any color in the face the least bit of

OVer(iOne Reciprocity.

There is somebody on the staff of the
Baltimore Ne.cs who is well acquainted
with people up here, especially our
political celebrities.
Last Sunday he paid Senator Sloan
great compliment for the aStuteness
with which the latter freed the State
democratic machine into at least one
hole, out of which it could not squirm.
The Ners describes the process as
follows:
The first ptfall prepared by Mr.. Sloan was
ready when he introduced his resolution early
in the session urging the Maryland Senators
and Representatives to vote to retain the duty
on COAL which resulted IN a resolution passed
by the majority telling the same Senators
and Representatives at Washington to vote
as they pleased on the Wilson bill
Again, pit was prepared by the Allegany
statesman when he introduced resolution
thanking Senators German and Gibson for
their efforts to retain the duty on coal and
"other Maryland products" In this latter
hole the Senate decided to remain and by a
be extricated.
The attitude of the democratic party,
as represented by the State Senate, is
Il dubious one.
liz brief. Senators German and Glib
son were first told to follow their own
sweet wills, and, having done so, the
Senate refuses them the poor boon of
a polite "thank you
But Senator Sloan hardly owed it to
Senator German to place him (Gorman)
and his friends in that predicament.
1t was poor return for the concession
to the republican party which Mr..
Germans friends in this county made
to Mr.. Sloan last fall--a concession
which practically permitted Mr.. Sloan's
republican friends to nominate a demo-
cratic legislative ticket which Mr..
Sloan could lick with both hands
tied behind him.
The JOURNAL would not charge Mr..
Sloan with actual ingratitude, but
there must be several Allegany people
inside Mr.. Germans fractional house
hold VINO must be kicking them
selves for allowing Mr.. Sloan an OPP
portumty amounting to cinch to
demonstrate the fact that proposed
''votes of thanks" can be animated
by too much JUNCTION and painted with
too much osteutation.

An Alternatives.

Reader" of the Homecoming Star,
quotes Homecoming figures showing
that goods are still selling down there
at 1893 prices, and repeats
that the miner who told the JOURNAL he
could buy as much for 10 cents as he could a
year ago for 80 cents is "blatherskite," and
the JOURNAL endorsed unreliable information
There is way Of further procing that
the miner and the JOURNAL are right
If "Reade." will come up here we
will satisfy him on this score.
If he will motif he will have his
own way in spite of the facts. we will
continue to show when occasion offers
that the belt which somewhere adorns
the champion blatherskite is now due
in Homecoming.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
\ Political Romance.

Respectfully dedicated to the democratic
statesman who left the party on the occasion
of the republican primary, March 81, 1894
More than several years have faded since my
heart was first invaded
By love for politics on the Jetfersonian-
democratic side;
In the councils of the party was heard-at
the caucus observed,
Bat | have left the ranks of the great "un-
terrified"
To me it was the party of retorm--and It's
the choice of any man;
But the right belongs (as all such things
should belong) to Uncle Sam.
So loved the matchless Grover, and Cor
man IN the clover,
And kept my eye on an office as Is the usual
plan.
Thus till summer was senescent, and the
woods We're lrideScent,
Dolphin tints and hectic hints of what was
shortly coming on;
The convention did assemble and for an office
the delegates my name did mention;
Then | parted broken hearted from the
good old party to which did belong.
As upon the placid water lies the motionless
trigata-
Filings her spars and spidery outlines on
the lucid plain;
But whenever the breeZes bloweth to more
distant oceans goeth-
Never more the old ones ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
more return again.
So is politics eyanescent shifting with the
shifting present
Changing like the changing tide and faith
less as the tickle sea
Lighter than the wind blown thistle, taser
than the fowler's whistle
Was that hoaxing piece of coaxing-thc
democratic party's love for me.
Yes, thou transitory bubble floating on the
sea of trouble
Though the skies be bright above thee soon
will sunny days be gone;
Then when thou'rt by all forsaken, will thy
bankrupt heart awaken
To the golden days of olden tines when to
theeI did belong.
Now | have joined the great old party Of
protection"
For the Wilson bill knocked me, and the
tariff kerfopped me.
But an office I'm expecting, and you'll hear
of me next election
ForI am lin it''-strictly in it, as you will
plainly see The CARTER.

