nearest approach to the Canal across the
Isthmus in magnitude and difficulty was
the cut through the hills which surround

More than two hundred years ago the

one hundred and ten million cubic yards

the Mexicans removed this dirt by hand,

Government by injunction, form of
government which has gradually grown
in extent in recent years, and which is
the favorite method of those who do
their utmost to defeat the ends Justice,
Of checkmating any move of organized
labor to enforce its demands for the
betterment of its condition, is about
on par with the system of justice dealt
out in despotic Russia, where the very
harshness of the laws and the ruling
officials are proving the empire undoing
The system finds much favor with those
who wish to obtain their selfish ends,
regardless of any merit or justice of their
cause, in that it does away with trial by
jury, prevents review of the facts by
higher courts, and abolishes indictments,
one becoming prisoner as the result OF
mere fling of charges by an attorney
and an order by judge. This is the
form of law which the trusts and favored
few always resort to in order to restrain
and defeat any move against them for
violations of which they are repeatedly
guilty.
There is no surer way of stripping the
judiciary of this usurped power than by
the referendum, system whereby the
people vote direct on public questions,
making it impossible for law.making
bodjes to override or disregard their
wishes, as the people retain final power
&er legislation through their right of
vote upon all measures before they can
become law.
Government by injunction, which year
RS year is growing worse, is the pro-
AWaehine rule and the most prac-
hod of defeating it and other
Kstems which have their

Chicago, January 22.-The wheat
market opened with May slightly
lower and July 1sc higher. Exten-
sive selling of the May option car
ried the price to net loss of Ac,
which was recovered later. July
held strong during the early session
and advanced to a net gain of 14c.
May corn was a shade to 1sc high
err at the opening, and the market
was strong throughout the session.
July corn was steady to 1sc higher,
with quiet trade.
Oats were steady and trade was
also comparatively light.
Provisions were strong with pork

SOFT COAL MAY
FALL IN PRICE
IF PRESENT WAVE OF WARM
WEATHER CONTINUES A
FEW DAYS.
RATE HAS ALREADY FALLEN
In Indianapolis Which May Effect
Local Markets-No Change In
Anthracite.

If there is continuation of the
warm weather, the price of soft coal
will probably break inside the next
three or four days, as at present the
demand, except for use under boil
ers of steam engines is almost moth
ing and the demand keeps up the
price.
Soft coal has been steady almost
all winter at from $3.50 to $500 per
ton, and the demand has been great
enough to enable the coal dealers to
charge this price, but warm wave
has already broken the price of soft
coal at indianapolis, where it can be
bought from fifty cents to ST. cheap
er than here. If coal can be pro-
cured cheaper in Indianapolis than
in Richmond, the large factories,
which consume the most coal, will
ship from there, since transporta-
ton facilities are good, and the re-
suit will be big break in the local
markets.
No change is anticipated in the
price Of Anthracite. This coal is re-
garded by the dealers as staple,
which can always be sold for about
the same price, and it would be use
less for them to sell at a cheaper
price when it costs as much at the
mines at all times as it does now.
There is also danger of strike in
the hard coal mines and this is plac-
ing the dealers on their guard. An
effort is being made by most of them
to get as much Anthracite on hand
as possible, for in case of a strike,
the mines may be closed for months
and the price would, in that in
stance, rise to extreme heights. I'm
til the conference in Indianapolis is
over, it will not be known what
steps the miners and employers will
take to settle the matter.
There is but little wood being sold
in the local market owing to the
fact that one dollars worth of coal
will last twice as long and give more
heat than wood twice that amount
Wood is hard to buy, and sells at re.
tail for $3.50 per cord.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Indianapolis, January Pre-
ceipts, $500 hogs, 600 cattle and so
sheep, against 3,406 hogs and 563
cattle a week ago and 2,059 hogs,
446 cattle and 65 sheep year ago.
Receipts of hogs were not quite as
large as a week ago, but were a fair
average for Monday. The standard
Of quality and fat was possibly not
up to that on Saturday. Local pack
ers were about the only buyers, but
the supply was only about equal to
their requirements, and there was an
active market at steady to strong
prices compared with Saturday. De-
casional sales were SC higher. The
market closed steady at opening
prices. Sales ranged from $4,000
56711a, and the bulk of the supplies
sold at $5.5065.60.
Receipts of cattle were equal to
the average at this time in the week.
The quality and condition of the Of
ferings were only fair to good, there
being a scarcity of cattle that could
be sold around top prices. AL buy
ers were in the field but they did
not have urgent orders, and the mar
ket was quiet on basis of last
weeks closing prices, except calves,
and they were 25c lower. In view of
the sharp decline in prices last week
and in anticipation Of smaller sup
plies and more favorable weather
conditions this week, it is expected
that the market in the near future
will be at least steady and not few
will be disappointed unless there is
some advance in prices.
There were few sheep or lambs
and no quotable change in prices
compared with the close of last
week. On basis of last weeks
closing prices lambs would sell for
1915 down, yearlings for $500 down
and sheep for $500 down.
