I'D. r. B" of the Cumberland
Times, is in error if he supposes him
self entitled to patent upon his pro-
phecy of the ultimate triumph of the
companies. Such predictions have been
plentiful as blackberries for long
time, and no one can set himself up
before the gaze of an admiring popu-
lace as seer of exclusive genius.
Turning away from his gratuitous
rsFroaches of the defeated miners and
bis fulsome adulation of the victori-
GUS leaders, we assume to advise him
that his groanings over the unhappy
attendants and results Of the contest
are equally uncalled for. He should
know that there are no unmiged evils.
History is a record of human folly
and human failure-cause and result
being measured by the criterion of
success. In the present case. had the
miners succ eeded, I'D. R. B." with
out reference to the merits or demer-
its of their cause, would have APP
plaudoi them, or held his peace. All,
but they failed and as though history
ceased with their downfall, we are

TRADE NOTES. - Mining in The
Cumberland region with a reduced
force is now becoming general, though
it is not to be expected that the
quantities will be heavy at any timt
during the remainder Of the year
Cumberland coal is again in the New
York market, and is selling in limi
tied way at $4,65 alongside. The
market has not strengthened in any
way on the contrary, there are eigni
among the Clearfeld men that the
pressure to sell on the part of the
smaller shippers still continues. We
hear of low prices for occasional small
lots, rumor putting the figures of som,
such transactions as low as 1925
For round lots, however, that figure
could not be approached, $4,40@
$3.50 being the price which largcI
shippers insist on. We mention tht
fact, merely because such transactions
might be regarded as furnishing {
true basis of actual qotations. Such
we repeat, is not the case.
The resumption of mining in The
Cumberland region has just put The
Boston agents of this coal into tht
market again. They seem DESTROYS 0
getting in VIII at work they can in ilt
remaining months Of the year, ans
are disposed to nearly, if not quite
meet the Clearfeld people. Orders
for September delivery have beer
taken by several parties, however, q
about $3.50 f. o. b. at Georgetown
and $3.50 at Baltimore. Clearfelt
coal is selling at $8.25@$3.35, +, o. b
at Philadelphia. As With the An
thracite, the consumers of bituminou
coal in this vicinity are well supplied
Some few have dragged along from
hand to mouth all through tie strike
waiting for Cumberland coal, and sucl
will probably order lefore ireights y
up on them. Nearly all contracts 0
size have been awarded, however
The Boston & Lowell railroad alon
hung off, and has received bids thi
week for $4,000 tons.
There is nothing new in the Phila
delphia bituminous market. Dealer
continue to express hopes Of bette
trade and prices with the approach c
September. The strikes everywhor
are ended, and no further trouble a

UNTIL the working classes are true
to themselves, each and all, the utility
Of strikes will he mooted question
If one division Of laboreIs demands an
advance, and declines to work uuless
their terms are acceded to, and anoth-
er division can be engaged by an en-
ployer for lower rate, he bargains
accordingly, and thinks it is all fair
to scale down prices in the labor
market and buy as cheapiy as be can.
The strikers can only offer passive
resistance when the capitalist enlista
as his allies police and military to
protect the new gangs who have SUI
perseded the former ones. If they
had fair show, and were not betray-
ed by members Of the same craft,
capitalists would cease to be MASTERS
of the situation, except when they
worked in harmony with operatives.
The mining troubles in Homecoming
are drawing to close in consequence
CT a division Of the Georges Crsek
company miners having agreed to
work on lie own terms. That contract
is the entering wedge to break up'the
strike which may now be regarded as
virtually ended. The strikers acted
throughout pelsisteAtly and nanfully,
and should they now sucounh as de-
feated, they have won credit for their
moderation ard good order, and gained
the sympathy Of all truo friends of
the lsboring classes. II the employ
ers claim they lave woa all the honor
OF the contest they might truthfully
confess that another such victorywould
be their ruin. --Baltimore -Hcral9.
THROUGH THE WILDs.--Sonator
German expects soon to take prog
pecting tour with Senator'S Davis,
Blaine, BayaId and others, in the
wilds Of West Virginia, on the line Of
the West Virginia Central and Pitts
burg railroad, through the Elk Garden
coal region. The road is being built
to Fairfax Stone, aud already has a
coal mine opened !or each of the
twelve milea il operation This is
the railroad which has made traffic
contract with the canal. The tourists
expect to 20 into the wilderness which
this road will some day penetrate,
through the Canaan country, on its
way to a junction with the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad on the other end.
These senators take much more than
a passing interest IN the development
of this great region which, it is saia,
has raore coal on deposit than is to be
found in the whole Georges Greek re-
gion, as it ID now known. Their Jour
ney will no doubt be profitable.
