p00R ARE FREEZING IN CHICAGO.

According to the Chicago American tnele
are 200 GOO people in that city who ale suiier-
mo from the coal famne-many have frozen
to death.
The coal dealers have formed combine TO
advance the price and keep it up, and the poor
are unable to buy enough to keep them COM
Portable; many cannot buy at all. man VINO
&c able TO buv ton at time knows what he Is
getting. but many are obliged to buy pailful
at time, and these poor people pay at the
rate of $24 ton-this while coal is retailing
at 81 or So, in ton lots
"pailful'' of coal is almost as indefinite as
a "basket' of strawberries. Any observer
must see at glance that some of these pail
fulsn of coal doled out to the poor as favor
for from twelve to fifteen cents are really out
from twelve to fifteen pounds OF COAL some OF
which is shale and dirt.
Men who charge these pailful prices are
simply robbers of the poor and oppressors OF
the needy ard unfortunate. And this is not
the worst-they deceive their pitiful customers
at every step by not selling by weight
The Chicago American says: Here we
regard that sort of robbery with indifference.
Wei. il would seem that if the workingmen' S
unions would direct their powerful influence
toward securing the working classes against
the extortion of adulterated food, false measures
and bogus weights, they would do more tor
suffering humanity, and especially for the pro-
letariat, than in simply combining III spoiaolc
struggles with capital"
Mayor Harrison made an appeal Tor AID lor
the freezing people, and the first person to re.
spond was William R. Hearst publisher OF the
American, who gave 81 900 with which to BUY
coal. Mr.. Hearst, through his paper, took the
matter up in earnest, and raised $1,000 IN
few hours He then welt to the mines, pur-
chased coal, and, in short time, had twenty
FIVE cars of coal in Chicago for distribution
among the poor. More coal was ordered ana
more money was raised to pay for it.
Thus, great many needy people were as
sisted, but it was scarcely drop in the bucket.
There are over two months more OF winter,
and there is sure to be much suffering unless
the coal combine can be broken up.
A number of prominent men OF Chicago
have inaupurated fight on the combine, and
will carry the war to Washington. There IS
trouble ahead for the combine. 1t is to be
hoped the robbers will get their lust deserts.

REV. J. T. MCFARLAND, pastor OF the First
Methodist church of Topeka, was fined 500
for contempt OF court by Police Judge Magaw,
last Friday, because the reverend gentleman,
in open court criticized the judges treatment
of Mrs Carrie Nation, who had also been fined
Rev. Mcfarland boldly charged two policen en-
with perjury. 1t IS clearly evident that some
of Topeka's officials are in league with the
iointists of the city. Mrs. Nation is almost
constantly prosecuted by them. She is arrest
ed and fined on every pretext because she is
trying to rid the city OF its hell holes But
the ointists and drugstore saloon-keepers are
rarely disturbed. The action of these officials
is reprehensible, to say the last. These Off
Gals are disgrace mankind-a travesty on

This will be short contest, and will
not be doomed" to any great extent. The
season is unfavorable too-a great many
will stay out on account of hot weather.
But let us remind sagacious contestants
of this: The fewer the contestants, the
better the chances OF winning.
In many respects this is the most ia
vorable contest we have offered, and we
hope the reader of these lines will have
good luck. Nothing ventured, nothing
gained.
While The National Tribune Guessing
Contests are not as large as some that are
much advertised, the absolute fairness and
openness that have characterized them
have made them very popular. Fewer
people engage in these contests, therefore
the chances of winning are better than to
engage in contest in which many thou
sands take part.
This point is often overlooked.

Answers to Questions.

The term of this contest being short,
there will be little time for correspond
ence; therefore we will try to frame such
questions as we think will be asked, and
print the answers, as follows:
If send $40, or $40, hop many guesses
could / get and hop many couponsY For
$40 you would get 12S guesses, and ~
coupons. For $40 you would get double
256 guesses and 20 coupons, and so on.
After making the first SIS deal, can
make as many such deals as 1 please, being
alloned GA guesses for each dealt Yes.
For the credit l hare rith you and some
COUPONS | hare on hand can haze guesses
in this nc,o contest? No. 1t would be an
easy way for The National Tribune to
settle; but if we did this the present con-
test would not be the absolutely fair con-
test that we all like so much. We must
treat all alike. Cash deals are the only
kind of deals that secure guesses.
Do the Cents of the Treasury Receipts
hare to be guessed? Cents will be counted
in this contest, but guesses sent in with
out cents will be accepted.
Can / hare books for deal in this con,
testi No. Our book stock is low, and
yery soon we would disappoint many
friends by being unable to fill ORDERS
good reason to leave out books in this con
fest. The feature Of this contest Is tina
so many guesses are allowed for 80 deals
that tie guesses alone are worth tne
money. Giving coupons that are good tol
subscriptions and advertising simply pro
yides a way for those who will sell theH
of getting their money back-whethel
they win n prize or not.
