Col. J. Benson Oder, 1.-The Philosopher of
the Great Savage and editor of the JOURNAL,
is still bringing the weight of his metaphysical
intellect to bear upon the coal question:
timore Netcs.
When coal, if ever, is made free of
duty, the Neps will see that Baltimore
will be no sharer in whatever advant-
age may be derived therefrom.
Free coal is proposal on the
part of its projectors which will
rebound to the distinct benefit of
New England. More than any other
endowment it will confirm to that
small section forever its prestige and
supremacy as the head and heart of
the manufacturing interests of the
country.
Free coal means that the grim
prophecy of Maryland's most scholarly
and eloquent governor, Enoch Louis
Lowe, cannot be fulfilled. Smarting
under Puritan intolerance and Yankee
arrogance, he said ''the day will surely
come when New England, stripped Of
her power and pride, will sit on her
barren rocks and gnaw her voorhees,
fingers."
Mr.. Lowe expected manufacturing
development to gravitate fuelward-
some of it to lodge and take root in
Baltimore.
But his less wise successors-th
Rayner and the Rusk, for instance,
voted for New England and against
Baltimore; voted for Nova Scotia and
against their own State coal.
This is the sort of suicide which,
built like the boys frog -sticker-'if 1t
does not kill agoin' 1t is bound to do
the job comin'n

The little old man smiled at this and
was disposed TO he friendly, but Miss
Virginia was so displeased with his tone
concerning the ''Autocrat that she met
him with chilly indifference.
