Hence, the vital question--why
should our miners surrender their
superior means and resources of live
ihood in order to conform to some
scheme which, starting in the West
and getting foothold in Clearfeld, is
designed to injure the miners of this
region most of all
The JOURNAL has not time this week
to elaborate this question as it de-
serves, but it hopes
l, That no real miner of this region
will attend the Cumberland confer
ence, Or
2, If he does, he will go there as a
bold, brave, immovable defender of
our policy to retain all the advantages
with which God and nature have en-
dowed the greatest and best coal re.
zion in the world.

Somewhat Matter of Appearances.

The Council, it seems, refers all
sorts of questions to the attorney.
Essentially the towns legal adviser,
he is presumed to be also equally high
authority on finance, morals, public
policy and municipal good looks.
The latest problem submitted to him
was whether the town could be invest
ed with the power to compel its pris-
oners to work out their penalties on
the streets in default of payment.
The attorney is reported as having
characterized such recourse as Char
barous."
Why it is "barbarous" is not stated,
but it is suspected that it is a senti-
mental offshoot from the very strange
repugnance which guiltless people
manifest toward punishment which,
in the nature of things, never reaches
the law-abiding classes.
We say STRANGE" because we cam
not conceive how people who know
the value of peace and good order as
conservators of property and life can
entertain notions which compromise, if
they do not imperil society's best and
dearest interests.
In the case before us two young
scapegraces within one month have
cost the town over $l6in arrests, fines,
etc. Under tne current system of
penal rarefaction the outcome is made
pleasant and recreative for the young
gentlemen instead of irksome and
laborious. They defy the town to
make them pay, and the town knuckles
and stands the puni shment itself.
The councilman who suggested the
inquiry no doubt thought the town was
occupying a humiliating attitude in
the premises. 1t did not occur to him
perhaps that times have changed and
are still changing; that changeless
change is written all over the face of
materialism, and that progress to-
ward ultimate volatility is sure and
steadfast that, while once it was their
majesty, the people, it is fast becom-
ing his worship, the prisoner. 1t did
not occur to him that those laws and
people who We're once decent are now
vulgar.
But he has learned that penalties
once deemed commensurate with crime
are now "barbarities."
Friends and brethren, we stand too
much on looks. We travel too much
on our shape. Some day, after so
much care of our tout ensemble-after so
much cosmetic treatment of our munic-
ipal complexion, we will have to
lynch somebody whom we have lured
to his death by namby-pamby policy
of concession to his dangerous foibles.
We will then have merged all our
contempt of 'barbarities'' into one
browning disgrace.

Mine on Fire.

Some alarm was created Wednes-
day by report that the interior of
Hoffman mine had canght fire from
locomotive sparks, and the well known
superior ventilation of the mine for
awhile stimulated the fear that with
so much air the fire would obtain
dangerous Roadway. With consider
able exertion, however, the fire was
extinguished before serious damage
WAS done.

In the Matterof Hogs.

The Cumberland Neacs of yesterday
morning reports "a hog case" in a
magistrates court, and says
1t was shown that the city was to blame
for allowing hogs to run at large in violation
of city ordinance. The Squire reserved his
decision.
But the Ne,cs added
The hog must go.
And now it is question whether the
Nescs' decree is broad enough to take
in the people who want schoolhouses
at Homecoming.
