THE COAL DISTRESS.

Nnfavorable comment on the coal
shortage IN this city. The trade has
been very brisk and the dealers have
been kept busy, when not engaged In
shipping fuel IN answering questions
explaining to customers why they cam
not be Immediately supplied, and try
ing as best they could to respond 10 the
general requirements,
or course, all kinds OF fault has been
found with the dealers, the railroads
and everybody that could be held re-
sponsble for the lack OF the black dla-
monds. For some time II appeared as
though the trouble lay with the lack
OF cars on the railroads for freightlns
coal from the different beds where II IL
mined But close inquiry elicits the
fact that the primal cause OF the de-
fciency is due to shortage IN the ae-
tual supply. There Ii not enough coal
being mined to meet the demands Of
the consumers.
Railroad men say that they have all
the cars that are needed for hauling.
but they cannot get the coal to load up
with. 1t Is reported from authentic
sources that the mines are being
worked with the full capacity OF the
labor employed, but that the increase
OF population IN the western states mas
created demand that cannot be met.
Coal Is being used for household as
well as manufacturing purposes In the
West to "A much larger extent than
ever before. There has been an In
fiux OF settlers all along the Paolhc
slope, and the coal mines now In oper-
alton do not furnish Il sufficient supply
during the winter season.
This Is a little alarming In one sense
but very encouraging In another. Just
at the time when fuel Is most needed
to be cut short Is n great deprivation
But to know that tillable hand Is be-
ing taken up, and occupied, and cui-
tivated and that homes are greatly III

JAMES QUlN.
Reign of the Great Irish Actor In TN e
Eighteenth Century.

| Reign of the Great Irish Actor In tn e
| Eighteenth Century.
The son of an Irish baTrister. himself
intended for the bar, lack of means
and consciousness of ability sent Quin
on to the stage. He made his first
success in 1T20. when he persuaded
Christopher Rich to allow aim to APP
pear as FalStaff in The Merry Wives
of Windsor After Booths death he
advanced still further in public esteem
by what he modestly described on the
playbiIl as his attempt" to follow that
tragedian in his greatest part of Cato.
He so delighted the audience by his
attempt that after his delivery of the
line Thanks to the gods. my boy has
done his duty they cried: Booth out
done. Booth outdonew And after he
had spoken the then famous soliloquy
on the Immortality of the soul the en-
thusiaSm reached such Il pitch that in
answer to Il vOciferOus demand for an
encore Quin was obliged to repeat the
speech.
From this night Quin as an actor
reigned supreme for ten years. 1t was
Il solemn reign, dignitied, weiGhty, ira
ditional. He was unsurpassed in such
characters as Falstaf and Sir John
Brute, but in tragedy he did no more
than uphold with fine elOcution, pom
derouS majesty and rugged independ-
ence that solemn unreality of speech
and action which both in England and
France was then considered the APP
propTiate expression of tragic senti-
ment. AS in France lie Kahn was the
first To restore nature to tragic acting,
so did Garricll i'll England by similar
return to nature expose the dizziness,
the Iifelessness of the settled methods
of the actors of the type OF Quin. And
Quin had too much good sense not TO
see it himself, for rs Il man he was the
rather coarse embodiment of that rough
but ready witted. prejudiced but gen
erouS and warm hearted disposition,
which we admire and respect in Dr.
Johnson.
The few of Quin's sayings preserved
to Us almost make one regret that he
had no Boswell by his side. Lords and
bishops. clergy and gentry, all were
represented in the circles of Quin's
many friends. who delighted in his wit
and conversation. He could hold his
own in an argument with any man.
One instance must suffice. At some
gathering Bishop Warburton, dictate
rial and Overbearing. was arguing in
support Of royal preroGative. Quin said
he was a republican and thought that
perhaps even the execution of Charles
1. by his subjects might he justified.
"Aye," asked the indignant Warburton,
''by what law" BY all the laws he
had left them" answered Quin. The
shocked bishop then cited the wrath of
the divine judgment as visited upon the
regicides; they all. he said Though it
is not strictly true). had come to violent
ends. Il would not advise your lord
ship" said Quin, ito make use of that
inference, for if l am not mistaken that
was the case with the twelre apostles"
Horace Walpole greatly admired this
instance of the players readiness and
aptness of retort.-H. Il. Irving in Fort
nightly Review.

The democratic congressional cam
paign committee complains of lack
of funds. as usual, but the statement
comes from the similar republican com
mittes that 1t has money left over from
the last campaign. when the trusts and
insurance companies were bled so gen
orally 1t will not be as easy for the
republicans TO tap the corporations this
year; a coldness has come over them
in relation 10 the grand old party. So
the republican committee is in luck in
having corporation money left over
from two years ago. But even harden
ed campaigners in Doodle politics must
now feel a little twitching of consci-
ence in using left over insurance
money instead of returning it to the
policyholders who were betrayed by
their officials.

Eayoring the Banks.

Why does the administration issue
$50. 900. 900 of Panama canal bonds
when there is. according to the official
statement, s17O,O0O,O0O of available
cash in the treasury, of which over $50
600. 900 is in the favored banks and
not drawing interest?
Is the reason for the issue of bonds
because the banks require them to put
up as security for more money? The
fact that the taxpayers of the United
States will have to pay interest on this
new issue after July 20. does not hin
der a republican administration from
saddling the load on the people while
the banks go free
The game of finance as played by
the republicans is all one-sided and the
banks always get the best of it.

The World. Coal.

The total known coal production OF
the world is something like 100000, 900
tons per annum Experts state that
even at this rate of production there Is
sufficient coal to last for thousands of
years. Some faint idea can be gath
cred from these figures of the enor-
nous quantity of coal there is on this
planet. At the same time there is the
statement made by Sir Robert Ball
that all the coal on the earth would not
supply the suns heat for one-tenth of