This Ought to be Clear.

Reader" of the Lonacnning Star,
confesses that he has been complete
ly compluded' by the Ne~s-JoURNAL
tariff discussion.
He doesn't know 'tother from which.
The Journal will briefly explain:
The Ne,es ''lets on" to believe that
the circus is IN full tilt before the
horses get into the ring.
The JOURNAL holds that horseback
exercises do not enSue until the steeds
commence "swinging round the circle''
and the beautiful equestriennes begin
euuestrienning.

Try This.

Reader seems to be the same
scholastic who found fault in the
Homecoming Star with the JOURNAL for
employing the active form of the verb.
"learn.'
He prefers the passive, or negative
use OF the term-a second-fiddle rela-
ton for a teacher who is miner, and
somewhat supereroga:ory Office for
miner who is a teacher.
To test this gentleman's exact knowl-
edge of what he is criticising the Jour
NAL will ask him to state literally what
is meant by this statement:
He rents house.
1t must be remembered that the
circumstances have nothing to do with
the case, nor does the meaning of the
writer have any part in determining
what the reader, or "Reader," under
stands from the sentence.
And as the partisan or partisans of
the verb, "learn," will have that term
taken in its passive, or negative sense
only, we must have but one literal
interpretation-one absolutely with
out alternative.
For an answer at all qualified will
establish the JOURNALS use of the
verb, "learn," in its beneficent form as
unassailably correct.

Outbreak of Etfemiuacy.

The miners of Homecoming earned about $50
same month of this year they earned about
SIS. The organ of the operators claims that
the necessarles Of life are now cheaper than
they were at the same period last year, but
even if such was the case what good would
it be if the men earned not enough to buy
even the so-called cheap goods? This reduc-
ton in the price of goods is all delusion and
a snare. Give the miner 50 cents a ton and
he is perfectly willing to buy the necessaries
of life for what they are worth.
Rericm.
1t is probably useless to argue with
a blatherskite through his organ, but
we will venture one question
How much Of 1.-The necessaries of
life especially at high prices, will 50
cents per ton buy if there is no coal to
dig at that rate
The reason of the proposal by the
companies to reduce wages to 40 cents
was to retain as far as practicable the
trade we have.
In other words, to save at 10 cents
what we cannot hold at 80.
The question in the Rerieec's para
graph, therefore, borders too closely
on Mysteries for more serious attention.

Some SkeptiCisIn.

"Reader" in the Homecoming Star,
speaking of his belief that "the
Wilson bill is in a great measure
responsible fol the 20 per cent reduc-
ton" and, continuing:
am justified in this belief, as our operators
assigned it as lone of the causes leading to
this reduction" and those beliefs are verified
and strengthened by Bradstreet's last week s
report, where the shadow" of Wilson's free
trade tariff is assigned as reason for the
present stagnation.
The JOURNAL does not know whether
Reader" has properly quoted Brad
street or not.
There is a vast difference between
what bill in itself proposes and what
Congress disposes.
The uncertainty of the situation is
sufficient to depress business-uncer-
tainty as to final rates, even among
people who want the tariff reformed.
1t may be the office. therefore, of
men like Bradstreet and ''Reader' to
blame provisions with what are in
evitable conditions of any reduction
of indirect taxation.
But the JOURNAL cannot give full
credence to the statement that the
operators laid any special stress upon
the Wilson bill as direct cause of the
recent reduction. They are too smart
to play that card at this stage.
l., The Wilson bill is not yet law
=, And may not be.
Now, let us suppose one OF two
issues
L, That the Wilson bill becomes q
law, with coal on the free list, and
another reduction becomes necessary
will not the Wilson bill card have
been already played
,, That it does not become Il law.
will not the Wilson bill plea in the last
conference prove boomerang in the
next!
The JOURNALS reading of this mat
ter runs this way:
|, No provision in the Wilson bill
forced the recent reduction That was
occasioned wholly by the eliminating
tierceness of domestic competition.
., The Wilson bill will be the cause
of the next reduction, if any.
Meanwhile, let us not call too much
outside attention to our woes as con-
fessed dependents upon the support of
other departments of industry.
