Decoration day was observed by Post
Scott, G. A. r. i'll becoming manner.
The Londonderry Band was in attend
ance, and won the praise of all, by their
fine music. The Post visited Rawson-
vile at 10 q. M, where there was very
full attendance, and the citizens there
contributed to help the Post pay expen-
ses for music &c. At the village at 3
p. IN. the attendance was not as large as
it would have been, but for the signs of
rain, yet over one hundred school
children, headedb by their teachers, made
one of the attracting features of the pa
rade. Everything passed off in a quiet
and decent manner and to the satisfac-
ton of the Post and citizens in attend
ance.
The Post desire to return thanks to
all who aided in any manner in the
Memorial services.
Post Scott, although small i'm number
are full of pluck, and deserve the thanks
of our citizens for the energy they dis
play, and the expense they incur for
music &c. on their Memorial services
in "honor of our fallen Brave" We
hope another year the town may appro-
pirate small sum to aid i'm defraying
the necessary expenses of Decoration
day.

taken III the coming campaign and
activity among the leaders of the two
wings OF the party to control both the
State and county primaries The
question is answered perhaps by say
ing, because there are certain unre-
liable democrats and republicans who
are willing to make trade, the one
to acquire power and influence in the
State Legislature, and the other to re-
tain the fat offices in the county. This
seems to be the opinion of the writer
in the Morning Herald, who is evident.
~ democrat and pretty we'll posted.
Your correspondent would make a
suggestion through an Independent
paper to both parties at this time, and
that is TO try the Crawford county sys-
TEN Of nominating the ticket at the
primary elections. What right has
any one man to rule in either of the
two great parties ? Are the three
National Banks of Cumberland, or
either one of them, to dictate to the
voters Of Allegany county whom they
will nominate That seems to be the
great question at the present time and
it seems to our mind that nolo is the
time to decide this matter. Look at
the expenses of Allegany county and
see where they can be cut down in the
different offices, commencing with
sheriff and going down to that of mag
istrate and road supervisor Compare
Allegany County expenses with other
counties in the State, and see VIII ere
there is room for improvement. "Those
who work our county conventions are
divided into two classes of politicians,
one wanting the honors of Office and
the other wanting the spoils. The
balance Is left to the people, who pay
the taxes and foot the politicians bills.
These are only a few thoughts that
may be interesting to your readers
from one who does not believe that
"tho democratic party in Allegan
county is in almost a hopeless minor
ity at the present time" The whole

thus far. There is no immediate
prospect of higher prices, though
there is general feeling that trade
will improve next month. The fol-
lowing report, dated Washington,
August goth, has appeared in the
morning papers, under the heading
"Eno1Hn0ns Coal C0nt1uct:"
DR.. Mortimer Ricardo. o. Caracas,
Venezuela, has completed contract
with his government by which he is
granted the exclusive privilege Of fur
nishing coal to all Venezuelan ports
for the use of steamers, gas retorts,
and other purposes, for ten years.
Hitherto, this contract has been held
by an English firm, and all the coal
used was sent from England. About
1000 tons are consumed annually.
Pennsylvania, it is said, will be drawn
upon to supply the coal needed, and
the first shipment to Venezuela will
be made about the LIST of September.
DR.. Ricardo proposes to remove his
family to the United States, and they
will reside in Washington. Meanwhile
he is in New York to complete plans
for transporting coal to the different
ports Of Venezuela.
We trust this report is well found
ed, Maryland or Alabama, it APP
pears to us, would be more likely
than Pennsylvania to supply the
Venezuela market.
B0stoH-There is small trade in
bituminous coal. Prices are lower
for cargo lots than any contract
price for Il large lot that could be
placed. Cargo lots are selling at
1885 for Cumberland Or Cleartield
delivered, but a contract price based
on average freight rates would be
$3.50, to say nothing of the pool.
The fact is, that freights are from 10
to IS cents below the lowest average
that shippers would dare to reckon
upon. There are but few parties
that would care to make contracts
now, at any price, and they seem
content to buy cargoes as needed.
Deliveries on old contracts are rush
ed forward as fast as possible at cur
rent low freights, which will let
shippers out at a profit, as most OF
the early contracts are believed to
have been taken at price equivalent
to $3.35@y$3.45 below bridges.

MINING J0URN AL
Saturday Morning, August 20, 1885.

The Allegany county temperance
alliance met last week and resolved
to make it uncomfortable for all can
didates for the Legislature this fall.
Two interrogatories were framed to
be pitched at each nominee as follows:
l. Will you, if elected to the legisla
ture, introduce and vote to submit to
a vote of the people of Allegany coun-
ty a local option law?
2. Will you, if elected to the legisla
ture, vote to submit to the people of
the State constitutional amendment
prohibiting the liquor traffic should
such bill be introduced?
In view of the wide sweep of the
second question it would seem that
No. is superhuous-somewhat after
the manner of the sheriff who, after
reporting several conclusive reasons
why certain gentleman was non est,
wound up his recital with the de-
claration-"and, finally, the afore
said traverser is dead" If the pro-
hibitionists contemplate local option
enactment for the State, that covers
Allegany county.
Further consideration of the matter
leads to the inference that the inter
rogators are providing for contin-
gency. 1t may be discovered that if
there is living chance for the State
law the county proposition will be
dispensed with. That if there is not
then eve will get what we can
But suppose nominee should de-
clare himself in favor of a law for the
county, but none for the State, and
another that he would introduce and
vote for bill for the State, but not
for the county, what does the alliance
propose to do with each? Clearly

the ungodly thirst of his convivial
neighbors, the other taking into cold
water fellowship the entire citizen
ship Of the commonwealth. 1t may
turn out that nobody will so reply, but
sometimes few very smart people
get up for the Legislature-men who
"run in with the hounds and out
with the rabbits For such it will
be well for the alliance to formulate
an inquiry to the general effect Of the
following:

The Prohibitionists of Preble county
met in convention at the Opera House on
Thursday last, and is claimed to be the
largest and most enthusiastic held here
for years. From our observation OF it,
we feel sure in saying that the party is
in earn est this year and mean business
from the very outset of the Ohio cam
paign. Judge J.. Chambers was made
chairman and the business of the con-
v~ention was efficiently went through
with. Several very excellent speeches
were made in the cause of Prohibition,
in which both the Democratic and Re-
publican party were handled without
gloves, and also the ministers of the COS
pei who ''pray like saints, and vote like
Sinners"
A platform was adopted, a county ex,
ecutive and advisory committee appoint
ed, and the following county ticket nomi-
mated, composed of gentlemen who would
fill the different places they are named
for with credit to themselves and honor
to our county. Representative, j. w.
