Legislation for Miners.

For number of sessions of the West
Virginia Legislature, efforts have been made
to enact laws providing for the weighing of
coal before tits screened to abolish company
stores and to prevent the payment of miners
in script. Laws on each of these subjects
have heretofore been inactive as they have
invariably been held unconstitutional in the
courts. The present Legislature is beginning
to wrcstle with the matter again, and while
as heretofore, that body seems anxious to
have such laws, the great difficulty appears
in so constructing them as to stand the test
of the courts.--Cumberlan Newa.
The JOURNAL cannot see how a law
"providiug for the weighing of coal
can be unconstitutional.
Nor one prohibiting the payment of
wages in script.
Nor yet one prohibiting company
stores that abuse their privileges.
In Allegany county no such laws are
now necessary. Here coal is weight d,
gold standard money is paid, and Il
company store cannot he distinguished

or several:
Eighty-tive per cent. of the great lawyers,
merchants and statesmen, scholars and pro-
fessional men Of the United States come from

charged by the goIdbugs with being an
ignorant class of people.
That is TO say, that after the farmers
have become great lawyers. mcr-
chants and statesmen, scholars and

bugs" are made, they ten ''charge"
themselves with being IAN ignorant

The West Virginia Debit.

Some time last spring the keyser
CIV. Na.) Echo claimed to have dis
covered that West Virginia lowed no
part of Virginia's ante-war debit
The Echo's examination of the sub
ject, however, seemed to be too limited
and superficial to arrive at a just CON
clusion. 1t evidently did not see the
Wheeling ordinances at all
The Echo also said the debt
cannot be definitely settled until the
mother State wants to settle tia condition
which has never existed and is not likely to
exist i'll the present generation.
The Echo might now read with some
profit a letter which appeared in the
Cumberland Times of Wednesday,
last week, showing that It is not only
entirely mistaken, but that there are
rocks ahead for its ship of State.
Eventually West Virginia must
settle. the sooner the better.
For the probability is-that settle
ment upon her own terms in 1868 will
save at least TWO millions of dollars.

Matter of Doubt.

The Baltimore SIN, speaking OF the
Cumberland project for "the city to
own and operate its own lighting
plant" concludes that
1t does not seem likely that it would pay
Cumberland to go into the enterprise unless
it extends its service to private consumers,
Just as the water service is used.
The JOURNAL used to entertain the
idea that municipalities, like Frost
burg, should own and conduct its
water and light plants, but experience
has modified it very considerably.
The idea, confessedly Il good one, is
spoiled by the too frequent changes in
administration of municipal affairs
and the baneful necessities which
coincldently arise IN local politics.
Take the Frostburg water supply,
for instance-a rich opportunity for
real business management to make it
eventually a source Of revenue instead
of continuing charge against both
the peoples earnings and their prop
erty. When those in charge should
be "making it pay" especially its
debts, want of systematic, consistent
management, is lessening its ability TO
fulfill its first obligation and defeating
its ultimate mission. No business
firm, in view of the plants liabilities,
would have reduced the price of water
to anybody to s cents per 1000 gallons,
while Il per capita of 24O gallons is
taxed 26 cents
What the next turn will be under
new auspices remains to be seen.
At any rate, the example cited fur
nishes in itself 4 complete refutation
Of that phase of socialism which wants
government to own and run every
thing.
1t cannot be done-uuless social
ism can erect an absolute monarchy
IN every department of the public SER
vice-a monarchy, too, that, to be as
systematic in administration as pos
sible, will have to be practically. if not
literally hereditary.

Know Not What they DO.

William II. Kelly, predecessor of
Hon. David f. Dick in the State Labor
office, is not satisfied with Ole Dana's
comment on the Sal atoga chip govern
or's proposal that
the Legislature take into consideration
the question Of passenger fares, at 2 cents a
mile, for Michigan
To which Dana responded:
1t Is an important subject, and doubtless a
wise recommendation. But the greatest good
of the greatest number ought to be consider
ed. More Michigan people wear boots and
shoes than can possibly reach the Michigan
railroads. Ought not the price of boots and
shoes to be fixed by the Legislature at a
minimum rate of 81 pair?
Now comes Mr.. Kelly:
Mr.. Danas sneers at the ''renowned econo-
mist" as he dubs governor Pingree come
with very bad grace from a man who fails to
see that government which gives valuable
franchise to railroad has perfect right to
dictate the terms upon which such special
privilege shall be continued. shoe manu-
facturer, on the other hand has no special
privilege, and is required to sell his wares in
a competitive market
The trouble with both Pingree ard
Kelly is-their intentions are better
than their plans.
Pass a law fixing rates of fale for
railroads, and it won't be long before
one will be wanted, for better reason
probably, to fix Mr.. Kelly's wages.
1t is not far from the corporation to
the individual, and precedent es-
tablished in the one case will soon be
effectively quoted in the other.
Only a few evenings ago the Jour
NAL heard a man arguing with honest
earnestness that "the next legislature
should fix the price of mining at 60
cents a ton"
Now, with Pingree and Kelly putting
railroad fares down and the miner
putting his wages up, By 1a,o, there is
going to be an unsettement that a
Philadelphia lawyer cannot leadiust.
