POIITICAII.


Editor .Nt"S'
| wish to make a few sugges-
tions to our republican friends IN
regard to the nomination of members
Of the House of Delegates. 1t has
been generally observed by the citizens
Of our county, that we send to the
Legislature the weakest represent
atives of almost any county in the
State-reaIIy of both parties-that is
generally speaking. The cause of this
is through the indifference to whom Is
intrusted the making of the ticket
There seems to be Il general desire III
the conventions to overshadow every
other Office by making Il fight for one
or two to the detrimcnt of the balance
of the ticket The Sheritralty and one
or two of the other molc lucrative Of
fees is made the bone of contention,
and everything is centred upon them
in the fight for the nomination, and
the balance of the ticket is left without
any consideration as to It's makeup.
How foolish it seems to select per-
sons for our lawmakers who haye not
the least conception of what law is and
do not know the first rudlmentS OF law.
They are expected to undo what has
been done bv men who have made the
statutes a study, and do this without
any previous knowledge of what the
law is. 1t seems to me there is no
more important office than legislator.
The word itself signifies enough to
call forth the very best men that can
be found to be placed upon the ticket
for these offices. If any of our older
citizens will refer back few years
they can well remember that our best
and most intelligent men were select
ed to represent us. If anyone having
occasion to visit Annapolis during the
session of the Legislature they will
even find now that the lower counties
send their very best citizens as le9ls-
lators, and indeed they seem to take II
pride in having their counties repre-
scented bp men of brains. 1t is Il
source OF pleasure for their people to
visit the capital of the State and point
with pride to the distinguished gentle
men who are their representatives.
This matter is il very grave one and
ought to receive the attention of our
noitical men who make up the tickets
our poiitical conventions. Not select
so and so simply because he is y gooa
fellow and one Of the boys, but make
intelligence and fitness the standard.
! trust my few suggestions may re
ceive some attention from our next
convention. AN OBSERVER,
Cumberland Neos.

glistening i'll the moonlight; she pick
ed it up, and looking into its depths,
she saw picture Of her childhood's
home.
Into her hardened eyes came tears,
and each tear held face, the mother
face, the father face, faces of loved
ones long dead. And out of her heart
she said to the lily:
"Oh lily, thou art so far, so pure.
| knew you long ago in my country
home have you message for a sinner
like me p
And the -tongued lily seemed
to sing to her:
"Oh weary one, the Christ of the
lilies is your Christ. sing to you of
rest and peace at home"
And kissing the lily, the beggar
slept in rags upon the cellar floor and
dreamed of home.
In the morning they found there a
broken, faded lily.
In the morning they found there a
dead girl, with a smile upon her face.
Her dust fell into the earth.
And from the earth an angel joined
the lily host Of God.

That Serious Mistake.

FRosTURG, MD, Aug. 81 1891
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Mr.. Haverstick's article, which APP
peared in the JOURNAL of last week,
shows quite conclusivly that he would
like the public to believe that the
other two members of the Water Board
are responsible for all the trouble that
we are having with the reservoir.
1t is true that Mr.. Haverstick did
not turn the muddy water into the
pipes, which occurred one-half day,
and it is also true that he did not have
anything to do directly which would
make him responsible for the shortage
of water when the pipes were being
allowed to empty themselves so as to
get rid of the muddy water that had
gotten into them by accident.
But let us go back little further and
examine into the history of the con
struction of the reservoir, and then
the public will he able to Judge
whether or not Mr.. Haverstick is re-
still! exists.
Before the masons began to lay the
bottom of the main wall. | insisted
upon more extensive excavation
but Mr.. Hayerstlck, with his en-.
gineering shoes on, declared that il
would be Only money wasted to 90 any
deeper or wider, and he ordered Mr..
Henry Williams to start his wall on a
wet gravel foundation, and it is under
this part Of the wall the water has been
running through from time to time.
Still Mr. HayeYstick would like for
someone else to shoulder all the blame
after the work had been done by his
orders and not according to the mason's
judgment.
We spent about $500 last spring to
concrete according TO Mr.. Haverstick':
plan and then, | am told, he went be.
fore the Mayor anG Council and guar
anteed the reservoir to hold for one
year. But it was only few days be-
fore the water was running through
in sufficient quantity to drive good
sized mill.

