MINING JOURNAL.
FItOBTDUKO, IIP., SKI'T. :10, 1888
When a corporalicn created presumably
for the public benefit is given unusual
powers and they arc used to oppress the
people in a cruel and grasping manner, It
Is the duty of the people's representatives
*to adopt such judicious measures ns will
secure to the people their full rights. * *
If a citizen is oppressed by a creature of
the State—to wit, a corporation—he should
have proper relief. A citizen, who is a
part of the State, has rights which should
not be infringed upon by a creature of the
State.
The above is the language of a New
York statesman. Were he in Alle
gany county, either daring a suspen
sion of mining or a local political
campaign, such utterances would place
him before onr affectedly virtuous cor
poration devotees and parasites as a
communist, and before those who care
nothing for the workingman but the
“Almighty Dollar" be makes, as a
resident who should be put down and
kicked out. So that it really costs
something to maintain the truth now
as it did among the Fbillistines of an
cient days.
A very young editor, “not a year
old," prancing around with a blanket
sheet toga, yelling “look at us!” is an
unsophisticated spectacle. The per
sistency of the caper inclines us to
exclaim —“0, the injured memory of
Herod I” ________
CORRESPONDENCE
MUTA TJOXS OF POLITICS.
A Strong Plea for the River and
Harbor Appropriations—
.l False Cry.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 30,1883.
To the Mining Journal ;
My last letter was sent you on the
eve of three political conventions of
more than ordinary interest to the
readers of the Journal. The out
come of that in the Sixth district, the
nomination of McComas, I am sure
was particularly satisfactory to his
party associates among your people.
He is a talented and agreeable gen
tleman, deservedly popular and the
vary strongest candidate that could
have been selected. If the democracy
follow suit and select their strongest
man, the fight will not be so one-sided
as in the two last congressional con
tests, for between McComas and Blair
a close encounter may be expected.
The sweeping victory of the Admin
istration in the New York republican
convention, resulting in the nomina
tion of an able and popular gentle
man, now Secretary of the Treasury,
seems to be shorn of its laurels by the
“frozen fact” that questionable meth
ods, in one instance nothing less than
forgery, were used to secure it.
The mutations of modern politics
were never exemplified to a greater
extent than within the two last years
in New York. First came Conkling,
brilliant and haughty; whose word
was law in the councils of his party ;
brooking no rival and having no su
perior ; the partisan “monarch of all
he surveyed.” Under the adverse
administration of Garfield and Blaine
—an administration which, but for his
efforts, would have never existed,
Conkling “fell from his high estate,"
lost all the power and influence he
ever wielded, and for a short time al
most vanished from public gaze. In
the "lottery of assassination" which
followed, his bosom friend drew the
capital prize and now stands at the
head of the nation. Under Gen. Ar
thur's influence the political idols that
were reared in the days of his adver
sity are completely overthrown and
the old dynasty restored. All this in
the short space of two years. But
changes as sudden and remarkable
may mark the corresponding length of
time to come. Who knows ?
In the democratic convention in
New York the delegates gained quite
a triumph over themselves by taking
such action as will secure a full and
united party vote at the next election
Their choice,though hitherto unknown
to fame in a national sense, has an en
viable record as Mayor of the popu
lous city of Buffalo, and is a man of
immense popularity throughout that
part of the State bordering on the
lakes. He is evidently the strongest
candidate who was before the conven
tion, and the contest between him and
Judge Folger, his republican antago
nist, will be the hottest ever waged in
the State.
The spasm of virtuous indignation
over the passage of the River and
Harbor bill at the late session of Con
gress reached Allegany in due course
of time, as appears by the proceedings
of your late republican county con
vention. 1 can’t uudeistand the con
sistency of people who condone the
legislation, for instance, by which
hundreds of millions of acies of the
best lands in the country and millions
of dollars in loads have been present
ed to the railroads, taking exception
to an appropriation so insignificant in
contrast such as is contained in this so
badly abused bill. That bill received,
and deseivedly, the support of tho
entire Maryland delegation. It con
tained nn item of $450,000 tor the
improvement of the harbor at Balti
more ; $56,500 lor other harbors and
, rivers in the State, and SIO,OOO for a
survey for a ship-canal from the Ohss
-1 apeake to the Delaware bay. This
laet improvement would have the ef
-1 feet of lessening the distance from the
| port of Baltimore to the Atlantic
i ocean, and to all other parts of the
I' world, 200 miles, thereby economizing
1 time and space and facilitating not
1 only the commerce of our chief city,
but of this and other States, especially
of the great West, of which it is the
leading entrepot. The vote in favor
of that bill was in harmony with the
theory upon which the canal and Na
tional Turnpike were built—improve
ments which were the making of
Cumberland, and the latter of which
in ante-railroad days dispensed pros
perity along its entire length and peo
pled the mighty West. It has been
charged that this bill was filled with
extravagant appropriations for insuffi
cient streams, in nowise contributing
to the interests of commerce and not
navigable waters under the laws of
the United States. This, if true, is a
serious charge, but the challenge was
made on the floor of the House to
came such a stream, and that chal
lenge to this day remains unanswered.
