Coal in Maine.

Biologists have always commended
that there are no coal deposits in the
State of Maine. They base these judg-
ments upon general surface indications
throughout the State, and thus far, II
must be admitted, that their opinion
has apparently been sustained. Dur
ing the building of the Fish River rail-
road. what was believed to be soft
coal. was discovered. Some of it was
placed upon a blacksmith's forge and
renorted to burn freely. The recent in
vestigation, which members Of the
State Geological Survey and a govern
,nent expert conducted, decided that
this so-called coal was merely baked
black mud, which glowed freely when
placed upon the fire, but gave out no
heat. IT, therefore, coal deposits ex-
list in Maine, they are yet to be discov-
cred. There are many scholarly men
in our State, who are firmly convinced
of the fact that Maine has vast re-
which are yet to be exploited. The late
DIR. Amos Wilder of this city, was long
an advocate of a State appropriation
to be used in the making of deep Dor
ings in different sections of the State.
He was very confident that work of
this kind would reveal large amount
of mineral wealth, and there We're
many others in the State who conceded
with his views.
The fact that biologists express the
opinion that there is no coal in Maine,
is by no means conclusive. Biologists
for many years expressed the same
opinion as regards Nova Scotia, and
vet, immense deposits of soft coal are
being successfully mined there today,
and it may be that, in the years to
come, coal will be found in our own
state. There is no doubt but that the
people of Maine have been somewhat
negligent in seeking for it's mineral
wealth. A large portion of our State Is
covered with dense forest growths, and
has been heretofore considered solely
from the standpoint of timber pro6uc-
ton Is it not more than likely that in
these vast forest solitudes, there may
lie concealed in the bosom of the earth,
sources of wealth as great or greater
than those existing upon the surface?
Certainly here is a field for investiga-
ton that should not be wholly ignored,
and it is to be hoped that in the years
to come, vastly more work will be done
in ascertaining our mineral resources
than has been accomplished in the
mast

Porto Rican Coffee.

For some reason the consumption of
Porto Rican coffee has not increased
in this country to the extent that was
anticipated when that beautiful island
flag. The claim is made that Ameri-
cans have vet very much to learn about
that they have failed to roast the coffee
beans imported from Porto Rico suffi-
GENTLY to extract their essential Oil
L, is claimed that when sufficiently
roasted the Porto Rican berry is the
best in the world.
ANY one who has seen the Cubans Of
Santiago province prepare their excel
lent native coffee" says one authority,
will appreciate the force of this advice.
The Cubans first roast the beans, and
grind them in the mill, somewhat
coarse. Then they take this ground
Office, roast it again, and pulverize it
in another mill. or in the same one set
to grind finer This twice-roastel
product yields a delicious beverage"
1t is evident that our people should
not condemn Porto Rcan coffee for the
faults of preparation that rest upon the
inadequate methods of our own big
coffee houses.
If the coffee of this island, properly
handled, has the rare delicacy of flavor
that is attributed to it by Americans
VINO have used it on the island there
does not appear to be any reason why
it should not be generally used in this
country and form staple article Of
American commerce.

Mr.. Chamberlain's enemies appreciate
the fact that his resignation from the
cabinet has changed the situation ma
terially While there he was easy for
them to get at. Now they are begin
ming to fear that they will be easy for
him to get at. Mr.. Chamberlain is a
most vigorous campaigner who has al
ways exerted a wonderful influence
upon the English voters, and now that
he is free to present his views upon
the hustings, the movement for protec-
ton in his party may gain formidable
nroportious. and it would not be at all
surprising if in the near future 1t
might sweep the country.

The Census in the Philippines.

