A black list has been prepared b 'The Atlanta Constitution" of railroad "whose trains are constantly coming into Atlanta behind time.' One of the beet of the storks th..t were attributed ti' Artt mus Ward related to raifroad who' trains were exasperatingly slow and en trust worthy. S lid Art -mus to one of tl: conductors of this road, as he wis riding along at a snail's pace upon "the morning express," "Does this road allow passen gers to make suggestions in regard to its management, in case the suggestions are submitted in a friendly spirit I The con ductor replied that he was prepared to listen to any hints on railway manage ment that passengers chose to tender liim. "'.Veil, Artemus went on. "I've been thinking it oyer, and it occurs to ma that BLACK LACE U N 7 I IM G S ml Iffilack faille, UBSsik r is"3 mo you ought to tracsftr your cow-catcher from the front to the rear of this train. For of course we're not likely to over take a cow, but a cow might stry into the train from the rear and bite a pnssen er." It is to be hoped that no train tiiat runs into Atlanta needs to have its cowcatcher reversed. COAL AND WAGES. There has been much outcry of late, specially among democratic politicians ird journal:sts, about the intolerably :ow wages paid iu Pcnnsylr nia c al nil); s. The coal barons, it has been said ! ing protected by the tariff, plunder the public in the price of coal, and plunder the miners in the low wages imposed. The ignorance of such criticism may be in p.trt apprehended when it is remem bered that no duties whatever protect mthracite coal producers, who have to meet competition from the producers of other coal costing in this country less than half as much. The official report for the last year shows that the actual valne of anthracite mined, was but $1.05 per ton, but in the same state, Pennsylva nia, the average value of bituminous coal mined was but 95 cents, in Mary land the same, and in Ohio 93 cents per ton. The quesiion as to actual wages paid is less easily settled, an 1 yet abundant videuce is accessible for any who honest ly dirs-ire it. A short time ago, for ex- anipl", tht-re was contributed to "The Engineering and Mining Journal" a table taken from the actual payrolls of a S'liuvlkill county colliery for the year IS; 8, showing the exact amount earned by e.'.ch individual, the number of days' work and the average rate per day of ten hours, the figures being in every cum net wage., after deducting the cost of nil power and supplies. The following show the actual earnings of the ten who earned most during the year, and also of the ten who earned least, at this colliery: SI IMSBM W;KS.

The men who avenge from f 3 to f 4.24 per day for a whole year can hardly be said to receive starvation wages. They were the ' must capable, no doubt, and yet it also I ITOVSLTILS I IN BLACK Diess Goods fkU ELEGANTLY appears that the least capable or le:;?. zealous earned over $2 per day, with only three exceptions, and thosj earned from 1.73 upward. Only four mo; :. i' the entire working force made as lki; an $.j(0, and that is more than the aver age wages of iirst-cluss skilled workm u in 1800, when the democratic p-irty ve:.i out of power and the long period of free trade came co an end. But if the producers of anthracite are n c protected, what influence can the tariff have upon the wages of liners? A very direct and controlling influence, because it creates new demand for labor in thousands of new mines, factories, mills and shops. The protected indus tries are expanded so rapidly that work- ers are drawn from other employments all oyer the country, and the wages of 'ill are thus advanced. The increasing demand for men, and the advance in wages paid in other employments, surely and rapidly lift the wages even of those whose products meet no foreign compe tition whatever.
