The Fuel ATonnnoIr.

From St. Joseph News.
A dispatch from Washington an
nounces that after the government
gets through with the cases against
the Northern Securities company and
the beef trust, steps viii be taken to
break up the combination which now
controls the production and sale Of
anthracite coal The basis for this case
is said to lie in charges that by a com
bination between coal operators and
coal roads all competition is thrOttled.
A very large percentage Of coal lands
belong to the operators in the COM
bine. But there are still available
sources of supply that might be util-
lied if transportation could be secured.
But this is where the railroads get in
their fine work. An operator who is
not in the combine can get cars only
ENTHUSIASTICALLY, and when he does
get them, he must pay freight rates
that are prohibitive. Operators in the
combine are of course supposed to pay
the same rates, but it is charged that
by a system of pooling and rebates
those within the combination are per
mitted to share the profits. Moreover
it is charged that by reason of these
things, the owners of coal lands are
practically stopped from selling to any
but members of the combination
Just how much Of proof there may
be in these charges the courts will
probably determine, but one thing is
certain, the men who were in the an
thracite coal business a generation
ago made independent fortunes out of
it. Anthracite coal is very much higher
now than it was then, and the wages
paid to miners are very much lower.
/ Surely if competition we're free this
condition could not obtain. There is
a screw loose somewhere and if At
/ torney General Knox can discover it
and secure redress both to consumers
and miners he will gain the everlast-
/ ing gratitude of both.

SAME LAW FOR BOTH.
If the Husband stays Out Nights, Why
Not the Wife2-The Decision of
Pacific Coast Judge.

Mrs. a. a. Hawley, president Of the
Colorado W. G. 7. U, has some interest
ing remarks TO make on the present con
ditiOn of the moral code as applied to
men and women. Mrs. Hawley. who is
at present making a tour of Colorado IN
the interests of the ". c. 7. U, relates
this story to illustrate her views:
"a distinguished plaintiff on the Pa
cifc coast recently asked for a divorce
from mis- wife on the ground that she
stayed out late nights, sometimes all
night, without giving any explanation of
her whereabouts. The judge, who was
proably the son OF a ". G. T. L. woman.
listened patiently to the arguments of
the plaintiffs attorney. and then calmly
remarked: "A wife has Just as much
right to stay away from home nights as a
husband has; if it IS wrong for wife to
stay out from her home at night il is
just as wrong for her husband 10 dothe
same, and If It is a reason for divorce in
one case, it is in the'other' The suit of
the plaintiff was denied, and the decision
must have struck terror to the hearts of
the men who believe in one law, or 10
law for themselves, but hold women
rigidly to account for the slightest devia-
ton from the path Of virtue.
at is high time that the church, and
society and the state recognize the fact
that this double standard of morals for
men and women is an affrOnt to the Man
Of Galilee, who classed the adultereus
thought in the same category with the
adulterous Get. Deadly impurity is poi
soning to day the blood Of thousands of
pure women, and mensces every home
IN the land; it runs riot on our streets,
testers il the places Of power, and for
ages men have tried every remedy for
this damning vice but the one which
God preseribes, and that Is purity.

ITS HOOP TO BE PRESERVED.
A Famous Run of Fire Engine Horse
to BE Perpetuated at the smith
sOniam Institute.
- - Washington 3.

From the Washington Post.
The hOof OF horse No. ID, of the Wash
ington fire department, which was shot
after being injured in March, 1900, will
be preserved for exhibition at the Ma
tiOnal museum.
On March %, 1900. the engine and
hose carriage Of No. 3 engine company
cOllided at First and G streets south
west, while responding to an alarm from
box Ais. Horse No. y was one Of these
drawing the hose carriage, and the
wheels Of the heavy engine passed over
his left bind hoof, cutting it of. Neither
piece Of the apparatus was seriously
damaged, and the injury to the horse
was not observed 10 the darkness and
the excitement. The engine and hose
carriage proceeded to the fire, nearly a
mile away. 1t was noticed that horse
No. u limped somewhat, but continued
running with his mate. When the scene
Of the fire was reached the injury which
he had sustained was discovered, and it
was seen that for nearly a mile the noble
animal had run upon the stump of his
injured leg. The horse was shot to end
its misery.
The hOOf, to which the shoe was still
hanging by two or three nails, was found
and preserved. Recently Chief Dutton
forwarded it to Prof S. P. Langley. sec
rotary of the Smithsonian institute, with
a request that it be placed on exhibit
ton there.

APOLOGY WAS UNNECESSARY.

She and her mother was on their way
down town on a car, when the elderly
man entered and stood up IN front of
them. He was stout and digniied IN
appearance, wore a SLOUGH hat and IN
some way impressed the young woman
with the idea that be hailed from the
sunny south This impression was con-
firmed when she heard him speak to the
conductor, the soft r-less accent being
unmistakable. A lurch Of the car threw
him slightly of his balance and he step
ped on the girls foot. He at once raised
his hat and was evidently about to apo
logic, but did not do so. The girl
smiled TO relieve him Of his chagrin and
then he said IN the most courtly fashion:
AFTER looking at yOu closely, madam,
1 have decided not to apologize, because
if God has made such a beautiful WON
an with a foot so small that 1 cannot see
it, surely cannot be blamed"
The girl blushed furiously, but it was
with pleasure, and her mother colored
up, too, but both bowed their thanks FOR
the pretty speech, and as the diplomat
lists say, the incident was .closed.-De-

Root and Higher civilization

From st. Joseph Gazette.
Secretary Root attempts to justify
cruelty because Of the necessities of
the case. He has evidently forgotten
that this country went to war with
Spain because of the cruelties of the
Spanish soldiery in Cuba.
Because the Philippine insurgents
are savage and barbarOus Secretary
Root believes that the American army
would be justified in displaying equal
ferocity and barbarity. But the people
of this country do not subscribe to any
such doctrine as that
The American people are all firmly
and unalterably opposed to barbarOus
and cruel practices in the Philippines
or anywhere else under the jurisdic-
ton of the United States. We pro
fessed to carry the benefits of higher
Civilization to the Philippine, and, no
matter how degraded and cruel the
Filipinos may be, it is to be hoped that
American soldiers will never find it
necessary to become savage and resort
to barbarOus practices.
The Philippine scandals and tales of
torture have shocked this country, and
Secretary Roots peculiar attitude
toward this question has caused talk
as to his probable resignation. Let
him resign. The sooner he does so,
the better.

