ClevelanifcSnperiorBakinilPfiwder. Absolutely the Besl. Mr. Mcteod's denial of the fact Is the merest quibble, being based on the state mont that tho coal company Is one corpo ration and the railroad company another. The same unfeeling monopolists meet at one time in one place as a coal company and fix tho price for mining; and ut another time in another place and fix the prloe for transportation and tho result is the total Increase of the cost of coal to the consum ore, which the retail dealers of Now York who yesterday added 60 cents a ton to the price, say Is $1.30 higher than it was last January, when the exigencies and emergen cies of tho winter soason made the real oost of transportation hlghor than it Is to-day.

XThe Insolence of these monopolists who thus defy the law and the machinery of the tw is further shown by this man's intimation that if New Jersey does not take care what It is doing it will withdraw from it the benefit it now derives from the transportation of coal on its railroad lines. It Is also shown in the intimation that they know how to keep up their combination in defiance of the law and intend to do it, by substituting an unwritten agreoment for a written one to stand together lh fixing the price of coal and transportation and di viding the extortionate profits in the pro portions already arranged; for he says that the combination, though he does not call it that, will continue in the future its busi ness of putting coal on the markets at as fair prices as it Is able to secure." But he may be rudely undeceived as to this. Pennsylvania am New York are yet to be heard from, and both are extremely interested in this New Jorsey decision. It makes the points quite clear to their legislators and other officials that a monopoly in coal was never intended by the people who gave these roads their charters; that their charters give them no power to combine as they have done; and that their course is destructive of competition, an injury to trade and commerce, and a public oppression; and if there is no other way in which they can be reached, an effectual proceeding would be found in the forfeiture of their charters That this ought to be is clear enough now; for a more wicked and heartless com bination does not exist, and there is no necessary of life In which speculation is so utterly without excuse, there being no ques tion whatever as to the amount of the coal crop, so to speak, and therefore no reason why it should vary in price. THE ELECTION OF MO LEY.

The re-election of John Morley in Newcastle; by a greatly Increased majority is rightly regarded by the Gladstonians as an event full of good cheer for the Grand Old Man and the Home Rule cause. Had there been any serious dissatisfaction with the cabinet as recently announced, something very different from an increase in the ma jority would have been the result of the struggle at Newcastle, where the Tories were confident scoring a victory. The town is a distinctly radical community, in the sense that the balance of power is held by labor reformers who wish, above all things, to improve the condition of the laboring masses, and who to that end would just as soon vote for a Tory as a Liberal If they thought the latter would be the more likely to advance the cause they have at heart. That these men, despite the noise made of late by Mr. Labouehero, resolvfcVfo-startil by Gladstone and by Morley as his repivaieutative must be accepted as proof positive that the cabinet as It stands Is satisfactory and that the Home Kule bill Is to have the backing of the radical labor" jwii Of England as well as of the thoroughgoing Liberals.

Another Tory deluslou dissipated by the vote for Morley is that there is bound to be dissension iu the Irish ranks when the Home Rule bill makes its appearance. Had there been any such tendency to dissension it would have shown Itself at Newcastle, where the Irish vote is an important factor. What we have seen Instead of dissension Is the spectacle of Parnellites and antl-Par-nellites working zealously side by side to secure the election of Mr. Morley. whose Home Rule views are well known, and who Is to discharge In the cabinet the all-important duties at the present juncture of the chief secretaryship for Ireland.

This Is a feature of the contest that must be regarded as of the highest significance, for there is no doubt whatever that the Irish leaders have been informed of what are to be the essential features of the measure which is shortly to be presented to Parliament for the purpose of restoring to their country the right to manage its own domestic affairs. THOMAS H. RODMAN. The circumstances under which the death of Thomas H. Rodman occurred, necessarily glve a severe shock to the sympathies of the community in which the deceased gentleman had long been a conspicuous and an honored citizen but after all it is well to remember that he probably suffered but little, and that his death ought, perhaps, to be attributed to the debility of age rather than to the injuries sustained in his bath tub.

