What Does This Mean?

Speaking of the reputed attempt to
bride the Homecoming Star, that paper
states the following circumstantial
coincidence
And since we come to think of it, the
Ledger changed its tactics about the same
time as the letter reached us. Is it possible
that the Ledger received letter too? Or
maybe it was called upon in person.
An "organ," it is presumed, may be
tempered with, but a newspaper"
that would let the Knights of Labor
kick it and keep it kicked into servility,
could not possibly be bribed.

A good many people living in the
lower end of the town of Homecoming
complain of having to walk to the
polls either to the center of their
own place, or to Barton-distances of
several miles. They ask for new
polling place somewhere close to the
imaginary line which separates the
town of Homecoming from Barton dis
trict. The arrangement will compel
the commissioners to form a new dis
trict, but the cry of the town voter for
rural privileges should be heard in
tins case with official ears oper to the
"holler" of distress.

To the MINING JOURNAL
Sunday next will be the second Sun
day of camp for this year at Allegany
Grove. Rev. W. H. Chapman, of Mar
tinsburg, new minister for the Fred
erick district, will make his bow before
an Allegany county audience in the
morning. He is attractive in delivery
and logical in presentation. In CON
ference sessions he is always listened
to with expectant attention, for in de-
bate and discussion he is piquant,
forcible and aggressive.
In the evening Rev. A. J. Gill, of
Frederick, will preach. He was pres
ent at the last camp and needs no in
PRODUCTION from our pen. He will
most probably be the guest of his
father-in-law, Samuel Luman, whose
cottage is located on Emory and Yves
ley avenues. Judging by the fruits of
the evening, his sermon last year was
productive of much good.

viii Not Work Both Ways.
things are happening.

Strange things are happening.
In Tennessee the miners abandoned
work in mines for some cause. no
matter what.
The owners, wanting coal, sub
stituted convict labor-with some
preference therefor, no matter what.
Then the miners assumed that they
held mortgage upon the very places
which short time before they
abandoned.
A fin0re followed which inoculated
a great many unthinking people with
the anarchistic idea that convict labor
necessarily and injuriously completes
with honest labor.
The result is-the State of Tennessee
is about to concede the dictum of Il
small class of its citizens that it (the
State) has no right to make its convict
labor self-sustaining that it is the
business of all the honest people to
pay the taxes necessary to keep the
convicts in idleness, and that while
the latter are sweating under the very
far greater competition Of each with
the mass, the convicts are kept safely
Gagged, like canaries, and fed on bird
seed.
All this. remember. because the in
truders are convicts-wards of the
State whom the State must safely
guard and maintain.
But in q later instance-in Ken
lucky, the miners make the same pro-
test and the same demonstration
against lot of colored men who are
free and honest as themselves, and
who, like themselves, must ''root, hog,
or die -
Now, if the Knight of Labor dogma
of free, respectable and socially equal
rivalry holds so effectively against the
usurpation by convicts of its assumed
presumption and monopoly of labor
in Tennessee. how far will the same
notion go against the legally free and
equal colored fellow workers in Ken
lucky?
If there be any virtue in the claim
against the convicts because they are
convicts. there cannot be any in their
complaints against the free colored
men whose RIGHT to work is equal to
their own.
The result in either case is exactly
the same. however-the miners lose
their employment whether the new
men be convicts or free colored men.
But how do the Knights of Labor
reconcile their fight against rival
colored labor with their fight against
competing convict labor How can
they make their objection in the latter
case hold in the former?
They cannot do it, and history, past
and current, testifes that while boast
ing of labor maintaining labOr's
rights, they care for nothing but the
supreme. selfishness inculcated by a
propaganda at once dishonest in mo-
tive, interest and result, as well as
dangerous to liberty, society and gov

