The Coal Supply.

1t is reported that one of the big rail.
road companies has now already stored
more than 100000 tons of coal, antici-
pating the usual winter shortage in
fuel
There may be some relief for the pub
lie even in the fact that the railroads
have their SUPPLY laid in beforehand, SO
they will not need to occupy all their
energies providing coal for themselves
when the pinch comes. But, while
we reyile the transportation companies
and coal companies for lack of fuel in
the winter, it miget be we'll enough to
reflect that the small consumer could
also provide his coal in the summer
time and be forearmed. 1t is true that
the average consumer might not be
able to lay III his full wintea's supply
at one time, months in advance, but a
great many could do it and save trouble
for themselves, the retail dealer, the
producer, and all hands Providence
in household regulation could be very
probably turned in this direction.

The Important News.

In the fore part of the week, just
after the Associated Press went out OF
business because OF the telegraphers
strike, and it was announced that the
Western Union would handle the ser
vice to the extent of giving the i'm
portant news in condensed form, the
following news item appeared in the
daily papers, occupying something like
a qnarter OF a column Of space:
A citizen of Cincinnati went camp
ing over in Kentucky. One day. for
reasons unexplained because of the
condensed form OF the dispatch, he
went out aud took drink Of water
from one OF the Kentucky springs.
Shortly thereafter he experienced VIC
lent internal disturbance; physician
was summoned; an emetic was admin
lstered, and the patient heavea up a
snake six inches long, alive and well.
We are not going to attempt any
cheap Witticsm on this important item
OF condensed news, although the crude
intelligence will perceive chat there are
some related circumstances here pres
ent: Cincinnati citizen, Kentucky
spring, snake. The point for the seri-
GUS observer to note is the privation
which the reading public suffers
through the curtaiiment of Geographic
condensation of the important news.
Ii the wires had all been working we
should no doubt have been advised of
the comments of the Cincinnati citizen
and his resolutions in regard to water
in the future; and possibly the remarks
OF the snake, poor, misguided creature
who thought he was safe in Kentucky
as long as he stuck to a watery habita
ton Would that the cruel war were
over.
