“Truth above all things.”

The New York Press says that coal
sold for $9 a ton in Hartford in 1828.
There is now a fine prospect that it will
sell for that price again, or more, be-
fore the coming winter is over. Indeed,
there is nothing to prevent the rapa-
cious Reading combine from running
coal up to ten or twelve dollars a ton.

. Kolb Will Flzht.
A Montgomery, Ala., special dis-
patch says that ex-Commissioner Kolb,
late alliance candidate for governer, is
out in a published letter disputing the
claims of Jones to election. 'The letter
concludes: “I have been fairly and
honestlyelected by over 40,000 major-
. ity and the peeple of my native state
recognize the fact and will see that jus-
tice is accorded by placing me at the
head of our state government for the
next two years.”
The letter creates a sensation and is
regarded as an evidence of Kolb’s in-
tention'to challenge the official count,
which is nearly completed, and which
fixes Jones‘ majority at between 9,000
and 12,000.
Wabbly Southern States.
We have given a critical review of
the political uncertainties environing
several of the hitherto republican
states of the west and it is well to con-
sider the dubious situation in which
Several hitherto solidly democratic
Southern States are now floundering.
The recent election in Alabama is most
significant in its results. An analysis
of the returns establishes a curious fact
that Jones, the regular democrat, has a
majority of the negro vote, while Kolb,
the bolting democrat,has a majority of
the white vote. That means in Alaba-
ma a great deal of bitterness. It is not
probable that Kolb can take his con.
test to the Legislature. The democrats
of Alabama are not in the habit of per-
mitting elections to be contested, and
they have provided no machinery by
whicha contest can be taken to their
Legislature. There is no doubt that
Kolb was denied inspectors at the bal-
lot boxes in the “black belt,” which
was a gross violation of the law. It
was the custom, however, to which the
democrats were accustomed to resort as
against the republicans.
It is undeniable that the democratic
leaders are apprehensive that. if this
factional contest in Alabama shall not
be settled by compromise, there will
be danger that some of the electors,,at
least of that state, may be lost to the
democratic ticket. There' are no ap-
prehensions as to the third party. The
fear is that the republican ticket may
in part be successful between these two
factions.
The present plan Of the Kolb leaders
. is to put out an electoral‘ticket of their
own and claim to be the white man’s
party. If any large number of their
democratic followers vote for it. the re-
publicans who voted for Kolb will fall
in line for Harrison. The negroes who
divided last Monday said in all their
speeches that they were republicans,
but had a choice as between two demo-
crats,and would be for Harrison in No-
vember. The gravest apprehensions
are. therefore, felt that the republicans
may slip in between the divided, de-
mocracy.
It is very clear that Jones was either
elected by the votes of the colored men
whom his party have deprived of their
‘ political rights for years by intimida-
tion and violence, or that the demo-
cratic success in Alabama is due to gi-
gantic frauds upon the ballot-box.
Governor Jones owes his re-election to
the vote given him in what is known as
the “black belt” counties. In eight of
these counties only, the majorities
credited to him exceed his total majori-
nty in the state twice over. The aggre-
gate , majority for Jones, the regular
Democratic candidate, seems likely to
settle down at about 10,000, but the fact
that in fifty of the sixty-two counties
officially returned ballots have been
thrown out showing a net loss to Kolb
of about 2,500, clearly indicates that
the regulars are not entirely confident
of the safety of their posxtion.
' The important lesson of the) Alabama
election is in the fact that an apparent
majority of the white voters of the
state voted the People’s ticket. This
is notice to party leaders all around
that the People’s party is a most im-
portant factor in the national contest;
and this extraordinary exhibition of
‘ strength in Alabama will be a double-
edged sword to out both parties in the
Presidential battle. It will dO'much to
unsettle several of the 'southern states,
' and it will do much to unsettle several
of the western and northwestern states.
Leaders of both sides will do well to 2'
lookout for the locomotive when the
People’s party bell rings.
In‘ Georgia, in Louisiana, Florida
and other southwestern states, threats
* are already made that if the election
tactic of the hunker'democracy‘isto be
'put in play to down the Pe6ple’ a party
" as it has the republicans hitherto, the
people’ 8 party will unite with the latter
and thus elect all the republican clec-_
tors possible. The potent strength Of
the ' Alliance in the south cannot be
lightly- considered by either party.
All .
this emphasizes the grave and almost
supreme importance of New York‘ in
the Presidential contest, as it becomes
clearer every day. that whichever party
secures the electoral vote of the Em-
pire State wins, and that neither party
can triumph without it. Of course both
parties new claim the best prospect of
carrying New York, but the democracy
is badly handicapped by the fact that
its whole democratic delegation signed
and published at Chicago a proclama-
tion that Cleveland’s nomination would
expose the party to the loss of the elect-
oral ticket. That this was * confined to
the Presidential vote. made it peculiar-
lv a personal menace. No declaration
of such gravity has been made by the
republicans Opposing President Harri-
son. Cleveland, therefore, is complete-
ly in the hands of the enemies he was
loved for making.
It would be a singular result should
the Alliance at the South and West
succeed in sending the election to the
House. in which event Cleveland would
be elected President, and Reid elected
Vice-President by the Senate.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE SAALE.
The Bark. Tordenskjold Was Headed DI-
rectly for Her When She Was Sighted.
LONDON, Aug. 12.—A passenger on the ,
North German Lloyd steamer Saale, which
ran dowu and sank the Norwegian bark
Tordenskjold, says that it was somewhat
hazy on the evening of Aug. 4, and with
only a few minutes’ warning the Saale ran
into a dense fog bank. Her engines Were
immediately slowed and she was run ata.
speed of seven knots.
While the passengers were at dinner
they were startled by the steamer’s
pausing and reeling slightly, and then
was heard the crashing of timbers. The
shock was so light that nothing was upset
on the tables. Many of the passengers has-
tened to the deck. Captain Richter was on
the bridge. It was found that the steamer
had struck the bark amidships, cutting her
in half. The crew at the bark olambered
over the bow of the Saale, and some of
,them escaped without even getting wet.
During the whole affair perfect order pre
veiled on board the Sale. The passengers
on the steamer collected the sum of fifty-
six pounds, which was presented to the
crew of the Tordenskjold.
From conversations with others on board
the steamer it is belieued that when the
commander of the Saale saw that a collision
was inevitable, the bark being headed dir-
ectly for the steamer, and too close for the
Sale to get out of her way, he changed his
course and steamed head on the bark, cut-
ting her in two. Had he not done this the
bark would have struck the Sale on her
broadside.