Mr. Rodman, we should remember in this relation, has beon an invalid for at least two years, and more than a year ago was declared to be beyond recovery. A very little thing suffices, as we all know, to turn a wavering scale, and the scale of Mr. Rodman's life was poised as on a hair. A little too much heat did precisely what a slight cold or any slight shock to the nervous system would have effected.

Mr. Rodman was in times not remote an active and influential citizen of Brooklyn, although he never held any important office except the District Attorney- hip for a short ad Interim por- lod. He was a man to give counsel rather than to mingle in the heat of the battle, aud he was pcrnaps it.sver more effective than when he apieared to be least concerned in what was going on. His mind was of a calm and ami able cast, and all his tendencies were conciliatory. Ho had friends in both parties and had at times pursued a course which left tho public In doubt as to which he cared most for, but the set of his mind was distinctly (democratic, aud the greater part of his political exertion had been put forth to promote the success of tho Democracy.

Perhaps, howovcr, we come nearest to an accurate discription of his mental attitude when we call him an Independent with strong Democratic leaniuge. He liked the principles of the Democracy but found fault at time with its policies, and thus felt constrained slonaly to cast his vote for the Republicanism in whfch he fundamentally disbelieved because ffli measures of temporary expediency he was at variance with the party whose leading tenets were his own. No political differences, however, prevented holding him In htirh respect and Inthe southern section of the city where his home hud boon from boyhood almost his da will be the cause of wldo and unaffected sorrow. PLATT IS PLACATED. I I con Some oi our contemporaries appear sidorably excited, and indeed surprised, be cause Boss Piatt called at Republican head quarters yesterday and had a harmonious conference with Chairman Carter and some other of the Republican campaign man ngera; but to a newspaper has takou tho common sense view of tho situation set forth in Tim Citizen from the start, there is nothing surprising in it.

Mr. Piatt has never evinced any disposl tlon to retire from politics, and there is only ouo way to hold his present place theroin as a factor of any oonsequonco to the Republican party. He has, of course, something for sale which it is to the Interest of the President to purchase; but he was in a position to demand his own price therefor, and there need be no doubt that he has got It. Recent history shows that in a Presidential campaign New York has yet to be counted as a doubtful State, although there Is not the slightest doubt that on State issues it, is decidedly Democratic as a whole. Therefore it is Idle to predict at this stage of the campaign how it will go this year, seeing that the chiof work of the campaign and the sounding of the popular sentiment yet remain to bo done.

But Inasmuch as Mr. Piatt has absolute control of the Republican machine in the State, it may be safely asserted that without the ac tive participation of the machine in the work yet to be done there would be no chance whatever of its being carried for Harrison; for a million voters are not to be influenced at the polls as a few hundred del egates to a nominating convention may be. Harrison won at Minneapolis in spite of flatts opposition, because the latter only represented one State out of forty odd, but Piatt has just now no opponents in his own State within his own party, and If the Presi dent ignored him he would have to work without the aid of the Piatt machine. It was therefore a foregone conclusion from the first that Harrison would seek his as sistance, and that it would be extended to the best of the latter's ability. The only question was as to when they would make up, and even as to that it was certain that they would do so before the campaign fairly began.

This first visit of Piatt's to headquarters settles the matter now, and notwithstand ing the little rivalries between minor poli ticians of the party such as served to give some life to politics in Brooklyn during the hot weather, we may look for a harmo nious effort on the part of the Republicans from this out to keep their hold on the Federal patronage, which Is the one thing that binds them together, as any one can see from the differences of their leaders on the Force bill and the Tariff issues, and some others. Leading Democrats understand this, and it is well that It should be also understood by the rank and file, so that the battle may not be lost through suplneness caused By an underestimate of the enemy's strength or their interest In the contest. When the question of the solvency of an ice company was before the Supreme Court yesterday, its counsel said the good will was an asset and was worth $100,000. The Idea that any ice company could have any good will," considering their treatment of the public, was so funny that some people went outside to laugh lest the oourt fine them for misbehavior. The cholera is an enemy more feared than embattled armies, and European nations have forgotten their rivalries and jealousies and are uniting to fight it.

A heavily loaded peach train collided with a drill engine near Elizabethport, N. yesterday, and there was a heap of peach jelly manufactured, the quickest on record. Chaunoey B. Ripley, once a Republican. is looking for the Democratic nomination for Governor in New Jersey.

