The Philadelphia Inquirer yester day Bays Chris Mngee, the political superintendent of John Dplzell, ihidh H necessary to call to account the Dal zell organs in this section of the state that have been working for a Demo cratic Legislature under the gulso of Dalzelllnm. Mr. Magee Is too much of a Republican to wink at underhand work In aid of the Democraoy, and If his candidate should be beaten in the Republican Senatorial caucus, as he will be, he would not bolt with the eastern Dalzell, organs in behalf of a Democratic Senator. He makes this plain In the Pittsburg Times, over which he presides, when he says: "The folly of factional 'eal must not be permitted to tear the party armor oil and leave us naked to the enemy. There is a present reminder of this in an article which appeared on Satur day In the Philadelphia JPrcss, intend ed to show that Colonel Quay's war record Is that of a shirk and a pre tender. Tho Times has Been many things In the political methods of Mr. Quay to criticise and condemn, and did not hesitate to do bo when be was at the height of his power. But no man who knows blm from having stood beside him or before him will ever believe that he was ever u shirk or a coward. It will avail no cause to sneer at him as such, or to belittle his services during the war. The elbow touch between soldier and Boldler is very close, and such attacks as this are sure to arouse them to warmer effort in his behalf; for It Is unfair because, through Ignorance or suppression, it is by inference, if not in direct state ment, untruthful." That is fair. It is a perfectly legiti mate thing for Mr. Dalzell to appeal to the voters, but It is most unjust and disgraceful for his organs to appeal for him upon false statements. Malice breeds persecution, and Senator Quay is now the victim of the unbridled malice of the Dalzell organ in Phil adelphia, and the dozen or so other CENTS VETl VAUD FOIt Floor Oil Cloths others for I 30, 85 and 40 cts, and upwards.

It would eeem as If the or gans ought to have learned wisdom from the overwhelming Dalzell defeat in Armstrong and Snyder counties, but they have not. Their malice is only deepened and unwittingly they are making votes for the Senator. Money paid to veterans as pensions is kept in the country, and does a great work in promoting a healthy, active circulation of the currency. Money sent abroad to buy the pro ducts of foreign labor is that much lost to tho whole people. That Is an important difference between two classes of disbursements. One really enriches the country, while the other Impoverishes It. The President has shown a com mendable Interest in the great gather ing of his comrades which will take place In Washington. next September, and his recommendations to Congress to make a fitting appropriation to aid that city in properly entertaining the immense throng should receive prompt attention. Beyond all question it will be the greatest soldier-gathering in the history of the country. It will have a national importance, and the nation should aid In entertaining its ex-soldiers in the Capital they defend ed with such heroism and persistency. When it is remembered that tens of thousand of these veterans will then visit Washington for the first time since they tramped through its streets in the uniform of soldiers, either go ing down to the battle-swept front, or returning maimed and shattered from the conflict, or with the proud step of victors, and that this will be the last time that tens of thousands of these will Bee each other or the beautiful Capital, It would seem as if there should not be the slightest hesitation In Congress about making a liberal appropriation for a grand patriotic oc casion that will never occur again.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE FREE'DEUVERY TWO YEARS AGO TO-DAY IT WAS INSTITUTED. AT THE HEIGHTH OF PROSPERITY A Grout Decrease In the Ilerrlpls From ISox Kents In the Tost Office Proves the Free Mall Delivery System n Success. AY marks thoseo ond annivoruiry of the introduction oi free mail delivery in this town and wo find tbo sj stem in a healthy and prosperous condi tion. Three year ago tho suggestion of such a system was smiled at. Some said tho people had becomo so accustomed to calling at tho post offlco for their mail they would not appreciate the innovation and tho carriers would not be on tho force long, as they would havo noth ing to do; Eomo wcut eo lar as to declare that tho introduction of tho system would bo nothing less than a piece of political jobbery to secure soft berths for favorites at tho expense of the government; and other moss-backed residents thought it was "ono of them now fancied notions." But a test of two years has tbown tho system in the light of one of tho greatest blcssingB the town has ever had and a popular vote to-day would hold tho system at any cost. The town could not do without it. To-day thero are hardly one-sixth tho number of boxos rented in tho post office. Before the free delivery system was Intro. duced tho annual receipts from box rents was considerably oyer $1,000. Tho recoipte from that source are now less than $200 But this loss of revenue is more than over come by the increased Dusincss. Somo people labor under tho impression that tho doerea'O In the box rents is an evidence oi a loss of patronage and business, but such is not tho caso. The wiping out of the box office system is the object of free delivery and dosiro of postmasters. Nearly all thoso who still retain boxes aro Poles Lithuanians, Hungarians and others who prefer to call at the post office for their letters, rather than have them delivered at their boarding bouses. Iho letters advertised as uncalled for during tho past year averaged but two a week, which is less than the average of any other second class post office in tho country. Tho administration ot the post office has been of a most harmonious and gratifying character and but one change has taken place since the appointment of Postmaster II. O. Boyer. Mr. Horaco E. Denglor still retains the assistant poslmastership and all the letter carriers who went on the force when the froo dollvory system was first introduced are still in harnifS3, They Bre Messrs. John Bartsch, John it. Boyer, Joseph n, Kohl or, Jr., P. D. flolman and John Bock. The only change in the administration took place during the past year, when Mrs. Beddea, nte Crawahaw resigned her clerkship to enter the matri monial Bphere. Miss Lottie Tost retain bur original position and Miss Kate Glover fills tho position vacated by Mrs. Beddea. A Million Frionds.

