Tho following editoiial appeared in
the New York World lust Sunday:
"Tho consolidation of the four coal
oarrying railroads completes a monop
oly whioh Ins been in process of. for
mation for years.
"It gives to a single organized
group of men practically absolute con
trol of tho entire anthraoite coal prod
uct oi America.
' It empowers theao men to deter
mine how much coal tho miners shall
take out of tho ground, for how many
days in the year they diall have work
and wages and for how many days.
they shall bo nnpoveiished by idle
ness. "It enables them to fix the prioo of
onthractito coal without referenco to
Btiy law of supply anil domand and
without consideration of the cost of
production.
"It authorizes thc-e men arbitraily
to increase, diniiuish or completely cut
off the supply of coal to great cities
and to factories that employ thousands
of workmen. Iu a woid, these meu
have seized upon tho whole of one of
tho oountry's most important natural
resources. They have uiada exclusively
their own a vast natural wealth which
should mimister to the prosperity ofd
all. Iripy have cornered tho rocour
ces of the everlasting hills.
'That suoh monopolizing of natural
resources is evil and dangerous thore
oau be no doubt. Or ir one bo in
doubt ho has only to reflect upon the
inevitable result of doing the same
thing with rospent to other resources
that are the common horitago of men.
Tho logical outoomo of tho monopo
listic policy is the concentration in tho
Lauds of tho few not only of all
tho means of producing wealth, and
the reduction of the rest of mankind
to a slavery not the less than actual
because it is called another name.
COMING OUR WAY.

The following is clipped from tho
Macon, (Ga.) Tclograph of Fob. 4:
The Texas Exhibit in cars have tho
good will of all the railroads, and it
is extended evory oourtcsy by them.
This is not strange, for all tho roads
aro gotting business out of this great
advertising project. It is on record
that tho Riohmond and Danvillo road
somo time sinoe sold 800 tiokots to
Tcx:s in ten days from placeB in
Tennessee whore the cars had beon.
So far no ono has beon hoard from
who has given up Georgia for tho
Lone Star State, hut tho Richmond
and Danvillo evidently has faith in
tho ability nf the exhibit to attract
emigration from tho faot that it pro
poses to send Passonger Acent Bv
thewood into Alabama with the cars,
oxpeoting to handle somo Texas busi
ness brought up by thr exhibit.

NOTE
LIFE OF SPURGEON.
By Russoll H. Conwell, D. D., LL. D.
Wo aro pleased to learn that a Bi
ography of the world's greatest divine
ChurleB II. Spurgcon, of London, in
boiuc prepared by one of America's
mr.st popular looturcs and pulpit ora
tors, Rov. Russell H. Conwell, of
Philadelphia
Thin must necessarily bo a very
rioh book, und oujjht to find a place
in every family. No man of the tune
tnenth contury has so universally won
the heart and esteem of mankind as
tho, late Mr. Spurgcon, and at tho
aatno time lived bo eventful and inter
esting a life. His career has been
full of signal surprises and remarkable
oocurronoes.
Mr. Conwoll's personal familiarity
with Mr. Spurgoon and his life, to
gother with his great ability as an au
th or and popularity as an orator and
minister is a guarantee to the pubho
of a brilliant, entertaining and in
structive book. JNoxt to Mr. Spur-
goon's Tabernacle in London, Mr.
Conwell, perhaps, preaches to tho
largest regular congregation of any
minister in the world, and in many
respects his work in Philadelphia so
closely resembles that ol tho great
London divino that be is not infre
quently called tho Spurgeon of Amer
ica Before entering tho ministry Mr.
Conwell was a lawyer, great travel
er, a journalist, and author of soveral
popular books.
"Conwell s Life of Spurgeon" will
undoubtedly be regarded as tho stand
ard bioaraphy of the great London
Preacher, aud is sure to have an im
mense sale.

well-koown firm of Hubbard Bros.,

A SERIOUS DIFFICULTY,

ocptions aud called him to account
Powoll oau,e to his boarding house
about 7 o'clock yesterday evenii.g aud
called him out on the strcat and afier
somo rough word between them he
was struck in the forehead with what
he took to bo brass knucks, and sUg
gored. Powell again made at bim,
when he (Watt's) drew his pistol and
fired two shots, and Powell ran The
vers'on of Powell is that he was pass
ing Watts boarding house in the af
ternoon and was stODoed bv him and
a difficulty sought, He told Watt's
that he would return with borne in
torested friends after suppor
and settlo "the matter. He went to
Watts' boarding house about 7 o'clock
and knocked at tho door and asked for
him. Watts answered from within
and told him he would bo out in a few
minutes. He (Powell) then wont out
to tho oorner of Clay streot and Watts
soon camo out. Angry words followod
and he struck Watts in tho forehead
with a rook ho held in his hand and
nearly knocked him down. As Watts
was recovering ho attempted to stnko
him again when Watts drew his pistol
and firod, the ball just urazintr his

of tho combatants aro serious, but
painful. Powell received a flesh wound
in the loft arm and Watts will oarry
to his grave an ugly boar upon his
brow and all on account of foolish
bickerings and magnified tattlings
about a girl.

says:
"A gentleman of this received a
letter from Waoo, Texas, yesterday
whioh stated that there was a good
deal of feeling being worked up over
tho shooting affray in whioh O. W.
Buok, formor resident of this oity was
ono of the principals, resulting, it
will be reraemberod, in the death of
his opponent aoonduotor by tho namo
of Fofvzer. The bondsmen, the letter
states, wero once mtn of wealth, but
wero not considered bo now. This
must be a mistake as tho Waco Daily
News received at this offioe, declares
that they are worth a hundred times
the face of tho bond."
The News will repeat for the bono
fit of the Sioux Falls readers that the
gentlemen who signed Mr. Buck's
bond are worth two hundred times tho
faoe of it.
