corr R ESPON DE N C E
"NenO" INSISTS upon His Motion

CUMBERLAND, May 81, 1883.
To the MINING JOURNAL:
What dengnsted in a former let
ter Is the policy to be pursued by the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal company
in dealing with the coal trade is more
htly and properly termed in the col
umns Of the JOURNAL a. its duty. l
am thankful for the word, "the sub
limest word in the Enslish language"
Yes, it is the bOunden duty Of the
managers of the canal in honest and
intelligent fulfllment of the great
trust repoSed in them to SO manage
that all the coal which is capable Of
being transported over their route
shall be secured TO them every season
for that purpose. No competition can
exist, in ordinary circumstances, be-
tween rail and water way, for the
carriage Of such an article as coal,
except through the folly or mal.ad-
ministration and collusisn of the
managers of the latter. Tho mana
cement of the Chesapeake and OHIO
canal Of late years, whether designed
ly or not, has had the effect Of forcing
shippers of coal to use the railroad in
preference, and if the Baltimore and
Ohio company had entire control it
could not have managed matters bet
ter in the interests of the railroad
route. We know that the interests Of
the railroad are antagonistic to those
of the canal in the matter Of coal
transportation. We know, or ought
to know, that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company holds the balance
Of power in the politics of the State
of Maryland-in the republican as
well as in the democratic party. We
also that this inperious company well
use this power in its own interests for
all it is worth. Therefore it is, when
We see such condition Of affairs as
has existed for some time in the coal
trade Of the county, and on the canal,
We are naturally jealous of the rapid
ly growing power of this railroad
company, and suspicious Of those to
whom the interests Of the public have
been confded and who have been in
vested with sufficient means to enable
them to hold this powerful corpora
ton in check.
I may be entirely wrong in this im-
portant matter, but if not the ques.
tion Of tolls upon the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal has in it the solution OF
the difficulties environing the coal
trade of Western Maryland. And, if
] am not wrong in my conclusions, the
managers of the canal have in this
matter Of tolls alone the power in
their hands either 10 allow matters to
20 en- from bad to worse. or, changing
their present policy, to lift the incu-
bus that now porslyzes the coal trade
and all other business depending
thereon. and thus enable the old-time
prosperity of this region to regain its
happy and benefcent sway. MEMO.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
City TietOs of the Coal Trade.

New YoRK.-Bituminous Goals are
not active, and the filling of orders
taken early in the season at low
rates engages the attention of the
miner and opsratorin all the regions,
Transient trade is light, and some
operators gather courage from this
fact, as they expect naturally to
place the average tonnage, and when
the season grows shorter they can
command a better price than has
been recorded for the larger sales.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR IRON WORKERS.
The state of affairs between the
iron manufacturers and workmen at
Pittsburg at last account is without a
marked change and the prospects
were that the iron mills in that re-
gion and the West would shut yester :
day, to continue closed for an indef-
mite period.

The Harpe,''s Ferry Gaze.

Rau's cave, at Harper's Ferry, it
being rapidly transformed into 6
place of resort. 1t is located in Pros.
pect Hill, about a mile this side Of
Harper's Ferry. To reach it, al
present, one must 90 to Harper
Ferry and take the road over Bolivar
Heights, making short and interest
ing drive. 1t is supposed the hill is
honeycombsd with caves, connecting
with each other, and in this series
new discoveries are being made every
day. Raus cave consists Of three
principal caverns, occupying space
over mile in length. Work is new
being done on corridors to connect
them, and of such height as to render
passage from one to another easy and
pleasant. The distance is ITO feet
the caves lying alongside of each
other.
The caves are crystal caves, similar
to that at Luray, and the effect when
brilliantly lighted, is grand and strik
ing. AS usual, there are bridal
chambers, Gothic cathedrals, echo
caves, art galleries, crystal palaces
and so-forth, besides numerous pillars
columns, and domes without number
The stalagmites and stalactites assume
all sorts Of grotesquo and beautiful
forms, and from Mr.. Beuter's account
the cave must be a thing of beauty
and joy forever.
As soon as the cave is ready for
visitors, which will be about the las,
Of July, the Baltimore and Ohio
authorities will erect depot at the
spot and make it frst.class station
Before the war there was station al
point. but it has long since been dis
continued. This section of country il
remarkably beautiful and the cave
will be an added attraction. Nature
has been very lavish of her charms
about Harper's Ferry.

A UNIQUE PoEH ON SPRING.
Gath" writing to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, says Of a popular favorile
among the fnny tribe: "Shad are

yet with satisfying potency. One
shad is the measure of the represent
alive family. The fathers partislity
is shown where he gives most of the
roe. From birth to bones the shad'
epic is like a silver spirit-noissless,
translucent, unrsGisting, like the pas
sage of this moon through the rivers
of the sea. Migratory, but with
childhood memories of locality, fruit
ful religiously, and even in the dream
of ysung children and large gentle
families, they seem like the spring
lambs of the water, grazing the infn-
lite fields of sheen. What danger,
they pass through, going and return
ing, the innocents in the time Of Her
cd never had Provided with moth.
ing to make battle, with tiny teeth
and miniature fins, they course the
ocean like the silver galleons of old
days, beet by pirates but protected by
the saints. Although the royal guests
at feasts and poor mems tables, they
are, like all enduring nobility, peas
ent. born. The mar!yred molhsden
is their cousin; the herring is their
stepbrother. To SEQ them caught il
like seeing angels fsll-so peacsfu iy,

is my only poem on spring this y ear. "

The next quadrennial session of the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church will be held in Phil
adelphia in May Of next year. Some
of our great daily exchanges are dis
cussing with great deal of gravity
and much ignorance some of the ques'
tions which are likely to engrcss the
attention of that body. The extension
of the pastoral term or the entire alb
rogation of the itinerant system, some
of the papers think, will be the chief
question for discussion. This is an old
story. But it always drops out Of
sight when the Conference meets.
And we venture the prediction that
the discussion OF thistopic will amount
to nothing at all. Nine-tenths of the
Methodists of this country are thor
ohgh believers in the efficacy of their
itinerant system. and the few who op-
pose it will have absolutely no stand
ing in the law.making assembly oi
the church.