GOAL ENOUGH FOR A CENTURY At an Annunl Production of 00,000.000 Tons The Ilecent Consolidation of Coul Interests Discussed Tho Oli- w of tho Promoters JteUewed. HIS is the third and lastoftho interesting series on tbo supply and distribution ol nnthracite coal from the pen of President Harris, ot the Lehigh C'al and Navigation Company, which have attracted considerable attention since thoir publication a few days since. In tha pa-t the general proepoet of min ing ha9 ben to leave so much coal stand ing as pillars between the chambers out of which tho coal is boing taken as to keep the rock roof from falling, the amount required for this purpose varying from one-quartor to one-half of tho whole content ot the bed. The wasto from this source will be greatly reduced in tho future by eomo ol tho various methods practiced in European countries, such as blasting down the over laying rock and building of this matorial walls to serve as pillars, so that the coal pillars may be taken out. After the coal has been hoisted from the mines a largo percentage Is destroyed for practical purposes in tho process of break ing and screening it into sizes suitable for marketing, which two operations are lech nlcally toimt-d "preparing" the coal These operations result in reducing a large portion of the coal to sizes too fine for the market, the percentage of waste from this source varying greatly, being comparative ly small where tho coal is tough and the best appliances for broaking are used and largo where tho coal is friable and the breaking machinorv is unsuitable. On the whole, the average waste in "preparation' in tho past has not fallen much short of twenty per cent, of tho coal hoisted from tbo collieries. This has Jboon much dimin !hed of late years chiefly by the utiliza tion of the smaller s'z's of coal. This economy has progrosjed so far that where as not more than ton years ago most of tho coal was thrown away that was of sizes smaller than pea coal, which corresponds n size to an ordinary chestnut, thero is now a general marketing of ail sizes of coal dewn to "No. 2 buckwheat," which if about the size of grains of Indian corn. his is an enormous saying, for these slzos, which were wasted ten years ago, amount at some collieries to more than twenty por cent, of the whole production Tho time that will elapse before the total exhaustion of tho anthracite supply de pends, of course, on tho rate at which it is usod. "We have, as before, staled, reached in annual consumption of 40,000,000 tons, and this consumption has been for years increasing at tho rate of four per cent, per annum. But it is not likely that this rate of increaso will long continue. The whole coal field is so well supplied with collieries, that some parts of it are now so near their probable maximum rate of yield, that it may bo assumed that the annual output will never be increased more than fifty per cent, above tho present amount. If the limit of annual product is placed at 00,- 000,000 tons, wo should have coal at this average rate for about 100 years, though this period may bo eo.no what prolonged by the diminution of the output as parts of the fluid coaso altogether to produce. The recent consolidation of tho interests of several of the largest transporters of anthracite, which together carry to market about fifty-seven par cent, of tho total product, bos caused much comment and provoked some criticism. Tho projectors of this movement expect to benefit them- solves 'without Injury to the consumer by mining more cheaply, which they can do through the cessation of work at the ex pensive collieries, thus permitting tho more constant operation of the profitable ones; by transporting more cheaply, bocause the businoss will be bettor systematized, and, moving more regularly, will not require so large a transportation equipment; and by marketing nioro cheaply, as oach interest neod no longer employ agents to undersell tbo others. A firm maintenance of tho published prices may prevent tho largest purchasers from obtaining such advantages over the smaller consumers as they have been able to got in tho past; but the price of coa' noed not bo advanced to the ordinary buyer, and very considerable gain to the producor and transporter can bo made out of tho conservation of tho energy which has beon hlthtrt) wasted in the friction of tho parts. This movemont is one of many attempts which aro now being made to got away from the false idea that competition is the sole law whlob should regulate trade, and to base industrial operations on tho truor thought that business should rest on organi zation, co-operation and reasonable con sideration for the prosperity of others. In i ither words, it is beginuinKtotmrecognuid hit industrial warfaio Is no better a cgu'atorof biitincss than piiva'e warfare u of soe l iuterc urfo.

Arthur is a good natured young man and would fill tho position admirably, but we fear he will be handicapped by his location. Should be receive tho nomination ho will have a united party back of him. Hon. John Parker, of Mahanoy it. has been suggested as a candidaU 'o Congress. It is doubtful that Mr. Parker would bo willing to undergo the ordeal of being a candidate in tho heated canvass of a Presidential year.
