WhyDoThey Not GetIt?

The world IS overfull of distress, so much
so that often the best and most benevolent
people know not which way they ought to
turn to give such reliefas they can. The best
way, in every such doubt, is to attend to the
cases nearest you. The condition Of the gar
ment makers in New York, now on strike, is
most deplorable. 1t makes ones heart bleed
to know how severe is their toll and how little
they get for it.-New York Evening Post
These people are workers in fabrics
lately protected by an ad calorem duty
of 95 per cent, and yet they are
starving.
They are, in fact, the self-same,
identical people for whom the IS per
cent was levied on the clothes wearing
people of the country.
Why, then, do they not get it?
1t is not because people have quit
wearing clothes.
Nor because they do not pay enough
for them.
Why, then, do they not get it
There are no "little theories" in
volved in this question.
1t is easy to answer.
But the JOURNAL would like to get
it explained by somebody who, dis
daining ''lttle theories must be a
practical, hard-fisted economist.

A Belated Charge.

1t is not fair for the gentlemen who
are not pleased with the result in this
county and the action of the Frederick
convention to charge Mr.. Wellington
with being "a corporation candidate"
or. to speak more specifically, "a Con-
solldation coal company nominee"
The issue thus implied was never
raised by Mr.. Wellington, nor did it
ever take any shape whatever until
Mr.. Pearre's friends unwisely paraded
him as 1.-THE Strikers Friend"
Even then it is not believed the com
pany went out of its way to resent the
part taken by Mr.. Pearre in earning
the unfortunate sobriquet.
The Consolidation and all the coal
companies want to work. They have
no time no. disposition to tramp round
hunting for people who have chips ON
their shoulders for corporations to
knock off at their peril. Hence they
do not raise these petty, spiteful issues.
But when raised-when the integrity
of their conduct is impeached, and
standing only on their rights, it is
likely that in nine of ten cases they
will not lounge idly on their own pre-

"T,ittIe Theories !"

The JOURNAL declares that to the farmer
free coal is now desideratum." Why?
The great paper has frequently stated in the
most emphatic manner that placing coal on
the free list will not result in reduction of
price to the domestic consumer. Free coal
will cost the farmers of Washington, Fred
erick and Montgomery as much as coal pro-
tected at the rate of seventy-tive cents ton,
and this being the case why should free coal
be desideyutum to them ?-Cumberland Netcs
Because with them, as with a vast
majority of other consumers, the
notion of cheaper cost accompanies
the idea of undutiable commodities.
And only experience in the case Of
coal will teach them better.
They will not, therefore, believe the
JOURNAL.
In fact, they will not believe the
Ne,cs to the contrary.
They, too, enjoy what the Ne,os else
where calls ":heir little theories"
And 'little theories" are very sub
stantial when their weight is felt in
the ballot box.

Baseball in the Mountains.

PEA RIDGE, MD, Aug. 30, 1894.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
While we do not possess a Kid
Gleason nor d Clarkson, we challenge
the world to have a more exciting
game of baseball than was played at
Pea Ridge August %.
There was a basket picnic and the
surrounding people gathered from
far and near to. witness a game OF
baseball which was to be played.
Little did the people think of being
eye-witnesses of such game and our
own country boys to be such great
players.
For weeks before the loving lassies,
wives and sisters of the two teams, had
lavished all their artistic skill on the
dazzling uniforms to be worn on that
occasion. And great was the rivalry
among the country lassies to see
whose work would show to the
best advantage. "Nightingales" and
"Orioles" were the two teams and
dressed as Observation-Disclosures
blue blouses, red breaches, black hose,
yellow shoes and white caps; ''Orioles"
same cOlors reversed-red blOuses.
blue breeches, yellow hose, white shoes
and black caps.
Promptly at II O'Clock the huge
baskets were unpacked. and what a
feast Cold chicken, legs of mutton,
loaves of snowy bread, rolls of golden
butter, jars of pickles. boiled hams
all combined to display such plenty
that we decided the hard times never
existed and that, after all, democracy is
asuccess and blessing. Those that had
baskets literally shared with those that
did not come prepared. 1t looked like
the parable feast-it took many baskets
to hold the fragments after the multi
tude had been fed.
Then came the excitement of the
day. The players quickly retired to a
nearby farmhouse and donned their
uniforms-all the crowd in state of
expectancy as their eyes were directed
to the brow of the hill. The tension
was soon relieved, for the stars and
stripes appeared on the hill and were
greeted by deafening applause. D-
rectly following the standard bearer
walked two little boys dressed in the
colors of the teams and carrying the
ball in a beautifully decorated basket.
Preceding them came four boys with
the bats, attached to which were
many yards of ribbon. In meeting
held by the clubs it was unanimously
decided that there would be no store
balls or bats. Wisely" said one;

Political.

The JOURNAL was included among
the papers requested to publish the res
olutiOns of the Pearre convention last
week, but as Mr.. Wellington has been
nominated, it Is probably not the wish
of many of those disappointed by that
outcome to haye them printed now.
"Giving itself the benefit of the
doubt" therefore. the JOURNAL again
postpones them.
At the county convention of demo-
cratic delegates Tuesday W. c. Devec-
mon, of Cumberland, was chairman,
and John Z. Walsh, of Pekiu, and M.

Labor Day.

