Manifest Destiny.

The Forum accounts for the failures
of John Siney, Thomas Armstrong,
ETC., by stating that
one and all attempted to use the organi-
cation as political club to further his own
or others political ends.
This is much more than the JOUR
NAL expected.
But since so much has been con-
fessed, what ground is there for hope
that the Forum, as dingus for utlliz-
ing miners prejudlces to promote GER
tain personal fortunes in State, county
and town politics, will not also fail,
and fail utterly
For instance, will the miners keep
in mind next spring the Forums bitter
hosptility to two coal companies and
forget its friendship for light com
pany with a five-year contract one of
the worst and most needless of all
monopolies 7?
If they do forget this, however. what
reason have they for moving along
and sweating under the delusion that
the Forum company, with its satellite
corporations, is not playing the same
game in some direction that Sney and
Armstrong did?
the antecedents of the Forum is his
torcally and geographically entitled
to be called "a friend of labor -
Leaving investigation of that point
to the reader, we go on and ask how
can a paper stand up for the miners in
only two coal companies and leave the
rest to look out for themselves
And how can it stand up for the
miners against the coal companies and
against the miners in the interest of a
light company
The Forum affects to think that "the
miners cannot be moulded into a
political machine" but the Forum com
pany scheme does not on the surface
furnish an index figure to that view.
For it is as plain as light that the
generally conceded but unfortunate
hostility of the miners toward the coal
companies is feeling that has been
appropriated by the Forum to be cod
died by tlattery and handled for the
promotion Of a party .taction and the
profit of municipal monopoly.
The miners should see this noao, and
not wait to discover it after they have
been fooled.

The Actual Reason.

The Homecoming Reoiew asks the
miners of Georges Creek
was it necessary for newspapers to demand
the enforcement of the seml-monthly pay
law? y Was it not enforced without or
ganization? Certainly it was, and you all
know it.
Solely in the interest of historical
accuracy, the JOURNAL ventures to in
tervene just at this point to say that
the semi-monthly pay la~ has neoer been
enforced. There has never been any
occasion to enforce it.
Again wholly in the interest of
historical integrity-the companies,
waving their right to say in a
matter in which they hold at least 80
per cent. of "See Me First" and hop
Ing their action would be accepted as
a testimonial of conciliatory feeling,
united informally in an agreement to
observe an enactment they are not and
cannot be compelled to obey.
For the Reoieo to insist that it is in
force because 1t was ''properly con-
structed' is the veriest balderdash,
for there is no constitutional warrant
for the fabrication Of such law, and
cannot be under free government.
Since the matter has been called up,
gentlemen newspapers and miners,
put the credit where it belongs-not to
the constitution which does not war
rant it, nor to the legislature and
governor unauthorized to pass and sign
lt-but give it to the companies who,
IN the interest of amity, furnished an
example of concession by recognizing
and yielding to it cheerful obedience.

important Movements.

The County Commissioners received
Monday a request from w. C. Devec-
mon to vacate the franchises given
last spring to several electric road com
panies. He argues that the holders
have forfeited their rights under same
by failing to avail themselves of some
of the vital requirements. As yet the
Commissioners have not given the re-
quisite thirty days notice.
Tuesday the Commissioners passed
an order permitting Messrs J. W. s..
Cochrane and C. G. Watson, attorneys,
access to the room occupied by the Bar
Association. The right of the petition
ers, who are not members of the assoc
citation. to occupy the room, is denied by
that body, and the matter has gone
into court.

w hat Does 1t Mean?

When we see the Baltimore Nems calling
the Sixth District Democratic platform a
sound money platform and the FRosrBURG
MINING JOURNAL calling it the thinnest per-
version of a free silver platform, well may
we ask
What does the thing mean anyhow?
Perhaps Mr.. Poffenberger will tell us when
he gets on the stump.-Cumberland Ne,cs.
The Ne'os does not quote the JOUR-
NAL correctly.
The great paper said, in substance,
that the term, ''money of the Con-
stitution," meaning the product of
"tree and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio Of 16 to l." etc., was 1.-THE
thinnest of perversions'-of the Con-
stit"tion, not ''of Il free silver platform. -
The latter cannot be perverted.

lately affirmed a decision of justice D..
j. Williams in Second Daniel-come

The F0rum's nominee for Congress
come along, however, and appealed
from Williams to the Circuit Court.
