What is the matter with thooeAl
at Fort Pavne that the miners do 1
not want to work by the ton? At
all the mines in this section of the
United Ktatei where regular min

have struck when demand d to l

what is called a. scale to work by
carrying witn thy thickness of,
the coal. Fan it be possible that
.he coal miners at Fort Payne la
bor under the impression that they i
can not make wages when put to. j
work by the ton? There is surely!
u a nigger “in the woodpile’’ Can |
the Journal, who sneered at Tren-]
ton’s resources last week, explain?
People who Jive in glass houses!
should not throw stopes. Trenton 1
does not depend upon Lookout 1
mountain for coal. Tnerc is Foal 1
in Lookout mountain near this |
point, but w» have no doubt but
that a strike would be in order if
miners were compelled to work the
veins on ton scales. Wegivethem
the big veins in Sand mountain.
Some delay has been experienc

State have apparently no- resource

Advice to a New State
The people of Montana held their
election some days ago and chose a
legislature, but the republican offi
ciais were not satisfied with the re
sult and are dow engaged in revising
the election with a view to bringing
it out on their side.
If the democrats can reverse an
election for Governor in West Vir
ginia,. there is no reason why the
repo hi ic« os may not r**v**rs*- an fi <• ,
ion for the legislatin'# in Mmitu
i' is not a quest oil of right, but
power.
