INCIDENTAL good from the coal
strike can hardly be thought CON-
pensation for the enormous waste
and misery caused by such an un-
fortunate complication. The i'll wind
may not be looked upon as anything
but i'll, but perhaps it might be en-
dured with more patience IL it re-
suited, as it promises, in compelling
the railroads to use anthracite coal
on larger number OF their trains.
Soft coal is an unmitigated nuisance
on passenger engine, and its use
can only be pardoned where hard coal
cannot be obtained or where traffic is
so light as to render the expense pro-
hibitory. Many railroads which
formerly used soft coal altogether
were forced to use hard coal on a few
passenger trains, and the comfort OF
the public was thereby greatly in
creased. The patrons of line, once
accustomed to freedom from cinders
and smoke, will hardly permit a re-
turn to the old methods. 1t Is to be
hoped that the strike will contribute
something to the education of the
railroads and people in this direction.

A LONG and fattering invitatio

A LONG and fattering invitation
signed by an extensive list OF promi-
nent Americans has been sent to Mr..
Gladstone urging him to visit this
country. The invitation is de-
served compliment to the Grand Old
Man, but the signers can hardly have
contemplated the remotest possibil-
ity that he will accept it. 1t is ut
terly beyond the bounds OF PROBABLE
ity. Mr.. Gladstone is bad sailor
and breads the ocean. Even ii he
were a good sailor, he is very old
man and has many of the inflrmities
which accompany old age. Twenty
years ago such an invitation might
have been accepted by him, but 1t is
now too late to expect him to cross
the Atlantic and then endure lioniz-
ing over 5000 miles Of land, since
Canada as well as the United States
would claim him. The invitation
will be a graceful souvenir which he
will prize. but that he will accept it
is hopeless.

AN exchange says that rediscov-
cry OF the mine worked by De Soto

years ago has probably been found.
w. c. Pa6get, man who operates a
sawmill In the mountains of Geor-

shape of stone mortar ana other i'm
Elements. He secured the services
of an old mining engineer to inspect
the place. In one OF the excavations
they found the spur of a quartz vein,
in which there was a considerable
quantity of gold. The old engineer
said that 1t was valuable find, and
believes it is the exact spot where DE
Soto and his followers located and
mined for gold and silver three hun
dred years ago.

DIR. WALTER KEMPsTER, who was
one of the government experts in the
Guiteau trial, has made sensation
al statement relative to the insanity
of the assassin of President Garfield.
1t has always been claimed that the
prosecution in the Guiteau case was
merciless and that the resources of
the government were combined to
take his life, justifably or not DR..
Kempster states that so far from the
truth is this assertion the govern
ment instructed it's own experts to
find Guiteau insane IL possible, in
order that 1t should not go into his
tory that President of the United
States had been shot in time Of peace
by responsible man. Each expert
studied Guiteau for himself and
without knowledge OF the conclusion
reached by any Of his colleagues Dr..
Kempster further alleges that after
his death competent and disinterest.
ed examination by two specialists
showed that the brain of the assassin
was free from symptoms Of insanity.
DR.. Kempster's statement ought to
put at rest the widely held Relief
that there was vindictiveness on the
part of the Federal prosecution to-
ward the wretch who inflicted upon
the history of the United States so
foul blot.
