Good Nominations.

The judicial conventions have met
and placed in nomination Hons B. A.
Richmond, republican, and A. H.
Boyd democrat.
Mr.. Richmond is an able lawyer of
twenty years successful practice in the
courts of this county. He is careful,
thorough, aggressive, and never gives
up case while there is shred on
which to hang hope. When he takes
position he does so because he thinks
it right holds to it with the tenacity
of a lifelong convection, and defends
it with a fearlessness no antagonlsm
can awe. A strong partisan in pol
tiles, his friends believe his native
good sense and ripe culture in law will
wholly forbid the intrusion of any ex-
traneous bias on the bench, and that
he will there dispense justice with an
even hand. He is still young, and, if
elected, will take at once no secondary
station in the States judiciary.
DoHC w udl vi dllolllCl y pc VI HAL,
Mr.. Boyd is, however, in no sense IN
ferior to Mr.. Richmond. His record,
a trifle older, is unmarked by single
omission of duty and few, if any,
errors of judgment. He has enjoyed
quite large practice for many years,
and his clientele still stand loyalty by
their representative. All his political
life he has been steadily and mildly con
sistent, no variations as a partisan
marking his career. He is not, there
fore, a partisan in any offensive sense,
and has no ambition as party man.
So strong was his Discrimination to for
sake "the post of honor, private sta
tion,' that he accepted the judgeship
with reluctance, and the nomination
only in pursuance of the step first
taken. Elected, his judicial temper
ament, scholarship and disposition
will make him an ideal minister of
Justice.

80, We of Little Faith"

The Cumberland NepS has little or no
faith in the superior quality of Georges
Creek coal as competing element in
market. 1t asks
Have these journals forgotten how the il
fusion concerning the superiority of Georges
Creek coal over Clearfield was dispelled?
Did we not sneer at the pretensions of Poca-
hontas in its attempt to compete with us in
the markets ofthe east? Why, we have seen
Elk Lick coal drive Georges Creek coal out of
the Cumberland rolling mill upon a question
of price, and whenever the time comes that
Canada coal can enter New England upon
equal terms with Maryland coal the fifty-cent
rate for digging will go, along with the tariff
that has maintained it for so many years.
The JOURNAL is not sure about
Clearfield, but there is an explanation
to make why Pocahontas, Elk Lick
and West Virginia coal, too-have
overreached Georges Greek coal in
market.
The operators Of those regions get many
more pounds per- ton than ours!
In other words, the cost per ton for
digging coal here at the same nominal
price is at least 33b per cent. more than
elsewhere.
Our coal is weighed by law; else
where not
Hence, 1926 ton of coal, for in
stance, will knock out n So ton in mar
ket almost without regard to quality.
Maryland COAL" therefore, has
more dangerous regions to compete
with than Canada-regions where the
tariff, made to protect so cents a ton,
is not doing its duty.
And we may fairly close this article
by asking-if "the tariff has maintain
ed the 5O.cent rate for digging coal for
so many years." why have not the
miners of those regions gotten that rate
as we'll as ours
The answer is-the operators of the
Georges Creek region are the only
ones who give to the miners the full
benefit of the little protection they
have.
Hence, tariff resolutions here should
take about this shape:
Resolved, That the slight bonus gathered
from the consumers of our coal to be scattered
pro rata among our miners is plant of re-
publican origin that should be nurtured and
cherished.
Resolved, That the operating companies of
this county have proven themselves worthy
of our trust as distributors of the pro rata.
Resolved That they be continued where
they are so long as they pay well for our local
system of high protection which gathers in
what they scatter.

No Ground for Fear.

