ment from Senator Kenyon of Iowa,
a member of the committee, that "if
the American people were robbed as
the war department wa3 robbed on
coal last fall the robbery ran up to
hundreds of million of dollars."
Taking up the other side of ' the
controversy as regards the high
prices charged for coal, last year,
Senator Sutherland republican West

out of reason, coal 'operators who
stood back had to take the money,
though they were ashamed to do so."

contemplated by the committee
brought the further announcement
from Chairman Calder that legisla

:ome from him. He was a victim of
wanderlust, it seems and loved!

came they had almost relinquished
hope of ever hearing any news what
ever of the wanderer. The message

and thirty-cent issues of 1869, with
flags inserted.
The gem of the American collec

Confederate States of America,
bearing on the ri^ht hand a five-1
cent stamp in 'black, on the left a'
Confederate seamen nailing the'
Stars and BaTs to the mast, and in'
the centre the official Post Office |
poet's lyrical efforts as follows:
On, on 'to the rescue, the vandals

Go beat them with bayonet and
sabre and spear,
Drive them back to the desolate
land they are leaving,
Go, trust in God, you have noth-j
. ing to fear. i
