MINING JOURNAL.
J. B. ODER, Editor.
FROSTBURG, MD., JAN. 21,1883.
A FBIENI) OF IHE men.
In an age of corporate encroach
ment upon popular rights—of the
strength of organization against the
■weakness of disorganization —of
wealthy effort for uneoual privileges
as against the equality feebly sought
by the laboring classes—all under
color and form of legal process, the
sincerity of a rich man who turns
reformer may well be questioned.
Few of us are or can be traitors to
our interests. Hence, it is about as
easy for a “camel to pass through the
eye of a needle" as for a rich man to
become disloyal to the greed of his
class. He is by habits of calculation,
frequently by the pride of wealthy
lineage, the forco of association and
investment, the faithful friend of his
own interests, and by so much an
enemy to the poor. He studies to
remain all the while on the upward
revolution of the wheel of fortune,
heedless cr careless of the philosophic
necessity which invaterately places a
heavier mass upon the downward side.
What does such an one moan by
reform f What is wrong in the con
stitution of things that brings his
rugged eloquence to plead for re
dress? Let us see. A lew pertinent
instances will suffice:
Gov. Hamilton suggests a reduction
of tax collectors in Allegany county,
for instance, from four to one. Why?
That the excessive bonds, given by
four officials of moderate wealth per
haps, may be consolidated in one ag
gregating $315,000, or one which, as
a rule, can be given only by a man of
great means.
In connection with this matter he
recommends that authority be given
him to appoint a non-paid commis
sion to revise our system of taxation.
It is obvious that none but wealthy
men could accept the honor, and it is
equally plain they would not injure
capitalized interests.
He recommends the abolition of the
office of State tax commissioner—
established with the special view of
locking up all those bases of taxation
which corporations eo well know how
to depreciate and conceal in order to
escape paying their proportion of the
expenses of government.
Admitting that the governor ir hie
difference with the comptroller upon
the question of re-establishing and
maintaining a sinking fund fur the
gradual liquidation of the State’s
debt, as a matter of constitutional
propriety, seems to hold the correct
view, it is to be said also that, as a
matter of financial economy and a
continuance of a low rate of taxation,
the latter’s practice appears best for
the taxpayers. It may be that the
fiscal officers have gone too far to
make the State system conform with
that of the national government, yet
the people hive been saved a vast
amount of needless expense. For in
stance, if we are not mistaken, the
general government has no specific
income other than that derived from
an indirect tax upon consumption.
On the other hand, the State owns
assets which overbalance its liabilities,
and while it owns these it is practi
cally out of debt. Thus it seems use
less to encumber the people with
the burden cf providing a sinking
fund when there is nc necessity for
such a feature.
Be that as it may, however, there
is no mistaking the governor’s atti
tude. With him] the sinking fund,
with its addition of Hi cents per
SIOO to our present rate of 18} cents,
is a necessity / Put this with his sug
gestions, before 'referred to, looking
to unloading capital of its due pro
portion cf taxation and placing it on
the industries of the State, and where
will the vast majority of private prop
erties, always fully assessed, stand ?
This is the quintessence of reform as
proposed in this State. Glossed over
by a large number of specious com
plaints, nuworthy of comparison with
the huge wrongs contemplated to be
imposed upon the people, it is well
designed to deceive the popular mind
and mislead the popular judgment—
one of those expedients which every
election induces the people to go to
the polls and cut off their own noses.
Somebody is charging Postmaster
Johnson, of Cumberland, with using
bis paper to advance his claims for
re-appointment. These, and some
others probably, found fault with us
last fall for doing the same thing.
The suggestion is unworthy oi enter
tainment for a moment; in fact, it is
very silly.
The Baltimore Timet ascended last
Saturday. Ballasted with colonel
pungents end captain brilliants, taken
from deposits of questionable tal
ent all the way from New York to
Colorado, nevertheless it went up. ]
The balloon is in heaven; the sand re- i (
sanitis; they will never meet again. |j
There is a ripple of agitation ever
the Maryland and Virginia boundary
line. It ie believed that Mineral,
Grant and parte of Hampshire and
Hardy counties, rightfully belong to
this State, and it has become neces
sary that we should have them, (1)
that Western Maryland may gain
soma importance as a portion of tho
State, and (2) that we may get a
Congressional district up here of re
spectable shape. Let us bring them in.
Thu editor of the Cumberland Ncm
was in Washington, D. C., last Monday
and loosed In on the Guileau farcical
trial. He says Guitcau is sane. That
settles it. The nssasiu of President Gar
field must stretch hemp.—Lonaconing
Timet.
Whenever you enter Quilenu’s plea call
us as a witness in your behalf.—Cumber
land tinea.
“Quiteau’s plea” is “inspiration.” Call
us too —Frostburg Journal.
We meant the plea entered by Scovllle
for Guiteau.—Cumberland tinea.
We accept tho amendment. So that,
between the Wetrsnnd ourseif, wc believe
wo will got the Valley Times off.—Frost
burg Journal.
This thing bids fair to string out as
long as the Guiteau trial.—Cumberland ■
Netei. i
That’s because you were not content for
- as the darker said, to “hit the last lick
fust I”—Frostburg Journal.
And still there Is as yet no news (noose)
at the end of tbit.—Cumberland A ’em
Mil lon says “evil news rides a fast horse;
good news goes slow," or words to that
effect. Hence, wc will not rcacli a conclu
sion of tlui thing until we Guiteau “the
end.”—Frostburg Journal.
Let Bcovihe ’nd soon cud this thing.—
Cumberland News.
Hanged if our respectful noggin
isn’t most too thick to get that pro
