OnIyOne Side.

A miner, writing to the Fairmont
CIV. Va.) Inder, asks
Have any of the agitators told us anything
about the sickness and distress caused by
fever in New England mine last summer
and what the company did for those thus
afflicted?
Perhaps they haven't heard Oft.
In some instances entire families would lie
for weeks. Well what of it? Did the COM
pany turn them over to the charity Of the
community or county? No, they furnished
them with plenty to eat; the company doctor
attended them, the milk wagon called daily
and good nurses were furnished. Nothing
said about anything like that-only strike
Another TACT Is, IN some instances when
those sick people got well and able to work,
they sought employment elsewhere, and
never said goodbye.
From the agitators' point of view
there is only one side to the strike
question.
That side Is "strike"-no matter
how large or helpless the family, or
how pressing the need of work.
AS was said here on one occasion in
1881
If the company ever does anything for
you, it is bride.
If the company, therefore. furnishes
the means to bury an unfortunate
victim of even his own neglect the
agitator calls it "a bribe," and if the
surviving widow and children continue
to occupy the house rent-free it is de-
nounced as "done for show"
To the agitator there Is no virtue in
anything except the charity of agita-
ton. He is the true benefactor and
his the only mission of mercy. This
is true, because she, himself, hath said
it.r

HaIi.DOne DUTY.

Under the heading of Law Points,"
credited as Recent Decisions of High
er Courts the JOURNAL very recently
found this observation
A contract against public policy will not be
enforced in favor Of either party.
A rather ambiguous statement, but
meaning that "a contract against pub
lie policy will not be enforced'' at all.
The minority of Council correctly
held that the five-year contract is
"against public policy''-a contention
which the majority did not deny.
Yet the minority, although repre-
senting the right, did not feel that they
should see the right win.
If the same spirit had animated the
fathers Of liberty, America would not
to-day be 1.-THE land of the free and the
home of the brave.'

Another Notion Punctured.

But Others who are not so determined to re-
main blind rather than see by the light which
comes from sources which they despise, will
understand that the raising of prices of the
things producer has to sell will benefit the
producer, although the prices of things he
has to buy may be raised proportionately-
because the producer has more to sell than
he needs to buy.-Cumberland Independent
That cannot be true.
No man has more to sell than he
needs to buy.
The merchant sells no more goods
than he purchases.
The laborer sells no more labor than
he can supply.
In short, there is not nor can be
more consumption than production.
The independent, for instance, cannot
sell any more paper than it buys, nor
dispose of any more labor, skill and
editorial error than it can command.
People do not buy what is not to be
had, no matter how much they may
need it.
Truth is, the world Of trade is like
the ocean-there is so much of it and
no more. Last year there was lack of
precipitation on this side of the globe !;
this year we have been drenched. Last
yearth Russian wheat crop was super
abundant, this year it is short.
Hence, more of our material JOYS
and substantial sorrows come from the
mutations of natural conditions than
short-sighted economists ever dream of.
And at last what is called "pros-
perity" is merely the food-tde of an
ocean whose waters are famed by the
trade-winds of exchange and purified
by the salt of gold-standard money.
"Prosperity" is anti-stagnation.

Hon. d. E. DICK:
DeW Gir-We have been anxiously

We thought that when you led the

Mr.. Supplee and his soldier comrades
that you at least were honest enough
to be frank when you ask us to further
promote your political interests.
1T you are afraid of the Governor

change. You were not afraid of him
when you were at Hagerstown fight

his administration from passing the

your heart when you SO adj " denounced
him as man and Governor in RAJ

not now want to believe that the gift
he bestowed on you at the expense of
W. B. Baird has purchased your man

"COne Out"

The Cumberland Independent alleges
some gold-standard reasons why the
Hon. David. E. Dick should answer
the questions submitted to him by
Cumberland Enquirer" through the
JOURNAL a few weeks ago. The next
paragraph embodies sample:
His refusal to make prompt answer leaves
but one inference-he does not want the
people to know where he stands But the
people have right to know. Those who
favor Gov. Lowndes for Senator should not
be expected to vote for Mr.. Dick unless they
are assured that he is for Lowndes, and those
who are opposed to Gov. Lowndes should not
be expected to vote for Mr.. Dick unless he is
opposed to Lowndes.
That is correct-"he people haze q
right to 6now."
The JOURNAL understands, however,
that, Notwithstanding the Homecoming
Reyieao's promise for him, Mr.. Dick
twill answer no questions"-th that he
is not on the witness-stand, etc.

the eight or nine districts claimed for
him as sure can afford to stand by
silent, non-committal policy concern
ing the leading, vital question Of the
campaign.
This question, it ought to be stated,
is one of far-reaching Importance.
There is no telling how far few votes
at the primaries in this county in close
contest may go in the settlement or con-
tinued unsettlement of a disquleting
national issue-no telling how much
good on the one hand or evil on the
other a few humble ballots may ac
complish.
Besides this overpowering consldera

dwindles to nothingness.

A camp of ex-Confederate soldiers
has been organized in Cumberland.
The Homecoming Star has espoused
the cause of Hon. David E. Dick and
already "salutes' him as "Senator."
The Star is too prior.
The JOURNAL believes it is the first
to discover in the Hon. d. E. Dick the
ligatu1e which will bind the Iona
coming papers closer than David and
Jonathan--so close that people can
speak of one as Chang Rerie,c, the
other as Eng Star. Both are for Dick.
Then why should not peace, sweet

The most absurd if not amusing
tldHodStlou ludt IL has ever Deeu my
lot to witness took place in the
Council Chamber last Monday even
ing.
One of the most competent bailiffs
that ever served the town, Mr.. Samuel
Bowen, rendered his resignation to
the Mayor and Council, and, surprising
as it may seem. one of his bondsmen
Mr.. C. f. Nickel, who is a member of
the Council, proceeded to oppose the
motion to accept Mr.. Bowen's resigna-
ton on the ground that the accounts
of Mr.. Bowen should be examined be-
fore the acceptance of the resignation.
In response to Mr.. Nickel's request the
very same members of the Council
who were so hasty short time ago in
making Il contract to light the town
yielded aud deferred the matter for
two weeks.
Now, what l would like to know is
this-do the members of Council know
that they should have given more time
to the consideration of giving s., 500 of
the towns money to one light plant,
to the exclusion of the other plant of
the town, for five years without a
moments consideration, while these
same people have consented to take
into the consideration for two weeks
the chances of some particular favorite
of Mr.. Nickel to get $500 or $500 a
year? Is four times the amounts Just
named of the peoples money of less
consequence than the smaller sums?
Never in my life have | seen such
childish proceedings in so simple a
matter as in awarding the contract for
lighting the town and trying to accept
the esignation of the bailiff.
1t is to be profoundly regretted that
so many citizens attended the Council
meeting to witness the resignation of
an $500 officer and so few were pres
ent at the awarding of fve-year con-
tract to light the town at 1882 per
year, With more ares to follow.
