FREE COAL.

A republican congress has re-
moved the duty from coal and made
its Importation free. The duty on
the product has so operated to the
advantage of the coal trust that the
latter in the arrogance and brutality
ofits exactions has plunged coal
using cities and districts into lam
enatb1e conditions. Poor people
have been stealing coal in order to
save themselves from freezing, and
the courts, recognizing that the
thefts were measure of se1f-preser-
walton, have suspended punishment.
The discovery has been made that
While people were freezing to death
In their freless homes, coal men,
backed up by the heavy duty on i'm
ported coal were in agigantic con-
spiraey to keep up prices by with
holding vast supplies of coal from
the market. The situation has Gre
ated such a state of widespread in
dignatiou, that congress has simply
been compelled by public senti
ment to remove the duty on coal.
AS it has been with the coal trust,
SO in time will it be with the steel
and other combinations. When a
man OF a body of men have the
power, natural se1fshness will lead
them to exact tribute to the last
limit. We have all seen 1t eastt1n1
Plifed in the widespread misery the
coal combination has just wrought.
It is going on in the same way in
the case of the steel trust, Standard
Oil and scores of other combina-
tions. Men cannot resist the tempta-
tions of innate greed. The trusts will
exact and exact, will turn the
thumb screws tighter and tighter
until by and by people will discern
as they have in the case of the coal
trust that prohibitive tarifon monop-
ly goods is the implement by means
of which the multitude is robbed, |
and then, one by one, the tariffs
will go. It may not happen today
or omorrow, but it will happen.
At one time, the tariff may have
been sincerely designed as an aid
for labor. Time has shown that
the labor organization is the sure
and only protection of working
mems wages. Congress sees it,
acknowledges it, and seals it with
a complete and Unrestricted reno
val of the duty from coal.

LOST LIFE IN EFFORT TO
SAVE HORSES FROM FIRE
George Martin Overcome by Smoke
and Burned to Death.

In a vain effort TO save two horses
from death. George Martin, second
hand jewelry dealer at SIS G Street
northwest. gave up his own life in a
fire that destroyed two stables back of
TAI Eighth Street southeast. early this
morning. His charred body was found
in the smouldering ashes and taken to
the morgue, where it was identified.
The fire broke out shortly before /
o'clock in a bakery adjoining the
stables With great rapfdity it spread
to these structures and ignited the loose
hay In one of the barns, owned by J.
r. Walls, two gasolene tanks had been
stored for the night and were in i'm
minent danger of exploding. Through
the efforts of the firemen. however. the
large cans were removed without caus
ing any damage.
The cracking of the flames and cries
of the horses attracted the attention OF
Martin, who was sleeping in back
room. Although a cripple, he hurried
downstairs and made his way through
the binding smoke and intense heat to
the stables, Then he vainly tried to
guide the horses to safety, but was
overcome in the attempt
The flames leaped high in the air and
threatened the destruction of surround
ing property. After a hard fight the
ffremen succeeded in combining the
flames to the stables, and the blaze was
finally put out after having caused a
loss estimated at 1000, partly covered
by insurance
An investigation of Martins death
was made by Detective Tyser. There is
every indication that the affair was
purely accidental, and Coroner hewitt
gave a certificate to that effect.

General Fears Deficit.
F0SNES SUSPENDS LISTS
Two Important Orders Issued by New
Officials of Rural Free Delivery.
Further Charges Reported.

J. L. Bristow. Fourth Assistant Post
master General announced this morning
that there would be no more rural free
delivery routes established until July l..
Mr.. Bristow said that at present there
is no deficit in the rural free delivery
fund, but that by July l there would be
deficit of about $40, 900 and he desired
to keep the shortage as low as possible
For this reason no new routes would
be established until July l, and it is
probable that some of those bulletined
to begin in May and June will be post
poned until the same date.
Must Not Give Out Lists.
An order has been issued by Inspector
Fosnes forbidding employees Of the rural
free delivery system to send to big mail
order houses the lists of the people
served by the new rural free delivery
routes This step was taken because
the country merchants bitterly com
planned that their business was being
ruined by the mail order stores.
In connection with the issuance of the
order there is rumor that some months
ago, when the names of new route
patrons were ordered to be publicly
posted, that the order was held up and
concealed for two months while certain
people in the postal service obtained
money from advertisers The ground ad
vaneed for this step, it is said. was that
Mr.. Wynne, First Assistant Postmaster
General, could be induced 20 sign that

Even the Drivers Accused.
Another charge against the rural free
delivery system is that the drivers have
been acting as agents for the advertisers
and that there was connection between
this and the suppression of the order.
An order issued yesterday stops the
daily mailing of the rural free delivery
bulletin to about 5000 business houses.
which are supposed to be using it as a
guide in approaching the drivers to act
as agents.
