No Time for Foolish Experiments.

LoNACoNING, July ID, 1892.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In politics as in experimental re-
igion it requires incessant pounding
to lodge in the minds of men and
sinners the lines of action. 1t needs
line upon line and precept upon pre-
cept.
So must beg you to allow me to
say that Mr.. Wellington carried this
county by 80 majority; Washington
by 40; Frederick by 249; reduced
Montgomery to 245 Garrett by It's,
and got the district by 1900.
Now, ! would respectfully ask the
good republican readers of the JOUR-
NAL if these figures do not constitute
a reasonable ground for nominating
Wellington, no matter what causes
there may be for dissatisfaction on
other considerations within the party.
The question is very simple one, not
of likes and dislikes, not of those who
hold down Offices and those who would
like to, but if the great, cardinal. far
reaching, national one of being repre-
sented by a republican in Congress.
| hold and maintain, and appeal
to all practical politicians and sound
thinkers who are loyal republicans as
to the correctness of my posltion-that
there is really only one point to be
steadily held in view and that is this ::
Who of the two competitors for the
nomination is likely to poll, judged by
hard facts and figures, the largest vote
in this county and in the residue Of
the district
1t certainly is Wellington.
The large majority of 1900 by which
he carried the district in 1889 cannot
be explained away or detracted from
by the assertion that it was "compli-
mentary," for only men strong within
the party and out of it get such heavy
complimentary votes.
think, in all seriousness, without the
slightest tlncture of personal feeling in
the matter that the nomination of Col.
Pearre would be dangerous expert
ment. / will not roughly press home
the fact of his majority of 439, nor
dilate upon how that vote might
possibly be explained on the ground
that perhaps IL number of republicans
were disposed then to commend to his
lips the poisoned chalice of his cut of
Hoffman and Richmond in 1883. To
do that you'd be unkind-in fact, al
most cruel, and |, for my part, admire
moderation and RESPONSIVENESS ~ the
most heated political discussions.
Foregoing all that, we are still in the
dark as to how Col, Pearre would run
below, where | believe, no has scarcely
at all been heard on the stump and
where he is an unknown quantity.
We do know that Wellington has shown
great strength down there.

Comes Home at Last.

The familiar talk of arbitration
comes along regularly as the after
math of the sporadic strike.
But who will make DEGREES of the
findings of arbitration and enforce
them
For there is nothing in law, nor the
resources of constitutional force to
make men work.
Even the higher laws of the Anal
gamated Union of the Federated No
bility of North American Knighthood,
while they appear to have power
enough to compel men to quit work,
they have none to make them 60 to
work.
Whence, then, shall arbitration de-
rive coercive efficacy?
Nowhere.
All it can do at last is to fall back
and await the sure coming of that
lesson in every idle workingman's life,
which, when it reached erring Adam,
took the form of decree which runs
coeval with the race
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread.
In other words, every man shall
eventually be his own Knight of
Labor.
And there is not here. or in Home
stead, or anywhere, any possible con
dtion of inveterate idleness available
to a neversweat.

A Squleal.

"Miner" in the Homecoming Star,
affects % to write from Homecoming,
and CO to think the JOURNAL as an
Individual
is more to blame for the present dullness
of our coal trade than any other man in the
county, etc.
The JOURNAL bushes at the honor
thus conferred.
Yet it is glad.
For "Miner's" confession confirms
the impression that the JOURNAL has
paid off at least part of the debt it
owes the Knights of Labor for the in
effable perfidy which characterized the
Individual and collective conduct of
the members of that organization in
1888.
And the balance will be paid in in
stalments as often as this so-called
Miner" and such as he make
demand.
Perhaps we will stop the interest on
a part of the principal next week.

One OF Mr.. Carnegie's agents says:
There are men working in these mills who
come down to work ia their carriages and
have them call for them at the expiration of
their shifts.

How il Looks Abroad.

A letter from nonresident parties
owning property here was received a
few days ago. 1t says in part:
We have received corporation tax bills.
The rate is way up in e.. They assess prop
erty out of sight; then they fix rate at the
highest limit. Just think of 1.-THE house
and lots occupied by - assessed at $3.50!
There's not an assessor would give near that
sum for it. Great people. Great heads ,
Great taxes Great water works Great idea
of buying the old ones in fact everything
and everybody IN Frostburg seem to be greater
than ever
Very truly,
See our plan for rectifying the
trouble described, and then send in
your bill for taxes paid in error "
TAKES Paid in Error"
That was pretty wide door Council
swung open Monday evening.
Moreover, it was a straight tip to
everybody to become dissatisfied with
his assessment and then come to Coun-
Gil with bill r taxes paid in error"
AS scheme to escape taxation, it is
one likely to be abused.
And as a precedent, it is one likely
to give the Council trouble the year
round.
AS a rule, it is likely to become
applicable 10 a comparative few and
thus inequitable to a ma jority.
And as a means Of reaching uni
formity, it is most likely to establish
the grossest inequalities.
AS an expedient for "whipping the
devil around the stump" it nullities
the purpose and effect of an appeal
session. makes indefinite the towns
income and affords Council an occasion
of "deathbed repentance twelve times
ayear.

