ABOUT STRIKES AND STRIKERS.


 A correspondent in our contem- porary this morning, who conceals himself behind the usual eowardly nom de plume, wants the publisher of this paper hanged on account ol a communication published iu Saturdays is- sue. That he is an anarchist, is evidenced by his own admission, as he says:
 "Of the merits of the present strike l know but little, but my sympathies are with the strikers, anu so in every case where nothing is known of the cause, my sympathy is with the strikes"
 That he is given to misrepresenta- tion, more commonly known as lying, or else is deficient in common sense and unable to comprehend the meaning of language, is also shown by his assertion in regard Co the communication referred to. He says:
 "The correspondent expressed sentiment that favors the wholesale hanging, by the national authorities of toilers who dare to presume tha ( they have any right to resist the ever encroaching ayarice of mono poly"
 The correspondent in question expressed no such sentiment. In speaking of hanging bee, which he did, fguratively only, he referred equally to the railroad magnates" with the anti Pullmans. While the JoURNAL-MINER is not responsible for, nor does it, necess sarily, endorse the opinions of its correspondents, it would not give place to sentiment such as this anonymous correspondent charges it with publishing.
 The JOURNAL MINER IS owned by one who has been compelled to work all his life to earn his living, and to work more hours per day, probably, than MT. "F. N." ever did, and his sympathies are naturally with the ''toilers," but not to that extent that he believes them right under all circumstances, without knowing the merits of their case.
 He does not sympathize with a Carnegie strike, where about a dozen individuals. getting from Sl0 to S2O per day, peremptorily close up large works, throwing thousands of men out of employment, who were receiving only from Sl.75 to $25O per day, and depriving them of the means of supporting themselves and families, without any hope or attempt to better the wages of the low priced man, but solely for the purpose of entrenching the high priced fellows more solidly in their fat positions.
 Neither does he ordinarily sym pathize with the alien un-American Hungarian revolutionist and rioter, who destroys property and takes human life, in order to prevent American citizens from working in coal mines. While he does not sympathize with this latter class of so called organized labor, he has no sympathies to waste on the mining operator who imported him here on account of his cheap labor, and who, nursed him as reptile, which turns and stings him.

Next Sundays ball game promises to be an interesting one. It is given out that the Prescott club has im- ported battery for the occasion, but that they are trying to keep it a profound secret, while the Whipple boys will get up an invincible nine. Considerable feeling, of friendly nature, but of bitter rivalry, exists over the result of last Sundays game, which will give additional zest to the next game.

Examination for CnIIene-

In order to save to parents and
young men the trouble and expense of
visiting Newark for examination, the
Board recently ordered that a COM
mittee from the college should visit
each prominent point in the state to
to examine upon the spot all candid
ates for admission to the college. Such
a committee will visit Smyrna on We'd
nesday next, June 9th, and it hoped
that the arrangements will attract
attention from all interested in the
higher education of their boys. The

Elkton & Southern R. R.

The above is the name of the new
RailrOa d which is to start at Child's
station, thence by ElktOn, Chesapeake
City, Ceciltop to l4ambson's and then
by Clayton and Smyrna to Bombay
Hood over the river to the Jersey Cen
trail. The ElktOn Democrat of Satur-
day had the following reference to It {:
The corps of engineers engaged in
making the survey for the Elkton &
Southern will resume their labors next
week. The line has been located from
Childs to Chesapeake City, and will be
taken up at the latter place and run to
Lambson's.
Books for subscriptions to the capital
stock of the Elkton & Southern will be
opened at the Second National Bank,
Elkton, on Wednesday next, the Goth
instant, at which time the organization
will be effected. Rights of way will
then be secured and the work COM
menced.
A certificate of incorporation will be
issued to the Peninsula Railroad Com
pany, which company will operate the
Elkton Il Southerni the Baltimore &
Delaware Bay; Easton & Chestertown,
and such other lines as may compose
the projected peninsula trunk line.
1t is popularity presumed that the B.
y D. is not only backing the Elkton &
Southern but will furnish the capital to
build it. This is a mistake, The B. &
y. will have no pecuniary interest in
the u. Il s., but will endorse the enter.
prise and has entered into certain traf.
tic contracts that will be advantageous
to both ORGANIZATIONS.

AFTER a weeks hesitation on the
part of many miners they have agreed
TO accept the the Columbus schedule
rates. 1t began April 81 and continued
without interruption until last week.
With an exception here and there, the
entire bituminous coal field have been
involved. Virginia, West Virginia,
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and part of Missouri
and Kentucky comprise the territory.
The struggle was fercest in western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. Con-
servative estimates place the number
of men involved at 100000. These
men, according to the best Obtainable
information earn on an average $3.50 a
day. The loss to the miners in wages
for the, say, City days duration of the
strike makes the total Of sl2,50O.O0O.
That many of the mine owust. lost
heavily is equally true. but it is more
difficult to even approximate the loss.
Then, again. there is the cost of the
State in general of maintaining order
by troops and an increase of civil force.
Properly, too, the losses Of manuiac.
turing plants because of lack of fuel
and those of the railroads and other
means Of locOmOtiOn must be included.
This loss is represented in the increased
price paid for coal, the advance being
from 1925 to SAFE and s. a ton. In
all, upon the basis of an operators
fguring,the total loss as a result of th {
miners strike for fifty days will moi
fall short of $50 ,O0O, 900.

