. RESOLUTION GOES OVER.
Tariff on Coal Again Discussed in the
Senate.

Washington, Jan. latter routine
business in the senate the Vest resolu
ton, instructing the committee on
finance to prepare and report bill
removing the duty on anthracite coal,
was considered.
Mr.. Vest said there is nothing in the
resolution that the finance committee
can furnish light upon, and, therefore,
he could not see the necessity of Mr..
Aldrich's motion to refer the resolution
to the finance committee. "This is
no longer a partisan question: said
he, "but a question of absolute human
ity." is '...a -.-..-.-...
We are not on the verge of a crisis
in regard to coal, he said, but we are
actually in it. Women and children
have been frozen to death, and his
only solicitude was to find remedy
for this disgraceful and outrageous
condition of affairs. Az
He then said that all he wanted was
for every senator to put himself on
record. He criticised the Dingley tariff
law and said there was no more chance
today, in his judgment, to reduce
single duty in the Dingley act than
for him to carry off the capitol build
ing on his shoulders. If it was ques-
ton of raising money for the next cam
paign for president, that was the end
of the discussion.
The resolution went over and Mr..
Hoar addressed the senate upon his
antitrust bill.

Effect of Rural Free Delivery or
Road Improvement.

Effect of Rural Free Delivery on
Road Improvement.
The good roads question is likely to
be brought home to some sections OF
the country in a practical manner.
The Post Office Department has been
deludged with complaints from rural
mail carriers about the roads on the
routes, many during the wet and snowy
seasons are impossible or nearly SO.
It has always been the Governments
policy to Withhold or abolish city de-
livery In towns which let their side
walks fall into decay. 1t is now pro-
posed to apply the same principle to
rural delivery and to refuse to estab-
lish, or abolish, routes along roads
which are not kept up. Such policy
will certainly have salutary effect.
Where rural delivery has been tried
it's benefciaries will not readily dis
pense with it, even at the expenditure
of considerable time and labor. Then
any intelligent work done on the road
rebounds to the farmers own benefit.

DR.. LW. Babcock won the re-
publican caucus endorsement for
speaker of the Minnesota house OF
representatives by the very decisive
vote of Sc to 33 for L. I'll. johnson,
and when the Legislature convened
he was elected. So ended one OF
the fercest struggles for organizing
the house ever witnessed In the
state. The doughty Doctor won
his nomination at the polls at the
end of bitter and very personal
campaign against odds--the only
one of the three candidates on the
ticket with him who was nominal
ed. His fight for speaker was a
great victory. Misrepresentation
and official pressure were brought
to bear, but it failed. If the. Doc
tor will make as good a speaker as
he is fighter the state need not re-
greet his election.

SHOTGUN
Prescriptions

We suppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle of the so-called
"shot-gun prescriptions" which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun pre-
scriptions was to put into a medi-
cine a large number of different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
of them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee does the same.
This medicine is called Vinol. 1t
is the best thing we know for rum
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people - in
fact, it is a safe, pleasant, reliable
tonic and RECONSTRUCTION.
1t is not scattering "shot-gun
prescription" but it goes straight
to the mark, and has cured so
many people right here in town,
that it gives us confidence to
sell it on an absolute guarantee,
as follows: If you use bottle and
it does not help you, we'll give
you your money back without a
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it so boldly if we had not seen it
succeed in ninety-eight out of every
/, one hundred cases.

HEARINGS ARE RESUMED.
Coal Strike Commission in Session al
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Jan. 7.-After a recess
over the holidays the anthracite coal
strike commission has resumed its
work of hearing the nonunion mems
side Of the controversy in the great in
dustrial war in the anthracite coal re-
gions during the past year. The SEES
sions of the commission in this city are
being held in the United States cir
cult court room in the federal building
and it is expected that fully month
will be occupied in taking the testi-
mony of the nonunion men, the coal
operators and the mine workers in re-
buttal.
The session began at II o'clock. The
courtroom was we'll filled when the
commissioners filed in and took their
seats. All the prominent attorneys
were present excepting c. c. Darrow,
leading counsel for the miners, who
was delayed in the West. ..-...r
The first business brought up was
the presentation by their counsel of
the wage statement of several of the
small Independent coal companies in
the Hazleton region.
John J. Williams, mining engineer,
employed by the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Coal company, was the first wit
ness. He told how he was set upon
and beaten while on his way to work
but he could not swear that the strik-
ers committed the assault.
Sheriff Schadt of Lackawanna coun-
sty gave in detail his experiences dur
ing the strike and finally his call
upon Governor Stone for assistance.
The sheriff said that President Mitch
ell had several times assisted him in
preventing trouble.
President Mitchell cross-examined
Sheriff Schadt and the latter admitted
that he had employed about fifty depu-
ties which the coal companies had
paid for. He would not say that a
general state of lawlessness prevailed
In the county, but reign of terror ex-
listed in some localities.
! General Wilson asked the sheriff
why the county did not pay the depu-
ties, and counsel for the witness ex-
planned that it was the law in Pennsyl.
yania that the company pay the cost
for protection. ..,.
Chairman Gray, evidently surprised
at the statement, said: .....
81 am not familiar with such an un-
American law. When the county or the
state relinquishes the duty of main
tanning order, protecting life and keep
ing the peace, then matters are reach.

bates by Common Carriers and to
Get After Concerns Who Fatten on
Such Rebates-Cutting of Prices to
WantonIy Destroy All Competition
Should Also Be Prohibited.

