COAL MlNERICERTIFICATEs.

Pennsylvania has a law requiring
every miner-not mine worker, but
the skilled man who drives the tun-
mel along the coal vein-to have a
certificate Of proficiency, which is
granted Ivy State Board after an
examination, and two years expert
ence in anthracite mining is a re-
quiste. As there are no anthracite
mines in America except those IN
Pennsylvania no miners from other
States can legally take the places of
the men now employed. Every
cerlifcated miner in the anthracite
region is member OF John Nit.

The coal operators, realizing how
the law places tkem at the mercy Of
the miners, have suit pending to
have this law declared unconstitu.
tional The suit known as the
Shay case, has reached the Su.
preme Court. the highest tribunal
in the State, and decision may be
rendered before April rs,, the date
when a strike is declared, will be.

the certificate law the operators can
rush in as many as roo, 900 non

W. "d'u Yak from the ola reliable
Shepherdstown Resister one of the
very best Democratic papers in this
State or any other state and we en-
dorse every word of it and commend
the example to other papers as being
calculated to bring about some real
reform, in the way of clean politics,
better legislation and good citizen
ship. Hon. s. w. Walker of
Martinsburg, having been prom.
inently mentioned for the State
Senate from that district to succeed
Hon. John J. Cornwell of Hamp-
shire, who declines to be candi.
date again, the Register being in
the same district comments as
follows:
lnasmuch, however, as Mr.. Wal
ker seems to be having a concerted
boom for the State Senate, il seems
to us that now is the time to speak
out in meetin' and frankly discuss
his candidacy.
The Register has no feeling
against Mr.. Walker, even il we did
have a little fun with him a few
years ago, and what we say on this
subject is absolutely free from per-
sonal consideration. But we think
1t would be most unwise as a party
matter and inimlcal to the public
interests to attempt to send him to
the State Sen ate. He is
the attorney of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Comp any, and this
tact' In our opinion, disqualifies
him for the important office re.
ferred to. For the first time in
many years there is a fair prospec,
that needed legislation to correct
railroad abuses may be enacted, and
1t is absurd to hope that a paid at.
torney OF such a corporation will
be of service in granting the reforms
that the people demand. Quite the
contrary. We recognize Mr.. Walk.
er's ability, but it is used in the
interests OF the railroads and they
pay him for il. He is not only the
local attorney for the railroad, but
is partner of ex-senator Faulkner.
who is nationally known as a lawyer
whose services are at the command
of the railroad corporations, and in
the current issue of McClure's Mag.
azine Senator Faulkner's part in the
attempt to defeat railroad rate regu.
lation is strlkingly set forth. Party
feality and public interest must con-
denim the attempt to force Mr..
Walker into the State Senate, al
ready too full of railroad agents,
and we doubt if he could be elected
even in this overwhelmingly Demo
cratic district.
The fact that the people want to
be rid of railroad influence in the
Legislature must also debar another
candidate for the State Senate from
Berkeley county an employee of the
b. & o. Railroad who is a splendid
fellow personally, but who would
no more disobey railroad orders in
the Legislature than he would run
past a danger signal on his engine.
Our neIghboring county must put
up candidates absolutely free from
the r. r., mark if they wish to
have a State Senator.
We discuss this matter candidly
because we prefer tc have the issue
presented to the people now, rather
than after nominations shall have
been made.
