much missionary work among the miners
for that party. He was one of its nominees
for Representative last fall. and came with
in eighty odd votes of downing Snyder, the
Republican, with the thinnest vote. He
will have to DO something to retrieve him
self soon, or the miners will be saying that
he undertook to sell them out in this last
matter, although he acted in accordance
with the resolution of the State convention
in case the Hooking district refused
toCome out. The Hooking miners would
not strike now and thus ShO wed their good
sense. They are getting so cents a ton for
coal ten feet thick, and are just entering
upon their dull scasOn.-Er.
A dispatch from Columbus, speaking of
the mining situation in the Hooking and
Mahuning valleys says there is no denying
the fact that the miners of the State are
justified in asking this increase in wages,
when the price of living to- day is compared
with the same period last year; but the
proper way to view the subject is whether
the trade will stand the increase in price.
The coal trade has certainly not been SO
dull for years as il is at this time, and as Il
consequence prices are cut under, but lit
tie money is made. IL is TO be hoped the
opening up of navigation will start trade
up brisk once more, and that the favorable
spring season, with promise OF abundant
crops may speedily reduce the price OF
living and bring things more equal.
A special to the Telegraph from the scene

more days will test the reliability of such
a rumor The miners having made the
first proposition to the companies todScuss
the question generally. in order to try to
arrive at an amiable settlement without
favorable result, we would suggest that the
companies now make the second and the
means be arbitration. which we are conf