1t is not generally known that the
origin of the term, Labor Day."
ought to be credited to II citizen of Iona
coming. A writer in Tuesdays Wash
ington Star says the term was most
probably first spoken on 1.-THE 9th day
of September, 1882, in New York city,"
Continuing, he says:
On that day the various labor organiza-
tons of the city and vicinity paraded, after
ward holding picnic at which addresses
were made. The Knights of Labor of New
York city at that time were not working OPEN
ly. The name of the order was kept secret,
and the public expressions of the members
went out to the world under other names
than those selected to designate the local as
semblies. Under different names, too, the
local assemblies were represented in the
Central Labor Union. On the 9Th of Septem-
Der, 1882, the general assembly of New York
convened III New York city and that body
was INVITED to review the great parade of the
laboring people. The invitation was accept
ed, recess being taken by the assembly to
permit its members to view the parade. As
the procession passed the reviewing stand
Robert Price, of Homecoming. Md, remarked
to the general worthy foreman of the Knights
of Labor, Richard Griffiths
This is Labor day in earnest, Uncle Dick.
The term may have been used before but
that is not definitely known, BE that as it
may, the parade of that day has ever since
been referred to as the first Labor day parade

Let Us be Quiet.

Mr.. Williams, as the JOURNAL says, may
pledge himself to do all in his power to Sc
cure protection to coal" Mr. McKaig did
the same. But he followed his party III it's
crusade against protection, and so will Mr..
Williams. The question at issue will not
therefore be what individual candidates may
do, or not do, but how do the two great po-
litical parties stand with reference to the
protection of our coal interests % Cumberland
Nems.
The JOURNAL is glad to learn that
it is ''the two great political parties"
that are on trial in this district, and
especially in this county.
But as the world, and even the
country, sometimes does not 60 as we
do, it is a serious question of policy
whether we should make our demand
for protection 20 coal noisy one.
For instance, last winter the miners
at Coketon, W. Va, "indignated,"
and some of them wanted to burn W.
l.. Wilson in effigy.
The JOURNAL felt at the time that
the Coketon explosion was piece of
miserably bad policy.
The direct results are-Mr. Wilson
was not hurt, while Mr.. Camden, a
friend of coal, is manned for all the
rest of his political life.
Whether rightfully or wrongfully,
the agricultural element in both parties
is growing in the belief that free
foreign coal means cheaper fuel.
And they accept our arrogant de-
mands for "the protection of our coal
interests" as corroborations of their
conviction that dutiable coal means
fuel at prices unnecessarily high.
The JOURNAL solemnly believes,
therefore, that the more Mr.. Williams
is put on trial here for his attitude to-
ward coal, the more his antagonist
will have to answer for in Washington,
Frederick and Montgomery.

A Substantial Test.

Tue discussion of the short-term
school question has one good effect:
1t brings home to the people the fact
that the success of the public school
system depends directly and imme-
diately upon popular willingness to
pay all that success costs.
To extend the term, therefore, from u
to 8 months, the JOURNAL understands
that the sum of $4,000 is required.
This means an additional tax of about
3 cents per 5000 be leoied hereafter.
To make the matter better understood
the following table is printed to show
what has been done to provide for the
schools in the levy for this year:
For school expenses and repairs. .... $4,000
I" interest on bonds 5000
" old school debts. Observation-Disclosures. 6,0OO
TOTAL .................. .......... s4o,OOO
Besides the cold school debts"
named in the table the School Board
seems to have overbuilt the bond pro-
ceeds IN the sum of $4,000 or $50 900.
This they propose to pay off IN two
years by subtraction from the "school
expenses and REPAIRS fund. Hence,
this year we have only $33, 900 avail
able to carry on the schools sum
which, it is said, will keep them alive
only u months.
Now, then, the interest of the pupils,
teachers and the efficiency of the
system unite in demanding that the
people shall in some tangible way
authorize the County Commissioners
to raise that sc, 900 and run the schools
at least nine months.
Will we do it?
That is the question.
One thing is sure-we ought to do it.
The welfare of our children is daily
superseding our own. Besides being
"our hope and our joy" they are the
coming custodians of our social in
tegrity and governmental security,
whom we should fully qualify to take
up and bear the responsibilities we
shall erelong lay down.
Hence, to authorize the County
Commissioners to make draft of 3
cents per 500 on us, payable year
hence, will show that we really value
the system as we profess to do.
Enth asiasts may exhibit their loyalty
on occasions of educational interest by
buying and displaying cheap flags and
shouting-"beware of the Pope !'-but
taxpayers cannot get off so easy.

good investment, they must "down

professionals have had their fingers
broken" So it was decided that the
girls should make the ball out of blue
yarn covered with soft chamois from
the top of one of the young mems
boots.
The combatants walked slowly be-
tween the passage made by crowd
anxious to catch u glimpse of the
pageant, and finally they reached the
ground. The opposing teams formed
ranks aud when the word was given
forward, shake"-they quickly re-
sponded, evidently never to be friends
again. Such was not the case, how
ever, for after the game all were
friends.
Promptly at > o'clock the game was
called. All took their places, the
''Nightingales" at the bat. "Play
ball." and the cannonading began.
A soft sound was heard and the
ginger bread ball rebounded from the
hickory bat and landed directly in
front of the pitcher, who, through ex-
element, twirled it to second. Hold
your base" yelled the umpire.
AT the end of the 9th inning the ball
began to yield to the terrific battery
and the yarn began to float in the air.
Nothing daunted, they wrapped the
ball and the game went on. For j
hours the battering-ram was used with
dexterity and force that would have
weakened the Wall of China. At the
9th inning the ball and bat were much
the worse for. wear, and will be kept
as mementos of the great game.
The score was "Nightingales,' 36
"Orioles," II.

young ladies rushed in on the diamond
