Political,

The German tariff bill will BECOME
a law. The Senate finance committee
recommendation, not going through
this session, the tariff on coal will, in
any event, remain at 40 cents ton.
The republican primary for No. II
will be held in J. Harrison Bepler's
fresh meat studio.
Democratic primaries are fixed for
Saturday, Sept. :; county convention
in Cumberland for Tuesday, Sept. 4,
and congressional convention in Ha-
gerstown for Wednesday, Sept. II.
1t seems to be settled beyond doubt
that Ferdinand Williams, of Cumber-
land, will be the democratic nominee
for Congress.
At this writing the primary result
Tuesday evening is i'll doubt. Pearre
will probably poll majority of his
party voters, but Wellington seems to
have cinch on the districts.
Meanwhile, each faction is busy
mailing lies, and circulars are flying

Best Yet,

The Senate finance committee re-
ported Monday the several House free
list bills with amendments, that con-
corning coal
so as to provide for reciprocity by the
admission free of duty of coal imported from
countries which admit coal from this country
Free Coal imported from countries imposing
a duty on our coal is to be made dutiable at
the rate in existence when this bill shall go
into effect,
If the JOURNAL does not misunder-
stand this statement it means, for in
stance, that if Canada will take off all
tariffs upon coal imported from the
United States, Canadian coal will be
admitted free of duty to this country.
But if Canada adheres to its tariff,
the John Richie duty of rs cents per
ton on Nova Scotia coal remains!
This is far more favorable than the
provision made by the German bill
l, Because the duty of rs cents Is
better than 40 cents, and
2, Its permanency depends upon a
fact, repeatedly stated in Congress,
that Canada cannot do without the
revenue obtained from coal, and will
not, therefore, fer years to come make
coal free.
1t is sad news to carry to the Cum
berland Ne,es that when this and
similar proposals were submitted to a
tied committee the high protectionists
would take no credit to themselves
not even for their boosted friendship
for coal They forced the Senate to
supply vacancy which enabled the
democrats to report bill for coal ex-
actly along the lines four years ago
proposed in general by Mr.. Blame,
minus presidential power to institute
free trade.
The result is a vitality better pro-
vision for coal than that of the Nc
kinley Act, always of uncertain tenure
under the dangerous power of the
executive to look out for and declare
reciprocity" which in our case would
have been nothing more nor less than
free trade" printed in italics.
1t is too much to hope that it will
pass this session, but as the last or
gained expression of a democratic
body it must inspire more orless futter
into the fluent hand and rapid pen
which records in the Neaos office the
daily intimation that nothing good
can be imported from Nazareth.

A Great Mistake IN Baltimore.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark says:
With 40 cents ton on coal the Virginia
and West Virginia mines, with their superior
product, can compete with Canada in New
England. With free coal the Canada syndi.
cate would have wiped out our trade and yet
the home (Norfolk) people would have had
coal no cheaper.
So in Baltimore, some of whose
people, Influenced by the Sun, insanely
expect free coal to cheaper their fuel
But if there is any change at all in
the price at Baltimore it will go higher
for if Baltimore can afford to give
Nova Scotia portion of our trade
our coal people will be very apt to SEE
that Baltimore will do its full share in
making up the deficiency.
Nova Scotia cannot reach Baltimore
with coal as cheap as we can make
our highest price.

Must Not Throw Stones.

The Homecoming Star made neat
turn on it's rather impetuous neighbor
last week.
Somebody had said very Impairment
ly that several business men hold
some financial interest in the Recieao,
whereat the super-impressible editor
flew into a white heat and flung the
lie so promiscuously that one was sure
to hit the Star.
Then the Star said:
Of course, the Reyiew has perfect right to
say that certain people write, or aid in writing
for the Star or any other paper 1t has a
right to accuse the Star, JOURNAL or Ne,cs of
being controlled by the coal companies. 1t
has right to say whatever it pleases about
other people, but for goodness sake, readers,
don't be guilty ofcastng any reflections upon
the immaculate Reoiew or its precious, able,
unstained editor. 1t will never do, and you
might get into trouble
1t is matter of record that the Reciew
has not only done all the Star alleges,
but it has discovered and impeached
motives; has gone so far, in fact, as
to intimate that the JOURNAL has no
business here, and so on.
The JOURNAL has been inclined to
ignore these vagaries as the natural
concomitants of inexperience, but
since the Reoieo exhibits absolute in
tolerance Of all insinuations concern
ing itself and disposition to hold
those who indulge them to severe &C
count, we shall hereafter watch its
tantrums and see that it does not for
get that 1t has confessed that it lives

The School Term.

j. E. J. Buckley chides the news
papers somewhat for silence upon the
short term matter.
But the JOURNAL has so often
criticised these strokes of economy
that it is like ''threshing over old
straw" to indulge the exercise further.
1t is still true, however, that the
building and improvement of school
houses, which, it is said, is the cause
of abridged terms, is direct tax upon
the income of the teachers and, what
is worse-it is so much intellectually
valuable time taken from the children.
There ought to be some way devised,
therefore, to separate the item of
building from the item of schooling
expenses, so that the latter, always
amply provided for, should be I'M
available for any other purpose.
AS matter of fact, the commits
sioners should always be authorized to
levy sufficient sum for ten months
education, while the responsibility for
tho size, style and comfort of the
schoolhouse and grounds should be
largely laid upon the locality.
Then the onus of neglect would lie
precisely upon the shoulders of those
most concerned.
In other words, the authorities could
say-''we have the teachers and the
money to pay them. Have you the
accommodations ? If not, the money
and teachers are not available"
But when the School Board has
everything to do for everybody, it is a
wonder they can give us even Is per
cent of a wear