Last Sunday afternoon Rev. w. w.
Van Arsda,e delighted US with very
impressive sermon upon the 'Neces-
sity of Salvation" his text being Acts
xvi, 30-"What must | do to be
saved p Though familiar to Frost
burg church-goers, particularly the
Methodists, by this time, he was a
stranger to the Grove people, who
were taken up with him very much.
His Introduction by the daily press in
announcing his appointment was as
follows:
Rev. w. w. Van Arsdale has been station
ed at Frostburg since March last this being
the first year of his appointment. He is
winning favor with his congregation by his
genial and pleasant manner, and the zeal
and earnestness in the cause he has taken up.
Though comparatively young IN the minis
try, his natural gifts, trained by assiduous
study and close application, combined with
a pleasing pulpit delivery, win for him
hearing from the most Indifferent of the
average congregation. He was admitted to
the conference in 1876 and was ordained in
Cumberland in 1878. He was stationed at
Mt. Savage about ten or twelve years ago.
The churches of Mt. Savage and Frostburg
will no doubt do him honor on this occasion.
Rev. Mr.. Van Arsdale is occur yiug
the Frostburg cottage and, with his
wife, has as guests, Miss Sallie Wright,
Mrs. J. B. Wright and Miss Lizzie
Williams.

never firing in his work for its ad-
vancement. He is too well known in
this region to need an introduction
rom our pen.
Children's day to-day was duly
celebrated and a well-arranged pro
gram for the enjoyment of the little
ones was carried out by talent on the
ground. Hundreds of springing little

The Homecoming Star thinks the
people got along all right without
official information before the Juvenile
papers of the county were born, be
cause there was then not so many peo-
pie.
This will not answer.
When the JOURNAL was established
there were IS, 900 people in the county
and four papers, the great paper MAX
ing the fifth.
Now there are II 900 people and ten
papers.
So we see that while the population
has gained little over 10 per- cent. the
papers have increased 100 per cent.
In other words, the papers have
multiplied ten times faster than the
population.
Moreover, there was never paper
established in Allegany county in
answer to a popular demand
Nay, more-the JOURNAL is the only
paper ever established in this county
without the expectation or even the
hope of getting the county advertis-
ing.
And still more-the JOURNAL is the
only paper i'll the county that exists
upon the voluntary patronage of the
people it is the only paper, in other
words, whose support is really "un-
drummed.'
Under such circumstances, if the
star can be fairly accounted Il more
''tndependent' paper than the JOURNAL,
the logic of definitions has turned tail
since the last dictionary was printed.

The Coal Trade.

There is nothing new to report of
the bltummouS market, a large
amount OF soft coal is being mined
in the different regions, but very
nearly the entire output is placed
on old yearly contracts. The allot-
ments of the Seaboard soft coal as
ISOLATION do not seem to interfere with
this. We bear of no new business do
ing. Consumers have very good stocks
on hand, the results of the exceedingly
low water frelghts from Norfolk, New
port News, Baltimore and Philadelphia
the lowest ever known. The cause
of the prevailing low freights is at
tributed to the fact that great many
large vessels have been brought recent
ly into use. A few years ago 2,0O0-ton
coal-ships were unknown in the trade.
AS it is now, Il trip in one of these big
ships IS equivalent to three or four
of the smaller craft, formerly in use.
The local market is very quiet, and
prices generally are maintained. No
reports of serious labor difficulties
come from the coal regions Engineer
ing and Mining Jou1nal.
The tariff on bituminous coal has
caused trouble on the Pacific slope.
No anthracite coal, which is admitted
duty free, exists on that coast, certain
mines of British Columbia furnishing
the necessary supply. Now, local
producers claim that bituminous coal
is being imported from British Colum
bia, consigned as anthracite, and have
brought the matter to the attention of
the Secretary of the Treasury.

A Place To Grow Up.

! Some years ago, Horace Greeley s
advice to $50 West, and grow up with
the country" was thought not only a
smart saying, but good counsel. It is
no doubt such still, but it's age counts
against it some, besides which, there
is no longer any unsettled West. The
| West is new, to be sure, but it has
more thriving cities with water-Works,
! electric street cars, eight-story build
ings, and toWn-lot boomers, to the
acre, than any other part of the coun-
try. For the man who has his for
tune to make, the ''New South" OF
the great state of Texas, offer oppor-
tunities not to be surpassed. In de-
velopment, they are really newer coun-
try than the Northwest OF the Pacific
