Inadequate Railroad Facilities.

IL tbc oA 1ue Evening star.
The citizens committee. at last. has dis
covered the real reason for the shortage Of
coal here-the inability Of our two rail-
roads to bring 1t fast enough. Both roads
have been in state of innocuous desue-
tude ever since the G. A. R. encampment.
having more business than they are ca
pable of handling The sudden influx Of
coal has completely swamped them, as they
lack the necessary equipment for handling
even an approach to a full supply of coal
for this city, and there Is nothing in pros
pect but want and suffering all winter.
Other roads do not want to send their cars
here because they are detained SO long. A
gentleman just returned from the soft coal
mines around Cumberland and Frostburg
reports that the miners are working only
from one to two days in a week because the
railroads cannot furnish cars to remove
the product faster. 1t is gratifying to know
that the citizens committee has made a
discovery at last that has been well under
stood by some. at least. all along.

TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS.
No More to Be Made in the Treasury
Department

On account of the scarcity of places In the
Treasury, that department has stopped max
ing temporary appointments for the time
being. These appointments have been made
heretofore when vacancies occurred in the
regular service by the death. resignation
or dismissal of clerks and pending the APP
pointment of an eligible from the lists OF
the civil service commission. While there
is heavy demand for help in certain bu-
reaus 1t has been decided also to use the
repair roll for regular appointees only, and
that fund no longer will be used for emerg-
ency appointments. There are few changes
taking place in the personnel OF the depart
ment at this time and for these reasons the
department, it is understood. has decided to
suspend all appointments of temporary
character.

OILS open as long as they are able

the schools open as long as they are able
to do so
Mr. Macfarland stated today that in ad-
dition to this it might be stated that the
coal which he Commissioners have been
enabled to secure Is not the fuel tnat
would have been placed upon the general
market. 1t was coal set aside practically
for what might be termed the government
market. and it is said If 1t had not been
taken by the Commissioners 1t would nave
been shipped to some one Of the govern
ent departments or institutions here.
The Commissioners think the schools
should have every consideration 1t is pos
sibe to give them. 1t Is said that two
agents of government departments were
endeavoring to secure the soft coal and
coke which the Commissioners last bought.
Meeting Of Committee.
A meeting of the citizens committee ap-
pointed to investigate the probability of
getting soft coal and imported hard coal
to relieve the situation, was held at the
Riggs House last night. The sentiment Of
those present seemed to be that the situa-
ton could only be relieved by shipping IN
soft coal from the mines in Maryland, vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. the
purpose of the committee, 1t was stated.
was to provide fuel for the residents OF
Washington who could not pay more than
81 or IS per ton for coal.
1t was considered too late to try to get a
supply VI dHtHTdCltc w diCSp 81 eAo
committee decided that the most feasible
plan would be to make an effort to ship In
large quantities Of soft coal from nearby
states. A subcommittee of three, consisting
of w. w. Dannenhower. r. P. Andrews
and Barry Buckley, was appointed to con-
fer with the railroad lines entering the city
as to the probability Of getting them to ship
soft coal from the places mentioned In suf-
fcient quantities.
1t is also likely that Mr.. Buckley will go
to. New York Friday to investigate the adj
visibility Of importing anthracite from
Wales.
Mr.. Bulkley made a report of the results
of his trip of investigation through the soft
coal region in Virginia, West Virginia and
Kentucky
Among other things he said: "1n Louis
vile, KY. all the soft coal from the Ken
lucky mines is sold at from $50 to s.. 10
per ton. Pennsylvania soft coal sells for
about So ton. The people out there have
no idea of the critical situation in Washing
ton. The question Is. why some of this soft
coal used in the middle west. and costing
only 81 or So ton, cannot be brought to
Washington. The citizens committee will
attempt to do this at once"
The citizens committee is composed OF O.
G. Staples, W. s. Bronson, w. w. Danen-
hover c. f. Wood. Frank X. Raymond,
R. P Andrews, Paul r. Van Mater, e. 8.
Alvord and Barry Buckley. Mr.. Bronson.
the assistant general passenger agent of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. was not
present at the meeting last night, and,
therefore, some interesting questions which
arose in connection with transportation
matters could not be answered.

Society the Loser.
From the phfladeIphia Ledger

It is not only the children who suffer from
the fragrant wrong of child labor: though
their loss of opportunities of advancement
should be enough to aggressively urge So
ciety to remove it. The chief sufferer and
loser is society itself. The bedrock founda-
ton Of our political and social institutions,
which Is meant to uplift the manhood of
the poor and provide them with the chance
to achieve material success, is education.
1t is the public school which opens the door
to the ambitions and achievements of our
children, and if they are debarred from the
schools and put, at tender age, into the
mill or mine, with the result of stunted
bodies and minds, their opportunities are
denied them
