Death of an Infant.

The following item, taken from the
Fincastle (Va.) Herald of July 30, will
be of Interest to the many friends here
of the afflicted minister:
Mary Evelyn, infant daughter Of Rev. W.
b. and Mrs. Bessie S. Dorsey, died at their
home in Fincastc Saturday evening, July
25th. 1891, of cerebral meningitis, aged &
months and 10 days. She was born January
ID, 1891, was baptised May I'd, and buried in
the Methodist cemetery here July 9th. Rev
DR.. Whisncr, the presiding elder, who bap-
tised the little one, was present at its burial
From the beginning of Its sickness, which
was not over twenty hours duration, there
was but little hope of its recovery, the kind
ness of physicians and friends failing to save
its life. This was very sad death, and while
the bcreaved parents can never become
reconciled to this, their greatest aiiiction, yet
they may derive consolation by knowing
that they have the deepest sympathy of all
our people, to whom they have greatly en-
deared themselves during their short resi-
dence here.

The Coal Trade.

The trade in bltuminous coal has
been dull during the past week, as the
result of the cargo shipments made on
contracts during the past season these
deliveries are now eXerting their legit
innate effect. AT Norfolk, Newport
News, Baltimore and Philadelphia,
vessels are in good supply, orders
scarce and freight rates the lowest
eyer known, 60 cents being quoted
from Philadelphia to Boston. This
can scarcely leave any margin of
profit to vessels. reproduction has
been curtaicd to large degree, CON
sldcrlng the growing use of this fuel,
and the companies maintain prices
with unusual harmony. A general
disposition to stand bv the agreement
Of the Seaboard Association is mani
tested. New York harbor trade is
dull, with very little, if any, new
business doing. -- Engineering and

In some circles belief is expressed
that both the anthracite and bitumi-

Convict Labor,

The wisdom of the following para
graph, copied from the New York
Herald with evident approval by the
Homecoming Recier, is open to ques-
ton
All such laws as that Of Tennessee ought to
be swept from the statute book They are a
wrong as well as a detriment to honest toll.
This refers, of course, to the law
authorizing the lease of the States
convict labor to cOntractorS-a law
designed
l, To prevent penitentary idlcness from
becoming a charge on the State -
., To prevent penitentiary idleness from
dcteriorating into a condition of chronic, con-
tirmed cIssedness, and
3, To prevent penitentiary idleness from as
suning the dimensions and color of pro-
tracted picnic.
These being the objects Of penal and
reformatory institutions, how are con
victs, leased or not, to be given EN-
ployment-how are they to be afford
ed occasion for healthy, moral and
physical industry without competing
with honest labor in some department
Of work
1t cannot be done.
In the Tennessee case the places of
several hundred miners were filled by
a lease of convicts to work the mines
this after the miners, for reasons
evidently satisfactory to themselves,
had given up their employment.
This point, however, will not be dis
cussed here. Suffice it to say, the
miners felt that the lease system had
robbed them of their livelihood.
War is declared against the States
system, and although no blood is shed
the State bends and surrenders to the
demand of class of its citizens.
The convicts are withdrawn; the
Legislature is to be conyened the con-
Wet labor lease law iped out, and a
dangerous precedent established.
A class compels the State to acknowl-
edge that its aims to carry out the
sentences of its courts are wrong ;
that its reformatory methods are dan
gerous, and that the penitentiary pic
mic is blessing to society.
A class forces the State to maintain
its convicts wholly at public expense !!
But how about the other classes the
convicts and the taxpayers
What claim has the convict upon
the taxpayer for support in idlenessg
And what obligation is the taxpayer
under to the convict
These are points that will bear dis
cussion before the surrender of Ten
nessee to the miners is formally COM
summated.

The Truth Not Suppressed.

The Cumberland Times, as a copyist
of that specimen of 'the milk of
human kindness" the Homecoming Star,
wants to make it appear that the JOUR
NAL has done something real bad in ex-
pressing its faith in the wellness of
Hon. Frank Browns dear little boy.
The JOURNALS controversy over this
matter, be it remembered, began with
the Frostburg Ledger, a Brown syco-
plant, which was pleased a few weeks
ago to insinuate that the JOURNALS
illness when the honorable gentleman
was here was feigned.
The JOURNAL repealed the innuendo,
of course, but it had hardly done so
before the Times itself reported that
Mr.. Brown had been called to Europe
to see a son by a cablegram not at all
alarming. The little fellow was sin
no immediate danger, but the doctor
feared he would be-
The whole business, in view of the
approaching convention, Mr.. Browns
assured nomination and his known
inability to accept it in speech worth
hearing, afforded the JOURNAL very
swift opportunity to show the Ledger
how such insinuations may be APP
piled.
In expressing its convictions in the
matter the JOURNAL gave vent to the
judgment of thousands whose Office it
is to say nothing publicly.
That is all there is in this business,
gentlemen.
The STIR and the Times may pump
their gizzards Of all the maudlin salt
water which feeds their retinal nozzles,
but there will be not enough of the
hypocritical fluid to wash out the con"
viction which has obtained deep lodg-
ment in the popular mind.

Made-nOt Born.

That Nestor of Allegany county journalism,
the FRosTBURG JOURNAL, is authority for the
statement that Homecoming man has Bible
1874 years old, and then adds that there is not
much wear and tear on Bibles in Lonacon-
ing. Just what provoked this remark it is
hard to tell, unless it be that the JOURNAL
thinks the editor of the Cumberland Times
Far as known no editor was ever
born in Homecoming.
So that the remark that Bibles are
not DESTROYED by friction in the third
place must be true-unless the wear
and tear idea implies that editors are
thus made down there-not born.
