The Engineering and Mining JourRal
reports that the anthracite coal trade
has been dull the past week, and that
even under the restriction in output it
is necessary to stock up some Of the
coal that is being mined, Prices, while
not up to the circular, are being held
firmly at the same allowance as for some
time past, and there seems little likeli-
hood that they will be changed, The
New England consuming territory is not
taking much coal, the New York harbor
trade being the most active at present.

Gov. Altgeld's Address.

Ofall the Labor Day addresses
the most significant was that made
by Ex-Governor Altgeld, of Illinois.
under the auspices of the United
Labor League of this city. Cover
nor Altgeld cut to the root of the
evils that hinder the advancement
OF our labOring classes and in doin o

the Democratic party. Recogniz-
ing that our railroads are corrupt

that the cliques controlling the rail
roads are interested in, and those
industries willing to pay tribute to
such cliques, while discriminating
against others, thus making SUCH "a
thing as equality ofopportuuity an
unknown quantity in industries de-
pendent upon the railroads for trans
portatioiG recognizing moreover
that our railroads are grossly over
capitalized and that they tax those
using the roads in the shape of un-
due transportation charges in or
der to pay interest on much of this
over-capitalization, and seeing no
remedy for these evils others than
government ownership, Governor
Altgeld boldly advocated such own
ership. Thus he went in advance
of his party, and when he further
urged government ownership of tel
egraphs and declared his belief in
the referendum he put himself on
the grounds of the populist rather
than the Democratic party.
Governor Altgeld is one of those
noble men decried because of their
uprightness, who has the courage
to stand by his convictions what
ever may be the cost, one of those
men ready to sacrafice self for prin

Something About Fusion.

1t strikes us that great many
of our esteemed friends and CO.
workers are devoting a good deal
more time to the question of fu-
sion than they are to the princi-
pies OF the Peoples party.
The last Year has been a remark
ably favorable time for sowing the
seed and spreading the light of
Populism. During the last cam
paign the money question was dis
cussed as it never has been before
in this country. People became
thoroughly aroused upon the sub
lect. and were ready to continue
investigation. T h opportunity
should have been improved to SOW
broadcast the seeds of currency re-
form. We fear too many of the
old wheel-horses became excited
over the subject OF fusion so that
they neglected the more essential
work Of education.
We do not believe that there is
any possibility of fusion in 1900.
1t is phantom of the past, and
waste Of time and energy to fight it.
Let us take up the work of agi-
tation and organization, and to the
millions of populist voters already
enrolled add q million new recruits
for the great congressional cam
paign of 1898.
We take this view Of the case in
spite of the fact that there are rath-
er hot fights on in the States of To-
wa and Ohio this year concerning
this very question Of fusion. And
in Ohio particularly there are some
ugly disclosures. Those who fav-
or fusion with the Democrats are
accused of being out for the spoils
of office; while men who are fight
ing fusion and supporting straight
tickets are accused of accepting
Hanna money. There is no doubt
truth in both accusations; and yet
there are honest and sincere men
in both movements--those affiliat-
ing with the Democrats and those
who are supporting the straight
fight.
As a matter Of fact, the question
of fusion should never have been
raised. That is to say, it should
never have been thought of, sug-
gested or tolerated under any cir
cumstances. for a single moment.
1t should have been considered as
impossible RS to surrender the or
ganization Of the Peoples party it
self. 1t should have been straight |
rniddle-of -the-road fight from start |
to finish.
There is but one safe road for a |
new party. and that is to nail its
banner to the masthead and stand
by it through sunshine and storm
to the bitter n d. I h e victory
should not be question of votes,
but principles.
But no fusion FIGHT should be |
an honest fight. 1t should be
made for the sake Of principles and
not for the sake of either the Dem
ocratic or Republican parties.
Open utilization with either par
ty is more honorable than covert |
through a pretended mid
dle-of- -the-road fight. IS. T. Nor.

Anna uith Lndies, nIaid..

A naturalist has been making obser.
vations on the toilets of ants, and has
discovered that each insect goes
through a cleaning process as elaborate
as that of a cat, only not performed by
herself, but by another, who acts for
the time being as lady's maid. Ants of
the genus "atta" were the subject of
these observations. These, he found,
slept in relays for about three hours.
When they woke up they would stretch
their limbs just like warm-blooded ami
mails; even, under the microscope, he
could watch them yawn. Then begins
the toilet. The assistant starts by
washing the face of her companion,
and goes on to the thorax and legs.
The attitude of the cleansed is one
of intense satisfaction, resembling that
of a dog or cat when his head is being
scratched. She lies down with all her
limbs stretched loosely out; she rolls
over on her side, even her back, per
feet picture of ease. The pleasure the
creature takes in being thus combed
and sponged is really enjoyable to the
observer.-N. Y. World.
