COAL RECEIPTS ALMOST STOP 4
Scarcely Any Bituminous Coal Coming to
Head of Lakes. Price of Wood
Should Advance. d Milf
rom the Duluth Ncws-Tribune.


From the Duluth News-Tribune.
Most of the head OF the lakes coal
companies are said to be out Of
Hooking Valley coal. This variety
ia used quite extensively in the prairie
country for domestic purposes.
There is very little bituminous coal
arriving at the head of the lakes.
What little there Is coming is prin-
cipally anthracite.
While there is still time and lake
rate conditions are more favorable
than for months past, there seems
to be no probability to;cover even a
fair share OF the shortage. The rail
roads are pretty we'll provided for in
respect to steam coal.
A story is told of certain North
western manufacturing institution
that illustrates the demand for soft
coal. The manager of the company
one day this fall bought 10 cars OF
soft coal at 1876 ton. The next
day he bought 20 cars at 1926 a ttol
and q few days later he bought Il
cars at about IS a ton.

Losheider Discharged.

Justice Sheldon gave his decision
Wednesday in the case of the state VS..
Peter Losheider tried before him last
Saturday. Locheider was charged
with assault. The complainantwas
Mrs: Jos. LANCER, of Pierz, who
claimed that the defendant beat her.
The row occurred on the farm of
Jos Losheider, which had been
rented by the defendant. In a dis
pute over a division of the crop OF
potatoes Losheider claims that Mrs.
LANCER attacked him, slapping his
face and holding him by the coat and
shaking him as violently as she
could. Her husband also threatened
to strike him with a fork. The de-
fendapt claims, in order to defend
himself from the attack Of Mr..
LANCER, he pulled Mrs. LANCER aside.
Mrs. LANCER had a black eye, which
she claimed was the result of a blow
by Losheider. A witnessed testified
that MRS. LANCER had admitted to
her that it was her husband who
gave her the black eye. The testi-
mony was very conflicting and it
was far from being clearly proven
that the defendant was the person
who committed the assault, SO JUS
tice Sheldon discharged Losheider.

MCKINLEY WELL PLEASED.
The Minneapolis Journal cor,
respondent in Washington sends
the following:
Mckinley is said to be sa It's
he'd with yesterdays returns
and to regard the administration
as being Endorsed in all states
where national issues were not
clouded by local strife and dis
organization. This means that
he regards the results in Iowa
and Massachusetts as indicating
what the people really think.
In Ohio he claimed all along
the election of Nash, but it did
not appear that he looked for as
large a plurality as Hanna. who
had his heart set on $4,000.
Mckinley, since the administra-
ton has not declared officially
for expansion, is said so ascribe
yesterdays good result in part
to prosperity, which is now
widespread. He figures that
the prosperity will be as great
next year as now, which will
make the people conservative
and slow to take up new and
strange political destinies.
Prosperity and expansion. he
claims, go hand in hand. Ex-
pansion means larger markets,
and larger markets means con-
tinued prosperity. He puts the
two together and thinks they
will sweep the country like a
next year. It is
as bearing out his views,
that in rural Ohio, among the
farmers, whose condition is now
much better than for years, the
Republican party this year,,
despite Hanna and other handi-
caps, showed enormous gains.

One of the most pleasing re-

One of the most pleasing re-
suits of the elections Tuesday
was the large Republican ma
iority given in South Dakota.
It indicates that Populism has
finally lost it's hold in that state.
The returns from Kansas showed
large Republican gains, and
Iowa was almost unanimous
Republican. While Nebraska
again went Democratic, the
Republican successes in the
above states to the north, south
and east, show that the West
ern farmers are returning to the
Republican party. Local feel
ing undoubtedly gave the fusion
candidates the victory in
Nebraska, as to have elected
the Republican ticket would
have discredited Bryan all over
the country. He made a vigor
Gus appeal for party success in
Nebraska, and a public man
never needed local help more.
But Republican successes in all
other parts Of the West indicate
the absolute certainty of
Bryan's defeat next year at the
polls. McKinley's administra-
ton has weakened Republican,
ism nowhere, and has strength
ened it in the Mississippi valley
and on the Pacific coast.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
ERS.

The Democratic caucus tonight will
select three Railroad Commissioners.
Upon the selection of the right men
depends more than the selection of all
the other men chosen by this General
Assembly. They have in their hands
the regulation of 3.477.95 miles of rail
roads which cost SS7, 000,0 00-the most
important trust that could be commit
ted to the hands of any men. 1t Will
be their duty on the one hand to pro-
feet the owners of the railroads in all
their rights and to assess their property
for taxation at just valuation. and on
the other hand to see that the rail
roads do not charge excessive rates, do
not discriminate in rates between citi-
zens. and obey the laws of the State.
The caucus ought to look to it that
they select the fttest men in the State
to this important position. When the
Commission was organized. lawyer,

there is no difficulty at all in selecting

same rule that obtained when the Com
mission was organized.
Before this Legislature many ques-
lions have demanded attention and con-
sumed time which would not have re-
qliired the time of the General Assembly
il the Railroad Commission had per-
formed its duty. If the majority of the
Commission had voted with Mr.. John
H Pearson, the only Democrat on the
present board, the worry and long drawn
out discussion on the separate car bill
would have been unnecessary. The
same is true of the proposition to tax
railroads. 1t is an Injustice to tax the
people OF the State upon Inree-IOuf1n
value Of their property and let>the rail-
roads pay a tax of only d little more
than third upon fbeir sworn valuation.
The Railroad Commission has power to
tax them on the real valuation, and
it ought to have been done without the
necessity of a legislative mandate.
Men who are chosen to this respon-
sible office ought to be- men of such
ability and character that their decis-
ions would be received with respect and
confidence by the entire State. In
many respects, fhe Commissioners duty
require more. ability than a position
