The movement to disbar J. w. s.
Cochrane was il failure.
AS to Mr.. Cochrane's merits or de-
merits in the matter wherewith he was
charged the JOURNAL has nothing to
say.
But it cannot understand why the
Cumberland Times, so-called news
paper, should have joined the crusade
against him.
So far as we can ascertain of Mr.
Cochrane's biography he has never
been ii registrar of voters.
If he had been it is certain as fate
that he would have maintained his III
dividuality as such. He would not
have sunk it into combine where flies
cannot be distinguished from tieas.

THE democratic nominees for the
State Senate this fall will be selected
for their known devotion to Senator
German, who will need their votes
two years hence for United States
Senator.
In this county all other aspirants
may as well stand aside.
The republicans also may as well
understand that some harmless one of
their number is booked for the nom
nation.
SO that in any event Mr. German is
to continue to ride upon the top wave
of power, the rank and file of both
parties being roped in to do his inn
pcrial will.
Great guns! How gullible are the
masses
There are republicans in this coun-
" who are as good democrats as Mr..
German wants, and Mr.. German is
just as good republican as the
ShrewdeSt politician of that ilk could
furnish plans and specifications for.

assume too much in this mattcr-Cumhcr-

What difference does il make where
the idea starts
The notion of observing tn" Tooth

county originated with the JOURNAL.
yet the Cumberland Times put its ''cf-
forts" to work on il and converted it
into essentially II Times bantIing in

fearful miscarriage about three
months in advance of the fullncss of

WE hear that Master Workman John
Chambers, Of ID. a. -, knights Of
Labor, has secured the services of
Thomas b. McGuirc to deliver lectures
on the labor question.
Nj. Chambers is a well known gro
Ger. and not workingman in the ac-
ccpted SENSE of the term. He may
have been workingman at one time
if so, he is retired workingman now

O, an Organ" up here is all sorts Of

lT does not appear that Mr.. McGuirc
is booked for FroSthurg. In which
case it is well.
AS a thcorist Mr.. McGuirc is a sue
cess. But no man in his business can
complete his work unless he is cndow-
ed with >upcrhuman force. He must
be able to convulSc existing habits of
thought. paralyzc dishonesty and
overthrow all the guiScs in which self
ishncss manifcsts itself. He must be
able to plant an earthquake in the
very core of the human constitution
and touch it off. and ever thereafter
elcctrify the dejriS with the gc,iuS of
the Golden Rule.
These things the Knights of Labor
and all the angels of their dispcnsation
cannot do.
THE showing for Broadway appro-
prlatlons, as compared with what the
street pays. indicates bad investment
in corporate government for the pco-
pie on that thorou%hfarc. 1t goes back

good for 20 years. 1t has been the
same all the time. Including person

portions of discrimination against

SENATOR GoRMAN is an owner of
those West Virginia allied interests
the Elk Garden coal region and the
West Virginia Central railroad.
He represents the State of Maryland
also in the directory of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company.
The two former, it is needless to
repeat, are West Virginia interests :;
the last Il Maryland interest.
Now. suppose an issue should arise
between the West Virginia and Mary
land interests involving the disposition
of the canal-how would Mr.. German
east the vote Of the State of MARYLAND
in the directory--for his own interests
and against Maryland'S, or for Mary
lands and against his own.
If he should do the latter. would it
not be the first time in his history that
he ever in his own or any represent

MINERS, some of you are on the eve
of selecting representatives who are to
voice your choice of nominees for the
next Legislature.
This is, then, the opportunity to
suggest that you want to send no
a~itators of ventilation bills to the
Legislature, and large majority of
your delegates should be selected with
Il view to that fact.
Do you know that your hold on 80
cents per ton, ventilation bill or no
ventilation bill, is very uncertain
one?
Do you know that mining wages is
on the down grade, a fact due to the
constant opening of new fields and the
consequent introduction of new com
pctitive Goals in market
Do you know that the only Safeguard
that you enjoy against ruinouS com
petition, the Seaboard Steam Coal
Association, has been held together
this year by main strength !
DO you know that, to preserve the
integrity of that organization, this re-
gion's owners have sacrificed the sale
of at least 2O0, 900 tons of coal-an un-
avoidable loss to you of 100000?
Do you know that if mining were
10 cents per ton the region would not
be IA ton behind last year, and YOU
would have $S0,00O more in your
pocket!
DO you know that the prohibitory
tariff duty on Nova Scotia coal is
more seriously threatened than even
before; that nearly all the new Eng
land consumers, with Gov. Amcs, OF
Massachusetts, at their head, are red
hot, not for low tariff coal, but fo,
free coal
Now, with all the harlships that al,
ready environ our trade, and those
that threaten it, why in the name OF
common sense do we want to hammer
our only industry with obstructive
legislation
If competition brings wages down
to 10 cents per ton, and free coal low.
ers it to - cents, what do we want
with a ventilation law that will carry
ii down to 20 cents
If the situation were looked at with
half sense no Knight of Labor would
go to the Senate or House of Delegates
unless he went on his own hook and
| ut his own expense.

