The Noble orders Golden Rule.


The news contained in the next
paragraph comes from the sunny
South:
Alabama coal operators have effected deal
with the Southern railway to cover the coal
market among the Mississippi sugar planta-
tons south of Greenville, heretofore occupied
by the Pennsylvania operators. This trade
takes about / 800 900 tons annually, most of
which has been shipped from Pittsburg by
river The deal includes freight rates from
Birmingham to Greenville low enough to
enable Alabama to meet the Pennsylvania
alI-water route prices, and a fleet of barges to
transport the coal from Greenville south and
ample facilities at Greenvile, which the
Southern railroad will provide
lin the course of human events
the loss of an accustomed demand for
one and a-half million tons of coal,
thus occasoned, will be felt by the
river miners.
What are they likely to d. ABOUT it ?
Something like whether put up
to it or not by the professional labor
evangelist:
They will go to the operators and
demand an increase of wages on the
ground that loss of work makes it i'm
possible for them to earn living.
The cause of the loss is then fully ex-
llained to them, but explanations, no
matter what they are, no matter how
true, no matter how wellknown OF all
men, 90 in one ear and out the other of
the miner who wants more cents per ton
as the number of tons is decimated by
work that has gone to his brothers
elsewhere.
To the operator the finale is something
like this-he finds that the misfortune
of Alabama competition, which takes
from him his pro rata of the sale OF
fifteen hundred thousand tons, bad
enough in itself, has become an argu
ment which proposes to compel him
to pay for the digging of that fifteen
hundred thousand tons anyway.
In short, he finds that no matter
how much the Pennsylvania operator
may lose to the Alabama operator,
one thing is certain that in Noble
Order ethics the Pennsylvania miner
shall not lose anything to the Alabama
miner

We Might DO Worse.

With reassessment bill as with running
newspaper, it is impossible to please every
body.-Cumberland News.
For that reason some folks think we
ought not to have a re-assessment Act.
But wouldn't it work badly if the
same Argument should prevail against
the existence of newspapers
Seriously, however. the JOURNAL
feels that the results of new assess
ment, unless it is searching enough to
bring to view all taxable property.
will be a disappointment to its promo
tiers in both the State and this county.
A drastic measure is sure to pre-
duce litigation, and any other kind is
almost equally sure to establish a re
duced basis.
On the whole, therefore, if the
Legislature adjourns leaving the status
quo undisturbed, it is not likely that a
calamity will ensue.

The regular democratic organ speaks
glibly of the 106, 900 people who voted
for Mr.. Hurst as THE Old Guard"
This is erroneous.
Thousands voted for Mr.. Hurst
under protest.
They endorsed him only as the repre-
sentative of an evil they believed less
in magnitude than the competing
lniquity.
They are, therefore, the sort of an

How IT Was Done.

The passage of the SC, called mining
bill by the House Tuesday evening
was an act of peculiar legislative
atrocity.
That it obtained seventy votes
doesn't argue, however, that the sixty
five from other portions of the State
gave the measure any serious consid-

So Strong and Yet So Weak.

Is it not little funny that Il force
that can muster seventy votes for
unconstitutional measures can't knock
out the Constitution itself?
At least the other day it couldn't
"faze" the military, which is the last
resort for upholding the Constitution.

He Should be Remembered.

The Baltimore Herald says that Delegate
Ohr of Allegany, has ambitions for the
Congressional nomination from this District
Great C;rsar, and has it come to this?"-
Cumberland Times.
Why not?
Mr.. Ohr has secured more legislation
that will stand judicial test than any
representative the county has in the
lower House.
The only measure We can think of
that would 60 swimmngly through the
same ordeal that he has not tried to
secure is the one which would relieve
the county of paying his citys election
expenses.
For this neglect of the city's self
respect and good name Cumberland
should put a rod in soak for all his
future aspirations.

Beautiful Architectural SpecimOnS to Be
 Seen In Small Towns.
 It was my privilege to see ten of the cathedrals of England, and situated, as some of them are, in small towns, one comes on visiting them t0 know more of the life of the people than the tourist can attain who flies from one great city to another, says writer in the Springfield Republican. Each traveller will have his favorite among them, and all have their excellences and defects.
 Some of them are partially spoiled by the smoke of the town, and any res clean 1t of. Such is the case with York and Lincoln and to greater ex- tent with Peterborough, whose magnid- cent facade, or, rather, architects con- ception of it, is best appreciated by the study of 8 photograph. As the English are not inclined to the apotheosis of dirt, they have ill many cases removed the disgrace in recent years, and Peter borough itself is now made glorious within in all the marvellous beauty of its cream white stone. When these buildings are not in smoky towns, the atmosphere, after the lapse of ages, has sometimes heightened the architectural effect, so that Ely grows old gracefully and Salisbury even beautifully. Sails bury and Canterbury seem well nigh perfect. Tn Durham the marble columns are marred by 8 puerile fluting The towers of York are not all finished. The wonderful central tower of Lincoln has lost its pinnacles The great facade of Peter borough is out of proportion to the building. The external effect of Ely is too much like a fortress. The spires of Litchfeld arc not mates in color and are somewhat ornate, but upon Canterbury and Salisbury the eye rests content. And yet he is little to be envied who would not find intoxicating joy in every one of these, so great are they, and in their varied power so lifting the beholder above and beyond all incidental defects, and 1t is quite to the credit of the young woman from Springfield who is said to have burst into tears at the sight of Westminster abbey.

been quite getten-when the memo rable outburst. occurred which saved Pompeii for the modern world by sud denly converting it's site into a vast ex- panse of ashes. Nothing so tragic, it may be hoped, is in store for the pleas ant city by the Fiber. Movements of the earth have occurred many time and oft, and have done nothing worse than give frights to the nervous and feed the superstition of the vulgar.
 The fall of Caesar was heralded by one of these convulsions but, as far as our information goes, the only analogy to be cited from a recent experience was the precipitate descent of a marble shield bearing the arms of Spain. Had 1t been the emblazonry of Portugal, a mystic significance might, just now, have been suspected. But enough ma terial damage was occasioned to justify the concern created. The earthquake was no respecter of persons, for it awoke the venerable pontiff from his light slumbers in the Vatican, and reused the Inmates of the prisons to frantic efforts to break through their barricades. So much more precious is life than liberty.

The Origin of Bonnros.

It is just as we'll that the police and the insurance companies object to bon fires on election days, indifferent to the fact that street urchins are simply reviv- ing the rites of Baal and Moloch. When Christianity ruled, old ways and cus- toms could not be abolished, and so the heather, still hankering after the an Cient deities, but half controlled by pope pr bishop, made their bonf1res on the eve of St. Peter or St. John. One use of bontires ill the not so far distant past was as a means of disinfection. In his History of the Plague" Defoe tells of bonflres in London streets. There is req son to suppose that in kindling such fires there was still a remnant of super stition left. It was in a measure 8 sac- rif1ce to Baal. As to the excellence of the method of making fires to drive away plague, the benefit would be questionable. Anyhow it may be dwelt upon as the earliest effort made toward cremation, for it was of some slight use when an infected neighborhood caught fire and was reduced to ashes; but then the remedy might have been worse than the disease. e.-New York Times.
