The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-05-19

The Democrats of Hartford county held Il
convention at Bel Air on Tuesday. The con-
vention decided to continue the Crawford
county system of making nominations. 1t
was said by speakers that the defects OF the
system were due to candidates, who exhibited
TOO much zeal in obtaining nominations, and
in elimination and recrimination. This was
advised against, and Mr.. Henry D. Farnan-
dis said the party ought not to nominate any
man who sought position. This sentiment
was loudly applauded. The resolutions of
the convention were short and to the point,
the last one recommending 1.-THE burial of
past differences and the selection of candi-
dates who will inspire confidence, unite the
party, and command the allegiance Of all who
believe in Democratic principles"

Again The american warns its readers OF
the importance, nay the absolute need, OF
non-partisan movement i'll municipal affairs.
Baltimore american.
Just so. The 1mcricdn would think that
politics is Just the thing for municipal affairs
if the Republican party had control OF the
CITY and could hold it. But, as that party IS
in hopeless minority in Baltimore the Amer
ican pretends to believe that the city govern
ment ought to be non-partisan. The mean
ing of this is, that the Republican party de-
sires to gain foothod in Baltimore on the
plea of non partisanship just as they preached
non-partisanship in the election OF the judi
ciary, and succeeded in putting upon the
bench several Republican judges, who are
now showing the people what non -partisanshp
means by drawing partisan juries and filling
MI places within their gift with Republicans.
The Democrats Of Baltimore should beware
Of Republican non -partisanship and hold the
city government. They have more good ma
tcrial TO draw upon for city officials than the
Republicans have.

On Friday last the President removed Mr..
Dirty, collector of internal revenue for the
third district of Maryland, on account of
physical inability to perform the duties of
the office" and appointed Mr.. John H. Sell
man. of Anne Arundel county, in his stead.
This closes a bitter fight that has been raging
for some time for this office.-FredeIrick Er
dmiHcr.
Oh, no, the fight is not closed; it is just
about TO begin. Mr. Dirty will be out of Of
fee in about two weeks, and he will open a
lively campaign in the Republican party.
Hon. Hart B. Holton and others who worked
to have him removed will find that his 'phy-
steal inability has not impaired his mental
powers.

Anthracite Goal,

Anthracite coal was discovered in
Pennsylvania soon after the settlement
of the Wyoming valley, but its first
practical use, says n correspondent OF
the Pittsburg Commercial, was by ODE
diah Crosse in his blackSmith's shop in
the wear 1868. In 1891 Philip Ginter
discovered anthracite coal on the Lehigh.
In 1902 Robert Morris, of Philadelphia,
formed company and purchased six
thousand acres Of the property on which
Ginter discovered the coal. The coal
company was called the Lchigh Coal
mine. This company opened the mine
and found the vein to be fifty feet thick
and OF the very b'~t quality OF coal.
The company made every effort to Sc
cure n demand for the coal, but without
success. and, having become thoroughly
Disguised with their speculation, leased
the six thousand acres of this mammoth
Coal-ticld to Mcssrs. White & Hazard, of
Philadelphia, for twenty years. ut an
annual rental of one ear Of corn. Messrs.
White q Hazard tried 10 use the coal in
the blast-furnaces in 1855. but failed;
the furnace chilled. In 1882 Nelson
conceived the idea Of the hot blast for
saving fuel. and in 1888 David Thomas
adoptcd the idea of the hot blast and an
thracitc together White IL Hazard had,
previous to this, formed company and
bought tho property. In 1889 David
Thomas made the use Of anthracite for
making pig-metal success, by which
the twenty ears Of corn were transferred
into $20,000,000. And this is the early
history of the great Lehigh coal mines
of the present day. ! remember well
the banquet given by Burd PATTERSON
and Nicholas Biddlc at Mount Carbon
in 1910, at which time they paid VIM.
Lyman, proprietor OF the Pioneer fur
mace. $1,000, the premium they had Of
fered for the first successful use OF an
thracitc coal ~ fuel in the blast fur
mace. But David Thomas was the lion
of the dav.

The Great Reporters,

Mr.. Osgood the Boston publisher.
gave me this story recently: lie siid
when Mr. Dickens wanted to come TO
read in America few years before his
death, he was very sensitive about the
reception he would have after his lam
pooniug the country in 1872. So he sent
his agent, DR.. Dolby, ahead, who called
on Fields q Osgood and asked them to
take the agent to the newspaper Offices
In Boston and New York. Among 9th
ar places he was carried To the Office or
James c. Bennett, the founder OF the
Herald. The old man listened to the
questions DIR. Dolby put. When he was
asked if Dickens comments on America
long ago would injure his reception
Bennett said mo the American people
are great enough to overlook the errors
or impudrnce Of young man who
meant to sell his wares about us in Eng
land" After Dolby got through. how
ever. old Bennett remarked: wv no IS
this Dickens. anywayp He is nothing
but reporter. have got four or i've
men in my Office who are better report
ers than Dickens" The old man was
perfectly serious about IL, 100.
After Mr.. Fields told the story 4
gentleman present said: "Do yon re-
member that at the Dickens dinner Geo.
". Curtis, who mnde the best speech
there, described Dickens "a u reporter
all the way through, and said that the
reporters faculty in MI great literary
men was the foundation OF their power!
Even in Hawthorne. who became n re-
porter in garrets and back yards, among
the bugs and cobwcbs and rays of light,
instead of out among the crowd"
We'll" said Mr.. Osgood, Il could
not help feeling that the strong points
of Dickens were, rs reporter, closely
observing the dialect and behavior OF
men. To me the 'pickwick Papers re-
main the most delightful things Dickens
ever did and they are reporting through
out. "--Gdh.
