tract between them. no technical con- spiracy or combination, no association or agreement in the nature of a trust.N and yet it is hardly denied that they work together with a complete under standing and common purpose. The supply of anthracite coal is in fact monopolized, the output is controlled and the price is fixed without any com- petition so far as tfsis particular pro- duet lis concerned. The only restraint is the competition Of other forms of fuel, and there is a strong tendency to combination in the bituminous coal fields as well.
 Suppose the corporate connection be- tween railroads and mines is severed. Suppose whatever tangible relation ex- isting between the several railroad com panies is dissolved, The vested proper ty interests will remain and the men in control of them may not change. The "community of interest" may remain In control of mines and in control of rail- roads, which must carry the product of the mines if it Is to reach the mar ket and the consumers. As men own- ing mining shares and as men owning railroad shares they may direct mining operations and they may direct railroad operations. Can each mine and each railroad be made to work independently and in competition with the rest when there is a common interest practically controlling all, without any formal or ganization or agreement, but with an intangible and impalpable understand ing?" It will be easy to prove the mo- nopoly and it may not be difficult to disintegrate the present combination so far as it is formal, but will the real monopoly of the anthracite supply then disappear? It is a problem for the gov- ernment.-New York Journal of Com- merce and Commercial Bulletin.

local advantage, she has also done good service for the whole Mississippi Valley. Under the arrangements here tofore existing there was little hope of benefit to any of the territory west of the Alleghany mountains in the utilization of it's products, except by rail shipment to New York and ocean transportation thence to Panama. By the arrangement made for transporta- tion direct from New Orleans both la bor and material can be. much more cheaply. secured and of. better quality. What is needed now Is that this new arrangement shall be taken notice of by the Boards of Trade and Conner cial Clubs of all the Western States and that the people shall be advised of the details necessary. for offering to the Government agents at New Or leans such supplies and material as are needed for the canal. Such inforna- ton will not only benefit them. but the Government in the less cost at
 which they can now be furnished.

DICKENS SPOKE TO HIM.
What the Great Author Said to the
 Yankee Boy.

Henry c. Robinson, witty lawyer, who used to live In Hartford, Conn, told the following anecdote one even ing when he was introducing an Eng fish author to Hartford audience:
 The most famous Englishman whom ever saw was Charles Dickens, who lectured here in Hartford when l was a young boy.
 q had read some of the stories of this great writer and I was most anXi- ous to catch a glimpse of the man himself. So on the afternoon when he was expected to arrive I walked up and down the street in front of the hotel where knew he was to stay.
 The hotel was built close to the side walk and the long windows of the par Tor were so low that the passerby could easily see into the room, H
 ''I soon realized that gentleman was sitting within reading a paper. | stepped close up under the window and pressed my face against the glass eager to get good look at the strang- CT. Yes, 1t was he! It really was! had seen his picture often and copld not be mistaken. stared and stared anxious to impress every feature upon my memory After few moments he turned and saw me there, the little ea- ger Yankee boy, gazing up at his face and then the famous man, laying aside his paper, actually spoke, so that really heard the voice of the great Charles Dickens himself and he was really talking to mel"
 Here MT. Robinson paused impress sively and some one on the platform Inquired, What did he say, MT. Rob inson?"
 He said," replied MT. Robinson, il subdued tones, GO away, little boy go away!"-Youth's Companion.

PIants That nran.s Presence AfEects.

There are two classes of plants which are melted by manss presence to de- scribe certain definite movements. One class the sensitive-plants, retract their leaflets AS we approach them as if they resented any attempt closer intimacy. while the other class, comprising all those vines which develop climbing ur- gans called tendrils, will reach out to- ward us If we place our hands in con- tact with them, and will even use a finger as 8 support to climb upon We know that these ten5rils will wind Just as readily about twig or a grass stsm, multiply their encirciing coils about one's fingers. there almost seems to be established between us and the vegeta- ble world more Intimate relationship than has ever existed before.
 Tendrils are indeed capable of exhib- iting faculties and going through evo- lutions more wonderful perhaps than many of us realize It Is only after we have seen them at work, testing with their sensitive tips the objects they. come in contact with, apparently coa@ sideringa their suitability as g support and then accepting or rejecting them, as the case may be--it is4oiily then that we realize how justly they have been called the "brains of plant Iife.'
 The thoroughness with which these wandering tips explore their surround ings is illustrated by an instance I ob- served in a grapevine tendril. A,cherryl branch. whose leaves had been vari@ ously punctured and scalloped by in. sects, hung near the1tentril, and a par. ticular leaf had just one small hole in It's blade, not over three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. So careful had been the exploration of the leafs sur face that this one small hole had been discovered by the tendrll, which had thrust itself nearly three inches through the opening Howard J. Shannon. in Harpers for July.

THE ANTHRACITE MoNoPLY.
The Government Engaged fin a Tardy
 Attempt to Remove m EvaI.

The Government Engaged in Tardy
 Attempt to Remove an EvaI.
 The Government is entering upon a. formidable task in undertaking to un- do wrong which ought never to have been permitted to exist. The anthra- cite monopoly has been allowed to grow up gradually and insidiously through the fatlur&Sf public sentiment in years past to realize what was go- ing on and to demand preventive measures, These would have requir- ed a concert of action between Ma tional and State authorities which it might have been impossible to secure under our system of divided respon- sibility even if the public had been awake to the danger. The only re- source now for undoing the mischief seems to be a prosecution of the hard coal combine for conspiracy under the antitrust law, upon which
 the Department of Justice is now enter ing at Philadelphia.
 That monopoly exists in fragrant violation of that law hardly admits of doubt but suppose it is proved and it is decreed that the railroad and min- ing combination be dissolved and the
 unlawful contracts abandoned, will the monopoly cease? If not, what new form will it take? Within year the provision of the interstate commerce. act prohibiting these railroads from carrying their own products will come into effect to fortify the anti trust law but stin the problem will re- main of the survival or death of the monopoly in producing and marketing anthracite coal The fields arc con- tained within limited area in eastern Pennsylvania, penetrated by several lines of railroad The railroad corr porations and the mining companies controlled by them have possession, it lis stated in the Government petition, for an injunction in the Philadelphia l suit, of ninety per cent. of the. depos- | its and produce about seventy-five per cent. of the annual supply. Such in- dependent" mine owners and operators as survive are dependent upon the railroads for transportation of their product and have been compelled to enter into contracts which enable the carriers to control their output and their prices.
 These several railroad and mining
 companies have been working together
 for several years, and the combination
 determines practically how much hard
 coal shall be mined, what it's price
 shall be charged for It's transportation to tidewater and what it's price there
 shall be. The men directing them have declared that there is no binding con-
