Our democratic bench distinguished
itself last week by appointing a re-

We have had Clara Norris at the
Academy of Music during the past

Cumberland, probably because the
tickets were too high. One dollar and
fly cents is too much to give for Il re-

that the public objected to such high
prices. Maggie Mitchell can draw
good houses here, but the tickets are
always reasonable when she comes.
must not forget to mention an ar
bitrary order issued by the Baltimore
and OHIO railroad company against
hotel porters and news agents. The
porters are not allowed to solicit Gus
tom for the hotels nor are the news
boys allowed to sell papers along the
Queen City hotel pavement. Con-
sidering the fact that the property
upon which the BaltimoIe and Ohio
railroad company built their hotel and
rolling mills was given them by the
city of Cumberland, it is somewhat
strange they should attempt to de-
rrive the poor newsboy Of his wages
and seek to monopolize the hotel bus
mess. l understand suits will be
brought against the company by the
newsagents, as the pavement has been
a public highway for fifteen years, and
is necessary. The company asked the
city to light the pavement from Balti-
more to Harrison street, and the city
will have right to use it as a high
way. No effort is made to keep the
pavement clear of those evil specimens
of humanity who ply their nefarious
trade at all hours of the night, but
poor newsboys are not allowed to sell
their papers. CADMUs.

Eastern Tie,Cs Ofthe Coal TRADE.

Neay Yorh;.-The main feature for
the bltumnous market as usual
low productions and sales at scant
if any profit. At Boston, prices have
been $40 to $3.G0.-Mining Record.
Business in soft coal is quiet at all
the centres of trade, and the price
does not come up. We are informed
that one or two contracts have been
made in the local market for next
seasons deliveries, in fact one is spoken
of to cover a period of two years.
The shippers of coal from Baltimore
have held another meeting to take
action on the differential rate they
have been placed under, by the new
schedule Of coastwise freights. We
presume they would be satisfied with
the same rate as from Hampton
Roads.-Coal Trade Journal.
We do not learn of an actual change
in prices, although we think that the
better grades Of coal, which have
been held at higher prices, are a lit
tie more easily sold. Those having
contracts for the delivery of coal
have shown considerable anxiety to
have shipments made before Decem-
Der LIST, to avoid the new bill of lading.
The Cumberland coal companies are
to make decided stand against the
vessel owners Oh this matter, They
have also made ten hours, the year
through, a days labor, whereas in

by any other bituminous coal in this

spontaneously. The business Of these
claims has been pretty we'll cstah-

Why Is Our Town in Darkness?
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Allow me a small space in your
valuable paper to answer the above
coundrum for the benefit of your many
readers.
First. in the beginning of the world
onr Lord said There shall be light
for all. Well and unselfsh did He
act. He did not overlook our
christians, living on our back and dark
streets, who have been feeling their
way through the darkness for the last
fifteen years, when He said there shall
be light for all. Why should this lit
tie corporation deprive them Of the
benefit that was promised to them in
the beginning of the world They
have paid their proportion of taxes
towards purchasing this gas that they
have never got; they also pay their
proportion for the bailiff and night
Waterman, which they never received
any benefit from.
So, dear citizens, please explain why
you tax citizens on the back streets if
you don't propose to give them any
benefit for their taxes? l, for one,
will say that this board will act i'm
PARTIAL will treat all its citizens
alike.
With many respects, from a citizen
and taxpayer on Main street, but do
not want to deprive my fellowman Of
the pleasure | enjoy. ~

THE main difficulty in labor troub-
les arises from the indisposltion of
employers to admit that workingmen
are competent to determine whether
they are not fairly compensated Tor
their labor. If employers generally
wonld meet employees, men to men,
and discuss their differences from a
rational standpoint, strikes would be
fewer and there would be much
more satisfactory situation in the in
dustrial world.