Then it is denounced as “a steal” by
the great dailies of New York and
immediately the cry is echoed by
many of the rural papers who rely
upon the aforesaid dailies to furnish
them with ideas and opinions. They
go farther and, by implication at least,
make it appear as if every Congress
man who voted for the bill is to per
sonally profit by the operation, and
maybe pocket a portion of the “swag.”
Now, when it is known that every cent
appropriated must be expended by
direction of the Secretary of War and
under supervision of the engineer
corps of the U. S. government, does
not such a charge appear most silly
and absurd ? And besides, if an ex
travagant sum is appropriated, unless
there is corruption and dishonesty in
the War Department and among the
officers of the army, no improper use |
of the people’s money can be made,
as they are cot allowed to spend more
. than is necessary for the purpose de
sired. No appropriation has been
made in the bill except based upon
■ estimates made by the government
engineers, the necessity of the same
• shown in their report, and the whole
i endorsed by tho Secretary of War.
- So as far as I can see the great out
cry against the alleged iniquity of the
, River and Harbor bill ia all “bosh,"
I and a great injustice to members of
• Congress of both parties who, in vot
i ing for that measure, did so with the
honest purpose of subserving the best
i interests of the country and tho wel
■ fare of its people.
i The improvement of our water
, ways as avenues of commerce is one
: of the antidotes with which to cure
; the ills engendered by the railroad
despotism of the country, and it seems
. hard that a vote ia that direction
I should be considered a crime. No
i doubt many denounce the measure,
i believing it to have been an improper
one, but the cry is kept up mostly
through selfish motives, and by dema
: gogues who thereby seek to gain per
sonal or political advantages. The
“salary grab” was denounced in the
same unreasoning stylo, for in that
case there was no impropriety in vot
ing for an increase of salary to take
place in future, but the great wrong
and rascality consisted in voting for
and taking pay for services rendered
before the law was passed. Anon.
City Vieira of the Coal Trade,
The paragraphs bslow are taken
from New York Coal of this week,
and the sub-headings indicate the stat
us of the trade in the cities named ;
New York. —The storm during the
close of last week has aggravated an
evil from which both the Clearfield
and, though to a lesi degree, the
Cumberland shippers were suffering ;
and owing to the inadequacy of the
car supply and the partial blockade,
bituminous coal is getting very scarce
and almost a famine ia staring us in
the face.
Those of the Cumberland compan
ies who ship by canal are met by
another difficulty in the shape of an
advance in freights, duo to a scarcity
of vessels from Georgotown, of from
15 to 20 cents. During the last few
days $1.40 has been paid to Hoboken,
$1.55 to the Sound, and $1.75 to Bos
ton. This may have the effect of re
ducing canal shipments. There is
also, though in a more limited de
gree, a rising tendency in freights in
Baltimore. We quote $4.60@54.65,
nominally for Cumberland, and $4.50
@4.00 for Clearfield.
Chicago. —lt is quite a serious ques
tion with some dealers who have con
tracted to deliver large lots of Eas
tern bituminous coals in October and
November, as to how they will be able 1
to fill their orders on time. A mod
erate amount of Cumberland is now
received, though not as much as it
was expected would c-ime here after
the settlement of the labor difficulties
at the mines. Manufacturers are
larger buyers than formerly, and the
soft coal market may be said to be
fairly on (he upward turn.
Boston. —There is little to be said
as to bituminous coal ; there is con
siderable coming along, but the
amount outside of old contracts is
small. The market is, however,
firmei'than in anthracite lines; for
there is less pressure to eell, because,
with the scarcity of cars, some of the
companies represented here are trou
bled to fill orders at hand. We think
Eastern trade ia paying a trifle more
for bituminous coal, especially Cum
berland, than a fortnight ago. There
is nothing new in gas and provincial
coals.
