Onr Advantages.

i The last coal strike helped TO advertise
! the coal Of this section, and i viii not be
iiiong until mining will he doas here on
1 large scale.
On account Of the thickness Oh our Goa
seams and natural Drainage it costs just
! half as much per ton TO mime coal in this
| FIELD as it does in the ii;in scanls OF Ohio
and Indiana, sIiclt are i,el,w the surface,
and dangerous on accounted foul gasses,
besides the quality of our coal for both
coking and fuel purposes is far superior
to theirs, and when re fake ali these
things in consideration and with freight
rate of one dollar per ton to Louisville
Cincinnati and two dollars to Chicago, it
is wonder we are not shipping fsc hun
dred csrs per day 10 these places.
The natural market for our coal,
though, is not in the West, but should be
our sea coast cities, West Indies, Mexico
and South America, but We are cut off
from this market by the arbitrary action
OF the Norfolk and Western Railroad,
whose officers control The output of the
Blueield add Pocahontas region, and as
long as they can partially supply this
trade and keep the prices up thsy will
not give rates to other coal shippers, but
they arc hurting their own interests, for
while their coali is splendid for coking it
will not "stand up or remain in Jumps
when shipped to southern ports, but
Stacks like lime, and when they try to
force it on cur Southern neighbors they
ruin the reputation Of the coal of this
section. Coal in Brazil sells at nine dol
lars and fifty cents per ton and our navy
vessels that use thousands Of tons Of it
have TO buy i. from English dealers.
1t is fact, that in order to make
quick trip to Rio Jenero it is necessary to
cross the ocean and 60 to England and
turn to Brazil, several thousand miles out
of the way.
| see that Cincinnati and Louisville are
trying to get Congress to let them have
500, 900 to get fast mail route to our
Southern cities. This is a good thing,
and a similar plan should be worked to
establish 4 steam ship line between our
sea board cities and our Southern neigh
bors, SO we could furnish them our coal
and othor products.
AS soon as the present tariff bill is set
tied, which, by the way, is the most just
bill ever passed by any party,our resources
will attract attention. Tie income tax
will cause the right to hunt investments,
such as coal and timber lands, that show
no income, yet increase in value faster
than anything else, and Congress will
giveus free coinage of silver based upon
It's true and actual value, which is now
about thirty to one and then we will have
such a flow of money in this direction
that we will have plenty of railroads and
forget all about these hard times.

| We had occasion some days ago to sal
attention to the fact that While the apar
/ Of bnnpn life is widening, the desire fo'
life does moi seem to keep pace With the
greater Longevity which is vouchsafed the
human race.
The Increased tehdsncy to suicide mas
not been accounted for in satisfactory
way. Yesterday Colonel Thomas M.
Barne saok hrs own lie in lis beautiful
home in Washington Colonel Bayne
represented The piftsburg district in
congress for sixteen years, and declined a
denomination in 1890 in order to go abroad
for his health. lie spsnt three years in
Europe, and returned last summer appar-
emily in good spirits. He Was man OF
very large public spirit and Intelligence
and one whose domestic life was charm
ing. He.had much to live for, one would
think, yet be willingly put an end TO his
existence.
The question. arises, is civilization mag
ing towards Of us? Have men as much
courage as they had hundred years ago7
Can they face the Ills of life as steadily as
they could when the struggle for life itself
vas intense, and when the safeguards
thrown about human life were few!
Modern science has made it easy live to IN
this day. Danger from disease and aeciz
dent ia reduced and dozens Of harms
which were fatal century ago are no
longer cause for grave alarm. Formerly
men had to Fl ght for life and the right ts,
live. They chung to life and suicide was
rare. To-day men with everything TO
make life smooth shrink from trouble and
seek protection in death. Courage has
not kept pace with the development of
the vital principal.-Cincinnati Tribune.

A young lady of prcpossessing appear

Record. was sitting in the waiting room

handsome cid gentleman, with charm

moments he learned from her that she
had lost her position in the treasury de-
psrtm.nt ard VAS anxious TO get some
filing to do She learned from him at the
same time that he Was member OF the
house of representatives, friend OF Sec
rotary Carlisle and sort of fairy god
father to all handsome young ladies' in the
government departments. He took great
interest in their welfare, and was always
glad TO do them any service. He promIs-

very day and see if he could not persuade
Secretary Carlisle to restore her to her
former position, and to call upon her that

arose to leave, and offered his card, upon
which WAS the name Of ". G. ?. Brcckin-
ridge, of kentucky. The young lady fiush-

tho table, and Indignantly told Colonel
Breckenridge that he must not say any

hibited throughout TIE evening. The
musical part Of the program was efficient

Bette Duff, and Mcssrs. John Fox, Jr., S.
F. Chapman and DR.. Whitehead. Special
mention must be made Of the skilful play
ing on the piano of our friend John Fox

fined to driving the quill; and also the
ability with which our friend Chapman
added to his effective playing on the same
instrument by his singing, in harmony
with tho dance.
