The Coal Trade Journal says: with
the expansion of the area OF our country
must come an expansion of trade OF all
kinds, descriptions and nature. Not a
wheel can be turned in this direction
without the use of coal and it is but
natural to expect that there will be a
growth in the coal trade of those pro-
ducing states having an outlet to the
seacoast. 1t is the policy of the Gov
ernment that our coaling stations shall
be supplied with the production Of
mines In the United States rather than
purchase abroad other coal; this can be
done and is being done as our coal is
being sold at 30 low price at tide that
II c0mpetes favorably as to cost with
that mined elsewhere in the world.
There has already been an expansion Of
our foreign trade In coal owing to these
conditions, and it is hoped that having
once achieved 1t, 1t may continue with
US and increase. Especially with the
Vest Indies should we do more trade y

AS to the length of time the new war

AS to the length of time the new war
revenue tax will continue to be collect
ed after the conclusion OF the war, a
government official says: 1T is impos-
sible to answer any such question. The
law was passed by Congress and it must
be repealed by Congress. The present
Congress will certainly not repeal it and
it is probable that the law with refer
ence to the war tax will stand for at least
five years. or course, it would hardly
look well for me TO say what the United
States government will do or is likely
to do, but this is my personal opinion,
One thing is certain, and that is that
the expenses of this war are to be paid,
and we have not paid ofR all the debt OF
our previous war. and it not at all like
by that the war tax law will be repealed
until some of this debt is cancelled, and
that will take some time even with the
increased tax and any indemnity the
government could receive from Spain.

A FREQUENT CITIZEN.
John BeCk's Numerous RenunCia-
 lions of Queen Victoria.

John Beck, the new special officer at the block, says he has been made an American citizen more times than he has fingers and toes, and that he was never any other kind Of citizen. Every time he has been elected or ap- pointed to any office he has been dragged into court and compelled to renounce allegiance to Queen Victoria, whom he never saw and to whom he never bound himself in any way.
 His remuneration of the queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India have been so frequent and numerous as to becoms monotonous, SO that hereafter he desires torenounce the sultan, czar or some other pcten- tate.
 MT. Beck's relation to the United States is peculiar. He is a native of England, but came to this country when he was seven years old, with his mother, who was a widow. She soon after marriedan American citizen. Mrs. Beck's position was afterward decided to be that of an American citizen, when she made application to make homestead entry near Phoenix-' It was held that she had acquired the right of citizenship by her marriage. John Beck was subsequently, declared by Judge Gooding to have become a citizen through his mother, and Judge Baker later arrived at the same con- clusion after a careful consultation CT authorities. In all cases which made these inquiries necessary John Beck declared anew that he wanted to be a citizen of the United States.
 Since his recent appointment the question was raised again, and yester- day again he was formally admitted to citizenship He believes this settles it and that now he is eligible to any of- flee within the gift of the people ex- cept that of president, vice-president, president of the senate or any position in line with the presidency. It is not certain that by reason of his mothers s citizenship that the presidency itself is not open to him. But this latter ques- tion will not be raised until the proper time comes.
