BUNCOMBE IN THE COUNCIL.

Very few people will take any stock
In the buncombe business perpetrated
at the last meeting Of the City Council,
wherein II was proposed that the city
OF Chicago should enter into the coal
business for the purpose. forsooth. of
supplying the public with bitumin-
GUS coal at cost.
The announcement in connection
with this action made In one OF our
daily contemporaries began by declar-
ing 1t drastic" and then proceeded to
say that 1t was an attempt on the part
Of the City Council Ito meet the exl'
gencies resulting from the coal strike
and to I'LL the coal bins depleted by the
fuel famine.
with winter approaching" the ar
ticle goes on to say, "the Aldermen
Judged that impending privatiOn and
suffering warranted them In afrordine
municipal relief. Accordingly Il reso
luton to that effect was passed with
out debate. 1t offered the bodies,
scheme Of meeting the fuel strlngency
yet promulgated by city government
and instructed the Mayor. the City
Treasurer and Clerk, the Comptroller
and Commissioner of Public Works tC
ascertain the lowest cost at which In
diana or Illinois coal may be procured
I'm this manner the city officials will
act as u clearing house, cutting the
high prices caused by the present rcla
tions of demand and supply by deal
ing in the name Of the people directly
with the operators Of the nearby fuel
fields.
1.-THE Councils order reads as fol,
lows:
Resolved, That the Mayor, City
Comptroller, City Treasurer, Commits
sloner Of Public Works and City Clerk,
constituting committee, be and here.
by are requested to ascertain as soon
as possible the lowest cost ut which
Indiana or Illinois coal can be delivered
In Chicago In quantities Of 300 ana
1,0OO-ton lots, to the end that coal may
be brought to this market and sold 10
consumers at its actual cost for dellv-
cry"
Now, this sounds all very well In It's
way, but little close scrutiny will
show that 1t is buncOmbe pure and
simple.
In the first place the city has neither
the time nor the means to go into the
coal business. 1t has neither time nor
means To attend to its own business.
Just think of city coal yards estab.
llshed all over town, with ward heclers
and plug-uglies in charge. Would
there be short weight and short meas.
ure?
Well we should think so.
The City Sealer would have to in.
crease his force of employees by the
hundred In order to see that the public
was not buncoed by weight, measure
and every other way, and then he
couldn't protect the public ut that.
The law of supply and demand will
always govern the prices of commodi-
ties, no matter who the purveyor may
be, and coal Is no exception TO the rule.
If there Is a famine in anthracite coal,
the price of the bitumnous coal is
bound to go up because the demand for
1t Is increased.
As for the talk about public munich
palities and governments going into
business such as owning and supply.
Ing commodities used by the people,
the talk Is sheer nonsense and rant.
1t may do at times as -poltcal bun
cOmbe, but that is all there Is 10 Il.

CAUSE0FIT
Slight Foundation For the
Boundary Talk.

All the talk that has been INDUCED the
FAST two DAYS In this clty about the trans
fer Of Skagway to Canada In exchange
for some Of the British West Indies Is
based on dispatch from Montreal dated
on the 9th OF the present month to the
Hearst newspapers. II only purpots 10 be
a scheme arrived at by the premIeFs Of the
outlaylng British colonies. No further
hope has been extended to them, according
tc the dispatch, than the bare statement
that secretary Hav will be In position TO
discuss the Alaskan question next fall
Nothing In the dispatch Indicates any con-
neetlon with the Skagway army post.
The dispatch In full follows.
Reports have been received Of a remark
able deal planned bv Great Britain, in
which the United States Is to play an i'm
potant part, unless negotiations fall.
In the conference Of the colonial premiers
10 London last week an idea was reached
that will make quite a stir later 10 the
United States when Il Is brought up In
more definite form.
Il was that In order 70 settle the Alaskan
boundary question an offer would be made
to the United States Of some Of the British
West Indies, and that, In return, Canada
should be allowed the privilege Of having
a port at some point on the Alaskan coast.
Dyea Is the particular port which England
wishes 10 obtain.
Il Is believed In London that the United
States Is eager to get hold OF the West
Indies for stratsgleal purposes. Great
Britain has 50 MANY Islands In that part Of
the world that few could be spared with
out any Injury to British interests, and as
the United States appears to be 50 keen
just now to obtain Islands near the CarIb-
bean sea, the British statesmen believe
tina, they have hit upon a good basis for a
trade.
They have sounded Secretary Hay In a
general way and a promise has been made
by him that next fall he will be In a pOslt-
lon to discuss the whole Alaskan problem,
with a view to some kind Of definite
action.

Officers Think Post Will Not
Be Discontinued.

Army officers a, SkaEway To view Of
the associated press disptteh that appeared
in the Daily Alaskan upon the subject
Yesterday morning, think the army post
al SS1gwav will not be discontinued.
But thew are Of the opinion that the mill
tary heaquuarters for this immediate
vicinity will be at HalnsS One Of the
officers 10 Sklgway said Yesterday that Il
would no, Be at an Inconsistent 10 main
tain a post at each point.
The announcement Of the location OF a
post AZ HlInes and the determination TO
begin work upon 10 was not a surprise TO
the army officers a; .nls place as Major
rutherlv, who Is here now, had recon-
mentsd tina, a pos, Be located al that
place. However he. Il Is said, recon-
msntsi that the post be there Instead Of
al Skagway for the reason that there was
not sufficient room available at this place
and FOL, the further reason that he was
afraid that there is danger from floods at
Skagway.
IT'S the opInion Of some Of the officers
at this point that the post at Skagway
will probably be 10 the nature Of a detail
that nav consist Of a company more Of
less frum the regular post az daines
But an this is admittedly speculation as
there Is no way Of telling what NAV Be
