BLOCK Coal OPERATORS.
Some of the Things They Will Insist

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Jan. 10.-The block coal
operators of this district have selected w.
w. Risher and c. A. Eastman, of this dis
trict and M. A. Johnson and Charles Nib
lock, of Chicago to represent their interests
in the joint convention of miners and OPP
orators to be held at Pittsburg to make
scale for mining coal for one year, begin
ming April /. These delegates will leave for
Pittsburg Sunday The miners delegates,
thirty-five in number, went to Pittsburg
several days ago. The block operators will
insist on the elimination of the differential
of ten cents which now exists between the
mining price of bituminous and block coal:
AS the price now stands the block coal
mines are operated only three or four
months in the year to furnish fuel for do,
nestle use. The operators will also demand
an equalization in the number of hours
which constitute days work. All of these
changes will be vigorously opposed by the
miners delegation from this district. They
will even demand an advance in the present
scale while some of the operators claim
reduction will be necessary.

"URIAH HEP AND BUzFuz.

In all the voluminous writings
of Charles Dickens, that matchless
delineator of human character, of
the virtues and frailties of human
ity, and of the mental and moral
ills Of which flesh is heir there is
nothing more scathing thanhis with
ering arraignment of the pettifog-
ging lawyer. Indeed it is said to
be matter of English history that
Dickens .Buzfuz" and "Uriah
Heep.'' revolutionized the practice
of law in England. The former
represented the class Of disreputa-
BILE lawyers who took cases on
"speck,' = depending for their fees
upon damages obtained against
innocent persons against whom
they now and then could get judg-
ment for libel or some similar
charge, which they divided with
their unscrupulous clients.
The "Uriah Heep" class OF
English lawyers were perhaps
more numerous and much more
contemplate. They were the
"humble," insinuating, snaky,
slimey fellows that would fawn,
and with sycophantic smile and
palaver, lick the very feet of those
whom they intended to rob, and
when detected in their villainy
plead their great poverty and lack
of knowledge of the common cour-
tesies due from one gentleman to
another. The tribe of these pro-
fessional scavengers is about ex-
tinct, but now and then speci-
men of either type shows himself.
In communities where there is
much legal business they come
like the common wulture follows
the battle, or as the hyena seeks
the tent of the traveller to sneak in
and plumber him while he sleeps.
