CORRESPONDENCE.
On Il High Horse.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
Much as | regret to differ with the
opinions OF newspaper so justly es-
teemed as the JOURNAL, the sentiments
of your last issue touching the con-
troversy between Mr.. Webb and Mr.
Powderly are SO at variance with the
current ethics of the age, and are
founded upon such an obvious mis-
conception OF the facts and the law of
the matter, that | cannot, with your
permission. let it pass unnoticed.
You say there is nothing to arbi-
trate" between the n. Y. Central
company and its employees. How do
you know that? Situated as you are,
you cannot know it as a .tact and,
therefore, you proceed to argue it as II
deduction of lao, to wit-that there
is nothing to arbitrate because there
can be nothing to arbitrate," and
thereupon you proceed to broadly
dogmatize that in dealing with its
employees no question about employ
ment or discharge can arise, save such
as the company alone may arbitrarily
choose to entertain that " Mr.. Webb
was right when he Determined that he
was not bound by any law, moral or
divine, to give reason for the dis
charge of certain men that Judges
OnSthe bench have done the same :"
that the right of the company to en-
ploy or discharge is inherent;" Its
life as a corporation and its liberty to
do business, like those of an individ-
ual, are vital parts OF itself !" that
ls Nd
Natures God have already establish
ed" &c.
With the utmost Difference and with
the highest respect for anything your
paper may utter, cannot character
ize such sentiments otherwise than us
shocking as even brutal, and only at
all eXcusable because evidently found
ed on an entire misrepresentation of
the legal and moral relations sur
rounding the life and existence of this
corporation.
Since when, may | ask, did the
''life OF a corporation and its liberty
to do business" become to be "Gke
those of an individual ?" An individ-
ual is a child of nature. He is born.
He is creature of God, and not of
man. AS such he has II right to live,
to be, to act, without other law.
Not so with Mr.. Webb's corporation.
1t is absolutely creature of men; of
the State its right to begin life and
to live and to die is entirely at the will
of the State. Its right to own proper
ty; the method of its user; the very
object, end and purpose of its existence
is prescribed by the State. In al.
these things and hundred others it
is totally unlike an individual.
These things being undoubtedly so,
in Judging of Its right to pursue its
present method we, therefore, have a
right to look at the reasons which call
ed it into being; the object of its
existence, and the limitations and re-
strctions under which it is allowed to
live at all.
Now the object of the State in Civ

Death of Mr.. JandOrf.


Joseph Jandorf died at his residence,
this place, early Tuesday morning,
aged 63 years, | month and % days.
The immediate cause of death was
pneumonia, superinduced by an attack
of la grippe last winter, from which he
never wholly recovered.
Germany, and at the age of 30 came to
this country and settled at Sandusky,
Ohio, whence he removed two years
later to this place. He had lived here,
therefore, about 81 years, during all
of which long period he felt and, as far
as he was able, eXemplified an active
interest in the promotion of the town.
He was twice Mayor, and at the time
of his death was councilman filling
the unexpired term of William Noel,
deceased. He enjoyed popular esteem
in marked degree, and his death is
deeply and generally regretted. He
was "a printer by trade, and all his
life expressed love for letters, which
frequently took shape during his long
mercantile career in illusions of con-
siderable merit.
A large family survives-nine boys
and three girls. The boys are mostly
grown and are already making a
sturdy impress upon trade in New
York, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, and
other places.
All were here to attend the funeral
and interment Thursday afternoon,
which took place in Cumberland. The
knights of Honor and the Mayor and
Council also attended. The attendants
were carried to Cumberland by a
special train, l53 persons going, of
whom so were Knights of Honor.
In connection with this report we
will include the action of the Mayor
and Council at special meeting, held
Tuesday evening.
The Mayor stated the object.
Mr.. Michael moved that the Mayor
and Council attend the funeral of Mr..
Jandorf in body. Carried.
On motion by Mr.. Lammert, a COM
mittee of two were appointed to draw
resolutions of respect.
The Mayor appointed Messrs. Lam
inert and Michael.
Motions instructng the Bailiff to
drape the Council Chamber; to secure
conveyance for Mayor and Council
from railroad station in Cumberland
to cemetery and to wear a badge of
mourning, were seyerally made and
adopted.

FRosTBURG, August %, 1890.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Those few words about the Frost
burg School contained in letter to
the Cumberland NelcS of the 18th inst.
We're written by one either in total
ignorance of the facts or with a desire
to deceive the public.
Apart from the statements that
Frostburg has the best site for IL school
building in the county, aud that the
present structure, erected III 1869, was
ut that time one Of the best, the con
tents of the letter Il generally untrue
and misleading. The truth of the
matter is this:
The fine lot on which our building
stands was not purchased by the public
at good and sufficient consideration,
but was granted to the county by Capt
Nelson Beall, deceased, at such Il nom
inal sum that the grant was almost
equivalent to Il donation,
Whatever the condition of the build
ing twenty years ago, it is now one Of
the most superficial structures in the
county. The foundation is not sub
stantial, and is only kept in its place
by embellishments of earth. Exposed,
as it is, to the blasts from the four points
of the compass, its reeling is too UNI
comfortably perceptible to its inmates
when violent storm is raging, and
only the breadth of lis base keeps 1t in
an upright position at such a time.
The consequence is that the plaster
and blackboards are continually
breaking and need repair almost
annually. Besides, it is the coolest

The statement elsewhere made by
principal A. A. Doub is conclusive of
Frostburg's need of u new public
school building.
And while the Board is ut ii let us
have an edifce worth showing not a
little hamlet here and there. This
thing of building shanty at Sand
Spring, Grahamton and in Beall's add
dition is a policy of expenditure which
shows too little for the money spent.
And then it furnishes no end of
trouble to the trustees of each school
in determining the extent of their sew
eral Jurisdictions.
GIVE us big, substantial school
building on the finest site in the coun-
ty, equip it corresponding y and Frost
burg will rise and shine.

Twenty Years.

With this number the Journal COM
pletes the twentieth year of it's exis-
tence. Twenty years is a long time
in the history of even a newspaper,
and looking backward it seems almost
wonderful that the Journal has sue
cessfully weathered all the storms in
cident to newspaper life in a small
country town, and where it SO often
happens that this subscriber or that
advertiser, is not exactly pleased with
what is published, and upon the mosL
friviious pretext discontinues q sub
scription or withdraws an advertise
ment. The Journal has never wavered
from the path Of duty 1t has upheld
its principles and never swerved from
its steadfastness to what it believed
to be for the very best interest of
Reno, Washoe county and the State.
And it can say thai during the entire
twenty years Of it's existence it has
never received dollar from any can
didate for Office, from Constable to u.
s. Senator, or from any person or any
source, aside from the regular pay for
subscriptions, advertisements and job
work. Reno Journal.
The Journal is to be congratulated
on its success, apd the INDEPENDENT
wishes it twenty years more of con-
tinued prosperity.
