Steamers Laden With Foreign Coal
Supply Our Factories.

AAEA WIN E0Tcl&u lGdi
Supply Our Factories.
The Dominion Coal Company, Of
Canada, for whose welfare and pros
rerity both the President and the free
traders were SO solicitous when pass.
ing their reform tariff bill in 1904,
has been rather cautious in attempting
to capture our markets since the duty
on coal was lowered. Now, however,
they have made beginning. The
Fall River Mass Daily Herald notes
the arrival of foreign a steamer from
Louisberg, Cape Breton Island, with
cargo of soft coal, adding:
1.-THE Bratten is the first steamer
that has run to this port with coal
since away back in the forties, and
her cargo of foreign coal is the first
to come in here for ten years. The
coal was shipped by the Dominion
Coal Company, of Boston, who intend
to put this coal on the market. The
Dominion Coal Company was organ.
lied three years ago by Henry M.
Whitney, of Boston. The corporation
has purchased mines in the Cape
Breton Island and claims the quality
of the coal to be far superior to that
found in Nova Scotia. The coal will
be put on the local market cheaper
than any other coal of the same
grade"
This will be interesting news to our
friends in the South, notably to those
in West Virginia who were once de-
luded into voting for Professor Will
son. Every ton OF this coal that
comes from Her British Majesty s
Dominion will supplant ton OF our
American ccal Every ton of this
coal that is mined for our markets
affords work for Canadian miners.
At the same time it deprives Ameri-
can miners of similar amount of
work. Each fire or furnace that
burns ton of this coal shuts off the
demand for ton of American coal.
Halt a century has elapsed since
foreign steamship. laden with for
eign coal, has entered Fall River.
The coal is said to be of good quality
in fact "far superior to that found in
Nova Scotia So much the worse for
American miners. The better the
quality, and the more cheaply it can
be mined, so much the harder upon
our people We trust. that this Job
ject lesson" v Be lost upon
West Virginia kentucky and
Maryland, two southern States that
acknowledge the wisdom of aPfotec-
tive policy; nor upon those other
Southern States that do need protec-
ton, but which have not yet acknowl-
edged it.
The free trade experience OF the
sheep farmers will be felt. though to
less degree, by the miners both of
coal and iron. Their experience.
however, will not be so disastrous,
because the Democrats were checked
in their efforts to give US absolute free
trade in coal and in iron ore, succeed
ing only in lowering the tariff on
these two articles. The results, as
far as coal is concerned, we have
shown. Offoreign iron ore we import
ed no less than 524,I53 tons last year,
an increase of 355,6I2 tons over the
imports of 1894 Last year we sent
abroad 1916, 2o7 to pay for foreign
iron ore, and SI.337978 to pay for
foreign pig iron, nearly million dol
lars more than in 1894. This is not
good news for the workers in our iron
mines, though it is but ''touch" of
free trade.

Jefferson County Politics.

Editor R. W. Morrow, of the Farm
er's Advocate, Charles Town, is a
candidate for the House of Delegates.
That Mr.. Morrow is eminently quail
fed cannot be gainsaid. That his
qualifications will be recognized by
the Democratic ring which controls
Jefferson County is exceeding doubt
ful. If he does not bend the preg-
nant hinges" to that ring then he
will be relegated to the rear.
He is announced subject to the
Democratic primary which is ordi-
narily the safe thing to do, but we
very much fear his we'll known indie
pendence MAY be his bane.
Though differing politically about
as radically as it is possible to differ,
the Herald wishes Mr.. Morrow album
dant success.
There are others who very proper
ly aspire to official positions in that
county, but when they or their friends
suggest the matter to the powers
that be they are met by an icy frown
than which Nansen's north pole is a
stick Of lunar caustic.
Among the number are William
Fountain Alexander, asplendid young
man, who is announced as a candidate
for clerk of the County Court and
James Mason, jr., who would very
efficiently fill the Office of prosecuting
attorney, but they must stand aside
in order to allow the gentlemen who
hold a lien on the Jefferson County
offices to enjoy the emoluments there
OF for another generation.
Mutterings of discomfort are heard
and there may be an eruption. Then
there will be fun in the galleries. 1t

dry civil and other appropriation bills

an increasing deficit no other course

been ample revenue for all purposes;
but as they did not, they have no

to people though his district for not

debt increasing at the rate of more

NEW CRICKET PLAYERS.
Soldiers Anxious to Place a Team
In the Field.
Honolulu Cricket Club to be Rewarl-
ed - Interest Manifested - Ex-
citing Contest Expected.

To keep up interest ia cricket
in a place such as Honolulu is bv
no means an easy matter because
it is seldom that visiting teams
reach this port and also because
but few people here are capable
of playing the game. Even with
base ball, claiming as many devo
tees as that game does, there is
often difficulty in maintaining in
terest enough to keep the thing
going.
Notwithstanding all the diff
cuIties that have beset the pro
gress of cricket in Honolulu, the
local cricket club has kept up re-
markably we'll and now it is about
to receive it's reward.
At practice of the Honolulu
Cricket Club last Saturday after,
noon there were present some of
the soldiers from the regular
companies who have played
cricket before and who are
anxious to keep up work in that
line. So fayOrably were they i'm
pressed with the outlook for some
exciting contests that they decid-
ed then and there to form a club
and begin practice.
They went to work with will
and yesterday afternoon a whole
team was out in front of the drill
shed fully equipped and practic-
ing delightfully."-. 1t will be sought
to form two teams in the ranks
of the soldiers so that constant
practice may be obtained. The
prime movers are Messrs. III. y.
Taylor. F. II. Kilbey, j. Middle
ton and II. Reade.
Every encouragement should
be given the men. 1t is an assur-
ed fact that they will have the
hearty support of all lovers Of
athletic sports.

Testimony of Principal Witnesses
Whole Day.
The famous bribery case of zee Chin,
Kat Poo and Loo Chit Sam came up for
trial in the District Court before Judge
De La Vergne yesterday morning, and
took up the best part of the day.
W. R. Castle appeared for the prose-
cution and Messrs. Hartwen and Thurs
ton for the defense. Each of the de-
PENDANTS plead not guilty in turn and
resumed his seat in stolid Indifference.
Thomas Cook, the inspector who was
approached by the three Cinnamon, was
the first witness on the stand and gave
the most damaging testimony of the
day. The story told was substantially
the same as the report given in the Ad-
Vertiser Immediately after the matter
was handed over to the police authori
ties. He was given money to check off
the names of certain Cinnamon Suppos-
ed to leave on the bark Orient, without
requiring their presence aboard.
Cook remained on the stand until
course he was given the usual time al
lowance for lunch.
The other witnesses were T. P. Sew
erin, Alex Nicholas, Deputy Collector
MacStocker, Captain Parker and Cap
tain Sanders.
The case will be continued today.

The manufacturers of
Pears soap have made a
fortune, not alone through
advertising their wares, but
by having their wares pure.
Ivory soap in the United
States has had an enormous
sale for the same reasons.
But the Self-Washing Soap
made in Monmouth, Illinois,
is destined to supercede
both Pears and Ivory, be-
cause it is absolutely pure.
We have used this brand for
washing and toilet and find
it elegant.
The feature in this Self
Washing Soap is the absolute
freedom from ingredients
which are damaging to the
hands or clothing. A woman
may wash for a full day and
not feel any bad effects. AS
it requires no rubbing the
tired feeling which follows
a washing with ordinary
soap is avoided.

feature; it's cheap. We sell
you four cakes for a quarter
"a dozen for seventy cents.
