Tho Price Of Coal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Coal mining bids fair to become very
nearly the leading industry in the United
States. Last year the output exceeded
S00.OOOOo0 tons. or over one-third Of the
worlds annual supply. and only per cent
Of this enormous output was exported.
When we consider the cost of production.
the retail prices charged for coal appear
excessive and unjust. The accessible loca-
ton Of the veins and the extensive use Of
machinery in the greatest mining districts
have reduced the cost of getting out coal
to very low figures. For instance, the
average is less than 81 ton In Alabama.
while for the whole United States the
average is not over $50 ton Most Of
the mining companies have the advantage
Of water transportation from mines 10 the
principal centres Of distribution. A ton OF
coal can be floated from Pittsburg TO New
Orleans for 70 cents. on the Great Lakes
cargoes can be carried for 1000 miles AT
the same cost. Railroad rates on coal
everywhere are very cheap. And yet tho
retail prices Of the commodity continue TO
grow higher each year There is no excuse
for the continual raise IN the price OF coal.
The most economical processes now at
tcndmining operations on account Of tho
extent and abundance OF the deposits
there is sufficient coal at hand for all big
cities, ana so to hold the consumer un
for top prices for this commodity is moth
ing short Of cxtortion.

The sea is n jovlal comrade;
He laughs wherever he goes;
His merriment shines in the dimpling
lines
That wrinkle his hale repose;
He lays himself down at the feet Of the
sun,
And shakes all over with glee;
And the broad backed pillows fall faint
on shore
In the mirth of the mighty sea.
But the wind is sad and restless,
And cursed with an inward pain:
You may bark as you will, by valley
or hill.
But you hear him still complain.
He walls on the barren mountains.
And shrielxs on the watery sea:
He sobs in the cedar. and means in the
pine.
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices:
And I know not which is best
The laughter that slips from the oceans
lips,
or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's a pang in al rejoicing.
A JOY in the heart Of pain;
And the wind that saddens. the sea
that gladdons,
Are singing the self-same strain.

divided strictly according to the party
classification Of the members. the Repub-

Democratic member the opposite way.
The questions before the Court are mat
tiers Of the law and evidence. The issue Is
one of the most vital that can be raised
under republican government. To blind
partisanship Il may seem TO be the win
ming OF an election but 70 intelligent citi-

one OF an honest return OF the decision OF
tho qualified voters The Judges are in
tcllgent citizens enough TO know that this
involves the reality Of democratic gov
eminent. But when they decide questions
on party lines II means that they are
letting party aims overshadow the great
public right. II is possible for Judges
TO honestly differ as TO what the law
and the evidence require. but when the
difference IS always according 10 the
party classification Il means that partl.
sanship is ruling the Bench. Party votes
in Congress or the Legislature are neces.

are manifestations OF the sort that de.
