luminous Goals keeps up with no
want of supply of all descriptions

Mining Record.
We hear of more doing in soft coal
and this is caused by the anxiety to
get off old orders, and also in some
degree to the placing Of orders by
those dilatory persons who always
hold off in the expectancy Of reaping
a reward from their presumed astute-
ness. 1t is none too early to think of
next seasons arrangements, and we
call attention to the point that bet
ter price can be had by concert of
action, and suggest that all the ship
pers to coastwlse ports and places
hold convention to take the matter
into consideration.-Coal Trade

There is better supply Of cars on
both the Baltimore u OHIO and
Pennsylvania roads, and probably a
shade better business. Prices are
said to be little firmer, but we can
not see that any actual improvement
has taken place. There is, however,
a feeling that the lowest prices have
been seen. One Of the best author
tiles in the trade says that he expects
an improvement next year over this,
but thinks that the trade cannot as
sumo good shape until 1887.
Fseights are having a wonderful
boom. They have advanced rs cents

CHINESE cigar-makers have gone
on strike in San Francisco to have
white men in the same business dis
charged. 1t is suspected they stole
leaf from a page of the manual of
the Knights Of Labor, whence they
CLEAN the right to dictate to employ
ers as to improper employees.
The subsidized press uses the &C.
casion to offer the chalice, celestial
lied, to K. of L. lips, but it is evident
ly malicious tender, for so far as
the Chinese are concerned, white
men must rule America. Yea,
verify, the Chinese must go, nor
stand on the order thereof, but "glt!"
This will leave the white men to
fight among themselves over the
ruling business.

Saturday Morning, Nov. Z, 1885.
Mr.. TURNER wrote lengthy let
ter in answer to mild challenge.

Mr.. TURNER wrote lengthy let
ter in answer to mild challenge.
Mr.. McKaig remained silent in re-
spouse to an epistle snorting with
bravado.
The result points a moral.
In politics any sentiment, however
pure and undefled, can be held up
as treason to some interest Or class.
There is standard of right among
temperance people and another among
the llquor-dealers, and each can
point with horror or derision at any
pretension set up by the other.
The same is true in the parties.
Take, for instance, the tariff.
A large body Of people con-
scientiously look upon the current
depression as the direct result Of the
embargo imposed upon imports.
Another body equally numerous
and scrupulous look upon any move
ment toward modifying or abolishing
duties with fear and trembling.
So that when either suggests a
measure in consonance with party
tenets on the subject, the other points
to it as an odious outcropping Of a de-
liberatc purpose to ruin the country.
WHAT'S one mans meat is another's
poison in more ways than one in this
world of caste and conflict.
Hence, nominees of the future,
whatever betide thee, write no letters
Let the Ephesians and Galatians
wait until ye can get among them
privately.
Yea, more, let the heather rage
and the wicked imagine vain thing.
If the right arm or eye offend, ye
know the Scripture plan; and if the
tempter beguile thee, right-about- face
and kick him into the middle of next
week.

A RECENT Washington dispatch
states the following:
Evidently the President does not
agree with Senator German, of Mary
land, in his civil service views; for he
recently commended in the strongest
terms to a number of friends, the efforts
of tie present Mayor of Boston and
the declarations of the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Massachusetts.
in the interests of civil service reform.
Much surprise is expressed here that
Senator German should go so di&met-
rically opposite TO the Presidents views
on the subject and express himself SO
loudly against them.
There is something strange about
this. Mr.. Prince is in favor of civil
service reform, bat not the kind
wanted by the mugwump. That
appears to be Mr.. Germans attitude
also. Neither looks with complacency
upon the type Of the disease now
mildly prevalent in the administra-
ton. Why, then, should Mr.. Prince
be commended and surprise express
ed" concerning Mr.. German?

Political Refectto"s-One day when
Socrates had gone over to Mletus to
call on his friend, Aspasia, he was met
on the steps by Pericles.
"Pray, 0 Socrates, regard me not as
given over to rudeness, but | have so
much marveled that you do wear nor
hides nor sandals on your feet
"Know you then, sir,n replied the
philosopher, sit suits my purpose
best to be bare of foot, for | would
have the influence of Beall McKaig

There once were two cats in Kilkenny;
Each thought there was one cat too many;
So they quarreled and fit,
They scratched and they bit,
Till excepting their nails,
And the tip of their tails,
Instead of two cats there weren't any.
Last week there was a candidate
With beautiful smell;
But Tuesday evening it wthered
And, like the dull thud, fell.
See the lights culver
Far up Salt river.
The agony's over
And some are in clover.
Now meek
And weak
We seek
Salt Creek
Though bright the skies,
The weather fair,
Yet there were signs
deep despair.
And moaning as of hope bereft,
Bythose who found that they were left.

In his reply to ex-Attorney- Gener-
al Gwynn Mr.. S. 7. Wallis alludes to
the old fogy style Of handful adver-
Using IN no complimentary terms.
AS medium of publishing registra-
ton results it is undoubtedly open
to serions objection, and no less so in
other respects, legal and business.
Were the lists published in the news
papers they could not be destroyed
before the people had opportunity to
scrutinize them. So with all public
announcements. Assoclatiated in a
newspaper with the current news and
opinion of the day, they secure a pop
ular interest and attention which, in
handful shape, cannot be attained.
Hence, all information, especially OF
an official or legal character, should
go into the newspaper as the medium
most certain of reaching the masses,
and as record the most durable.
The tendency is moreover good in the
reflex effect upon popular intelligence.
When people understand that they
must look solely to the newspaper
for the claw and testimony" q tempta-
ton to read is thrown in their way.
This is a goodly allurement and,
more Astounding even than mercy, it
blesses not only those who give and
take, but saves to the uttermost every
valuable interest of society.
