INSPIRED by definition in SCOTS

short article upon the duties of troops
IN suppressing riots. In the rapid
progress of events, however, other mat
ters have displaced its Importance.

MANY people think that, with our
troubles settled, there is a chance for
d period Of prosperous work yet this
year. 1t is held that Clearfeld COM
petition cannot henceforth encroach so
strongly upon our trade, because the
Pennsylvania railroad is not as able as
the Baltimore and Ohio road to carry
;heaply, and so on. We don't see the
point exactly, nevertheless hope it Ii
we'll taken.

A MtvEMENT toward restoring the
old rate eos cents) for mining. is said
to be on foot among the miners. This
is based on the complaints that they
are not getting as much work at so
cents as at IS, and that tho existing
system of weights actually reduces
the wages to a little more than Is
cents. In this connection . sugges-
ton reaches US which seems to be
worth consideration, viz: that if there
is to be re-adjustment Of wages. let
the companies and men fix it upon
the basis Of so much per cubic yard.
This plan it is said, will more
readily determine the quantity mined
and do away with all opportunities for
dissatisfaction as to weights.

WITH $l6,000,00o of property in
Allegany county, the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company refuses to pay
d cent Of taxes. But when this prop
erty is imperilled by action growing
out of its oppressive conduct, it is the
first to fly to the civil and military
authorities for protection. The poor
man, who rarely, if ever, needs such
protection, pays the taxes, because the
law which is vigorous enough to make
MIN pay is somehow weak enough tc
permit the company to go free.

WHILE we are talking of giving the
unemployed work, why not afford
them chance to build the proposed
narrow guage road? Nothing else
would be 30 opportune, SO lastingly
beneficial, or SO necessary.

MUCH injury has been inflicted upon
this region by the reports Of news
paper correspondents who have repre-
sented our people as in state Of in
Aammation bordering on combustion.
Such is not and has not been the case.
At the same time popular sympathy
has undoubtedly been expressed in
various emphatic ways for the rail.
way men. Taking all the expressions
Of the railroad company into account,
therefore, it is not wonderful this COM
munity should applaud the bold stand
of the aggrieved parties, but it is sur
prising that this should be distorted
into communism or rebellion. The
affairs of no corporation are so woven
into the warp and wool of our insti-
tutions as to make resistance to its
expressions as war upon civilization.

FISH, CULTURE IN NORTH CARoL1NA.-The
Charlotte IN. c. Observer, has the follow
ing remarks on the subject of fish-culture
in that State. Governor Vance Is warm
advocate Of the system: .-........
The changed condition Of labor in North
Carolina consequent upon the freedom OF
the slave makes the question Of fish-culture
one OF the most important which can oc-
cupy the mind OF the people OF the State at
this time, and we are glad to learn that it is
al last assuming the Importance which its
necessity demands.
Governor Vance, in his message to the
Legislature, took strong grounds for the
adoption of system by which the people,
through that body, might inaugurate plan
to utilize the numerous streams and bodies
of water throughout the State, and thus
make them produce food for the people.
Any movement which can have for its OBJ
iect the stocking Of the waters OF North
Carolina, which are indigenous to our eli.
mate, will be certain to result beneticially to
the people Of the whole State.
