MUNICH, June ~, 1899
To the MINING JOURNAL.
This morning we are resting after
several days tedious travel. We left
Berlin Wednesday amid heavy showers
and bitter cold and were greeted at
Dresden with same hospitable weather,
but it lasted Just one day. and since
then the temperature has been delight
full.
After reaching Dresden we stored
our baggage and immediately proceed
ed, though rather tired, to the picture
gallery. The car conductor had di-
rected us to the wrong building, and,
after hunting around and not finding
the museum, we decided first to get
some dinner. We went in a restaurant
across the way, where we found our
selves the only women, most of the
diners being students and professors.
But it was a refined place and we had
good dinner at small cost.
We visited the picture gallery for
two hours and, though our eyes were
weary, we felt we could remain there
forever. A number of small sales
had already been visited when B
proposed searching for the Madonna.
Nightly thrilled were we when, after
passing through rooms and rooms of
the famous old Italian school, we stood
before the Raphael gem.
The second day in Dresden was very
profitable, even though it did lain the
greater part. Early in the morning
we went to the Johanneum Museum,
on the second etdge of which is the
porcelain collection. Most of the So
called Dresden china (the correct name
Is Meissen china seemed unfamiliar
and, if | should see a piece now, | be-
lieve | could not distinguish it from
other china.
The Historical Museum is in the
same building and it, too, has its
treasures. With lingering eyes did
we gaze at the dainty little slippers of
Maria Theresa and the battle boots
and velvet slippers of Napoleon. |
hunted for the hat of Peter the Great
but ended in being satisfied at seeing
pair of his great wooden boots.
AT the Gruves Genolbe, amidst the
splendid collection of curiosities,
jewels, etc, we stayed Just long
enough to wish we had just COM
menced, but time was flying and we
were obliged to hasten to the picture
galleries. Two hours here again and
we felt satisfied with having seen all
the famous paintings.
After dinner at four, we had a
charming ride past many lovely villas
and arrived at Schloss Platz just in
time to be caught in fearful rain
storm. | mention these rain expert
ences so often, as they seem to be
among the chief events of our travels.
In the evening we went for prOmen-
ade on some of the principal streets,
aud along the Elbe on the Bruhl
Terrace, where We saw with happy

Which is Right .

Pennsylvania judges are differing.
Some time ago Col. Pearre, with a
great flourish, quoted one as holding
that mine pollution, being natural"
can be legally disregarded.
But judge Orlady, of court equally
high, or higher, over there, quoted by
the Cumberland independent, lays it
down flat-footed that
No usage can justify mater pollution.
1t is important to know which is
right-that is, if Pennsylvania opin-
ion, cited by both the States attorney
and Independent, is to be a guide to a
conclusion here.
Because, if the attorneys judicial
authority is right, Cumberland can
confine its drinking to the pollution
whose vileness is intensified by | ! tons
of green vitriol daily.
Or, if Orlady's wholesale construc
ton is the proper one, the States at
torney cannot skip any usage by
which Potomac water is polluted.
Meanwhile, the best route out of a
difficulty SO embarrassing is-repeal
the laws which destroy the upper
Potomac as a base for manufacturing
growth.

Enthusiast" in the Baltimore Ne,rS
of Tuesday, INDUCES some fine irony
in his analyses of the battle-cries of
Edwin Warfeld and John Walter
Smith. With the hand of master he
shows that each candidate was self
evidently "hard up for reasons
personal why democratic voters should
bestow their partiality upon him.
Recourse was then had to the adop-
ton and allegation of old platitudes
that no party man disputes, except by
quietly voting the other way. One,
for instance, affirmed with determined
air
am opposed to the corrupt use of money
at elections.
The other, with equal implacabiIity--
| have always held that public office is a
public trust.
AS intimated, these are 81 Am" ex-
amples. Nothing newer, nothing
more original has been urged by
either as a paramount claim upon
gubernatorial honOrs.
The question to which we are drift
ing is-are not men who can do no
better too small for the chief magis-
tracy of State like Maryland
Or has that high place, notwith-
standing apathetic Opposition to the
use of money at elections, become the

Moving for More Wages.

A meeting of miners at Knapp's
Meadow last Sunday afternoon re
suited in request that all mines send
delegates to general meeting at same
place this afternoon, when a general
committee will be named to ask the
operators for a conference.
The mines have responded and the
probability is the movement will be
general.
1t is to be hoped that all will work
out amicably. AT any rate, a good,
square business talk between employer
and employee, now and then, whether
wages be the topic or not, ought to be
healthy.

Ancnt Consistency,


Few writers can state case like f.

Presumably to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to the Potomac
he says:
First admit the inadequacy of your legal
remedy; otherwise, how can you ask equity
to take jurisdiction You've been ousting
equity by every move
All to promote the inequity of
shouldering city costs on the county.
Then there is this word of comfort :
1t is possible, however, that the courts may
recognize the circuity and nadequacy of the
remedy at law as affording jurisdiction in
equity in the pulp mill case.
Indeed, probable, because equity
presumes that the people of Luke
have some right to make use of the
Potomac which the law seems to deny
them.
1t is for this cause the JOURNAL be-
lieves the laws, to conform with the
genius of equity, should be repealed.
