Jokes and JOkerS.

The Leigr. which doesn't like jokes
which doesn't like to borrow good
laugh, and cant lend one, thinks the
JOURNAL editor bad because he has
obtained some unearned reputation as
a RETAILER of jokes"
But the Ledger never knew that many
of the best men this country ever pro-
duced reveled in the same retail bust
ness. Webster, Clay, Lincoln, Doug
las-all were capital teller;' of stories,
most of which were of questionable
fragrance, and even James A. Gar

story-teller Of modern times" To-day
Dolliver, Allen, Wolcott and Vance
are quartette hand to beat.
1t is a characteristic of such men
that they are really good-uatured and
generous-qualities which make them
popular with the masses and sought
by other amiable people. They never
call people liars or towards: their vo-
cabula.y. impeachabIe us it may be, is
held far above the uuspeakable gross
ness of such terms.
The JOURNAL will close these re-
marks, written for the benefit of ''the
man who does not laugh" with cur
rent verse:
How dear to the heart are the jokes of our
childhood
When sad recollection presents them to
view;
The musty old jokes that we learned in the
cradle,
And every grim joke that our infancy
knew.
The family jokes and the jokes in the paper,
The jokes that the man in the store used to
tell,
The almanac jokes, and the jokes of the
circus,
And all the old jokes that we all knew so
well
Those hoary old chestnuts, those grizzly old
chestnuts,
Those moss-covered chestnuts that people
will tell.

T.. The old Water Works purchase Act
comprises several propositions for the
people to decide
|, The issue of bonds in the sum of
$4,000 to fund the floating indebted
ness on account Of construction =
,. To abolish the Water Board, and
3, To substitute therefor Superin-

The JOURNAL wants to caution the
agents of the old water works, who
will run the primary, that they must
nominate Water Board also, for in
the event the Act is not ratified, the
current law, and the better law, re-
mains in force.
The agents, self-appoiuted of course,
must provide for all contingencies, for
it would be an awful thing should both

Decrease compared with last year .22l. S33
The latest news from the New York
market is CLEANED as follows:
The soft coal trade has been as dull lis the
anthracite during the past week. 1t is
rumored however, but these rumOrs cannot
be confirmed, that several large contracts
have been made ut last years rates: $3.50 at
Baltimore, 500 at Philadelphia, and S3I5 at
South Amboy. This is Il period Of suspense
among bituminous men.
The contract season, when the coming
years business will be virtually settled is
coming on and the action hoped for from the
Seaboard Steam Coal Association is anxiouslv
awaited. 1t is limited that the various soft
coal roads, the Pennsylvania the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Norfolk and Western will be asked, with
much hope of success, to assist the AsSocia-
ton in keeping up prices by placing various
difficulties in the way of those who have the
temerity to cut rates.
1t is reported that ii has been proposed to
form soft coal trust similar to the anthracite
combination, and that the matter was placed
under the consideration of Drexel Morgan
IL Co., who absolutely refused to enter into
it, 1t was then referred to Philadelphia
capitalists, and, it is said, to the Pennsylvania
railroad, who have the matter still under con-
sderation. One prominent operator in soft
coal said yesterday that while such a COM
bination had been proposed, it would be
absolutely impossible to consummate, as
bituminOus interests were too large and the
coal itself was found in too great abundance,
while the anthracite fields were paratiycy
small and adjacent.

No SnallneSS Here.

