somewhat easier, owing to improved car
supply at the mines. That car supply should
improve when the anthracite miners strike
was called off seems very peculiar. 1t has
been suggested that this is because certain
railroads tried to restrict shipments Of soft
coal during the strike. fearing permanent
loss of anthracite tonnage. AT any rate,
bituminOus producers are now getting very
nearly the whole number of cars they call
for.
Consumers have little trouble in all of the
lower grades of coal they need, aud the
higher grades are in better supply.
In the far East there is still considerable
demand. The shoal water ports are getting
the coal they want as fast as producers can
give it to them. East winds, however, have
kept a large number of shoal water port
vessels back, thus restricting receipts by con-
sumers to marked degree. Along Long
Island Sound trade is still large, though much
easier, even for the better grades. The de-
mand for coal still exceeds the amount re-
ceived by consumers. New York Harbor
trade is now in pretty easy condition and
consumers seem to have fair supplies on
hand, though educated by past experiences
to giving timely notice of wants. All-rail
trade is taking large amount of coal, but
this trade, too, is easy. There is little inquiry
from abroad, buyers having apparently made
connections on this side. Export shipments
are fairly regular.
Transportation from mines to tide is good
on the Pennsylvania, poor on the Baltimore
and Ohio and fair on the Chesapeake and
Ohio and Norfolk and Western. Car supply
at the colerieS runs up to 90 per cent. Of the
demand. In the coastwise vessel market,
adverse winds have kept many vessels from
reporting at receiving ports. Large vessels

NOVEMBER 3, 1900
Bryan.

The Baltimore SIM pays eloquent trib-
ute to Mr.. Bryan's character and ability
as these were exhibited during the
greatest and most trying campaign ever
waged by presidential nominee.
1t is fully deserved.
Weakened only by evaSiveness upon
one issue, that not only subordinate
but practically dead, he deported
himself throughout the long and try
ing ordeal as a model of consistent
and gentle craftsmanship, and by ack-
nowledgment wellnigh universal his
failure is an answer only to the one i'll
vitation he unfortunately extended to
defeat. In all else he was invulnerable
and invincible.
Whether, therefore, he will survive
politically or not, his campaign will be
prolific of good to both those whom he
sought TO serve and those who come
after. For these he furnished the
vocabulary of popular rights with col
lection of sayings that will enrich heroic
diction when and wherever the gospel of
human liberty is preached.
Equal Chances and Fair Play"
When he was civil service reformer
Gov. Roosevelt said
The merit system is in its essence as demo
cratic as our commOn-school syst"m, for it
simply means equal chances and fair play for
all.
1t has always been hello by promoters
of the common-schOol system that one
of its obiccts-if not its prime object. is
the fitting of the young for obedience to
government. mot only so" said one
of the projectors of the Boston Latin
School over two hundred years ago,
"but it prepares the yonge mindc for i'll
telligent administration of good govern
ment.'
Gov R0osevelt'S idea holds better be-
fore than after cducation-that all should
enjoy "cqual chances and fair play to
obtain scholastic training, rather than
that afterwa1d the public's expenditure
of money therefor should be lost i'll the
equal chances then given to the il
literate to hold the peoples offices.
