SLOPE NO. ..
BY ROBERT LOyEMAN.

AT Nanticoke, Pa, recently, twenty-six
men were buried in Slope No. 2, of the mines.
The bodies have not yet been recovered.
O'erhead the earth is gay and bright,
And the birds on the boughs are singing;
But down where they toll it is dunnest night,
And the men in the mine are singing
They sing and dig, these martyrs brave
Who no danger dream of shirking
Though they little think they are digging
grave,
And the men in the mine are working
They work for their wives and gaily tell
Ofsome baby boys bright saying,
There's thunder sound and a crash of hell,
And the women above are praying.
They pray and weep fer the loved ones lost,
Who for bread, not fame, were carving,
And their hearts with woe are tempest-tossed,
And the men in the mine are starving.
They slowly starve-oh God, 'ts sad,
To think oftheir wan cheeks paling,
Still they cry for bread until they all go mad ;
And the orphans above are wailing.
They weep and vail for father gone
And mothers means and sighing,
And the winds sing sorrow at early dawn,
And the men in the mine are dying

The bids for coal to the water
works at Boston were opened, and if
they are an index of the rates likely
to be asked this season soft coal is
going to be higher along the seaboard.
1t is largely due to the higher freights,
beyond doubt, that this is so. The
bids were New Central Coal Co.,

$3.7O; Consolidated Coal Co., 1915;
o. D. Wi.herell, 1866; Maryland

hardly dare to name low delivery

do business based on f. o. b. prices
Coal Trade Journal.
Ice in the Chesapeake bay, the Del
aware river, and this harbor, and
snow and floods, have done much to
disturb the the movement of this
coal. The consequence is, that firm
err prices for spot coal are obtalnable.
There are indications that the Beech
Creek road Will not be nearly
so disturbing in this years bust
ness as it was last year; but it is said
that the Norfolk and Western, with
Its Pocohontas coal, is very actively
canvassing for low prices. There is
suspicion that the Baltimore and
Ohio is cutting rates to some of its
favored shippers. This, however, we
have been unable to confirm.
Boston.-The bituminous branch
of the market is as dull as before
noted, so far as actual reported trans

content with $4,000 year, twice
that amount is deemed necessary to

rade level.
The Annapolis correspondent of
the Baltimore Times, in speaking OF
the matter, says:
The Fifth Regiment being the most
efficient military organization the State
can rely on for active service, it is be-
lieved it will ask the legislature to
make it special appropriation, and
not to put it on the same footing with
some of the raw militia squads in the
counties.
Upon this the Cumberland Neaos
makes pertinent comment:
If military "rawness" consists in
inability to shoot straight it would look
as though considerable of the article
existed in Maryland outside of the
counties"
The Legislature should not over
look target talent when it indulges
any military organization with ga
special appropriation" In this re-
spect our squads will not agree to be
rated at par with the proud flesh of
the city. Nor will they tolerate equal
ity with soldiers who, instead of load
ing a musket by inserting the car
fridge in the barrel, try the Japanese
method of squeezing the barrel over
the cartridge.
If that be aristocratic, make the
most of it!
A.BooMERANG.-The Legislature
of Maryland Wednesday reelected
Hon. A. P. German to the United
States Senate.
The unanimity with which he was
nonmaied by the caucus of his party
after campaign remarkable alike for
the numerical littleness of the hostile
gang and the noisy NAL gnancy with
which he was pursued, suggests that
possibly it was best for him that he
passed through the ordeal. Had not
his character and deserts become an
issue before the people his foes might
have jeopardized his political for
tunes upon the narrower arena of the
Legislature. They selected the pop
ular tribunal, however, and lost, and
in caucus no one was poor enough to
name competitor. Persecution
magnlfied his name and literally
chased him into the United States
Senate.
If the Legislature will provide for
a re- assessment fair and uniform as
possible as to real, and inquisitorial
as to personal property, including all
securities, we believe the first year
under it's operation will witness a re-
duction of the State rate from 1S4 to
10 cents per 800. This would bet
ter provide for the support of public
schools than the present arrange
ment, and enjoy besides the merit of
approximate equality of taxation as
inculcated by the Constitution.
In effect the anti-mortgage tax
people argue that man who owns a
twenty-thousand dollar farm is quite
wealthy, but the gentleman who
owns fifteen thousand mortgage on
it is Y pauper.
Nevertheless we do not believe that
restoration Of the latter class to
their legal situation IN society by inn
posing taxes upon their property will
diminish attendance ut our aims

sioners.

THE COPPER MARKET.
How the Red Metal Fluctuated Last
Week in Gotham.

Copper is dull and quiet in this market,
says the New York dining and Engineering
Journal OF Last Saturday. though prices
are nominally unchanged at 11Kc. for Lake,
and 1O@1Ohc., according to quality, for
other brands. Our exports continue very
light; during the week only 623, 800 pounds
of matte and liz, O72 pounds of bars were
exported, while we again imported copper
to the amount Of $50. O45 pounds. There
are no stocks Of any Importance, and pro-
ducers are firm and Indifferent. Chill still
remains weak; it is quoted to-day in Lon
don f41 los.
Messrs. Henry Bath & Sons report, under
date OF April !, is as follows: The charters
for second half Of this month are advised
TODAY as 1,40O tons fine copper. Price OF
bars, $17.GO, with exchange 24Ad. Deliv-
cries for the fortnight have been 4, S35 tons
against imports 8,49O. The total visible sup
ply is 1886 tons, against 81, 1856 tons last
fortnight. American arrivals have been1 1874
tons into England and 3OOtons into France
equals 1,4S4 tors, making 1898 tons from
January 1, against 1851 tons last year.
During the fortnight, $50 tons of ingots
have been reshipped to the States. The
arrivals from America have principally
been Anaconda matte and other matte,
being remainder OF contracts made last
year. In view Of the depleted. state of the
stock OF material at Swansea and Liver
pool, it is difficult to see what ia to pre-
vent our smelters having t.. fall back on
bars for Il cir needs within the next month.
The sale reported to-day OF 500 ions Ana

The Butte Railroad Field.

"The most astonishing thing that l OBJ
serve in railway circles,' said a prom,nen,
citizen of Helena to a representative of thu
Independent OF that city. sis the apathy
which the Northern Pacific appears tc
maintain in regard to an independent con.
nection with Butte. 1t is beginning to dis
play some activity in the way of develop.
ing a system Of feeders, and yet it let's the
unrivaled Butte field remain unoccupied.
1t has let the Montana Central get ahead
in the race for Remini and the Sand Coulee
coal fields. and the first thing it knows that
same road will be hauling Sand Coulee coal
into Butte and hauling ore and con-
centrates out and perhaps east by way
OF Fort Benton and the Manitoba
Railway. The Butte people will not put
up with this third rail pool any length of
time; they will take some of their own cap
ital and pave the way for the Montana
Central into their camp. The Northern
Pacific will awake to a realization of the
Importance Of the Butte field too late if
they do not hurry up with an independent
and direct road into the camp. Tie Butte
mines have got to have Cheap fuel and
transportation, and they are going to have
IT soon IRON one source or another. Butte
is a comparatively accessible place, and the
TACT that it has only got only one railroad
is one OF the most remarkable things in
this era OF railroad building and is a condl-
ton OF affairs that cannot last yery mnch
longer"