He is opposed to the "protection" polioy. Isn't It time for McKinley to take the stump in New Jorsey Mayor Quant has signed the ordinance allowing the horse-car road from Harlem Bridge to Fordham to use the trolley. He thinks the trolley better than horses for a country district, but not for the city, a common sense view. President Tyler of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada makes the same silly mistake as the others concerning the Re taliation Act He calls it President Harrison's action and an attempt to gain votes, though he ought to know that the act was passed by a Democratic House, and that therefore there can be no partisan advantage in it for either side. Canada Is trying to get Great Britain's help to establish a fast line of steamshtps from Halifax to London to connect with her Grand Trunk Railway.

Canada is small, but ambitious. NEW RAILROAD DEPOT. Long I -i land It art to Erect One at Jamaica. At the Long Inland Bailro id Company is to erect a new depot at Jamaica. The present one is almost falling to pieces and affords little comfort to passengers.

The patrons of the rorvl who reside in Jamaica appealed to the company time and again to improve the waiting room at that Tillage, but to no use. Work has already begun toward building a new depot. The old engine- house on the south side of the railroad yard is being torn downt iind it is said that it will take a month before the new one is completed. School Beads Sold.

Third Aa to politics. The Democrats in this State in the present campaign are making use of the fig-urea just given you, as showing the prosperity of the negro under this party, and the splendid facilities which the party has given him for the education of bia children. They are also using the tariff. They hope to how that the negro, as a consumer, pays taxes to every protective industry of the Nortn and East at the rate of about S3 to 37 per cent, on the necessaries of life, and that the tariff is a tax which reaches him in his home and levies tribute on him 'for the support of monopolies and trusts. These we submit are arguments which are well calculated to carry weight with every intelligent man irrespective of his color or previous political opinions.

They particu larlv deserve the attention of old-time Northern Republicans who may still be under the delusion that the colored voter in the South would be solid for the Republi cans but fof unlawful interference by the Democrats. Unless it be argued that the negro is not affected by the reasons which are decisive with white men, it is not easy to see why he should in face of the record as it stands do anything else than support the Democracy. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM NOW. Cholera germs might exist In such an atmosphere as we have here now, but they eould only lie dormant at the most, and there is therefore no reason for any serious apprehension on the part of our people because of the rush of passengers from infected localities In Europe. The few cases that might get ashore any where within our borders would be unable to infect others to any great extent, and perhaps not at all.

In addition to that, it will be a very difficult matter for even one case to get ashore in this vicinity, because of the unusual vigilance and the precau tions taken by the health authorities. Health Officer Jenkins yesterday made an inspection of the hospital arrangements on both Hoffman and Swinburne Islands and found them entirely satisfac tory;" tmd he has notified the Secretary of the Treasury that any steamer having suspected cases or having deaths on board will be held until a bacteriological examination can be made, and if cholera is found all persons on board will be held at least seven days. The sick will be removed and placed In hospital. All baggage as well as the vessel will be treated with steam, and all parts of the vessel not subjected to steam will be washed with a solution of bi chloride of mercury. He has also recommended that all immi grants undergo a most thorough inspection on board vessels, with detention of those from infected or suspected districts for at least five days that they be bathed, and all clothing and luggage be disinfected by steam, and that a certificate of such cleans ing and disinfection, signed by the Consul be given to the ship's surgeon for presentation to the Health Officer at the port of entry.

This will show that the State authorities as well as the National authorities are fully alive to the danger and quite prepared to meet it, and to this it is hardly necessary to add that they will have the prompt and hearty support of the local Health officials of both New York and Brooklyn. Hence, as has been said before, there is no real occasion for alarm on the part of the public, though the advisability of leading a regular and orderly life and observing the law of cleanliness will impress itself upon the public more clearly than ever in view of what has already been said on the subject. THE SOLDIER BOYS. The tributes to the soldier boys of Brooklyn are of the most gratifying kind in the press throughout the State. They seem to have won golden opinions from all sorts of men, and even the strikers are willing to admit that they (lis.

