that the persons responsible for the pub
lication cannot be criminally punished
Now, if the Secretary had looked beyond
his nose he would never have written that
sentence. There are laws in Cuba for the
punishment OF blackmail with which we
are charged, and for libel which is also
charged against us. If these charges can
be sustained why were We not criminally
punished according to law? That is the
question all fair minded people ask. 1t is
true we solicited advertisements from the

DEALS IN SOFT COAL LANDS.
Two Combinations Forming in West

Pittsburg, Pa. July 5.-George o.
Whitney, director in the new Mononga-
hela River coal combine. says the merging
of all the river coal interests is practi-
cally assured. The combine is to issue
capital stock amounting 10 $50 GOO and &c.,
coo, 900 in bonds.
70 The big combine of rail coal interests
of the Pittsburg district is believed by
those interested to be also in a fair way
OF being carried through. There is much
hard work yet for the promoters. The
capital stock of this enterprise is to be
$50. 600 0eo or more.
One OF the largest coal deals ever made
along the Monongahela River has just
been closed at Uniontown. The deal in
wolves anout 81, ,20e,00 cash and 10000
acres of coal. with a river frontage of

the Fayette side of the river last week

1000 acres on the Greene county side.

"whnt Is Aleerism.,

tFrom the New York Journal.)
An esteemed Republican contemporary which
only few months ago was plaintively asking:
''what is Agerismg' seems to have found what
it was looking for. 1t now gravely informs
Alger that the time for him to resign the Sec
retaryship of War has arrived
What accounts for this sudden radiance in the
rary? Alger is incompetent now than
he was during the war with Spain. He was an
active blunderer then. He is a passive incom-
petent now.
When returning soldiers were bringing stories
Of sickness and privation from the pest camps
of Cuba and the South, caused by the failure of
the War Department 10 supply them with proper
food and locate them in healthful quarters, our
suddenly awakened contemporary was shouting:
''What is Algerism?"
The shameful neglect of the men who were
fighting their country's battles; the letting of
contracts to favorites of the Administration, who
plundered the Government; the appointment Of
drunken, worthless 'sons of somebodies;" the
scandaous conduct Of the Commissary Depart
ment; the upholdng of blackguard Egan; the
advancement of the gross and incapable Shat.
ter; the whole miserable business of mismanag-
ing the war, sacrificing the troops and reward
ing personal and political friends without re-
gard to their capacity-that was "Algerism.'
The Republican press should have called for
the resignation of the Secretary Of War when
his official sins were thick upon him, instead of
waiting until his alliance with Governor Pin
gree seems to place him in an unfriendly atti-
tude toward the Administration.
However, if they can coax him, or frighten
him. or lash him into resignation, we will
forgive our alarmed Republican contemporaries
their inconsistency.

Paris. July 5.-Following is the text of

Castellane to the Prince of Monaco, in
Weighing against the proffer of a chateau
to Captain Dreyfus should that officer be
acquitted by the coming court-martial:
Monseigneur. you have just written a
letter to Mime. Dreyfus which has Iro-
yoked the Indignation of good Frenchmen,
not because you have addressed it 10 an
unfortunate woman-that sentiment would

Germ to Your Serene Highness.

think you can influence French officers in
the grave decision they are going to take,

More French Opera Bouffe.

We can imagine Jay Gould in that other
world today, plunking swear tunes on
his harp. in recognition of the frightfully
funny antics OF the beggarly Frenchman
with doubtful If not altogether spurious
title, who managed to marry a number Of
his millions. and is devoting them to va
rious excitements Of a dissipating nature
-Dreyfus batting included. Prince Albert,
of Monaco, having charitably offered Cap
tain Dreyfus the use of his French villa
in which to recuperate after the retriaI
at Rennes, this Gould monkey in law
writes to His Highness an insulting and
blackguard letter. in which an act of COM
mon humanity is denounced as interfer-
ence in French army affairs. Boni de Cas-
tellane suggests that the Prince may be re-
lated to Dreyfus by marriage, forgetting
that. If he himself should ever become an
ancestor under his present coverture. his
descendants will probably inherit not only

1t is the educational institutions Of the
land which must furnish the facility for
the preparation.
AS the professions are already becom-
ing oyercrowded, many an adventurous
youth viii turn with longing to this new
theatre of national effort, where he can
work and also attain.
How grand the era whose heroics are
deeds of beneficence. whose glory is indi-
vidual happiness! Then man shall not as
ROW spend wealth of intellect and heri-
tage OF will in overcoming other men, but
IN helping them. He shall have nature
alone to contend with. and nature surely
will never allow his energy to rust in the
sheath CT inaction.
Then for the first time. indeed, shall
exist an untrammeled evolution. The
contemplation of the possibilities of the
human sonl under such favorable condi-
tions almost staggers the Imagination, and
QuIckens the desire to see something Of
the reality.
Let u.s. as exponents of new truths and
heralds Of new era, be true to ourselves
and to our destiny. and our fond ideal will
become transcendent reality"

