man. Therefore it is that where an
honest change in administration or
reform in public affairs is demanded,
it is to the country and not the city
We must look for relief. In the tur-
moil and rush of business in the lat
ter the better elements are absorbed,
and public affairs are handed over to
those who make business Of politics;
but in the country, where no bustls
or confusion rsigns-whers public
matters can be quietly and coolly con-
sidered in connection with and inde-
pendent Of private interests, ssch if
not the case. All classes in the lat
ter recognize the fact, more or less,
that, in addition to ths duties dsvolv-
ing upon them towards God and
themselves, are the important duties
which they owe to the country in
which they live and the government
forned fer their protection.
It looks as if the time has passed
whom a nomination in Maryland by
the democratic party was equivalent
to an election. 1t is certain much de-
ponds upon the cand idatea to be plac
ed upon the ticket in the next fight
If the coming gubernatorial nominee
for instance, cannot show that he il
independent Of control by any one o

have divided the patry among them
l would not like to insure his election
II, on the other hand, v nomination il
made of . thoroughly Independent
man, who can command the conf
dencs Of the rank aud file, there is nj
reason in the world why he csnnst b,
elected. The figures shsw that thu
republican victories of the past hav'
not been carried by reason of incrsas
ing strength in the party but rather
on account of decreasing numbers OF
the part Of the democracy coming tt
the front. Whenever the latter de-
come to the front in all their strength
they will sweep the State aa usual.

New YoRX.-Bitumineus coal is
low lR price with a fair demand to
supply present wants. But there is
next to nothing done in the way Of
making contracts for future supplies
The difficulty is substantially the
same as in the anthracite trade. A
doubt as to the continuance of pres
ent rates; but this doubt applies only
to the rates fixed by transporting COM
panies. The prices are down to bed
rock now.-Mining Record.
Business in bituminous coal has
grown worse, if anything, and the
prospects for the future are not bright.
In the Clsar6eld region, coal on cars
is bough: ut very low figures, and it is
only question Of time when the
weaker mines will go to the wall.
Contracts are made here at exception
ally low figures, not alone for steamer
trade, but also railroad business. We
hear that the Pennsylvania railroad
company has informed Clearfeld ship
pers that after Wednesday no special
rates will be made for the steamer
trade. We quote Clearfeld, along.
eide, nominally, $4.l5@$4.4o, and
Cumberland, $4.25@$4.5O, with the
market strongly in buyers favor.
PHILADELPHIA.-Several railroad
companies are still negotiating for
supplies of bituminous coal, but have
not agreed upon prices or deliveries.
There is general impression abroad
among buyers that present prices can
not be maintained, and they hope, by
defsrring negotiations, to obtain lower
prices in q few weeks. Producers
have shaded rates a. much as cost Of
production and freight rates will al
low, and hence negotiations are hang
ing FIRE. Production is falling of,
and the manufacturers demand,
which was expected to develop by this
time, is still in abeyance. There arc
no indications of revival just at this
time both sides are waiting for some
thing to happen. A few large con-
tracts have been entered into at s1.
csptionally low figures, and several
contracts could be placed if buyers
terms were accepted. Leading pro-
dueers are confident that the demand
must exhibit itself. and that present
prices must be paid sooner or later.
There is probability of some col
liers lying off until the demand i'm
proves. The question Of reducing
wages has been quietly discussed; but
no action is probable at this time, as
the producers bslieve that, when the
demand does present itself, such
prices will be realized as will allow
companies to pay present rates for
mining. A good deal of dissatisfsc-
ton prevails with existing dullnsss
and Indifference of consumers, but
good authority predicts it will be of
but short duration.
BosToN.-There has been some ac-
tivity on large contracts. The state.
msnt that the New York & New Eng
land Railroad has closed contract
for 100000 tons is little premature.
The agent of the Chesapeake g. Ohio
Company was again the successful
bidder Of $500 tons bituminous for
East Boston ferries, giving what is
understood to be fair price. Bust
ness outside of these contracts has
been quiet.

