Hast thou left US, darling Anna2-
Left this world of grief and sin ?
Gone to join bright souls in glory,
Who, on earth, were of your kim
All, yes, thou'It gone theanswer cruel
Der the BINDS that bear it comes
Gone to join that angel trio,*
Mourncd, like you, by kindred ones
Pure as your young life truly was;
Fondly as we loved you here,
We'd not for all these earthly joys,
Take from you your glory There.
We fain, It's true, would have you stay
Your parents hearts to case
To share the load of future years,
And all their wants to please.
But while these thoughts of earthly care
The human mind doth fill,
The foremost aim of life should be-
To serve Jehovah's will.
o, angel bright in highest Heaven,
Earliest fruit ofpurest love,
Pray that all enc day may meet you
In the realm of Christ above!

OPPOSITION TO MONOPOLY.
SPEECH OF JUDGE BLACK,

The National Autobiography
League held very large meeting in
the Cooper Institute, New York,
Monday night, in response to g call
to those who believe chat corpora
tions should not be permitted to run
this country" Mr.. L. E. Chitten-
den presided. In his opening ad-
dress he said this wos a fitting time
to recall Washington's appropriate
words, in which he called attention
to the Fatal tendencies of those com
binations organized to direct, control,
and counterfeit, and awe the constitu-
ted authorities" lie said that the
Autobiography was not organized to
make warfare upon corporations, but
was the friend of corporations. 1t
was organized against the tyranny,
abuses, and Irregularities of corpora
lions. The object of the League was
to cheaper the necessaries Of life, Sc
that the poor man could live and
bring up his family decently. What
was the reason that coal was sold at
Wholesale for double the price for
which it could be sold here at fair
profit? 1t was because of the exac-
tons Of the monopoliss for transporta-
ton. The same was true of every other
great staple, of corn and other food.
Telegraphic charges were also at least
double fair rate, owing to monopoly
How could the people remedy the
evil? BY legislation. To do this the
Supreme Court must be kept pure.
No corporation attorney must be a
Judge of that court. The Legisla-
ture must be kept pure, SO that when
it becomes necessary to pass an act
for the protection Of 100000 Of
people the proposition shall net be
sent to the committee on miscellane-
GUS business. Great applause. The
League did not propose to found a
political PARTY unless it was necessary
to protect the people.

WHY IS THIS THUS?
FRnsrBuRG. Feb. 25. 1881.

FRosTBuRG, Feb. 25, 1881.
Mr. Editor Our attention has
been called by the Cumberland Times
to the selling price of come of our
coal securities, as compared with their
assessed values.
An examination of this question
has developed the fact that while the
Consolidation coal company is assessed
at $3624 per acre for their coal, the
Maryland coal company is assessed at
$3.50 Fer acre for their coal why is
this great difference in the assessed
valuation7 Is it for the reason that
the Maryland company's coal is SO
much superior to the Consolidation ?
If SO all right. Perhaps our worthy
Commissioners can explain.

the case before that body, asking
that the law governing the Baltimore

TIE Maryland coal company's property
Ia taxed at 5000, COO, and its shares are sell
ling at $sO-making the actual value OF
the property $l,5OO,Ooo. That is fully as
much as it Is worth, though each share
represents $l0O.-Cumberland Times.
1t is hardly fair to select any single
company as a mark for such shafts as
the above. The Maryland coal COM
pany is no more nor less than type
in the connection named of any or
all other companies in this county
The Times paragraph is, however, a
strong argument for further rsvi-
sion of corporate assessments until
average values are reached.

WHEN MIR. E. L. Brown gave his
reasons for abandoning operations at
Bowsry furnace, it appeared he could
get coke on board al Connellsville
cheaper than his coal to the mouth of
the mine. And it has turned out
that the Connellsville people are
working too low by their own confess
sion at least they have given notice
for an advance of mining and coking
wages. Too late for US, however.
Low wages at Conceivable forced the

Of our people lost employment; our

but in Connellsville. Suppose black
leg systems prevail, with all the
namelsss, numberless disgraces they
imply, elsewhere and here alike,
where ST ands our domestic commerce
then? It does seem that our business
people generally ought to easily see
how grandly it is to their interest to
aid the maintenance of the wages Of
those whose Partially they enjoy and
upon whose ability they thrive. The
great question to (us) outsiders, hold

IT has been a good while since the
companies received the last request
for semi-monthly payments of wages.
Adding the interim between the two
notes, it has been "real long time
to 20 without recognition. The COM
panies appear to reside in some sort
Of an eternal world" or "undiscov-
cred bourne" whence no message or
traveller returns. But, as has been
indicated, all this is merely apparent
They know the miners are still down
here by brilliant fash of silence,
a loug-drawn-out coup d etat, or
lingering flourish of heavy strategy,
they hope to keep the miners on "pray-
ing grounds and pleading terms"
Or, perhaps, the proceeding is an owl
ish one affecting much wisdom
10, my Antonio, Go know of those
That, therefore, only are reputed wise
For saying nothing"
At any rate the conclusion is nearly
reached that the miners should not
blame the companies for not "answsr-
ing letters" Suppose lot of black
legs or milksops should ask anony-
mously for a reduction of wages or
for payments once year, saying
"bsloved, you pay us too much; please
take some of )" or, "you pay US too
often please make it one instead of
twelve times yssr"-who would not
applaud the indignant, scornful 81
lence of the companies then 2 We
venture to say that many men who
feel sighted now would laugh all
over to see blacklegs snubbed in any
summary way. Do not blame them
severely the safest course is the beat
for people who. desire, above all
things except corpulsnt dividends, to
be consistent, and for those who dis
trust the merit of any apologies they
might feel bound to advance.
