It would be passing strange, In deed, If the three counties above named should allow Mutchler to carry off the the honors. big fellows for answers to fair questions, such as the items of cost to mine a ton of coal, the methods of combinations to raise the price of coal, the salaries that the offic ials of the Reading syslem pay themselves for managing a concern that has two hun dred millions of debt throuch mismanage ment, so as to furnish data to make a com parison with the wages of the suffering miners and laborers and business -in en of the coal regions, they refuso to answcr,and say It is none of your business; and the newspapers that feed on corporation pap endorse It and poke fun, In their insidious ways, at the committee for meddling with Other peoples' business.

Agreements to control vast Industries, all details of which are thus sedulously con ccaled, must bo of such a character that those concerned In them dare not allow the facts to pass into the possession of the pub lic and its grand jurors and prosecuting of ficers. The inevitable inference Is that there must be something behind all this concealment and prevarication, even worse than the public had suspected. Those big conspirators think it is no body's business to Inquire into their squeez ing combinations. They aro determined to do as they pleaso in this free countiy. They are bible studerts and expect tbe pcoplo to bo as submissive as in olden times; and why cot? They aro only kings of another sort.

This was also substantially the doctrine of tho celebrated Tweed Ring in New York city not many years ago. IFm! It Tweed in tbe plentltude of his power said ''What areyou going to do about it?"

M Rapsiigr. MMA Hew Yorl -Letter. XOHOrOLIEB ABS TBUSTB. CONTINUED. Matjch Chunk, Fa., March 5, 1888. To the Editor of the Advocate: Eyenat the risk of making yourself and readers ttbed, I shall briefly continue my letter of last week. The subject Is not exhausted yet. It Is scarcely commenced. Since my letter of last week Mr. Littler of the late Investigating commission ap peared before the House Pacific Railroads Committee and told tbe members what he would do toward those railroads, If he was on tbe committee, and if he was in Con gress. He made what may be regarded as a good plea for the plunderers and owners of the Central Pacific. But when he was closely pressed by the committee Mr. Lit tler said: "The Central Pacific Company owns everything of value in California, in cluding the city of San Francisco." It stems that this powerful railway ring did not stop its operations by robbing the Unit ed States Government of millions of dol lars, and millions of acres.of the best and most valuable public lands, but like a thor oughbred gourmand It also swallowed up the State of California and Its chief city. I merely mention this now to corroborate what I said last week, as some of your readers -may haye thought that my language was too strong. Ex-Go v. Fatttson did not appear before the House, Committee He Intimated that his report to Congress con tained his vltws, with plenty of facts to sustain them. So It goes In our glorious Special to the Carbon Advocate. i nate to Knocic tne sand from under a good story, especially when It has a roman tic turn to It, but truth compels me to do It. Two weeks ago I cavo the history of Lawyer Willis, tbe masher, who made love to two sisters, Millie and Tlllle,and so dam aged the heart of Millie that she declares on her 'davj that it will take fifty thousand good hard dollars to put It In reasonable re pair, for she never expects to haye It again as good as new. In that letter I described the romantic young ladies, but I forgot to give an artistic sketch of tho dashing young Lothario who did all the damage and mis chief. You doubtless recollect that tbe art less youngreaturos whose peace of mind ho' destroyed were touching the forties while nfty would hardly excuse Adonis himself. Now many a man Is a good catch at fifty, and I know several young women oi rorty mat wouia ne liomnoors In any fellow s crown wno was lucicy enough to catch them. Willis' success was phenome nal; bis hair was a bright red, and the squint of his left eye seemed like a stand ing noei on nis rigni. men ne nail a pug nose which stood at an angle of 45 degiees from bis chin, at which elevation It seemed to detect something frightfully unpleasant In the atmosphere. These aro not the qualities that usually captivate the sex, but they masbbd all to flinders the hearts of Millie and Tlllle. Now when I told that Millie had entered suit for fifty thousand dollars, you doubtless Imagiued that Willis was a moaiea uonauoiaer rolling in wealth ii any sucu ueiusion ever possessed your mum lei it now uo aispeiieo loreyer. Last week the gay young masher was picked up in the mud helplessly and hopelessly that could catch anything from a cotton tall rabbit to a grizzly. Then there wero the ladles' pets: some with lone silky fleece. and others with no mora hair on their backs than there is on the palm of pour hand. "Oh, ain't they sweet!" was the general exclamation, but It was a strained metaphor; tho reason, oh my nosel 1 11 leave you to guess. As a show It was a great success the number of c"oj9 being unusually large and tne qualltr inucii in advance of anv bench show New York has seen before. When we take as much care of our own pedigree and behavior as we do of these doss, we will be much better than we are, ana we will need no Prohibition or Anti-1'overty bocieties, bpeaisiiia ot societies, Ann 1'ovcrlv had an inning on bunday night which nearly led to a llpperary ruction. The Iter. Charles Patrick McCarty was pitted against one Dennis Barney McCabe at Hie Harlein Division of the Anti-Poverty Society. The McCartys and the McCabes have been knocking chins on each other s shoulders and treading on tho tails of each oilier s coats ever sinco the battle of Ulon tarf, when the McCabes ran iwayfrom the great Brlen Boroo and tho McCarty's stuck to to mo pia man till tue battle was ended.

On tho night in question McCarty champ lonod ur. jucuivnn and jucuaue took un cudgels for Henry George. Finally McUaba made it so not for Jjatlier AlcUlynn that McCarty started to pilch him off of the staec. On this demonstration McCabt- In gloriously took water, for McCarty had uiood in ins eve. and Mcuabe saw at once that McCarty was a dangerous man to fool Willi.
