The news of the misfortune that
has overtaken the United States cruis-
er Charleston off the coast of LuZon,
will occasion unusual regret in this
country owing to the peculiar manner
in which the sea fighter was associa-
ted with the earlier operations of the
United States in the far east archi-
pelago. long before conquest or i'm
perialism was seriously considered, at
a time when the nation stood as one
man against a foreign foe, and the
best the country possessed was none
too good to throw into the fray in be-
half of liberty and the union. The
Charleston was the first vessel to be
hurried from San Francisco to the aid
of Dewey after his memorable victory,
hence the first American vessel to
cross the broad waters of the Pacific
on any other than Il peace mission,
but trimmed TO fight. 1t was the
Charleston that hoisted the American
flag on the island of Guam of the La
drone group. taking the Spanish gar
risou there on to Manila with her
prisoners of war. Since reaching the
Asiatic fleet she has been one of the
most active and useful craft in connec-
ton with the command. 1t is indeed
to be hoped the consequences of the
accident that has overtakeu the

Results of the Coal Trust.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The coal trust is an infamy. Coal
is almost as essential to life as sun
shine, water or air. Were it posi-
BILE to make a trust of the last three
named things it would be made.
There are people who regret that sun
shine. air and water cannot be con-
trolled by trust. Is Mr.. Hanna one
of them? Next to the three articles
named comes coal. 1t is an absolute
necessity. 1t IS in a trust. One of
these days, in the near future, there
will be a severe reckoning. A cry
for justice will go up and it will be
heard. The heads of the trusts will
not he so high in the air. They will
he laid low. The law will reach them.
The preservation of the lives of the
people is above the enriching of men.
The cry of freezing babe will not
waste itself on the air. The SILVER
ing of a hungry mother will reach
even listless ears. Let the trusts
take heed.

CHEAPER THAN HORSES.
Experts Estimate of 1he Cost - OPP
Grating Heavy Motor Vehicles.

Grating Heavy Motor Vehicles.
Marshall IIalstead, American consul
at Birmingham, England. sends - the
state department at Washington a
stasament by +. ii. Bayley regarding
tbs question of cost of operating heavy
motor vehicles, which, he says, will
replace horse drawn wagons in the
near future. Mr.. Bayley, the consul
says, is entitled to speak with some
amount of authority. as he was chair
man of the London Road Car company,
and now, in addition TO employing
1000 or so horses in his own business,
is chairman of motor company.
"Of course" Mr.. Baylcy said, ''no
matter how excellent motor driven We
hicIes may be, no one would look at
them seriously if their use We're more
expensive than that of horses. That
is exactly where the ultimate success
of motor vehicles lies. for the tests by
the Automobile club at Richmond and
more recently those held by the Liver
pool Self Propelled Traffic association
have shown that not only can motors
do general carrying work more quick
ly and more efficiently than horses,
but, most telling point of all, do it at
less than one-seventh of the cost. For
instance, we have n car which has
been proved. under the tests already
mentioned. to be capable of carrying
n load OF > tons Il hundredweight.
at n cost for fuel which works out a
half penny per ton mile. The total
up keep of such vehicle when all ex-
penses for working. wages, fuel, re-
pairs, insurance. etc, are taken into
consideration, comes to a sum of ST.
$50. 13, and this, with a carrying ca
pacity for 2GO working days, gives an
average cost of n fraction under J
halfpence Is cents per net ton per
mile. When that is compared with
the cost of hOrses-my experience
teaches me that il varies from IS cents
to 81 cents per ton per mile-it can
be seen what n future such vehicles
have before them.'-New York Sun.
