A Forecast of tlio Probable Dotnnml null Supply of Winter Fuel. Citizens of Omaha should take time by the forelock and lay in Ihelr supply of winter coal. Weather prophets are not only prog nosticating another soverc winter , bul all Iho signs point to an advance , und mayhap a scarcity in the coal market. Now , it seems , is the golden opportunity. The market is full of coal , and all dealers arc more than fairly well supplied. How long this condi tion of things will continue there Is no loll ing , and it is inevitable thai before the severe wealher of winter sels in there will bo an other advance on the prices. The price now is , hard coal , flO.'Jj to $10.50 , retail , delivered , and soft coal , Western 7 and Illinois G cents. Just about the same as it was last year at this time , although the price lo dealers is fitly cents moro per ton Hum it was lasl year. This additional levy has been made by the operators and Jobbers at bolh Iho eastern and western supply poinls on account of an Increase in Iho freight rates. A rise in the price in the local market may bo looked for at any moment , owing lo probable inadequate transportation facililies. From this on to the opening of winter all the roads are busy hauling grain , which pays bolter than coal , nnd the roads are not apt to put themselves much out of the way to accommodate the coal dealers. From Oclo- ber on unlil spring It is always n difllcult mutter to get coal through , and already no tice has been sent out from Chicago of nn imminent advance of fifty cents over the present price , as the freight rates are to go up 50 cents on u ton. The main shipping centers of Iho east arc also report ing a shortage of sleek already , and what this portends the people can conclude for themselves. The city of Omaha consumes a vast quan tity of coal , bolh anlhracilo uud bituminous , but dealers claim that it would bo next to Impossible to estimate the quantity necessary ' sary to run the city through a severe'winter. The difficulty lies in the taslc of figuring oul Iho consumption from the shipments. The hard coal in this market comes principally from Buffalo , Scranton , Wilkusbarro and Lnckuwannn , nnd tlio soft coal from Iowa , Illinois , Kansas , Colorado nnd Wyo ming. The western soft coal Is said to bo far superior to lhal of the the Ohio , Hocking Valley , Susquehamm or olhcr caslcrn coals. Tlio Kansas coal Is inferior lo other western coals. It is a line steam , bul poor domcslic coal , but that of Uock Springs , Canyon Valley , Boulder and Deer Creek has no superior anywhere. They are all preferable to the oaslcrn coal for cither cleanliness or frco burning. In this city Iho hard coal is used cxcu- sively for healing purposes , and Iho soil for cooking and olher domestic pursuits. Some few eastern families hero use hard coal ex clusively. On the 1st of October there will be an advance in price at all the soft coal mines , and as a natural consequence the fig ures will go up here , nnd while the Union Paclllc , the Northwcslorn , Rock Island and B. & M. railways say Ihoy will huvo an abundance of cars all through the winter months , the dealers doubt it. Experience has been n lesson to them , and they see no reason for such u desirable chaiiga of accom modations for the prcscnl season. NEW OHDINANCES.

He advertised for nn assistant at a handsome salary , and when a verdant young man from Pennsylvania applied ho was required to de posit $500 with Ids employer as n guarantee of his honesty. Wales gave him n mortgage on the otllco furniture nnd a lot In St. .loo. The assistant was sent to Lincoln the next day on n wild geese chase , and the pseudo doctor fled the town. The ofllco furniture was claimed by other persons , tlio St. .loo lot was mythical and the young assistant had a bit of experience for his money. A man of the name of William R. Wales was arrested In Indianapolis last Saturday , charged with a transaction similar to the Omatm operation , and ho Is believed to bo the swindler who fled from this city.

From "Fifty Years Ago" : The decay of the great agricultural interest is u calamity which has been coming upon us slowly , though with a continually ac celerated movement. This is the reason , I suppose , why the country re gards it with so strange an apathy. It is not only that tlio landlords are rap idly encountering ruin , that the farm ers are losing all their capital , and that laborers IM-O daily turned out of work and driven away to the great towns : tlio very existence of the country towns is threatened ; the investments which depend on rent and estates are threatened ; colleges and charities are losing their endow ments ; worst of all , the rustic , the back bone and support of the country , who has always supplied all our armies with all our boldiers , is fast disappearing from the land. I confess that , if some thing does not happen to stay the ruin of agriculture in those islands. I think the oird of their greatness will not bo far oil. Perhaps I think and speak as a fool ; but it scorns to mo that a cheap loaf is dearly bought if , among other blessings , it doprhes the countryside of Us villugo folk , strong and healthy , and the empire of its stalwart soldiers. As for the hou-io'of lords and the English aristocracy , they cannot survive the day when the farm * cannot even sup port the hands that till the soil , and are loft untillcd and uncultivated.

