From Coast to Coast.

A rugged young man walked into the
JOURNAL office Thursday and presented
a paper reading as follows:
BosroN, Mass, Jan. /, 1901.
Mr.. Arthur Stanley Metcalf, of Newton
highlands Mass, will attempt to walk from
Boston to San Francisco California, starting
from Austin Il Stones Museum, fremont
Row, Boston, at o clock p. III. Tuesday, jan
|, 1901. In order to meet his board bills, he
will letter signs and windows, and also adj
veTtise firms and companies along the entire
route stopping at all the most prominent
cities and having some justice of the peace
sign his name to this paper as prOofOf having
walked into his CT y, etc.
The paper was already numerously
signed. Besides the names We're several
newspaper clippings describing the pro-
posed feat OF Mr.. MetcaH. He was
warmly clad for walking III mid-winter
and carried ii small satchel. Mr.. Met
calf has Il contract with the proprietors
of Austin q Stones Museum to give him
81 900 if he fulfills his part Of the con-
tract. He started without any money
and is to make his living by singing or
lettering signs. Thus far he has had IL
varied experience. Some days he has
been pressed for food and again had more
than enough. Sympathetic persons have
given him clothing and he has been an
object of interest where he has stopped.
At night he puts up at hotels where he
can get lodging free. THE only gencr-
Gus man in FroStburg," said he, twas

reception and put me up for the night, y
Mr.. Metcalf is married, IS yearSOf age
and weighed 220 pounds when he LETT
Boston. He weighs about 115 now.
He is to be back i'll Boston Jan. /, 1902,
at | O'Clock p M, barring accidents and
death. He left Frostburg yesterday,
stopping ut GrautSVillr that evening.
Thence to-day he will wend his way to

How the People are Represented.

Hon J. II. Mitchell, of Oregon, elect
ed last week L. S. Senator for the fourth
term, acknowledged the honor partly AS
follows:
TO all who cast a vote for nie-repuLlicans,
democrats and populists, my heart goes out
in deep gratitude. As to you who voted tor
another. let me assure you that | will make
no distinction against you. | will represent
all the people, all of Oregon, to the best of
my ability
That is a promise to be distinctly sir
regular
The rule is-when in Washington the
Senator or Representative forgets he has
any constituents.
Or if the fact ever occurs to him he
forgcts that he has any constituents out
side his party.
lm Washington he surrcndcrS to the
dict"m that he is not representative of
the people but an agent of the admin
iStratiOn.
Not seeing this, however, the people
of Maryland will soon be engaged in a
contest to determine who shall in the
United States Senate next misrepresent
their interests by voting their means
away to the support of army, navy and
other auti-mcrit retinues of taX-catrrs.

One Good Reason.

The Midland Press commends the
teachers paper asking the next Lcgis-
lature for funds to start and conduct the
State Normal School. 1t says:
A school without funds to run it is a use
less expense. The money to put up very
handsome building has been already eX-
pended, and enough more should be added to
make the first money of some account.

There and Here,

The legislature of West irginia has
abolished the preparatory department Of
the University at Morgantown and turn
ed that department Of educational work
over to its several State normal schools,
and, to afford all portions of the State a
chance to enjoy the advantages of prep
aration, Il school corresponding with
Maryland State Normal No. ,, has Just
been provided for and located at Keyser
Meanwhile, Maryland declines to use
its own school within practically the
same territory, "becausc it is notnccded. -"
Then turns round and spends more
than twice the sum wanted for a two
years run to disfranchisc its uncducated
voters.
If something i'll the way of retribution
doesn't follow such inconsistency as that,
it will be more the fruit of good luck
than honesty.

The New York Engineering and Min

The trade generally continues dull, with
little prospect of immediate improvement.
The colieries, in fact, are likely to find it
necessary to restrict their outputs still more
with the coming of warmer weather.
At points beyond Cape Cod and at points
along Long Island demand is inclined to be
light. The cold wave increased consumption
materially, but supplies on hand were 50
ample that there is little market for any but
the best grades of coal. New York harbor is
no longer ice bound and the local trade is able
to secure coal enough to supply all needs.

The Outlook.