So that Alliance judge who had never read
law and was hauled up before the Supreme
Bench of the State for contempt was not so
green, after all. He sustained his action by
pointing out statute on the books that the

there" and they continued the case. Now

The Coal Trade.

The general conditions which prevail
in this market are much the same as
they have been during the past month
or two. The downward tendency of
ocean frcightS has brought about a
condition of affairs that has never been
duplicated in the history of the trade.
Charters have been made from both
Baltimore and Philadelphia to Boston
at soc, when prompt loading and dis
charge have been guaranteed, and at
the present moment it would not be
safe to say that the lowest point has
been reached.
We learn of some vessels tying up,
and all of them hoping that next
month will bring about Il change
through the diversion of large pro-
portion of tonnage to the South and
have been the prominent factor in this
business for many weeks, and as long
as they continue they will inevitably
exercise Il controlling influence uron
it.
Deliveries Of coal upon contracts
have been quite large during the past
week. New business has been small.
Baltimore shipments have been ham
pered by insufficient ear service, but
Philadelphia has been free from this
annoyance.
Prices of best coal are as follows
Free on board at Norfolk, Newport
News and Baltimore, - 80: Phila-
delphia, s.. South Amboy, %3.l5.
The most competent observers are
practically unanimous in their belief
that the coming fall will see prices
well maintained and the demand equal
to that of any previous season. The
railroads will necessarily increase
their purchases and the great majority
of consumers and dealers carrying no
large stock will certainly appear in the
market in due course. One of the
conditions affecting the trade is the
inferior variety of bltuminOuS coal
which is often overlooked. We refer
to the danger Of holding such coal in
large quantity for any length of time.
Bearing this in mind it is entirely safe
to say that a grc;rt deal of coal is still
to be moved this season. Engineering

"Thc Highest Law"

The Journal has only time enough
left to quote the following very hazy
paragraph from a very foggy editorial
in yesterdays Homecoming Refer:
The scum of might makes right that may
have kept him in darkness is cleared away
by the grinding of the dust scattered by the
JouhNAL, !and he now reads for himself-"the
highest law is the law of right"
What is ''thc law of right p
In Utah it is polygamy.
In Cumberland monogamy.
In the South Sea Islands both.
But just exactly what it is, measured
by the Rerio,e's standard of morality,
no man hath told.
And it is to be doubted whether the
Recier itself, Judging from the editorial
from which we quote, enjoys clear
notion of what it calls 1.-THE law of
right"

Out beneath the golden stars the

The National Road.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Do you remember in those days of happy
long ago,
When progress i'll its onward march was
comfortably slow,
How, jumbled in jolly crowd in wagon or
III sleigh,
We rode down to Cumberland in the good old
fashioned way?
DO you remember when the summer sun
was going down,
How mcrrily we left behind the high and
dusty town?
While all the charms of Nature seemed to
beckon us and say:
Come on down to Cumberland in the good
od-tashioned way !"
No rumble of railway train, nor locomotives
Shrll Shrek
No noise of paper mill disturbed the music of
the creek;
No screech of electric lines drowned the chat
ter of the jay
As we rode down to Cumberland in the good
old.tashioned way.
How grateful was the perfume of the clover
in those days
And how the red fields stretched far away
before the gaze
The heads of corn would nod as if they recog-
nizcd old friends,
And every breeze would laugh as one who
comprehcnds.
And when we reached the shaded road how
proper we became;
The girls assumed a formal air, the boys, Of
course, the same;
And as we bent to claim the toll, the impost
of the true,
The roses in ourswecthcarts' cheeks took on a
deeper hue.
What fcasts the darkics at Clarysville would
prepare
What visions of fried chicken would arise to
greet us there,
What corn bread and what buttcrmilN no
more of this, pray
Such subjects are too sacred for scotters of to-
day.
DO YOU remember how we turned the tavern
inside out,
And how the hamlet wondered what the
noise was all about;
While to the dance our minds were so in

We never stopped to notice that the whole
place was Just outside?

