much. The present price of coal is Sc
we're enough for the well-to-do citizen

SITUATION WILL BE WORSE.
Officials Say Miners Are Responsible
for Present Shortace.

New York, Jan. 1.-The expressed
belief of representatives OF the coal
carrying companies and coal dealers is
that for the next three days the coal
situation will be acute all over the
country. A representative OF the coal
department Of the Delaware, L.acka-
wanna and Western railroad said: The
miners clamored for public sentiment
while they We're on strike, and through
public sentiment they got contributions
from all over the country to support
them while in idleness. Now the public
can scramble for coal as it likes or do
without it so far as the miners care"

them this time, to the county in
which the candidates reside. In
other words, under the rule
Chickasaw and POntotoc counties
are entitled this time to name the
two senators who shall represent
these two counties and Calhoun,
all three Of which are in one sena-
torial district. Four out Of the
five candidates favored the plan
adopted. This has been the order
since this district has been nOmi-
mating by primary elections. The
committee adjourned sine die.
The attitude Of the Republican
editorial association of New York,
as recently expressed, in regard
to cutting down the representation
of the Southern states which de-
cline to permit the negroes to
vote, is the merest cant. In the
first place the New York editors
do not know what they are talking
about when they attempt to dis
cuss the suffrage question Of the
South, and secondly, they will not
be able to influence congress to
take any rash steps in the matter.
All this old straw was threshed
over years ago, when the South
was in much poorer condition to
make good than it is today.
When the old force bill was before
congress, at the instance Of some
OF the eastern cranks and ianat.
les, the South was practically
helpless, because the negroes we're
then voting in every state. But
at that time the intelligent West
came to the assistance of the
South, and congress was persuad
ed to kill the infamous measure.
The West is not changing on this
issue further than to become
more and more convinced that the
eniranchisement Of the negro was g
mistake in the beginning. 1t il
not going to be q party to intimi'
date the Southern people or any
other section Of this great coun'
try. But If the worst should
come and the representation o.
the South should be cut in two
