TIE canal board met in Cumberland
Tuesday. All the members were present
and several conferences held, but nothing
done. There is smell of junketing hang

time of the year.-Fr0st6urg JouIn
This is thoroughly stupid. 1t is simply
nobody's business but their own how much
of pleasure trip is made of their monthly
meetings. so long as the public business is
not neglected by the the members Of the
board. All the regular legitimate business
came before them, and moreover the trans
action of purchasing the Basin wharf was
put in Cumberland Allegansan.
We have no desire to interfere with
the business amboree meetings Of the
Canal board, but at the time the first
above item was written it was given
out that the proceedings were invest
ed with great privacy, so much SO
the public naturally concluded
that something heavy was on the
taps. Meanwhile it was plainly aver
ed in the Cumberland prints that at
the conclusion of the mysterious pro-
ceedings the members Of the canal
board would go to Oakland, Deer Park
and-etc. This latter statement, we
believe, was verified, while it turns
out that the snowy secrecy COW

The italics are ours and designate
the mice brought forth by the noun

bated breath awaited an issue in ac-
cordance with the ostentatious mask
which hid the mystic transactions
from popular view. 1t may be "ytu-
pid" to observe such matters, and
thoroughly" so to speak of them, but
it Is allowable. In this light we are
not sure how the prohibition-'it is
nobody's business but their own
should be characterized. However
eager, it is sorry defense, and des-
perate failure to establish even a
plausible excuse for work SO small
linked with pleasure so big.

THE MINING JOURNAL.
FRosTBURG, MD, JULY 81, 1877.


THE question involved in the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad trouble turns
upon the right Of certain employees to
enforce the rate of wages last obtained
from the railroad company. 1t is al
legged by Baltimore papers that for
this purpose they cannot fairly make
war upon the railroad company-that
if they cannot accept the companys
proposition they should give way to
those who will-that if they will earn
no bread for themselves they have no
right to deter their competitors from
doing so.
These propositions seem to be well
enough in their way. But it does not
appear that the belligerents are max
ing war upon the railroad company.
It looks rather like an assault upon
those of their fellows anxious to I'M
derwork them, and that the railroad
property is necessarily involved as the
medium through which they must
make their force felt. Whether legit-
innate or not, this is the only recourse
At hand to meet indisputable oppres-
sion, no less criminal because not
amenable to law.
Then as to the earning Of bread. If
it is grossly immoral or lawless to pre-
vent the new men from earning bread,
what must be said of these same new
men who are cowardly anxious to
take this bread from the old employ
ses? Are we to conclude that the
law, made to condemn the old men,
was also made to protect the new men
in their shame, uphold their mean
ness and enforce the commission o.
crime against their brothers? ltreally
so appears when even the military
arm of the United States is evoked
to "preserve law and order" based
upon principle unknown in the ethics
Of equal rights.
The issue is desperate one and
has been forced by the railroad COM
pany, seconded by men who are out
Unemployment because Topped Oft in re-
cent force reductions as those the COM
pany could best do without.
1t must be admitted it would have
been far better for all concerned had
the injured men found redress in some
other way. But what other way there
was at hand does not appear. When
the railroad is SO completely invest
ed with protection-in its tyran-
MES as we'll as its rights-it is
difficult for the wisest to determine
the day and hour hereafter when the
oppression will be resented and the
wrong repaired. With the existing
and growing power of corporations,
resistance delayed is right surrender
ed. In this case, the oppressed must
sooner or later succumb, but the i'm
munities of labor, if any, will suffer an
invasion which will aHlict for awhile
every interest dependent thereon.
Even the oppressor bleeds in the hour
Of triumph.

IT Is reported that Vanderbilt has
made a present OF 500, 900 to his en-
ploves on the \. Y Central rail road

men. Of this number 800 joined the
strikers, leaving II, 500 Of the faithful
to be commended, and rewarded by
the great rail road king. At first
sight this gift seems to be a ''big
thing aud 50 it is One hundred
thousand dollars is a deal Of money
y magnificent sum Of money to be
given away, but when we look at the
colossal fortune VIII ich MI Vanderbilt
has inherited. the gift sinks into
compa rative insi&niicance. Wander
hilt's worth is estimated to be not less
than $40, 000,0 900 and 100000 is
one five hundredth of this figure, or to
put it in another way, it is equivalent
to Il man possessing f0e dollars and
giving one penny to starving boy
who has been so good as to forego the
pleasure of attempting to control the
gentleman capital in their own way,
The good boys Of the "CentraP'
will get on an average about So 90
each Surely this is 4 reward not to
be sneezed at for rail road virtue
When we consider that the Central
road to day represents S50,000.000 Of
fictitious, or watered stock. and that a
dividend must be paid on this amount
the same as on bona file stock. thereby
necessitating the cutting down of ex-
penses, which means mems wages, we
are lost III amazemcnt at the self-sac-

The fact is Y anderbilt's gift is only
selfish piece of cunning figuring
which ought to be hurled back into his

is all they ask, and that 5000 doesn't

Dead-Heads.

There arc people in every cummu.
nifty who think that every newspaper
man is a dead head The New York
Ercning Post hits this class of people
a severe back-handed blow which we
think they deserve. 'In case any
thing happens to person, he hastens
to the nearest newspaper and demands
that the editor shall WELD his pen and
shed ink in his Yindication and de-
tense. And if the jaded editor does
not with alacrity espouse the cause of
his patron he will make an enemy for
life. Members of the press are lit
orally hunted down by all sorts of peo-
pie who have axes to grind The
managers Of public meetings who do
not find reporters at the desk suffer
pangs of disappointment, the judge
who generously blows his nose before
reading his opinion, looks anxiously
for the stenographer; the preacher who
descants upon some special subject,

the press arc not there; even the bur-
glar on his way to States prison COW
cts talk with a newspaper man.
Yet the outside barbarian thinks all
newspaper men are '.dead-heads,' and
envy them the fine times they have in
the way of free tickets to all manner of
shows. There never was a greater
mistake. People don't seem to realize
that on the part OF the journalist. it is
