HOTOHPOTCH AT ECKHART

"Our miners" are on strike, what
for, dunno. Possibly the "Cumber-
land coal" organ can tell.
You, Mr.. Editor, don't know who
to blame for the severe weather, but
divide the cause between Vennor,
municipal election and the JOURNAL S
attacks on the B. 6 0. We had a
better opinion of YOUR judgment don't
you know it's the fault of the insane
asylum? =
Well, Eckhart is to have buainess
boom at least, we are so informed.
Mr.. j. M. Porter, it is said, will put
up seven dwellings on the property
purchased a short time ago. Mr.. D.
W. Bussard intends building fine
store house on his very desirable vii
lage property. And if Madame Ru-
NOR be correct in gossip Mr.. Thomas
w. Nef has sold several lots on which
dwellings will be erected next summer
If it ever comes Mr.. H. L. Porter
has commenced his foundation for a
dwelling, but is just now delayed by
the uufavorable weather.
Mr.. E., you should visit our town :;
especially ahould you see it Under

never see them; they are kept clope,

AFTER all, who are the pompous
agents of our corporations? Judge
Pearre says, by implication, they are
employees. Then, why should they
put on airs about an onymnus letters
from executive committee, "or Other"
employees ?
ANoTnERoi Judge Pearre . remark
able opinions has been filed. 1t is
claimed that the "agent, cashier, or
attorney, are not officers of corpo-
ration within the meaning Of a certain
law, but presidents, directors, or man
ayers, are. Then, what are they ?
Employees? Hardly, because the Law
says-"president, director, manager,
or other officer" etc. "Or other
means something or it means nothing
which? Something, of course, as
every phrase in law should. Well,
then, the term, "or," is merely con-
traction of "other," each and both
meaning primarily about the came
thing-an alternative of equivalents.
The Judges definition, or rather nc
definition, renders everv corporation
in tho county inaccessible to legal
process, unless president, director,
or manager" is caught in the county
looking unawares after other busin less.
Then, after tapping him on the calf o.
the leg to arrest attention, the sheriff
should have along an extensible atep-
ladder with focal attachment to reach
the realm where the dignity of the
average corporation official floats.
THE Coal Trade Journal sees fit to
criticize US a bit:
The FRosTBURG JOURNAL figures up the
cost of Georges Creek coal delivered at
New York, gia Georgetown, at 1926 per
ion, by running over the new railroad from
the mines to Gun berland. Unfortunately
the figures that go to make up this cost are
very much below what the most sangulne
friend of the new scheme desires to see and
such statements only bring it into ridicule.
Now, until we are sure of our con-
temporsrys authority to speak for
"the most sanguine friend Of the new
scheme" we must beg leave to say
that "such statements do not "bring
it into ridcule."
Our estimate of costs amount to
1920 per ton, free on board at George.
town, based upon unassailable figures.
If we fell below the mark in average
coastwise freight, it could not be very
far. But as the economy to be gained
from proposed important improve
ments upon canal navigation was left
out Of the account, it is quite safe to
assume that the latter will Offset
whatever excess of coastwise carriage
there may be over our estimate.
Be that as it may, we are sure no
producer of coal proposing to ship by
the newroad and canal expects his coal
to cost over 1920 at Georgetown.
Meantime, "the most sanguine friends
expect it to cost only 5000
If there's anybody around thirsting
for regular brass-mounted "ridicule,"
we can supply all demands in an anal
ysis Of the two-dollar estimate, but
shall never exert ours; Ives about the
matter, unless the popular welfare
demands it.

IT IS very evident that the Cumber-
land coal operators need the reduction
in local transportation charges and in
canal tolls, that the opening Of the
Georges Creek and Cumberland read
and its connection with the canal will
give. 1t is hoped that the B. & 0.
road will be compelled at an early
date to comply with the plain obi.
cation which it has assumed and not
endeavor to repudiate the same, in
order to deprive the canal of the early
benefit of this new feeder Coal Trade

ANOTHER IMPORTANT DUTY NEG
LEcTED.-It has been sometime since
Michael Boyton, native of New
York and an American citizen, was
arrested by the British authorities in
ireland for utterances at public meet
ings in that country rejecting upon
the government. If we err not he
was arrested upon frivolous charges,
denied the right of hateas corpus and
is still illegally detained. The matter
was brought to Secretary Blaine's at,
tention few days after his induction
into tho State departn ent, but he has
not seen fit to interfere, although il
is attracting considerable attention en-
both sides of the water. Boyton S
friends claim, moreover, that when
the facts are known the United States
government will be justified in re-
quiring his release.
Protection Of its citizens is the first
and paramount object of government;
everything else is secondary. Hence,
to be "friend indeed" it should Le
"friend in need" with the utmost
promptitude. Slow processes, tedious
movements and procrastina.e "seri-
GUS considerations" do not acquire
the force and effect which belong to
the exercise of majesty, and they do
not confer those reliefs and benefits
at the moment designed by the organ
ic law. The tendency of delay, Of
reluctance it may be, to take cogni-
zance of these cases, is diminution
Of popular veneration for the efficien-
cy, power and disposition of the gov.
eminent to do what it claims.
The matter is not helped when by
contrast the first moment is seized tC
condole officially with the family OIL
an assassinated monarch whose gov.
eminent exists, not to protect, but tc
Cypress its citizens.
Let us protect our own citizens
quickly and cheerfully, and if we
have any time left to write dispatches
we may do SO after studying very Sc.
riously and deliberately whether they
should condole or congratulate, and
who deserve them most-the princes
or the people?
Since the above was put in type
it appears 1.-THE State department has

Philadelphia, Dec. LIN the report
made to-day to the city council by John
Hunter. receiver of taxes, it is stated,
although the examination of the books
Of his department of the city govern
ment is not much more than com.
menced, and although the examination
has been retarded by the acting collec.
tor of delinquent taxes, VIM. J. Dono.
hugh, that so much has been developed
as to show that the city of Philadelphia
has been largely defrauded. He then
lays before the council some of the re-
suits Of the examination, with the re-
mark that he cannot at this time tell
the amount due the city. In order TO
accomplish the fraudulent entries there
must have been a collusion between the
tax receivers and comptrollers depart
ments, and system adopted by which
the treasury was annually robbed OF
thousands of dollars. False allowances
appear all through, from the entry OF
the payment Of taxes to the taking of
of the balance sheet.
The comptroller at the time referred
to in the report was Sam'l r. Hancock;
tax receiver, Thos. j. Smith.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual re-
port Of the secretary Of the navy was
made public to-day. Secretary Hunt at
the outset calls the attention Of con-
gress to the neglected condition of the
navy, and says that unless some action
be had in its behalf it must soon
dwindle to insignincance. he devotes
considerable space to the contradiction
Of the reports Of the bureau officers Of
the navy, and generally endorses the
recommendation submitted by his SUBJ
ordinates. Referring to the report Of the
naval advisory board, Secretary Hunt
recommends the views Of the majority
Of the board as entitled to appropria-
tion Of congress. There is, he says, q
slight difference by few members of
the board as to justify the report being
considered the unanimous Judgement
Of the board. Secretary Hunt estimates
