Ice In tho Harbor rhis Month.

Who would imagine that there had been
enought ice in the harbor as yet to damage
yacht at her moorings. but such has been
the.case. During those cold days recently
the ice would form to considerable thick
ness over the shallow water on the Care
shore, and would then be swept down with
the out going tide. A yacht that had been
left at her moorings was continually scIaped
on the bows by the sharp edges--of the ice,
and burrows were worn in the wood three
Fights of an inch deep.
Several years ago. fishing boats in that
same locality was sunk by the ice, later in
the season. holes being worn in the sides.

This Will Not Down

Such organs, miners of the region are
nothing more than wolves in sleeps cloth
ing" kept up and fostered by the coal COM
panles to attempt to mislead you. but for
tunately they have not succeeded, and we
don't believe they eyer wlll.-Lonaconing
Re"ie~.
Since the foregoing paragraph first
appeared the aspiring apostle of So
called labor has denied that it likened
miners to sheep, but the JOURNAL has
shown that the Recie,c cannot do that
without also denying that it intended
to call ''such organs * wolves
in sleeps clothing.'
The JOURNAL has res ented this I'M
parchment of its integrity by showing
miners the estimate of their inteli-
gence as fixed by a paper that assumes
to be their shepherd, and we now ask
them
|, Whether a paper that ikens them
to sheep-that must appeal to their
instincts. habits and intelligence as
sheep, is desirable organ -
,, Whether a paper that has never
been able so say a solitary word of
argument in their behalf as claimants
to retained tariff protection is worth
anything as Moses in the wilderness
of labor agitation
), And if miners are 50 weak
that it is by the skin of their teeth
they can resist ''"ttempts to mislead
them" where did the Recie,c get its
suddenly acquired gumption to keep
them in the narrow path that leads to
the promised land of no work and no
wages!
+, Moreover, if the Recien admits
that organising Is necessarily kept up
and fostered' by the interest sub
served, has the Rerien shown itself
able to complete its part Of the con
tract with Its sheep!
), If rot, has not the miners penny
proven a dear price for whistle
The JOURNAL asks these questions
that miners may try the Recie~ by the
same standard under which that paper
impeached the JOURNAL.

InIhe WAY of Definition

Organization" is the word, and the
JOURNAL will give its latest sig
niticance.
1t means Il sort of miScegepati0n-a
mixture of the difficulties of block coal
mining in Indiana, powder-mining in
Ohio. low coal mining in Clearfeld,
gases and fire damp here and there,
with comparatively pleasant conditions
on Georges Creek.
1t means, to put all coal owners i'll II
sack and shake them up-those who
squeeze wages down with and without
excuse, with those who meet their
men when proposing reductions and
send them word when they can raise
wages-and then thrash the lump in
the sack.
Organization would be a good
thing had all mining regions the same
methods, qualities of coal and trade
competition.
But why should Georges Creek
miners, whose coal does not meet H.
linois coal anywhere on equal terms,
strike because somebody south or
north of Lake Michigan imposes upon
Illinois miners
And why chasten Georges Creek
owners of coal for wage squeezes in
Ohio?
Real reorganization between all
sorts of miners everywhere is about as
feasible and will be about as effective
as a ira lie league between blacksmiths
in Frostburg and boiler-makers in
Chinatown, Cal.
And with our quality Of coal, the
comparative ease of mining it. and
the considerate treatment accorded
employees, there is all to lose and
nothing to gain in merging our advant-
ages into the disadvantages of other
regions.

That Old Jade-"Society."

The Westminster MIDI Adrocate very
APPLY contends that Judge Bradley, be-
fore whom the Pollard Breckinridge
suit was tried
is little too exalted, too refined and too
pure to mingle with ordinary humanity.
Before such a judge as Bradley it
was impossible for Breckenridge to
obtain fair trial.
The press, too-apparently taking
its cue from Bradley's animus, dis
graced itself by daily and weekly
prejudgments of the defendants side
of the case. 1t became the fashion to
''howl down. Breckenridge, and Tray,
Blanche and Sweetheart in all quarters
joined in the yelp.
The trial and a Ia mote condemna-
ton of Breckenridge furnished an in
stance of national dimensions that
Pharisaism still fourishes in full force
and virtue. C) Men still deceive
themselves with the pretension that
they can keep their hearts clean by
washing their hands and pairing their
fnger-nails.
But they can do so no more effectual-
ly now than when Christ called such
people ''hypocrites" and denounced
the generation of that day as
''vipers.'
Thousands of men who haye openly
condemned Breckenridge have secret
ly but no less certainly damned them
selves. And these are the lineal de-
scendants of those who in that elder
day upon the street-corners thanked
God that they had not been caught as
other men had been.
About the most honest parties CON
nected with the case were Brecken-
ridge and Thompson.
The former made a clean breast of
the whole business, condoning nothing
he had done.
The latter let the light into the life
and habits of the average christian
statesman-a revelation which society,
with characteristic loyalty to its heroes,
dlsrelishes as "a tale told out of
school,"
He did not spare The Scarlet Let
ter" but with the remorselessness of u
Puritan pinned it where conscience
at least can see and quake under the
fear that the public may also suspect
and at last discover it.
Had Thompson lived in Noah's
time society would have condemned
his candor just as it does now.
Hence, as the arbiter of propriety
where its own virtue is on trial, So
ciety does not and cannot hold the
scales of justice with equal poise,

