Not Coal This Time.

Mr.. Rayner's egotistic 81 am dem
ocrat" encountered a painful check a
few days ago in the shape of the in
come tax provision.
Mr.. Cochran, of New York, one of
those who applauded Mr.. Rayner's
free coal speech so vociferously, was
also staggered by the addendum.
Seems to depend altogether upon
whose OK is gored behind the fifth en-
closure of the thoracic cavity.

Consistency a Priceless Jewel.

Consistency Priceless Jewel
The JOURNAL is not an apologist for
Mr.. McKaig.
But in Justice to him, let US ask
several questions:
What sense is there in voting for
the protection of a home article that
has no foreign competition and can
have none?
What sense in voting for tariff
that protects nothing and brings no
revenue to the government?
And when there is no sense in such
voting, why should he displease his
real friends and crafty his known
enemies by making a fool of himself ?
McKaig has done all that any man
could to retain the John Richie duty
on coal-.a duty reduced by protection
lists from $l.25 to rs cents per ton,
reduction which the protectionists of
this region endorsed at the next cleo
ton by showing John Richie under a
majority of over nine hundred-a re-
duction by protectionists of wages for
which there has never been but one
explanation, and that by the pro-
tectionist Cumberland Ne,os that
wages were too high under the ST.
tariff"
After protectionists have done so
much to reduce the tariff "because
wages were too high" is there not
considerable gall in their complaint
against McKaig for not being able to
stem the tide of protectionist New
England's open and avowed eagerness
for free coal, and for not being able to
save coal at the rate where John
Richie placed it after rescuing it from
the protectionlsts' figure of so cents
The voice of coal tariff history is too
eloquent with protectionist endorse
ments of the reduction in 1872 of 60
per cent, and with COMBINATIONS of
John Richie for allowing it to be only
40 per cent, for protectionists to come
forward now with consistent COM
plant against representative who is
unable to save the protectionists OF
this region from the ravages of pro-
tective rapacity in New England.
Wages under the $1,25 tariff rate in
1872 were 65 cents per ton and con-
tinued so for some time after the duty
was fixed at Is cents. Had wages been
reduced accordingly the price for
digging per ton would have been 80
cents. But the mine-owners eventual
ly fixed the price at so cents, or II
cents more than the reduction justified.
Had John Richie failed, the price
for digging would have been reduced
from IS to 26 cents per ton then add
the concession of II cents by the lib
eral mine owners and wages would
have been 81 cents per ton.
Hence, so cents per ton is the John
Richie rate for digging coal; 81 cents
the high protection rate.
But the region not only never en-
dorsed John Ritchie's work, which
put eight millions of dollars in its
pockets, but it sent him quick and
straight to his political grave.
And still standing with those who
would have fixed its pay, its livelihood
and its comforts at eight millions less,
it groans with complaint at repre-
sentative who cannot longer save 1t
from the inevitable consequences of
that inveterate paganism which APP
parently values no interest, no senti-
ment and worshlps no god above party.

After Him.

On Wednesday the justice of the
peace of Meyersdale and three men
from Berlin and Meyersdale who were
in hot pursuit of the murderer of pay
boss Haldeman, who was murdered
and robbed of $1,000 on December 16
in Allegany county, Md, came to Bed
ford and remained here until the next
morning. A man answering the de-
scription of the murderer was seen at
Wolfsbug on Sunday and at 1.-The
Narrows" on Monday oy Bedford
people. A reward of $500 has been
offered for his arrest.-Bedford Gazette.

Deal Gently With Him,

Mr.. McKag must now be recognized as an
advocate of free coal. If he is not, why did he
vote for measure which places it upon the
free list ?-Cumberland NetcS.
For a reason similar to that which
probably induced Mr.. McComas to vote
for a bill which did something for
nearly everything else except coal.
And this after he had voted for free
hides,

The Concert.

The Western Maryland Home and
Hospital Concert, Cumberland, Thurs.
day evening, was pronounced sue
cess artistically and financially. The
participants faced an audience of in
spring number aud character and the
enlivening applause which frequently
filled the auditorium of the Academy
of Music stirred each to the highest
effort. Miss Dorothy Byrde Rogers,
the soprano soloist, was easily the
heroine of the stage, and in the octette
Mrs. John w. Avirett's voice and
beauty won unbounded compliment.
Among the gentlemen T. H. Thomas
and Ewald Giese, according to the
JOURNALS Interpretation, most dis
tinguished themselves. No disparage-
ment of those not named is designed,
nor in the statement that of the
octette the pose Of Mrs. Avirett and Mr..
Geise most befitted the stage. Miss
Helen M. Coles recita;ions, somewhat
too lengthy, yet wreathed her high
reputation as a reader with new
laurels. The orchestral accompani-
ments and portions Of the programme
were very fine, The entire perform
ance is praised as one of the most en-
joyable ever presented in Cumberland.

1t is said that the entire Province
OF Ontario is in favor of repeal of the
duty on American coal, as the Ameri-

and as without the duty they could

so cents per ton cheaper than what
they are paying for the Nova Scotia
cOal.--COal Trade journal.

Senator Sloan's anti-free coal resolu-

The Senate not only shelved it, but
passed wholesale dictum to the L. S.

Perhaps this would not have been
thought of had Mr.. Sloan not sought
the other thing.

A Case of Bad Manners.

The JOURNAL is of the opinion that the
workingmen of Baltimore made mistake in
demanding MIR. Rayner's support of certain
amendments to the Wilson bill.-Cumber-
land Neps.
Not so much a mistake in demand
ing" it, but mistake in the manner
and the tone of demanding" it.
And when Rayner looked in their
faces and saw that, tariff or no tariff,
nearly every mothers son of them
was an anti-Rayner man anyhow, he
put down their demand as a piece of
that raw material known as "cheek."
For this, however, the JOURNAL
would not care.
1t was the unwarranted occasion
and use he made of it to emphasize his
antagonism to dutiable coal that the
JOURNAL complains of.
In All Kindness.
The JOURNAL will probably next
week take up the Homecoming Stars
design to continue to inform its
readers, and thereby teach, rather
than learn them"
Meanwhile, we desire to assure the
Star that if people cannot be learned
anything, there can be no learners"
nothing ''learnable," nor a class en-
titled to the distinction of Learned"
Hence, when it wants to discard the
verb, learn" from active use, it must
also destroy all its derivatives.
These hints are not directed to the
editor of the Star, but to the gentle
man whose pro tempore editorial sir
name seems to be 81"
