In this time of high prices they are cheering us by telling us that from now on we shall have to. pay more for coal. The figures for the coal production for 1903 in this country indicate that our coal wont last forever. They are enor- nous Last year s5s,421,s11 short tons were dug out, an increase over the output of the preceding year of 57,- 800, ,OO0 tons The production of 1903 was nearly double that of 1s93 and more than three times the output of 1883. The increase in production in 1903 over 1902 was equal to the total production of all kinds of coal in 1878, only twenty five years ago. Large and significant as was the increase in the amount of coal produced, the increase in the value of the product was still more noticea- ble. The value of the coal product at the mines in 1903 amounted to $506,- 19o,733, which, compared with the value
 
 of the output in 1902 ($3e7, ,032, ,o69), shows an increase of s1s9, ,15S,e44, or nearly sS per cent. The percentage of increase, in value was almost exactly double that of the increase in produc- ton. +.8 s-e5 %as5.
 It is stated that if the entire produce ton of coal in this country in 1903 was loaded on freight cars with a capacity of thirty tons each, the trains contain ing it would encirele the globe at the equator about three and one-third times. If the entire production were loaded on freight cars in one day, the trains would occupy one-quarter of the entire railroad trackage of the United States. Taking an average of thirty

NOT VnRY GooD rREaTMENT

The talk is that Russia will soon offer a large field for American enterprise, but there will have to be some changes there before American enterprise can feel safe in it's operations. The Rus sian government hasn't been good to some American enterprises, The West |inghouse Airbrake Company was in veigled, by means of glowing promises, to erect large works in St, Petersburg. They were solennly assured of a mon opoly of their air brakes on all the Russian railroads. The works were built, and two thousand American me chanics, engineers and others were in stalled. Soon, however, Russia indue- ed an American competitor, by like promises. to erect similar large works in Moscow. Thus, competition having been secured, the Westinghouse people and their competitors had to underbid each other. Next Russia insisted on and gradually enforced the discharge of all the Americans employed in the two works. The Singer Sewing Machine Company was treated to a similar dose of Russian duplicity. To-day the enor- nous factory built by them near Mini Noygorod, where fourteen thousand persons are employed, has passed en- tirely into Russian hands; there is not a single American left to tell the tale.
 When the Japanese and the Russian revolutionists have taught Russia how to behave there may then be a better chance in that country for United States money and United States brains.

TWO VIEWS OF TAGGART.
New Chairman of Democratic Commit tee Weighed in the Balance.

New Chairman of Democratic Commit
 tee Weighed in the Balance
 The democratic national committee does not regard the approaching cam paign very seriously; it estimates it at useful to the party which he does the the Tom Taggart size-that is to say, 1t concludes that the election of Judge Parker to the presidency and the re- turn of the democratic party to nation- al ascendency is matter ranking in importance with the election of an au- ditor for Marion county, Ind, or. say, a mayor of the city of Indianapolis. Those feats scarcely remarkable in themselves, hardly heretofore eonsid- cred as marking man for national leadership of q party-Tom Taggart has performed. He has never done anything bigger. Never trusted with the management of a state campaign, those contests in Indiana in which his somewhat primitive ideas were allowed to influence the methods employed by his party have always ended in disas- ter.
 A good fellow, a prime mixer, an accomplished though rather. uncouth politician of the practical type, abso- lutely without conception of large poiit- ical principles, and a stranger to the idea that any class of voters is swayed by them; unvisited by a notion of the necessity of legitimate appeal to the intelligence of the electorate; his politi- cal strategy exhausted in the arts enl-# ployed by petty bosses for the purchase and delivery of the commodity in which they dealt Tom Taggart is a man who, in a station and calling adapted to his @accoppi iishnnent might be extremely honor to associate himself with That station is not at the head of the nation- al committee.
 A mysterious perversity, curious Ipredilectien toward the wrong thing, resides somewhere iii democratic eour- .cils. Perhaps 1t is inherent in democ- racy in the larger sense. This year the party has a good atform and an ,ad- mirable candidate; cleaned, rejuvena- ted, fitted to resume it's worthy place in the nation, it is a pity that it's destiny in any degree should have been con- #mitted to a Taggart.

Everybody can't get rich off of An gora, goats or Angora cats, even If they follow the printed direction. Awhile ago beautiful tables of figures were published to show that a bunch of An gora goats would more than pay their way with the sflken f1eeces taken from their bodies, and that the increase would be so rapid that the nultiplica- ton of the Belgian hare must seem small in comparison. One of the An gora. goat faddists was c. D. Walker. Of Atchison. Kansas. Three years ago he purchased five hundred of the anil mals. According to the tables he should have had upwards of three thousand by this time. The other day, however, he. sold the entire bunch and they counted out something less than two hundred. And MT. Walker fatly refuses to tell how much he spent in carrying the ex- pertinent along.

There are three roads which lead from
health to consumption. Over one OF
these roads pass all of that great multi

consumption. Each route begins with
health and happiness and ends with dis
ease and death.
