The Secretary of h Late Coal Combi

The Secretary of the Late Coal Combino
Given $500 Damages.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 8.-The notorious "coal
combine" iasco that created SO much
excitement in the last legislature is get
ting down to bed rock. A Judgment
was entered up in the office of the clerk
of the district court Wednesday in favor
of John J. Rhodes against members Of
the legislative committee that investi-
gated the coal combine. The Judgment
is for $500, and is against Ignatius
Donnelly. Philip B. Winston, Richard
A. Walsh, James A. Boggs, Hitler Il.
Horton, William Lockwood and Frank
L. Morse. These were members of the
joint committee from the senate and
house that made a seizure of the books
and papers in the Office of John ]. Rhodes
when investigating the change that o
combine had been formed to
Keep Up the Price Of Coal.
Rhodes was alleged to be secretary al
the combine. The gentlemen named
moved to quash the service OF summon
on them in the suit of Mr.. Rhodea.
which alleged damages in the sum Of
$4,000 for the seizure of books and
papers. Upon hearing the motion Judge
Otis decided that the members of the
legislature were exempt from service
while the legislature was in session.
The supreme court reversed the case.
1t was then sent to John L.Townley az .
master in chancery, to ascertain by evil
dence what damage had been done by
the seizure of the books and papers, and
to report a judgment in the matter. Nh.
Townley reported the sum of $500 and

the defendants named had failed to
answer in the main case, the Judgment
is one by default.

Professor Thom>A H. Huxley's latest
word. as given In his Romanes address,
may be taksn as the conclusions of the
great>ss scientist and philosopher Of his
on the subject of moral training
and teaching and the evolution of the
race to a higher and better phase Of ex-
istence. The professor declares there is
no such thing as ethics in evolution.
There is a great world soul, a cosmos,
call it what you will, that works with
fiery. ceaseless, reckless energy to repro
d. e and preserve the race. This i'm
plants in the breast Of every living crea-
ture the instinct to preserve itself and
get the best of everything for itself. To
gain this end it will fight, claw, steal
and crush and kill everything that op-
poses it.
This cruel, relentless monster is really
mature" az Professor Huxley under
stands her. To make progress in moral
ity, kindness, doing as we would be
done by, a constant fight against this
world soul is necessary. Such a fight
must be met and made by every n who
desires the finer. higher race develop
ment. He must go square against ma
ture. 1t is a glorious fight. Professor
Huxley believes with all his soul in max
ing that fight.
Here are some of his beautiful closing
words:
The cosmic nature born with us, and to q
large extent necessary for our maintenance, Is
the outcome of millions of years Of severe
training, and 1t would be folly to imagine that
q few centuries will suffice to subdue Its mas
terfulness to purely ethical ends Ethical ma
ture may count upon having to reckon with q
tenacious and powerful enemy as long as the
world lasts. But, on the other hand, l see no
limit to the extent to which intelligence and
will, guided by sound principles Of investiga-
ton and organized in common effort, may
modify the conditions of existence for a period
longer than that now covered by history. And
much may be done to change the nature Of
man himself. The intelligence which has con-
verted the brother Of the wolf into the faithful
guardian Of the flock ought to be able to do
something toward curbing the instincts Of saw
agery in civilized men.
But II we may permit ourselves a larger hope
of abatement of the essential evil of the world
than was possible to those who, in the infancy
Of exact knowledge, faced the problem of ex-
istence more than a score of centuries ago, !
deem 1t an essential condition of the realiza-
ton of that hope that we should cast aside the
notion that the escape from pain and sorrow is
the proper object of life.
We have long since emerged from the heroic
childhood of our race. when good and evil
could be met with the same 'frolic welcome;'
the attempts to escape from evil, whether In
dian or Greek, nave ended in flight from the
battlefield; it remains to us to throw aside the
youthful overconfidence and the no less youth
full Encouragement of homage. We are grown
men, and must play the man
Strong in will
To strive. to seek. to find and not to yield,
cherishing the good that falls In our way and
bearing the evil, in and around us, with stout
hearts set on diminishing it.

Fral cisco during the first six months OF
the present year, and, whereas, no pro.

I, j. E. Richards, governor, do hereby
earnestly request that steps be
promptly taken to secure by private sub
scriptions a sum adequate to meet the
expenses of a substantial display.
While an exhibit of all the products
of this state would be creditable to local
enterprise and beneficial to the common
wealth, existing conditions may confine
our efforts to a mineral exhibit. Space
for a mineral display has been accorded
Montana free Of expense by the state
board of managers Of the fair, and

The innate selishness of mankind
shows up in a lurid light among some of
the European diplomatic officials in Rio
Janeiro. There have been hints and signs
that they favored from the beginning the
aus of Mello, the insurgent. Nothing
was done of an overt nature, however, and
the United States agents in Brazil could
only guess that such was the case. 1t has
gradually TRANSFERRED, though, that the
European diplomats hope the breaking
up of Peixoto's power will in some way
annul the reciprocity treaty between
Brazil and the United States and throw
across the water the trade which by rea-
son of that treaty now comes to us.
Therefore they encourage by all the I'M
derhanded means in their power the
rebel side. Some people are mean enough

A Girls Idea of Football.

A girl describes from the young lady
standpoint a football game between the
Princeton preparatory school and the
Freehold IN. j. seminary teams. Her
unique account is published in the Free
hold Seminary Junior Journal. A BIZ
cycle race took place after the ball game
was over, and the sharp penned young
woman tackles that too. She says Of
the football:
Being a girl, unfortunately, l do not UNDER
stand much about football. At first there
seemed to be a glorious scrimmage, then a free
fight. Next l saw a multitude of arms and legs
waving wildly about in the air; then the own
ers appeared, and each claimed his own limbs.
Then somebody kicked the ball, there was an
other grand rush, clapping, prancing. hooting
and whistling, and ] was informed that the
first half was over,
Then followed the second half. To my mex
perienced eyes it was exactly the same as the
first. with the interesting fact added that
some one was hurt" He was not hurt badly
only enough to give added spice to the game.
After the final rush was over, l was told the
game was finished. The score was 24-0.
Below she describes the bicycle race:
The scenes which l shall call "sideshows''
were of vastly more interest than the game.
Two specimens Of young America" mounted
on wheels were racing around the track. The
exciting moment had come. They were abreast,
when, bang! their wheels had locked.
For a second nothing was visible save a cloud
of dust. mingled with the groans Of the fallen
one. AS the cloud cleared away, one had an
indistinct glimpse of boy, bicycle and dirt. The
last named article predominated. The wheel
was bent nearly double. Boy unhurt. Twas

into the question Of railroad losses for
1893 and finds it to be the most disas-

encountered. Nearly one-ffth of the rail

of receivers. The united capital Of the

rolling stock and other property, amounts

We CALAMITY uphold the banner of the

their intellectual equality with man,
there is one thing we would like to know.
That is, in case of any disturbance in a
closely packed throng, why is it always
the women who faint, start a panic,
trample upon n another and get hurt?
We simply ask for information, but why
do not the ladies keep their heads on and
remain quietly in their seats till they find
out what the matteris? Thus they would

~gloriously. Besides-and don't forget it