Interestino Political Opinions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May ., 1888.
To the MINING JOURNAL:
The latest name mentioned in con.
nsotion with the republican nomina-
tign for Governor il that of Maj
Alex. Shaw, and the suggestion of his
candidacy is not . bad one, for he
would psll an exceptionally large
vote, especially il Western Maryland,
whore he il 10 we'll and favorably
known.
Mr.. Urner seems to have 10 aspir-
ations in that direction, and has es.
poussd the claims of Col. Trail, Of
Frederick, as fitting gubernatorial
nominee. Probably he would prefer
standing his chance to step int the
senatorial shoes of James Black
Groons before the next Legislature,
as the capture of that body would in
svitably accompany the election Of
republican Governor Of the State.
In the ordinary course Of political
events in Maryland, however, the
spectacle Of United States Senator
and Governor coming from the same
town and district would be an unusu-
al one, and if Mr.. Urnsr has any such
idea as suggested, the success Of his
prtegs on the one side would almost
sssursdly defeat his own aspirations
on the other.
Of one thing we may be assured in
regard to republican movements in
the State and that is that the ire
p.sssills Cr.sswell will have a great
deal to say as to what final arrange
ments are TO bs made, and his fne
Italian hand will be recognized when
the finishing touches appear upsn the
slate.
The democrats are not in particu-
larly happy mood, and this is sspeci-
ally true Of thos, of Baltimore city,
where the prevalent feeling will have
the effect Of causing nearly all the
shrswdsr politicians to take back
seats in the wigwsm, at least while
the preliminsriss ara being adjusted
for the coming contest. However,
there is nothing strange about this,
for it only shows the uncertainty felt
a. to who will ultimately secure and
hold the rsins as "boss" and control
the machine in the city. The inds-
psudencs shown at times by rural
politicians is almost unknown among
their city brothers. In the country
and in snail towns many of these en-
bryo statesmen will express and vote
their honest sentiments in public af-
fairs aud fellow the fortunes Of favor
its leaders to victory or defeat, but in
the metropolis the converse is the rule.
A ssrvils, selfish spirit seems to per-
vats the guild; no msnliness nor
principle enough to cultivate an inds-
pendent thought or act seems to exist
among them, but all await to be as
sursd whore the eagles Of victory will
ultimately perch, wheu regardless of
former friendships and alliances, they

The Methodist Episcopal Preach

L. T. Widerman presiding. The
meeting was rather exciting, due to
a spiritual debate whether tbs action
of Rev. G. E. FELTON,, of Mt. Vernon
Church, in adopting a ritual for his
church service, should be made the
subject of discussion. The exclama-
tions of affirmation and disaproval
with motions and amendments, held
full sway for aome time before vote
could be taken, when after several
attempts, the original motor made
by the Rev. w. T. GLENN, that the
subject should be discussed at the
regular weekly meeting next Monday
week prevailed. Much difficulty was
e1rerienced in getting any of the
brethren to debate on the subject,
but Revs. L. M. Pesrce and J. w.
Cornelius were finally selected. In
quiry among the clergymen present
revealed the fact that the association
individually were opposed to the sc-
tion of Mr.. FELTON, on principle, con-
sidsring it a dangerous tendency to-
wards Episcopalisnism. A large
number, however, approciating the
fact that Mr.. Felton's soti0n was still
within the sense Of the book Of disci-
pline, and thai hs end biz church

A WoED FOR THE BEST Coal
Tho proprietors of the new Cumber-
land Glass Works have expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
the facilities they have found here
for running their works and they are
particularly we'll pleased with our
coal, which gives far better results
than they had expected. Coal is of
great Importance in the running OF
glass works, as the successful heating
of the pots, in which the glass is
made, depends largely upon its quail
tiles. As compared with the Ohio
River coal, which they had used at
Bellairs, the proprietors of the Gum.
berland Glass Works say that eur
coal is greatly superior. They find
that it goes considerably further, as
there is 20 much less waste in the
way of cinder. Of the Ohio River
coal not over 80 or 10 per cent. was
actually utilized or turned into heat,
the balance passing away in waste.
Considerably over ninety per cent. of
the Cumberland coal is utilized, and
indeed the waste is almost nothing.
These statements are the results of
careful experiments and observation
by gentlemen thoroughly versed in
such matters. The excellence Of our
coal comes out forcibly when it is
compared with that of another region
and should be a strong factor in gain
ing new industrial enterprises for our
city.-Cumbsrland NewS.
