THE COAL CONTRACT.

We hope II is not true that the United
States Government has contracted Win
q Cleveland (O.) firm for an enormous
supply OF steam coal, without giving the
southern miners an opportunity TO put
In a bid therefor.
IT is said the coal is be delivered at
Key West, and that It Is for our war
ships.
IL the government has done this thing
and has sighted the Virginia. West Vir-
ginia. Tennessee, Alabama. and other
southern coal producers. who are much
nearer Key West than any Ohio company
is. the impression created cannot but be
unfJ torable 1t will certainly give rise
to the suspicion of jobbery.
Let us hope that some explanation VIII
be forthcoming from Washington which
will assure the public that the case Is
not as has been stated and that neither
Mr. Hanna, nor any one else connected
with the administration, has taken adj
vantage Of the country's peril TO make
fat job for favored contractors Should
tho facts prove to be otherwise, they will
cause unspeakable disgust throughout the
land and chill many patriotic spirits. We
wait additional information, being I'M
willing to accept the unwelcome accusa-
ton and hoping to hear 1t is not true, rs
alleged, that southern contractors were
ignored In the transaction.
