THE PROPERTY At STAKE.

The ROYALTY offered by Mr.. John Il.
Ballaine. of Seattle, for the privilege OF
working government coal lands IN
Alaska will serve to call attention to the
immense value of that property and to
the vast interests involved in the con-
servation policy If the people once come
fully to understand the tremendous rich
ness of the coal deposits in Alaska they
will not be ready TO have them pass out
right into private hands for a nominal
sum.
Mr.. Ballaine offers TO pay the govern
ment a royalty of 80 cents ton on
every ton of coal mined and to lease
five thousand acres on that oasis. He
estimates that the royalty of the govern
ment will be- at 50 cents ton, s2,oVo,Ooo
to the hundred acres, or $lOo.OOo,oOo
from the tract he proposes to take ana
operate. These are, perhaps, rather
graniiose calculations, but a very nn-
eraI discount does not impair the argu-
ment
The five thousand acres which Mr..
Ballaine desires are only q small part OF
the Alaska coal deposit. According to
the estimates OF lIle beoloSlcai ooi wy
there are in the explored parts of Alaska
sixteen billions of tons. and the Survey
has expressed the opinion that there is
as much more in the unexplored sections.
people which has walked up to the
folly of giving valuable rights to public
service corporations in perpetulty should
be able to see where its interest lies in
these immensely valuable coal proper

THE HELODRAM4 OF A TRUST

Until yesterday we never realized
what a melodramatic old party the
Beef Trust was. Here is the whole
country boycotting meat, with the strike
threatening 10 extend 10 shoes, because
the Beef Trust controls hides, and TO
buttons. which are a by-product Of tle
butchers trade. Does the trust exhibit
A contrite spirit at this universal mani
festation of virtuous reprobatlon OF It's
evil practices? No, indeed. Drunk with
power-we believe that is the cor
rect eXpression-drunk with power, 1t
smiles griInly, as persons drunk with
power invariably do, and remarks:
Well show 'er ;"
Accordingly all the veracious authorl-
ties agree that the trust has determined
to cut down the supply of all the rebel
lious sections-that is 10 say, all sections
of the country and put up prices.
Cattle receipts will be light next week,
prices higher Stiffen Eastern beef.
Don't get panicky-brace up" That is
the reply of the Beef Trust, so they say
whose word there is none to dispute,
and that, translated out Of the jargon
of commerce, is the inevitable answer of
every villain of melodrama to the pro-
tests of indignant virtue. Invariably
the high handed old rascal does not see
the gathering forces of doom which are
plainly evident to tie audience, but goes
into the last act as clipper as if there
were not God in Israel.

DEFENDER OF SELLING "sHoRT."

To the Editor of rhe Tribune.
Sir: Is selling stocks short for fai IN
prices any worse than buying stocks long
for an advance?
Some weeks ago advised my friends 10
sell out their stocks and to go snort Oh
certain railroads and industrials, antici-
pating a decline in prices, but sevefaI op-
jected to selling short on the ground that
it smacked too much of gambling.
l maintain that stocks at times can De
sold C'shert'0 on an investment basis
Business men il. other lines of trade often
go short of commodities, with the view OF
buying in cheaper, and do not think they
are gambling by so doing. Why cannot the
same apply to Wall Street?

NOT THE F4RMER's FAULT.

There is some force in Secretary VII
sons suggestion TO the Manufacturers.
Club OF Philadelphia that one of the
chief causes of current high prices for
meats ard ether food products is the
decline of agriculture in the Eastern
States, whose population has turned
very largely 10 other forms of industry.
II is tue that the raising Of cattle for
the .narket has almost ceased in the
East and that agriculture generally has
not kept pace with the demand for food
products Yet ii is hard 10 believe that
agriculture il any D rt of the Union
would steadily decline 81 the face Of an
enormous appreciation OF the cost TO the
consumer of all farm products were
fhere not some powerful disturbing
factor operating To deny the farmer the
BENEFITS of that appreciation. If the
Eastern farmer could have reaped
legitimate share of the increase in the
mice of farm produce which has taken
nIace in the last twenty years he would
certainly be in position 10 command all
fine labor he needs and TO develop re
sources now neglected because 4 does
moi p.ty TO develop them. Under normal
conditions economic law would certainty
drive labor and energy into HELD pt
,roduction in which there had been the
a,eaf.st relative expansion in the selling
price Of products

No surprise should be excited by the
statement that all of the pictures OF the
new comet are not exactly alike. AS
trononers have often noticed when pho
tographing nebula that the result is
greatly influenced by the size of the lens
employed and the length of time during
which their sensitive plates are exposed.
Different parts of nebula are not
equally brilliant, and the brighter ones
naturally impress themselves first. The
record left in ten minutes with q small
glass, therefore, IS quite unlike that oh
tanned with large one in an hour. and
the rule holds good for comets.
