THE hardships of the miners Of this
region in the few years past have
hardly been exceeded by those of any
laboring class anywhere. And the
extent Of the existing suffering is great
er than many of our own people i'm
agine. Notwithstanding. they have
submitted to reductions as gracefully
as possible under the circumstances !;
certainly they have never yielded to
the enticing appeals Of mob violence
to right their wrongs. Latterly,
when solicited to join the labor cru
SADIE on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, they have SO far thought it bet
ter to add nothing to the complica-
tions of the trouble, and have staid at
home to attend to their own business.
However just the complaints Of the
railroad men; however fair their de-
mands upon the company, our miners
remember no special exhibition of sym
pathy extended to them in their trou-
bles, by the railroaders. On the con-
trary, the latter, with their own
wages maintained, have as readily
carried coal mined at so cents per ton
as at IS cents.
Hence, there seems to be no apec-
ial claim upon the miners for interfer-
ence in the railroad trouble, particu-
larly when it is observed that this very
thing is what has caused all the USE
less destruction of property and life
that has attended this terrible bust
ness. This it is, too, that has drawn
the nation al government into the fray ;
that will occasion an increase of the
army for the special purpose of keep
ing everybody upon their good beha-
vior.
The mobs at Baltimore, Pittsburg
and Reading, were not made up OF
railroad men. On the contrary,
the latter formed a comparatively
small proportion Of the crowds. The
complaint Of the railway men, howev-
er, was made the pretsxt for excuses
which, under any circumstances, will
Justify no cause, vindicate no right,
nor remedy any wrong.
Had some such evil counsels been
followed we might to day have as
much of destroyed property, bloodshed
and loss of good name to mourn, as
the people of Pittsburg. But the
heroic hostility Of the great majority
of our people toward interference
in other troubles has saved us from
becoming involved. Our distresses
are sufficient for US, and It's
Better to bear the ills we have
Than fly 20 those we know not Of"

A SLANDER.-A correspondent of
the Baltimore Gasette, writing from
Cumberland on the 25th inst, among
other sensational stuff, puts in the fol-
lowing:
Several gentlemen visited the mining
region near here to-day. The men are a
wicked lot but the district is SO far quiet.
The MIMIC JOURNAL, Of Frostburg, their
organ. in It's last issue fully endorsed the
intimidat;on. and -vislence-p policy Of the
strikers.
It seems impossible for the city
press to send a reporter here who has
an ounce Of sense or credib ility in a
weight of enc hundred and fifty
pounds. AS a rule, the average re-
porter, can't comprehend truth, con-
sequently he can't tell it, and, with
regard to an ostracised class, he
wouldn't tell it if he could. It Is by
such men that the character of our
miners is constantly falsifed. The
distant public entertains the horrible
notion, endorsed by publications in
"great papers" that, without excep-
ton, the miners are goddess set Of
cutthroats, who deserve death in or
der to be damned-that las they live
without virtue, they ought to die
without repentance" This notion,
we repeat, is entertained by a credu-
lous public, and returns to us in var
ious damaging shapes, most notably
in legislation affecting the miners,
whether nearly or remotely. They
undeservedly constitute a"social evil,
which papers, directly or indirectly
in the interest Of corporations, teach
the people should be constantly sup
pressed, ground down, and kept under
the heel and sword. Certainly, in
common estimation, thus established,
their liberty and lives are the least Of
all values.
Now, az to the statement that we
have "fully endorsed the intimidation
and-violence-policy of the strikers"
This we deny in toto, and challenge
any man or men to show an endorse.
ment of illegal measures anywhere in
our columns. We warmly sympathize
with the men, who seem to be oppres-
sed by the railroad company through
the sneaking eagerness Of the "outs
to obtain the places Of the Gins" And
in this we have expressed nothing
more than the country at large has.
AS to those who have made the
strike an occasion of plumber and des-
truction of property and life, we have
no language at command adequate to
the proper condemnation of such su-
preme villa;ny.
The JOURNAL is not and never
has been the organ" Of any party
or class, Obtaining its support,
however, mainly from the miners, it
would be oriminally faithless to its pat
rons. did it not put in good words in
timely seasons for them-a class
everywhere misrepresented and his
understood.
In conclusion, we invite the editors
Of our metropolitan papers to come
and see for themselves whether there
be any good in Observation-Disclosures,
for instance, our twelve churches in
the town Of Frostburg, built by labor
ing men, are evidences of perverted
civilization, etc. A fair canvass Of
the field will disabuse them of very
many mistaken notions, and, perhaps,
aid in dispelling the cloud of false
hood which hangs over the reputation
of our people.
