AFTER MATH.

Senator Palmer of Illinois has been ask
ing Congress to pay the French exhibitors
at the Worlds Fair for the damage done
their exhibits by fire. That the French
exhibitors should be paid will be admitted,
but it is not so clear that the National
Government should pay them. The Ill
inois corporation might with equal pro-
priety ask Congress to make up the loss
the fair entailed upon the Stockholders
Following is the view OF Chicago paper:
Already all of the good effects OF the Worlds
Fair so far as France is concerned are endan-
gered by the consequences OF the fire, ana all
of the efforts of our good friends Commissioner
General KrantZ and Consul General Bruwaert,
have been unavailing TO avert or modify the
wrathful utteraBces OF the French newspapers
and French exhibitors. Chicago is the sufferer
in the loss OF its good name
The ground upon which Mr.. Palmer
now bases his request to Congress is that
Europeans when asked to exhibit wsre
assured that the Government of the United
States was at the back of the enterprise.
The fair managers had no right to make
this representation. but it is proba BILE that
they did so. intending at the time to settle
all claims themselves. They borrowed
the credit of the Government without in
tending to abuse 1t. The possible good
effects of fair are thus sacrificed. For
eigners who think they have cause OF
complaint return home and exaggerate
their grievances. Echoes of coming events
already resound on this coast. In two or
three months a few thousand wild-eyed
adventures from all corners Of the world
will spread in all directions and advertise
California as it has never been advertised

fame is, it seems fast firing Of the pleasures OF
English country lie, and has just sold his es-
tate. BowdeD, to Robert Harvey of Dundridge,
who is forming one of the most compact and
important properties in Deyonshire. The
house, which is close to Totnes, is remark
ably fine specimen of the style commonly de-
scribed as Queen Anne.
The Queen Regent of Holland wears the
plainest kind of clothes, but spends much time
and thought on her small daughters toilets.
Queen Wilbelmina wears nothing but material
of the most exquisite texture, and all her linen
has the "W" and crown beautifully embrol-
dered upon IL.
Prudente Moraes. the President-elect OF
Brazil, is an extensive coHee-raser, but the
grounds upon which be was elected are that he
is man OF great ability, an uDcompromlsing
republican and patriot Of unquestionable In
tegrity.
George S. Hubbard and his sister, Mrs. Rob-
erts, twins. celebrated their eighty-first BIRTH
day anniversary at Farmville, Conn.,, last

A POOR EXAMPLE.

The Democratic House has decided that
there shall be a break ia the progress OF
constructing new navy. The great ANY,
yards which have been built in the expec-
tation that number of warships would be
built this year will lie idle for couple OF
years. At time when laboring men are
asking the Government to provide them
with work. the Government is withdraw
ing from them work that in the past has
been given them. OF course the excuse
given for this stop in navy construction is
the lack of money. But if the Government
cannot raise money with which to carry
on its regular business. who can? If the
Government steps out when all other en-
ployers are urged to strain point to keep
men at work, is not the Government set
ting poor example?

ferings of the past two years have led
them TO a coDcilatory frame of mind.
The reduction in the price of Newcastle
coal is a matter of Importance to San
Francisco, because New South Wales is
one of our chief sources of supply. We
do not get as much coal from the Austria
liam colonies as we do from Vancouver. be-
cause the latter is so much nearer, but II
the Australians reduced their price ma
terially there is no reason why we should
not consume their product 10 preference,
especially as it is generally better article.
The mines in Vancouver are close mo-
nopolv. 1t has been shown that they could
supply Wellington coal, delivered at Sa n
Francisco, for S4 long ton, and still make
a handsome profit. They charge SIS and So.
and consumers here pay from SO to Sl2.
AS they are masters of the situation IL is
futile to grumble. AS the agent said when
he was demonstrated with. "You don't
imagine we are in the coal business for
our health" One of the island owners
was able to give bis daughter when she
married the other day princely fortune.
If San Francisco can buy the best New
castle Goa! free on board at 81 it ought to
sell here at retail for not over 81 per ton.
This would constitute saving OF over
one-half the expense of fuel to city and
coast familes-no mean saving In these
hard times. An average family uses eight
10 twelve tons of coal per year, at cost
of $50 to $120. If this source of expense
were cut down one half the economy
would 90 some distance toward offsetting
the reduction OF profits to which the dull
ness in business has led. If Australia sets
the example Vancouver will not be slow to
follow. The Dunsmuir party have thus
far had everything their own way; If tee
Australians can supply US with better
article at half what they are asking they
will have to meet the cut.
The morning call., 1894-04-21
A REDUCTION IN COAL.

One of the usual effects of commercial
depression Is collapse of monopolies.
For several years the collleries of New
castle, n. S. W., have worked under a
castiron compact, the managers OF which
regulated the price at which coal should be
supplied to the public. The compact
among the mne-owners led to counter
compact among the miners, who formed a
union. fixing the price at which coal should
be mined, and refusing to permit outsiders
to work underground. During the labor
conflict of the past two years these CON-
pacts led to friction. The paralysis of in
dustry in Australia reduced the consump-
ton of coal. Mine-owners attempted to
save themselves by reducing wages; this
was resisted by the unions, and in some
cases the military had to be called out to
keep the peace. An adjustment of the
controversy was reached, but il was not
satisfactory to either party. 1t has just
led to decision by the mine-owners to
abolish the compact. and to let each mine
make such rates for its product as it chose.
The largest mine at Newcastle now an
nounces that it will supply the best coal,
free on board, at 81 "a per long ton; and
some of the smaller mines offer even better
terms. N1he wages of miners in Austral la
fiuctuate with the market price of coal,
but il has been agreed that they shall
never go below three and sixpence, say So
cents per ton. This agreement now goes by
the board with the other compacts, and the
mine above mentioned announces that its
minimum wages for screened coal will be
three and twopence, say 7S cents. There
appears to be disposition on the part OF
the miners to accept these terms: the SUI.

cotic influence of Republicanism." If we
may judge from the number of Democ rats
who have recently voted the Republican
ticket the work of publication is proceed
ing at rate which ought to satisfy even a
Bourbon. What will be left of the party
when all the Democrats who believe in
protection have joined the Republicans
can only be surmised. The Finance Com
mittees of both houses have been besieged
by protectionist Democrats who begged TO
have industries in which they were en-
gagged exempted from the ruin the Demo-
