The coal question came to be
an all absorbing one in Chicago
a short time ago, when a scarcity
commenced to be felt, and the
coal operators we're charged
with holding back supplies.
The attorney general of the state
and city general are making
ready to prosecute the conspir-
ators. The Chicago Inter Ocean
of the 9TH inst. gives the follow
ing as developments of the stu
alton in the city:
Evidence of a criminal character
against coal operators charged with
holding back fuel from the public is
to be presented to States Attorney
Deneen today by the Hi nois Manu-
f%acturer's association.
Special grand jury to summon coal
operators with a view of returning
indictments against them will probab-
ly be called before the end OF the
week.
Some big coal operators reported
TO have left the city rather than face
prosecution, others defy public clamor
for relief.
Wide spread suffering said to exist
among poor through inability to get
coal. Pitiable cases reported. Priv
ate aid given.
Elevator service curtailed in big
office buildings by lack of coal. In
some buildings elevator service and
heating plants may have to be shut
down entirely.
Orders of county agent for coal for
poor not honored by some dealers.
County commissioners appealed to.
Drastic measures to be taken to force
dealers to honor these orders.
Many factories report to be about
to close, thus throwing thousands of
workman out of employment.
Committee OF five appointed by Vice
President Eckhart of the Illinois Man
ufacterers' association to push prose-
cutions of alleged coal conspirators.
Meeting of this committee to be held
today at the Grand Pacific hotal.
Attorney General Hamlin to come to
Chicago today to continue investiga-
ton into alleged illegal combination
of coal men. Aldermanic committee
to confer with him and then submit
evidence to States Attorney Deneen.
''Forestalling the market to be the
criminal charge brought against the
coal men before the proposed special
grand jury. Jail sentence and a fine
is the penalty for this crime.
City to seize and confiscate coal if
necessary to keep water supply un-
impaired. Indications are that city
and school supply will not run short.
Small dealers to hold meeting today
to devise means for getting coal for
their customers.

1t was the intention of Justice
Shuas to offer his resignation to
the president on January 1st,

the act until the following. month.
The Philippines will lose in
Judge Taft an able and excellent
executive officer, while it may
be said that the Supreme Court

In 1894, under the Clevlaud
low tariff administration, bank
clearings had fallen to 45 billion
dollars. In 1902 they had in
creased to 115 billion dollars.
Bank clearings represent over
95 per cent. of the business
transactions of the country,
and this tells it's own tale.

Mr.. Bryan is making himself
somewhat ridiculous by going
to Mexico and telling the people
what a mistake they will make
by adopting the gold standard.
The failure of all his predictions
in his own country as to what
would happen if free silver were
not adopted as a standard, will
scarcely tend to place him ia the
position of an hopored prophet
in a foreign land. The Mexican
states man, while treating Mr..
Bryan with distinguished cour-
tesy, are doubtless smiling in
in their sleeves at the gratui-
tous advice of the discomfitted
anddiscarded Democratic leader.

Of a mans religion than the valua-
ton he places upon his property at

all other classes of personal property
are deprecated in like manner. And
yet everyone SENS to be engaged in
this scheme of differentiation and
those who would fight were they
charged with having forsworn them
selves, swear to the true valuation of
their property as being a sum which
they would scorn were it offered
them. no real results of benefit to
the people come from this, nor the
taxpayers least of all derive any pc
cunlary benefit thereIrom. A certain
sum must be realized from taxation

not vet finished planting cotton, and
on the whole the condition of this
crop is extremely backward. No
tobacco was transplanted this week
for lack of seasons, except by a few
farmers who watered plants after set
ting: plants in beds are deteriorating
or becoming o~vergrown; a large por-
ton of the crop remains to be set;
tobacco in fields is doing only fairly
well. Winter wheat and oats have
improved but slightly; heads are
forming low; spring oats are not do
ing well. Planting peanuts has ad-
vanced rapidly and in some places
they are up to good stands. Irish
potatoes are fine but begin to need
rain; setting out sweet potato slips
continues slowly. Gardens are not
improving much. Prospects continue
favorable for apples, though the fruit
IS falling considerably. Pastures are
failing. The shipments of straw
berries are now diminishing and the

The Farmers Day.

This IS the farmers day. Every
thing that can be grown on the farm
is bringing high prices and there
is a market, especially IN the cotton
milling communities for everything
that he brings to town. With cotton
bringing 10 cents and pork, beef and
poultry correspondingly high, the
farmer ought to be doing better than
the merchant and he doubtless is in.
a good many cases. His stock in
trade is by no means confined to the
articles named, for he can get good
prices for his corn and wheat, hay,
fodder, grass and all kinds of g
tables. Even the modest turnip
green, or salad, sells readily at 10
cents a handful, where a few years
ago a market basket full would go at
that price. The farmer with poul-
try, butter and eggs can laugh at the
gold miner. A big crop of spring
chickens this year will start a modest
bank account. It-can be said that
the farmer, at all events, is faring
better than the manufacturer, for
the talk of the campaign orator that
the mill man is making all the money
is-simply talk. Just the reverse is
true. With cotton selling at it's pres
ent high price it is close shaving
for the cotton manufacturer. He is
now in a position similar to that of
the farmer when he had to sell his
cotton at the cost of production.
There is very little money in cotton
manufacturing at the present time
Outside of the iron and steel mills,
upon which a demand is made for
material to go into new territory be-
ing developed, nearly all classes of
manufacturers are having a COM
paratively dull time, but with the
farmer in a prosperous condition the
country is bound to be prosperous.
The farming prospect for the pres
ent year is one of the most encourag-
ing on record from the standpoint
of the state of the market, for the
indications are that generally good
prices will prevail. The rains have
retarded early spring work, but the
farmers have started much later in
the season and made big crops and
there is no reason yet to predict a
shortage this year. The cotton mill
settlements of Charlotte are of much
benefit to the Mecklenburg farmer,
as they give him a market for every
thing that he a produce and enable
him to turn some products for which
there was formerly no market into
productive channels. Charlotte af-
fords the farmer a big market. Con-
ditions have so changed in the past
few years that what he needs to
guard against just now is under
production. There is no longer any
danger of what was formerly known
as over-production. With an eager
market and splendid facilities for
reaching it, the condition of the
Mecklenburg farmer must be regard
