all know, came out the winner and was
nominated and elected, as would Mr..
Pearre, or any other man. have been
had the convention chosen any other
of the candidates before them.
Mr.. Pearre could not have made any
more promises than did Mr.. yelling
ton. How much better he would have
kept them none can tell. But let us
pass that for the present aud look
at what as happened since. Mr..
Wellington was elected delegate to
the State convention, and his advice
was listened to by that body, and his
choice for Governor named by the
convention. Mr.. Wellington was
later houored by being elected as a
delegate to Oakland, aud his chosen
candidate named for Judge. Mr..
Wellington was honored by being
chosen Chairman of the State Central
Committee to conduct the campaign
in which these men We're to be elected
or defeated SO well did he manage
it that not only were his friends
elected, but so was the State Legisla-
ture, body which further horored
him by electing hlm United States
Senator. He will have eight years in
which to make good his promises to
his friends-the laboring men.
Now word for Mr.. Pearre. While
Mr.. Wellington defeated him for Con
gresslonal hon rs he was not without
friends, but year later was elected as
delegate to Oakland and joined hands
with Mr.. Wellington in nominating
candidate for Judge and supported
him as Loyalty as did Mr.. Wellington.
Later he was further honored by be-
ing nominated aud elected States
Attorney by a large majority.
From all these well-known facts |
draw the conclusion that, AS Mr..
Wellington is in post on to redeem all
his pledges and promises, why not
give Pearre chance to make for him
self a reputation among national
leaders by sending him as d-legate-at
large from this State to the National
Convention. and he. too, will have
brief opportunity to fulfill some OF his
promises aud pledges, if he made any.
! do not know whom he favors for
President, but | believe he will will
ingl ~ and honestly vote for any can
didate the republicans of the State or
district will choose.

only the work and materials involved,
the profit made by the city weekly at
81 is much greater than that of the
country weekly at $1.50.
Then, whatever local news the city
weekly has, If any, is in most instances
rehash of the local papers work, or
it is boiled down to the merest re-
siduum of statement.
SO that the subscriber who prefers
the city weekly on account of the
difference of 80 cents year saves the
90 cents, but he loses a great deal more
incidentally and consequentially.
Just now, for Instance, if he be a
miner and looks sharply, he will see
that his dollar has purchased for him
some implied Reproduction as one of
the causes of the high prices of coal in
the city where the weekly is published
He is innocent, of course, but the
city weekly helps thousands to believe
that he is guilty.
For the city weekly has absorbed
the fallacy that, no mater how low
the prices of coal. they are still too
high.
This information, which ISLANDERS
alike the miners, railroads and coal
merchants, really costs the city weekly
nothing, because 1t has been already
paid for by the city readers of the city
daily.
Hence, the dollar with which the
miner buys it is not only almost net
profit to the concern that owns the
paper, but it is tribute paid which
endorses in the most practical way the
city papers contention that the miner,
among others, is getting too much for
his work that the miner. among
others, is taxing the necessities of the
poor, and that the miner, among
others. is thus guilty of the most
fragrant of all extortions.
To the true miner the city weekly is
dear at nothing.

His Lot Not a Happy One.

