The acoustic conditions of the court

lawyers want them remedied. When

ago and said y. Semmc5 Devecmon

who at once rushed into the courthouse
found David J. Lewis in full tilt, brakes
off and in loud momentum. All this, Of
course, Is embarrassing, even to pris-

Sloan sentenced him to the House of
Correction, although judge Stake said

understood as testlfying that the ac-

Frank S. Davidson will be here to-
day, which means that "Old Farmer
Hopkins" will be on hand this evening
at Ravenscrofts' Opera House. The
Meyersdale (Pa.) Commercial sizes up
this troupe about right:
We all know Frank Davidson and his
company-they are yearly visitors. They
always give us a good, clean, honest comedy
entertainment. One runs no risk by securing
a ticket for their appearance; they always
give value received.

The fact is that those who voted for silver
were the reverse of "igtoruutij'-they were
the only portion possessing enlightenment
upon the money question. And such papers
us the Journal are responsible for the
ignorance Of the unenlightened portion. They
kept their readers IN the dark as to the true
meaning and intent of free coinage at the
ratio of l6 to l.-Oakland, (Md) De,nocrat
In lieu of argument upon this point,
will the "enlightened' Democrat fairly
and frankly state what is 1.-The true
meaning aud intent of free coinage
at the ratio of lG to T. as declared in
the platform adopted 10y the last State
convention of its party?
Was the Democrat Il hypocrite then,
or did it afterward drop its convictions
as gentlemen shed their pants =?
Let US have no equivocation, but a
straightforward, manly reply.
Upon which depends the nature of
further comment.

Certainly but you didn't take your
gold and silver to the mint, because
you got more for it in market.
The farmer, for instance. is not apt

can get more in market, as has often
been the case.
The country prospered in spite of
the privilege Of free coinage in fact,
free coinage. what little there was of
it, was an incident and in no wise,
sense or degree cause of prosperity.
Then the Democrat concludes
How could it (the indianapolis platform)

4 Badly Located PaDcr.

Quoting from the Baltimore SIN a
brief account of the recent strike at
Manor mine, Tncle Sam says
There is also dissatisfaction among the
Allegany county miners regarding the
method" Of weighing coal. The present
mining law contemplates an actual weighing
of coal, but it is said this is not done When
the coal cars come out of the mine they are
run across the scales and the weignmaster is
supposed to weigh the coal IN the exceedingly
short space of time in which the car is pass
ing over the scales.
In the Manor mine case inspector
Hohing had the men themselves test
the scales by platform scales used at a
store near by, and the result verified
the accuracy Of the coal scales.
He then went to the books of the
company and found that the average
tonnage per car Tailed with the
average between the largest and
smallest car.
SO impressed were the men by Mr..
Hohing's demonstrations that they
held II meeting, extended him a vote
of thanks and resumed work next
morning
The JOURNAL has not seen so much
sense displayed among miners since
the disease of socialism has been
propagatcd among them.
Had this mine been located Just across
the river, where there are no scales,
accurate or inaccurate, the miners
could not have struck against weight
But it seems that the more that il
done for them by law the more pre-
texts are afforded them for kicking.
1t seems also that where there is a
crying call for scales there is no Unclc
San to blubber over every alleged
instance of corporate depravity.

Victim of OverwOrlx.

The Frostburg JOURNAL, after quoting from
Senator PETER the statement that ''populsm
must no longer play second fiddle to knight
Grant democracy, asks "is the Cumberland
Ltdcpcndtnt fer or fcrninst?'
The independent has not the time Just now
to smoke out the laugh from the JOURNALS
puns-nor do we feel called upon to waste
efforts in penetrating the intellect of chronic
wanderers to make them understand they
have left the true fold-as J. P. Gaffney used
to say, that would take a surgical opera
ton, '-Cumberland Independent.
1t is Il pity the independent is so busy.
1t is missing a lot Of fun by per-
hitting the pressure which comes
from want of 'time" to interfere with
its method Of "smoking' when rec
ondite ''laugh' must be freed.
1t is equally unfortunate that It gives
up It's missionary office before the
mission Of ''reclaitaing "chronic wan
| derers" is over-''wandercrs,' too,
whom the populistic branch of the
| democratic church cannot get along
without.
1t is most fortunate. however, that
the independent does not approach the
performance of any OF its Offices by
the ''surgical' route.

among the Miners"

We will nail this statement to the mast
head Of this column, and we invite discussion
on the subject
There is no reason why, under government
ownership of mines, the 0jnim"n, rate of
work and wages should not be: four hours a
day, and 81 an hour.-Cumbcrla EncIe
SdHNci.
There is equally no reason why at
the same time the farmer should work
more than eight hours a day, the miller
six hours, and flour sell at less than $l2
barrel.
In which event there would still be
people making Il living out Of a vain
discussion Of the question-why, after
all our legalized idleness, are we no
better off