Philadelphia. —The bituminous bus
iness is fair and active. The com
plaint about the scarcity of cars con
tinues, and to this ia added the fear
that the heavy rain of Friday and Sat
urday have impeded shipment from
the mines. It is only a fear, however,
as nothing definite is yet know as to
the extent of the storm on the roads
about the mines, though it is pretty
well settled severe than right here in
Philadelphia. It is safe to predict
that the moving of coal from tho
bituminous region will not be serious
ly impeded, and were it not for the
trouble in getting a sufficient number
of cars, the people in the trade would
be in satisfactory frame of mind.
Tho Coal Trade Journal reports
that “bituminous coal is quoted as
active, and the operators in all the
varieties are reporting more business
being done ; rates are not improving,
but the better qualities of coal find a
market at the full rates, while the
inferior grades can only be disposed
of at cut rates. We have the tonnage
to end of last week, and there is a
slight improvement in both Cumber
land and Clearfield. The other dis
tricts, which were so active when
Cumberland was idle, appear to be
feeling the effect of resumption in
that district. There is no likelihood
of any further strike in the Ousaber
■ land district, and the special police
have been discharged. Clearfield
operators and representatives com
plain of an insufficient supply of oare (
and coal not at all in amount sufficient
for regular orders.”
The same paper also says "a nu
merous clique is of opinion that coal
is cheaper lelatively than many other
commodities, and as a necessary conse
quence, it must and will role higher
i than it does at present. We give
this opinion for the consideration of
r our readers.”

Heroes of the Plains.
In American history there are
no more interesting figures than the
Heroes of the Border. Bold, dashing,
adventurous and patriotic; loyal to
1 friends, to country and to the interests
of society, their work was singularly
effective in the advancement of wes
tern civilization. With seeming
recklessness, their efforts were in the
interest of law and order, and the
people owe them a debt of gratitude
they do not forget. Their page in
history is as fascinating as it is hon
orable, and there is a peculiar pleas
ure in reading the narrative of their
wonderful exploits. Among those
whose careers were singularly adven
turous, are Kit Carson, Wild Bill,
Buffalo Bill, Oapt. Payne, Texas Jack,
California Joe, Capt. Jack and others,
whose achievements have made them
justly and widely famous. They
have a warm place in the hearts of
the people, and a prominent one in
their admiration. It ia appropriate
that their achievements should be
recorded, and we note with pleasure
the forthcoming of a new book from
the press of N. D. Thompson & Co.,
New York and St. Louis, called “The
Heroes of the Plains,” covering the
ground of border history. It is pro
fusely illustrated with 100 engravings
and 16 colored lithograph plates. It
is sold by subscription through can
vassing agents, and presents an oppor
tunity to agents to make money es
pecially inviting. We advertise it
in another column.
A Historical Gorge.
Among the Capon mountains of
Hampehire county, West Virginia, is
a gorge called Hanging Rook, which
possesses more than ordinary histo
rical and romantic interest. A nar
row road runs along the side of a
brawling stream, and above it on
either hand tho wooded cliffs rise to
a height of several hundred feet. A
band of Catawba Indians who were
eneamped in the gap in 1731 were
set upon by a party of hostile Dela
wares and totally exterminated. A
few years later some prowling French
man and Indians fired from an am
bush on Ensign Daniel Morgan, “the
hero of Stillwater and the Oowpene,"
who was passing through the gap
bearing dispatches to Winchester.
Two soldiers who were with him fell
from their horses dead, while Morgan
with the blood streaming from a ter
rible bullet wound, clasped his mare
about the neck with both arms, and
wai borne lately back to a neighbor
ing fort, where he was lifted from the
■addle imemible. In 1864 the gorge
waa the scene of a fierce eraalry fight
between some roving troopers from
the Federal and Confederate armies.
Recently surveyors have located the
rente of the Baltimore, Cincinnati and
Western Railroad directly through
the pass.
A Cumberland Hotel Burned.—
The Centennial Hotel, formerly the
Potomac House, in Cumberland, was
partly destroyed by fire Monday
night. Basil Garlita is the proprietor,
and the building ia owned by his wife.
Moat of the furniture was saved,
though much of it was damaged.
There was $5,000 insurance on the
building, which will more than cover
the loss. Owing to the bursting of
the city water main there was great
difficulty in extinguishing the fire.
Many other buildings were threatened,
but none damaged.
How People Talk. —Most people
talk nonsense when they are idle.
The human brain is naturally viva
cious and elastic, hence that versatil
ity which is always to be found in
men of sense. Sensible people talk
about the weather when there is no
sense in talking about it, just as natur
ally as they do about anything that
suggests itself to them when they are
unengaged. For instance we heard a
gentleman say, recently :
"We need snow badly."
The miners on the Hannibal and
St. Jo railroad at Brevier; on the W.
