Coal to Go Higher.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE price
# coal in Pittsburg and vicinity will
20 advanced from 95 to so per cent,
lating from April 1. The many rumors
10 this effect were confirmed by Colonel
N. P, Rend, the millionaire operator
VI Chicago and prominent stakeholder
n the local coal combine. He says the
.dvance is brought about, first, by the
'dvance in wages to miners; second,
~ what he considers the ridiculously
ow prices which have always prevailed
here. The Colonel says also that the
oal famine in the East and in Europe
cakes it hard for operators East and

Iron Prsssrr.d from Itnr..

The natives OF Natal latoly noticed,
In gathering q certain kind of rubber
pitch (Surphorblum), used for medici-
nal purposes, that knives used In cut
ting the plants were impervious TO
rust Tho knives were covered with
a thin, tenacious coating which pro-
tected them against oxidation. The
authorities took the matter In hand,
ana found that iron and steel coated
with this substance and immersed In
sea water for two years showed no
signs OF rust. II was also discovered
that this material protects wood
against the ravages OF ants, which are
one of the worst enemies OF civilIza-

The following extracts from a letter
written to Mr., Benz, Davies, Canadian
government agent at st. Paul, MINI,
give An excellent Idea OF what Ia said
OF Western Canada by those who have
gone there during tho past two or three
years.
When we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near
Dalesboro, ASA, for a short time we
had a At OF the blues but now all
hands are settled to business, hale,
hearty and contented enjoying the
finest winter We have ever seen, We
have got very comfortably situated,

crop, and all hopeful, think this 10
a very fine country, and II the past sea-
sons crop Ia not an exception, which
they claim not, believe this Is going
to be the wheat field of tho West, II
is filling up fast, In this township last
spring there were 25 quarter-sectlons
OF land vacant and today there Is not
one. can stand at my house and
count ten houses where there was not
one last spring, with six more to 90 up
this spring, This Is only a sample OF
what Ia going on all round We intend
TO build church next summer, right
close to my place, 80 we will be strictly
in line 1t would have amused you to
have been here last spring, There
were crowds OF land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie Is not
very Inviting, and OF course lots were
discontinued, There was one In the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
q letter In the paper, only for which
he never would have come here, and
he was very hostile, but eventually he
got place and today claims he would
not take a thousand dollars and move
out, 80 am glad he ls satisfied.
We'll, my dear sir, as Arthur Fin
ney Is about to move out in March
with his family, and also one OF my
sons, anything you can do for them to
assist them along and to make things
smooth as possible, will be greatly
appreciated by me. | will close for
this time, and will write from time to
time to let you know we are living. |

not relax their efforts for sound
money this fall on the ground that
the Senate at least is safely Rcpubli-
can and will be for four years, and
that, consequently, there can be no
danger of q repeal of the gold law.
On the contrary, Mr.. Babcock says
that Bryan victory this year would
probably give the Democrats control
of all branches Of the government by
the middle of the Bryan administra-
tion, aud might conceivably do so at
once. But a Bryan victory is only
possible by the apathy of the friends
OF gold. Those who know the de-
tails of the Congressional campaign
of 1898 well remember how difficult
it was to arouse Republican voters
and sound money men generally TO
the Importance of that contest.
Sound money had won q victory at
the polls two years before, but the
fruits Of that victory could not be
gathered because of an opposition
majority in the Senate. It was
known in 1898 that the sound money
men would control that body. but
there was grave danger that the
House would go Democratic. AS q
matter of fact, it was only saved by a
narrow margin by unexpected gains
in the west. No less than 25 districts
were turned over to the Democrats
in the six states of Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
This year carelessness and apathy
may turn back the House to the
Democrats and gravely imperil the
Senate. The battle of sound money
is not yet over by any means.

A Missourian's Sizeup of Hanna.