When the manufactured fabrics of Europe
are sold along Georges Creek in open COM
petition with New England made goods, the
cost reproducing the latter must be cheapened,
or the mills must close.-Cumberland News.
But the merchant will enjoy the OPP
portunity oftener of laying his hands
on fabric and saying to his customer
in superlative tone
That's imported
For it came to pass long ago that
whatever is made beyond the Atlantic
is more excellent than the domestic
product.
And generally it is.
For Europe does not export its shoddy
goods.
Nor does any country.
There, as here, shoddy is good
enough for home consumption.
And, if the Ne'cs has observed the
rule, it is only shoddy that is cheap.
Good goods command correspond
ingly good prices everywhere.
The mill owners, therefore. want
foreign wool less taxed, and, like
coal, prefer it free so they can
compete with Europe in both price
and qualty-these goods for ex-
port so they can compete even better
than now with foreign goods on foreign
ground.
Hence, it is to be noticed that there
is no fear in New England of "ciosed
mills" ..
In fact, all smokeless manufacturing
conditions are reserved seemingly for
fireless alarms here in Allegany county.

An Unlimited Quantity.

The Cumberland News speaks of
Senator Hill as ''that great democratic
leader"
This is the same man the New York
Herald represented as bathing his bald
head in PETERS whiskers.
And since that time, for some reason,
PETER has cut off his whiskers.
Well, Hill prophesied gloomy things,
based on the fear that his "party
should and would Immediately set
about revising the tariff" and the Ne,cs
echoes it.
1t is a strange confession for any
man, great or small, to make-that
the welfare Of the country depends
wholly upon the well-being of about
one-seventh of its population.
And that any interference with the
interests of that one seventh will ruin
he'whole business.
If this were a monarchy and the
minority were the royal family, we
could understand the force of such
alarms.
But in "a government of the people
by the people and for the people" we
cannot see how a preferred class OF
one-seventh were ever able to become
the sensorium Of the country.
But so it IS. The manufacturing in
terests, comprising about IA per cent
of the country's productive energy,
and overgrown at that, haye become
able to levy tribute consonant with and
limited by their own sweet will upon the
other sc per cent, largely, too, with the
latter's blind, unthinking, insane,
idiotic concurrence.
Truly, there seems to be no limit to
human gullibility.

An Open Question at Last.

In its weekly review of the coal trade
the Engineering and Mining Journal of
last Saturday records the following i'm
portant information
1t will interest the trade to know that the
Pocahontas coal company has received an
order for cargo of their well known coal to
be shipped to Las Palmas, Canary Islands.
The company has chartered the 4,0OO.ton
steamer Hardwood" An inquiry for a
cargo to be shipped to Cape Town, South
Africa, has also been received by the same
company.
1t is pleasant to record what appears to us
a decided manifestation that the coal export
trade of this country has Il bright future in
store. There is no reason why we should not
ship our coal to many foreign markets. Its
quality is established as unsurpassed, perhaps
we should say unequaled, Tor the record
breaking trips of the ocean greyhounds have
been made with Pocahontas coal.
1t will be noticed that the Journal
does not credit this new custom to the
operations of a tariff whose tendency
is to discourage exports, as the Cum
berland Ne1S did some time ago with
an excess of POO, 900 tons.
But the two reports, taken together,
indicate very significantly that even
though the tariff were removed no
serious harm would befall coal. The
continent and the islands for markets
would be in all probability richer
field of consumption than the little
northeastern corner of the United
States that, whether it buys or sells,
wants everything for nothing.
But if tariff be really indispensable
to the protection of coal, let us have
enough of it. Let the bars be put up,
not only wholly against foreign com
petition but domestic rivalry as well,
for whether we have to compete with
an inferior foreign or a superior
domestic fuel, the effect is the same.
In other words, Pocahontas coal
should be somehow suppressed! 1t
has had the temerity to come into
market and do this region over fifteen
times the damage annually that Nova
Scotia coal does.
And, what is worse, to take from

\ Good Word.

While | do not agree with Mr. w.
r. Percy i'll the method he has taken
to check what he thinks is extrav-
agance, on the part of those who
handle the public money, nevertheless
it is not an action to be ridiculed. or
tiippantly discussed by the local press.
| think Mr.. Percy has erred, not only
in the method, but the occasion. This
board of commissioners has been
saddled with some unfinished business :;
it occupies the embarrassing position
of heir to record not of its making.
Ii has had to meet several extraordin-
AIRY demands; and, take it all into
consideration, these gentlemen of the
board have done well.-E. R. Johnston.