The new census which has just been
War Department shows the total num-
per of people in those islands to be
G,s76,574, or less than the population OF
the single state of New York.
This is a rather small population for
1000 islands even if it We're eQuitably
distributed; but, as a matter of fact
i: is not so distributed. On the western
coast of Luzon and in Cebu it is very
much crowded, segregation appearing
TO be marked Filipino characteristic.
In other sections it is exceedingly
sparse, so much so in fact as to offer
very little restriction to colonization,
should American enterprise ever de-
sire to exploit the great natural re-
enough the Filipino population is to-
day congested in those very places
which, from an American point of view
would appear to be the least desirable
for purposes of colonization.
1t is surprising that those people who
are so anxious to be rid of the south
ern negro have never advocated his de-
portation to the Philippines. Perhaps
there is a streak of sanity running
through their racial madness to show
them the utter folly and futility of such
Il proposition.
At the same time colonies of negroes
might. it would seem, be established
in some of these islands in connection
with industrial enterprises, and it is
not improbable that the experiment
ill sometime be given a practical trial.

during the past week comprise 1886 lbs,
domestic. and 22S0 lbs. foreign against
glib lbs, domestic and 2,G17 lbs, foreign
for the same time last year.
REMARKS -The position Of the wool
market shows no material change. the
tone being firm, but general business
squiet. Manufacturers are buying wool 10
cover orders that they have taken for
goods, but this is the extent of the pres
ents demand. Wherfa certain grade of
woof3k needed the purchase is made but
noTdsNfES yet disposed to stock ahead with
the fa$ material The market is in good
shape tosmeet the present demand Sup
plieSs purchased in the West are coming
forward freely, and this makes gosl'
stocks to choose from. The fact that
there is a shortage in the clip compared
with last year is not apparent at present.
and it will not be until present stocks
become more broken that this shortage
will be felt a buyer now has little dif-
ficulty in finding the woods that he may
need, and when he finds what he wants
the purchase is made at ruling rates. =

Senator Clay declares the interview
in which he was represented as having
some difficulty to keep from swearing
about Mr.. Bryan and as asserting that
the Georgia delegation to the next
Democratic national convention would
support the candidacy of Senator Cor
man Of Maryland. to be an outrageous
misrepresentation. Mr.. Clay evidently
does not like the idea Of being paraded
b. fore the public as a profane man, or
as being belligerently active at this
time in the choice Of presidential
candidate. Mr.. Clay had rather rest
with serenity upon the top rail of the
fence for while longer, before getting
into any mans procession. At the
same time it is certain that he will get
down eventually, and that, too, as a
supporter of Mr.. German.

arena sink toinsigpificance when com
pared with the horrible atrocities COM
mitted by the Turkish troops in this
Goth century, and nations which pre-
tend to be dominated by the Christian
religion look on with selfish Indifference
with little protest and no interference.
Evidently the millennium is still long
ways off.

The Floral Tributes.

The casket, in fact the whole room
was filled with beautiful flowers of the
costliest variety Could the sightIess
eyes have opened and viewed the mag
nificent spectacle what a satisfaction
il might have BEEN for he was one to
appreciate a kindness. But alas. the
tributes of affection and friendship
came too late. What did it matter TO
him then, whether flowers or thorns
were scattered over his casket. Whv
one kind word of encouragement. one
friendly hand grasp, with an accom-
ranying "Well, old boy, how're var
coming? Keep a stiff upper lip, old
man, you're all right" or something of
that sort, just to remind him that he
did have a friend in the world, would
have counted more to him than millions
Of flowers after the eye had closed for
ever the heart had ceased throbbing
and the word of censure or praise fell
on eternally dumb ears and alike un-
needed. What mockery, all these post
norton floral tributes in many cases.
Why take this particular case for in
stance. One little tiny field flower
bearing with it the sincere good will
and true friendliness of the giver, kind
~ rendered when he was wrestling with
Il hard and cruel fate, would have been
appreciated by that poor fellow oh. so
much. Aye, it would have counted to
him more than Il million dollars worth
Of the most beautiful flowers that ever
tkrived in a hot house, sent with the
customary cold address card, for his
caSket.
