"A just Decision.

AT Chambersburg, Pa, recently boy
kicked little girl at recess. When school
was dismissed the boy was called forward for
punishment but refused to go, and when
force was used he drew knife upon the
teacher. The latter conquered, however,
and gave the lad thrashing which drew
blood. The father Of the boy had the teacher
arrested for assault and battery. The pre-
siding judge said the boys act was one of in
subordinatlon and that it had to be decided
then and there who was the head of the
school. In the opinion of the judge the
whipping was not too severe. The jury
agreed with him and the cost of the proseCu-
ton was placed on the boys father.-Balti-
more SIM.
This case is respectfully but firmly
commended to the attention of those
West Virginia newspapers who be-
lieve that under the auspices of moral
suasion the teacher, when nothing else
will do, should surrender, or, what is
worse, send the boy away without an
education.

AnotherV Voice for Good Oil.


FRosTBURG, MD, June H. 1896.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In your issue of May 30 there was Il
very timely article on the inferior oil
that is used by miners and drivers in
this region.
The miners oils bad. But O, when
the driver rushes into ones room with
car and big torch light on his cap
supplied by black strap and coal oil
mixed, then woe to the miner who can
hardly see his "butties" any more that
day. Their own oil-four-ffths coal
oil also, thrown in, places them in a
pitiable state the remainder Of the
day.
Is it any wonder that we are aged
and short winded before we reach forty
or fifty years, when we should be in
the prime of life?
If our legislators would enact law
like the miners have in Ohio, what a
blessing they would confer on their
fellow-workmen!
In Ohio every man and boy employ
ed in the mines must burn No. l lard
oil, and it is the duty of the nine IN
spector every time he visits the mines
to see that the oil is up to the required
standard.
Let US have a law to the same effect.
1t will cost no more to any person but
the miner, and it will pay us tenfold
in improved health and strength.
Yours, AN OLD MINER.

A speck of Organized Indignation.

A Speck of Organized Indignation.
There is or was trouble in Baltimore.
Friedenwald & Co., rats, took the
contract for registration printing at a
figure about $4,000 less than it has
been done by Dulany & Co., cats.
The Typographical Union protested
and actually threatened to tell the
Federation of Labor about it.
But the Board, awfully scared no
doubt, said that
in giving out the contract they had not
considered anything but the city's interests
the best work for the least money.
Then the Federation took hold, pre-
ambled and resoluted the whole bus
mess as wanton destruction of the
"hlgher life"
In fact, the city was in effect &C
cused of the crime of favoring the in
terests of the masses at the expense of
the classes!
This is only one of several recent
instances cropping out to show that
elsewhere, as here, there is a determi-
nation on the part of the community's
self-elected pets ''to continue to enjoy
the same great blessing"

Case in Point.

Judge tells this:
The colored sexton of st. Peters church
has a very stylish mulatto wife.
Asking for a bigger salary, he gave as a
reason-
It's mighty hard to keep sealskin wife
on a muskrat salary.
Under the Frostburg- Westernport
meridian when we imagine a similar
situation arises we strike.
Or indulge lectures on the so-called
benefits of "organization," which is
nothing more nor less than the stand
ing preliminary to strike.
If the sexton doesn't strike, there
fore, the JOURNAL can read to him a
homlly from the Homecoming Recieso

"organize."