WE understand somebody is quot
ing Scripture to the effect that there
must be eight for ALL" We have
searched the Scriptures, for in them
we think we have eternal life," but
nowhere do we find an edict so in

it is true, but only for half the world
at time. In the case of the Green
landers there is spell of darkness
lasting six months, yet they have not
complained of the favor shown the
inhabitants Of tropical countries, who
enjoy light every day the year round.
The City Council of Upernavik never
on that account, so far as we are Of
ficially advised, declined to shut off
sunshine from the rest of the world.
Be it known, too, that the citizens of
Greenland, Notwithstanding their

they that their Book of Genesis

WE have not seen the contract be-
tween the Council and gas company,
but our impression is, that although
the company is not furnishing the
gas they Will get pay for it all the
same.
If this premise be correct, is not
the town liable also for any damage
to person Or property sustained any
evening before II o'clock?
The gas company has furnished,
and is ready to furnish light accord
ing to the stipulations for this year.
Then the onus of responsibility
falls inevitably upon the town for
not awaiting itself of the benefits of
one of its own provisions for the
safety of the people.

TIE Yicksburg Fair Association
| we notice, is already advertised in the
Greenville Associations posters for a
meeting here, beginning early in No
vember. This courtesy Of our Green
Vile friends will not be forgotten by
our Association, and we hope to be in
shape to entertain our Valley friends
with some excellent drill contests
racing, and so forth, soon after the
Greenville meeting.
On this subject we have a few
urgent words TO say to the citi-
gems of Vicksburg. 1t is no
longer question Of what the
Fair Association will do, but it is
be hoped that the citizens will appre-
ciate the value of the Fair Associa-
tion and its grounds, and aid literally
and promptly right now. Not mo-
ment is to be lost, for it is determined
to have a grand meeting in November
that will bring thousands of visitors
4 to our city, and thus add greatly to its
trade Of all kinds. The fair grounds,
race track, drill grounds, tournament
course, and a place in fact
for all outdoor sports, are as
necessary to the city as the theater or
any other means of attracting visitors.
Vicksburg has already suffered i'm
mensely in this respect. At last
beautiful grounds are secured, energetic
men are pushing the enterprise and the
cooperation of the citizens is urged.
1t is proposed to offer $4,000 in
prizes to military companies, $2,500 or
$4,000 in purses to horses, and equally
liberal sums to gun clubs and tourna-
ments. That will give Vicksburg a
week Of outdoor sport such as she
never enjoyed before, and such as
will bring to her gates for five or six
days many thousands of people from
all the surrounding country. 1t Is be-
yond our power to estimate the value
to all kinds Of business. Simply as an
advertisement Of the city, the one
meeting will be worth much more than
the whole cost of the grounds, track
and buildings, but it is intended to
make them a permanent attraction.
1t is believed that the stock will pay
as an investment, and all good citizens
should take some Of it, and aid the
movement intended to give the city
outdoor attraction, every way in their
power.

a farmer hired man to help work
the farm. One summer day when la
Dor was very scarce, the two were
moving in the field, several larks few
up.
"Look at those cranes" said the
hired man.
"Those are not cranes; they are only
larks," replied the farmer somewhat
surprised.
"If you don't say that they are
cranes, I'll knock off work right now"
said the hired man.
AS the farmer could get nobody at
that time to take the hired mans
place, he was obliged to yield to the
whim of the menial.
"YeS," said the farmer, Il see now
that they are cranes, but they are not
big cranes. They are only half-grown
cranes"
The hired man was satisfied with
this concession. Some months after
wards, the hired man still being in the
employment of the farmer, the latter
said at dinner one day, as he poured
out glass of water:
"Here is some very fine beer"
"That's not beer: that's only water"
replied the hired man.
"If you don't say it is beer you can
tender your resignation, for l don't
want any offensive partisans about the
place."
The hired man knew very we'll that
he couldn't get another situation at
that time of the year, so he tasted the
water, and cheerfully indorsed the ad-
ministration, saying:
"Of course it's beer, but it hasn't
got much body to it.
Having thus convinced the Presi-
dent that he was sound on the goose
question the hired man was allowed to
retain his position.
