achieved. With coal from Baltimore
as low if not lower than 1886, and
from Philadelphia at $2.5O@2.6O f..
o. b., and at Boston for less than
$500, it surely looks as if this was to
be another season of cut-throat bust
ness-making an effort for tonnage
at the expense of the prices realized.
With combination of the two roads
named, there is still the Clearfeld
coal over the Reading that will come
into play this year, to say nothing OF
from the Kanawha. There is an ac-
tivity in this trade that must keep
anthracite coals-for steam uses-at
less prices than has been ruling
unless the western trade can absorb
. couple of million tons more this
year than it did last. Should it be
possible to make combination on
the "Cumberland" and "Cleartield''
Goals for the +ide-water market, it is
to be hoped that action will not be
delayed so long as to give some part
les the opportunity to 60 in, and
make contracts at low rates previous
to the forming Of the combination.
1t is we'll known that these contracts
are very elastic and may be said to
make the price of any future sales

Will you kindly grant US space
enough to enquire what has become of
the Frostburg Roller Skating Club ?
They agreed to suspend through the
summer months to resume in October,
and to hold regular monthly meetings.
Have any of these things been done I?
Is SO, where, when and by whom If
the present board of managers think
the thing wont work, let them call a
meeting of the Club, not verbally by
telling any they may chance to meet,
but through your paper, or in such
manner that it may meet the stock
holders eyes, and let them decide what
is best to do.

The sooner the labor movement is
entirely disassociated from greenback-
ism and all other crank movements
the better the chances for unity of
effort and final success amonst those
associated with it will be. The first
great duty of the friends of labor is
to secure perfect organization of the
workingmen in defense of their own
rights and interest, with view to
obtaining the largest possible share
of the products of their work. This
once complete and perfect, they will
be in a condition to meet capital on
equal terms and make fair bargain.
After that they can profitably con-
slider the undue influence of wealth
on legislation and administration and
various other matters; but until this
first great object is achieved nothing
else should be considered which has
tendency to divide them.-Balti-

FINS CORONAT OPUS.

For most men life picks its way
through chances- through unexpect-
ed ills, active and passive misfortunes.
We pass safely by casualties, epidem-
les, danger signals, to stumble finally
over some unseen, unsupported prec-
ipice.
We discriminate between what are
called Sudden deaths" and "deaths
in due course of nature" In point
of fact, all death is sudden. Howev-
er slowly the wheels Of that time
piece within our bosoms be moving
they still move. Although dying, We
still live. Eventually comes at once
the jerk and jar, as Of train Of cars
forced from high speed to quick
stop. Hence it is just as hard to get
out of the idea of life while we live
as out of car while it runs. Death
is surprise to all, for we die sud-
denly.
In the case of our friend and broth
er, H. H. Robinson, while life lasted
he survived. When it was said, che
is dead" in spite of premonitory fears
the message fell like fresh calamity.
The public mind, however fully pre-
pared for the sad announcement, was
shocked when the end came. The
career of one who, though young, had
we'll nigh reached a maturity of
power, came suddenly to halt. A
stricken family bewails a loved one
lost in moment; relatives suddenly
abandon hope, erewhile SO proudly
cherished, and fellow-citizens pause
to lament concurrently the abrupt
close Of a race just begun.
If any one had ever doubted the
high esteem in which he was held at
home, they would have doubted no
longer had they been present that
last sad day when his remains were
lowered into the grave. Old and
young, rich and poor, mingled tears
of regret with those who had most
right to weep.
He honored the fraternities to
which he belonged by loyalty to all,
particularly that through which he
had chosen to rear fame and fortune.
He had no foes in any circle.
He deserved most credit for the
sturdy self-development which he
wrought. Without the favor which
wealth bestows upon its legatees, OF
the grace which education lends, he
smassed fund of information and
tastes beyond the reach of thousands
of twice his years. More-he was q
prophet having honor in his own
country, a distinction conferred upon
few. Good sense, earnestness of pur.
pose and the activities of a manly
untiring nature, were his tutors and
commanders.
As a son, brother and husband, he
merits all the grief which moistenf
the fresh earth upon his grave. As
citizen and self-made mar, he
earned the tribute which the people
at last pay to human excellence.
We are unable to crown his memo
ry with another garland. 1t is diff.
cult to do full justice to the charac.
ter of good man. Society can best
honor the dead who leave a real vac
uum in Its structure. The commu-
nifty which most feels the loss of light
from some immortal lamp, can most
truly say it was worthy to be with
drawn from its mission on earth to
be trimmed anew by angel hands to
shine forever in the mansions on high.
