A NEW ERA ON THE WING.-The

iron lnleTeSlS VI Tie NoItl arc SUI
fering some distress from the inflic-
ton, by anthracite operators and car
riers, of high prices for coal, and
those manufacturers depending upon
that fuel allege as part of their bit
ter complaint that their business is
being driven away to fields where
coke is used. 1t has been found that
dealers can secure cheaper iron from
Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Virginia than from those smelt-
ers who use anthracite, and the tend
ency is to close furnaces and transfer
the business to regions better favor
ed as to cheap fuel.
Formerly the question of wages
was assumed to lie at the foundation
of all high prices for coal. AS fact
single and absolute the JOURNAL
never believed any such thing. 1t
has held as fundamentally better,
economically and politically, to allow
the people good wages than disquiet
them by inadequate returns for Ia
Dor; that the true arena for reform OF
high rates was in railway transporta-
tion, an element of cost which does
not involve exhaustion of bone and
sinew. Moreover, as matter of safe
public policy it was deemed wiser to
distribute the legitimate costs of pro-
duction among the masses rather
than pour the larger share in the cof-
fers of the few. To this conviction
we adhere, and facts coming to light
strengthen and confirm it.
The dissatisfaction among iron OPP
orators concerning the high prices of
anthracite, occasioned by railroad
freight rates, is not confined to their
interest. The producers of bitumin-
ous coal are restive under the bur-
dens which carrier monopolies have
imposed upon their business, and
what is worse, in many cases under
discrimination that have been made
favoring certain producers to the vast
disadvantage of competing custom
ers. These abuses have tended, more
than all other causes, to break down
the trade and with it the vast depend
encies which exist upon its healthy
activity.
Perhaps the most effective contest
that has been waged against railway
monopolies has grown out of the
building of new lines. The cupidity
and ambition of projectors have effect
ed more damage to those great corpo-
rations who have engrossed exclusive
privileges than all movements from
other sources of power. From these
new, unconscious advocates of popu-
lar rights is heard charges of abuse,
to be sustained by oath, which before
were matters of suspicion or at least
speculation. The patrons of colossal
individual fortunes, the enemies of
competition and the purchasers of
legislation are forced to abandon ag-
gressive attitudes and assume the
defensive. Excuses and apologies
are in order, and causes must be
shown why they obstruct the erection
of rival lines, and so on, all of which
goes to show that relief is coming in
way and from a source unexpected.
( So forcible are such contests being
waged that it is not too much to
hope that the day Of high railroad
tariffs ON coal will soon be period
of the past, When that epoch comes
labor will stand its best show for IL
due reward of its exertions.

AT THE MERCY OF THE BEARS
+. NJ. Lockwood Il Co., say: "The
drive at the coal stocks does not ap-
pear to be warranted by the condi
tion of the coal trade, business being
reported brisk with all the compan-
les, and no one of them asking for a
suspension of production. The idea
that the drop in iron shonld hurt an
thracite coal trade is fallacious, as
only 100000 tons per year out of
the enormous production is used in
the manufacture of ore into pig iron.

TO REPAIR DAMAGEs.-Dear lady,
there is probably no use telling you
that fashionable life in great city is
a rough one on your beauty. Late
hours, loss of sleep and mental ex-
citement will leave you by and by
shorn of those beautiful tresses which
drew lovers around You in other
years. Artificial substitutes can
never pass for those rich and glossy
locks. Parker's Hair Balsam will
stop your hair from falling out, res
tore its natural color and softness,
and prove cleansing and beneficial to
the scalp.

gathered. The weather was never
more favorable for their growth.
Celery, also, will be an exceptionally
large crop. The second crop of
clover hay has been unusually good.
The quantity of clover-seed also has
seldom been equaled. The pastures
have been very luxurlant, with but
little frost to iniure the nutrition.
Butter continues to be of excellent
quality, and farmers cannot complain
of the price. The yield of potatoes
is better than usual, and they have
been gathered with more than ordi-
nary success.

HON. THos. f. BAYARD.