1t is just possible that the reverend
Thomas Dixon, of New York, ought to
be suppressed. Speaking of 1.-THE
coal combine he said:
Under the laws it was impossible to pre-
vent these people from combining and in
creaslng the price of coal. The result will be
that people will starve for want of heat coal
being as essential as water, Factories will
stop that cannot afford to pay the proposed
increase of 40 cents a ton, people will be
thrown out of employment and the people
will freeze. The members of the coal com
bne are guilty of murder, he said, just as
much so as if they had driven daggers into
the hearts of their victims. The men who
have gone into this combine, he added, have
gone into it for the sake of the dividends,
for the money that there is in it, regardless
of the necessities of the people.
This diatribe gives rise to a whole
lot of questions. We proffer only two:
|. Suppose one Of the objects of the
combine in raising the price Of coal is
to raise correspondlng!y the rate of
mlnlnS WaSeS-NOulu tIllt bt ullutl
., Or suppose it was the miners, not
the combine, who, succeeding IN "a
strike for more wages, had raised the
cost of coal to the city poor, would the
miners also be guilty of murder .
The JOURNAL quotes Mr.. Dixon for
two purposes
|, To show the miners that com
bne is combine, and where the re-
suit is the same, it is as much so among
the miners as among the sellers of
coal, and
2, To show them also that IN order
to sell coal at figures that justify both,
it is Mr.. Dixon's sort of damnatlon
that sellers of coal have to encounter,
and this more frequently than is re-
ported.
SO, gentlemen miners, whenever you
are tempted to strike, remember tina,
you are building a fire IN the rear Of
the man who, to sell your coal, has
two in his front-one that flames IN
the newspaper and another that blazcs
in the pulpit.

New York Fashion Notes


Cotton dress goods in Persian style with
metal woven into them will be very popular
during the summer season. Grass cloth Is
another fashionable fabric. Some varieties
have twilled stripes while others have fancy
plaids and designs in various colors The
shirt waist of this season is easily recognized
by immense dropping bishop sleeves which
are usually finished with a turn over cuff
These shirt waists are especially satisfactory
because of their adjustable collars. Other
fancy waists are made up in the cotton
crepons which appear in large plalds of
brilliant colors and in dotted Swiss muslin
the latter being very charming in design this
season. They Me much embroidered and
ornamented with Dresden effects These
waists are more or less adorned with tatleta
ribbons which are announced by importers
to be the principal feature of the summer
toilette. These new ribbons are seen in
chine effects with large designs of flowers in
bright colors. The most fashionable sleeve
has medium fullness which begins below
the shoulder. A small puff with a shirred
under sleeve is one of the favorite modes
The spring skirts have less fullness than
formerly. One sees the circular front with
fewer ripples and the rulness massed in the
center of the back forming four, five or six
rolling cores.

Financial Blindness.

There are traces of news aper favor
in West Virginia for free silverism
That brand of finance ought to
flourish over there, although it would
take over 36S long tons of white
bullion to pay the daughters share of
the principal of the old mothers debt.
If paid in gold, however, half of an
express car could carry the money to
Richmond
But if paid in white bullion it would
take two freight trains Of ears each
to deliver the metal.
Then the people in England, to
whom the debt is at last due, wouldn't
have it.
But to go back where we slarted-a
State that pretends to owe no debt
ought to be the very last to favor so
per cent. debt-payine dollar.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
Will you please allow space in your
valuable paper fora few suggestions
|, Is 1t not time our people were
considering who they want for Presi-
dent? If so, then is it not time also
that we should be thinking who of our
leaders should be chosen to go to St.
Louls-provided we have IL leader in
the county who is in sympathy with
our choicee Or, if not in the county.
then one from Any part of the Con-
gressional District who will carry our
will to ST. Louis, and one from the
State at large for the same purpose ,
Allegany county cannot cl0im all
these honors, but if A.legany can
produce II man for delegate-af-l large
who will represent the choice OF this
District and State, let us bring him to
the front and at least offer him to the
State and Congressional Conventions.
1t is well known that Maj. Mckinley
has great number of friends in the
mining region, and if the district be
for him also, let US find man for
delegate who will pledge himself to
carry ont that choice at St. Louis.
If the district be for someone else.
then bring out II man for whoever the
majority Is for, or who will pledge
himself to vote for the man We want
ut the head of the ticket.
"A little over n year ago we were
carried through heated contest for
Congress between two of our leaders

were sincere. Mr.. Wellington, as we

Let Us Know.

