Present Prices

These changes represent the addition Of
over 100000 to the market value of the
properties specihed-and this largely be-
cause they were able, through combined
control of a necessary of life, not only to
pass along the costs OF the strike and its
settlement to coal consumers, but to make
a further addition to the price OF coal on
their own account. II comparison is made
with the lowest prices of the strike period
the addition to the value Of these properd
ties would approach 100000.
The coal roads can easily stand anotheE
strike settlement of that sort, but the case
OF the coal consumer is different. IEis now
the public's turn to have a strike-one
which will either break up this mighty
combination of common carriers illegiti1
mately engaged in coal mining, or bringing
the monopoly under close public regula-
ton. which will fix prices according TO some
other standard than what the people can
be made to pay.

SLOW PROGRESS AT PANAMA.

The chairman Of the Canal commits
sion, after visit to Panama to look into
conditions there, has given out some
information which is chiefly interesting
10 the American public in showing that
progress on the canal is slow and that
great deal OF preparation is yet neces-
sary before much can be done in the
way Of construction. He points out that
the care Of 10000 employees must have
precedence over the actual work of dig
ging and how long it will take TO pro-
vide this he does not say, but in view
of the fact that the somewhat difficult
task of preparation has already been
going on for a year and a half 1t will
probably require that much more time

the meanwhile been some digging done,
but so far as appears this has not con-
tributed to any important extent to the
actual work OF construction.

accomplished there has Eeen expended

the first appropriation by congress for
canal construction will be exhausted by

Little Rock, April b.-Senator James H. Berry, who was in the city yesterday, was reticent III discussing his plans for his cam paign for renomination, which IS expected to open within q short time. He declared that his only object in visiting Little Rock at the present time was to meet his friends, and he declined to make any statement in regard to his plans.
 T am here simply to meet my old friends and especially the members of the legislature. he said. He declined to say when he expected to open his campaign, stating that he did not care to talk for publication at this time. He remained in the city last night. Senator Berry was visitor to the house of representatives yester- day morning and was given an ovation, which continued several minutes. He entered the hall while the roll was being called on the passage of bill, and the roll call was suspended. He finally responded to the cheers with a short address, in which he said that no words could eX- press his qualification at the kindly reception. He said that II was not time nor place when he should attempt to make d speech, that he was not here to instruct the legislators, but on the other hand had always deem- ed 1t privilege to receive instruc- tions from them. Senator Berry recalled the legislature of 1S66, during which he served and was the youngest member, and in 1878, during which he said twenty-nine democrats sat for four months and thwarted the designs of the earpet-baggers.

There IS bird called the cue koo which builds no nest of its own, but lays its eggs in the nest of other birds to be matched by them, thus sharing the benefits of the time. care and labor of the other birds, but contributing nothing in return. In every com munity there are human euckoos, who reap all the benefit and pro- fit of the labor and foresight of other men, and yet bear none of the burden and expense. Men who will not assist any public en- terprise; but are most clamorous for the benefits 1t eonfers; men who will not spend cent to ad- vertise their town, not even the line of goods they carry. but who loudly contend for large share of the business which the brains, prudence. generosity and money of their more liberal competitors have created. Its the same prin- ciple-lay1ng their eggs Tn other nests. Another point; The ques- tion has a moral aspect, undoubt- edly: The bird gets something for nothing and the man designs to do the same thing, which is the motive of the gambler and a tentative violation of the spirit of the eighth commandment. Is there an analogy between the habit of the cuckoo bird and the disposition of many men to reap where they have not sown, to gather where they have not strewn? Are you of the class, brother riding your competitors and neighbors into conditions you in no way contributed to create? Lay III your own nest and hatch out your own benefits. .-EX.