Tlittriiinn'fl Colored Visitors. O. , Sept. 20. This afternoon O Thurnmii received n delegation of col ored dcmocrnts , who , through W. II. Fur- busli. of Arkansas , presented an address expressing - pressing their thankfulness for fuvois front the democratic party , expressing a belief In the division of the colored vote us for their * best interest , mid stilting their linn belief in the election of Cleveland and Thunimn. Judge Thurmatt greeted them warmly , and spolto substantially as follows ! "Gentlemen : I am greatly obliged to you for this call , und still more for the kind and just sentiments tlmthavo Just been rend liero. I know very well that I huvo boon repeatedly described as the enemy of the colored people. There never was * anything more unjust In the world. When my family came to this state my grandfather brought with him all his property , which consisted chietly of slaves , and no set them all free. My father never owned a slave ; my mother never owned a slave ; 1 never owned a slave , and would not If I could. Now I might also say I was raised among the colored people ; but wo cannot expect Justice in a political campaign , and I Imvo been denounced us the enemy of the I colored race. I deny nothing that Is true , but this charge Is untrue. No , man can point to a law that I\ had anything to do with the making of , or to any decision of mine while on the bench , that was more unjust to the colored people than to the whites , or unjust in any descrip \ tion , and 1 di-fy any one to show anything to the contrary. It is true that in ISliT , before the KulTrngo for your people had been adopted , when the question was In Ohio , and Ohio alone , whetiior the word "white" should bo struck Irani the constitution , together with a large majority I voted against strik ing it out. It was not right for Ohio to take such action when nearly nil the other states wore otherwise. That reason I urged against such aetfnn , but from the moment the amendment to the federal constitution was adopted which gave suffrage to the col ored people from that moment the.v became citizens , and no man can say 1 over treated them otherwise than as citizens. [ Applause. ] No man can say with truth that I have de nied equality before the linv of the colored people. Island , nndOrovurClovclnml stands , on the platform of tlio democratic party , which pronounces for equal rights for all without regard to race or color. That plat form means that every man , whether by birth , by naturalization , or by amendments to the constitution is u citizen , Is equal to any one before the law. JApplauso. ] White and black stand on the same foundation , ami all uro equal bolero the law. "I am greatly pleased that the colored vote is no longer a unit. 1 have said repeatedly , in public and in private , that I am glad that tlio suffrage was conferred upon the colored people. The republican managers seek to make political bondsmen of the colored race. Tlio way to aciuiro ] your rights ami tosoonro the respect of all is to cast your votes as the white metcast theirs according to tlio meas ure before you. " Judge Tliurman concluded by saying that ho knew well that the Into war" was not for the abolition of slavery , and it was said that If the union could bo pre served without freeing the slaves it would bo preserved Unit way. The speaker knew that Lincoln had said BO , and ho also know that In the brain of the radical leaders It was thought that by emancipating the slave and giving htm this suffrage the south might bo made a solid , radical south. In a word , ho said that party interests governed political action. After a cordial handshake the dele gation departed. In Imlinnn. RICHMOND , Ind. , Sept. SO. Hon. Roger Q. Mills addressed an audience of suverul thousand in this city to-day. Many clubs and organizations escorted the democratic leader to the grove in which the bpeceh was made. Mr. Mills , when ho began his speech , was greeted with much applause. The bur den of his speech was an argument to provo that the democratic party was the only true friend of the laboring men. lie also called attention to the fact that when the republi cans began to reduce the burden of taxation they did not begin to take tlio taxes oil the poor man , lint directly on * the rich. The re mainder of the speech was devoted to the tariff issue. Patrick Collins Grows Sarcastic. Nr.w YORK , Sent. 20. Hon.