-barged their duty with as much forbearance as could in reason have been expected under the 'circumstances. The warm welcome, therefore, which they received last night on their return home must be held to be justified by more than a natural local affection. The people of Brooklyn paid close attention to their behavior from the time the order calling them out arrived until they were with honor relieved from duty by the commanding officer of the State, and what they saw was sufficient to convince them that the National Guard in this city was at once a tower of strength for order throughout the commonwealth and a credit to the place from which it hails. AN INSOLENT MONOPOLY. What President McLeod of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company says concerning the decision of Chancellor Mc-Glll of New Jersey granting a preliminary injunction in the suit brought by the Attorney-General to restrain the companies in the Reading deal from carrying out their purpose and to declare the deal jllegal, is an Impertinent criticism and a virtual defiance of the court.

He says that the older entered is that of an Intermediary tribunal on ex parte affidavits and not upon evidence and, that the companies will appeal to the higher court that the Chancellor took upon him a great responsibility In so acting instead of waiting in the usual and orderly administration of justice for the hearing of the cause upon evidence. He also characterizes the decision as 4 remarkable," and insinuates that it was influenced by the clamor over the price of coal, and closes this part of his personal criticism of the Chancellor by the defiant remark that neither his decree nor the lease it condemns can have anyjeffect on the price, because neither the Central Railroad of New Jersey nor the Port Reading are miners or shippers of coal. Altogether, this comes about as near to contempt of court as anything of the sort that has been allowed to pass unpunished of late. 'The Chancellor found on the evidence presented and admitted as true by the defense that the Reading company owns a majority of the capital stoek of the Reading Coal and Iron Company, and that the Central owns a majority of the capital stock of the Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Coal Company. This makes both of them coal producers in the clearest sense of the word as well as shippers of coal, dealers and operators who monopolize the business of mining as of transporting coal, and who In fixing the prloe for transportation as separate from the price for coal at the mines or at tidewater simply separate the total profit and put one portion into one pocket and the THE WHEELMEN'S NEW OR-GANIZA TION ATTACKED.

Abominable Letters Written by an Anonymous Scoundrel to Prominent Bicyclists-President Mil lor und His Committee to Secure Good Roads. The movement of Thk Citizen for good roads for wheelmen nnd the organization of the olass to be chiefly benefited has cnused a fellow of the "Jack the Ripper" type to become rampant again after several months of quietnde. This individual, whose identity there now seems to be strong hope will soon be discovered, devoted his energies during last winter to the business of writing letters to various prominent wheelmen nnd the lady memb'ers of their fami lies. These screeds contuinod the most virulent abuse of wheelmon nnd the foulest obscenity imaginable. One lady who received one of the missives was made ill by the shock, not knowing but that the fellow would follow up his vile abuse by personal violence.

The nature of the communications and the fact that they were in many cases sent to the wives and Bisters of the whoolmen pre vented any public notice being taken of them. Now, however, they have been collected, and with the last one will be placed in the hands of the authorities. The comparison of paper, envelopes, postmarks and other characteristics of the letters gives certain clues which it is be lieved will lead to the detection of the writer, The latest of the series was received bv Mr. Charles Schwalbnch, and after arraigning him for his friendly attitude toward the movement breaks out in the same filthy strain that characterizes the other effusions. The last previous effort of the fellow that can be traced was in January last, and was sent to the wife of prominent member of the Brooklyn Club just after an entertainment had been given at the clubhouse.

Mr. J. H. Mellor. the chairman of the meeting held on Wednesday at which a resolution was passed empowering him to appoint a committee of thirty to perfeet plans for a permanent organization of wheelmen for securing good roads, has Bent a circular to each club in the oitv re questing the president to furnish the names of avaiiauie meiunors 10 serve ana intimating tuat the presiding officer would be a desirable accession if willing to accept.

The circular has been mailed to every clnb whose whereabouts are known, but Mr. Mellor desires the Citizen to state that any elub failing to receive it will oblige by taking the will for the deed and send Mr. George T. Stebbins, care Brooklyn Bicycle Club, No. 62 Hanson place, the secretary, the desired names, Mr.