fane pun through. Tell Sooville to
give u some porter.
The trouble at Lonaconing over a
short, narrow neck of land ought to
be deeply regretted as the forerunner
of one of tho'e sanguinary railroad
wars on account of which our county
has won wide celebrity. It was hoped
all occasion for war had forever
passed; that peace, blessed pence,had
spread her meek wings over our
heroes ; that the sword had been con
verted itito a plow-share and the
spear into a pruning-hook ; that the
ambulance corps had been discharged
and the yellow flag lowered from the
hospital. It was only on the Bth cf
November lust (may we never forget
it I) that the brave contestants shook
hands over the bloody chasm, > wapped
slobbers, diankslop out of an O. L. D.
trough, exchanged fleas and waited
for the glorious result. The telegraph
and the telephone, those inventions
of amity no less renowned for achieve
ment than the enginery of war,
speedily told how the Bluoher of
West Cumberland had rushed to the
aid of Wellington,on the east flank
of the great city. The allies swept
the field ; like Blenheim, “it was a
glorious victory I” But ere the lair,
frail flowers of spring come to deck
the landscape, or the rejuvenating
pulses of vernal life oan quicken anew
the long strides of Wellington or re
touch Blncher’s rosy cheek, the sound
of strife breaks upon the ambient air,
andlol Wellington holds Blucher at
arm’s length by his ox-like neck!
And Bluoher makes vainly for Wel
lington’s swan-like pharynx I
We have no expectation or desire
to take part in tho encounter. If the
title to the land is in disnute neither
party should be permitted to occupy
it for a moment until tho ownership
is settled. That is all—save that
people who can unite in a common
outrage at tho polls of thh county
ought to be made to behave amicably
over a piece of worthless land.
CORRESPONDENCE
WANTS A GOOD OFFICER.
Fbostbuiio, Jan. 10,1882.
To ths Mining Journal:
The City Council will be called
upon to appoint a night policeman in
place of Officer Sullivan, who was dis
charged for misconduct, and as n tax
payer and one who has property to
be protected, I would make the fol
lowing suggestions relative to such
appointment:
1. Secure the services of a good, honest,
reliable man.
3. Ur ail means appoint a man who is
not addicted to drinking.
3. Get a man who lias tho respect and
confidence ol the community and one who
will prove a terror to evil doers.
4. Let the Mayor and Council Instruct
him about bis duties and should ho neirlect
to perform them, then reprimand him for
his first offoncc, fine him for the second
and discharge him for the third.
5. Make him understand that an officer
of the law cannot afford to lounge In bar
rooms or any where else in fact.
0. It should be bis duty to go over the
town at least twice each night.
7. Pay tho officer a living salary.
Such a course, I think, would get
Frostburg a good officer and also one
who would appreciate the dignity of
his position. Give us a good officer
or none at all. Merchant.
O£AERA L FIRMS.
The Councils Committee on Com
merce and Navigation resolved to
appeal to Congress lor $802,000 for
the improvement of the De.aware
river. The official report of antbra- [
cite coal tonnage fur the month of
December end the past year has jntt
been made public. I. shows that the
tonnage of the various carrying com
panies for thk month was- 2,724,726 I
ions and for the year 28,600,016 tons
an increase oi 5,062,744 tens as com- i
pared with the previous year.
A Lkadvit t.c dispatch says Bichard
Wheat y, pan owner of the Ironside
mine, was killed Thursday of last
week by an explosion of giant pow
der.
The mining fever still continues to
rage in Buckingham 0o„ Va. Tbe
old mines are being worked and new
ones are being opened. Tbe piospect
of having a railroad at an early day
running through the county has im
parted new life to everything.
Shale-Pox Remedy. —A writer in
the Liverpool (Eng.) Mercury eays
that the worst case of small-pox can
be cured in three days simply by tba
use of a sufficient quantity of cream of
tartar dissolved in u pint of hot water
nod drank at intervals when cold
He adds that it is asme care and
never leaves a mark behind.
The fact that you have an enemy
is proof that you are somebody.
Wishy-washy, empty, worthless peo
ple never have enemies. Men who
never move never run against any
thing; and when a man is thoroughly
dead and utterly buried, nothing ever
rune against him. To be run against,
is proof of existence and position; to
run against something ie proof of
motion.
■ Friendship : In the forenoon of
life a man has an idea that it wentd
take a mighty big church to hold
his friends, if they should all be
drawn to the same sanctuary at the
same time. But ere the dentist has
put in bis second set of teeth he has
about come to tho conclusion that one
of the short pews near the stove
would not be crowded if they should
all sit down together to warm their
feet.
Iron. —There has been a very fair
business done during the past week,
although but little is generally ex
pected before the middle of January.
All kinds of iron are in short supply,
and prices without exception have
still an upward tendency. There is
a general feeling that we are going to
have a very large bminees this year;
although the temporary depression
on Walt street dampens the enthu
siasm ot some relative to the railroad
outlook for the year.—Engineering
and Mining Journal.
Distinguished Coal
It is quite likelv that James G. Blaine
I will soon enter ink. the coal pro uoing
business in tbe Monongahela valley,
where he owns a tract of coal. He
has already announced that he is
, going to give most of his time to hie
• coal railroad in West Virginia.
Chaffee has $200,000 in that road;
’ Senator Davis,of West Virginia.ssoo,-
000 cash; Elkins, the same; Bayard,
a little; Windom considerable, and
Bla.ne probably has $200,000. It
runs from the Baltimore and Ohio
to the source of the Potomac, and
thence south, connects with Richmond
i and Allegheny, and opens up timber
and coal.
A S2O 0U Bible Prize. —The pub-
Ushers of Rutledge's Monthly in the
, pnze puzzle department of their

