thing for Sir Michael Hicks Beach to
admit that a deficit of at least ESQ, 900, :
600 must be provided Tor by parliament,
with the war still unfinished This is
the estimate made on the Liberal side
without official information but unless
the increases from the various sources
of revenue are larger than anybody has
ventured to forecast the figures are not
likely to be reduced in the budget speech.
The total cost of the Boer war has been
concealed by various devices, but it will
exceed 4130,000.000
A prominent Liberal has asserted that
the aggregate would be over G140, ,0O0,-
600 If the accounts could be closed at
once. For this reason the supporters
of the government are not awaiting the
budget speech in a spirit of optimism.
The eject of that spsech will, however,
be less discoura ging if they can assert
that the bottom has been reached and
that tie. war has ended.

RIDE ROUGH SHOD
Protests of Organized LaborUn-
needed by House.
Bill Opening Pemitentiary Coal
Mines to Wagons Passes.
GAW AND FRANCIS.
They Champion Objectionable
Measure on the Floor.
Both Say 1t viii Help the
Farmers.

Unheeding the protest of free. organ
lied labor and over the heads of its come
mittee on state affairs, the house this
morning by a vote of 81 to 80 passed the
bill opening up the penitentiary coal
mines to the wagon trade. There was a
stiff fight put up over the passage of the
bill By representatives and friends of
organized labor All the vicious points
of the bill were brought out in the dis
cussion, but without avail. The putting
of convict labor in competition with free
labor is the kernel of the whole thing.
and it Is expected that the senate will
give this grave question more serious
consideration when the bill comes up
there.
In 1895. when all the free coal miners
Of the state were On strike, and the sale
Of coal to the wagon trade by the state
was allowable b. law. the coal COM
panies sent hundreds of wagons to the
penitentiary rlire and hauled coal away
in wagon trains drawn by traction en-
gines. 1t is little wonder that organized
labor protests against sucn a blow to its
interests.
In beginning the discussion upon the
bill Mr.. Cav explained the purpose of
the act When the neople OF Lansing
ceded the land to the state to mine the
coal, they were given the right to pur-
chase coal at the shaft by the wagon
load at the same price as sold to con-
tractors. In 1897 the general sale was
stopped and in 1899 the wagon trade was
stopped. Mr.. Cav held that injustice
was being done to farmers in not allow
ing them to get cheap coal after they
Rad donated the coal under the land to
the state.
John Francis, of Allen, affirmed Mr..
GaW's statements and added that the
farmers had suffered inconvenience ever
since the closing of the mine to them in
1899, because Immediately on its closing
the price of coal went up. Babb. of
once, telling the house that the gentle-
man from Alien mad just put up the
strongest kind Of an argument for state
ownership and control of all coal mines.
Markart, of Ieayenworth. opposed the
bill. He said his district held LOO free
miners and every one objected to open
ing the convict operated mines to local
trade in competition to their own bread
and butter. SeatOn, of AtchiSOn rela ted
how the state had just gone into the
coal mining business % years ago; that
it had contracted with the farmers TO
give this privilege in return for the coal
and should hold to its obligations.
Willis, of Wilson, called attention to
the fact that coal has gone up in price
everywhere IN the last two years, and
not because the penitcntiary mines were
closed to local trade.
Stavely, of Usage, made the chif points
against the bill He said it was not for
the special benefit of the farmers. No
body who donated lard is here demand
ing it. The committee on state affairs
