1t is the general understanding that
IN all this strike the mine owners did
not advance the price OF coal one cent.
The coal which has been sold was min
ed at the old rate and hauled at the
old rate. The price was therefore put
up by some middlemen, who took adj
vantage Of the necessities OF the people
10 add to the public distress. The New
York retail dealers will buy their coal,
II they deal direct with the mining
companies, at about the usual prices
which have prevailed In former wears,
and there win be, so far as the public
Is advised. no real occasion for the ad-
vance Of retail prices. In this city,
and doubtless IN New York and other
cities, many retail dealers have during
the strike been themselves the victims
Of other middlemen from whom they
bought temporary supplies. Nearly all
OF them have suffered severely from
the suspension Of their business during
the time when most Of their trade
comes.

"MORMONiSM AMI MYSTERY

The agitation that has arisen IN the
United States concerning the coanec-
ton between "Momonism' ana a
murder committed IN New York city,
has extended over the great ocean ard
stirred up some Of the English papees,
which appear TO, be In a sor, Of quaa'
dairy over this peculiar sensation. The
Manchester Evening Chronicle Of re-
cent date seems 10 be puzzled but de-
slrous of arriving at the truth. It
says:
"The Mormons are either the worst
and most dangerous Of fanatics, or the
most maligned.

being Of society. a source Of coutamn-
alton to the world. Yet their own claim

This does not fairly present the sltu-
ton. While Il is true that the Nor
mons are either dangerous fanatics or
very much maigncd. 1t is not true that
the Latter-dsy Saints arrogate saliva
ton 70 themselves alone, as that paper
avows. nor DO they make claims 70 I'M

worthy Of paradise. The doctrine OF
universal salvation is one Of the fea-

Nothing worse Is said Of the Latter'day
Saints than was current In the hrst
century. about the former-day Saints

The proper thing to do Is to hi9g to

THE LANSING SKULL.

The international congress Of Amerl-
canists, IN session at New York, has
viewed the so-called Lansing skull,
discovered in the beginning OF this
year In cave near Lansing, Kas.
The telegraphlc report states that Mr..
W, II, Holmes, of the u. S. museum.
took the view that, as the skull was
manifestly that of an Indian. and as
they could not be sure Of the period
from which It came, too much import
ance should not be attached TO the find.
The skeleton Of which that interest
ing skull is a part was found at the
end OF a tunnel cut in the side OF
ravine. It's age has been estimated
from 1900 TO 10000 years. The find
has been thought TO be Of great i'm
portance ON account of the definite
ness with which II was supposed that
its geological place can be estimated,
But, Nh, Holmes opinion seems TO be
contrary TO this. He says we cannot
be sure of the period to which It be-
long.
This Is undoubtedly the case with
many finds which scientists are eager
to quote az proofs Of the extremely
high antiquity Of man. There Ia some
times tendency TO prove too much
from the surroundings In which the
evidences Of mans existence are found.
When, for instance from certain finds
In France II is concluded that man
lived on this earth 100000 years ago, an
inference IS drawn from evidence that
cannot be regarded as conclusive.
But enough In proved from the finds
in American soil, TO warrant the state
ment that this the New World" il
really the "old World" and that is i'm
portant for 1t shows where to look for
the beginning OF civilization.
The Americanst congress now in ses-
sion is the thirteenth but II seems TO
be the first that convened IN this coun-
try. Its object is the study Of the ma
tive races OF America, their origin.
distribution, history, languages, etc,
ana the history OF early contracts be-
tween the two hemspheres. This is a
wide field for investigation and one
beset with exceedingly great difficulties.
But these can be overcome, and the re-
suits Of the research win amply repay
the work expended thereon.

ACCIDENTS AND THEIR CAUSES.

There have been several shocking ac-
cidents lately, In consequence OF chill
dren recklessly placing themselves in
positions Of danger. Censure is passed
upon the railroad companies where
these casualties have occurred and
there Is O loud cry for tenders on the
street cars that run within the city.

position to the demand for the tenders,
and we believe the Consolidated COM

be filed in a day and therefore, while
we sympathze with the Impotence OF
the public to some extent, we also rec

What we wish TO impress on our
