MINING IMPROVEMENTS.

FRosTBURG, May 4, 1881.
To the Editor OF the JOURNALS:
In late visit to the Borden Shaft
| found the ventilating furnace had
been considerably improved since the
time Of my former visit. With your
permission I will describe the furnace
and the improvements to the readers
of the JOURNAL.
In the first place there is large
arch built to protect the coal from ig-
hitting the furnace proper is built
inside Of this arch, space Of eighteen
inches being left all around between
the furnace and the arch. The inside
manager, Mr.. Mcmillan, contended
that the space between the furnace
and the outer arch was too large and
admitted too much unrarifed air to
pass, which had tendency TO check
the velocity Of the rareded air pass
ing over the fire. To remedy this
the space has been closed up to a
width of four inches the crate bars
have also been lowered twelve
inches, thus increasing the area of the
furnace. There has also been four
feet added to its length. These i'm
provements have greatly increased
the current Of air. A lus has also
been built at the back of the furnace
inside of the upcast shaft, distance
of six feet, but | cannot see the adj
vantage CT this as the rarefed air ex-
pards. | fail to see the propriety of
contracting the upcast shaft; however,
doctors will disagree and we will talk
over the matter with friend Mcmillan
at some future time.
There is no denying the fact that
this mine is as well ventilated as any
in the coal field, and it is model col
liery in every respect. If all our
mines were in the same condition
there would be less cause fer growl-
ing. There is no black damp where
the miners are drawing the pillars.
and I was astonished TO see the large
percentage OF coil taken out of them.
This company is also grading a
tramroad to new opening on the
old Borden property.

rule of primogcniture; the destruction of
entails, the equal division of intestate es-
tates without regard to SEX the proven
ton of perpetuities; the subsection OF land
to the payment of debts, were all intended
TO secure, as far as laws could, free oppor
tunities for the decentralization Of wealth
and 10 prevent its consolidation in the
hands of few; yet it grows every day
more obvious that by an almost universal
system of corporation all this has been de-
feated and set at naught. Corporations
never die, nor are their estates ever distri-
buted, but in singie and ne 1er-dying
grasp they can hold the aggregated prop
erty of hundreds ofthousands of men and
WELD their influences under single, unre-
lenting, unsympathizing, selfish intent
an intent upon which the milder and more
beneficent impulses of human nature al e
permitted to have but little effect 1t is in
my judgment a great mission to uphold
the laws that create and protect property
and encourage its accumulation, and to
prevent this power through the forms of
legislation from gaining undue influence
over the liberties of the individual citizen,
by keeping before Americans the great
idea, the constantly elevating thought that
the MAN is always to be considered above
the productions of his labor, and that gov
verrment should consist in checks upon
power and protection for weakness. 1t is
the true mission to see that all classes and
all grades of men are duly protected in
their legal rights, and that under no pre-
text should individual rights be invaded
by legislation.
Let any man in this county look at
current example of the antmuS and
force of one of these great corpora
tions in our midst if he desires to
measure correctly the evil which SEN
stor Bayard so eloquently portrays.

OUR CORRESPo NDENCE
QUERIES?

To the Editor of the JOURNAL:
Grant me permission to occupy a
small space in your excellent paper to
ak few questions with the expecta-
ton that some one will be kind
enough to answer them
/. Does our new executive officer
know anything about the common
law governing an ordinary organiza-
ton.
2. Why is it that gag law should
be allowed in our Council chamber?
3. Can only enc side of vote be
put?
4. Is not one Councilman's oath as
good as another?
5. Can the Mayor make a motion,
second it himself and then put it be-
fore the body, calling for the afirma-
tive side only?
6. Is not the whole thing bur-
legque and farYe2
7. Who is our bailiff-George Fl.
Eisfeller or Jacob Baker?
s. Should not one bailiff be dis
missed before another is sworn in ?
9. Is it economical 10 start off with
two special meetings and two bailifs !?
Let our city fathers adopt the fol-
lowing as their motto: "Lay on
Macduff, and damned be he who first
cries, hold, enough !" TAX.Us.

GENERAL ITEMS.

Mr.. VENNoR the Canadian prophet,
makes the following predictions for
May:
"Toward the end of the first week
in May, or about the 9Th and 9th,
snow-falls may be looked for in the
lower Provinces, and about May 8
frcsts are probable in Central and
Southern Illinois, with rain and snow
prevailing in some localities. There
will also, in all probability, be snow
falls through the gulf and the st Law
renee district about the 7th and 9Th.
After the 10th day, however, hot
weather may be expected, and after
the 18th bush fires will probable
break out in certain districts, although
thunder storms are also probably
on the 18th and 18th. Between
thu goth and 25th there will probably
be cloudy weather with rains, and
vegetation will have advanced con-
siderably by Oath Ct the month. Be-
tween the Goth and 25th the weather
probably will be cool. The arrival
of shad flies in Montreal will be re-
ported about tho 9th or 28th. The
month will end hot and sultry.

Our governor is pessimist. He
insists that everything is going to the
bad, and if it keeps on few weeks
the State will not lie worth cont
nental," etc.
So it was i'll England two centuries
ago; indeed, very much worse. Under
tho long domination of the Wing ele.
ment even the church was fearfully
corrupted. The prime minister's
highest function was to bride legisla-
tive members upon the plea that Par
lament could not be gotten to do its
duty by any other process.
In our own early politics, accord
ing TO such immortal authorities as
Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamil-
ton and John Marshall, the case was
hardly better. Think Of one of these
gentlemen calling the illustrious
Constinental Congress - that body
which sent out the one and only gen.
uine Declaration of Independence
"a den of thieves |" Think of one of
them also, in the heat Of partisan
rancor calling another "the toal OF an

from whom we love to date our polit.

The evils of which our esteemed
governor complains are far less ug'y
than many which afflicted the gala
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1881-05-07

The JOURNAL regarded the first
movement in the recent cooperation
election with fear. The gravity OF
the situation was discounted in the
outset. What should have been a
digni6ed proceeding was abandoned
by our responsible people to a bur-
lesque upon law and travesty upon
local government.
A result is seen in the proceedings
of the new Council last Monday and
Tuesday evenings. How much farther
the existing state of affairs will be
permitted to reach remains to he
seen, but if the solid men Of the town
stand back and see the corporation
going helplessly to wreck and ruin,
they are the heaviest losers by the
disaster. 1t is perhaps too early fer
them to realize it, but years exper-
iment without the safeguards of mu-
nicipal government would be lesson
learned, perhaps too late. Those
gentlemen who speak so fippantly OF
busting up the corporation unless
certain points are carried know not
whereof they affirm. A bad govern
ment is always and everywhere better
than no government. We might even
proftably submit to the freaks and
antics of the present administration
for the sake of law and order, and it
should enhance our determination to
reform at the proper time rather than
destroy the instrument of town con-
troll.
Whatever, therefore, is to be dep
recated and regretted in the existing
state Of affairs is to be distinctly and
emphatically charged to those who
thought the primary unworthy their
attention who laughed at the issue
of the election and passed the magia-
terial morsels Of grotesque lingo around
for the delectation of gramm teal
gigglers. Applied to the collection
and disbursement of taxes curios-
tiles of diction are far from laughable,
