MEssRs. Mayer and Cunningham
agreed upon one proposition-the
visit of Legislative committee to this
region to see whether the ventilation
bill is needed and, if so, whether it is
practicable to enforce it.
The JOURNAL regards this method
of getting at the facts us the best that
can be adopted. Sooner or later this
must be done, the sooner the better.
1t is about time the irritations oc-
casioned by so.called leaders, (gener-
ally but not always examiners send
ing measures to the legislature were
stopped.
Assuming that Ssnator McKaig's S
mistaken Congressional aspirations
will take the ventilation mine bill
through the Senate, the JorRNAL
volunteers to beg the House delega-
ton, or any one of their number, to
insist to the last upon visit to this
region. Let that committee be
speci0l, so as to take within its scope
test of actual mining sentiment
here as to the need, not only of the
mine-ventilation abortion, but of the
semi-mOnthly payment bill as we'll.
The committee should see fully that
the people who are seeking the .egis-
lation referred to do not know what
they are asking for. A sight of IA
Consolidation payroll and II talk with
a clerk who has to make it out, will
convince the committee that to
double that already Onerous work
will as certain as fate eventuate to
the damage Of the miners.

Nor long ago "a correspondent
writing from Frostburg, Md.," to the
Baltimore SIN, made enquiries in
regard to trusts" Alter defining and
Illustrating the nature of trusts,
corners, pools, etc, the SIN states
the inquiries us follows:
Our correspondent asks what is to be said
of the association in the bituminous coal
trade to keep up the price Of coal, not against
the interest of the consumer, but to MAINTAIN
a rate of wages sufficient to indemnify the
miner for the onerous and dangerous nature
of his labor ?' What we want to know, 3"
csays, "is whether an association, alias trust,
ofthls character ought to be subjected to the
odhum which tariff reform discussion has
brought Hpon t?'
To this the .S"n very shrewdly re-
Plies:
The misunderstanding as a fact the dis
puted proposition that the bituminous assoca-
tion exists for the benefit of the mincrs-is
that such an association is not a trust in
abuse Of language to call it that. Whether it
is right and proper thing under any name
depends upon the effect of the associations
upon the community at large. 1fthe associa-
ton manages to keep wages high without ad-
ding toa corresponding extent to the expenses
of an equal or greater number of consumers
of COal-mOst of whom are poor people-it
does q noble work and InnSt hn npplpI
If the duty Of 10 cents Il ton on bituminous
coal benefits consumers of coal equally with
the miners, it is practically a good thing
though if it does that consumers, it may be
suggested, would be willing pay the extra
10 cents without tariff law to compel them
to do so.
The interest Of "the community
at la1ye" is held paramount by the
Sun, and the JOURNAL would not
dispute it even as the highest dictun
of political economy.
But it is IL rare rule that is free
from exceptions.
1t may be proper that poor miners
should work hard at ii dangerous
calling for low wages because ii ma,
.orlty OF the consumers, also poor, are
greater in number, but it is difficult
to discover the obligation to do so in
any law, written or unwritten. But,
granting that it exists, why does it
not include lawyers and doctors, who
charge higher prices for service than
the mechanics, or skilled workmen !?
Why allow them the advantage of the
extraneous considerations involved in
special education and training. and
deny to the miners similar concess-
ion equally due them on account of
the peculiarly hard and hazardous
character Of their work ?
The correspondent of the Sun had
this idea in view. He thought that
an association, at least one of whose
prime objects is the maintenance of
wages for mining a; rate commen-
surate with the conditions and risks
of underground work-that such an
association ought to enjoy exemption
from assaults heaped indiscriminately
upon combinations organized to keep
up prices. He felt that, in one in
staLce at least, the welfare of consul
mers as mass is no more exacting
of Difference than those of producers
as Il class.

1t is not generally known by our
contemporaries that legal sentiment
in this county favors Il concentration
of all legal and county printing in
not over two Cumberland papers.
That sentiment is pretty well crystal
lized and, the weather permitting,
will make itself felt erelong.
The fraternity, it seems, is too poor
to take all the papers, but their
clients and the Taxpayers are able
to arrange it so that they cali take

governor Jackson nominated State
Senator Richard II. Browning, of
Garrett county, for Inspector of Mines,
and he has been confirmed. Mr..
Hamill, incumbent, will therefore re.
tire from Office May 1st--this with
the regrets of many friends, including
miners and others connected with the
operations of this field, and many
also who deplore the loss of the place
to the county, where it rightfully
belongs. His term of service will be
remembered us one of value to the
region, though it is to be doubted
whether the public will ever fully APP
preciate it.
His successor is prominent gen.
tleman of the number who speedily
acquire acquaintance with official
details, no matter how new and
untried. Whatever prejudice he may
encounter in the outset, he is of that
amiable constitution which makes
friends wherever it comes in contact
with society.

THE present mining bill should pass. BY
its provisions our mine inspector would be
selected because of his knowledge of mining
not political chlcanery, as at prescnt.-Lo-

Over the left. The stream cannot
be purer than its fountain. The bill
referred to was conceived in the ''chi-
canery' of politics, born, reared, and
is now doing able bodied service in
the same sphere of action.
Inspector Browning's first duty to
himself is to see that it does not pass.
Or, should it get away from him
through both houses, his next duty
is due to the political fathers Of the
monstrosity-to see that their Off
spring is vetoed.
Were it possible to go further it
would be still better to deprive it Of
the power of reproducing Its species.
Or the 2,400 miners in this region
429 belong to the Noble Order of
North America.
Looking at the bills in the Legis-
lature going along under the 0egiS
of the n. o. n. A., it would seem the
''interest of one is tho concern" of
four or five Others-the others being
scabs.
However, these bills are pressed
ostensibly in behalf Of the eutlre
2.4O0, over 900 of whom have ask
ed for nothing of the kind.
1t is clear case Of the taIl wag-
ging the dog.
And Il clearer case Of the tall be-
ing manipulated by the will power
of several genii who are not miners.
