s. fcc ba that
the coal roads in PENNSYLVANIA own and
operate coal mines. not merely in de-
1iance of the statutes Of Pennsylvania,
but of an explicit and emphatic clause
Of the Constitution Of that State which
1orblds a railroad to operate coal mine
We should like to know the facts. If
the statement is true the authorities of
Pennsylvania are towards and traitors to
let this Iawlessness go on for an hour
longer If the constitutional and stata-
tory law of the State is being violated
every day, why? We are puzzled to
know.

1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. There will be a better demand for
long time to come for soft coal and the
coal fields Of Virginia will get the bene-
fit. In noting the fact the Baltimore
American says:
1.-THE coal magnates in Maryland and
West Virginia are now making the best
use Of their opportunity, and giving an
impetus to their trade which will be
permanent They have only to keep on
supplying the public promptly at reason
able prices, and a large part of the mar
ket hitherto monopoliZed by hard coal
will be theirs. OF course. numbers Of
people will go back to hard coal when
they can get it at reasonable prices, but
q great number will continue to use soft
coal and the latter will increase an
nualy.
This means a great addition to the
natural wealth OF Virginia.
