A Noteworthy Combination.

The consolidation of The Chicago
Record and The Chicago Times Herald
was one of the most important events in
the history of modern metropolitan
journalism. People familiar with the
newspapers published in the great capt.
tails of the world say that the best daily
papers are made in Chicago, and it is
well known that The Chicago Record
and The Chicago Times Herald ranked
at the very front among Chicago's best
dailies. Each covered the worlds news
every day and each possessed also dis
tinctive special features giving it that
individuality so attractive to its readers.
Now that the two have been combined,
all the resources and worldwide facili-
tiles of both papers are united in The
Chicago Record Herald. 1t is in truth a
"great combination"-a combination
without parallel in American journalism.
The fortunate readers of The Chicago
Record and The Chicago Times Herald
now receive every day newspaper
whose news facilities are unequaled by
any other American newspaper.

Food and Fuel for the World

Chicago Record Herald: To supply
food and fuel for the human family in
every cline appears TO be the CONNER
cial destiny of this country.
The agitation in England in favor Of
an export tax of one shilling ton on
English coal has called public attention
in this country to some very interesting
disclosures recently made by the treasury
bureau of statistics concerning the rapid
invasion of the markets of the world by
American coal. In 1885 the exports OF
coal from the United States amounted to
only 1,272 900 tons, while in 1900 the to-
tai exports mounted up to 7, ,ISS, 900 tons.
The figures Of the treasury bureau indi-
cate that the coal exports for this fiscal
year, ending June 30, will be not less
than 100000 tons.
The fuel problem in Europe is becom-
ing the most serious economic question
that engages the attention of the manu-
facturers and producers as we'll as the
concern of the various governments, The
United Kingdom has been the greatest
exporter of coal for century and more.
British ships still carry the bulk Of the
worlds commerce in coal, her total ex-
ports last year aggregating is, lOS,O11
tons, while that Of Germany, the second
great coal exporting nation of the world,
reached a total Of 15,276,000 tons.
While the United Kingdom and Ger
many have led in the exports of coal, the
coal producing area of the United States
is many times greater than that of any
other country on the globe. In coal pro-
Guction the United States has also taken
front rank within the last two years, her
production in 1899 being 226, ,553, ,564 tons
against 220, ,09l,78l tons for the United
Kingdom. In 1890 the coal production
OF the United Kingdom exceeded that of
the United States by 100000 tons.
With such amazing growth in coal pro
duction and in exports. and with Euro
pean countries taking measures to check
the exports of coal, It'll but question of
time when the United States will be the
leading coal exporting nation of the
world

A Kansas editor says "the prevailing
color of black suggests nothing sweet,
or tender, or beautiful. 1t is not an en-
blcm of purity OF hope. 1t is a symbol
of night in the scriptures, and in all
literature is symbol Of danger and OF
despair. Night is the time when all
doors are bolted and windows fastened,
and when the signing of the wind and
the rustling of the leaves nettle the
nerves. The world needs no symbol Of
of mourning. Every soul knows its own
sorrows, and that is enough. But if the
world must have symbol of sorrow, let
it be white. White is the emblem of
purity, the symbol Of peace, the garb in
which the angels are supposed to be rob-
ed, the color Of the great throne around
which we like to think our loved ones
gathered. White is typical of the eternal
day which it gives us JOY to believe has
daYned upon them. And surely, if our
loved ones could break the silence of the
tomb, they would bid us remember them
ioyfully rather than sorrowfully."

THESudden shrinkage in the value
of stocks which had been forced up
to enormous prices by the most
reckless speculation the country has
ever seen, brought 90 terrible
panic in the New York Stock Ex-
change last week. Fortunes were
swept away, and thousands who had
invested smaller amounts were
caught in the terrible whirlpool of
speculation and carried to ruin in
less time than it takes to tell 1t, n
number OF them having invested
their money iegitimately only TO
become the victims of the pro
fsssional or amateur stock gamblers.
If some poor, one gallused fellow,
sets down and beats another out of
q few dollars at game of craps, he
is taken before magistrate and con.
victed of gambling and is made to
suffer the penalty of the law, but
the fellows in Wall street who
gamble in stocks, as in the reckless
folly Sbf the past few Weeks, driving
hundreds of innocent stock holders
TO ruin, are known as spectators,
and hey hardly stop long enough
to tel how it happened.
