I I think I know It here. I do not like j It. Trusts, thunks to you, we rani manage. Tariff reductions for trusts we can meet in agreement. Tariff re vision we cannot discuss. I do ont | fear it. ; But the rise in the price of coal we I can trot argue with. It hurts people I and they aay (this is literal) "We don't care whether you are'to blame or not, Coal is going up and the par ty in power must be punished.” The colder the day gets, the more people will want real and the more they will have to pay if the strike goes on. By the first week in November, if the. strike does not stop and coal begins to go down, we shall have an over turn. I am no alarmist, but the tndi cations now on this alarm me. I care nothing for the rest. Despit* Henderson and the tariff. «nd the trusts, I believe we should hold the house and come nut all right If it was not for the rising price per ton of coal, which we cannot onswer because it produces an unreasoning sentiment. Now I do not write this lb bother you needlessly, but to tell you the very great danger in this re gion and to ask if there is no pres sure to bring to bear on these "operat ors to make some small concession— s small one would do now. We have powerful friends in business. The ad ministration Is strong. Can nothing he done—not In public of course. $1 know that is out of the quesuon, but by pressing the operators? It seem* to me the crying need of the mo ment. I am ineffective in such mat ters as tp coal barons, but I will go anywhere, do anything I can. There'' Bre other# far better than I whom you can call on. There is si ill time, plenty of time, to deal with It. Take care of yourself.

J.uclen Stephen# sake the world, "Who kissed tha king"" Not that it matter# so much, but he wishes to get his history straight. The regal osculation nnpurred 50 years ago In the flrand Central hotel, then located on the present site of the Paxton. Stephens, who is a member of the library hoard snd a threescore-old native son of Omaha, had several ambitions when he attended the Jack son Si reet school, on Jackson streel, lift wren Twelfth and Thi(teentl) streets. He wanted to he an acro bat in a circus and to have the au tograph of a king. He realized the latter. Half a century ago Omaha- enter tained King David Kalakaua of the Sandwich islands. Accompanied by his father, William Stephens, Luelen Stephens was in l he throng which messed forward to get a glimpse of his royal highness at the flrand Cen tral. "I want the kina's autograph," said I.ueien to his father. , "Try and get It." the father re plied Lucler» obtained the autograph. Wore Gorgeous Kaiiueot. "I remember the king was more than six feet tall, that he wore gorgeous ralnment and that an Omaha, woman kissed him." Stephens related. "When l write my memoirs of Omaha 50 years ago I would like to have the name of the woman who kissed the king of Hie Sandwich islands." The visit of King Kalakaua was an important event in the life of Omaha 50 years, ago. The newspaper men stretched themselves to cover every detail, and the city and school officials extended every courtesy. The Masonic fraternity had a. special In terest In the occasion, the king heing a member of that organization. The king arrived In a special car at tached to fhe Kansas City. St. Joseph and Council Bluffs railroad train from the south. He was accompanied by C,ov. John O. Domlnis and flov. John M. Kgpena of Honolulu: also Col. William Wherry, 1'ntted States army; tton. H. A. Pierce. United States minister to the Sandwich Is lands: Col. A. C. Dawes, railroad of ficial . and Col. James N. Burns, St. Joseph capitalist. Midnight Address. The king and his party arrived hero at )\ p. m., and Kalak&ua responded to calls for a brief talk at the station, but be declined to make a second ap pearance to sat iffy a party of be luted women in their carriage*. The rec ords show that Mayor Chase and others escorted the party to the Grand Central hotel for "rest and several rounds of champagne." The next day the king was taken for a drive around the city whose principal business center was along Farnam street, from Fourteenth to Ninth streets. There were no perma nent pavements, Horse-drawn street car* were used. The king admired a view of ihe Hty from Capitol hill, now the sire of Central High school. He met Prof. S. I>. Reals, superin tendent of school*, and Members How ard Kennedy and. Coutant of fhe school board. Seven hundred school children greeted the ruler of the Sandwich islands. At p. rn. sir knights of Mount Calvary rommand ery, Knights Templar, escorted the king to their headquarters. “Mob In Broadcloth.” The arrival of the king wee re ferred to by a newspaper man In these words: "People of sll ages, eidors and conditions were at the de pot, and the well dressed throng, pressing and pushing In the corridors of tile magnificent hotels, reminded one of what a gifted Englishwoman. Harriet Martlneau. said many years : go, that a mob In America was a moh In broadcloth.” It la related that members of the Omaha reception (ommittee wore ellk top hats. The presentation of a bouquet of flowets by Chris Hartman to the king