A Comparison.

Mr.. Editor While the reduction
of % per cent. conceded by the min
ers was q subject Of congratulation,
on the part of (some at least, Of our
people is not the fact of the great
reduction made by the B. & o. R. R.
company fit subject for greater con-
graduation on the part Of the people
in our region ? When we come to con-
slider that when the miners received
80 and As cents for mining, the rail
road company received 4l.75 per ton
of 2,24O pounds transportation from
Cumberland to Locust Point. This was
prior to the war, or war prices. Now
the railroad will carry our coal from
Cumberland to Locust Point for $l,9l
per ton Of 2,240 pounds, which Is
within six cents per ton Of the rates
Of former days, and 76 cents Per ton
less than was charged in 1875. This
ought really to be subject of great
congratulation on the part Of our PEG,
pie.
And while we still commend the
miners for their manly bearing ano
liberal concession, yet it must be borne
in mind that they are now receiving
Is and 90 cents per ton more thar
they received during the period re
fered to.
The boatmen who received $l.25
per ton before the war, are now do
ing tho Same work for $l0O per ton.

General Items.

"TERMINAL FACILITIES. We have
been making inquiries in regard to
the terminal facilities at the other
end of the canal, and the benefits to
accrue to shippers from the outlet
lock. From what we could learn, it
is believed that the outlet lock will
benefit the companies to the extent OF
7 to 10 cents per ton, in the saving Of
Wharfage, etc. We have been inform
ed that it costs about 20 cents per ton,
at the canal wharf, while most of this
can be saved by going out into the
river and unloading directly into the
sea-going vessels, and thus avoiding
breakage. Of course there are times
when there are not sufficient vessels
to take all the coal; consequently,
about half the boats will have to I'M
load in the canal. These latter boats
will be benefited by dispatch in un-
loading, not having to wait so long for

A Tribute to MIR. Garrett.

M.. Editor Will you please in

Chicago Roil,cay Joavnal-and fit

the president of the first railroad

not but be read with interest by every
Marylander and with more than ordi-
nary interest b.! yo~r seoders since his
and his company's influence, in the
future, will be felt in the development
of this coal region, and that too We
hope and believe an ats behalf:
Mr.. Garrett has occasionally favored the
public with his views Oh questions on
which lie considers they have right to
know where he stands. This by no means
implies egetism or glorifcation, as more
reticent rivals have limited He controls
vast nterests-interests closely allied with
the public welfare, not only of Baltimore
but the entire country. lie is a man of
great ability, vast experience and cores
pondlng success. His opinion is ~orth
something, and the time is past for reti-
cence and taciturnity to be considered signs
of greatness That fallacy has been e1-
ploded in politics and sn outspoken opin-
ion and policy war justly demanded Of the
man who l~s just taken the presidential
chair Of our country. With equal pleas
ure should the business world hail SINH
lar expression from one of its most power
full leaders The policy Of secretivepess

ment 1t has hung like an incubus over
business interests, and has well nigh ruined
corporate credit at home and abroad. The
deplorable lack of confidence in corporate
is only another expression Of
the saving love darkness because your
deeds are evil" With men in public posi-
tons this may apply TO matters Of opinion
as we'll AZ of fact,

Dear Jourmal:-As your columns
are rarely graced with communications
from this ancient city, l desire to give
you several interesting points con-
nected with the long history of our
growth.
This city is more than century old.
During that period we profess to have
built the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
Rolling Mills and Queen City Hotel,
and Holly Water Works. But the
neatest and biggest thing done was
stealing the name of our world-re-
nowned Georges Creek coal, and it is
now known over land and sea as the
Cumberland COAL" The only real
enterprise however the city can boast
is the Academy of Music, which, it
must be acknowledged, is gem. And
yet, when the Mayor and Council con-
templ-ted the splendor of the struc-
ture and the magnitude of the respon-
sibility Of conducting and getting

TIE CORPORATE ELECTION takes
place next Monday. At this writing
We are not advised of more tickets
than the one announced Tuesday even
ing by the republican convention.
To this there need be no personal or
general objection, but every voter
who has opinions of his own should
commit himself only to such men as
will carry out rigidly the policy hith-
srto forsshadowed in these columns.
We want the sort of retrenchment
which provides, first, for liquidating
our indebtedness, and second, for pre-
serving during next year the improve
msnts gained. Together with the in
cidsntal expenses, these needs are i'm
psrstive, and every candidate should
be pledged to almost utter abnegation
Of merely sectional demands for outlay.

The Presideat and the south.

President Hayes continues to grow
in favor with the Southern people.
We have seen the numerous assur
ances given from that quarter, that,
il he will visit il, his reception shall
be as cordial and sincere as the gen,
crosby Of the people can make it.
Hon. Alex. II. Stephens goes so far
as to say that he makes a better
President for the South than Mr. Til
den could possibly have done.
Mr.. Hayes would have gone to
Virginia before this, on invitation,
had not his departure been interrupt
ed by the mob proceedings through
out the country. 1t is probable
now that his intended Southern tour
will be delayed till after the adjourn
ment of the next Congress. In the
meantime invitations continue to
pourin upon him. Nashville, through
its Board of Alderman, has just said,
she "desires to manifest some recog-
milton of the exalted patriotism which
has characterized the administration
Of President Hayes, and particularly
his wise and conservative policy to-
ward the people of the South, by
which the tranquility and harmony
of the Southern States have been
permanently restored" All of
which must be most hattering to the
President.

The German Governments Removing IA Hard
chip from II. subjects In America.

According, to the Conscription laws OF
Germany every youth upon attaining his twen-
tlcth birthday is required to enter the army and
serve thrce years. This does not apply alone to
those residing in the mother country. but also
to those OF German birth who have not been
expatratsd but whose business or inclination
has called them abroad.
For some time past many young Germans
who had not become denationali2ed. and there-
fore were liable 10 cons'rption. have upon at
tanning the required age crossed the ocean and
presented themselves before their respective
district " befehlshaber" for enlistment in the
Ian iwehr." but in many instances only 70 find
themselves rejected on account OF physical dis
ability. Thus thcy had the expenses OF n use-
less and costly tlip thrown upon them in their
desire 10 obey tho laws OF the fatherland. To
obvate this. tho German. Government some
time since instructed their representative in
this country to appoint a medical examiner TO
pass upon the physical condition OF those who
should present themselves for military duty.
To this position DR.. Tellkoppf has been ap-
pointed.
