How it VIII Work
In its defence of Gov. Tanner
gross violation of law and grosser de-
fiance of the consequences the Iona
coming Reoie,o says
1t is also noticeable that the "blackleg
organs above mentioned say nothing Of the
fact that the operators of the coal mines at
sNirden were also indicted. That was not for
them to say
Certainly not.
For all we know they We're properly
indicted, but whether they were or not,
has nothing to do with Gov. Tanners
case.
And when it comes into court all
testimony against the operators will
be ruled out in everything except the
speeches of the lawyers.
The governor will be heard on the
merits of his case, but defended on
the dement's OF the operators.
That is why the Recie,o forecasts an
other miscarriage of justice.
u. S.-Since noticeable" things
are in order-has anybody observed an
answer in the ReeieD to the JOURNALS
question:
fla company should discharge all of its
miners to-day and re-employ them tomor-
row on condition that the miners, waving
their right under the law, take their pay
monthly, will the semi-monthly pay law be
Gin force against that company?
AS futile effort was made to an
swer the question whether the libel
law was in force against Farrell, the
JOURNAL will feel that fraction of
life is not worth living if the question
just repeated continues to be sighted
A Pointer.
The JOURNAL spoke recently of y
millions as Cumberland's "nomn.aW
worth.
Since that time it learns that about
30 of the towns - thousand voters are
worth at least that much.
A half million for pure water sup
ply would be mere investment of
pocket change by that town, and hard
ly that if its tinanciers will follow the
example of those in Frostburg who Sc
cured postponement of payments by re-
funding, and who are already con
graduating the peoples children, born
and unborn, upon the shrewdness
which obtained for them a rate of in
terest SO low as per cent.

a Drama in Two Acts.

Gov. Black, Of New York, spolls-
man who g!ories in having the nerve
to "take the starch out of civil service
reform in his State, has been forced
by popular disgust with that achieve
ment to direct the institution of crimi-
nal proceedings against two of his
fellow-spoilsmen-two of his own APP
pointees-for stealing the peoples
money.
The latter act of that unhappy
drama illustrates that fate sometimes
reserves to the hand that encourages
deviltry the ungracious task of punish
ing If.

The Little Brother Was Urgent.

a Cleveland youth called the other
evening on Il young woman who re-
sides not far from his home, and when
he rang the bell her little brother
came to the door, relates the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
"Good evening" said the little
brother.
Good evening"" said the youth. "Is
your sister at home, Georgie?"
"Yes, SIR" replied the boy, "she's
home. Do you want to see her."
EYES," said the youth. "Please tell
her I am here
won't you come in?" inquired the
boy.

Better" said the boy.
mo" said the youth.
'Well, maybe you know best" said
the boy.
YES" smiled the youth.
So the boy went in, and the youth
sat down on the porch and propped
himself against the post.
Pretty soon, with much rustling Of
skirts, Miss Alice appeared in the
doorway.
"Mercy! Mr.. Skimple, is that you?
Didn't you notice the porch had just
been painted?'>
And then poor Skimple remembered
with a sickly smile how urgent her lit
tie brother had been.
But that wouldn't remove the paint.

Hawks Fight 20 the Death.


A fierce comlat between a large gray
hawk and a smaller red occurred 9
few days ago on the farm of George
Williams, in Bristol Township. Mr..
Williams was standing in his corn field.
when he hsard a series Of fierce
Nuawks in the air above him. Tive
hawks circling about each other and
dropping rapidly to the earth next at,
tracted his attention. The birds fell al.
most at his feet and continued TO fight
With great ferocity. 1t was evident
from tho very start that the battle was
O very unequal one, the gray bird being
much too heavy for his opponent. The
farmer selling q stick sailed in to take
q band in the fight. He made several
vigorous swipeS at the rapidly revolv-
Ing bundle of claws and feathers, but
somehow or other he always failed to
land. Then he fo1ily decided to staLd
OF and wait until one bird had been
killed, Whereupon he would jump In
n dispatch the victor. The red hawk
vas growing weaker every moment,
and finally he fell over on his back, and
tho gray victor drove his beak deep into
the breast Of the vanquished. With a
squawk Of triumph the gray fellow
suddenly raised himself upon his broad
wings and sailed away before Williams
realized what he was about. The red
hawk lay dead upon the field literally
clawed to Observation-Disclosures Rec.

HOBSON'S SENSE OF DUTY.
Incidents In the Early Life Of the Hero OF
Santiago.

Donaldson Caffrey, jr., son of the
United States Senator, and District
Attorney for his judicial district, was
a classmate of Hobson's at the Acade-
nv of Annapolis.
"Hobson," said Caffrey the other
day. lis one of the most exalted char
acters l have ever known. He had a
will of iron. His religious tendencies
somewhat associated him in my mind
with Stonewall Jackson, it was so pro-
nounced. He was a hard student, at
tended with the most scrupulous regu-
larity to every detail Of discipline AMI
Of duty, and in all his work at the
academy V forgot his Bible.
'Yhere is an unwritten law at An
napolis that the officer Of the senior
class in the last year shall not report
small irregularities and infractions Of
discipline among his classmates, and,
like everything at the Naval Academy.
this law is rigid, and is always re-
spected. Hobson, however, saw his
duty In disregarding 1t. and made him
self so unpopular with the boys that
to a man they all cut him. This had
not the slightest effect upon him, how
ever, for he was doing what he con-
ceived to be his duty, and nothing
could ever deter him from the per
Torrance Of duty. l only saw one va
Ration from this rule Of his, and I am
inclined to believe it was in his con
science no variation at all. 1t was
when we went out cruising. Those
young tigers were on the alert for the
slightest opportunity to haze, and the
man who is so unfortunate as to give
an opening, has a rocky time of it, in
deed. | remember that inadvertently
I threw myself down on the mess-ta-
BILE on the first day out. My COM
rades pounced on me, and, pretending
this was a heinous o~ffense, had some
fun at my expense, which I shall new
er forget.
'You must know we have all the
amiable traits Of young savages and
just about as much mercy. l Won
dered on this trip if Hobson would
have the temerity to kneel and pray.
There was not a man of the crowd,
out of the many superb youngsters,
who would have flinched in the mouth
of the cannon, with the hardihood to
kneel and pray before the boys. But
Hobson quietly kneeled and prayed
before turning in for the night. The
boys succeeded in making that un-
bearable for him in time and he event
ually quit it. l am convinced, how
ever, that he desisted simply because
he concluded the quiet of his bed
would be better conducive to a relig-
i0us frame Of mind, and not because
he had not the moral courage to kneel
and pray before the whole body of us.
However, a great many Of us, l am
sure, did the same thing"