lowing easy way for some one to make
S2O 00:
To the person telling which is the

Scriptures by February 10th, 1882,
e will give $20.00 in gold as a prize.
The money will be forwarded to tbe
winner Febinary 15th, 1882. Those
who try for the prize must send 20cts
in silver (no postage stamps taken)
with their answer, for which thev
will receive the March unmber of the
Monjjily, in which will be published
tbe name and addres cf (he winner
of the prize, with the correct answer
thereto. Cut this out; it may be

Miners Scalded and Blown Up
on the Comstock.— While Thomas
Matthews and Tliomas Grant were
charging a clack at the combination
hydraulic pumps lately, the hot water
whs forced out on them and they were
badly scalded. The former received
the water about hie neck and will
probably die. Grant was scalded on
the arms and shoulder and will live.
The men at work in the bottom of
the Forman shaft drilled into an un
expledod cartridge of Giant powder
a few clays ago. The drill caused it
to explode, and a miner named
Thomas was instantly killed by it.
His partner, James Rowe, lost one
eve and was so badly mangled that
both arms have been amputated. He
cannot possibly live, R.th men ware
riddled with rocks and present a hor
rible eight. Thomas leaves a wife
and four children. Thera were eight
others at work in the bottom of the
shaft, and they were only saved from
injury by an intervening cage, which
had Lcen lowered a moment. —Ne-
vada papers.
Bituminous —There is a very fair
business doing in this coal, which, al
though in better supply than it was,
is still scarce. Prices uuy be quoted
at $5@5.25 peq ton, although some
sake to desirable customers are made
at slightly lower prices. Cars con
tinue to he very scarce.
A meeting was held in this city on
Tuesday, for the purpose of eqnaliz- ;
iug freights on bituminous coals on
tbe Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsyl
vania railroads. Nothing ol import
ance was accomplished, although it is 1
thought that some anangernente will <
be made.
Tto regular tiansatl untie steamers I
are bringing this way so much freight I
that they are compelled to take an | *
unusual quantity of coal. The inci- |
dental steamer tiade is nut large, i |
I There is so great a demine for
[ freights Irom Europe to his country
that the importers of lion aie secur- *
ing thorn far mtj April. This will {

while it is believed thatth. shipments ,

In his weekly reports to parents
Mr V. B. Johnson observes perfect
candor. There is no glossing over of
statement, or Haltering representa
tions cf progress, but the truth ia told
in sententious style. "Review of
grammar last Friday unsatisfactory,”
said he in one of bis reports for last
week. Tbat is precisely the sort of
information the careful parent desires,
not that verylbir.g is always lovely.
The result is—parents sre enabled to
supplement Lis efforts with whatever
it needed in the way of encourage
ment or reproof—tbe pupil advances
ajd potions get tbe worth of their
money. So happily hva this system
operated tbat we hour from all sides
words of satisfaction with his practi
cal, systematic methods of imparting
instruction, aud with the actual pro
gress the school is making.
With such a such a school in our
midst it is absolute folly to send boys
and girls to exp ensive place t abroad,
where, removed from the oversight
and restraints of home, more corrup
tion is imbibed than education.
There ia room for a few mere pupils
in Mr. Johnson’s school.

THE DEAD.
Died—Janutiy 1, 1883, infant son of
William and Margaret Conrad, aged 10
mouths.
We watched his breathing through the
night—
His breathing soft and low—
As in his Incas! the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak—
So slowly move about,
As wo had lent him half our powers
To eke his being out.
Our very hopes belled our fears;
Our fears our hopes belied;
We thougnt him dying when be slept,
And sleeping when he died.
For when the morn came dim and sad
And chill with winter showers,
His quiet evellds closed—
He had another morn than ours.