This gentleman, for many years
q favorite in our community, has
secured a great impulse to his
popularity here, by his recent visit
amongst us. His nnassuming
manners, his frank and manly de-
pertinent, his playful and intelli-
gent conversation, his familiarity
with horses, cattle, and all sub
jects upon which farmers delight
to talk, completely captivated all
who came in contact with him.
His address, which occupied up.
wards of an hour in delivery, was
of the highest order. Itwould be
idle to attempt any synopsis OF it
beyond that already given. 1t is
sufficient to say that it was full OF
valuable information, replete with
elevated and statesmanlike reflex
ions, and enlivened by happy il
Illustrations, and genuine good hui
NOR. He would greatly add to
the obligations we already owe
him, if Senator Bayard would pre-
sent to us in manuscript, for pub
LEGATION and general circulation,
his eloquent and instructive adj
dress.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

The smoke Of the Ohio battle
has cleared away, and left the
Democrats complete masters of
the field. However much q Re
publican may indulge in the pleas
ing phantasy Of hope, the truth is
that little or nothing will be saved
out Of the wreck. The entire
Democratic State ticket is chosen,
the legislature will be Democratic
by a majority of from 81 to 25 on
joint ballot, the prohibition amend
ment is lost and control of the
Supreme Court, the Board of
Public Works and the State char
liable institutions fall into Demo
cratic hands for the first time
since 1855 There are many
causes assigned for the defeat of
the Republicans. Some attribute
it to the detection in the wool
growing districts, which was a
prominent factor in the defeat,
and say this detection was caused
by the failure of certain Ohio Re
publicans to stand firm upon the
tariff question in the last Con
gress. Another, and perhaps the

THE TRI-OOUNTY FAIR.

What is it that has given to the
annual fair at Hagerstown it's
great success? 1t is the great
principle of associated labor and
capital it is THAT power, that
with a proper fulcrum, can move
the world It is because the two
counties of Maryland-Washing-
ton and Carroll-and the Penn
sylvania county of Franklin, have
all united their energies and en-
terprise to give success to the in
stitution. It is in fact tri-
county organization.
What a lesson does not this
teach to our friends of Berkeley,
Jefferson and Morgan. This small
Eastern Panhandle is too CON
tracted in its area, too isolated in
its location to support o fair IN
each of the three counties. Why
not then combine with the spirit
which animates our neighbors in
Maryland and Pennsylvania (? Ii
counties in two separate States
can thus associate, why cannot
Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan
both bone of one bone and flesh
of one hesh-combine in the laud-
able purpose of having one good
fair at Martinsburg, a place which
is more accessible to those two
counties than many portions of
their own territory

THE OLD MANSI0N-H1STORI-
GAL.

The Charlestown Free Press in its
late issue has a paragraph not with
out interest to all lovers of history.
Referring to Sen. Bayard as a guest
of Hon. Chas. j. Faulkner it says
1--WE should like to see complete
list of the distinguished men of this
and other lands who have been guests
at Boydville during the last half
century. We hardly think any 9th
er private residence in our State has
been honored by so many persons
conspicuous in the world of letters,
science, art and politics"
The Free Press is right. We doubt
if there has been distinguished
statesman, orator, clergyman, man
of letters or eminent mechanic, who
for the last half century has visited
this section OF the country, who has
not, more or less, enjoyed the hos
pitality of that mansion. 1t is not
in our power to crafty the Free
Press by giving a complete list of the
persons referred to, but we can
from our own memory, and the aid
of others, recall some of the names of
the distinguished dead who have
been its inmates and visitors. We
can name Chief Justice Marshall,
Felix Grundy, b. Watkins Leigh,

real cause of Republican defeat,
was the temperance issue, which

This is a purely moral question,
and any political party that at
tempts to make il an issue in b
political fight is almost sure to get
left. The Republicans of Ohio
championed the prohibition
amendment, and stood solidly by
it, yet the Prohibitionists threw
their votes for Governor in the

without good grounds, that the
Prohibitionists traded with the

sment. In short, sold the Repub-
licans out. Whether this is true
to any great extent, or not, the
fact remains that the Republicans
were heavily handicapped in the
race by their support of the pro
hibition amendment, and that the
Prohibitionists did not play fair
in throwing their votes away on a
hopeless ticket. Their course has
helped to whip the Republican
party in Ohio, and has given their
own cause an irreparable back set.

several cases from different States,

people in hotels, railroad cars, the

gress had no constitutional an.