Detroit, Mich, July 5--An the princi-
pal railroads running into this city, in
Guiding the Wabash. New York Central
and Trunk, have begun injunction pro-
ceedings in the courts here to prevent
ticket sealping during the Christian En-
deayor convention, naming as defendants
six prominent city ticket brokers.
Judge Swan, in the United States cir
cult court, issued in each case tempo
rary restraining order enjoining defen-
dants from buying or selling any OF the
special Christian Endeavor excursion
tickets, and fixed July 10, the closing day
of the convention, as the date for the ar
gument upon bills for permanent injunc-
tion. In the county court bills to the
same effect have been filed on behalf OF
the Michigan Central, Chicago and Grand
Trunk Flint and Pere Marquette, and De-
troit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee roads.
Judge Lillibridge also granted tempo
rary injunctions, and will hear arguments

The ticket brokers have retained counsel,
and at tomorrow's hearing will quote a
decision of the Texas Court of Appeals to
the effect that the anti-scalping law in
that State is unconstitutional.

pressing sympathy with President Kruger
in the pending struggle in the Transvaal
were adopted.
The most interesting incident of the
evening came at the beginning of Senator.
Mason's speech and 1t was not on the pro-
gramme- The Senator had spoken about
ten words OF very formal opening when
some one shouted. How about that flag

formalities like a hot cake and shouted

predicted that next year all political par

Prehistoric Ruins I'm Kansas.

Before the recent meeting of the Kansas State
Historical Society W. S. Williston, professor of
geology in the Kansas State University, read an
exceedingly interesting paper on some ancient and
prehistoric ruins found in Western Kansas. Prof
Williston's attention first attracted to these
ruins in 1874. and several occasions since he
has dug in them, and gathered such relics as
might tend to throw some light on their
history.
The ruins are those of buildings constructed OF
stones and prairie sod. and their location is in
the valley of Beaver Creek, Scott county, some
ten miles north of Scott City. When found the
ruins presented the appearance of earth mounds,
thickiy covered by buffalo grass, and, while the
mounds had long been known to hunters and set
tiers, no one had an idea that they covered the
site of an ancient town until a prairie dog, in
digging his hole in one Of the mounds, brought
to the surface some grains OF corn and some
pieces of pottery.

q Chilly Poem,


The shivering and biue-nosed William
Winter has been expressing himself once
more, this time in verse. If these things
continue there are people who will begin to
consider applying for an injunction against
Mr.. Winter. Every man has a right to his
own personality, but if that personality is
mostly made up of fog and east wind there
may be some doubt as TO his right to in
flict it on the sensitive and susceptible
public, even in summer. 1t might cause
an epidemic of influenza.
The verses of Mr. Winter are supposed
10 be written beneath the midnight moon
of May" and one of the lines informs us
that 'one crescent jets the land" This
sounds like sentence strayed from the
latest preparation of Stephen Crane, and
the average reader will put it down, along
with the chatter of the death demon from
the tree top, as one of those things which
no person can understand. Then we are
informed that the world is dead, and that
the black ships are shaking their ghostly
tresses.
1t may be that New York City is dead,
or can put on the appearance of being SO,
even beneath the midnight moon of May,
but it is hardly probable AS a general
thing. midnight at that time of year is
the hour when youths and maidens, COM
ing back from the Amalgamated Pie Ba-
kers' annual picnic, linger on the wharves
to tell each other important things, and
they cannot in any way be mistaken for
ghosts. Nor has it generally been sup
posed that the ships In New York Harbor
are decorated with tresses of any kind.
Then We come to this stanza, which. for
real lonesomeness and wailing unhappi-
ness, surpasses anything by Poe or Byron:
Beneath night no longer May,
Where only cold stars shine,
One glimmering ocean spreads away
This haunted life of mine;
And shattered the frozen shore,
My heart can never wake
When will this night of death be Ger?
When Will the morning break?
1t may be that the trouble with Mr. Win
ter is that he is haunted, and that is what
has been the matter with him in the past.
He may be haunted by his own shadows of
the stage, for all that anyone knows. At
any rate, he says his life is a haunted
ocean, and he ought to know. He also
says that his heart is shattered on a
frozen shore"-an uncomfortable condition
for that anatomical organ to be in, surely
and that it will never wake" Probably
not
TO recapitulate: Mr.. Winters life is a
glimmering ocean which washes a frozen
shore. and his heaf has been broken into
bits by that shore and is in eomatose
condition. No wonder he is sorrowful. As
the illustrious Connecticut Yankee, Hank
Morgan, surnemed The Boss. might have
remarked, you could hardly expect man
