WANTS PUBLIC WEIGHERS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While the coal question is being discussed.
let us have something done all over the country
TO insure that these who buy ton Of coal shall
get it. In all my years of housekeeping l have
never~ilnown that the Ccal delivered OF full
weight. Ny memory is that in former years in
New-E England, where 1 spent my boyhood, there
was a public weigher, whose certificate must be
delivered with every ton Of coal and every cord Of
wood and through whom smaller purchases could
be tested. This ought to be provided for in the
government of every community. a prominent
official in New-York City, when was living there.
who purchased the coal for public institutions.
told me that a full ton of coal not furnished
except by dealer in the whole city 1t was
perfectly understood that the coal of short
weight. The whose coal understood to
be of full weight charged correspondngly high
price. 1t is amazing that such state of things
can exist all the country in connection with
the neCessaries of life, the regulation OF which
ought to be the very 4 B c OF government re-
member also that when in New-Y ork an inspector
nearly all of them short weight, but per
manent remedy was devised. 1t ought to be made

punished cheat the people in the necessaries OF
life, either in quantity or quality.

preferences and prejudices. The King also has
opinions about public policies, friendships for
prominent actors on the political stage, and pri-
Vate estimates of the efficiency and value of the
services rendered by the most conspicuous ser
wants OF the crown at home and abroad His
influence and the force of his example are very
great in the world OF rank and fashion. which

II is evident that the King cannot be deprived
OF opportunities for free action bv the settled
order OF constitutional practice His ministers
may be the responsible agents of crown admin
lstration under the supervision Of Parliament
but he stands apart from the groups of party
leaders on either side of Parliament and exer-
cises unique influence in facilitating solutions
OF foreign and imperial questions and in di-
recting diplomatic and domestic policies There
can be no safeguards against the irresponsible
action Of a sovereign who cannot be made ac-
countable to Parliament and is Indifferent to the
issues Of party politics and jealousies; and, hap
PLY, no protection has been required during the
early years OF the present reign. II it be true
that the hirg was eager to have peace in South
Africa even at the cost of another million for the
lighting burghers, that he is now personally
interested in the settlement Of the Irish land
question on the lines OF the recent conference
between representative landowners and the
champions of the tenants, there can be no
ground for complaint the part of his loyal
subjects. Either intervention in public affairs
would be a proof that, while personally ir-
responsible for his opinions and not under the
control OF Parliament, he was employing the
resources of his exalted station in a beneficial
way. TO promote peace and reconciliation Of
