The Coal MonopolY.

The whole anthracite coal business
is under four powerful railroad cor
porations, (the New York Central or
Vanderbilt system, the Erie, the
Pennsylvania and Delaware and
Hudson). The few men who hold
control of these powerful corpora,
tons are now plotting by reduced
pay and overwork to compel the
men on the Lehigh line, which is
controlled by the Vanderbilts, one of
the four, to go out on a strike so as
to stop production and shipments
and reduce the supply of coal in the
markets. If the plan succeeds the
managers will of course alIege that
the fault lies with the men for
striking and convey to the public,
by inference at least, land through
their big newspapers) that but for
the men who strike the production
would not be limited and prices
would not be raised.
All this proceeding is in violation
of the antitrust law of Congress and
Of the time honored conspiracy laws.
But of what avail is a law if the
executive officers of the government
refuse or neglect to enforce it? The
present Attorney General of the
United States is himself an attorney
and director in Incorporated monop'
oies The official heads of the last
administration were the same. So
long as men will vote such employees
of corporations into Office to ride
over them, how can there be any
moves toward correcting the evils
which corporate monopolies infict

of the laws already ON the statute
books Western Rural.

We wish to apologize to the read
ers of the MIDLAND JOURNAL this
week. for allowing the stuff under the
head of W. G. T. W. to appear as
white ribbon matter. At an earlier
period the w. G. T. U. of this place
asked for space to print matter per
tanning to their order, which we
readily granted, and did not keep
close watch of the copy furnished
and through this carelessness on our
part such matter as appears this
week slipped in. 1t is singular
doctrine to be delivered by a divine
from the pulpit to a congregation
who are exhorted to emulate and
initiate the politicians enthusiasm, -
who everybody knows or should
know, is the embodiment of deep
ton, duplicity, hypocrisy, fraud and
chicanery. The greater part of the
politicians enthusiasm ls drawn from
the grog shop. and his aim is to
inspire in his followers, hate of their
opponents, party blSotfy ana com
5ative spirit, swayed hy prejudice
and not Jealous for truths sake.
The politicians enthusiasm is the
kind found at the cock pit, the horse
race, the prize ring. If they are
going to take lessons from the pol
itician, they will have no use for
bibles and hymn books. The poll
tician laughs in his sleeve at his
dupes while be reaches for the
Doodle. We don't think the cause
of the white ribbons will be advanced
by such "enthusiasm.''
If the politicians methods were
adopted by the church it would not
be long till the saying of one of old
would be apropos: You have made
my fathers house den of thieves.

A Hundred Ton Magazine Order.

A event in periodical literature, not with
out its significance to the generol public as
showing the growth of the reading classes,
was the receipt on the 9th of November by

company for one hundred tons of magazines!
That is almost an event in the history of
the world. A like order has never before
been made, and if past ratios be maintained
it means considerably more than half
million circulation for the December Cos.

and artists in the December number is

nearly two hundred illustrations, to which

Cecil County's Criminal and Insane.

Mr.. Goldsborough S. Griffith, Pre-.
sident of the Maryland Prisoners
Aid Association, recently visited the
Jail, almshouse and insane asylum of
Cecil county and in making his re-
port has the following to say:
"The Jail at Elkton is two story
brick building, with eighteen large
cells, and while it cost considerable
sum, is very defective in having no
separate apartments for the women,
consequently they mingle together in
the corridors with the men. l found
eighteen prisoners there-four white
men. two of whom are insane; eleven
colored men, and one boy, fourteen
years of age, committed for robbing
store; two colored women charged
with petty larceny. One of these
women, with a babe in her arms,
charged with taking three or four
feet of plank from an old wreck lying
on the shore. which, l was informed.
was not worth five cents, has been
in Jail two months, at an expense
of forty five cents per day TO the
county. The other woman, who is
twenty-four or twenty five years of
age and insane, was arrested for
building fire in the woods. She
had been in Jail five months, at a
cost to the county of S67 so. This
treatment to ah unfortunate insane
person 1 consider an outrage upon
humanity. The important question
of what to do with the criminal in.
sane should be carefully considered
by the next legislature. Two insane
white prisoners are in jail-James
Anderson and Charles Riley. Both
are insane and not safe to he at large.
Anderson has been in this Jail the
greater part of twenty years, as it
appears, he can and will escape from
any other place. 1 found the Jail in
a fair sanitary condition. with the
exception Of the cellar, which always
has water in it, and after heavy
rain it is two or three feet deep.
The county almshouse and insane
asylum are located about three miles
from Elkton, on farm of 200 acres
on a high point overlooking beauti.
full country. The almshouse has two
buildings, the inmates are properly
classified and the sanitary condition
excellent, under the efficient manage
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. John Everitt.

and seventeen womeu-a few of
whom we're colored. The insane
asylum is a short distance from the
almshouse proper. 1t is neat three
story building, with thirty.one rooms.

half of whom are men. The asylum

This report contains some state
ments that ought to cause the county
commissioners, circuit court, grand
jury or all of these guardians OF the
public to look into. The report of
the late grand jury contained none of
these ugly facts, but everything was
lovely with the goose hanging high.

KEEP IT MOVING

MEL 1N0s
If you owe dollar pay it and
keep it from getting rusty. Expect
the other fellow to Go the same to
you. Keep the dollar going and it
will roll around the world, do vast
amount of good and may eventually
drop into your pocket again. Pay it
out again and keep it going, It will
feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
warm the cold, and God will approve
of itG blessed mission.
1t will he observed that the dollar
is used as wagon is made to trans
port merchandise from one person to
another, and the much talked of
"irtrinsic value' no where, in all of
its transportation or transferring of
values from one to another round the
world, comes in use at all. 1t is only
when the dollars function of money
is destroyed, and it's legal power to
transfer values from person to person ,
and the metal is used in the arts that
the intrinsic value comes into use.
The paper dollar does the same work
of transferring values year in and
year out until it is worn out and
renewed by a new note. Aud all the
time the law makes the dollar do this
wonderful work which we call trade
and commerce. If we make the metal
doiiaT into spoons, jewelry. etc., its
powers of transferring values ceases
and the metal takes its natuFs! place
among merchandise.

DIsgracefuI Proceedings at n Base ball
Game.

DisgracefuI Proceedings at n Base hall
Game.
There was a game of base ball last Sat
urday between the Weston club and the
home team that ended in disgraceful row.
Two or three weeks ago the BOndville club
went to Weston and won victory over
the Westons that appears to have stirred
up bitter feelings over there. Saturday a
goodly number of the friends of the Yves
ton club came over with the avowed inten-
tion of ''cleaning out the town. We are
credibly informed that such was their
boast before coming. The trouble began
when one Shattuck refused to pay admis-
sion to the grounds. He tried to induce
the Weston club to leave before the game
began, but they finally decided to remain
and the game was played. After it was
over there seems to have been general
row with two or three distinct fights, and
two Weston men, Bryant and Shattuck,
were arrested. Monday they both plead
guilty to the charge of fighting and paid
their fines. Then they entered complaints
against two Bondville men, Chas. Howard
and Albert Benson. Benson claims not to
be guilty of the charge of fighting, but that
he did what he did in self-defence. His
case will be tried next Monday. They
also disclosed on Highland Deane, the
new proprietor of the Morgan House,
claiming to have gotten liquor of him that
caused all the trouble. His case will be
heard on Monday also, if the witnesses
appear against him. The trouble was
mostly outside of the ball clubs, and it is
believed that had Bryant and Shattuck
remained at home there would have been
no disturbance.
