A new smoke man arrived in town
yesterday. and he didn't have far to
come In order to get here.
The latest messiah is an Ana
da man n is employed at
the Anaconda smelters. His name is
Pat Troy. Mr.. Troy called on Mayor
Harrington, introduced himself and ex-
planned his process Of getting rid Of
smoke. While getting rid of the gaseous
m he makes gas and proposes to
erect tanks near each OF the shelters
in which to store the gas. Mr.. Troy
says that sufficient gas will be gener-
ated to furnish illumination for the
smelters, and in all probability there
will be enough to light the streets of the
city as well. The mayor referred Mr..
Troy to j. f. Richards. chairman of
the smoke committee.
The committee has as yet taken no
formal action, but have individually
expressed the opinion the only thing
sure to solve the smoke problem Is
the construction of a f1ue to the top
of the range. II Is known hat some of
the smelling companies at least will

of the smelling companies has express
cd the willingness of his company to
put up it's share of the cost.
There Is considerable talk about get

business men to tackle the smoke ques-
tion and keep IT until 1t is solved. The
members of the smoke committee have

to organize a board of smoke. hen

could be divided up between various

tions could be taken from citizens gen.

solve the great problem.
There are two Butte messiahs besides
the man who came from Anaconda yes

now tackle the job. He believed that
II the companies were compelled by the
courts to solve the problem, they would
find the solution y. d. q. Whenever
anything is proposed by citizens. the
smeltermen usually maintain that II is
not practical. He suggested therefore
that the matter of finding the remedy
be left to the smeltermen and they
be required to find IL within a certain
number of months. or else build the

Physiology.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
One OF the greatest discoveries Of
physiology is that we once had six
senses. What the lost sense was no one
knows, and probably no one will ever
know. But hat our forefathers pos
sessed Il there is no doubt. for the re-
mains of that part of the brain in which
it resided are still to be seen in any one
of US.
These remains are simply a small and
now perfectly useless little mass of
brain substance. called the pituitary
body" 1t consists Of two tiny little
wal lobes Joined together and lying in
a little cavity Of the skull strangely
named the sella turclca. and situated
over and behind the nose.
1t Is quite possible that IL may have
enabled our forefathers to see In the
lark before lamps and candles were in

communication with ghosts and fairies,

"IOe the Mark "

The Forum asked the JOURNAL three ques-
tons. 1t denied the first, and affirmed the
second and the third it ignored. When the
JOURNAL will state who is responsible for the
mining laws of Maryland being 'inoperative"
the Forum will give the public something to
ponder over.-Forun.
The Forum is mistaken.
The JOURNAL indicated very plainly
that the trouble with an imperative"
law resides mainly in the law itself.
For instance, when a law compels a
mine-owner to ventllate a mine when
the coal to be gotten out will not pay
the expense of ventilation, that law is
very apt to become imperative"
Again-when the check weighman
cannot trust the men he is protecting
from weigh-boss robbery for his pay,
the law which provides for the check
weighman is most likely to become
Imperative"
In the one case, the operator, find
ing ventilation too expensive. is re-
sponsible for ''inoperation:" in the
other, the miners, finding that protec
ton from robbery is too expensive, are
responsible.
Isn't that plain ?

No Doubt About This.

Mr.. Poffenberger says "the demo-
cratic party is the bi-metalist party"
Which is correct.
1t stands for the maintenance of the
use of gold and silver as legal tender
money, on parity, dollar for dollar.
But the party with which Mr.. Poffen-
berger and the populists marched to
defeat two years ago is silver-stand-
ard party, and is as completely divorce
ed from democracy as though it had
never been allied with the historic
party of Jefferson.
If anybody doubts this statement,
it can be proven by the Chicago plat
form of 1892, on which the democracy
won for true bi-metalism.

Pearre, Poffenberger, Practice,

The republican platform upon which
Col. Pearre is running declares for
sound money, and the speakers are so
publishing the fact.
Moreover, they are making proc
lamation of the paramount claims
their party generally has upon sound
money support.
But, "lest we forget" law went
into force July l, last, passed by re-
publican Congress and signed by a
republican President, which provides
for the coinage of Il millions a month
of silver bullion amassed under the
Sherman Silver Act.
Practically, however, every dollar
of this bullion, and 3 millions more,
have already been issued to the people
in Treasury notes.
So that if A has a $5-Treasury note
in his pocket and B five silver dollars,
coined since July l, the government
has practically given A its note for S.,
payable Vih BIS money!!
What more initiation does the most
rabid free-coinage silverite want /?
What more even can the populist
want than the issue of both the govern
ment's notes and the security for those
notes?
Let US return to A and B. When
the time for redemption comes, as
come it must. how is government to
get BIS money to pay its own debt?
The JOURNAL would like an intel
ligible answer from some republican
who "points with pride' to his party
platform as proof of his party's sound
ness.
Mr.. Poffenberger will probably come
along instead and tell the people to
look-not at the platform, but at, for
instance, the 34th section of the War
Revenue Act of last summer.
And Mr.. Poffenberger can then show
by his approval of republican practice
that he is a better republican than
those republicans whose republican,
ism is attested mostly by preceding
sound money.

FROSTBURG, Md. OCTOBER %. 1898.
Laws.

Concerning probable recommends
ton by the Industrial Labor Com
mission of the passage of laws by Con-
gress making the number of working
day hours uniform, the Baltimore Sun,
writing skeptlcally Of the practicable
ity of the scheme, says:
Whether these laws can be enforced is
another thing
Readers of the Frostburg Forum are
accustomed, however, to the complaint
that all laws are enforceable, and, be-
ing enfoi ceable ought to be enforced,
no matter if enforcement makes MIN
ing too expensive.
1t is by similar process of ratiocina-
ton that the deluded free, coinage sill
verite reaches the conclusion that his
plan will make the payment OF debt
easier, forgetting that it will then be
quite impossible for him to obtain need
ed credit again. Current contracts may
be disposed of by process more sum-
marily than "taking the benefit but
the creditor cannot be forced into new
ones on same terms, no matter what the
law may be.
To return-this time to the notion of
the Homecoming Recie,o that, because
the companies are obeying an enact
ment that is not enforceable, it is in
force. This is equivalent to the de-
fusion that if government breathes the
breath of life into disk of silver it is
a dollar even if it is not worth more
than 46 cents IN market.
The JOURNAL is glad that the Sun
threw out the intimation that there be
laws, national enactments at that, that,
in the nature of things, cannot be en-
forced. The factory operator has the
right of making hours as we'll as wages
condition of employment, and the
operative the right of waiver, each in
alienable.
The same is no less true herein
time and frequency of payment, as in
the wages paid. If man will not
work for As cents ton, no law can
make the mine-owner pay him more.
If he will not take his pay monthly or
semi-monthly, no law can make the
company employ him.
And these are the facts which pile
mountain-high the reasons why every
man should be his own Knight of
Labor.
