CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
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

Quay is persecuted the more he li
lted about the stronger becomes hip
support. 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.

ANTHRACITE SUPPLY
AND DISTRIBUTION,
LAST OF THE PAPERS ON THE
GREAT COAL FIELD.
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. It in Ibis feelini. -for

labor, striving to provent the dissipation of
what it has eo laboriously gathi red Each
is wrong in its aims wbui it soots exclusive
domination ; both will bo right when they
learn that they aro forcrs which must work
in harmony to carry out the aoci nt com
mand to subdue and ri'plenish tho tarth.
Strikis nnd trusts are tho clumsy attempts
of tuo giants, labor and capital, to carvo
out each a world in which he shall be sole
lord. Co operation will bo the form in
