CITY AND THE CONSOLIDATED.

No one will be disposed TO withhold
from the joint special committee on
terminal facilities the credit of render
ing the city valuable services in n mat
ter OF vital and paramount Importance.
The reports it has made from time to
time have shown that il has been actu-
ated 10y desire to secure for the city
the improvement and enlargement Of
railroad facilities at the earliest posi-
bic moment.
II is safe TO say that no one knows
or appreciates more the necessity for this
oft promised and much discussed i'm
provement than tine members of this
committee, and they have laborcd zeal
ously 20 bring about the new conditions
which cannot fail OF benciiting the city

it's work well and ably. IL has secured

IT is better to have discovered that
the Worlds fair is not to be financial
success at this late date as some of our
contemporaries have done, than not to
have discovered it at all. But the ele-
ment Of finance is the last one which
Chicago considered. To any one who
stopped to consider that $4,000 paid
entrances were required daily in
order to repay those who loaned
the money, it was at once
evident that there was no possi-
bility of recovering the $32, 100000 in
vested. Chicago will be satisfied with
having produced the greatest exposition
that the world has ever seen, and she
has every reason to be content.

THE NEWS, TUESDAY. AUGUST /. 1893.

ths Consolidated company have been

is inconccivablo that were it really anx-
ious TO enter ufon this improvement 1t
would have delayed so long in accept
ing the deeds of the property for which
II WIS SO clamorous few months ago.
The mayors action in asking II report
from the committee, however, has
the appearance of an anti election
coup, the value Of which one way or
the other is very doubtful. The mayor
must have been aware of ihc exact con-
dition of affairs, MS the committee has
made no secret of the progress of its
dealings with the Consolidated road
That being the case his communication
last night must be regarded more as "a
political proclamation than anything
else.

THE NAvAHoes PERFORMANCE.

Although tho Navahoe finished third
in yesterdays race at Cowes, there is
no reason for Encouragement on the
part of those who hope to see the Bristol
boat return with several victories to
her credit. Taking the conditions and
circumstances into consideration it can
be said the Navahoe, in this prelimin-
ary trial, made as good showing as
ought to bc expected under the circum-
stances.
In reaching she was unquestionably
superior to either the Britannia or the
Valkyrie and it was only in the wind
ward work she lost the lead in the
second round. This may have been due
to several causes but the falling off is
not sufficient to indicate that after a
few changes, which probably suggested
themselves during the race, are made,
the Navahoe will not be able to give the
other yachts good view or her stern in
the contests yet TO come.
As it was Mr.. CAROLS sloop was only
/ minute and 90 seconds behind the
winner-certainly not very large
margin, especially for stranger sail
ing in strange waters.
Taken all in all the excellent per-
Torrance of the Navahoe in her maiden
race gives encouragement to hope that
when she returns to these shores she
win bring with her some Of the trophies
the speedy British toats carried away a
few ycars aUO.

The days of miracles have passed, or
else it might be possible to run news
paper on his crude ideas as to the value
of advertising space. 1t would require a
miracle to do so in this day and genera
ton, for the printer would have to pos
sess the miraculous power of multiply
ing the few dimes received and make
them answer a purpose similar to that
which the loaves and fishes did in feed
ing the five thousand.
Before dismissing the subject, how
ever. it might be said that indiridualS
pay more for their advertising than does
the Board of County Commissioners. a
man with business ideas in his head gen
orally knows something of the value OF
advertising and does not object to pay
ing its worth. Arivate advertisers pay
for their indicidual transient advertise
ments at the rate of 81 per square for
first insertion and fifty cents for each
subsequent insertion. This is what busi-
ness individuals pay for advertising in
the COURIER, while the County Commits
sioners get the county advertisements in
both papers for one-half this price.
Whatever may be the narrow ideas
entertained by Mr. Galbreath and those
whose composition he furnishes to the
county press, an Intelligent public will
say to the County Commissioners OF Oco-
nee: ''Well done, good and faithful SER

