Aphorisms From Emerson.

Man is the image of God; why run aft
er a ghost or a dream.
My creed is very simplc-that goodness
is the only reality.
Men are respectable only as they re
spect.
Nature hates monopolics and exccp-
tiOnS.
Nature loves analoSies, but not rcpcti
tiOns.
Never mind the ridiculc. never mind the
defeat; up again, old heart.
No aristocrat, no prince born to the
purple, can begin to compare with tn"
self respect of the saint . ,,.,,.,..
No man ever stated his Griefs as lightly
as he might
mand.
Omit the negative propositions; nerve
us with inccssant atiirmations.
Prayer is the contemplation OF the facts
of life from the highest point Of view.
Prosperity and pound cake are for very
young gentlemen, whom such things con-
tent.
Put God in your debt; every stroke
shall be repaid
Rcctitude is a perpetual victory:
Sclf-tTuSt is the essence of he:ol m.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Sincere and happy conversation doubles
our powers.
The false prudence which dotcs on
health and wealth is the butt and meifl-
mcnt Of hcrOism.
The beautiful rest on the foundations
of the necessary.
The condition which high friendship de-
mands is the ability to do without It.
The disease with which the human
mind now laborS is want OF 1alth
The essence of greatness IS the peTc p
ton that virtue is enough; poverty is its
ornament.
The good spirit of our life has no heav-
Ell which is the price of r3SlncSS.
The great are not tender about being
obscure, deSpiScd, inSult"d.

Coal Production.

The United States Geological sur
vey has issued a special bulletin, Civ
ing valuable figures as 10 our produc-
tion and comparing it with that of
other countries. 1t shows that in 1901
the entire coal output of the United
States amounted to 2922l0,15S short
tons valued at SEAS, ,S3l. AS com
pared with 1900 when the output
amounted to 263 ,SsI. .S27 short tons,
worth 1861, ,S31 36i, this represents an in
crease of pr cent. in quantity, and
of 1876 per cent. in value. The produc-
ton of Pen rsylvauia anthracite showed
phenomenal increase from 51,22l,$3S
long tons equivalent to 57,367,915 short
tons, in 1900 to Go,212, $50 long tons or
67,47l ,GG7 short tons in 1901. This repre-
sented a gain of 171A per cent, the
largest percentage of gain made by the
anthracite trade in 20 years. Part of
this increase in 1901 was due to a de-
creased output of anthracite in 1900 as
compared Will 1879, do Wv ms, ~ NAAN-
historic strike of 1900 the output that
year was reduced by over 2,5oO,0OO long
tons.
The bulletin gives % states on its list
as coal producing, Pennsylvania being
far in the lead with Illinois, West Vir-
ginia. Ohio and Alabama following IN
the order named. OF the q mentioned
Oregon produced the least. No New
England state is on the list. Cali
fornia. Montana, New Mexico and
Tennessee We're the only ones to pro-
ducc less than in 1900. In comparison
with the coal production Of other coun-
tries the bulletin shows that the United
States produced. in 1901, 20 per cent.
more than Great Britain. Our coal
production last year was also nearly so
per cent larger than Germany's, near
ly times that of Austria Hungary,
and moro than times that of France.

AN EMINENT AUTHORITY.
His Words on the Danger from Opium

A Second Class Mail Decision.

Justice Barnard of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia has rend-
cred decision which is of no little sig
nificance as affecting the controversy
between the publishers and the post
office department regarding second
class mail matter. The court refuses
tC issue a writ of mandamus against the
postmaster general as asked by a Chi
cago business college whose weekly pub
lication had been refused second class
rates, and dismisses the petition. The
effect of the decision is more sweeping
than appears on its face. since Justice
Barnard explains why he refuses to go
declared by an executive department.
Justice Barnard says: IF there was
no question of construction here; if the
government admitted that the petition
er was in the class defined in the stat
ute, but Notwithstanding the pOstmast-
er general had insisted that its publ
cations should be excluded for some
reason or policy of his own, then the
court might not hesitate the jurisdiction
vested in it and direct the executive
officer to comply with the law; but
where there is question Of construc-
ton. and judgment must be exercised
by the executive officers in order to as
certain what is meant, then it seems to
me there Is no appeal to this court TO
correct such judgment in case the court
might think the construction of the
department was erroneous. The act
of the executive department complained
of this proceeding is the refusal of the
postmaster general to allow the paper
published by the petitioner to becarried
at second class rates; and this refusal
is based upon the opinion of the as
sistant attorney general for the post
office department, that a business col
lege of the class of corporations to
which the petitioner belongs is not a
learning within the meaning of said
act. 1 fully agree with that opinion,
but If I did not, sitting as 4 court hav-
ing authority to compel the perform
ance Of a ministerial act, l should
hesitate to issue writ compelling the
exercising of "a judicial act, such as. the
construction of a .statute is.t If the
courts should differ in. judgment with
the executive officers of the govern
ment as to the meaning of the various
laws the latter are charged with
executing, and should compel them to
follow the views of the courts in place
of their own judgment. there would be
a substitution of the judicial mind for
that of the executive; and that is not
contemplated under our constitution