Lighting wood and glen,
1t found us Jogging gleefuly up the old road

And long we sang and laughed with many
an ancient song and jest,
For old songs are the sweetest songs as old
times arc the best.
Within the shaded road were hushed the song
and laughter loud
The moon precipitately fled behind a friend

And just before she could appropriately re-
appear
A very Old old story found small, attentive

youth,
Is there not one to speak for us the evidence
of truth
Is there no thought of that old pike, the red
fields of clover,
The incense of uew-mown hay and the road
shaded over?
All, one indeed for she who rests her arm
upon my chair,
With Just the faintest touch of time upon her
face and hair,
Is smiling now in happy recollection of the
day

Mr. Haverstick has the courage to
say great deal through the press and
on the street corners, but don't think
the public ought to believe all he says
before giving the matter Il little III

Very strange that Mr.. Haverstick
is making such a fuss just now be
cause his judgment doesn't correspond

Friends Ofthc Convict.

Friends of the Convict.
Mr.. McCardclI explains the remote
causes of the Briccvile (Tcnn.) strike,
and his statement is doubtless true.
The JOURNAL obtained its informal
ton concerning the immediate oc-
casion from the New York SIM.
But so far as we are concerned
causes are not so much in issue as
principles
|, The State has Il number Of con
Wet prisoners expressly and implicitly
sentenced by the courts to hard labor.
,, The custodians Of these prisoners,
in the discharge of their duty, are
bound to provide employment for
them, and they find it in the mines,
The miners contend that in their in
terest these conditions must be over
thrown.
'What the Legislature will do" in
determining the Issue thus make up,
Mr.. McCardell remains to be
seen.
But it is plain that if that body
.'repeals the law authorizing the en-
ployment of convicts in TIE mines,
it can prevent their employment i'll
any other department of self-support.
1t can set aside every sentence of
the States courts and convert penal
servitude into seductive system of
legaized idleness,
What is thus allowed one class can
be allowed all others Scrintim. and, with
all equally protected from the rivalry
of convict labor, nobody will be
happier than the convicts.
For the classes will be playing right
into their hands the classes, the
honest, respectable, free labor classes will
be the convicts' best friends.
Indeed, it will pay far better to
be a convict without work than a
free man with work.
THE servant" it is said, "cannot
be above his MASTER" ipturally
speaking, but it is just possible that
the master may rate himself too low
and get underneath.
The rod sometimes changes hands,
and chastisement is never so bitter a.
when we have furnished, not only the
cause, but the means for our owl
lamming.

TaNpaNprS Not In Ii.

The Cumberland NenS thinks it quite
improbable that Senator German will
be candidate for the presidency, and,
among other reasons, gives this:
The people ofthe country should know all
about German, the democratic ring and the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal business, then
they would understand why German has no
chance for the honor ofleading the American
people and why the taxpayers of Maryland
would not indorse him.
The trouble with that statement is
''the taxpayers of Maryland" have
nothing to do with the matter.
That is, if the voiceless taxpayers of
Allegany county are a fair sample of
the whole lot.
The men who do the business for
Mr.. Golman are either in Office by his
appointment ci0 Gov. jackson. or they
are democratic committecmcn-in both
cases elected and kept in position
under the current system of minority
control.
Sometimes these gentlemen are both
public and party officials, and as
such, self-dedicated to the work Of
pcrpetuating and strengthening the
schedule which keeps them on top and
the people underneath.
Had ''thc taxpayers of Maryland'
enjoyed the power to "cndorse" Mr..
German. it is safe to express y doubt
whether Mr.. German would be Il
known quantity in politics to-day.
Outside of one county he has never
dared to run for a popularity elective
office.
Nothing could induce him to run
for governor
He will "chance it. only where he
has comparative few to deal with.
so it is always with minority rulers.
And so it will be as long as 80
politicians can outvote 81 repre-
SpntatiVcS of the people.
