The Causes of 1t.

The New York San says the sus.
pension occurred during a falling
market.
Some private parties affirm that it
was because the workingmen were not
united, and by SO much untrue tc
themselves.
And some have alleged tina: the
high tariff upon nearly every imported
article except pauper labor caused it.
And others have put 1t upon the
laws of Pennsylvania (under which
workingmen have no show being cap
led insldiously in the statute-books Of
Maryland. Witness the coal and iron
police and landlord and tenant acts
both of which have been employed to
force wages down-the latter most
efectually.
There are those who estimate capt.
tai force invincible. Entrenched in
the surrendered liberties of the people,
it may never be dislodged.
It is believed by some that the men
have not been extremely fortunate in
their choice of leaders.
1t has been said, too, that the min
ers have proceeded upon an exagger-
ated estimate of the Importance CT
this coal field.
Many suspect that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company was at the
bottom Of the companies manifesto.
Many assert that our miners under
took too much. A battle for a btu
minous wage standard cannot bs made
successfully in single field.
The competitions of other regions,
backed by favorable transportation
rates, are also quoted as operating de-
cisively against the workmen.
1t is stated, too, that in many cases
the greatest antagonist of the miner,
beside the pending evictions. was his
want of means to bear him through
the winter.
And 80 on.

rowing story from the Pan Handle
The sufFerlngs caused by this strike Will
never be known outside the humble homes
of those who were the victims of this
struggle. At least one innocent life was
sacrificed. Mrs Frederick Waugh, wife
of striker, living near Mansfield, driven
to despair by the walls of starving child
rem, on Friday evening ended her sorrows
with poison. Less griefs could be referred
to by the score but it is pleasanter to turn
from this dark picture and venture the
hope that the trade of this region will
never again be cursed by so ill-adyised a
strike.
"Women have died for low" in
New York, too-but nobody ever
prays that as curse the object may
be turned aside. However, the
writer above is not so much concern
ed about the "grieis" as about the
'Nade." Yes, (after re-reading his

effort which the performance of need

two objects of his sympathy the
trade" is his pet.
Our Homecoming correspondents
have taken the trouble to look up the
legislative career of the recent amend
ment of the landlord and tenant act.
They have also traced the connection
of our representatives Herewith and
sent to us for publication the result
of their investigation. The object is
plain. Certain Of these gentlemen, if
not all, have disclaimed on several
occasions, it is said, all knowledge of
the passage OF bill affecting the
rights of landlords and tenants. The
disclosures made have convicted them
as guilty at least of miserably bad
memories. At any rate, it is the
right of their constituents, or any
portion of them. TO make the facts
known.
Any innovation upon the legal
relation between landlord and
tenant, always delicate, even ordi-
narily ought to evoke the critical at
tention of the custodians Of the law
for the time being. And when
change is proposed which provides
summary process, modified only to
assure trifipg delays, the representa-
tives of large tenaptry district
should have distinctly and thoroughly
examined the motives and objects of
those at whose behest it was intro
duced, as well as the text of the
amendment itself. In the case before
US this was not done, or, if done, was
forgotten !"
In justice 10 the gentlemen con-
csrned we do not join with many in
the belief that they aotllingly permit
ted the amendment to pass without
protest, or that they pa:rpoSey voted
solid to make it law. Some lapsus
is responsible for action SO fatal, even
to future political life.
The effect is the game, however. A
huge engine Of terrorism was thus
placed in the hands Of the landlords
to enforce a decree which had no ref
erence to tenancy By this means
was the "brsak" started which reduces
wages and subdues the people to I'M
known conditions OF servitude. The
old law was cumbrous and could rot
have been employed with so much
facility. 1t provided fer jury trial
in the tenants bailiwick, and 80 on.
The amendment allows the landlord
to select jury of one in the person
of a magistrate in any district of the
county, and lodges all the inconven-
fences Of attendance and appeal upon
the tenant. In fact, the latter must
repose for security alone upon the
"quips and quirks" of astute counsel.
In general, the design of such laws
is to secure payment Of rentals in
this case it is shrewdly suspected the
object was TO enforce a reduction of
wages. As a bill this was not seen by
our representatives; or, if seen, it
was forgotten" and, as before stated,
tho effect is observed in the collapse
of br ave, protIacted effort to retain
living wages.
