object to Lumber Rates.
Special to the Herald.

Chicago. Ill, Nov. 14.-Representa-
tive lumbermen of the West and
Northwest met in Chicago today to
confer with officials of the eastbound
roads regarding the proposed changes
in classification, by which lumber
products would be taxed a higher
freight rate than the plain lumber
Under the present tariffs there is one
rate for lumber in car lots, whether
it is in the rough or the product of
the planning mill. The roads now pro-
pose to charge all mixed cars at the
higher rate for lumber products. The
lumbermen are preparing to vigor-
ously protest against the increased
rate.

AN EvAsIyE ANSWER.

That Professor zuehIin. of whom something was said in these columns day or two ago. was recently asked: Granting that there were a compul- a0Ty distribution of weaith5 how long would man be able to live on his share of the spoilsg" and in his reply he declared that nc. one who has studied the question would suggest such q thing. ''Weaith," he said. is not meas ured by money. There is no wealth but life"
 That reply was certainly lodging the question, and the Professor must have known 1t. Wealth consists of money and property. and we suppose 1t would be possible to ascertain approximately the value of all of 1t. Then 1t would not be an impossible task to apportion 1t equally among all the people TO say that there is no wealth but life" was an evasion of the proposition, for no one can put fair money value on human life. The Professor is an art tul doager.
 But the question itself was not to NAS PVtAAe. NC hdNS hOt dt HdnQ the data to show the total wealth of all the people in the world. but if that value could be arrived at. reduced to dollars and equally divided among all the inhabitants of the earth the amount to each would not be large. and man could net subsist very long on his share of it. If he had no way of adding to 1t. or of earning anything he would soon be out of money.
 But that Is not the vital proposition. 1t is not how long man could live on his portion. but how long would the equality continue? Some men have faculty for getting rid of their money and other are equally good at aceumu- lating it. Men like Rockefeller, Car negie. Sage and others of great wealth could not have gathered so much of this worlds goods if they had not proven themselves better fnanciers than the majority of their fellow men are. If all the wealth of earth were equally divided the better fnanciers would at once begin to rake it into their eoffers and it would be the same old story. Some would become mill iionaires and some paupers. It is an idle discussion and Zueblins reply was a clear evasion.

It seems dtfficult f-f presumably we'll informed men to agree on the question of the future coal supply. We fre- quently see the statement from writers who are supposed to know what they are talking about. that a century or two will see the last of the coal. and though that might not affect the pres ent Inhabitants of earth they cannot avoid something of M feeling of sym pathy for those who will live in the far distant future But now we have an authoritative opinion from geoio- gists and others in England that there Is coal enough known to exist to sup- ply all demands for at least 1000 years.
 Whom shall we believe. if 1t is nee essary to put confidence in any of them? The fact is that there are two reasons for doubting the accuracy Of those who predict an early coal fam inc. and one of them lies in the fact that no man. scientist. geoIogist or other, can tell with any reasonable de- gree of certainty how much coal there Is now on. in or under the earth. If 1t were positively known that all the coal fields in existence have been dis covered and tested they could form some estimate of the length of time it might be expected to hold out, but there would be considerable GueEswork.

A NEW PAnTY.

The York tPa.) Dispatch is serious iy ruminating the possibility. if not the probability. of the organization of Lincoln Party which will eventu- ally supercede the Republican Party in the Union. As is well known there is a pretty strong organization iil Penn syIvania calling themselves Lincoln Republicans. who are fighting the Pen rose gang of corruption with some pros pect of success. But that is not all, as this item from The New York Trt- bune will show:
 The Lincoln Republican Club. which recently asked Mr. Winston Churchill to become a candidate for Governor on reform platform has now rudeiy ehei- lenged the existing order ana pnL al. rect to the voters within ana without the Republican Party the question whether or not that order shall be al- lowed to continue. The Republican or ganizatioH in New Hampshire IS there- by forced to decide whether 1t will ap- prove the reforms proposed and make them effeetIve through Legislation or will adopt a stand pat policy and measure strength with the progressive leaders and progressive sentiment
 The ferniation and success of new polItisaI party is not an unknown thing in the politics of this country The grand old Whig Party went down be- fore the undermining influences of Know Nottingham in the first place and of the steady growth and advance of the Abolition Party afterwards. Some of the old party's strongest and best men joined the Abolitionists. while oth- CTS went over to the Democrats and remained with them. The Abolition Party really ceased to have cause for existence when the war was over, but it's principles and policies were be- queathed to the later Republican orr ganlzation.
 Has the Republican Party done its work, and will 1t now be superseded by another, and probably better or ganization? ii has as far as lay in it's power carried out the policies of the earlier abelitionists, and now ex- ists only as the organ of the protect i've policy and through that as the pro- moter and protector of the trusts, and the party of graft, greed and favorit- ism. If the party had any usefulness it has oatiived it. and if it could be replaced by something better 1t would be a good thing for the country at large The Lincoln Republicans pro- claim themselves in favor of genuine reform looking to honesty in politics as we'll as in official life, wherein they are directly in opposition to the pres ent Republican organization. If the new should displace the old in those States which have long been at the mercy of the latter 1t would be good thing. Whether the new would finally fall into the path of the old Is another matter.

even then. for mines sometims run out unexpectedly, while others quite as un- expeetediy increase in richness as they go further into tho earth.
 But no one has right to assume that all the coal deposits of our globe are known. Unexpected discoveries have been made in recent years of coal in places where 1t was not supposed to exist. and more are likely to follow. miles of our earth's surface which arc as yet unexplored, and no one can say what science and research will bring to light. No one may say positively that the polar regions will forever re- main unexplored. or that they do not contain rich coal deposits.
 But there is another and well known reason why those who predict an early coal famine are mistaken, and that lies In the one word electricity. We do not certainly know that another and bet ter motive power than that will not be used in the future, but if no other shall be found that one is suficient to avert a coal famine As long as water runs and has weight. electricity can be gen- erated and used as a motive power without Wasting fuel of any kind. and 1t may be truthfully said that the pos abilities of this servant of man are in their infancy. Each day brings some thing new, and each day sees an ex- tension of electric power for all pur- poses. In great portion of the civ ilised world it is an unnecessary and unpardonable waste to use coal or wood to produce power for any purpose, and that fact becomes more apparent every day. In fact. the possibilities of eiec- tricity as a motive power are bound- less. and those who predict an early coal famine have no good ground for their opinions