Are the Pardons EqualP

The large number of pardOns recent
ly granted by Governor Reynolds has
naturally raised the question as to why
so many at this time The DeIaUGreGn
asks the question editorially, docs a
Pardon Restore Franchise" expressing
the opinion that it does not, giving the
following reasons:
The constitution takes away the
right of suffrage from every person
convicted of crime deemed by law
felony" Some lawyers, however, have
cOntended that a pardon is so ample in
its nature, so complete in its curative
power, that the person receiving it is
reinstated in all the rights and privileges
he enjoyed before conviction, includ-
ing the right of suffrage.
The question is a nice one for argu-
ment. We are inclined to the opinion
that the weight of authority is on the
side of our correspondent who maintains
that the right of suffrage is absolutely
dead the moment of the conviction and
that no subsequent act of the Governor
can restore it. This view is in keeping
with a strict, literal Interpretation Of
the constitution. Moreover, the pre-
ponderating weight of opinion among
lawyers seems to be upon this side Of
the question, if question there be. We
find the ablest sort of support for it
from the very time of the adoption Oi
our State Constitution to the present.
The profound lawyer who drew our
constitution, John NJ. Clayton, held
this opinion, and we are told that it is
held by the distinguished gentleman
who is now the senior member of the
Kent county bar.
The question heretofore has been one
of little practical importance, because
there had been so few pardOns of meI
convicted of felonies. But within the
last few years there have been a mum
Der of such pardons, and the question
acquires much greater Importance.

The Prohibition Convention.

The Prohibition party met Thursday
at Dover to put a State ticket in the
field. They thus lead of with the unity
and enthusiasm of an old party used
10 triumphs at the polls, and take COM
fort at least in the increment of voters
since its organization. The Platform
is q good one, and we give it place in
another part of the paper. The dozen
paragraphs are the utterances doubt
less of sincere men who are reach
ing after good results. Some may de-
nominate it establishing principles by
meeting and adopting resolutions-a
legalizing of virtues by the wholesale
in paper bulletins, without any strong,
compact organization to unity, mould
and back up the statutory measures
necessary for legal execution.
No man wishing the advancement of
the masses to a purer and better citi-
zenship can put their foot on the prin-
ciples of the Prohibition party and
wish to press them out of existence
while they may differ as to the proper
methods to attain the desired result.
The difference lies between the vision
ary and real, and many men see Utopia
only a little way down the vista,
Others see the gaining of the"absolute'
a long way of. Still another class who
Judge the future by the past, do moi
expect to accomplish the illimitable al
q bound, but reach it, if at all, in sure
and steady stages. Such would choose
from existing organizations that which
promises the most in its substantial
character and make up the virtues
as far as possible enacted into law tina
are embodied in the platform of th'
Prohibition party. There is such 1
thing as frittering away the best pur
poses in weak organizations and con
tinued weak attacks; in fact aid ant
comfort has thus often been given tn
very ones perpetuating the evil the!
would eradicate. By no principle Q
equation has one been made to balanc
either in nine men or measure, o
mathematics or politics.

Dogs.

Friday seems to have been "dOg
day." at least 1t was With Policeman
Grant. He evidently didn't fancy the
job much of shooting other peoples
dogs, but the Town Council had re-
vived an old ordinance at a previous
meeting, with the Chief of Police as
exeoutionerJ There was a good deal
of indifference, in fact, disregard of the
ordinance on the part of the owners, as
was evident in so many of the CANNES
running on the street unmuzzled. This
indiHerences somewhat nettled some
of the"City Fathers, "and the policeman
was hauled up with an extra twist on
the screw of authority for not obeying
instructions, no matter whether pleas
ant or unpleasant. The point was not
to muZzled the dogs, but to shoot them
not muzzled, las per proceedings else
where) and Mr.. Grant the next day
prepared himself with gun. shot and
powder to slay the worthless ours at rs
cents per head-the presumptation be-
ing that dogs valued by their masters
would be muzzled. The days work
was a good one sn even dozen biting
the dust. The effect was salutary tC
those who "didn't care for the law

Lawn Party.

The B. M. S. X. held their annual
Lawn Party Monday evening at the
"Linden's," the home of Miss Elizabeth
Denney. These lawn parties which
mark the disbandment of the club for
the heated term, are given for the
pleasure of the clubs friends as we'll
as for the club themselves.
The lawn parties, and the receptions
during the holidays are the only times
that the male friends are allowed ad.
mittance into their circle, therefore it
is needless to ask if they had an enjoy
able time.
The lawn was tastefully lighted with
Japanese lanterns, scattered in differ
ent parts Of the spacious ground. The
most amusing scene of the evening was
when the party was trying to get their
prizes, that were attached to strings
representing a cob-web.
Parts of the webb were in the tops of
trees, while others were raped in most
every way on panel fences, so when
the men in particular reached their
prizes, there was a sigh of relief. The
B. M. S. K. showed great ingenuity in
the puZzling arrangement of the web
that seemed so difficult for the men
to unwind.
Mrs. A. D. Yocum won the ladies'
prize, while H. P. Hall captured the
gentlemens' trophy for reaching the
end of their lines first. The prizes were
books of the most popular authors
The evening was most pleasantly spent
in social chat by parties sitting on the
lawn in groups, while others were
occupying the hammocks. About hall
past ten refreshments were served ia
the assemblage, and at twelve the party
had started for home after spending q
most enjoyable evening. Some of the
prizes were very comical and caused
| much merriment.

Mr.. VIM. Nailor, residing near Green
Spring, killed mad dog on his farm
on Sunday with a hickory stick. 1t
visited his place twice that day, biting
two of his dogs and several of those Of
neighbors. This was probably the same
dog that behaved in a manner Sat-
urday between Smyrna and Duck
Creek as to give the impression that it

North street from Messrs. Cameron

with guns. 1t Is satisfaction to know
the animal has been killed, but how
much of the virus has been transmitted
