The company will also do its banking
in Newark. The three directors elect

WEST VIRGINIA COAL IS KING.

WEST VIRGINIA COAL Is hINU
The Register has already alluded at
length TO the grave apprehension or a
coal famine in Great Britain, the ex-
haustion of whose mines is predicted
in from ten to fifty years. Hence. 1t
is no wonder that Englishmen are
looking abroad for the most available
field whence must come their future
supply of this necessary fuel. And IN
looking over the whole wide world is
it a wonder that the best English
Judgment should settle upon the prod
net of our own West Virginia coal
fields as combining to the most attrac-
tive degree the elements of good quail
ity and cheapness?
In speaking of West Virginia coal
the London Statist says: Both for
bunker purposes and for. export it is
probable that the coal of West Virginia
is destined to take the lead. This State
has a far larger coal area than the
United Kingdom has and the seams
are so placed that practically all the
mining is done by the simple, easy and
economical method of working by
adits. 1t is that State that produces
the famous 'Pocahontas' coal, which
has been declared by some analysts to
be fully equal to the very best coal
produced in South WaIes-that is to
say, to the best in the world. About
5000, 900 tons per annum of this valu-
able coal are now being turned OUT
This is high testimony to the ex-
cellence of West Virginia's coal prod
uct, and from a most competent source.
1t has been amply demonstrated that it
is praise well merited.

New York World.
Giving Kitchener the power to hang
and pressing prosecutions for treason
can only mean that the British Gov
eminent is preparing to kill prisoners
of war. Doubtless the situation in the
South African colonies adjacent to the
republic is desperate. But such a meas
ure will surely a~ggravate the Cape and
Natal Dutch at the same time that it
shocks the entire civilized world and
justifes the armies of the republics IN
making reprisals in kind. Until the
news of this decision is confirmed by
the actual murder of prisoners OF war
civilization will refuse to believe That
it is anything more than a threat.

From which the only rational Infer
ence is that Gen. Otis has been running
a sort of brotherly love bureau-at an
inordinate expense to the country.
Some of his devices of mercy, as Hoo
witzers and machine guns, may have
been misunderstood. But the point is
that we have not really been trying to
whip Aguinaldo and capture him. but
only to be kind to him and conciliate
him. No doubt, as the Senator points
out. vigorous measures should be taken.
Probably we should now even go to
the extreme of employing firearms.

An, There, Governors.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
If the United States Senate sets the
precedent, by excluding Senator Clark,
of Montana, that the payment of money
to aid in an election is a disqualifying
cause, it might result in a bad attack
of brain fever, or remorse, on the part
of others that might be mentioned. 1t
is possible that Gov. Atkinson could
furnish some important testimony IN
that direction concerning a certain
Senatorial election when several At
kinson men did not vote for Atkinson.
And perhaps if he were put under oath
he might tell all that he knows, and
more particularly and to the point
much else that he has heard.

President Kruger, of the Transvaal,

but what he has uttered has proven
prophetic. At the outset he stated the
price England would have to pay for
subjugation of the South African re-

England has already paid has stunned
that nation. Now old Dom Paul has

financial public for such operations
and the readiness Of promoters to
crafty it.
And our contemporary calls atten-
ton to the evident fact that 1.-THE mar
kets have been given a task OF no Or
binary difficulty in digesting q a
of new values. 1t may be noted that
the New York Stock Exchange added
to its regular lists something like
$225, 900, 900 of industrial stocks, and
admitted to a quotation through its
unlisted department" about $525, 0O0,-
600 more of such values, or a nominal
total in new industrial shares of $780,
900, 1000"
The shady and uncertain character
of these securities is best evidenced
by the suspicion with which the money
market and the banks view these trust
bubbles and speculation and invest
ment in them, an attitude that is amply
justified by the tremendous figures rep
resented by the aggregated stocks of
these concerns. The figure they cut on
the New York Stock Exchange is
shown by the fact that of the total list
ing of bonds and stocks there in 1899
of 81, 1000, 900, $780, OO. 900 were in
dustrials. AS any strong movement in
the latter is bound to affect the whole
market for securities good and bad,
it will be seen that the apprehension
exhibited by the conservative element
regarding these industrials has ample
justification.
