And then of a eudden all these attacks ceased, the Morning Silurian settled down, to its peaceful ways, a brooding stillness as of Cooing doves aettled over the region of the Tall Tower and -no one drew any conclusion between the cessation of . the at tacks and the appearance 6f .sundry juicy page adver- tisementa which about that time . began to appear in the gleaming columns of the - Morning . Silurian and its .Evening Vermiform ' Appendix. For after all.it was ' purely coincidence and as everybody knew there waa no logical relation between cause and effect;:-;- . '- Then the Harriman system' began to receive attention. !ir. Harriman was simply a worm of the earth.. A to his railroads in Oregon they were simply two streaks of rust which marked the tines of pillage of the distressed and helpless people of Oregon. It was graft and it waa robbery, pure and simple, and the whole welkin -rang with the sonorous denunciations. Then one bright'and beautiful morning there appeared an editorial article in which Mr.' Harriman' relations with the insurance com panies were treated with incomparable frendliness. , Mr. Harriman was all right in every respect, ao far as the Equitable was concerned his relations were, beyond criti cism and he himself waa a public benefactor. Follow- ing on the1 heels of bitterly denunciatory articles these statements were viewed with mild, amazement There was about them a touch foreign to the usual editorial pen and pregnant with pro-railroad convictions that spoke an alien hand in their construction. Since then nothing has appeared to indicate that Mr. Harriman was anything less than a scholar and a gentleman uniting in himself all those envied qualities which go td-makeTrp an ideal public-spirited citizen. ' Another coincidence, of course, a striking one, it is true, but doubtless still a coincidence. The electric light company, wise perhaps m its day LOOSENING OF PARTY TIES. .

Mo6t Republican and some pemocratic member fall ia with these cliques readily, even eagerly mere-cor poration tools like Dryden and mere railroad attorneys l.ke Flint, and protectionists , run mad like McCreerjr.

It is this that they hate. Therefore the Republican party is splitting in two. - -; . Now the people are beginning to sit op and take note of these conditions. Nine out of ten of them would - rather trust Roosevelt, with all hi crude plunging, than the congressional coterie and cabal; but after Roosevelt whom, and what? The people are thinking, asking.' .''

The Silurian wants no honest investigation of the gas company; it dare not permit it notwithstanding it loud asseverations, It would like an investigation by the city council, which, it controls in association with the managers of the Red Ticket .bri gade, for it knows that' "investigation" would investigate precisely wanta investigated and leave out CYcrv other thing that disinterested people. want to learn.' It siezes upon the circumstance of the raid upon Richards place to array against the administration all its habitues, all the casual diners and all their friends In the pur suit of that purpose it prints the names of a number .of witnesses that have been dragged into the case, some of whom have been subpoenaed and some of whom have thus been warned to get away.

". ' ' ' - PRODUCTION OF COAL." N A BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE REPORT the amount of coal produced for 1904 by the five prin cipal coal producing countries of the world was given as follows: .United States, 31463,000 long tons (240 pounds); United. Kingdom, 232,428,000 tons; Ger many, 120338,000 tons; France, 33338,000 Jons; Bel gium, -23,507,000 tons. 7 The production la 1904 was greater than in any previous year in the United Kingdom and Germany, but less in the other countries named than in 1903, it having been that year'319,068,000 in the But in 1904 the production in the United State far. exceeded that of the United Kingdom, and most of it was consumed at home, the exports being only production in the United States was also 8.000.000 irreater than that of Germany and. France combined, 59,000,000 tons greater than the combined pro duction of the United Kingdom and. Belgium combined, and only 96,026,000 tons short of equaling the combined production of all the other countries named? As compared with' the populations of each of the five countries. , the produces five and one half ..tons per State - fonrton per head, Belgium three and one half ton per head, Germany two ton per head, and France less than one ton per headVThe coal nroduction of India and the other British colonies is SouthWaIes' supplies, nearly lairthe output of the Australian commonwealth, and what that commonweaiui aoea export goca.cmcuy 10 n rmup pines and Japan, or at least Japan has been getting it since the commencement of the war with Russia.

Frequently some one seu up a cry of alarm to the effect that in a few hundred year the coal exhausted, but the fear is groundless There are practically inexhaustible beds of coal, no doubt not yet touched in Asia, in Canada, in Alaska, and eyen in the United States.
