moved from his place of business an
unsightly wooden shed and some dead
trees. The improvement 10 appear

neighbors is one that ilas been long
desired and is fully appreciated. Bnt
there are others of the kind not

interests, convenience and health Of
the community require it and their
existence should not be tolerated long

and Councilmen.
These sheds are mostly, if not III.
together in front of business places,
and although there is law against
the sale of unwholesome goods and
provisions, without currents OF fresh an
and the purifying rays OF the sun,
goods and provisions must become
dirty, dusty, musty and filthy to such
an extent as to make them at least
deleterious to the consumer.
Besides the posts, mostly set within
the curb-stene, are distractions, and
under the sheds lazy loungers and cor
ner-loafers take refuge from the cleans

So down with them all, and down

Eastern TicacS Off the Coat TRADE.

New T0rh,.-The bituminous trade
is IN an unsettled condition. Pool
prices are not paid, and the pool az
angements, as we anticipated, are
not observed. The operators are
pushing negotiations with the utmost
vigor, and anticipate a very heavy de-
mand, but the smaller operators who
are not favored with special rates
give very gloomy accounts of the
present and prospective condition of
the trade.-Mining Record.
The contract for 10000 tons to be
be delivered at Portland, was taken
by the Consolidation coal company,
at $3.50 per ton. 1t is stated that
"ClearfeM coal acas rendered at 16
cents per- ton bel0W this price,"
PAilndezphia.-The soft coal trade
is, as usual, devoid of interest. Some
sales have been made below pool rates
of certain Goals that have reputa-
ton to make, and even an acquan-
lance to create.
1t is said the Vanderbilt Beech
Creek mines are producing from
1900 to 1000 tons of coal day. This
coal is outside of the pool.
! The Elk Garden company has
contracted for the coaling of the next
voyage of the City Of Rome at, it Is
said, $40 ton.
When Clearfell coal first came
upon the market Cumberland opera
tors, who had controlled the bitumin-
GUS trade for years, did all they could
to decry it. This coal had come to
secure a market and to stay. The re-
suit was, that the price Of Cleartield
was put unnecessarily low. 1t secured
a large amount of trade, and threat
ened to rule the market. Cumberland
lost its de,and had to drop its prices
to meet the competition. This piece
pinot very ancient history may be of
interest to the companies that are now
decrying some of the new Goals in
this market.
The New York Central contracts
will probably be awarded early next
week.
Proposals for 800 tons Ciear!ield
coal are asked for by the Camden
Water Department, Philadelphia.
B0SfoA.--In the bitumlnous branch
quite a number of small contracts are
taken, but we hear Of no large con-
tracts. There seems to be no risk in
buying now, as coal is extremely low
and there are 10 expectations Of any
decline. Matters concerning the
pool are unchanged. We hear of no
open charges that lis s0gulatCns are
violated. i is ii fact caHsii3. come

MUCH controversy has been raised
among democrats over the retention
by the President of Henry G. Pearson,
the republican postmaster of New
York city. 1t appears Mr.. Pearson
is a "mugwump," a nondescript def
milton of an arlstocratic faction which
broke loose from party shackles last
fall and elected Mr.. Cleveland.
In the light of this fact it would
also appear that the President owed
that body of voters some substantial
recognition. twas these who added
the contingent which placed him in
position to befriend his own party.
Hence, the democrat who finds
fault with him here quarrels with the
occasion OF his own success, and if he
be already an office-holder, grum5les
at the moving cause of his own good
fortune.

A CORRESPONDENT wants the peo-
pie to elect Mayor and Council who
will make kind of Arcadia of Frost
burg.
He forgets, perhaps, that one swal-
low does not make summer, or if it
does that one summers work will
not suffice.
1t Is true that our lovely town lies
in the heart of a Poloponnesus, but
the habits of our habitants are not
of the style which places a luxurious
valuation upon the arabesqus. Z We
are grotesquely natural and native IN
nearly all our tastes. An order for a
pavement raises an Instruction, and
an appeal for more water subjects the
appellant to epithets more heinous
than those Shakespeare alleged against
the gentleman who "hath no music
in his soul" The councilman who
dares to raise his puny arm against
presenting the COWS with the "freedom
of the city, is at once the puissant
oppressor of the poor and the upstart
foe of the rich.
Much, therefore, that is desirable
in the way Of reform is locked up
within our primitive conservatism !;
much more is checked by the popu-
lar fear of expense. Hence, people
who do their duty are not wanted
as municipal administration, and,
this conclusion reached, it does not
seem that the selection of a mayor
and councilmen to do routine work
is a matter of powerful concern.
Nevertheless, the JOURNAL will
rejoice over the accession of gentlemen
endowed with sufficient nerve and
backbone to do even that duty
efficiently.

Political economists estimate that If
all men worked, three or four hours
labor each day would supply the wants of
the world. But not all labor, therefore
those who do must extend their hours of
toll TO make good the time spent by
others in idleness. In this country far
more than half OF the people are workers,
and it ought to be admitted that eight
hours daily production would be suf-
tlcient in providing for the demands of
all consumers II we looked only TO sup
plying our own wants, nobody need labor
more than eight hours; but our demand
for gain Is not satisfied with this, and
our manufacturers aspire to sell TO for
eign nations Until this aspiration ceases,
the eight-hour movement will not become
geAeral.
manufacturer whose employees work
only eight hours cannot compete with an
other whose employees work ten hours,
II the same daily wages are paid. For If
it requires 100 hours of labor to produce
any manufactured article, ten men work
ing ten hours a day will complete 1t In
one day, and at a rate of $3.50 per day
the article will have cost S25, But in
an establishment where the men
work eight hours, it viii require the
labor of twelve and third men to produce
the same article in one day, and their
labor will have cost the manufacturing
employer S80.s8l. The former can sell
his products at less price than II cost
the latter to make his, and yet have fair
profit This fact Is so evident that II can.
