I I his pregant paragraph rtl calls all honorable and iniqul labor which the Record hfl accomplished. Jou rn a lira the world has fl complied the great thihfl that journalism hfl accomplished. It has for oil thing proposed like Bacon fl take all learning for its profl ince, and it covers so wide 9 range of thought and lite fl ture that it has driven tfl magazines to illustrations fl float them. But it has becoifl a uositive force as an orgaifl zation iu the accomplishmefl of public work. Recall tfl work it did in raising sul scriptions during the yelloß fever epidemic One Nel York paper has for years al ministered a fund to send tfl poor children of the city infl the country tor a summer otfl ing and also to find comfofl able homes for them in rurfl districts. Another paper fl the same city, the woifl knows, sent out an expeditiefl that found Livingstone ail explored the dark Continefl and Mfill another expedjtifl to attempt to reach the norfl pole. Now the Philadelp™ Record hay undertaken tfl more homely,, but benefiofl work of fighting the greefl soal monopoly of Pennsylval ia. For months it has waffifl this war, and has suoceededifl compelling a reduction of fl cents per ton. But more tlal this, the Record has made afl agent of itself, and the peepfl of Philadelphia can now orlflj of it coal at the reduced piefl of $5.75 per ton, and it tifl fill the order with no cost f<l delivery and guarantee tlfl full weight of 2,240 pouidfl We trust the record will gfl on with its good work, luß make the impression ufefll Congress that it has updnfhfl coal monopolists a nd forcetlfl abrogation of the tariff difl cn coal. “Free fuel” is a gx)fl war cry.—lndianapolis Nwfl
