Comnanv one of the largest indepen-

anthracite field, has refused absolutely

Time to mine coal and ship 1t to New
York II is said, and upon good au-
tbority that the plan OF the four big
companies is to reduce the available
SUNNY in the market by the shutdown,
and then boost the prices. UP to the
time of the strike in 1902 the big com
NAMES ruled the smaller producers with
rod of iron. When they ordered a
shutdown not pound Of coal would be
shipped during the prohibited period
Since the strike, however, the indePen-
dents have struck out for themselves,
and now refuse to take orders from the
trnst In this move the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company has taken the
lead. The trust of course does not take
kindly TO this show of spirit on the part
of the independents, as it takes from IL
the power to curtail the production at
TIA Measure. In retaliation it has re-
fused to supply cars to the independent
operators this week. The Lehigh Goal
and Navigation Company, ho"eVer'
owns its own railroad, and turns its cars
over to the Central Railroad of New
Jersey at Mauch Chunk for shipment to
New York. 1t also handles coal from
other independent producers, and Will
during the shutdown ship between ten
and twelve thousand tons OF domesuc
sizes to New York daily, thus tllllng I'D
mart at least the hole that will be made
in the market by the ourtailment by the
trust In this the Lehigh Company Is
to be commended, and the first duty OF
the interstate commerce commission
should be to prosecute the companies IN
the trnst for restricting trade.

REIGN OF TERROR.

Eight murders and ia hold-ups and
burglaries in the last 60 days is the ap-
paling record of crime in Chicago.
The city is under reign of terror. Con-
sentative men declare vigilance commit
tees must be organized and one or more
murderers and thugs lynched in order
to check the desperadoes. Present con-
ditions are declared intolerable. The
police department is so hOney-combed
with politics and its relations with law
breakers are alleged to be so close that
leading residents despairof reliefthrough
that quarter unless radical steps are taken
by the people for their own protection.
That the police force is too small to
properly patrol the city and its suburbs
is admitted, but the great trouble is that
many leutenants, captains, inspectors
and sergeants owe their positions not to
meritorious service, but to the political
influence of ward leaders, ward heelers,
gamblers, saloonkeepers, keepers of I'M
moral resorts, DO Dkmakers and Others
who hold that property is rightfully their
prey-rightfully theirs by means of theft
and the use of the revolver. Thousands
of peaceable citizens who never carried a
weapon before are now carrying arms
or seIf-protection. In many sections OF
the city women are afraid to venture out
after nightfall. There has been start
ling increase in the sale of firearms late
ly. That the sale has not been alto
gether to men of good character is un-
questionadly true. Leading men declar-
the glorifcation of criminals is respone
sible for much of the wave Of crime.

A BAD CONDITION of affairs must ex-
list in Chicago when the daily papers
urge people to shoot, and shoot to kill,
any nan who attempts to stop hearse.
The baseness of man who would inter
fere with funeral and show no respect
for the dead is truly distressing, and
such a man should be shown little con-
sideration, but really it would seem
that the authorities of the second largest
city in the United States might be able
to dispose of such persons. No wonder
many people are leaving Chicago and
giving up their business there.

nomination for President finds Senator
German to be the favorite. The Senator
is not only the favorite of the majority
OF the democrats in Congress but through

the nominee it is generally believed he
would be elected. This belief is shared
by many republicans who are candid
enough to give expression to their

AFFAIRS ON THE IsTHMUs.

Letters received from the eastern end
of the Isthmus report renewed activity
along the Colombian frontier and the
presence there of considerable body OF
troops. The writer's of the letters declare
that for the first time in their memory
the Colombian government is making an
attempt to build and repair the roads OF
that section. They assume that prepar-
atoms are being made for the passage OF
an army in the event Colombia decides
to attempt to regain Panama by a land
attack. According to Ell Povenir, a
newspaper published in Cartagena, Co
lombia intends to act promptly. In an
editorial the paper says Colombia vii
fight for the integrity of the country as
long as one cartridge remains and there
is drop of patriotic blood to be shed.
General Copoldo Triana, president of the
Municipal Council of Cali has sent a
message to the Minister of War at Bogota
in which be says: Indignation is gen.
eral in Cauca in consequence OF the
bluuders in Bogota, and not single
battalion could be organized there to
suppress the separation movement. If
the Government wishes to keep intact the
integrity of Colombia, instead of using
bayonets, it would do well to empower
commissions to carry out the work diplo-
maticaIly, offering freedom in the admin
stration of municipal affairs, which
does not exist, and civil and political
liberty. "

leader of the House, says: 81 DO mol
believe there has been a time IN
the past dozen years, when the demo-
cratic party was in better con-
dition to enter on campaign, or when
its prospects of winning the presidency
appeared brighter. A majority OF the
white people of the United States are
democrats and want to see democratic
principles triumph. Democrats are
now where they we're before the split on
the money question. There is no d.
vision of belief on the cardinal doctrines
of the partv." What Mr.. Richardson
saws is true and is believed by nearly
all the democrats in and out of Congress.
With no dissentions in the party and
with a determination to win, the demo-
Gratis can surely defeat Mr.. Roosevelt
