G. H. Goodell, assistant mechanical
engineer OF the Erie railroad, recently
made a test of the new Coke CRATE for
the use Of culm and pea coal, mixed.
The test was made with an ordinary
freight locomotive and was apparently
successful. Mr.. Goodell is now figur-
ing on the detailed statement, aud will
no doubt decide that the CRATE offers an
economy In the matter Of fuel. The
utilization Of oulm in this manner
would be an event of obvious import
nee in this locality.
The argument before the supreme
court this week of the famous riser"
cases, which involve the right Of the
AUDITOR general to set aside the capital
stock valuation of corporations and
impose tax upon much larger valua-
tions. disclosed many interesting points.

Western Railroad company. Auditor
General Gregg set aside the capital

companies and imposed tax upon much
larger Valuations reached by capital

argued, was authorized by the Boyer

The era of prosperity which is upon
rs is attested by the Chicago Inter
Ocean in its news columns Of the 18th
inst, and the special reference to the
iron and steel trade made in this con-
nection will be more than gratifying to
the thousands Of working men Of Illi-
nois who feel a particular interest in
this great industry. While the Inter
Ocean is radical republican organ Of
Illinois and one of the strongest pro-
lection papers in the United States, its
news columns, being edited by a man
who delves after interesting facts
rather than partisan editorials, show
the true condition of matters through
out the commercial world. The fol-
lowing. taken from the Inter Ocean of
the 18th inst, gives the lie direct to all
the pretensions of its editorial col
umns and will be read with interest by
people of the entire state:

The st. Louis Republic states that
two rev tin-plate mills are about to
he er, cted near Pittsburg. The OBJ
ject OF the promoters must be to
lower the wages OF Of American la
Dor. Republicans around Pittsburg
tell Us that tin plate cannot be made
without lowering wages to the Welsh
level or near 1t. Every new mill. it
would seem, is built with the inten-
ton Of employing pauper labor.
Perhaps the builders expect to i'm
port pauper labor. The republican
frienOs OF American labor have WAYS
Of acting that queer their own talk.
The tin-plate business is inclined to
prosper under the new tariff and
might prosper more without any pro-
lection ut all.

CONTROLLERS EcKLEs' return to
Washington, after looking over the
political situation in Illinois, speaks
with much con fidence as to the result
of the election in his.home state. The
republicans have made the same sort
of campaign that they have been
making everywhere on national is
sues-one OF lamentation over the
past and gloomy predictions for the
future. But the western spirit will
not wait for politics, and all reports
agree that there is no point in the
union where returning confidence
and courage are more vigorously
shown than in Chicago, and it ex'
tends to the vast region over which
its influence radiates. That is good
for the country, but bad for the re.
publicans, and they are likely to
find themselves in the situation OF
those politicians whose jeremaids
over the ruin Of the country in 1865
were drowned by the echoes of the
guns at Gettysburg.

Cullom must have. q care when he
exhibits the grasping selfishness Of
tariff grabbers to the contempt of re-
publican audiences. The pulling for
duties that would help individuals
and particular sections while the tar
if was before congress last summer
was not new. though it never before
has been mentioned by the senator in
public speech. The same thing,
only more Of it. has been witnessed
every time that there has been a tar
iii bill before congress the last so
years. General Garfield expressed
his profound disgust at it. He said
the committee room and the Hobbies
adjoining were crowded with tariff
hungry people bent on securing such
arrangement OF the schedules as
would profit their special interests at
the expense of the whole country.
So Disguised was he that he said he
had at times been tempted to urge
that the whole system be thrown
over and commerce relieved from all
obstacles placed in its way for the
benefit of selfish private interests.
There has never been a tariff bill be-
fore congress that did not call these
vultures to the capital. and the At
torneys Of special interests. members
OF congress, and hired lobbyists have
engaged in the like shameful strug-
giles as those witnessed in the late
session. 1t is part OF protection