The New York World assumes credit
for the let-up of the so-called "coal
trust last week. 1t SAYS:
The postponement until April of further
advance i'll prices is attributed to the condi-
ton of the market but it is likely that the
attention given by the II'orid to the conspiracy
and the prospect of hostile legislation in both
New York and New Jersey have had more to
do with 1t than the condition of the market.
Let us suppose that the UorM is
correct.
Then let us assume that instead of
the 'coal trust in New York we
should have the coal trust represented
by 1.-The OSceola Plan succeeding in
putting up the prices of coal, would
that trust be ii Conspiracy" amenable

a correspondent of the Coal Trade
Jo"rnol says:
The b, and o. has fallen by the waysidc.
and is another example of doing business at
less than cost. Norfolk and Western,
Chesapeake and Ohio and L. anG O. all haul
ing immense quantities of btuminous coal,
and yet failing to pay fixed charges.
This is one of the leading facts OF
the business that does not ut all coincide
with the theory Of the late Populst
party of this region.

a Great PrincipIc at Stake.

The AunaI oils correspondent of the
Cumberland Necs says
Mr.. Ohr has introduced a bill that will
probably have the effect of reducing the pop
uation Of the House of Correction very ma
terially. Mr.. Ohr's bill provides that the of
ticer shall receive, in addition to his railroad
fare and actual expenses incurred in the trip
the sum of seventy-tive cents. Few officers
in Allegany county will care to take a prisoner
to Jessups cut for such a fee and it is expect
ed there will be fewer commitments.
Which may be more in the interest
of economy than good order.
However, if it be good thing in
either or both respects, Mr.. Ohr can
follow it by introducing and pressing
through a bill relieving the country
people Of the small burden Of paying
about two-thirds of the cost of Cum
berland city elections.
We mention Mr.. Ohr because
/, He seems to be an economist,

., The ci,y's interest obliges its rep
resentative to take the lead in meas
ure which should lift the city from a
posture which, when properly consid-
cred. must be derogatory, both to its
good name and self-1espect.
The country people have not. nor
do they want any voice in city affairs.
Hence, any municipal purpose sub
served in any degree at their expense
is taxation without representation
and taxation without representation
has been known to be ''tyranny" for
243 wears.

He .ii1ht.

Tuesday when the Bruce bill giving
the Mayor of Baltimore absolute power
of appointment came up in the State
Senate on its final passage there was a
general explanation of votes.
Ii was the old issue of issues-the
one that has been uppermost ever
since the first hero of human rights
questioned 'the divine right of kings
whether any civil emergency ever
iusiifies an appeal to antocratic power.
No wonder it Is reported that
Mr.. Sloan, of Allegany, found himself in
very uncomfortable position. He would
like to vote to sustain a republican Mayor,
but he thought the proposed measure dan
gerous Governors and Mayors were liable
to make mistakes. Even the President of
the United States was not allowed to exercise
these monarchical powers without the con-
sent of the Senate
Well said, aud in saying it Mr..
Sloan formulates platform that all
parties can safely and happily occupy.
A division of power implies a
division of responsibility, and the
largest division of responsibility at
last falls back upon the people them
selves.
And the people en- mGSse can be trusted
to do themselves no harm.
Skin the Other.
The two antitrust bills suggested by the
Attorney General as necessary to a successful
prosecution ofthe Coal trust have passed the
Assembly. If the Senate will promptly
concur and the Governor approve, the people
of New York may be able to discover whether
the corporations are really stronger than the
State New York World.
But what will the people of New
York do when that other Coal Trust,
tie Knights of Labor in Pennsylvania,
not only quit work themelves but stop
everybody els+ from digging and fur
nishing coal
The law which protects the city poor
by laying its iron hand on the exact
ing coal merchant ought as we'll sock
its leadeu heel on the eXtortonate
coal digger.
The latter is as bad as the other
perh ps worse. In order to wiring
high prices from the clutching fingers
OF penury it first cuts off the supply and
then pretends to ''regulate' it. 1t
freezes It's victims and then prescribes
the amount Of warmth to which they
are afterward entitled.
When, therefore, New York has
enacted Il law to punish the one, that
State should never rest until it had in
duced Pennsylvania to scourge the
other.
