PLENTY OF COAL.

Lester Maynard, American consul at Vladivostok
reports that new coal field has been discovered in
Siberia and that in places the veins are five
miles wide, and of a depth not yet known
Recent events indicate that there are mountains
of coal in Alaska.
Lieutenant Shaekelton declares there is coal enough
in the south polar regions tc provide the world with
fuel for a thousand years
There would seem to be no reason to fear coal
famine for the nations generally. But in the mean
time it would be very gratifying for the people OF
salt Lake to know they could get at five dollars a
ton the soft coal that lies in such endless quantities
within a hundred miles of this city.

The SECOND THOUGHT OF GOV CAMPBELL

Governor Campbell of Texas has changed MS mind.
To that extent he has disproved the theory formerly
entertained by many that he is fool, He said he
wouldn't move step out Of the city Of Austin be-
cause the President unable to make that of the
stages on his long journey The governor said if the
President wanted TO him, the President would have
to come to the capital of Texas-that he was as big
man in the Lone Star state any fellow that wore
hair. And much more to the same effect.
But we note by the public press that Governor
Campbell has gone to FL PasO He has not only gone
to FL Paso, but he has gone there in high hat 1t
is made of silk, and he he will wear it ill the
show is over, if ii kills him.
All of which is to be commended. It shows that
even the governor of Texas recognizes the consider
alton due to the President of the United States. In
fact, everyone in the nation excepting the Tribune
crowd at Salt Lake has had manhood enough to be
decent while the President and his party are being
entertained.

SOUNDS LIKE THREAT.

one of the railway publications called the Rail-
way Record, and published at Chicago serves notice
the people of the several states that they must not
consider any legislation Of which the railway COM
panies cannot approve. It views with alarm" the
statements Of President that still further regu-
aon Of the railroads is necessary for the good of the
people And it completes its warning in the following
terms:
AS they do. there will be a return and that
in aggravated measure, of the general inactivity which
has Frustrated every industry in the United States
which has caused serious inconvenience to all, and
of very OF the industrious poor Of the country
members of congress to put up for time with the
ills from which they suppose the country is suffering
through the railway system it is, than to fly to
others which they know not of, but which are GER
tain to carry widespread disaster in their train?
That sounds a good deal like a threat It is unfor-
tunate that the corporations take that tone There
is purpose. either the part of the President nor
of any of the states deal unfairly with the railroad
companies. But there is a very definite purpose on
the part of both President and people not to permit
the railroads deal unfairly with the public if it can
be prevented.
There will be anti-raway legislation. But there
will be ant-public department the part Of the
companies either.
And threats not the best way in the world to
arrive at condition of mutual good feeling.

BLESSED is THE SENSE OF HUMoR.

What would the world do if it couldn't laugh II the
pretenses Of takers? Here the bosses of what is
called the American party, pretending to purify the
government holding themselves up models of bet
Ter politics; raving about town with big noise for
honest elections
= And registering so many voters from one little
house that if all lived there who they live there
they would have to sleep four in a bed
Also registering fourteen patriots of purity from
building that is being remodeled by bricklayers and
carpenters, and isn't inhabited at all.
There is only one course pursue in a case of that
kind and that is TO laugh at the hypocrites who follow
those methods, and yet claim to be DESTROYS of good
Government.
s Just laugh at them-and send them to jail

THE EARTH AND THE MAN.

a little sun. little rain,
a soft wind blowing from the west
And woods and fields are sweet again.
Ana warmth within the mountains breast
So simple is the earth we tread.
So quick with love and life her frame
Ten thousand years have dawned and fled.
And still her magic is the same
A little love. little trust
A soft impulse. a sudden dream,
And life as dry as desert dust
Is fresher than a mountain stresn,
So simple is the heart of man.
So ready for new hope and joy;
Ten thousand years since it began
Have left it younger than a boy

Queen Elizabeth and her courtiers were duly amazed by certain miraeu- lous tricks performed by the court physician, Dr William Gilbert, though many Of the graver or more supersti- tious uobles declared his feats worth fer of conjurer or sorcerer than dignified medical man. Gilbert bal aneed light steel needle on a pivot.

 Gilbert had studied the phenome- non and had discovered that some unknown force. which he called mag netism, was generated in certain sub stances by friction. He did not know what this force was. but he carried on his experiments until he proved the whole earth Is one vast magnet. with north and south poles and that this fact accounts for the dipping and shifting of the compass needle Going on this theory. he invented an instru- ment for showing sailors their lati- tude without help from sun or stars.

But 1t was stephen Gray who. in i72s. made experiments in electricity which paved the way for the tele- graph He found that certain bodies had the power to convey electricity from one object to another. and that others had not. In other words, that some substances were conductors and some were non-eonduetors.
 Experiments were baked by the dif ficulty In storing enough electricity for any such purpose. To get around this Prof Muschenbroeck. in 1745. de Yised at Leyden.

 The young man bent over the beau tiful girl whose slender hand he had been holding. with all the astonish- meat that the importance of her an- nouncement merited.

 Why not? Didn't you say that you wanted not only the privileges of be ing a man, but also to retain all Of the prerogatives of a woman You wanted both.
