that will use the upper part of 1t and let the

CONGRESSMAN Manseur. of Missouri, 8 demo-
Graf proposes that all further democratic
onnosition to the illegal and outrageous
onstipe of democratic members of the u.
House of Representatives shall cease. Inc
idea ia good one and should be adopted
The republican majority in the House neltn'
or know nor want to know anything about
contested election CAGES; they haven't
evan enough interest in them to remain IN
their seats to hear statement thereof. All
thew know of contested case when 1t 10
before them lie that the national republican
committee has ordered republican to con-
feat the seat of democrat, and that tnat
order has been obeyed. That is all they
care to know about it, and though their side
of the House may he empty during the ar
oument of the case, at the close thereof they
will all return to their seats and vote for the
republican, utterly irrespective OF facts or OF
law or of Justice The fate Of the democrat
ic incumbent is sealed as soon as the repub-
Iican elections committee reports against
him. and that being 30, all efforts TO save
him must necessarily be vain, and the time
snd labor spent therein be a useless waste.

One thing is very plain. The communica-

The JOURNAL does not think they
were written in the newspaper office :;
that is, not necessarily written there.
They were most likely Fabricated i'll
a literary bureau of some celebrity
here, where the consensus of public
opinion is understood and known
every morning before family prayer.
Otherwise, since the days when the
prophets and evangelists wrote as they
were moved by inspiration there has
not been coincidence of topic, study
and expression so decided as this-not
even on the Day of Pentecost, when

testified of one thing in the same tone

Better Let this Paper Have its Way.
1t is characteristic of Mckaig democ-
racy to support the ticket only when
the McKaig democracy is thereon rep
resented, and only that portion that
is thus represented.
That is the case with their chief. 1t
is as much as he can do to save his
life to be democrat when he is not on
the ticket.
In 1881, when he wanted the nomi-
nation for the State Senate and didn't
get it, he not only laid out the grave
yard for the ticket, but he helped bury
it,
And it has come to pass that certain
gentlemen democrats who are now so
outspokenly loyal to the ticket were

MINING JOURNAL.
FRosTBURG, MD, OCTOBER IS, 1890.


Besides finding in Mr.. Lee a distinct
type of the Master Workman the New
York Nation, one of the ablest papers
in the United States, reads a lesson to
the New York Central railroad com
pany concerning their proscrlptlve
duties in the employment of labor that
goes farther than the JOURNAL ever has.
1t lays down the doctrine that the
company owes it to the innocent public
to employ no agents in any depart
ment of its operations where safety Of
life and property is concerned, upon
whose mode of doing his duty any
other force or influence has a claim of
control.
There is immense force in this view
of the case, even from the Noble Order
standpoint of selfish morality. For
if a company has no right to discharge
a man because he is a Knight of
Labor, there would appear to be from
the company's side right no less visi-
BILE to exact the undivided allegiance
of its employees.
But we anticipate. Here is the
article:
There are two features in the case which
merit, and we trust will receive the special
attention of Mr.. Webb aud the other man
ayers of the New York Central. One is. that
all these conspirators agree that Master.
Workman Lee, the head of the District AS
sembly which got up the strike, stood be-
hind them in this matter, and, if he was not
an accessory before the fact, was an acccS-
sorry after the fact, and furnished them
with money to escape the punishment
due to their crime. Now, the kind of man
this Lee is must have been long known to the
officers of the road. The Powderly cores
pondence shows that he Q.ee) had been
plotting and planning for strike for months
He must be noisy, gaseous sort of person,
whose untitness for service in an organized
force must have been evident months ago.
Why was he not discharged before his plans
had time to ripen? He cannot have been
during all this period a useful and efficient
employee. In any such service as that of
railroads, just as much as in the army or
navy, a gabby ''sea-lawyer'' sort of man
ought to be got rid of as soon as he is found
out. The second consideration is, that we
trust Mr.. Webb, in the light OF these events,
will revise his rule of not discharging men
simply because they are Knights. We hold
that it is his solemn duty to the people who
travel by his road to see, as far as he can,
that there is no man among his employees
who belongs to any ''order" or society which
claims control over such employees manner
of doing his official duty, or over his relations
to his employers. There is here no room for
private or personal likes or dislikes, kindli-
ness or indulgence. Mr. Webb ought to
make peremptory rule that no Knight or
unionist of any description shall be allowed
in the service of the company. No corpora
ton charged with a quasi public service is at
liberty to employ such persons. Private cor
porations or firms may, if they like, but no
person who is entrusted with the lives or
property of third parties has any right to do
so, or will have any excuse for doing so after
the warning conveyed by this remarkable
conspiracy.

"A Yoke that is Easy"

The Baltimore Critic spoils very
pretty compliment by putting a spider
in the dessert of a good wish:
The MINING JOURNAL, of Frostburg, has

off the yoke of the mineowner
How the idea that the JOURNAL.
wears "yoke" ever got into the heads
of certain guild passes comprehen-
sion.
And yet more so that a stand for
perfect individual liberty and mutual
prosperity of mine-owners and miners
can be mistaken for ''yoke.'
These and these only are all the
JOURNAL has sought for years past,
and the wisdom of its course is seen
daily in the peace and plenty which
crown all legitimate labor in this
region.
To say, therefore, that all the JOUR
NAILS unanswerable arguments were
written under stress of evoke" is to
confess that the mine-owner's occupy
an impreguable position.
is to admit at last that they have
a right, unqualified and unabridged,
to manage their own property and
conduct their own operations in their
own way.

it.

Where the Lightning Strikes.

Meyersdale, Pa, is in great luck.
Last week the JOURNAL chronicled
the nomination of Kennedy Price for
the State Senate by the democrats,
and this week the prohibitouists have
nominated George H. Hooking for
Congress. George was once Frost
burger. a contributor to the JOURNAL
and generally good boy. We are
therefore prepared to fully believe the
following from the Register
Mr.. Hooking has the intellectual qualifica-
tons for an efficient representative, while ne
is morally head and shoulders above the
average candidate for political honors. If all
the candidates who offer for election were of
the same caliber there would be less yenality
in State and national politics,