The Souh's Coal Deposits.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, January 9.-Ihe
Tradesman in its annual for 1898. just
published, says that the coal deposits of
the Southern States are estimated from
its returns to underlie 81, 345 square miles
of Territory. Southern coal mining was
not prosecuted extensively until 1880,
when the output was 3,944, ,255 tons. In
1890 Il, ,64O, ,2S9 tons were mined, and the
output for 1892 is estimated at Is, POI 200
tons. West Virginia is at present the
largest producer of Goa, followed by Ala
bama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia,
Texas, Arkansas and Georgia in the
order named. When extensive improve
ments in river navigation, now under
way, are finished it is believed that Ala
bama and Tennessee coal can be deliv-
cred at the tide-water for expectation at
from s1:5O to 50 per ton. Coke manufac-
ture in the South, the Tradesman says, is
of recent origin, not reaching 1000, 900
tons till 1915. From 1888 a steady
increase is shown. In that year 1,03O, ,642
tons of coke were made. in 1890 3,764, ,S2S
tons, and the manufacture of coke for
1892 is estimated at 4,250,o0o tons. The
figures given show that ton of coke
weighing 1000 pounds requires an aver
age of BIO pounds of Southern coal and
costs Sl6.67. Alabama coke, analyzing
o1.6o per cent OF pure carbon, is now
regularly produced.

Traitors In the Republican Camp.
New York World. ]

ISDIANAPoLIs, ND, January 9.-lt is
charged by Harrison's friends here that
Blaine's friends among the Republican
leaders secretly betrayed Harrison in the
recent campaign, in pursuance of an
agreement made in Minneapolis to do all
that they could to defeat Harrison when
he was nominated.
The story goes that Harry New, son of
Consul General New. visited New York
at the instance of the State committee
during the campaign to secure funds.
He met Clalkson. to whom he indicated
the lines on which Indiana might be car
ried for Harrison. Clarkson laughed at
the statement and indicated clearly that
he would not care if Harrison shcujd lose
Indiana. New then appealed 10 Chair
man Carter, who was more courteous than
Garrison. but who seemed to have little
hope of carrying the State.
New was deeply impressed with the
belief that the National Executive Com
mittee was under the influence of Clark
son, and that the latter was not loyal to
Harrison. He so informed the State
Committee upon his return. Acting upon
pointers which Clarkson had inadver-
tcntly given Harrison's managers began
an inquiry that demonstrated TO their
minds that conspiracy had been formed
among Blaine's friends to defeat the
President. Having satisfied themselves
that certain Indiana politicians were in
the conspiracy the inquiry was extended
to other States, and treason was found to
be rife in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan.
Iowa and other States, and it was discov-
cred that among the leaders were Clark
son, Cullom and Farwell, of Illinois.
The result of the investigation was
communicated to Carter, who laid 1t be-
fore Harrison. Carter was in favor OF
denouncing the conspiracy, but the Presi-
dent overruled him, saying tha. such a
course would do more harm than good.
1t was finally determined to notify the
friends of the President to be on their
guard. and, without letting the parties
know that they were suspected, 20 take
from them the direct management OF the
campaign. This policy was pursued dur
ing the remainder of the campaign.

Greenville Mountoineer: The objec-
ton is presisteutly urged against the
new iiouor law. thar the state is embark
ing in business which VIII detract from
Us dignity and character a. a common
wealth. and that it is dissraceful to COLI
stitute and employ the Governor OF South
Carolina as the chief saloon-keeper. 1t
seems to be forgotten that the govern
mear has always granted the power
TO others 70 make and sell alcoholic
Liquors, and that the present law only
changes the mode of operations. The
privilege to deal in ardent spirits has
been delegated through municipalities to
such persons as wished to- engage in the
traffic. but always under restrictions and
regulations. The power comes from the
State, which has frequently limited the
scale of operations, as for instance when
It refused this privilege to County Com
missioners. and confined the granting OF
LICENSES to towns and cities. Even many
towns are deprived by the laws OF the
State from granting licenses. Then it
follows that tie liquor traffic is
fully under Coz trol. of the State,
and it is no more disgraceful to
assume full and complete control than it
has been to grant these privileges to GER
tain citizens, whose abuse OF the fran
chise has led to a change in the manner
of conducting the operations in this busi-
ness
