y CRUCIAL QUEsTIoN.-In the House
OF Representatives Tuesday the follow
ING colloquy took place
Mr.. Laird (Neb.) Indignantly resented the
attacks which had been made on the cattle
breeders and other Western citizens. lie said
they were held up to the public as were the
thieves on the cross, only there were three
instead of two of them-thc settlers were
thieves, the cattle-mcn were thieves, and the
SyndiCatcs were thieves.
Mr.. Weaver Iowa) replied that the thieves
on the cross repentcd, and these people did
not.
Mr.. Laird retorted that they did not repent,
for they did not admit that thev were thieves.
Mr.. Weaver wanted to know, then,
as the JOURNAL does of the Cumber-
land Times, ''what ais the gentleman ?"
Evidently getting no response Mr.. W.
continued the inquiry thus:
Is it worms
The newspaper record states:
But the gentleman made no reply.
There is as much likeness between
Mr.. Laird and the Cumberland Times
i'll the matter Of crucial questions as
between two bumblebees.

way his wonders to perform.
The Lonaconing Rcriem is dis
pleased with inspector Browning S
administration, and, us usual in such
cases, charges him with responsible
ty for the philosophy which follows g:
\ large number of miners are compelled to
work in black damp everyday and not a day
passes but what some of them are sent home
or cannot work ON account of the presence OF
bad and the absence Of good air. Such in the
case with some Of the mines in this town.
Sometimes the company Is blamed
for 'compelling' men to work in
black damp; sometimes for not ''com-
pelling' them to work in bad air.
Sometimes it is an immense hard
ship to be required to work under uu
wholesome conditions. At other
times it is equally tough to be ''sent
home" to escape the deadly environ
ment.
If the company is despotIc, it is
condemned. If it is humane, it is
denounced.
All such ccnsors, however, have
but one eye, and. that is blcar. TO
this lone, lOrn, rheumy optic the en-
ploying element, like The malefc
moon, shows but one side. Its cr
p0rtc view starts with the exotic
notion that the companies are here
under some imperative law-some
inviolate obligation to provide work
for the knights of Labor, and easy,
comfortable, delightful work at that
From this on how natural it is to
conclude that every condition, every
circumstance, every provision should
bend to the wishes, convenience and
profit of the miners in general and
the Knights of Labor ill particular.
But there is another side, Invisible,
us we have said, to these one-eyed,
also *''onion-eyed" fault-iinders-a
side, however, which we never hear
of, because the companies do not make
business of showing the public
their sores and ''hollering" for the
Legislature to come and lick them.
If the conditions complained Of by
knights of Labor bring loss to them,
they do the same thing for the COM
panies, and in such volume that, if
removable by any bearablc expen-
diture, would not remain day long
er than the work of removal could be
done.
But the latter have no more
control over the natural evils which
atllict them than over the artificial
ones which, when the air is good,
depopulate their mines of the most
captlous and fastidious devotees of
the Noble Order, They Lever COM
plain aloud nor publish in the papers
their disgruntlement when IL day of
good, sweet, fresh air is thrown away
on spendthrift picnic or IL gambling
footrace.
TO Observant people outside the
forbearance Of the employing element
with such trifling is standing
wonder.
*rhe Cumberland Times can find this COM
pound in Shakespeare as sufiiX equivalent
of candid statement betting its own ego on
! the school question.

THE Cumberland -News says "if
Frostburg wants to play bait with
Cumberland Frostburg must furnish
better club" In the first place
the metropolis is not playing ball
this year as metropolis with any of
the outlying provinces. In the next,
as metropolis it has no club, and,
thirdly, it remembers with undying
pleasure the time when, with club,
it thrashed the provincials at home
and abroad, including an occasional
umpire who moved in mysterious
way his wonders to perform.

first time. and for the first time see what
she can offer them in this way of home.
Men engaged in developing the resources
beneath the surface of the earth will know
for the first time that Augusta has iron,
marble, manganese and other riches in
which it would pay to invest. Men will for
the first time learn that in our county are
thousands of acres waiting to be cut up
into small farms and sold at reasonable
price-and not acres of worn out land
either, but land which yields as much
wheat as the avera ge of Western land. 1t
will be the first time Augusta has had an
opportunity to come out from her noun
tain home; be seated On the road side
where are passing the great crowds of the
world, and have what she has for sale
inspected by that crowd. 1t will be a
great and unprecedented opportunity, and
as such we hope and believe the Board of
Supervisors will view it.
In the meantime our Chamber Of Com
MERGE would do we'll to stir Staunton up.
Our city must not be left behind by other
Virginia cities, indeed, she should be
pushed ahead of them if possible. We
must look long way ahead, and not only
see that interest in the Exposition is
created, but that the Councilmen we elect
] ten days from now will be live, liberal.
60 ahead men who will take hold of this
opportunity with hand of liberalty and
progress
