1t wasn't a Missouri editor but a
printers devil who was going through
his first experience on making VI"
forms. The paper was late and the boy
got the galleys mixed The FIRST part of
the obituary notice of a pecunious citi-
men had been dumped in the forms and
the next handful of type came off Of a
galley describing a recent fire. 1t read
like this 1.-THE pail bearers lowered the
body to the grave and as it was con-
signed to the flames there were few if
any regrets, for the old wreck had been
an eyesore to the town for years. Of
course there was individual loss, but
that was fully covered by insurance. "
The widow thinks the editor wrote the
obituary that way because the lamented
partner of her joys ard sorrows owed
him five years subscription.

mining is now approximately half as
much as the total taken out an made
merehantabie, There is waste in the
processes OF digging, and vastly more
by reason Of the great tonnage left
as pillars in the mines. When coal
is more vallsb bic, means viii be de-
veloped of supporting the mine roofs SO
that larger proportion may be ae-
tually carried to the surface.
There has been deal of buneombe
about the approaching exhaustion of
the coal supply. 1t is well to conserve
these resO1-ces, but a century, or two
centuries, or three, is not at all likely
TO see the world in danger of a coal
famine. While coal measures not now
available Will b. drawn upon in future,
the demand - coal will decrease
steadily in proportion TO the energy
extracted from it, That is, better ap-
pliances for developing steam and cleo
tricity viii make it possible to per
form twi2e as much work per ton of
coal, as now; perhaps three or four
times as much. Scientific and me
ehanieal ingenuity are devot;ng them
selves to this end, and are accomplish
ing telling results.
The available supply of coal in the
United States is pretty accurately
known, thanks TO the work Of the
Geological Survey. Likewise as to the
western European countries. But China
and Canada are both reputed to nave
more coal than the United States, and
in other parts of the world are vast
riches of the carboniferous fuel. 1t is
a good thing for the world thus early
to get together in consideration of
its resources; but when the estimates
are made, they will show that the
surface of the possible supply has
scarcely been scratched.

CURIOSITY NOT STIFLED.

A certain prisoner landed in Jail al
most penniless- He was a man who had
figured in a number Of the towns shady
transactions and his name was pretty
well known. a few days after his in
carceratiOn he wrote TO a friend, asking
for monthly allowance of $40 10 be
continued during his term OF imprison-
ment- The friend, remembering past
faVors, remitted the amount each month
during a period that covered two trials
and the long time intervening
One day it occurred TO him TO inquire
into the manner Of eXpending the allow
aEce. He supposed it was used to buy
occasional extra meals few cigars and
newspapers. but just as a matter or
curiosity he asked for particulars. He
found 10 his astOnishment, that the
prisoner had never ordered an extra
meal and had not smoked a cigar all
tie time he had been in jail.

the man, have you been doing with

Guarantee of Bank Deposits.

1t Is noted that Mr.. Bryan is about
to make a speech at Topeka, in advo-
cacy OF his guarantee Of bank deposits
scheme. This guarantee OF deposits idea
is the Bryan panacea Tor panics this
year, just as free silver was the cure
all in his two former campaigns. If
the people know they can't lose by leay-
ing their money in the banks, they win
not start runs; if they don't start runs,
there can be no bank panics; and banl,
pdnies being commonly the primary
cause Of business depression, when they
.are abolished business depression will be
imro;sible. That's the cheerful reason
ing.
The hole in the skinner is rather
easier TO discover than was the crack
in Coin" Harveys reasoning. which
captured so many people for the m-
limited coinage idea. The point is that
the possibility, the ever present menace
of a day of sudden settlement, is what
keeps bankers careful. No process of
supervision or examination could guar
autee against the rcclIessness or the
undue enthusiasms of some bankers. If
the public were lulled into a sense OF
security by reason of a guarantee of its
deposits, it would only serve the pur-
pose of postponing the evil day and
making the crash the worse when it
should come.
Mr.. Bryan is determined to make the
most of this issue in the West, and it
Is by no means certain tat he will not
gain votes by it in the East as well.
unless the Republicans muster up cour-
age 70 fight it openly The truth Is that
a great many Western Republicans are
infected with this interesting fallacy.
and that Western Republican managers
are fearful of attacking it.
But if the Republican party is to live
up to the record Of intellectual honesty
which it made by its bold fight on the
fallacy Of free silver, if win make lust
as bold an opposition now, to this guar
antee Of deposits proposal. Mr. Bryan
cannot be left alone to the undisputed
championship of SO fetching a PROPOSE

analyzed, explained and dissected. It's
error must be proved TO the people; and
then it will be found, Just as IN 1896,
that the Western voters will respond
quite as promptly and intelHgently to
an effective statement of the economic
principles involved, and to a vigorous
exposure of the basic error, as it did
to the sound money appeal.
1t takes some courage to meet an
issue like this; and the Republicans,
both for thejt party's good and in the
behalf of the country's best interests
need to be courageous enough to take
the right side and fight for it

A Worlds Coal Census.

President Roosevelt's movement for
systematic and scientific conservation
of natural resources seems likely to
develop international aspects and sig
nifcanee. Already, it is learned, the
coal supplies of a number of countries
are being studied, and information
about them is being exchanged. with q
view to determining where the world
stands with reference to possible ex-
haustion of fuel.
Available coal supply means one
thing at one time, and a very differ
ent thing at another; it has one sig
MITIGATION under one set of economic
conditions, and a very different sig
niieatiOn under another. Thus in
England they 60 to tremendous depths
to mine very thin veins of coal. Like
veins, at like depth, in this country,
would be regarded as entirely worth
less. In Belgium they go still deeper
and profitably work still thinner veins.
In one of the minor coal producing
States OF the Union they have been
digging coal for sixty-seven years, and
yet the total output to date now repre-
sents a fraction of / per cent of the
amount in the ground at the begin
ming. And mining is an important in
dustry in that State, too.
More than this, the waste in coal