B. St. Louis and Pacific railroad at
Renick and Huntsville ; on the M. K.
and T. railroad at Elliott, and on the
C. and A. at Shafton, are out for an
advance of wages, and have issued a
request by handbill to their fellow
workmen in other parts to steer clear
of those places until the difference is
settled.
Croup, it is sai 1, can be cured in
one minute, and the remedy is simply
alum and sugar. The way to accom
plish the deed is to take a knife or
grater, and shave off in small particles
about a teaspoonful of alum ; then mix
it with twice its amount of sugar, to
make it palatable, and administer it |
as quickly as possible. Almost in
stantaneous relief will follow.
Canal Boats in the Air—A
summary method of unloading coal
boats by the Aire & Calder Naviaga
tion Company, at Qoole, Scotland, is
to hoist the coal boat weighing thirty
tons bodily out of the water with a
hydraulic crane, and literally turn it
over into a larger vessel, just as a
coal hod is emptied on a fire.
A Lively Time Predicted. —J.
A, Walters, of Kentucky, has issued
a printed postal card, stating that at
9 a. m. on the 7th of October the
comet plunges into the sun and the
whole earth will be in darkness 72
hours, the Biblical period, and that
the whole West will be engulfed in
an earthquake.

it is made from many valuable medi

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
Death of Col. Borden.—A brief
notice of Col. Borden’s death appeared
in our columns last week. Since the
sad announcement then made we have
been able to add the following par
ticulars of his useful and prominent
career: He was born in Fall River,
Mass., July 19th, 1819. After being
educated at Fall River and Randolph
College, he went to New York at the
age of 19. Some years later he was,
upon the establishment of the Fall
River line of steamers, appointed
general agent of the line. This posi
tion he held until his death, with
the exception of an interval of ten
years, when the line was under the
control of the Fisk-Gould combina
tion. The firm of which he was senior
member were reappointed general >
agents of the line after it passed out
of the hands of these speculators. In
addition to the Fall River line of
steamers the firm were general agents
of the Fall River Iron Works and of
the Borden Mining Company of Mary
land. Colonel Borden waa one of the
first members of the Union League
Club, and was also a member of the
New England Society, of which he
was president in 1875 and 1876. He
was a director of the Fall River Line
of steamers and a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, of the Ameri
can Institute, and of the Historical
Society. In 1845 he became colonel
of the Eighth Regiment of New York
State Militia. Col. Borden was al
ways a staunch Republican, although
be did not engage actively in politics.
He was senior warden of the Church
of the Holy Apostles, at Ninth avenue
and Twenty-eighth street.
Col. Borden and the late Mr. A. C.
Greene were of nearly equal age, and
came together early in life. Intimate
social and business relations followed,
terminating only with the death of
the latter last winter. Thorough con
fidence and accord were felt and sus
tained by mutual integrity of feeling
and conduct. It fell to Col Borden’s
lot to testify the last act ot friendship
by visiting and standing by his dying
associa’e. A striking circumstance
in connection with this brief recital
of facts is that Col. Borden died on
Mr. Greene s birthday.
It is not known whether his death
will effect any changes in administra
tive affairs here at the ocal works,
though it is sincerely and g enerally
hoped not. Mining operations were
suspended several days as a mark of
respect, and Mr. C, A. Greene atten
ded the funeral,
Look on this Picture :
The Journal contained thirteen col
umns of reading matter last week and
fifteen columns of advertisements.
And then on this :
There are many methods in this world
of ouis, but the shrewd man is he who
advertises.
Both the above clippings are from
yesterday’s Lonaconing Review. Per
haps Harry, like the Irishman who,
seeing a “dead drnnk" lying in a
gutter, remarked : "Cob, be jabers,
and there's a mon got too much av
phat I have not enough av,"
| The Easton Ledger tells a good
one, and wo print the story as a knock
down inducement for a full registra
tion in Allegany county:
“You are not going to register! Why
not?”
"Oh, well, there’s nobody In tbo county
I want to vote for."
“Well, perhaps there will he somebody
running for an office you weuld want to
vote against.”
“Ah ! yes, yes, that’s so ! I forgot that.
I’ll go and register at once."
Personal. —New York Coal speaks
of Col. Borden as “the oldest member
in the Cumberland coal trade, with
which he was closely identified.”
The News says “Mr. A. H. Dowden
now attends to the dutiesof Mr. L. T.
DeWitt, clerk to the connty commis
sioners, when the latter is necessarily
absent attending to his duties as su
perintendent of the Atlantic and
Georges’s Creek coal company."