was recorded as follows: ”The bouquet was a model of beauty, the flowers charming, and the arrangement was :n the height of good taste. The cen ter was a magnificent (alia lily sur rounded by double scarlet, rose, pink, white and salmon geraniums, prim roses. begonias, heliotropes. Stellas stra wflowers, sgeratums, cvclomen. lantanas and rose geraniums, all colors of pinks and a dozen varieties of callas. all arranged In a circum ference of 12 Inches.” The distinguished visitor was de scribed as "good looking, rather ro I tund. young, polite,* and while he speaks English fluently, It Is always with a constrained manner observed in one who uses a foreign tongue." Graceful Dancer. Among the Omahans who enter tained the king were C. F. Catlin, G. W. Trtnlnge r and Tl. C. Sutphen, the latter being grandfather of Manager Joy Sutphen of Brandels theater, and of Ear) Sutphen. Among the dancing partners of the king at the Grand Central were Mrs. Catlin. Miss Me geath and Miss Butterfield. The king was desrrlbed as a graceful dancer. notwithstanding his ro tundity. Along the route from SJ Eouls to Omaha Colorel Burns of St. Joseph occasionally disguised himself as the king to relieve hts majesty of the fa tigue of appearing an often on the rear platform. And If someone will tell T.uelen Stephens who kissed the king In Omaha RO years ago, he or she will he doing a kind set. hi* own. He Is rbail with pride end vanity apparently. A large number of “business men’’ seem to be for him as he has made several—10 or more—million* In speculation in •stocks. I sometimes think that “the busi ness man In politics’’ ia too often one who has no business to be there. Give my best love to Edith. Ever yre, H. r. HODGE. UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Dear <’abot: Now as to what you say about the (coal) situation. I entirely agree with you that It Is alarming, and chiefly from the cause you mention. There I- a further cause, ^’ow that there |-i complaint of high prices at home, people are being very much worried at the way in which articles are sold ,nt a lower price abroad than they me sold here The fart ls undoubted. It la of course due to further fact that In every business the surplus Is disposed of nt below the regular prices. The popular way of expressing the fail la that the trusts sell good* low t-r abroad than at home, because of Die way they are pampered by 1b* Icriff; yet the type example being used, for initariee, In Kansu* Is the m Ice of a pair of American shoes In Kansas and In laindon respectively; nd of emir"* there la no shoe trust. This I* a tariff question pure end simple, and has no rela I ion whatever to the trusts. Yet I think It has a good deal Of a hold on the popular mind Moreover, In th* Northwest there la a good deal of formleaa and 'ague untaslntaa about tha trust* In favor of tariff revision. Blit the great roncrete trouble Is In connection with the coal strike. The tariff of course has nothing whatever to do with the matter, ns there is no tariff on anthracite coal. No Trust Existed. The coal operators are not com hined so as to enable us legally to cell them s trust; snd If they were, all that we could do would he to pro ceed against them under the law against trusts, and whatever might he the effect as between them and the consumers In ordinary times, •urh a proceeding would damage, slightly, at least, hoth them and the working miners, and would therefore have no possible effert of a fa-jorable nature upon the present etrlkc even if it were not Improper to take It. There is literally nothing, so far as I have yet been able to find out. which the national government has any power to do in the matter, nor can T even imagine any remedial measure of Immediate benefit that could he taken by congress. That It would lie a good thing to have na tional"control, or at least supervision, over these big coal corporation*, t am sure; hut that would simply have to rnme as an incident of the general movement to exercise control over such corporations. All this Is aside from the immedi ate political effect. The same unrea soning feeling which made the farm er in Kansas hold the government responsible because he hlmsellf had tried in vain to carry on an Impossi ble agriculture In the arid regions, will make the peopjle hold the gov ernment responsible If they do not get enough coal.

Although Hie conference failed the failure does not in the least affect the fact that your action was eminently wise and has strengthened you beyond words with the people. T am so filled with anger against those operators that I have not dared to trust myself to speak of them In public. Such Insol ence and arrogance coupled with such stupidity I have never seen. 1 firmly believe Morgan is behind them. He Is plating with fire. The socialistic feeling Is growing apace and the demand that the government take the mines—one of the greatest disasters that could befall us. 1 sm not surprised that you are overwhelmed with suggestions of Im possible plans such as you describe. You can only keep up the pressure— t*-usf to public opinion snd wait on events just ss you are doing.
