THE 4lRELlNes OF mAMMoN.

AS usual the republicans, in easy con.
troll of all departments of government, are
setting pampered wealth above shivering
flesh BY their dilatoriness and half.hearted
proposals on the coal tariff they will let the
winter pass without relief.
The house measure proposes to take the
tariff off coal for one year. the senate for
three months. II either measure becomes
a law 1t will be well along toward March
before it is effective,
Meanwhile the operators have broken
their agreements to hold down the price,
and in the small lots IN which anthracite
can be obtained by the poor it is costing
$40 a ton, and the coal roads are exactlng
such rates Of transportation that the com
modify can be shipped by water from Pitts
than by rail direct.
In the face of this outrageous robbery
by both operators and railways in spite
of the inconvenience and suffering of mil
lions of consumers and the consequent i'll
health Of thousands, congress hesitates lest
this granting Of emergency relief may in
some degree curtaiI the profits of protected
pets and lead 10 further abatement of the
tariff inlquity.
without these latest extortions of OPP
orators and railways, the congress ought to
have given the relief of tariff legislation
within ten days after assembling. With the
present state Of affairs the relief should
come by legislation under suspension OF
the rules in two days.
Instead the house has introduced bill
which must require days OF discussion. and
the senate is having "a hearing" which will
continue for several weeks.
Every member of the congress knows the
facts. None is so stupid as not to under
stand both the situation and the effect Of
delay
What must be thought Of the indifference,
not TO say the inhumanity Of the republican
majority: Free coal at this time could not
possibly deprive the operators of fair
profit, because demand Is greater than sup.

A Very Shallow Argument.
Indianapolis News.

Indianapolis News
Senator Aldrch's argument that the demo-
Gratis placed a duty Of 30 cents on coal in 1904
Is not effective Even though they did the act
not right, and it is surprising that the re-
publicaus should attempt 70 justify themselves
by quoting an authority In which they have al
ways professed to have little confidence Mr.
Vests assertion that the 4o-cent duty was a hold
up is undoubtedly correct, Al such duties are
hold-ups, whether imposed by democrats or re-
publicans The only difference is that it is a
little easier 10 hold UP the republicans than il is
the democrats because OF trained party opinion
and the Influence Of party members who are men
Of large commercial affairs.

Suppose newspaper man every
time he hears a man criticise him
or his paper in public, should
retailate by holding up to public
gaze the faults and shortcomings OF
said fault finder, what would be
the result? The editor may not
know it all, but he does not live
in a community long without
knowing a duced Sight more than
he publishes.-Bluegrass Clipper.

PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY.

Photography without lens would
seem at first glance to be impossible.
1t is SO generally understood that
for good work a good lens is neces-
sary that it is scarcely credible that
some of the fnest1pbOtOgraphy work
is obtained without the use of a
lens at all, merely by the aid of a
minute hole in the side of light
tight which is arranged to contain
a sensitive plate. But the practic-
ability of this method of photo
graphy is amply proved by the fine
specimens that accompany an ar
ticle on the subject, by Juan c.
Abel, in the May t'Delineator. One
of the distinct advantages of pinhoie
photography is the slight expense
incurred in apparatus; any kind of
Il light-tight box will suffice, pro-
vided it can be-opened to insert the
plate. Explicit directions for pro-
cedure are givess. III the article.

ELSEWHERE in this evenings
HERALD appears an article publish
ed by request of the Texas Worlds
Fair commission, from which it
appears that the comission has
decided TO make one more effort to
raise the necessary funds for state
exhibit at the St. Louis Worlds
Fair, by appealing to the people OF
the state for subscriptions. The
sum needed is only 100000, in
addition to the amount already
pledged, and it surely seems as If
the great majority of Texans should
have sufficient state pride to raise
that amount easily. If every person
in the state should give even FIVE
cents, much more than that amount
would be raised. The population Of
Texas according to the last census
was 3,04S,710. Hence, at 5 cents
cache, the sum of $152, 1850
would be raised. But there are, of
course very many, perhaps fully a
third of that numbe, who would
not contribute even that much.
Surprising, however, that half Of
the number should contribute one
dime each, the same sum would
be pledged. That the money requir-
ed could be gotten there can be no
doubt, provided the right person
takes hold of it in each community
The HERALD does not doubt that
Brownsville and this entire section
will do its share.
