MINING JOURNAL. FROSTBURO, MD., NOV. 4. 1838. The prsvalet.ee of diphtheritic and typhoid disease* ia well calculated to excite grave apprehensions. Tie cases so far have exhibited the wore) phases, nearly, if not all, terminating fatally. Undoubtedly the origin lies in some abnormal atmospheric conditions, leaving to contagious opportunities the work of communication and devel opment. For this probable cause ex treme care should be observed in at tending funerals of persons dying o! diphtheria or typhoids. Indeed, it is to be doubted whether such services should not be dispensed with. It is quite likely we have not wit nessed the worst of the horrible dis order. In this event it will have been pre-eminently wise if we have con sulted our physicians as to the best preparatory method of meeting a most unwelcome emergency. We would not hoist a needless dan ger signal. Bat a great peril threat ens our little ones—a peril which in the aggregate ie quite as destructive as yellow fever. Let us look it in the face and act accordingly. Sah Wellek once said that “the application of a remark depends on the bearin' on it." After quoting our comments last week upon governor Hamilton’* pub lie appearance in behalf of the demo cratic ticket after his "confidential" work last fall against bis party, the Cumberland News desires to learn whether, not having followed the gov ernor’s advice then, we are going to do it this fall. The governor did not advise us last fall. The News was more beneficent ly favored and profited thereby. This fall, however, our esteemed con temporary goes back upon its valua ble friend of a year ago, and vents criticisms upon his current perform ances which it were flattery to call ungrateful. All of which demonstrates that the governor's example ie, in the sight ot his few friends and many foes, a fear ful instance of unpaid disloyalty. Iv there are any anonymous slan ders of candidates of either party held in reserve f.r the last moment, ns was the case last fall, there is but a short time left for the dynamite to' work in. Fiends, touch them off, but gentle men voters, beware of giving credit to the explosions I CORRESPONDENCE Toldleg— I,ocnl amt General, Washington, I). C., Oct. 31,1882. To the Mining Journal: The lull which always precedes the storm—when the elements are gath ered and held, ns by an invisible hand, to be launched forth at the prescribed moment with all the force and fury of which Nature is capable—that peiiod of inaction in the political world is now here. As a matter of course the organa on both sides are beastieg of anticipated victory. No matter how dismal the prospects may be, you may always rely on words of cheer and encouragement from the average par ty paper. But if all reasonable signs do not fail the republican losses in New York, Pennsylvania and Massa chusetts notably will be great. Their chances ol capturing Delaware and several southern districts are very fair, but the outlook in general is not flat tering to their success. The unex pected so eften happens in political contests that he who would aspire to bs a prophet in such matters enters upon a very uncertain line of business. The last legislature in Ohio arranged the districts so that the republicans would be able to carry sixteen ont of twenty-one, but when election day came along the people reversed their calculations and gave that identical number to the other side instead. The united democracy will swoop New York city, and Allan Campbell be laid on the shelf. Ho may be a democrat in that city, but if of no bet ter use to (he party there than he w-.s in Allegany county, Md..his loss will be a great gain to them. It is some what remarkable what absurd posi tions men will take to Btcure place and power. Mayer Grace and comp troller Campbell hava had control of New Ycik for several years and aro now leading the movement for reform. | hi* i! it has any logical meaning should indicate the necessity for re- ' form in their own methods and man- ! ageinent, 1 hepe to see Judges Alvey and Syetter elected in your circuit. I was in ,aior of Hotter lor the nomination i because he was tried and true and found by experience to be “the right ■ man in the right place." The same 1 principle will apply as between Messrs. Syester and Stake. The lat ter is a young lawyer, comparatively in-tried in legal loro, while the legal ability and acumen of Mr. Syester is well established. He gained ditin guished honor while attoruey-gentrai of the State, and in all of the noted trials in which ha then became en gaged he encountered the ablest and meet learned jurists and advocates at the Maryland bar, and on every occa sion reflected credit upon himself, las tre upon the position he held, and honor upon the State of which he was the legal champion. It is a rather singular coincidence that while republicans claim gains in democratic Slates, the democrats claim the same in republican ones. Before another issue of your valua ble paper the results will be known, and in the meantime we can only pro claim to the combatants, as did the heralds in ancient tourneys—"fight and God be with the Eight!" Anon. City View* of the Coal Trade. New Yorlc. —The Coal Trade Jour nal say* “ ths bituminous tonaage re ports show a very good output, but the coal is in such demand that there is no difficulty in placing all the coal that arrives at tide-water. On the contrary, the operator* in good ooal complsin of an insufficient supply to meet the requirements of their regular trade, which they find is growing up on them all ths time. The contracts are being filled as rapidly as tbs ves sel tonnage that is available affords, for the prime reason that the freights sre high and likely to continue so ; the eastern conaumers of bituminous have not as much coal on hand or on the way, as they had at this time a year ago, and the market for this quality of coal will no doubt be ac tive all winter. The rate ot freight fiom Baltimore end Georgetown makes coal shipped from thence cost more delivered than does the coal fiom the other points; nor does the net rate to the operator for New York ooal pan out so well. There is still muoh discussion as to the low contract rates for Cleaifield coal that have been made during the past spring and summer. In any event the stirring up of these special rates will prove of great benefit to the trade at largo, as it ia now generally understood that all the operators are on equal terms so far as the railway transportation is concerned. ’ Coal reports "the Clearfield opera tors as still, to somo extent, forced to take coal from the Cumberland com panies to fill certain orders, as the schedule rates are prohibitory in some business. There ia, besides, a scarcity of oars in the Clearfield legion, which is hampering the operators, who have a right to ask that the sett'ement of pending matters be as speedy as possible. The trade is quiet, and as the Clearfield operators are not pur chasing now as much as they Lave been doing, transactions are limited, though prices are still tolerably firm. For Cumberland, alongside, §4.70@ $4 85 is quoted, while for Clearfield §4.85@5.00 is nominally asked." In Boston, the same paper reports, "there is a good demand for bitumin ous coal. Of the provincial oulm es pecially, there ia a small quantity here, and vessels cannot be chartered in sufficient numbers to fill the de mand. As for Pennsylvania bitumin ous, the Cumberland men have it all their own way. The railroad distur bances make the Clearfield men more than ever unwilling to bid for orders, or even take any. They are exper iencing ao'liltle difficulty in keeping up with ’the demands of their con tracts. Cumberland is a trifle firmer at Georgetown at $3.35, and unchang ed at $3 50 ut Baltimore. Freights at both ports continue very high and prevent the natural activity that the wants of the consumcre i.ow warrant." MISC K 1.1, AXK OIS ITKMS.
