PACIFIC COAL DEVELOPMENT.

In the Engineering Magazine for
May, Harrington Emerson considers the
Goal Resources of the Pacific" In
connection with the promise OF Ameri-
can trade with the orient and the de-
velopment of American shipping inter-
ests in the Pacific, Mr.. Emerson's re-
searches are extremely interesting.
Coal is q necessity to m and
the development of rich deposits Of this
fuel on our Pacific coast will naturally
make for an increase in our number of
ocean going vessels and a. increase Of
American trade carried in American
bottoms. Mr.. Emerson points out tina.
Australia, New Zealand and Japan
have long been exporting Goa. Some
of 1t comes to San Francisco. China
also has enormous deposits which will
some day become available. On this
side of the ocean Goa is found at sew
eral places between Chill and Behrins
Sea. The South American product is
of inferior quality, tho, n the demand
for 1t will fall off perceptibly when tn"
completion of an isthmian canal rem
ders a voyage around Cape Horn UNI
necessary. The outcrop o. Coos Bay,
Oregon, is apparently little better. A
conspicuous improvement is noticed
when one comes to the Puget Sound re-
gion. The fields in that part of the
important on the whole Pacific coast
today. Their output last year was on
siderably over 100000 tons. Coal is
also abundant in Alaska, and in time
the mines there a prove formidable
rivals of those further south. By far
the best criticize is found between
Mount St Elias and the Copper river.
1t is as clean to handle as glass, and
contains the same high percentage of
ard of the United States navy. Unfor-
tunately there is no natural harbor in
that immediate vicinity. Other diff
culties will be experienced in shipping
coal from Cooks Inlet, altho it exists
there In large quantities and is of fair
ly good quality. Mr.. Emerson con
cludes that, everything considered, the
most promising Alaskan coal fields are
those situated On the long, narrow Pc
pipc,la that reaches ont
ward from the continent toward the
Aleutian Islands and separates BehriEg
Sea from the Pacific. On Herendesn
Bay, facing the former body of water,
and Chignik Bay, opening out into the
latter, are valuable deposits. Others,
at Portage Bay, near Chignik Bay and
in about the same longitude as Hawaii,
are already being worked. The Cog.

PLEAD GUILTY AS INDICTED.

The senate was the scene Of confess
sional yesterday. Senator Tiliman took
the time and place to make open con-
fession to the crimes of the democratic
party against the negro voter and the
constitution of the United States.
Smarting under the deserved ostracism
he has suffered by his colleagues since
the disgraceful Tilman-McLaurin cpl
sode the vile temper of the nan took
possession of him and he "owned up"
In an hour OF frantic jeremiad and Will
tication he made an unconscious ar
raignment of the democratic party
more severe than could have been ac-
complished by any republican senator
on the floor. He avowed fraud with
pride and gloried in the facts that the
south had defied law and stopped to
every conceivable political %expedient,
however contemplate or criminal, to
disfranchise the negro voter. In his in
sane rage he even condoned murder as
a part of the partisan procedure Of the
south.
individually, Senator Tillman is en-
titled to the credit of a discreditable
sincerity. AS a leading senator of the
democratic party he is certainly to be
credited with representing the senti-
ments of it's southern wing. The DEM
ocratic party must stand for the truth
and Tillman is VIGOROUSLY and brutally
truthful, M matter what else he may
be. That the democratic senators
| rushed to the cloak rooms and left him
to talk to republicans is no rebuttal Of
Tillman's Indictment. All that Tillman
said was true and he voiced the senti.
denied that it would ever submit TO
negro political domination or equality.
The south will never willingly admit
the negro to his rights Of franchise.
Perhaps, under similar circumstances
and conditions, the north might act in
a similar manner but the spectacle of
u united StateS senator uelylHB the
constitution under which he holds Of
flee and the provisions of which he is
under oath to support, is a disgrace to
the party hat elected him. To oppose
the war in the Philippines, to raise an
issue of mercy for Moro bolo men and
charge cruelty against an army en-
gagged in putting down rebellion, is
scarcely consistent with the confession
Of faith promulgated by Senator Till
man for his party and his section. Mr..
Tillman did CONAN service yesterday
for the republicans. He plead guilty
to every indictment ever brought
against the democracy by the republi-
can party.

measures In that general neighborhood
are more extensive and accessible than
any others in Alaska, and their cor
tents are said to be richer in carbon
than any other deposits on the whole
Pacific coast except that near Mount
st. Elias.
To many people Alaska seems to he
a sadly out of the way region. It's
southern coast, tho, is certainly placed
advantageously for supplying coal for
transpacifc shipping. Mr.. Emerson
declares hat a ship bound from Seattle
to Yokohama would need to add only
seventy-two miles-or about -four
hours steaming-to the shortest posi-
BILE distance across the ocean in order
to touch at Portage Bay. Vessels bound
stop at Honolulu. Were they to go by
way of Portage Bay they would W
nearly 500 miles, or more than a days
sailing. Just now, of course, the large
population and industrial interests OF
Hawaii make the longer route prefera-
BILE. There can be little doubt in the
opinion Of Mr.. Emerson that one
of these days Alaska will not only ex-
port coal to Central America and Cali
fornia, out exert an influence on the
routes of fast steamships across the
Pacific. Owing to the fact that her
fuel is more valuable than hat OBJ
tanned along Puget Sound she will have
a distinct advantage over British Col
umbia and Washington.

