JOURNALISTIC.

The Cumberland Ne,rs of Wednesday
contained the following journalistic
item:
The transfer of the Homecoming Rcciem from
the estate of the late Henry w. Schaidt to
Henry c. Rank was concluded Yesterday
forenoon by David W. Sloan, the attorney
of Mrs Schaidt, the executor, although that
paper has practically been the property of
and under the control of Mr.. Rank since
April 18th. The NeerS wishes the Rerjep a
long lease of prosperity under its new pro-
prietor.
i'm which the JOURNAL cordially
JOINS. The Reciem is bright, enter
prising paper with a reputedly large
constituency and already taking a
squirt under its new auspices. The
JOURNAL is occasionally compelled to
deplore the Rerie~'S assumptions and
conclusions. but it never ceases to hope
that time, the undertaken of editorial
errors, will soon have to ''go on a
permanent strike in its columns for
something to bury.

In reply to ''Citizen" the JOURNAL
is sure the current corporate regime
does not intend patronizing non-resi-
dents to the exclusion of residents.
The JOURNAL does not believe "the
women Of Eckhart' suffered anything
in the estimation of the outside world,
as "Catharine" seems to fear. She
states in a simple, clear manner, a
good case, and her sex was able to
exert an influence which the other can
not. In a few private lines accom-
panying her letter "Catharine" says
she "has read the JOURNAL with pleas

If protection really protected, the

Great Economists.

One great body of economists in this
country contends that the way to
make workingmen rich is to tax them,
and tax them high.
Another large body, with John Nc
Bride at its head, says the way to do
it is to stop work long enough for
competing regions to steal your trade.
In either case it seems to take a
good deal of the bark of the dog to
cure the bite.

\ REPUTATION.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
After permitting the so-called rep
resentatives of the United Mine
Workers of America to remain i'll our
midst long enough to paint imaginary
pictures of destltution and woe to our
prosperous community and exciting
some almost to deeds of violence, we
are blandly informed in the circular,
which has been distributed since their
departure, that owing to the out
rageous villihcation'' of these same
sweet and immaculate angels, "they
had not received a proper hearing"
we are inclined to think that had they
resorted to this means of reaching the
people instead of exclusive and secret
meetings. they would have met with
far less success.
If then argument favori:ig Il general
forth in the circular, we are prepared
to say without hesta ion that its
insipidity is only equaled by the mis-
guided fervor Of their followers.
With these few remarks we proceed
to prove what we affirm.
Regarding the methods adopted for
the betterment of our con lltion we
have only to say that on account of
the rapid development of other coal
fields the efficacy Of striking is com
pletely placed in the roll of useless
means. Competition will not be put
down and as long as IL number of like
enterprises exist universal shutdown
can rot be brought about. Example

Two Questions,

The Fanny Nova Scotian is trying to get
in his work in the States while our mines are
idle, and we hear of some very liberal offers
being made to the Dominion company for
coal to be supplied by them. Is it not the
height of folly to permit these fellows to gain
toothold in our markets? Wonder if there
is any legislation that can keep out coal when
it is eeded?-Coal Trade JournM.
In answer to the first question it is,
but when men give both ears to the
STARS and Stripes" talk of the mis-
sionaries, reason abdicates her throne
and fancy sentiment sways the
sceptre.
To the second there is none and can
be none. Only war, with an iron-clad
blockade of the coast, will keep any
thing from coming into this country
that money will buy.

ImpOrtin1COaI.

a leading Cumberland firm sends
the JOURNAL the following paragraph
from the New York Jomnaiof Commeyce
of May Is:
There have been $4,000 tons of English and
Nova Scotia coal sold to arrive in New York,
a portion of which has already been shipped
from Cardiff, Liverpool and Glasgow, and
from Sidney, Nova Scotia. The cost is with
in 10 to 80 cents per ton of the ordinary price
of soft steamer coal delivered alongside New
York. The bulk of this has been taken by
the companies supplying steamers to fill
their contracts. There are negotiations on
foot for the purchase of 1000 tons more to
be delivered here between the first and tenth
of June by the same parties for the same pur
pose. From this fact it is inferred that the
coal companies intend fighting the strike to
the finish. The present low rates of ocean
freight make the operation possible to bring
coal from England in unlimited quantities
and at competing prices even by steam as
very little freight is now coming this way.
An agent of one of the leading companies
which supplies the foreign steamships with
their coal for the return trips and member
of the Produce Exchange, has bought most
of the above purchases by cable and he saws
the rates of freight paid on them consist only
in the cost of loading and discharging the
coal, and he says, they will continue to i'm
The aboye statement is another
proof of the JOURNALS contention
that all mine strikes, especially IN this
region, are strikes against the con-
sumers, not the employers.
And our consumers, swapping their
fingers at us, go to Nova Scotia and
even Wales for the supplies we will
not furnish
In connection with the above quota
ton the Cumberland firm writes
Would say the Jou,r,M Of Commerce. is
devoted entirely to shipping interests, import
ing; therefore its statement can be strictly
relied upon, as it does not make statements
for the purpose of influencing the opinion or
judgment of anyone but publishes them pure
ly as matters of news.

1t Was the ThoughtIess Element.


a newspaper report says the con-
duet Of the men who stoned miners
houses Wednesday night
was censured by the peaceful strikers
who do not believe in such desperate meas
ures to force men to join them in the sus-
pension.
The above is true, as the JOURNAL
can testify. The vast majority of the
men who are out are law-abiding
citizens and as much opposed to brutal
measures to carry their purpose as
their working neighbors are.
None know better than they that
no good cause can be promoted by but
methods.
But each as his 'brother's keeper"
has more responsibility on hand than
he will be willing to assume after
something bad has been done.

That Circular.

The JOURNAL had intended to pay
some attention to the circular dis
trlbuted and posted this week. but
time and and space press.
Two points, however. must be no.
ticed.
!, The circular argues that president
Mayer has no interest in restoring the
50-cent rate for mining, In its own
words:
Nor can 1t be expected that he will restore
1t until necessity compels him to do so.
In 1856 there was no promise to re-
store the old rate of wages, but it was
restored.
In 1894 there is promise to restore.
but seemingly because it is promise
it is discredited.
That is logic Of a bran new kind.
1t means that $4,000 given back in
1856 to the miners without promise
is no guarantee that it will be done
again rH a promise.
:, The figures given of wages earn
ed and statements of adverse con.
ditions among miners do not apply
here.
If they do, however. all the growth
of this town and region is a falsehood.
and every miners house, especially if
paid for, is a standing memorial of his
poverty and a monumental reproach
to his lifelong aspiration to Town his
own home "