The scale adopted at Columbus, o..
by the operators and miners of, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and western PCnnsyl-
vania, is an assurance that there will be
no labor trouble in those regions before
April /, 1902.
About the only disturbing factor of
this situation is West Virginia, also a
competitor for the north western trade.
In the New Dominion coal is not weigh
ed and the organization seems unable
to gain ii foothold. Consequently, the
Columbus scale is not binding upon
West Virginia operators.
In Cleartield the scale is vet to be
settled, and two problems confront the
powcrs-CD an equitable differcntial
between pick and machine mining, and
(2) more allowance for screening
The JOURNAL is informed, however, that
Il spirit of concession is cherished by
both sides and that an amicable arrange
ment isantiCipated
In the anthracite regions the outlook
is not so propitious. Some wounds, i'll
flictcd last fall by both sides, still bleed,
and the approaches to Il happy agree
ment are, therefore, bCSCt by SorcneSSeS
here and there.
Georges Creek, like the other seaboard
sources of, fuel supply, is also unaffected
by the Columbus scale. Moreover, if
there be any wage movements here they
are strictly "under the surface, or bid
ing results in BroadtOp and Cleartield.
Owing, too, to this regions closer COM
petition with both the NirginiaS, with
their sCalclcSS measurements and labor
disorganization. it is peculiarly handi-
capped in every effort to secure good
wages and standing in the mar
ket at the same time. Whatever it gains,
therefore, as against these drawbacks is
undcniably Il concession from the en-
ployers.
What the demand for fuel will be this
season does not yet appear.

Urgent. invitations Come From

for Mr.. Rice 60
Speak.
From a staff Correspondent.

From Staff Correspondent
Columbus, Oct. 24.--Ex-Mayor James
A. Rice, Of Canton, has consented to
make speech in Columbus, at the
urgent solicitation of the Democratic
state and local committees. Mr.. Rice
was at Democratic headquarters few
moments Tuesday, and while there was
corralled and was told that no would
not do for an answer. He said that
his business was such that he might
not be able to fill the engagement,
but consented to endeavor to arrange
matters. The secretary Of the state
committee has telegraphed to him
since his departure for home that he
is expected and that he must
COME AT AID HAZARDS.
Invitations have come from all parts
Of the state for Mr. Rice to speak at
Democratic openings, and the state
committee has had requests for him in
about every mail. He will likely be
busy till the end of the campaign.
The meeting at which he will speak
In Columbus, Thursday evening. will
be held in the immense auditorium,
where the state conventions are held.
The meeting is to be the only big
one the Democrats of Franklin coun-
ty will hold, all other meetings being
ward and district meetings. Col. Kill
bourne is to make q speech and John
l.. Zimmerman and possibly G. w.
Baker, of Cincinnati, though 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Rice will make the
principal speech Of the evening, Col
onel Kilbourne's effort to be more in
the nature of
A NEIGHBORLY TALK.
Speaking of the situation throughout
the state, Mr.. Rice said he received
very encouraging reports. He told the
state committee ofi1cials that he had
strong hopes for good results in Starl,
county, and that everybody was work
ing for the success of the ticket. He
laid stress on the fact that Colonel
Kilbourne has many warm personal
friends in Stark county, and further
said that he
WAS MOST FORTUNATE
this year, to have associated with him
on the ticket. Anthony Howells, OF
Stark, and the excellent county ticket
the Democrats of Stark have put in the
field. He said candidly that while Col
Kilbourne had personal and individual
strength in the county. his vote would
be materially increased because of the
excellence of the ticket associated with
him. He said 1t was one Of the best
tickets the Democrats Of the county
had ever offered, was we'll distributed
geographically, and was selected with
particular reference to the fitness and
qualification Of the candidate for the
Office he seeks.

have lost their lives, as the weights
fell through both the upper and lower
corridors. Fortunately there was no
one in the path of the falling metal,
though there were a number of per-
sons in the court house at the time
The Carrollton court house was
built by Contractor John s. Mel
bourne, Of Canton. in 1885. The ac-
cident was caused by the breaking Of
the wire cable that held the weights,
and it is claimed that 1t was not Of
sufficient thickness for the purpose Of
holding the great weight.
