Wrong Again.

The Homecoming Recjew is stopping
over this week.-Mrs. time over the
guilty of Georges Creek coal as an
element of its invincibility in market.
The government analyses of Georges
Creek and Pocahontas Goals Shoac mp
better for Pocah0ntas.
Indeed, all that can be charged
against Pocahontas coal is-it is sus-
pected Of liability to spontaneous com
bustion.
The JOURNAL admits having made
the most Of this point at a time when
the matter was topic of newspaper
discussion.
If the Recjeao kneec anything about
the matters concerning which it froths,
foams and Eliminates, it could look
back on fewer mistakes.
But its inflated ignorance makes it a
dangerous guide.

FRosTBURG, Nh, June I, 1899.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
| noticed your reference last week
to the portion of my letter sent to the
Forum, which had been omitted, and
while you are not altogether correct
in your surmise, | am obliged for the
courtesy you extend.
| do not care great deal about the
matter, but thought then and think
now that if my motives concerning the
use of water are to be impugned, ! had
equal right to raise the question
whether the author of Dictionary
ever got any light free of charge for
and in quiet consideration of his active
friendship for the tive-year contract
scheme.
That is all. C.. f. NICKEL.

The True Reason.

The New York Coal Trade J0umal of
this week is quoted as saying, in effect
The same old prices prevail.
If there is reliable coal-malket au-
thority it is the Jounal.
And if "the same old prices pre-
Vall,' 1t is clear that something else
than "a rise in market" is the cause of
the so-called advance in Clearfeld.' y
That cause is-the machine against
the pick.
This is reading so plain that 1.-THE

River on Fire.

The Chicago Chronicle describes "the
Chicago river on fire. Tuesday night,
1.-THE second time within two months"
The river is so intensely polluted by
Industrial establishments that it is COM
bustible-like Pocahontas coal, proba-
bly, spontaneously so.
Yet Chicago people would not have
their river water pure enough to drink.
They want, instead, more pollution
from more manufacturing establish
ments and from more commerce.

- 1t is a generally recognized fact
among those who best understand
politics, that the campaign for county
Offices is now on in full swing. 1t has
been on almost ever since the last cleo
ton. Some people are inclined to de-
plore such situation. They think
they got plenty of politics even when
the campaign lasted only few months,
and the idea of keeping up cam
paign perpetually is, of course, dis
tasteful. Really, THE ENQUIRER
thinks that a short campaign of two
or three months is all that is neces-
sary; and further, it believes that all
the work that will count for anything
is likely to be done within two or
three months of the election. But
many of those who want the Offices
think otherwise, it seems: and they
have, of course, a right to suit their
