CHICAGOS GOOD EXAMPLE
The coal famine having been broken and prices low
ered though not rot to a normal figure are wo to for
i get the Imposition and forjjlyo those guilty of It 7 That
10 the customary proceeding after the troublo la over
Why not imitate oven at this late day the prnlso
1 worOly action of Chicago In n similar T
L In Chicago tho Special Grand Jury Investigating tho
coal famine returned Indictments against fortyfour
o companies corporations and dealers In locating
tfio responsibility tor tho ncrlous sbortaen of coal high
y prices and consequent suffering it exonerated tho rall
y 1 rpeds and mino owners but found that there existed
la the dtv of Chicago and in the State of Illinois outside
of Chicago and In tho neighboring States certain com
binations doomed to ho conspiracies or combinations In
reatXfiJnt ot trade within tho meaning of the statutes
Thai is to nay rocognlclng tho existence ot a coal
famine this Grand Jury promptly proceeded to dlnooror
r the CttBBO and ptoco tho blame nnd it carried out Its
+ rarposo in an expeditions and highly crcdttablo way
n j In similar drcmnetanccn and with equal it not greater
causa for complaint what has New York done It is
osdeotEblo that somebody has been robbing tho con
sanier i > y Imposition of a prohibitive price on coal
All tho outward evidences of a conspiracy or com
J btBailon bora been discernible for weeks yet the
helpless city ban dOne nothing about it but to protest and
I to pay We must think that tho Chicago way is better
I and wish that the energetic Western example could be
followed bore Tho existence of tho Dwindling middle
mem and his extortions is undenlod To discover his
z 1 Identity and to bring an Indictment against him Is
timely work for a Special Grand Jury
It is a duty too long delayed If it bad boon performed
I
i formed sooner iro should havo been denied tho epoc
taclo of Brooklyn mob plundering a coal train and a
Long Island magistrate dismissing a youth charged with
stealing coal with tho ruling that to steal from a thief
is not theft As a result of tho coal famine the sense
ownership has become somewhat confused recently
in Instances far too frequent It the law had taken early
If notice of the persons primarily responsible for these
minor infractions of It wo should not have occasion to
deploro their frequency

CONCERNING READY CASH
A check tor = 22600000 drawn by J P Morgan Bc Oa
In BOttloment for a large block ot Reading railway stock
presented at a New York bank and paid without n
lipplo of excitement as tho account Bays In the money
V market Tho directors of the bank passed tho Check
around among themselves as a curiosity glanced at It
recalled other checks of eight figures deemed large In
t their day but not equalling this and the Incident owns
dismissed as a noteworthy but not essentially Important
episode in the days business of tho bank
Yet it was a big thins In a day of big things and one
r rather beyond the full comprehension of the Imagination
I
at flnt thought There was a time not remote when the
National Qorcrnmont would hare been put to otralta to
i t 1 pay a Jhoefc of this else without preparation Aa it le
t with oar per capita of circulation only 28 It would re
qufro the ready cash of nearly a million citizens to pay
fit H paid in email change It would make Inroads on tho
a j gatione itdok of subsidiary coin It could not baTe been
Gtd in nlcliles for In all Its history tho nation has not
l floinefl enough nickels for the purpose
It toot only the corporations and the banldnshoujts
I that are flush On the day before this check was
6 drawn a theatregoer tendered a 1000 bill In payment
I of two seats at the Empire Theiitsc Change was pro
vided as desired and the tickets furnished Here was a
j plain citizen peeling oft from a roll a single bill repre
l senting twothirds of the entire wealth of the overage
> American as computed by the census experts We can
fancy the reflections of the eldor Booth If he were alive
to hear of this incident of an afternoons bustnem at the
boxoffice We can fancy the reflections of Garrlck ns
he surveyed a scantily filled pit Theao oldtimers
would have liked to know the young matinee hero of
romantic drama who made the occurrence possible
A CONVICTS INVENTION
One of the most Important of recent minor inventions
11 credited to tho Ingenuity of a convict in the New
Jersey State prison Charles Flier It Is a blind look
fittch Bowlngmochlne which will enable ono operator
to do the work of many The device was invented by
tTUer while he was at work In the clothing shop of the
prison Outside capital was Interested In the machine
and Filer received OB his reward a ch payment of
red 4EJDOO a block of stock his parole and tho prowls of a

Other convicts have figured in PatentOmce reports

tlary in 1802 devised a mechanism for giving a man a
clean shave In twentyfive seconds The coble report
seethed ua that the Governor of the penitentiary had
I a UffUd the machine and declared It a auccosa but what

a his confinement and his Isolation from deterring In
fluftnoea moat helpful in enabling him to acquire greater
facility Tho exhibition In this city br the Prison Asso