Should Also Be Prohibited.
Washington, Jan. 7.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox has addressed identical let
tiers to Senator Hoar, chairman of the
senate judiciary committee and Repre-
sentative Littleield, chairman of the
subcommittee of the house judiciary
committee, giving his views on the
subject of trusts. These letters are in
reply to communications sent him by
Senator Hoar and Mr.. Lfttlefield, ask
ing the views of Mr.. Knox. The letters
embrace three subjects, the questions
which have been decided by the courts.
the questions which are pending in the
courts and suggestions respecting fur
Their legislation.
Mr.. Knox suggests legislation direct
ed against those who give and receive
advantages enabling discrimination in
prices as against competitors, this to
take the form of penaliZing the trans
portation of goods, and federal courts
should be given the power to restrain
such transportation. He says the
present law is not sufficient to meet
existing conditions. The operation of
any law on the subject, he thinks,
should be limited to common carriers
subject to the act to regulate COM
merce.
To Reach Other Corporations.
An additional provision should be
made, he says, to reach corporations,
combinations and associations which
produce and manufacture wholly with
in a state, but whose products or sales
enter into interstate commerce. 1t
should relate, first, to such concerns as
fatten on rebates in transportation,
and, second to concerns which sell be-
low the general price of commodity
or wanto1ly seek to destroy competi-
ton.
A comprehensive plan should be
framed to enable the government to
get at all the facts bearing upon the
organization and practices of con-
Germs engaged in interstate and for
eign commerce essential to full TN
derstanding and to compel observa-
ton of the law. ..
He recommends commission to aid
in carrying out the act of July 2, 1890,
into the operations of corporations and
combinations, with authority to make
such inquiries and have power to re-
quire reports from them and their Of
ficers.
No person should be excused from
producing books, contracts, etc., in
courts. Continuing, Mr.. Knox says:
Legislation to correct trust abuses
should be developed with great care
for it is not nearly so important to act
quickly as to act wisely
He recommends legislation to hurry
final decision in cases now pending
and which may be raised under the
antitrust law.

ANOTHER COAL STRIKE.
Pocahontas Miners Demand Increase
of SO Cents a Ton.

Chicago, Jan. THE seriousness of
the local coal situation was added to
during the day when word was re-

Der of Pocahontas miners threaten to
go on strike if they are not granted
an increase of so cents ton
The information came from Casner,
Curran and Bullitt, who practically
control the whole Pocahontas output.
The dealers were notified they must

URGED BY STONE
GOVERNOR or PENNSYLVANIA
RECOMMENDS COMPULSORY
ARBITRATION LAW.
SAYS IT is CONSTITUTIONAL

Strikes Should Be Looked Upon as In.
furious to the Public, Harmful to
Society and Destructive to Life and
Property and Legislation Should Be
Enacted Providing for Their Prompt
Settlement as Soon as They Occur.
Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. Tin his mes
sage to the legislature Governor Stone
devotes considerable space to the re-
cent anthracite coal strike. He says
the strike of the anthracite miners
and their associate worKmen was the
most important and farreaching event
of it's kind that ever occurred in the
state, and that the expenses incurred
by the state in connection with the dis
turbance caused by the strike will ex-
coed s1.0OO,O00.
The governor urges the passage of a
law to prevent future labor disturb
ances, as follows:
I'm my judgment a compulsory ar
bitration law could and should be
passed for the settlement of Difficult
ties between employer and employe.
Such a law is entirely constitutional
and feasible from a police standpoint,
looking upon strikes as injurious to
the public, harmful to society and de-
structive to life and property. They
are generally settled after all harm
has been done. Why should they not
be settled before the harm is done and
before large losses occur to life and
property? We should recognize strikes
as existing evils and as dangerous to
the public good, and, while mindful of
the rights of both employer and en-
ploye, adjust them from higher stand
point; namely, for the good of society,
the preservation of public peace and
life and property. When large strike
is settled we delude ourselves with the
thought that no more will occur. We
should contemplate them as likely to
again occur with the same results as
in the past. Without criticising en-
ployers or employees, without blaming
either, we should so legislate as to pre-
vent the recurrence of these disturb
ances."
