Mr.. GREEN, of Wy(he county, has
introduced a bill in the legislature, pre-
scrbing the medium in which certain
employers shall pay the wages
of their employees. Evidences Of
paternalism are cropping out all
over the whole country, and
to It's detriment. The less government
has to do with the business of the peo-
ple. the better for them, employer as
well as employee.

Coal that can be consumed is not q
raw material. Coal in the mine is CON-
paratively worthless. 1t only becomes
valuable after ii has been subjected TO
the hands of the miners, and its chief
cost. at least the chief cost of that in
Virginia, arises from the fact that the
miners have to be paid for digging and
hauling it out of the pits. Therefore
the Virginia congressman should not be
willing to have the entire tariff remov-
ed from coal, while that on the articles
produced by burning coal in New Eng
land shall be only slightly reduced. II
Virginia products are to be put on the
free list. those of New England should
be similarly treated. Tote fair" is an
Injunction that is as applicable to the
tariff as it is TO every thing else.

No SPORTSMAN will kill partridges
now. and the pot hunters and those to
whom they sell their game should be
punished if found with partridges in
their possession. The law expressly
provides that such birds shall not be
killed after the lst of January, and the
penalty of broken game law should
be exacted as vigorously as that Of any
other law. The little game that is left
in the state would be preserved if the

THOSE OF the old employees Of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad who have not
been reinstated, now concede that their
strike was great mistake, and many
Of them say they would not have given
up their places if they had not been or
dered TO DO 50 by the officers of their
unions. The pitiable condition Of their
families naturally evokes sympathy,
but the strikers can only blame them
selves for the legitimate consequences
of their folly. If their officers had COM
nanded them to put their hands in the
fire, they would not have obeyed them,
and long winter with no employment
is infinitely worse than burnt hands.
