A Cherished Document.

The simple people of Alsace, who retain in their hearts strong love for France at the same time that they are desirous not to offend their German rulers too much, have hard time of it when they are brought to the ballot box to vote for rep resentatives in the German parliament In one election in a certain Alsatian dis trct the two candidates were Kable, an Alsatian of French sympathies, who had protested against the annexation after the war of 1870, and German.
 On election day a peasant came to the polling place. which was presided over by a German official. The peasant had in one hand ticket on which was printed the name of Kable, and in the other ticket bearing the nane of tho German candi. date.
 'Mein herr,' he said to the German election officer, twill you tell me which of these two tickets is the better ones''
 The officer looked at them. "Why, this is much preferable, said he, indicating the Germans ticket.
 "Ah, thank youl" answered the peas ant 1T will keep it next my heart He folded it carefully and put it in his inside coat pocket.
 ''As for this other, then,' said he, with an air of putting it away from him as an unworthy thing, T will leave it here!'
 And he put the Kable ticket in the bal lot box.-Youth's Companion

 For annoying irritations, chafngs and ex- coriations of the skin and mucous membrane or too free or offensive precipitation it has proved most grateful.
 In the preparation of curative washes, solu- tions, etc., it is most valuable; possessing, bys means of it's combination with CUTIcuRA, pecu- liarly purifying, cleansing and soothing pro- perties. It is thus enabled to heal mucous irrta-l tions, the cause of many annoying and debilitat-, ing weaknesses, while 1t imparts strength to. the membrane.
 CUTICURA SOAP possesses antiseptic pro-f. perties and is capable of destroying microscopics life in many forms. II
 There is no difference between the skin ands the mucous membrane except that one is dry the other moist. Hence CUTIcURA SOAP exerts the same purifying, soothi:s, ., and healing in., 1uence in ono case as in the other. !

And we congratu-~ late the country upon the enactment of the laws by the present congress which lift burdens from the bread earners of the land, emancipate people from commercial restrictions, encourage trade with foreign nations and will add to the prosperity and happiness of our entire country.

 "We honor and commend the adminis- tration of our democratic president, Grover Cleveland, as being honest, firm, fearless and patriotic. We especially commend him for approving the repeal of the federal election law, which was undermining ihe rights of sovereign states and was subver- sive of constitutional free government. We also commend his devotion and untring efforts to secure efficient tariff reform, and for appointing southern men to the highest positions of confidence and trust.''

ANTHRACITE COAL SITUATION.
Action or the Individual Operators May
Cause Trouble.

The resolutions passed at tho meeting OF tho
individual operators in the anthracite coal trade
on Wednesday evening have created a great deal
OF gossip among the coal traders. The resolu-
tons were in the form Of a request to the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company to sell their coal at the
best price obtainable at any and all points in
order that prices at interior points and at tide
water may be more nearly in harmony. 1t is ex-
pected that similar demands will be made on
other coal shippers. The Lehigh Valley Coal
Company purchases about 81 per cent. OF its
coal from individual operators, and the demand
was therefore made first on that company.
About 30 per cent. OF the anthracite coal
market Is prod uccd by the individual operators,
who sell II 10 the companies on a basis OF 90 per
cent: OF tidewater prices. Any cutting of prices
Is felt more heavily at ldewater points where
the greatest competition prevails, and the per-
ccntage To the operators suffers. although the
coal companies may be getting full prices at in
terror and line points. The adjustment OF the
differences in prices would require either an adj
vance In tidewHter or a reduction In line prices.
IL Is not known yet what action the coal COM
panies will take.
Messrs. Coke Bros. e. Co. announced Yesterday
their intention OF selling coal in future at ali
points At prices proportional to those ruling at
tidewater. This firm will. II is thought, produce
AT least ",oOO.OOO of tons this year. or nearly
double its last years production, and has been
endeavOring 10 secure u REIMBURSEMENT OF per-
centagcs.

Will Bear Thi. Title After Jan. 4. 1896.
Mr.. J. Picrpont Morgan made the following
statement yesterday in regard to the impending
changes in tho firm Of Drexel. Morgan & Co.:
II regret extremely that these rumors were
circulated. and their authenticity apparently
confirmed by announcement In the press on a
day when we were all engaged In paying the
last tokens Of respect to our late rartner, Mr..
Wright, and when we naturally could not be
consulted as to their correctness.
I'm view, however. OF what has been an
nounced 1t Is perhaps proper. to avoid any mis-
understanding. that I should say officially what
should otherwise with all propriety be delayed
until January.
The present copartnership carrying on bust
ness In Philadelphia as DreIel& Co. and in New
YORK as Drexel. Morgan * Co. will expire, ac-
cOrding to It's terms, at the end OF the year,
owing, to the death OF our late Mr.. Anthony j.
Drexel. AT that time a new copartnership will
be formed by all surviving partners. which will
carry on business In New York under the firm
name Of Up. Morgan & Co, and in Philadelphia
under the firm name OF Drexel d Co. Ofthis
firm Mr.. Robert Bacon. now OF the firm of T..
Rollins Morse d Bro. of Boston, will also be q
member.
1T is also perhaps due to the public that I
should say that the organization Of the new firm
will be such rs to involve no change in the char
acter or scope of the business heretofore trans
acted by the old firm.
The name OF our firm In Paris after January
Will be Morgan. Harjes q Co. instead Of Drexel,
HarRes & GO. as at present.
Tho statements in the press respecting
changes In the London firm OF J. s. Morgan 4
Co. consequent upon changes here. are entirely
erroneous and unfounded. That firm, rs Is well
known, Is an entirely independent one, and, be-
yond the fact that | am myself personally a
partner in both. has no financial connection with
the firm here.