Missourian's Sizeup Of Hanna.
"Talk about lawyers warping facts
to fit their side," remarked q promi-
nent Trenton Republican, just back
from the Philadelphia convention, to
a local newspaper man a day or two
ago, "the most partisan special pleader
that ever lived couldn't hold candle
to the cartoonists who have perverted
the pictured features Of Mark Hanna.
The Republican chairman, instead of
having a phiz like Berkshire pig,
has features almost as delicate as
woman's. Instead of being gaudy
with diamonds and loud clothes,
Senator Hanna ia, on the contrary,
modest in dress, and in manner as
we'll. watched him both in conven-
ton and caucus, and was impressed
with his geniality and courtesy. He
seldom offered suggestion, but was
an interested listener to anyone who
had anything to say. When he did
make O suggestion it was not in q
dictatorial manner, but was plain
statement OF reasons whose force
struck every listener. He has in-
fiuence because, he has sense and
Judgement. There is nothing Of the
dictatorial boss about him. AS, q
speaker he is worthy Of his laurels.
He has none Of the gifts of DePew,
Dolliver, Wolcott, Foraker or Davis.
He makes no attempt at eloquence,
and does not resort to any Of tho
tricks of rhetoric or delivery. He
has full, round voice of good carry
ing power. He makes straightfor-
ward, business-like talk, trimfll of
good hard sense. People listen, not
because it is Hanna or because he is
saying something prettily, but be-
cause he is saying something worth
listening to. Delegates who had been
Influenced in spite of themselves by
the daily Misrepresentation by the
Democratic press were pleasantly
surprised to. find what q big-brained
wholesouled man the chairman of tho
national committee really is." &

We, the committee appointed by
the Taney County Institute now in
session, June 1900, feel called upon
to express our gratitude for the kind
ness extended to US by the people of
years shall have passed the hospi-
tality, kindness and associations of
friendship thus found, shall remain
as an oasis in our minds and hearts.
We wish to thank Prof. A. j. Hicks
for his painstaking, kindness and in
terest in our advancement along edu-
cational lines. Although the exa-
minstion has been severe it has been
conducted in such pleasant, gentle
manly manner by Prof. Hicks. aided
by his able assistant. Prof J. G. L.
Mcknight, we feel in duty bound to
thank them kindly for those favors
conferred upon us.
And now in meeting and parting
for the last time in the 10th century
for when we next shall have met in
our next Institute the Goth century
will have been ushered into existence.
Let each individual member of this
educational body in the Intervening
period work tor still higher ideals
and advancement along all educa-
tional lines aud thus further the diff
fusion of knowledge throughout our
county. We are heartily in favor of
the proposition entertained by Prof.
A. j. Hicks for the organization of
reading circles or club. In order to
increase our knowledge and cement
stronger bond of sympathy and
fellowship in the educators labor in
the field of thought and action, and
that the interchange of new ideas and
impressions thoroughly engendered
may produce greater uniformity of
procedure and still better methods
of school government than hereto
fore in vogue in the county. And by
this means q more expedicious me-
thod will have been found for the
diffusion of knowledge among our
pupils. The teachers life will be made
pleasanter by the association of
friendship and advancements thus
made in our circles or clubs and 1t is
our belief that those meetings would
become to the heart of the teacher,
as light suns rays in the horoscope of
life's happenings, hearts ease from
tho ardious and exacting duties OF
the school room.
Now in parting and dispensing over
the length and bounds of our county

Washington Letter.
(From our own Correspondent. y

AS bearing on the unfortunate
"Quigging" of the Republican nation
al platform, it is significant that the
Philadelphia press, owned aud edited
by G. H. Emory Smith. the Postmas-
ter General, has been printing series
of editorials based on the assumption
that the charge is true. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Smith is credited
with having prepared the platform
which was "Quigged," there can no
longer be any doubt on the subject.
The text of the platform which it was
intended to adopt has now been pub
lished in this city, and is not only
shorter but incomparably finer
document. Mr.. Quigg's gibe that it
was modified because it too much re-
sembled political essay is proved to
have no foundation in fact. The ex-
tract relating to Porto Rico, which
Mr.. Quigg cut out altogether, has
been widely commented upon because
of the singular felicity aud purity of
it's English, it being esteemed by
many as being as fine an example of
the capacity of the English tongue,
perfectly and beautifully to express a
profound thought, as has been fur
nished by any American statesman.
This, Mr.. Quigg asserts, was omitted
because the question it involved is
now pending in the Supreme Court.
Apparently this is incorrect. Ifthere
be case of that kind pending before
the Supreme Court, Mr. Quigg has a
monopoly of information respecting it.
| Wayne MacVeagh did commence pro-
ceedings which would have involved
determination of this question by
the Supreme Court, but the cases
were terminated through the action
of the Government in pardoning Mr..
MacVeagh's clients. The case of the
Porto Rican who was brought to
New York and detained under the
contract labor law would undoubt-
edly have reached the Supreme Court
had not the detained immigrant been
released by order Of the Secretary of
the Treasury. The case recently
brought before and decided by Judge
Townsend in which this question of
the extension OF the Constitution by
its own force over acquired territory,
cannot on appeal reach the Supreme
Court. The final determination oft,
if there be an appeal, would be in the
