Authentic Information.

Ascertaining that the inquiry fixing
Mrs. Emma Williams death early in
1871 was erroneous, the JOURNAL
turned to its files and found the fol-
lowing:
BORDEN SHAFT, May II, 1872.
On Friday evening of last week Mrs.
Emma Williams, wife of Daniel Williams, of
Midlothian mines while attempting to kindle
fire by pouring coal oil thereon, the flames
from the burning oil set fire to her clothes
and before any aid could be given her the
greater portion of her person was severely
burned. She received all the medical aid
that human skill could bestow, but her case
was regarded as hopeless from the beginning.
She fingered in great agony until Monday
evening when death put an end to her suffer
ings. She leaves > children, the eldest be
ing about 9years Of age. She was about IS
years old NJ r..
This note appeared May Is, 1872,
showing that Mrs. Williams was burn
ed May 10, and died May 10, 1872.
The signature is that of the late
Michael G.. Ryan.

Leaf from the Past.

1t (the JoURNAL) makes no bones of saying
that the miners have no rights that coal OPP
orators are Lound to respect, though they do
say that it was a dauntless tribune of the
people till a political mishap soured it
Forum.
The Forum cannot sustain that state
ment.
The JOURNAL is for equal rights
for operator and miner, or If the
Forum professionally prefers-for the
miner and operator.
1t is opposed to legislation for either
at the expense of the other, for each
should be left to transact his business
with the other according to the laws
of business and without the inquisitlon
of special statutes.
Everybody else gets along that way,
and both miners and operators should
be informed by every Legislature that
there is nothing special here for either
of you.r Hence, it has come to pass
that the JOURNAL is the true friend of
both, an enemy of neither, and, by the
same token, a promoter of peace,
amity and prosperity IN the whole com
munity.
AS to its aforetime class favor for
the miners, cut short by "a political
mishapr-that stands more to the dis
credit of the favored class than to the
JOURNAL.
1t was, however, probably not the
first time the miners showed their
want of even plain consistency, nor
the last.
1t was an event easily characteristic
of the caprice which blamed Lloyd
Lowndes with bringing the troops here
in 1894 and next year placing him IN
supreme command of those troops by
the largest party majority ever given
any nominee IN this region.
Whatever favor the Forum enjoys,
therefore, in that quarter is based
upon a foundation which the first wave
may wash away.
For it seems the miners reward then
imaginary enemies and eventually
punish both their real and professional
friends.

Slight mention of Hon. William Mcmahon

When he is not on, especially after
wanting to get on, he is a vote-repeller

Political Independence.

William Willis, free coinage demo-

first district, this State, more honest
than grammatical, says:

party that throws a cloak about their real
convictions, and pretends to be that which
they are not | believe that the time has
come when men and parties ought to rise up
in the fearlessness Of their own convictions
and stand tirn for the cause of right and
justice.

ties should have the liberty, Mr..
Willis, of following your advice with
out mourning the reproach OF treason
to the party" etc.
But if Mr.. Willis independence and
courage had been in force at Chicago
in 1896, free coinage would have made
a much poorer show.
1t obtained the support, however, of
that slogan Of the party slave driver,
"regularity,' and much that after
ward passed for free coinage sentiment
was really ''loyalty to party" and
treason to convictions"
AS a matter of fact, the "men and
parties in free country who allow
themselves to be driven by other than
their convictions of Fright and JUSTICE
are unworthy of the franchise.
There is no more virtue in ma jor-
lty tyranny than any other kind of
tyranny.

The Cumberland Times quotes from

passages:
1t is the most cowardly and treacherous of

1t has no friends it does not sooner or later
betray.
In times of panic and calamity, shipwreck
and disaster, it becomes the agent and minis
ter of rum.
Mr.. Ingalls, ought not to be good au-
thority on any subject in democratic
paper.
Just here the JOURNAL regrets that
it cannot find his views of "copper"

ago, beside which the wholesale and
all-time traitor, gold" is an angel of

From the conscientious silverites there is
nothing to fear; there are not enough of
them to work a financial revolution. But
from the persons who will throw their

dictates, there is danger which requires
constant watchfulness.-C Cumberland Ne,rS.
