west Virginia Coal.

West Virginia comes third in
coal production in the United
States, Pennsylvania being first
and Illinois second, though West
Virginia is pressing Illinois very
hard for second place. The total
coal output in West Virginia in
1899 was 100000 tons, OF three
times the production of the entire
South in 1880. In the Southern
States Alabama comes next to West
Virginia, with 100000 tons, fol
lowed by Maryland with 100000
and Kentucky, with 100000. In
all these states the production for
1900 will run far ahead of 1899
In view of the fact that there is an
increasing demand for coal far
greater than the present output,
and that this has grown steadily
from year to year, it is safe to pre-
dict that the Southern output of
100000 tons year will in 10
years be increased to 100000
tons.

The Diference.

When Democrats converse on
the probable success or defeat of
their party, or anything pertaining
to it, they do SO on the public high
ways, on street corners and other
public places. If two, three or
more Republicans desire to dis
ouss such matters they look them
selves in some private room, or go
under the river bank and crawl in
among the willows and there hold
converse in the lowest of whispers.
Fake notice and see if we are not
correct.

1t appears to be the fact that
President Mckinley will make his
headquarters in Canton during the
summer, and receive delegations as
he did in 1896. This is one of
many current evidences that the
party management estimates the
public in about the same way that
the humbug Snowman did. OF
course, Mr.. Hanna and his associ-
ates claim that they know their bus.
mess. Do they take into account
the difference between William
Mckinley in 1896 and William Mo
Kinley in 1900? Then he was a
candidate for first term. Now he
is candidate with an extremely
embarrassing record to defend.
Possibly the wordy speeches and
resolutions of the state convention
will be commended to him as mod
els for his remarks to the hired ex-
oursionists, but it may be reason
ably presumed that the people will
get tired of mere phrase-making
before the election.-Cincinnati

RennhlIcan Primnrx.

The Republican Primary held
here Saturday was spirited affair,
in which the coIored voter showed
up in strength sufficient to be re-
presented on about every delega-
ton. 1t was fight between the
bosses and the anti-ringsters, but
the bosses fooled the boys, and the
delegate slate as prepared by them
went through without break. At
one time, if the oolored men had
had a leader, they could have cap
tured the organization, as we'll as
to have sent full negro delegation
to all the conventions, but they al
lowed themselves to be euchered
and out-generaled.
Mr.. Joe Varian, Chairman of
the Central Committee, called the
convention to order, and named
Mr.. John l.. Written for Chairman,
and named Mr.. S. e. Dawson, edi-
tor of the Point Pleasant Observer,
as Secretary and Mr.. a. l.. Boggess

sunk in Germany, at Government
expense, to ascertain the thickness
of the coal measures, and also
whether other beds underlay those

ception of the borings on the Mo-

washington's Opinion ofTrusts.

Washington's Opinion of Trusts.
In 1778, General Westinghouse
army was not in very good con-
dition. It needed food and clothing,
in fact, the soldiers were in rags,
and their officers lived on the plain
est of food, principally roots. Con-
gross was struggling to supply him
and his army with the necessaries
of life, but it had trouble with
those who had the supplies, be-
cause they controlled the market
and were not disposed to let them
go without being paid their own
price. 1t was then that Washing
ton wrote Joseph Reed, president
of Congress, to the following effect:
at gives me sincere pleasure to
find that the Assembly of Pennsyl-
vania is SO we'll disposed to second
your endeavors in bringing those
murderers of our cause, the monop-
differs, forestallers and engrossers,
to condign punishment. 1t is much
to be lamented that each state long
ere this has not hunted them down
as pests to society and the greatest
enemies we have to the happiness
of America.
ST would to God that some one
of the most atrooious in each state
was hung in gibbets upon gallows
five times as high as the one pro-
posed by Haman,
mo punishment, in my opinion,
is too great for the man who builds
his greatness upon his country's
ruin"

Dun's review for the last week
says: "Formal reduction of $5 per
ton in prices of plates and bars and
closing of mills by the American
Steel and Wire company to avoid
reduction in prices have filled the
week with surprises So it ap-
pears that the enormous prices
that have prevailed and the run
ming of the mills was not altogether
on account of any great and per-
manent prosperity. The mills
have been idle for some time and
the production having been dis
posed OF, they started up some
months ago to meet the usual de-
mands of trade. But now they
have an overproduction again. In
order to maintain prices on a out of
So per ton, it is necessary to close
down the mills. Dun's Review
gives warning of further tumble
in prices when it adds: I'm the
stock market and in the market for
stoel and iron products changes
have begun, the end of which can
not we'll be foreseen."
