In the neighborhood of Sydney such
fruits as the peach, nectarine, apricot,
plum, fig, grape, cherry and orange are
as plentiful as blackberries. If peach
stone is thrown down in almost any part
of Australia where there is a little mois-
ture tree will spring up which in
few years will yield handsomely. A
we'll known botanist used formerly to
carry with him, during extensive tray
els, bag of peach stones to plant in
suitable places, and many wandering
settler has blessed him since. Pigs
were formerly often fed on peaches, as
was done in California; it is only of
late years that peaches have been uti-
lied in both places by drying or other
wise preserving them. A basket load
may be obtained in Sydney markets,
during the season, for few cents.

A Step too Far.


If the record made up by the Cum
bertrand Times concerning the citation
OF Howard |. Hartman, editor of the
Frosburg Leclger, before
|, The States attorney
=, The grand jury, and
,, The court
Be correct, somebody has made a
mistake.
In taking this position the JOURNAL
does not approve of Mr.. Harman's
course in admitting all sorts of letters,
containing injudicious expressions, to
his paper. Such publications do not
subserve good feeling. Hence, as a
matter of public policy they are not
to be commended.
But there was nothing distinctively
libellous in any of them-nothing
that can be corrected by law. The
characters criticised are public offic-
ials, doing public work, and as such
every act is open topublic inquisition.
This is one Of the penalties of popular
prefcrment-one of the retributons
of official service, known and read of
all freemen in land yet free.
The action taken toward Mr.. Har-
man, therefore, smackS of an attempt
to intimidate and stihe public talk of
certain public officials and their pri-
vate policy of administering public
affairs. 1t sounds like an intimation
from the throne that the kings wrongs
are not to be discussed. and that on
one topic of public concern the press
must not be too free.
If the JOURNAL interprets the
significance of this court u.s. newspaper
episode Alright, and it thinks it does,
il wants to announce right here and
now that this paper will not be de-
tered by any demonstration of
authority from expressing its opinions
of public men as well as measures in
any lawful manner, and it will so
protect its correspondents.
Whenever, therefore, any force,
private or public, is able by legal or
illegal means to suppress or limit its
wonted Independence, this paper will
die right here or seek field in that
broad eXpanse outside Of Allegany
county where no legal reign of terror
exists to destroy that great instrument

human thought, emancipation TO hur

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 20, 1890.

flIISBCRCi, IA, Oct. 70 1880.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Saturday, Oct Is, 1890, closed one of
the most successful expositions ever held
in Plttsburg. People passed the turn
stile into the building, fully one
hundred thousand over last wears
attendance. The managers are quite
elated at this years Success.
Upon the same evening one of
Ohlo's gifted orators, Hon. William
Mckinley, held a vast audince almost
spell bound in the Carnegie building
in Allegheny city, just across the
river fromPlttsburg. He handled his
subject, the tariff, in mastery
manner. AT times the applause was
deafning.
Among the many attractions of
both this week is the convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
glneers. and your correspondent had
the pleasure of beng one among the
thousands who assembled at the Opera
House on Fifth avenue, Thursday,
10th inst, to witness the welcome of
the b. of l.. Il. by the Mayor of Pitts
burg. AT precisely o'cock the doors
were opened and an hour later the
spacious building was filed to over

platform We're Chauncey NJ Depew, of

n Lesson Tor Involuntary Subscribers
People who get papers for which
they have meyer subscribed should
learn, if they do not want such papers,
to refuse and return them until they
are stopped. Otherwise, they may
catch it as did the delinquent here of
the story below:
The editor ofthe Independence (Kas) Star
sued delinquent subscriber for eleven
dollars. The delinquent claimed that he had
never subscribed for the paper, and didn't
propose to pay. The Judge instructed the
jury that if the evidence disclosed the fact
that the defendant had taken the paper from
the office or caused it to be taken they should
find for plaintiff. 1t cost the man nearly
hundred dollars to settle what eleven dollars
would have paid.
SO, dear reader, if any publisher has
somehow found out your name and is
sending his paper to your address on
the strength of your taking it out of
the post Office in ignorance of your
liability for the subscription fee, you
cannot too soon inform him in some
definite way to stop it. That is, of
course, if you do not want TO pay for
the paper.
The JOURNAL sends out no papers
after that style. Its circulation is not,
therefore, IS extensive as is some of
those who are claiming great adverts-
ing patronage on account of the big
fight they have got to make TO get all
those upon whom they have made
levy to pay the tax.

GENERAL NEWS.


Misdirection, incorrect, illegibe,
and deficient address are given as
leading causes which occasion the fail
ure of mail matter to reach its proper
destination, and affect alike that which
is so addressed to either city, town, or
village.
In addition to these, in the case of
matter mailed to cities or free-delivery
Offices, are the failure to give street or
number, business or occupation, or
some designated place of delivery of
the person addressed inability to find
transient people, and their neglect to
give forwarding orders for their mail +;
the neglect of permanent or temporary
residents to notify the carriers of post
office of change of place for the de-
livery of their mail matter upon NOV
ing from one part of the city to
another, together with the failure of
newcomers to furnish the post office
with their names and places of address
1t is to these causes, with others of
more or less consequence, that the non
delivery of mail matter is, in the main,
attributable, and they are conditions
over which the postal service has no
control, and may alone be remedied
by the people themselves.

Take Some Other Tack

The Baltimore critic Impeaches the
JoURNAL's record of 1.-The Big II
visitation to Annapolis. 1t does this
over two years after that record was
printed.
The Critic does more. 1t sets up
against that record little notion i'm
pressed upon the tablet Of its memory
to the effect that Mckaig's timid re-
marks on that occasion, when he had
men to meet, cOntraSted with his
sonorouSness in the Senate when he
had things all his own way, was not
due either to his lost interest in the
bill, or his Shamefacedness before
people who hne'o something about
ventilation and mining. This thought
the critic concludes:
Because the JOURNAL SAID something two
years ago that was untrue about Mr. Mckaig
making some sort of an apology for the mine
ventilation bill, there is no reason why any
sensible man should believe it now
But the JOURNAL said nothing "un-
true" two years ago.
There was no occasion for mis-
representation then. II mns the odious
bill IRE rere after Men not McKaig.
We saw in his manner, tone and
aroy3s that he was lawfully tired" of
the whole disrcputable business. and
wanted no more of it.
so that when he comes with his
buncombe achievement in the Senate
as special claim upon the votes of
the miners, we want the latter to under
stand that there is no virtue in it.
Now, then, % far as the JOURNAL
cares every miner in the county may
vote for him, but it begs them to do it
on some other ground than gratitude
for an effort which, entirely success
full. would have done them infinitely
more harm than good.
