Gone Dat, with Desperation.

The indications are that Mr.. McKin-
ley's candidacy is beyond the power of
canard, however Ingenious, plausible
or damaging that may apear to be. As
suredly it is beyond the point where
such idiotic trash as the anti-pension
letter forgery or the alleged Presley
letter, made public about the same
time, can possibly do it harm. Indeed
such manifest and slovenly attempts to
deceive can hurt no one against whom
they may be aimed. This Presley let
ter for instance assumes to be written
by man of sufficient prominence to
be in the confidence of the Republican
campaign managers and asserts that
Mr.. Hanna will see to it Immediately
after election that the standing army
shall be raised to 250,000 men and that
la Dor will be compelled to succumb to
force. First. no man of sufficient in
telligence to become possessed of the
confidence of the managers of any po
of writing such stuff were it true, to
man whose political status he was not
sure of; second. he would be man of
sufficient prominence to be found. But
after hunting all over Boston the only
Samuel Presley revealed either by the
search or the directory was laboring
man, a Mckinley man, who never
saw the letter or heard of the name of
the man to whom it was written. He
presumed that some of his fellow work.
men. who occasionally chaffed him be-
cause of his ardent admiration for
Major Mckinley, may have written
the letter in spirit of fun But the
letter had been given to the Colorado
press by the man who received it and
doubtless there are some out that way
who will believe it. Those, who do,
however, will be such as are already
convinced that no good can come out
the loss of their votes can be borne
with great equanimty. Both canards
are SO ludcrous that under ordinary
circumstances it might be proba bic
that they were the work of some
would be humorist. AS it is they
seem to be the first output of a series
of canards resorted to by men gone
daft With desperation.

Blaine in 1891.
(Whig and Courier.)

Candidate Bryan with a disregard for
honesty that stamps him as an unfit
man for any position of trust, has
been rushing over the country deliv-
ering speeches at fixed charge of $40
minute claiming among other things
that the late James G.. Blaine was an
advocate of free silver. AS a basis for
this ineXcusably false charge, he quotes
a garbled extract from one of Mr..
Blaine's speeches in Congress, the full
text of which has been circulated by
the Republicans as sound money doc
ument. so that this particular lie has
proved one of the many boomerangs
launched by the silverites in this cam
paign. Here is a letter written by Mr..
Blaine in 1891:

upon the scene, he would no doubt
have driven away and perhaps lost his

Not Harmonious.

Gus results are anticipated Town of
Harmony bonds to the value of $500
We're given to Contractor w. T. Davis
of Boston. in order that he might real
ize on them if possible and pay his
men. But these bonds are not payable
until the work is completed into Har-
mony. Therefore Mr.. Davis has not
been able to raise any money on them
as the road lacks some miles of COM
pietion and work is now entirely sus-
pended.
The bonds were issued bearing semi
annual interest and first interest be-
comes due on the Goth of January, 1897.
and the road must be built to Harmony
at that time or the bonds are no good.
The parties interested interviewed the
selectmen of Harmony and asked them
if they would pay the interest on the
bonds when due, if the road was not
built. and they received very decided
answer in the negative. Contractors
will want their bills paid for their sum-
mer's work. as they cannot pay their
men the wages now long since due I'M
less they got the amount due them.
Another difficulty will be to get labor
ers to work, as Italians in Boston know
the fate of their friends. who have
toiled all summer for nothing.
Harmony is determined to have the
road or not pay the bond and will fight
the payment of the bonds unless the
road is built upon the first condition.
Should the road be built, the town will
cheerfully do as they agreed. and pay
the bonds as they mature
The proprietors say that the road is
certain to be built, but that the atti-
tude of the parties concerned opposes
many obstacles.

COAL SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
Extraordinary Increase Of the Worlds Cor
sumption During Century.

In 1870, about the time the steam en-
CINE was invented. the consumption OF
coal in Great Britain was some $500.
900 gross tons a year. 1t had risen to
27,00O.O0O tons in 1876; to 50,S75000 tons
in 1850; to S4,042.69S tons in 1900, to 49,
S75,525 tons in 1870; to lag, 1868. 400 tons in
1880; to 1Sl,614,2SS tons in 1890 and to
1SS,277525 gross tons (21O,S70,S2S net
tons) in 1894. The result of the discus
sions on the subject of the duration of
the coal supply of Great Britain was
the conclusion that if the output in
creases in the same ratio as it has for
twenty or thirty years. the coal will
be exhausted in little over a century.
These estimates are now regarded as
excessive, as il is conceded that there
is in each nation limit to industrial
development, which, without consider
ing the great economics in the use Of
fuel will also limit the expenses of coal
production. Mr.. Gruener places this
limit for England at 250,00000O tons,
which supposes mining population
of 1,O00,0O0 miners and working pop
ulation of 100000
In the United States the production
of coal has been increasing in much
greater ratio than in Great Britain.
We cannot go back to the eighteenth
century and give figures of production
Of coal, nor is that necessary in order
to indicate how enormous has been the
Increase in its production and con-
sumption in the United States. At the
tenth census, 1880, the production of
coal in the United States is reported
at l,4Sl $40 net tons; at the eleventh
census. 1889, it had risen to l41, 229.5 13
net tons. nearly double, and in 1893, ac-
cording to the report of T.. w. Parwer
of the United States geological survey.
II was lS2,352, IA net tons, an increase
of more than two and one-half times
in thirteen years, doubling about every
i've years.
Similar increases could be shown for
the other great coal-producing coun-
tries, as Belgium, Germany, Austria
france and Russia The worlds de-
mands for heat and power are increas-
ing marvelously. while the worlds sup
ply of coal is definite quantity, and
it is an evident proposition that with
the exhaustion of its coal not only will
the power and influence of nation
decline, but even its existence may be
mperiled.-Cassier's Magazine.
