SENATOR QUAY.

It seems probable that no man in
public life was more absolutely cor
rupt than Senator Quay, late Of Penn
sylvania.
He stopped at nothing to gain his
end, and when he controlled the judges
juries and courts of his State, no one
could put him in the penitentiary.
Boss Tweed in his palmy days
was a mere pigmy of corruption CON-
pared to Quay. His rascality were op-
en-, fragrant and shameless and he
Haunted his wrong doing IN the face Of
all the world.
He was absolutely worshiped by the
people of Pennsylvania and went to
grave beloved and respected-because
he had one great cardinal virtue il
their eyes, He was Republican.

These Coal Barons are cool lot,
and as insolent with all. President
Divine Right Baer of the Coal Trust
tells the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that the selling price of coal
Is not regulated by the cost of mining
and transportation but by what the
people can be made to pay for It..
"As long as there il a demand for all
the coal we can mine at the price we
ask, tt ere will be no reduction in the
cost to consumers. We shall hold up
the price Of coal just as long as the
people will pay for it." These self
appointed ministers of the Divine"
will " make no bones" of declaring
that they will practice all the extort.
ions the public will stand. That IS
a challenge the public will not long
hesitate to accept. Helpless as tn ~
have been hithertoo, they will find a
way to convince the coal trust tn 1t
they don't intend to stand it.

Chance for Miners.

It is proposed that there be held a
drilling contest at St. Louis, says the
Denver Mining Reporter, and we hope
the efforts now being exerted to that
end will be successful. If the manage
ment can see it's way to offer purs IS
in the amounts suggested lie $4,000 to
$4,000 it will bring together in the
competition the most expert drillers
in the United States and be an educa
tional object lesson to many thousands
of people who, although interested in
mining, have never visited the operat
ing mine.
