Good Advice.

The following excellent advice is from
a Nevada exchange:
There is no reasonable excuse for a
man living in a town if he doesn't like
it. If you have no word of commenda-
ton to say for the town, its i%nstitu-
tons or its people, emigrate. You
won't stop the course of events by go
ing away, neither will your harping
cut any figure if you remain. The
dogs will play just as briskly, the fish
will bite just as well, and the pure air
and bright sunshine will have the same
health giving properties whether you
60 or remain.
Speak a good word for your neighbors
if you can; if you can't don't ever
lastingly enlarge on their faults. If
you have become thoroughly soul and
Disguised and cannot see any good in
your town move away; go somewhere
where things suit you.

Several people of Southern Nevada is
seriously considering a scheme of an
experimentalist of Goldfeld who be-
lieves he has at last hit upon a com
bination to make fuel briquettes from
cude ell and sagebrush. The inventor
of the b%riquette says they can be made
and retailed at the rate of 81 85 a ton,
as against $40 and SIS a cord for wood
and about $1S a ton for coal. Crude
oil can be laid down in Goldfeld at
about 81 rs a barrel, he estimates, and
with an unlimited supply of g~reasewood
and sagebrush upon the broad deserts
and also hills Of Southern Nevada, he
believes the b~riquettes can be made
and disposed of with great Gee
His plan is to crush the brush, after
being saturated with oil, into small
bricks, after which they could be stored
for months without loss of potency.
He has succeeded in interesting several
wealthy men in the scheme.

'The proceedings of the inter
state Commerce Commission, II
it's examination of some OF the
chief executive employees of the
Pennsylvania Railroad point
strongly not only to the existence
of a system of gross favoritisn
in the shipment of coal, but also
to methods of personal graft o!
bribery in procuring or facilltat
ing the grant of the favors at the
hands of subordinates.
"The testimony of General
Superintendent Creighton as well
as that of George W. Clarke, the
car distributor at Altoona, to-
gether with that Of the President
of the Jamison Coal and Coke
Company in its relations to the
Pitcairns, the one as the assist
ant ofPresident Cassatt, the other
as the train master at Pittsburgh,
show that the probe has already
begun to strike into vulnerable
spots.
"The presents of various kinds
which these men admit receiving
and those which they are alleged
to have received, furnish a clue
for getting down to the real bene-
ficiaries, in the background, of
the inequalities and discrimina-
tions which were practiced at
their instance and to their profit.
"The abuse of the executive
powers of the company war
rants early action on the part OF
the President of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, although
he is now absent from the coun-
try, and of the Board of Direct
ors. If they do not take the ac-
ton which may be expected, in
view of their own recent declara-
tions thatthe company was doing
business on fair terms to all Gus

one more reason why the Inter

ity will permit. ito the entire

Dover, May 17th.-The fifty-eight
delegates in attendance upon the Prohi.
bition State Convention, twenty-one
from New Castle, twenty-five from
Kent and fifteen from Sussex, threw long
harpoons into bribery and the Delaware
Legislature and the one with which they
punctnred the Legislature was afterward
1wrung and twisted.
With A. w. Lightbourne, of Middle
town, as chairman, aud Jefferson Cooper
of Cheswold, as secretary, the convention
adopted this platform, after enrolling al
the women present as voting delegates:
We believe that the traffic in intoxi
eating beverages is disgrace to Christian
civilization and political crime of un.
equaled enornlity and imperatively de.
mand for its suppression and legal pruhi.
btion by the State and the National Leg,
gislature.
tWe believe in the sanctity of the
ballot and that any infringements upon
its sacred rights by the use OF money OF
otherwise is treason to the State and
should consign any political party OF
candidate guilty Of it to defeat and dis
grace.
1--WE believe in the election OF President
aud United States Senators by direct vote
OF the people.
"We believe that citizenship should
not inhere in sex but in an intelligent
understanding of its duties and fnnc.
tions.
eve believe in the abolition Of the
fee system for all State and county Of
fees.
1--WE favor good roads, compulsory
education, good public schools and that
the schools in every district OF the state
shall be kept open the full ten months of
the year.
"We believe in arbitration as the best
method of settling disputes between labor
and capital as well as between nations and
commend President Roosevelt in his eff
forts in that direction.
owe look with alarm and adherence
upon the increase of the divorce evil and
pledge ourselves to such legislation as
shall as far as possible remedy this evil.
We believe in the initiative and referen-
dun in our State Government. We be-
lieve in the Christian Sabbath and favor
the enforcement of all laws for its obser-
vation and protection"
The platform hen arraigns both Demo-
crat and Republican parties and the Leg
isature, charging that ''periury and bri-
berry are indorsed and rewarded.

THE COST OF COAL

"While the strike of the coal
miners has been averted, it is
generally intimated that there
will be an advance in price to the
consumers and that the public
will be compelled to contribute
more literally to the Golfers of
the coal barons, says the 'Satur
day ReUielo. For the past ten
years there has been a gradual
increase until it amounts TO
twenty or twenty-five per cent.
more than decade ago. THERE'S
a probability that the operators
and mine owners will again apply
the pressure and exact further
tribute from a helpless and su-
pine public. The present inves-
tigation or inquiry into railroad
ownership of coal mines and the
alleged discrimination against in
dependent owners in respect to
the allotment of cars and unjust
rates, is not calculated to help
the public nor prevent the fur
ther increase of cost. To pro-
vide any relief from the present !
exorbitant exaction, something
more radical must be done. The
coal operators give as an excuse
for increasing the price, that
coal is becoming scarce and that
it costs more to mine it and for
ward it than formerly.
Scientific investigation de-
clares the first to be untrue and
statistics based on mathematical
calculation demonstrates that
the latter portion of the excuse
is without foundation. The
worlds coal supply is tigurative-
ly but scratched. There are bill
lions of tons yet untouched, not
only in this country, but in
Europe and Asia. China's un-
developed coal deposits are enor-
nous and it is said to be of
quality equal to the anthracite
mined in this country. If there
is danger of a scarcity of coal in
the United States there is an
abundant source from which to !
supply the deficiency. Let the
government rescind the duty on
imported coal and the commodity
will soon reach a normal level and
American coal barons will as sud-
denly discover that they can
mine and sell coal hereas cheaply
as it can be imported. 1t re-
mains to be seen Low long the
American peopl' will submit to a
species of robbery without pro- ,
test. The operators willcontinne
to keep on the imposition until
patience and forbearance are ex-
hausted.