PRODUCERS VS.. CONSUMERS.

The newspaper element in Iowa that
still harbors q hatred of Governor
Cummins has pounced upon his Mime
apolis speech to prove that 1T contains
pernicious democratic doctrine and that
therefore the governor himself is q
dangerous character. Governor Cum
minis said hat he believed the con-
sumner had a better right to competition
than the producer to protection. OF
course the governor realized that we
must all of us be producers as well as
and he was in no measure
cenouncing the principle of protection
to producers that builds up American
industry. But taken with the context
OF his whole speech 1t was very evident
to the man disposed to be fair that
Governor Cummins referred to those
conditions in which the producer was
demanding as an inherent right special
privileges which he did not deserve and
which could only be granted at h ex-
pense of the In other words,
when the steel trust is found selling
home and making outrageous profits
Governor Cummins believes that 1t be-
comes high time to throw down the
tariff barriers to foreign competition to
the extent that the American farmer
may buy his American-made steel ma
chinery as cheap as can his competitor
in South America.
Even as an abstract principle the
consumer always has a better right to
competition than the producer has to
protection and in the case Of
a protective tariff the restric-
ton Of competition at the expense of
the consumer car only be justiiable
when it is true that the protection Of
the producer enhances the general pub
lies power to In almost every
concrete case the producer is a class
while the consumer is a mass, and the
right of a government to restrict the
privileges that would otherwise be en-
joyed by the masses In It's attempt to
foster the business Of the class must be
founded upon a correct principle that
the welfare Of the masses will be bene-
flied by the restriction. It is mere cant
t. claim that the doctrine fails because
producers and consumers are indistin-
guishable as classes. Protection when
applied by law is applied concretely, to
a class; it is either a steel schedule or a
sugar schedule and carries with it a
benefit to q class Of steel producers
Capitalists and laborers) or of sugar
producers at the expense of everybody
else, for steel and sugar are consumed
by the general public. When Cummins
said the consumer has a better right to
competition than the producer has to
protection he did not deny that a re-
striction of his competition In protec-
ton of a producer might benefit all by
increasing the opportunities of all to
consume. He meant that when a steel
trust or a sugar trust grew so large
that it needed no more protection a re-

Here's How the Money Goes.

At a special meeting of the
Board of Aldermen held last Sat-
urday, resolution was offered by
Mr.. Lawler and seconded by MI.
DeitEein, which was carried, that
the town attorney be ordered to
take whatever legal steps he deems
necessary in opposition to the in
junction suit filed against the
Mayor and members of the Board
OF Aldermen against putting down
plank walks in certain parts of
town. Then Mr.. Healey moved,
and Mr.. Lawler seconded u reso-
luton to appoint committee
consisting of Messrs. Deltlein and
Healey to select and employ coun-
sci to assist the tfwn attorney in
this suit, and said committee was
authorized to contract to pay said
counsel such fees as it may deem
proper, not exceeding $3.50. The
Mayor vetoed the above resolu-
tion for the reason that he be-
lieved that the employment of
additional counsel is unnecessary
at this time, and for the further
reason that should the employ
ment of other counsel be neces-
sary, the Board as whole should
select the counsel needed and the
wishes of the town attorney in the
matter should be considered. The
resolution was passed over the
Mayors veto by the following
vote: Healey, Deitlein, Lawler
and Vilaseca. Gosselin voting to
sustain the Mayors veto. 1t is

A Renaissance.

At the reception given Mrs.
jefferson Davis in New Orleans
recently, at which many promi-
nent citizens of the city and State
were present, and several eloquent
addresses made, Gen. Leon JAS
tremski, in the course of his adj
5nrablc address recalled the fol-
lowing incident in eloquent terms:
"Right here there rises in my
mind the mournful day at the
Bloody Angle at Spottsylvania:
Enveloped by the dense fog and
the mist, at daybreak, Il Union
column of regiment at company
distance, column far more pow
erful than the historic column ut
whose head Marshal Mcdonald
broke the Austrian center at
Wagram, was hurled against this
famous angle. The surprised line
of Edward Johnston's division
defending 1t was literally enguIfed
by it's assaiIants, and with many
others | was driven to the Union
rear, prisoner. Despite the
downpour from the weeping skies,
which was we'll nigh incessant,
the sounds of the cannonade, of
the musketry, of the huzzas Of the
Yankees and the yells of the Con-
|federates, went on and on till
away in the night, telling that the
fight and the carnage were pro-
cccding with unabated fury. You
may we'll conceive the anxiety of
the captive Southerners during
those never-to-be-forgotten hours.
After painful all days march,
the next day we reached Acquia
Creek, on the Potomac. There
we got a Washington paper con-
tanning dispatch from gallant
and generous officer Of General
Grant 5 staff, which had been sent
at the close of the fighting at the
Bloody Angle 1t was burned
into my memory, ana peiieVe
that it said literally: we attacked
the rebels this morning at day
break. The fighting has not yet
| ceased. We have gained no de-
cided advantage, and our losses
are appalling. The rebels have
today fully vindicated their boast
of Southern chivalry. They fought
more like devils than like men.

mettle Of the Confederate soldler'

dreds of other fields where South
