A Doubtful TriulnDh,

The Homecoming RecieW makes much
ado over the result of its libel case.
1t seems to regard judgment against
it of one cent as being somewhat a
vindication of its offense.
This is hardly correct, as will be APP
parent when it is seen that the Reoieao
"will not do so any more One cent
now is only prophetic of what will be
a better financial, though not better
moral result for Robinson hereafter
if the Reoieao repeats the experiment.
1t seems to be evident. too, from the
Reoie,o's account, that its lawyers over
did themselves. 1t had been settled by
the Court that Robinson was entitled
to damages. Then, to keep the amount
low as possible the jury had to be per-
suaded that the Reoiew, with all its
boosted influence, was never able to
do Robinson any more than one cents
worth of injury. In doing this the
lawyers must have borne upon Robin
son harder than the Recie1C ever did or
could-a privilege which the Court had
no right to allow. Lawyers should
not be permitted in any case to do that
which both the Court and jury declared
the Reoien shall not do. But If they
do, they should be held to the same
account newspapers are.
The less growing the Recieao does
over its vindication the better. 1t
saved some dollars-that's all. The
moral gain was made by Robinson.
But if it is a victory for the Reoiew, as
it is inclined to claim, another one and
even its one-cent ability to do harm
will be gone.

Its First DUTY.


The way the Noble Order of North
America has neglected the miners of
West Virginia is a sin against all the
human nature represented in the con-
stitution and bylaws of the walking
delegate system.
For instance-here in Maryland. ere
yet the walking delegate had become
an institution in "the land of the free
and the home of the brave" law was
passed providing for weighing coal at
the mines-a law, no matter what may
be said to the contrary, which has
proven of immense advantage to the
miners.
But in West Virginia, in the full
blaze of that part of the 10Th century
Illuminated by the reign Of the walk
ing delegate, it is still guesswork, and
that by the carpenter who makes a two
ton car big enough to hold nearly or
quite half ton more for good measure.
Now, without intending specially to
show how much better was Maryland
in state of nature. ungladdened by
the light of walking delegatee's eye,
unsoothed by the melody of his tongue,
or unpublished by his ''fine Italian
hand" our purpose really is to init
mate that the time, talk and talent
expended here to ''gild refined gold'
have been lost sacrilegiously lost.
What need, for instance, of a check
weighman where coal is weighed,
while in our largest and nearest com
peting regions weight is reached with
out question by guesswork ?
What need of arithmetic among men
who can aggregate their tons and
hundredweights, when their competi.
tors, who can compute what they dig
only by the number of the cars they
fill, are left to keep their accounts on a
notched stick
1t is no use for the Noble Order to
say that its missionaries cannot get
West Virginia miners to strike for
weights before ever they have any
foundation on which to strike for
wages-because it is within the range
of recent annals that they were able to
persuade them to leave their own
State, where coal is not weighed, to
come to Maryland to force miners
whose coal is weighed away from
work.
Greater power than this the Gar Of
Russia does not own, yet the Noble
Order is guilty Of the supreme in
justice, even now in Pocahontas, Of
urging strike for wages when weight
is the first, the all-important, the vital
desiderutum.
For wages without weight is far
more solemn tragedy than Hamlet
with Hamlet Left Out"

Failure.

When coal company organs talk about the
increase of the market price of coal being
slight and claim that the operators cannot
afford to pay more than As cents ton, they
might be honest in their expressions, as they
usually do not know any better. But in most
instances it is with them a case of attempted
deception. Homecoming Re0iew.
When the ReoieO undertakes to
refute anything it really ought to do
better than that.
For instance, its affectation of
superior knowledge might be but
tressed by only a few quotations from
authentic sources.
But they are not to be had.
Besides, the Reciem, like the Noble
Order, is not fond of statistics, es-
pecially those which are authentic.
1t prefers to speak of avowed in
dependent labor papers as ''coal com
pany organs to accuse them of
Ignorance when they are not dishonest,
and of "attempts" at deception.
This is one way to refute history !;
probably the only way.
But it does not refute.

Sample Question Tenderly Put.

Mr.. Campbell reports Mr.. Richmond
as saying that the mining bill Is con-
stitutional, and that, therefore, the
bill is constitutional.
1t is pretty well understood in the
same connection that whatever Mr..
Richmond may have said of the anti
company store bill in advance, he says
since that it is unconstitutional.
The JOURNAL does not make this
mention to stir up controversy over
dead issues, but question haunts it
is Mr.. Campbell still for the uncon-
stitutional anti company store bill =?
That is. does he approve Mr.. Rich
mond's judgment in the one case and
veto it in the other?

In the House of Its Friends.

In brief review of the judicial his

Alvey in 1890 put the canal on pro-
baton in the hands of the trustees Of
the bondholders of 18Th until Nav.

Apparently these conditions were not full
filled The cost Of repairing the damage by
the great freshet was greater and the time re-
quired to complete them longer than was
anticipated. Then there was strike in the
coal mines and long interruption of traffic
by drought
Poor canal. AS though the hostility
of the elements, reinforced by West
Virginia rapacity, were not enough
the poor old victim, on trial for
its life, had been stabbed in the house
of those who should have been, of all
others, its best friends, by "a strike in
the coal nints.'
If industrial history affords an in-
stance wherein the strike, always out
of place, was more iuoportunely con
celved and unhappily projected, the
JOURNAL is unaware of it.
To very many miners this very strike
was "a deadly assault directly upon
their own bread and butter.

a Crisis.


The canal is again at critical stage
of its being.
Principal and interest computed to
date, and it owes somewhere between
80 and 30 million dollars. or about &C
times more than the higher offer made
for it last fall by corporation not
now probably in a position to bid, and
100 times more than West Virginia's
speculative figure.
The life Of the canal as a waterway,
in palmer terms. seems to be in the
hands of the Court of Appeals, with
sufficient unfavorable prejudgment
evident to excite the worst apprehen-
sions of all who do not wish it to pass
into the hands of our stock jobbing
competitors over in West Virginia.
For years these people have had
their eyes fixed on the towpath as ''the
one thing needful' to make the Elk
Garden coal and West Virginia Central
railroad properties worth anything,
even in a speculative sense. A rail
road outlet past the Blue Ridge has
been and is the summum 6onum of their
speculative greed.
A road bed costing IL few hundred
thousand dollars, with the addition of
million in ties and rails, would be
capitalized quickly away up in the
millions.
Then the whole business-coal re-
gion and railroad, would be for sale,
and the property which Maryland
could get only few hundred thousand
dollars for, will be held at millions

and it is enthused with missionaries
zeal and energized by missionary s
purpose. 1t is travelling in double bar
ness, with no brakes on--not even a
constitutional rubber, toward rescuing
this region from Its owners. The firm
seems determined not to stop until it has
foreclosed the mortgage which every
miner has on his employment, so that
the mines can be run to suit those who
do not own them. In fact, the firm
seems TO occupy an attitude toward
