Continuance of Coal Famine.

Under headlines ike these, Poor
Struggling For Coal" "All Day
Crowds Besiege Many East Side
Yards" Crisis of Cold and Hunger =
Mob Violence Feared" the New York
papers tell of scenes enacted in and
about the coalyards of that city dur
ing the cold snap a few days ago
which were unique in the history of
New York. One big yard on the east
side was besieged by people seeking
small quantities of coal from early
morning until late at night. At 5
o'clock in the afternoon there was q
line of women and children two blocks
long awaiting their turn TO buy a
ticket good for little pail OF coal. The
police had to be called to keep the
crowds in order at many yards. The
situation is desperate" said police
man on guard at one of the yards IF
we have another cold snap before
more coal comes TO the market, |
would not be surprised TO see rioting."
Fortunately the weather moderated.
and the immediate crisis was passed
without serious disorder, though num-
Der of arrests were made.
Speaking of the incident. the preSi-
dent of the New York Associat ton For
Improving the Condition of the Poor
says:
The condition which exists is not q
problem of charity. but one of business.
We have had fewer demands for aid this
winter than ever before. The whole ques-
tion is, How can the people, who have
money and are willing TO pay for it. get
the coal? The poor are not asking for
help. They are earning their wages.
They are able to buy coal. but if they are
not supplied they are apt to be attacked
with sickness, and then they will need
help. The situation is most serious. and
1t is imperative that something OF this
kind should be done.
The conditions existing in New York
are not exceptional, but prevail in a
greater or less degree in all the large
cities which place main dependence
for fuel on hard coal Although six
weeks have passed since the mining
of anthracite was resumed with
promise of the operators that the o
put should be sufficient r. wholly
lieve the stringency an; lace ON I,
markets all the fuel it everybody
would need there NJ appears almo
as much danger 0; midwinter coal
famine as there was in the late au-
tumn. If mining has been prosecute1
on scale which the public has L,
led to believe. where is the coal: ".
is it not in the markets: With tn
mercury in the neighborhood of the
zero mark. the people want coal. ard
want it badly. They have the moneT
and are willing TO pay for it even at
price in excess of that promised by
the coal producers. 1t might be peril
nent for the arbitration commission in
connection with the task it has al
ready in hand or some other body OF
equally competent jurisdiction to in
stitute an inquiry why there should
still exist a coal shortage amounting
in many sections of the country to an
actual coal famine six weeks after re-
sumption of production in promised
abundance.

about certain Boston religious week

This religious paper, it seems. was at

AS is usually the case, the New

play may be. it is quite evident that
running a gambling house in New

perseverance I have no doubt that the intelligent lawmakers Of the state will be able to bring about reasonable amendments to the constitution which will remove all serious causes of com plaint, and I have no doubt the repub- Iican candidates for the general assem- bly, in New Haven will be able to ac- complish more in the way of reform in this line than the candidates of the Op- position party should they be elected. believe the honorable gentleman from Rldgefeld has made some reflec- tions upon the opinions held by citizens of other states concerning our good. old state of Connecticut. As I travel about our country in the west and the south have never heard anything from citi- gems of other states but comments of re- spect and praise for our state, it's insti- tutions and its history.
 If time permitted could show at greater length and more fully in detail the glorious record of the republican party of Connecticut fin managing, con- trolling and improving the state and the condition of all its people during the last forty years. As it has done well in the past, you can trust it in the future, and have no doubt the electors of Con- necticut will show by their votes next Tuesday that the party of Abraham Lincoln and the party of William A. Buckingham, Lafayette Foster and Gideon Welles, the early republican leaders in our state, shall be continued in power for many years to come.

George H. Meyers, vice president of
the State Bank and Trust Company,
who went to Tnopah to take posses
sion of the institution has returned to
this city. From the short time he
spent in the camp he was highly pleas

concern and the place in general. He
states that it is not place for men to
flock to who have not the means for
support, as living is high and the la
Dor field seems to be pretty well cover
ed for the present. During his stay
the town had a lively scare. A fire
started in Miners Union hall and but
for the prompt action of the fire de-
partment big fire would have swept
the town off the map. The story of
the pneumonia plague raging he dis
counts as he failed to hear OF any