Mellor wishes to have the committee a thoroughly representative one, and in order to properly fill the twenty placet on it assigned to club men with men acceptable ts the clubs thsy are selected from, takes this course. He will also be glad to have sent to the same address the names of desirable men for the committee who are not attached to any club, as he is required to select the names from this class, and wishes to have them represent the unattached riders as well as may be under the existing conditions. Those are my sentiments exactly," said Mr. Stebbins, of the Brooklyn Club, as he finished reading the interview with 11 a veteran member" of that organization in last evening's Citizen. I am convinced that the new local league will prove a powerful agencyin augmenting the ranks of clubmen, and do not doubt but that there will be a great rush for membership this fall in cons'eqnence.

New clubs will also be started and the cause of wheeling receive such a stimulus as has never beenlknown before. Instead of being in a majority the unattached man will soon be lonesonu, with his tied up trousers and derby hat." The Bedford Cycle Club is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Thb Citizen'h movement in the city. This ts what a leading member says: "If the question of good roads is to be poshed and a smooth and safe path for wheelmen secured to Coney Island all the boys 1 will have to pnt their shoulders to the wheel and help The Citizen in its worthy work. Its contention for the improvement of the right-hand roadway of the Ocean Parkway is the only practical plain yet proposed." Wheelmen who desire to see this good work carried to a speedr snd successful end nnd who sre not members of any club having a copy of the petition accessible are requested to sign the petition given below and forward it to the sporting editor of The Brookltn Citizen: To the Honorable lh Park Commit nonr We, the uBdertifoMl wheelmen, haartUr indorse and support The Citizen in (he effort to improve sad bnild a separate road for wheelmen. This ie a lona-felt want among the wheeling fraternity, and honld Tas Citizen aoceeed Ita effort to havs the rlsbt-haBd roadway of the Oeean Farkwar improved for the ue of wheelmen, there will be no ead to the taankef irinsr of the driven as well as the oreUst Ab4 roar petitioners will ever praj.

In 90 per cent, of tho accounts of run aways, tho horse was frightened by a passing bicycle," is always prominent, whereas. the frightening of the horses i often due to some other cause. The accident on the Eastern Park way on Monday evening was, as usual, charged against the bicycle, but I hare reason to believe, as do several others, who, together with myself witnessed it. that it was not a bicycle but the passing of two teams racing that started the horse off. This racing on the parkways, enriancerinir the lives of other drivers, aa well as pedestrians and wheelmen, is.

although not sanctioned bv any park or oity ordinance, never interfered 1th. In thus protesting I represent numerous others whom I have spoken with on the subject Yours respectfully, tDwAUi u. urainehd, 47 Le avenue. THEATRES AND HALLS. COLUMBIA THEATRE-" Incaa-."

Governor Northen, of Georgia, has writ-sn a letter to a member of the Afro-Amerl-an Club of Chicago, which sheds some ght on the roasons why so many of the olored people of the South are supporting ae Democratic party. Taking the results Democratic rule in Georgia as illustrate, what appears is that the colored people re being moro efficiently educated and are rowing in wealth much more rapidly than vv did when the Republicans were in ower.

For a time the negro could controlled by appeal to his fears nd to the veneration in which holds the name of Abraham tineoln but this is so no longer. He has tamed like his white brethren that the war us were permanently settled long ago, nd that the Republicanism of to-day has no ther relation to that of the Lincoln period tan is Involved inthe mere name of the arty. In this sense he has worked out his wn emancipation. He lias freed himself rom prejudice and from the domination of emogogues, which is almost as great a latter as the proclamation which struck off physical shackles ot his fathers. Inder Lincoln the opportunity was toured for the colored man to show whether was fit for citizenship by the vigor of llnd he has displayed and is displaying he as demonstrated his worthiness of the op-ortunlty.

To live not in the past, but in le present; to be controlled not by toughts of what has gone away never to st urn. and to give himself unreservedly to le solution of problems which concern all jnerir.an citizens alike to-day these are le things which are being seen by the col-red man with increasing clearness to be lone worthy of him If he means to vindicate le men Democrats and Republicans alike -who made an end of human slavery in this tun try. According to Governor Northen, the con-derations which are being pressed on the tention of the colored people are the fol-nving: Pint Wiih regsrd to education. Under the epnblican regime in thia State the negroes era given no facilitiea and no opportunities (or location.