PC OBLIGATIONS.
The Top Notch Reached


The top notch of enterprise and liberality
has been reached by the Pittsburg Times,
which announces that every one Of its sixty
thousand subscribers, and all who will
become regular readers before Saturday,
May 18th, will be presented with the
First Part of the most remarkable Art
Portfolio of the year. The work referred
to is Frank Leslie Scenes and Portraits Of
the Civil War" which will furnish a COM
pete and authentic history of the conflict
between the States in pictures drawn on the
spot and in descriptive prose. The First part
will be delivered free to all readers of the
Pittsburg Times in exchange for the first six
coupons, and the other twenty nine parts will
be furnished in exchange for six coupons
clipped from the Times and ten cents for each
part.
There will be thirty parts, twenty SIX of
which will be devoted to illustrations and
four to reading matter. Each of the first
twenty-sx parts will contain sixteen illustra
tons, making total of four hundred and SIX
teen in the complete volume. Short descrip-
tons will accompany the pictures i'll each
part. The pictures were made on the scene
of battle by the most famous artist OF
the time, and cali therefore be relied
upon as absolutely accurate. The work will
be a supplement to every written history,
portraying as it does the striking incidents of
battle and giving the lkenesses of the leaders
whose names We're on every lip in the days
of strife. Here the veterans will find the
past recalled, and here the young may gam
inspiration to emulate their patriotism and
devotion.
The Pittsburg Times deserves thanks for
placing this splendid history within the
reach of the people at nominal cost, and its
proposed free distribution of the First Part
to all its readers is generosity without Il
parallel. Ifyou are not reader of the Times,
order 1t from your news agent at once. If
there is no agent for the Times in your local
ity, write to the Times, Pittsburg, Pa, for
terms to clubs and agents.

He is ina Hurry,

The most serious trouble encountered
in retaining the tariff on coal is in vast
sectional differences of conditions.
In interior consumption the tariff
does not count on the seacoast it does.
Papers like the Baltimore SIN, who
believe the seacoast is the nation,
want free coal.
Others papers-in agricultural sec,
tons, believe with the .Sun-without
knowing the SIMS reason.
But if the tariff does not affect the
interior, how will removing it lower
the price of coal to the interior?
1t can't be done.
The issue, then, is between the sea-
coast and the coal regions depending
upon the seacOast for market.
Shall the seacoast be 'nationalized'
to 60 abroad amk6itum for its fuel
while mainly depending upon the in
terror for a market for products in
which foreign fuel is a factor, not a
raw materialo
And shall the interiorb be denational-
lied into mere province of the sea-
coast?
These are tie questions at issue
w. L. Wilson moves against US,
and w. b. Wilson seconds the motion.
Indeed, W. b. Wilson does more.
He urges the miners to put W. L..
Wilson's motion into effect betore a
more liberal Senate can even give them
the very poor boon Of 10 cents per ton.
The twin-Wilson plan, while reduc-
ing the home mining regions to prov
inces, will build up and make great
tributary to a foreign crown.
The only difference, as before said,
is w. b. Wilson, now in this county,
wants us to begin booming" Nova
Scotia right away.

AlleGany and Syria.

In several hypercritical references
to local article not designed to be
serious, the Cumberland Courier asks ::
Which "Damascus?' One of the three
was wilderness.
The JOURNAL wrote from memory,
and probably erred in stating that it
twas staked out by Abraham'-an
enterprise due, according to Josephus.
to Cz, the great grandson of Noah.
But long-ago readings of Damascus
history had also impressed the JOUR
NAL with Typographical and political
resemblances of the Alleganian to the
Syrian metropolis, and which are
verified by later comparisons as
follows:
|, The altitude of Damascus is 2,344
feet; that of Frostburg >, lib! feet.
>, The ancient city occupies a stua-
ton of unrivaled loneliness and
3, The perspective view is one of
flashing beauty.
+, Damascus is high protection
town" which has sadly declined in
manufacturing Importance because"
says the historian, "of the imposition
OF taxes upon raw materials"
., But Damascus, like Frostbulg
and unlike Cumberland, does not re-
gard coal as a raw material, and it is
confidently believed that the states
men of Syria, like those of the coal
region, hold that in all processes of
manufacture wherein coal is employed
the miner is just as much one of the
makers of the product as any other
workman engaged in its development.
Hence, tariff on coal is no: q tax
upon raw materials.
