HEARINGS STILL CONTENOl
ATTORNEY GLASGOW OF THE
COMMISSION TRIES TO DIS
COVER IF ANY HIGH OFFICIALS S
WERE MIXED UP IN THE COAL
DEALS.

Philadelphia, June 7.-Thorough-
ness is to characterize the investiga-
tion of the interstate commerce COM
mission in its investigation of the re-
lation between the railroads and the
soft coal and oil industries
Attorney Glasgow for the commits
sion stated today that owing to a
large number of witnesses still to be
heard the hearing viii continue all of
this week and probably a portion of
next week.
(. A. w. Gibbs, general superintendent
of motive power of the Pennsylvania
railroad, was recalled today and asked
by Glasgow if it was not a fact that
most of the fuel coal purchased by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co, came from
the Keystone Coal & Coke Co.'S op-
erations and those of Col Alfred
Hicks.
Gibbs said that was SO.
Glasgow wanted to know IL it was
merely a coincidence that the COM
pany coal was furnished by concerns
in which the railroad officials were in
terested or whether he had been in
structed by any higher official as to
what companies were to furnish the
fuel coal.
Gibbs explained, as he did when on
the stand yesterday, that 1t was the
custom for the railroad to assist new
operations by purchasing fuel coal
from them.

People of this generation are SO

State Fair would accomplish this
object more forcibly than any
other means.
The organization proposes to
arrange this enterprise not only to
arouse competition among our
people, but to attract investors
from other States. The large
amount of S15O,OO0, raised by the
people of Richmond, indicates their
purpose to spare no expense to
make this occasion a grand success
from every standpoint.
The success of this Fair should

we hope to obtain for the State
would be materially diminished.
Many sections of the State have
already indicated their purpose of
extending hearty and cordial
support, approaching the results
that would materially accrue there
from. Our people are progressive
and will be glad of the opportunity
to cooperate. The progress of the
Fair VIII be hereafter reported in
detail affording our people such
information as they may desire on
the subject in general.

Explanation by the Country Editor.

After a good deal of study and
work we have at last figured out
why so many country editors oct
rich. Here is the secret of success:
a child is born in the neighbor-
hood; the attending physician gets
$40; the editor gives the loud-lunged
youngster and the happy parents
a send off and gets so. 1t is christ
ened; the minister gets SO, and
the editor gets 800. 1t grows up
and marries; the editor publishes
another long windedfowery article,
and tells dozen lies about the
beautiful and accomplished bride:r
the minister gets so and piece
of cake, and the editor gets 5000.
In the course of time it dies and
the doctor gets from S25 to 500.
the minister perhaps gets another
Sl5; the undertaken gets from $50
to 500, the editor publishes a
notice of the death and an obituary
two columns long, lodge and society
resolutions, lot of poetry and "A
free card of thanks, and gets 10000.
No wonder that so many country
editors get rich.-Morehead (Ala-

Hearst to be the Nominee.

VIM. r. Hearst is to be the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor of
New York. This is as certain as
most human events can be. His
defeat by Mcclellan, or rather his
being counted out, has made him
very strong and the people of New
York had as well yield to the in
evitable. There were persons who
said that the mayorality fight
would end Hearst, once and for
ever, that has also run" and a
corpse were generally one and the
same thing. This they proved to
their satisfaction by Bryan who
was a defeated candidate, also by
many others who had gone before
the people and gone down to rise
no more. They generally did not
cite Alton B. Parker, who is the
most conspicuous example of their
theory known, because those par
ticipating in the obsequies of Bryan
and Hearst were usually mourners
at the Parker funeral.
1t Is not unusual, we admit, that
a defeat is political death. but the
rule, like others. has exceptions,
and Mr.. Hearst is a conspicuous
exception. He has grown in pub
nc favor ever sinse ne was counted
out until it Is not impossible that
he will be governor of New York.
and when this occurs look out for
greater hOnors. His rate control
and municipal control of public
utilities are ideas which have seiz-
ed on public favor and may carry
him TO high position.-Staunton
