Uncle Henry watterson, of the Louisville Courier-JournaI. thus writes of the passing sf the lobby at the Ma tioRal capitol It is a story that will interest all who have any knowledge of old-time conditions in Washington:

It was not be hevei by Uncle Sam's familiars that he ever bought any votes or did any, thing more censurable and important than to preside royalty over dinner tables loaded with canyas-back and terrapin. jolly old Arab who had married ..n Astor and was brother to Mrs. Howe. Yet, it pleased him to be called Rex Lobbimus,' implying that at last he was of some use to somebody.
 With tae tendency toward investiga tion which began to manifest itself in Congress ice Lobby took on first a scared look of shc eyes and then a sick!y he about the gills.

WASHINGTON Sept. rs. - An
nouncement that I he Pennsylvania
Railroad proposed 20 dispose OF is
anthracite mining properties was
particularly pleasing to officials or
the department of justice as being
in conformity with the governments
position that the coal-carrying rail-
roaos should be divorced from coal
mining companies in the interest or
competition.
No hint OF the Pennsylvania in
tention had been communicated 10 the
department of Justice Interest was
manifested in the nature of the sale,
particularly as TO whether the stocks
OF the coal companies would be sold
10 the stockholders Of the Pennsyl-
vania. resulting in simply a transfer
from the corporation to the individu-
ais that control IT, Such dissolutions
do no tmeet the approval of Attorney
General McReynolds. who contends
that to dissolve a combination effect
ually the property and business
should be sold 10 parties not connect
ed with the parent corporation and
thus destroy all community OF inter
est.
Having Moral Effect.
While the Pennsylvania's control
OF coal mining properties Is far less
extensive than that OF some of the
other coal carrying railroads. officials
looked upon to-day's development as
indicating that the governments coal
trust" policy was having its moral
effect. Many officials believe that At
torney General McReynolds' attack
on the hard coal trust" probably
will be the most important and far
reaching move he will make during
his term. Suits under both the Sher-
man antitrust law and the commo-
dities clause OF the interstate com
merce act already arc pending against
the Reading and the Lackawanna
railroads in an effort TO separate
those roads from their coal mining
companies. The question OF similarly
dealing with the Erie and Lehigh
Valley is under consideration.
