The Coal Trust and Goal Prices.

The Coal Trust has not only fixed the whole
sale price of anthracite coal but the retail
price also. The retail dealers of Baltimore,
and presumably everywhere, have been mott
fed by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company that they hust send bond
with every order guaranteeing not to charge
more nor less than $7.25 per ton. The re-
tailers will have to comply or go out Of bust
ness, as the Trust will not sell them coal I'M
less they furnish bonds.
The Trust has advanced the wholesale price
fifty cents a ton, for the purpose, most likely,
to make the people pay what was lost during
the long strike.

Roosevelt's Love for the Negro.

President Roosevelt has again shown his
love for the Negro. By changes In the Con
stitutions of most Southern States the lgnor'
ant Negroes have been excluded from Young
MANY white Republicans of the South have
recently undertaken to build up white he
nublican party in that section. A year ago
Roosevelt, himself, thought it proper thing
to do. He found Senator McLaurin, ofSouth
Carolina. was rot in full accord with the
Democratic party, which party sent him to the
Senate. and he selected him to dispense Fed
eraI patronage in his State, with that purpose
in view. The plan was to lure Democrats
from their party by office, and at McLaurlh
suggestion the President gave several good
places to Democrats. This caused a kick by
the white Republicans, and it looked like
more loss than gain to the Republican party.
The Democrats Of South Carolina resented
the apostacy of McLaurin, and he was retired
from the Senate and has left the State.
The white Republicans, then, seeing the
Negro vote now is quite insignificant, and be-
living that the elmation of the Negro entirely
the Republican party would be greatly
strengthened, undertook to build up an ex-
clusvey white Republican party. The new
party has been termed 1.-The Lily Whites, "
in derison.
In Alabama Julian II. Bingham, Collector
of Internal Revenue, was leader in the Lilly
White movement. Booker L. Washington,
the Negro who dined with the President at
the White House by special invitation, and
other Southern Negroes, generally preachers,
objected TO the exclusion of the Negroes from
participation in Republican party affairs, and
on Monday the President had Collector Bng-
ham removed and appointed JOS. o. Thomp-
son in his place. Thompson is said to be a
Democrat but it is not likely that he is.
In dismissing Bingham the President ex-
planned that he would not tolerate distinction
on account of color.
In this action the President has no doubt
offended the white Republicans of the South,
and if he persists in being the Negro's Champ
ion he will drive every white Republican IN
the South into the Democratic ranks.
Ia announcing his purpose to punish all
white Republican office holders who under
take to exclude Negroes from party councils,
the President has not only again exhibited his
love for the Negro, but in bringing the Ne
groes back into the party again has assured
the votes of all the Southern States for him.
self in the next National Republican conven
ton. Should he win i'll the next election
Booker I. Washington may be in his Cabinet
aud add his wisdom to Cabinet counsels.
Roosevelt and the Negroes should go.

Coal Strike Commission A Failure

Serious trouble is ahead for the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission. as the operators per-
sist in their refusal to have nothing to do with
the union as an organization. The replies of
Messrs. Truesdale, ELEPHANT and Fowler to
Mr.. Mitchell's formal demands were made
public and all three take firm stand against
recognition of the union in any way whatso-
ever. President Truesdale of the Delaware
and Lackawanna Company goes so far as to
say that his Company ''unequivocally assert
that it will, under no condition, recognize or
enter into any agreement with the association
known as the United Mineworkers of America,
or any branch thereof"
As the Union, as an organization, has sub
mitted demands through Mr.. Mitchell, las presi
dent, it is highly probable that the union will
insist upon being treated as an organization;
and, as the operators will not enter into any
agreement with the organization, the task Of
the Commission will be most difficult, and
may, in large measure, be without result.

GREEN GOODS.
| Circulars from Showers Of the Queer Sent
to Many Persons in Carroll.

In the past week or so many circulars have
been sent to citizens of Carroll, containing
offers to supply them with spurious money.
The circulars state that the goods are not
connterfeits and that the United States Treas
ury officials pronounce them spurious; that
during the excitement when President Nc
Kinley was assassinated the plates from which
the greenbacks of the denominations of one,
five and ten dollars were printed were ''se.
creted," and from these on silk-threaded
paper the real thing are printed:
The circulars tell those to whom they are
addressed that they can become prosperous,
and become a power in their communities;
that they can retire from business and live
lives of ease and contentment, by buying and
using their goods.
The prices of the goods are given as follows {:
$500 buys $4,000, $3.50 buys $1,000, $1,000 buys
$lS 900 and $1,000 buys $4,000. This is for
the first order. On the second the price is Is
cents on the dollar.
The circular is signed Success. The
author says he cannot receive letters aud the
deals must be made face to face. On another
sheet he tells how to communicate with him
by telegraph, and directs that the Western
Union lines only be used, and only between
the hours of 8 a. III. and 5 p. N. The tele-
grams must be as follows

The sender of the telegram must sign his
initials only, and upon its receipt the dealer
in spurious notes says he will send sample OF
his ''work" and appoint safe place to meet.
1t is little singular if Edward King Gan
assumed nancy has the genuine plates from
which the government had greenbacks printed
he should want to share the profits OF printing
them with people generally. Whilet the notes
would be spurious no expert could distinguish
the genuine from the spurious, and he could
pass them all himself.
The whole scheme is a swindle. even IL he
has the government plates, which is not likely,
and any person who deals with the alleged
Edward King is liable to be caught and sent
to the penitentiary.
Some persons, out of mere curiosity. might
be tempted to send him telegram for terms
and details, just to see the kind OF notes he
has, And again. as a matter of curiosity, try
to pass the note upon some merchant or other
person TO see if it will be taken. 1t the note
passes he may be tempted to try more and IT,
nally land behind prison bars. The step once
taken, even just out of curiosity to see the
bills, is dangerous, and no man should have
anything to do with the alleged Edward King.