THERE is an editor in Cumberland

nevertheless that it makes him tired to

Special N. o. Picayune.
Jackson, Miss, July Slate this
afternoon the following telegram
was received from Col. f. w. Nor
rill, who was stationed at Nichol-
son, a small station on the North,
eastern Railroad, near the Louisi-
ana line, with a company of mill.
tia, to aid the sheriff of Hancock
county in carrying out the orders
of the Governor, which were to
arrest the principals TO the prize
fight and their seconds, should they
enter the Stale:
"Sheriff of Hancock county re-
fused to allow troops 10 arrest prize
fighters without your further COM
mand. They have passed out of
the State. l leave with troops at
once"
The information was received
unaccountably late by Gov, Lowry
too late to enable a reply from
HIM 10 be effective for the arrest
of the law-breakers. Hence he
could take no further steps, the
guilty parties being then beyond
the Slate limits which depended
upon The execution of the law by
The civil or military officers of the
State.
Ii is only just 10 Col. Morrill, TO
say that under the circumstances
he was DOWerless To acf. The mill
tary being entirely subservienl 10

pected that The sheriff would obey

at the outcome OF the matter and
The action of the sheriff, but asserts
that he will issue papers tor the

THE A CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Conven'
ton will convene at Jackson on
next Tuesday, the 16Ih inst, at IL
M, for the purpose Of nominating
candidates for the several State
offices. 1t is generally understood
that the political complexion OF
this State is such that a nomination
by the State Democratic Conven-
ton is tantamount TO an election.
For that reason il is a matter OF inn
p0rtance that The delegates TO that
Convention, elected by the De-
mocracy OF each county, should
endeavOr to faithfully represent
the wishes of their constituents.
The campaign has been conduct
ed with commendable harmony
and good feeling, and there is
every prospect of a spirited but
harmonious conclusion. Unless
Col. John NJ. Stone is nominated
on tbs first or second ballot, as APP
pears highly probable, there will be
IA lively scufle. Col. Stone will
doubtless go in ahead, and there
seems 10 be- but little doubt of his
nomination.
Mr. M. M. Evans, for Lieutenant
Governor, seems TO be safe, but we
caution his South Mississip-
pi supporters and other friends not
be too sanguine, as many a point
IS lost by being too sure of its easy
capture.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE AT OCEAN
SPRINGS.

Editor Democrat-Star:
AT Hattiesburg, July, 1883, the
Seashore District Conference re.
solved 10 hold the next session al
Ocean Springs. July Sd, this year,
found the doors and hearts of the
good people living at Ocean
Springs open wide TO receive their
guests. In The absence of "A Bish,
OPP, Rev. DR.. It. S. West, presiding
elder, presided. A session of two
days concluded the business of one
Of the most interesting and salts
factory meetings of the Seashore
District Conference. The follow
ing lay delegates were elected by
the laymen Rev. H. j. Harris
(loCal), Hattiesburg, Henry Ware,
Pass Christian; George Walker,
Harrison county; John L. Smith,
Covington county. Alternates-
Hon. j. Z. Carter, Perry county,
and Chas. Ii. Wood, Moss Point.
The next session will be held at
Pennington.
1t was very gratifying to note
the improvements made in the last
four years at Ocean Springs. Some
one must have discovered Alladin's
lamp and rubbed it. Stores and
dwellings by the score have spruag
into existence, large tracts of land
have been purchased by Western
men to be laid off in lois suitable
for winter homes. Already the
capabllily ofthe soil demonstrates

retail at 81 per pound, and the
smallest at 25 cents.

Everybody seems in buoyant
and well they may, for The
of Ocean Springs and Jack

not be long until the whole Coast
section of Jackson county will be
settled by solid citizens from
and Western States.
