INSPECTOR OF COAL MINES"
\ miner" Takes Exceptions to MIR. Hub
bard's Vote Upon That bin and Accuses
Him of Being Unfriendly to Labor.
WEBBING, October -, IsvU.

WHEELING, October 20, 1890.
To ne Edf0r or ne Register.
SIR: Mr.. w. p Hubbard's opposition
20 labor legislation did not end with his
vote on the eight-hour law in 1852.
Upon the very same day that the eight
hour bill was killed the same gentleman,
representing the coal miners Of this
county as well as the mine owners and
iron mill corporations, gave other StabS
To labor legislation.
A great effort was being made by
philanthropistS and friends of labor TO
pass "a measure to protect the coal
miners, who spend SO much of their
time away from Gods sunshine, delvins
in the earth at constant risk of death
from nOXiOuS gases and caving mines.
On that day there came before the House
of Delegates Of West Virginia House
bill No. l52. "A bill providing for an
inspector OF coal mines and regulating
the same, and for the protection aud
safety OF persons employed therein
10 was moved to amend the bill so that
the Mine Inspector must be compe-
tent civil and mining engineer. No
matter how long the practical expert
ence of a coal miner might be, and no
matter how thoroughly competent for
the place he might be and how much
his fellow labOrerS might desire his
appointment, If he was not a civil and
mining engineer (no laborer in this
State is SUCH and this amendment was
adopted, he would be ineligible for APP
pointment rs inspector. But the
friends OF labor were on the alert.
MessrS. Kepner and Seabright We're
there and the amendment was defeated.
The Hon. w. Z. Hubbard was found
voting for this amendment, which would
have so greatly married the beneficial
effects of the bill. MINER.

the boss mountain OF the continent, its
real height is no more than 1880 feet.
This is a great come down for a noun

coMMIsSIONER MAsON's Defense.

COMMISSIONERS MASON'S Defense.
In another column will Doe found a
lengthy communication from Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue JoHN W..
MAsoN, ia reply to correspondence pub
ishcd en- the REGSrEE from WardenS-
willie, charging that Internal Revenue
gaugcrs and Storckecpcrs were being
kept iu Hon. W. L. WILSON'S district
ostensibly watching liquor at - a day,
who i'm reality were devotiug themselves
90 partisan political work In behalf of the
Republican party.
Mr.. Mason considers his official integ-
rity impugned by this correspondence
and charge. and quotes the law at length
90 show his perfect right 20 keep these
officials there. Now, neither Commits
sioner MAsoN's official honor nor his
lawful right TO keep these gaugers at
these posts have been On any way what
ever questioned by our correspondent.
The fact was stated that these federal
officials were stationed there watching
few gallons OF whisky at - a
day and running around doing
dirty political work in the I'M
tcrcst of their party. Whether or
not Mr.. Mason was aware Of the con-
duct his officials We have no means Of
knowing and have not stated. We have
made no charges against him, nor ques-
toned the technical right undor tho law
Of these officials 20 be there. We have
stated the facts of which Mr.. Mason
can easily inform himself II is con-
dition Of things that would not have
been permitted under the former admin
istration and We trust now that this adj
ministration's attention has been called
90 10 stop will De put 20 the pcrnicious
partisan activity OF these Federal Off
cials.
Mr.. Mason takes 10 upon himself to
credit Mr.. WILLIAM L. WILSON with
the authorship'or inspiration Of our cor
respondeuce Through an oversight
marked telegram from WardenSville,
and very nl-naturcdly criticiseS that
gentleman In his communication. Now,
neither with the Wardensville CORES
pondence nor with any other cor
respoudence that has appeared in these
columns on the subject has Mr.. WILSON
had the slightest hand iu or knowledge
Of With what he may have said in i'm
terviews in other papers the REGISTER
has nothing to DO.
The REGISrEE has stated nothing bu
facts. namely, that Internal Revenue
gaugers are stationed in Mr.. WILSON'S
district csteusibly watching one barrel
or few gallons Of whisky az - day
and are spending their time in partisan
political work.
We trust Commissioner Mason will
stop work which is disgraciug his adj
mini>tration.

Must Hang Our Heads in sham,

WI T VTN 'TIITTIs
If that Force bill becomes law dur
ing the next session of Congress, as
senator EdmundS predicts it will, every
honorable citizen must needs hang his
head in shame. When the time comes
that the party In power interfereS with
State elections in order TO give itself a
new lease of life. we shall enter upon
the last chapter Of our history. 1t is
better that the Republican party should
be- defeated than that the Republic
should be sacrificed to It's greed and
avarice.

1t would seem not from the tone Of

against their burdens formerly.
The people of America were not slaves
eight years ago though Republican
speakers seem TO think they were then
in a state OF complete subsection and
would not have dared 20 stand up for
their rights. They understand their
burdens and the injustice of them fully
now, and, so understanding they do
"darc" 70 rise and protest against them.
There is a harsh lesson in store for
these anointed few. these men who
think they own the country, soul as well
as body And this lesson they Will learn

wealth and trickery and corruption can
not avoid 60.