said there was no possibe CHANCES s of her I V

telegraphed for from Rochester to come and
see her die. At this critical moment an
agent selling DR.. Hale's Household Ointment
called at the house and told them the lady
need not die at that time if she would follow
his directions. He was so earnest and posi-
tive that the family concluded to try the new
remedy and began applying it at once to the
region about the heart; the pain soon ceased
and Mrs. Carswell rapidly recovered and is
alive and well to-day, and she and all her

Blind Labor.

termlnlnS rates or wages mas Deen one
of the favorite proposed solutions Of
the so-called labor problem with al
legged workingmen.
But it seems to work satisfactorily
only so long as wages increase under
its operation.
At Homestead, for instance, the
workingmen contracted the notion
that the new scale submitted by the
Carnegie company would reduce
wages.
So they would not work would not
permit others to work, and, to cap the
climax, took possession of the COM
pany's property.
1t seems the scale was based on $25
per ton as the minimum price for steel,
whence of course, wages were in
creased as the price went above that
figure. At one time the price was
$37 80, out of which enormous wages
were paid. But fall set in until
during the latter part of May the price
fell to 500 25 and remained at about
that figure all of June, the company,
however, paying wages on the $25
basis.
Then the company proposed to re-
duce the minimum from $50 to 81.
A conference was held. The company
receded from the 500 and made it $23.
But the men would be satisfied with
nothing less than $24.
During the time the old scale was
operative the company threw out a
vast mass of old machinery and intro
duced new. thereby enormously in
creasing the productive capacity OF
the works, so that the increased ton
mage actually resulted in more wages
than under the old scale-an advance
of 81 per cent. in one department, 81 in
the next, and Is in the third.
Moreover, the new machinery
wrought a shortage of hours from II
to 8, so that the man, for instance,
who got 1891 for II hours, under the
improved system was to be given SO. 40,
or at the least $500 for s hours work.
The entire force manning an open
hearth furnace-eight in all, got be-
fore $24.S0 for - hours; under the
new machinery regime $23.O7 for S
hours, or 10 cents more per hour per
man.
These are the facts as plainly as they
can be stated.
They show that while the company
may have erred in handling the delicate
issues involved, the workingmen were
grossly at fault at almost every step.
Or their blind leaders leading the
blind, as usual got themselves and their
whole Amalgamated outfit tumbled
into the ditch.
This Beats All!
The Western Union telegraph COM
pany wanted to replace the present
double line of short posts in town with
single line 45 feet high, neatly finish
ed and painted.
But Council stopped the company at
the east end with the command that
the new line should not come up Main
street.
The companys representative was
amazed at such stupidity.
But he communicated with head
quarters, and the answer came back
to this effect:
Let Frostburg go!
And so the new poles are to be
shipped elsewhere and the present
double row of unsightly uprights is to
remain a twofold eyesore on Main
street.
This is one of the most shortsighted
and idiotic blunders ever committed
by a majority of a corporate body in
the history of this town.
1t is stark, staring, overpowering
wonder that the foolkiller is not here
at work with an impartial fail.
A Squeal.

Musical.

The event of the season Will be the
twelfth annual concert of the Water
town chorus, under the direction of g.
S. Hawley, at Concordia Opera house,
next month.
The chorus is composed of the prin-
cipal singers Of the city, and will not
fail to maintain their we'll earned repu-
tation for efficiency, in the performance
of the many classic works of the mas
tiers, given in past years. The work
under rehearsal, Mendelssohn's ora
torio, Hymn of Praise" is one of the
standard musical compositions of the
world, and cannot fail to please all
lovers of good music. The services of
Richard Thomas, the ablest of Milwau-
KEGS tenors, Miss Antoinette Abel,
soprano, and Mrs. w. w. Jones, con-
tralto, both of Madison, have been Sc
cured for the occasion. 1t is among the
probabilities that Haydn's great ora
torio of the Creation" the masterpiece
OF oratorios, will be taken up for re-
hearsal Immediately after the February
concert, and given with orchestra early
in June