The Cumberland independent thinks
Some newspapers in our neighborng towns
seem more or less given to littleneSs.
This, doubtless, refers to the dis
graceful course of the Ledger, for we
cannot think the proud Finan and the
amiable Donnelly include the JOUR-
NAL in their critique.
If so, our readers will bear witness
that the current trouble grew ont of a
question concerning mystery of pitt
lie Importance which could and can be
accounted for in no other way than as
insinuated.
They will also testify that we have
called no names that out of Difference
to polite usages not an epithet has APP
peared in this paper in the course of
this controversy.
SO believing and so acting, we
are fully prepared to give hearty
assent to all the independent says
save the deduction that the basis
Of the trouble was a pricate one.
The issue involved is pubHc one
and we so treated it until the Ledger
eXtorted the other sort of discussion.
The JOURNAL cares nothing for the
Ledger's private affairs, wants to know
nothing of them, ard still less of its
editor, but when they come to bear
upon matter which involves the well
fare of the people, we have no respect
for private affairs, feelings or fortunes.
The INDEPENDENTS remark affords OPP
portunity also for the JOURNAL to as
sure everybody that it does not feel
hurt by anything the Ledgcr has said,
for we are sure that no respectable
acquaintance whose. good opinion is
worth enjoying assents to a word of it,
and the papers own few inspirers can
see that vileness, the last resort of
powerless desperation, is all it can in
dulge.
This is not the first time, however,
that the JOURNAL. has incurred such
villainy in behalf of the good of the
most. 1t may not be the last, for the
conviction Of holding the right view is
sincere and abiding.

The Journal heard Il strange story
in Cumberland the other day
That the prospect for improving the
public roads though bond bill was
hopeless one.
That Senator Pealre and all of the
House delegation were opposed to it,
and one. or more, OF all would decline
to introduce such a bill.
Assuming the statement to be cor
rect, the JOURNAL respectfully informs
the 8 iX gentlemen that they misappre-
bend their functions.
They are not arbiters, nor judges,
nor tlibunes.
They are the representatives of the
people. They are where they are to
give voice to the wish of all. Of many,
a few or one of their constituents. In
fact, their own individuality is lost in
the all-absorbng prerogatlve of pop
ular sovereignty. They are to speak
and vote and act-nOt as they elect,
but as they think the people would.
They appear to have been sohdly in
favor of the schoolhouse bond bill
solidly in favor Of placing the cart be-
fore the horse.
Why! On account Of anything they
had heard from the people on that
subject that had not been worked up

Not word.
The result is--the road question,
overshadowing in Importance all

MINING JOURNAL.
A Pathfinder Answered.


J. Semmcs Deyecmon finds fault
with the JOURNALS comments two
weeks ago upon Hon. Daniel Young
Inflated mining and ventilation bill,
seeming to think that consideration of
a vital requirement Of such monstrosi-
ties was neglected.
Not much in Mr.. Devecmon's COM
plant is there to set straight, for the
matter of ventilation in connection
with the mining law and the fantastic
bills of amendment to which it gives
unreasonable rise is always implicitly
considered and treated.
For there can be no mining without
ventilation.
The fact is, pure air is as much a
deSideratum with operators as with
miners. If the operator wants coal he
will put men where they can work. If
he has no mine, nor working place in
a mine, he wants no work. If he wants
no coal he is not likely to hire miners
at all.
SO that the whole business is BADLY
absurd.
But miners have been so long fed by
master workmen, sprinting delegates,
politicians, office seekers, demagogues,
labor papers and other species of agi-
tators on the notion that coal mining
is a business that ought to be carried
on by people who do not own the prop
erty that they have come to feel that
the supreme object of the business is to
provide them with comfortable and
profitable work.
But it ought to be learned, even by
some lawyers, that no mine-owner
is under any more equitable or moral
obligation to provide a miner with
ventilation than he is under bonds to
furnish him with work.
He is bound by no consideration. no
matter how little humane. to go far
ther than he esteems his self interest
permits.
So that if the owners Of Georges
Creek coal property were as unbusi-
ness-like and heartless as the miners
biennial essay to get pure air implies,
the region would be a bowling desert.
They would no more get out the coal
they do without the consideration, care
and expense incurred and shown than
j. Semmes Devecmon can enjoy big
office practice exclusively out of doors.

That is, speaking strictly for Ale

eating bonded debt for either pur-

1t is Il pity that two such public
wants should come in competition with
each other.
But as they do, the JOURNAL regards
roads as slightly the greater. schools
the lesser.
Especially so as the proceeds in the
latter case are to be spent by an Of
fetal coterie absolutely unanswerable
to the people for the time, place, man
ner and place of outlay.
The JOURNAL. it is repeated, refers
to the issue as it is presented in Allie

And its choice Is supported by
lessons CLEANED from the history of
those communities where good roads
are the rule. Education, like other
