On the part Of some managers Of
coal affairs in this region, it is alleged
that the work Of the few years past
has been dissi pated among non-resi-
dent miners, SO that even at 90 cents
our citizen miners have realized No
more than a living. Now, with no
guarantee Of more work fox Tie mass,
if the latter are to be crowded out in
the same way at 90 cents, the result
is eur home people will make % per
cent. less than a hiring Isn't THIS too
much to ask of them Do they
owe that much OF sacrifice to the coal
companies or to the community? No
one will have the hardihood TO assert
it, yet that is the direct aud iIuned-
late effect Of combinations which force
lower wages and discriminate against
our own workmen. The absolute duty
of all coal companies enjoins them to
employ our resident miners, whether
prices are lessened Or not, The other
policy, like the "flching of good
names, takes that which not en-
riches the Companies, but makes the
workmen poor indeed" With poy-
erty often comes deprecated self-re-
spect and loss of independence, and
by SO much the community loses in

The following very sensible remarks

suggestion Of inferiority. Why a col
Iege situated on Otter Creek or Lake
Chsmplain should be less deserving Of
regard than one which catches the
mingled smell Of salt.marsh and city
sewerage along the coast, il hardly
perceptible except by the sub-graduate
mind. Bot the under. grad uate intellect
is sensitive to such things, aud often
persuades the parental Judgment also
that IL is better to send the young stu
dent away from the institutions Of his
native state, to some great university
at distance. And, indeed, it not sell

Of Yale or Harvard for incompetency
or misconduct, quite prides himself on

institutions above the sober and indus
