Up Goes the Price of CDal.

The coal combine seems to be getting in
its work early in the season. Local retail
merchants are already giving notice to
their customers that the prices will be
higher next fall and winter, the increase
ranging from twenty-five cents to a dollar
and a half per ton. There is no good rea-
son at haLd for this advance except the
greed of the monopolists who have secured
control of the anthracite output. AS cor
respondent writes, in letter published
elsewhere today. this proceeding is out
rage0usly defiant of the law against the
formation and operation of trusts. and if
the statute can not be enforced in it's pres
ent form it should be amended during the
early hoJr of the rext session of Con-
gress. Coal is now virtually a necessity,
and it's fluctuations in price should be only
such as the natural conditions of it's pro-
duction may dictate. The mere avarice of
the men in contro must rot be permitted
to enter into the transaction unless the
law makers are willing to foster the spirit
of restlessness against present industrial
conditions that is yearly growing more and
more difficult to ouiet.

The republican leaders concede that the
silver movement is formidable, end some
of them are of opinion that if the national
elections were appointed for an earlier day
there might be danger of silver triumph
at the polls. Their confidence of success
is based on the length of time for discus
sion. Nearly four months will elapse be-
tween the writing of the Chicago platform
and the day for passing on it at the polls
and the whole period will be utilized by the
sound money Zen in a campaign of edit
cation Their purpose is to begin this cam
p,ign at once. and keep 1t up without any
abatement of zeal to the end.
The silver men have materially the adj
vantage in this. They have been steadily
at work now for over a year sowing the
land with free silver literature and or
ganizing silver clubs In all the country
districts. This work was for a time the
derisio1 of the politicians. The men en-
gagged in 1t were classed as dreamers and
salaried aSitators. and 1t was predicted
that they would make no permanent i'm
pression anywhere. 1t would not be diff
cult to oYerturn their 1abors. But the poll
tcians were mistaken. These men have
worked all the harder for being despised.

Rational Aids to Pntriotism.

1t appears to be gradually dawring upon
the people of America that they have
Grifted somewhat from the old ideas OF
W hat constitutes a proper observance of
Independence Day. There seems to be
growing desire to return to the old-fash-
Toned ways of celebrating the birth of the
Republic, with such modern additions as
present-day skill and inyentiveness may
afford. Aids to patriotism in addition to
those provided by the customary firing of
explosives are demanded by pros -essive
sentiment. Elsewhere in TIL, Star today
correspondent proposes for this purpose
patriotic concerts by bands playing under
the orders of tn authorities, giving the
Cople free access to good music of timely
character and familiarizing them with the
national airs He also proposes PLAYS
founded on patriotic Incidents to be given
urder the ausnioes OF the government.
These IDEAS are well worth considering at
this end of tho century, when the thought
of how best to observe the greatest of all
the national holidays is abroad among the
people. In olden times there We're speeches.

of celebration are practically obsolete. cx-

simply as an opportunity to flee from the
ordinary cares of life and from the ex-
plCsive celebrations of the stay-at-hom as.
The patriotic societies form the nucleus
around which reform may be successfully
wrought Their plans of observance are
founded upon the right spirit and perhaps
some day in the near future the great
awakening will come when the younger
generation will learl the lesson that

The Port TObu<.cO I.ynel,in.

A less excusable lyEching ttan that
which occurred Saturday at Port Tobacco,
Md, can scarcely be imagined. There are
instances when lyEch-law is condoned on
the ground Of an overmastering public
necessity, and where the guilt of the VIC
tim Is beyond any possibility of question.
Such lynchings occur with too great fire.
quency in certain sections of the country
but 1t Is somewhat of shock to find a
lawless spirit so near at home and with
SO little shadow OF excuse or paIliation for
the deed. Cocking's guilt was at best only
presumptive. There was not even, it is
SAID, strong circumStantial case against
him.
II Is stated by residents of the COM
munity where the lynchng occurred that
the act was prompted partly by a desire TO
economize, to save the county the expense
OF a trial. especially with the result in
Coubt. If sucn were the motive it was a
mistaken IDEA, for the saving in mere dol
lars and cents that may have been effected
by this summary process of mob violence
will be more than counterbalanced in the
near future by the direct loss to the county
both in money and in popula ton. for such
deeds of lawlessnesS not only discourage
immigration to the regions where they
full citizens to seek homes in other and
more law-abiding localities.
Usually mob law has it's origin in the
intense desire for immediate vengeance
that follows the commission of q brutal
crime.
Sucn ebullitions Of temper are most fire.
Quent at the frontiers where violence is
frequent and courts are difficult of access
But in this Gay there is no reason for a
lynching in any state of the Union on the
ground OF the lack OF the laws machinery
and especially is 1t to be depiored when
it occurs almost within the shadow of the
dome of the Capitol in the midst of an or
dlnariiy laW-abiuinS community that is
supposed to be p1 divided with all the mod
ern judicial safeguards. Had Joseph Cock
ing been caught Ieu-handed without the
least possibility of doubt as to his guilt,
immediate lynChirg would have been bad
enough, but now, with all the first feeling
OF rage cooled by time, with almost a to-
tai lack OF material evidence to fasten the
guilt upon him, for taxpayers on the plea
OF saving money TO set aside the forms OF
law and to kill is totally indefensible.

being followed up. They have had the
field all to themselves, and how well they
have cultivated 1t appears on the face of
things today. The republican states of Col
orado and Idaho, and the democratic states
of Mississippi and Alabama are alike under
contest Of the silver movement fosterel
by these men. and this Is but a sample Of
the success they have achieved. 1t is now
acknowledged that it will take the hardest
kind of an effort to undo what these
''dreamers' have done.
There is NJ open confession of 1t, but
1t is fact all the same that the republic
can leaders have been greatly surprised
and disappointed at the helplessness of the
administration. They had high hopes of
. the ability of both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Carlisle to control certain of the old DEM
ocratic stronghclds and make free silver
impossible there. They had seen Mr.. Car
Isle go into Kentucky last year and control
the silver tide and write a state platform.
and they entertained no doubt of his ca
year. But not only ha 'e the President
and the Secretary of the Treasury been
helpless, but the President, because of the
third term suggestion, has been a load for
the sound money men to carry. Mr.. Brice
and others have openly complained of 1t.
SO that, now that the issue is about joined,
the republicans find themselves with a good
deal of unexpected work On their hands.
Still, serious as the outlook Is today in
some OF its phases, the republicans conf
IDENTIFY believe that they will win the race.
Not only do they think that the people
Will be convinced before election CT the
inevitable national disasters to result from
silver monomet allism, but as the campaign
lengthens they expect it to take on new
features. Silver cannot always monopo-
lie the field. Other questions must come
in for consideration, and the tariff above
all others. MIR. MCKinley's short addresses
to the visiting delegations of his old neigh
bors are quoted to show that he is de-
termined to that the tariff gets its
dae- Then, as election day approaches, on
the one side Will be marshaled the friends
OF sound money and protection and estab-
hshed order and the national credit, and
OH the other side not only the friends Of
free silver, but men of extreme views on
all questions. The country having to
choose between the two, the faith of the
republicans is that it will choose them
The other side Will represent too much
discomfort on TOO great q variety of sub
Jects. Free silver will simply be one fea-
ture Oh general revolutionary order of
things threatened.