How they Differ,

The following remarkable paragraph
is taken from the recent speech of
Senator Sherman favoring the repeal
of his silver law:
We ought to encourage in every possible
way the expectation of our products, although
| do not precisely see how this can be done.
If any measure can be devised to facilitate
transportation, even by the use of American
vessels, it ought to be done. We ought to
pour the wealth of our country into the laps
of all European countries. | do not precisely
see how we can do it, but the people OF the
United States are an ingenious people, and
they may devise ways and means for meeting
any demand made on our resources by the
countries of Europe or other countries
The Chinese Wall plan has been
tried.
Also reciprocity.
But evidently both have failed, or
the Senator would not make the two
fold confession
l, We ought to, but
., We don't know how.
Another thing has failed-the prac-
tice of our manufacturers paying the
freight to free trade countries and
selling their goods from % to so pc
cent. cheaper over there than to our own
people, compelling the latter to pay
in addition the freight and premium
on the freight.
Workingmen haye often wondered
where the margin provided for them
by the high tariff went, and have
accused the consumers, for whom high
tariff provides nothing, of getting it.
The accusation has considerable
force in it, but proportionately the
American consumer g cts much less of
it than the foreign pauper, whom we
despise economically and love re-
ligiously.
Our main object, however, is to show
Mr.. Sherman that while he is confess
ing that high protection is a failure,
his brethren here in Allegany county
have resolved" that the failure shall
continue.

GENERAL ITEMS.
Declared Gambling.

Judge Moon, of Tennessee, created
a sensation recently by declaring that
progressive euchre was gambling. He
said:
Not only is gambling carried on in regular
gambling resorts, but people of high standing
and responsibility gamble. They may not
put down money, but they set an example
for others in playing for prizes and awards.
In these progressive euchre games these per-
sons play for fine pictures or goldheaded
canes. Examples are set that are a violation
of law, and it is just as demoralizng as COM
mon gambling. A conviction of one man of
the higher class is better as an example, than
the conviction of only ordinary people for
common gambling,
Society folks are excited over the
attitude taken by the judge.-Balti-

BUT THEY DIED GAME,


New HAVEN. Dec. 3.-The members of
the Yale team are all back in their rooms.
among the last to arrive being CAPT Hin
key and Butterworth In their defeat tbe
PLAYERS are not deserted by their collape
friends. for their rooms are crowded with
Yale undergraduates, who are well pleased
with the gallant fight the team made against
Princeton
AS whole. the men are tired out and
sick. Capt. Hinkey Jared the worst of all.
That he was seriously injured cannot he
doubted, but, unlike Waters of Harvard he
played the game through. While Hinkev
refused to discuss his condition after he was
injured, other players say that he was out
of his head during the greater part of the
game, owing to the fearful assault made ON
him in the scrmmagc, which nearly de
prived him of one of his ears.
He denies cmphatically that he was dclir-
ious in New York, as has been re-
ported. He did admit, however. that ne
required attendance. Any excuse offered
now" he said, "wouldappear like crawling.
and that Yale is not doing" Hinkey ac-
knowlcdged Prnccton's superiority.
Players and students acknowledge that
Yale was fairly beaten, but they feel that
the team went into the game overworl<ed. in
fact overturned on account of the severe
struggle of week ago last Saturday.
Butterworth was found in his room at
Lawrence enjoying his first smoke from
well-colored mecaschaum after long months
of denial. His nose is badly battered. but
otherwise he is all right. Butterworth said
that he was not in first class condition when
he entered the game, but does not attribute
Gale's defeat to that. He looks a little
peaked. and so does Adee Murphy. Green
way and Hickok. All hoped that Yale
sand would carry them through but they
overdrew their account a week ago yeste1'-