What the Miners Ask.

From the New York World.
= If the advance of 20 per cent in piece
work pay which the coal miners seek
were granted they could still earn but
$50 to $40 per month, and their work
ing average Of $50 days a year would
not be increased. The reduction of
the hours of day labor from ten to
eight is no more than has long been
granted in most trades where higher
wages prevail. The weighing of coal
at the pit mouth would simply mean
that the men would get pay for the
work they actually do.
Nor is there anything hostile to the
consumers interests in the modest and
natural aspiration Of these iII-paid and
hard-worked men to better them
selves" To accede to all their wishes
might cost the trust 81, 100000 a year.
But upon the strength of the increase
of u cents a ton in the cost of produc-
ton in 1900 it has charged the con
sumner upon an average 80 cents a ton
more than before, gaining an added
profit of 100000 a year, out of which
it could meet every demand of the
miners without raising prices and still
have fat profit left. The trust would
not do this, probably, but it easily
could.
1t is now the beginning of the "slack
season, the trust has a great stock Of
coal On hand and is apparently vel
coming a fight. The men have a strong
er foe TO face than two years ago, and
less reason to expect powerful politi-
cal influence to aid them than they
had in the presidential year.

wATTERsOE's REPLY 10 VEST
President Lincoln Would Have Paid the
south for tho Loss Of the slaves,
says the Kentucky Colonel

In reply to a speech in the United
States senate by Mr.. Vest, Of Missouri.
calling in question some statements
made by Col. Henry Watterson, the fol
lowing article by Col Watterson ap-
peared IN the Louisville Courier Journal
Sunday:
"Assuredly Mr. Lincoln indicated
willingness on his part to enter into some
kind Of obligation as 10 the price of the
restoration Of the union. Two months
later when, by force Of arms, Gen. Lee
was compelled to surrender TO Gen.
Grant the terms Of the unconditional
surrender we're made most generous. 1t
Is stretching the argument to assume
that If Mr.. Stephens and his colleagues
had been empowered to treat, Mr.. Lin
coin was not prepared to 90 even farther
and TO be even more generous.
"In the general conversation had be-
! tween MIR. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward on
one hand and the confederate commits
sioners on the other, Mr.. Lincoln init
mated that payment for the slaves might
| enter into an agreement for union and
peace. We quote the following from Mr..
! Stephens published statement. He went
on TO say that he would be willing to
be taxed to remunerate the southern
people for their slaves. He believed the
people Of the north were as responsible
for slavery as the people of the south,
and, If the war should then cease with
the voluntary abolition of slavery by the
states, he should be IN favor individually
Of the government paying an indemnity
Of the loss to the owners
The point is whether Mr. Lincoln did,
or did not, contemplate payment for the
slaves. In the foregoing extract from
Mr.. Stephens 1t Is plain that he did. But
the evidence does not rest there. The
day after this Fortress Monroe confer
ence, when MIR. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward
had returned to Washington, a cabinet
meeting was held. At this cabinet meet
ing Mr.. Lincoln submitted, in the form
Of a proposed message TO congress, the
two documents above referred to. One
was a joint resolution to be passed by
the two houses Of congress aPpropriat-
ing the four hundred million dollars.
The other was a proclamation to be
issued by himself as president when the
joint resolution had been passed by
congress.
These two documents stand to-day in
Mr.. LincOln's Own handwriting. They
are living witnesses, at least, to the
truth Of his intention and the magnani-
nifty of his character. That was all that
was meant to be proved by those who
originally gave them publicity. The
cabinet was opposed to Mr.. Lincoln's
plan. How long will the war lsst?' he
asked. a hundred days? We are
spending three or four million dollars a
day. There's the money, not counting
the lives. But you are all against me
and 1 will not send the message. There
upon he put the documents away, with
the following subscription:
" February >, 1865. To-day these
papers, which explain themselves, were
drawn up and submitted to the cabinet.
and unanimously disapproved by them.

to name state, congressional and judicial
delegates, resolutions we're adopted bit

While Harris is named in the resOlu-

IN the county and and there was some
hesitancy in adopting the resolution on
that account, but there was DO serious

Dairymen Haven't Forgotten.

The National Dairy union has lined
up with the dairymen Of Kansas in their
fight on the congressman who fought
their bill in congress and worked in the
interest of the packers and OleOmar-
garine. W. J Bailey, candidate for the
republican gubernatOrial nomination;
Charles F. Scott, candidate for a re-
domination as congressman t-large, and
Chester 1. Long, candidate for congress
from the Seventh district, are the ones
on whom the guns of the dairymen are
trained.
There are over $4,000 dairymen in the
state, and it is limited that if the re-
publican party does not turn down these
men for denomination they will be
swamped at the polls.

Kansas I'D IL Nheat.

The one state that pretends to be a

Minnesota, and many unsOphisticated

of agriculture, it was b, 5O9, 252 bushels,
