The above is the title of a twenty.
eight column Weekly Newspaper,
recently established in Frostburs,
Allcgary county, Maryland.
We are aware that we have entered
crowded ficld-that the competition
for public favor, ON the part of news
papers, is so notably extensive as 10
make the establishment Of additional
papers matter of grave considera-
ton. Especially so, when the MI.
merous ami increasing demands of
journalism are so generally deserving
Of support.
However, VIC accept this fact an
not prejudicial to the establishments
of our enterprise. for we hold that
every institution, having laudable
object, lcgitimately conducted, has a
moral right to live !; and the fact of
increasing journalistic candidates,
asking, and in all, but comparatively
a few cases, receiving popular sup.
port, indicates the prevalence Of .
healthy public sentiment with re-
spcct thereto. 1t is we'll known that
newspapers, in general, by assuming
a prudent censorship Of public man
ners and proper custodianship 81
public morals, become the best con-
SENATORS of the public peace AMI
the most effective promoters of tl,s
public welfare.
Recognizing in Frostburg prom
Using location, amid populous com.
munity, and encouraged by the coma
sci of some of it's citizens, VIC have
been induced to attempt the supply
of long-fclt want-a home puoe-.
We design devoting our best abil.
tiles to making it emphatically "A
Newspaper. st thy avoiding poll
tics, except, probably. simple state
ments of facts from both parties, orr
efforts will, necessarily. be directed
to the enhancement of the general
welfare and the further development
of the immense resources of this rich
section. We shall particularly Gu
deavor to make the paper suited to
the wants of the community by Civ
ing, as fully as possible, the Local
News of Town and County. We
shall not, however. neglect to keep
our readers we'll informed upon the
leading topics of the day by publish
ing the most important Foreign, Ma
tional and State News.
In short. W" are pledged to No
party, attached to no creed and con-
troied by no faction, and by faithfully
Adi'cring to an independent p"slt'",:'
we hope to furnish a paper deserving
universal support.

TIE RISE IN CoEFEE.-The recent ex-
traordinary rise in the price of coffee has
produced much discussion in commercial
circles. Tie price of good Rio in cargo,
for instance, has within few weeks adj
vanced from II cents to nearly II cents
per pound, gold. OTHER descriptions OF
coffee have risen nearly as much. 1t is
stated that there are at present but forty
odd thousand bags of coffee in first hands

dealers are ordering cargoes from Europe

The Philadelphia Ledger of recent dat

The Philadelphia Ledger of recent date
has the following:
By the failure of c. T. Ycrkes, Jr., & Co.,
stock operators, the funds of the city
treasury are found in deficit to the amount
of $47S,00O Mcssrs Yerkes & Co. have
considerable property-enough, it is said,
with the securities on the official bond of
the city treasurer, which is for 100000, to
secure the city from loss. There were re-
ports on the streets yesterday that other
parties, operating largely in stock securi-
ties, were using the monies of the city
treasury in the same way and probably on
like terms as Ycrkes & Co. used them
What we desire to call attention to lust
now is this bad management and unwar-
ranted use of public monies, not only by
the officers o, Tie city, but by the custo-
for both use them and profit by them in
the same way. Besides this large loss to the
city treasury by the failure of Yerkes & Co.,
we have been informed that the way up
from $12n,GO0 to $4,000.
1t is understood that this money of the
people OF the State was loaned to this spccu-
lating stock firm without collateral or secu-
rity Of any kind, tie State officials loaning
it to them lnlawfully, and criminally put
ting the price paid for its use in their own
pockets
The business of loaning public funds en-
trusted to their keeping by State and MT
n:cipal fiscal officers and putting the inter
est received into their own pockets has in
some places come to be regarded as a regu-
lar Gf illegaD pcrquisite of the trcasurcrship
What the practice msy lead to is shown
in the above casc where the trcasurer's
bondsmen are now legally responsible for
over $600,Oco.

WESTERN RIvAIEY.-It appears that
the western rivals of Chicago are already
preparing to appropriate the business ON
which that city has thriven. The st. Louis
Republican publishes statistics of the trade
of Chicago points to the great void occa-
s'onCd in the commerce of the Northwest,
and claims that new duty devolvcs upon
st. Louis That duty is not to wrest from
Chicago its legitimate trade, but to supply
the regions now cut Off from the Lake City.
The st. Louis P oplc are exhorted not to
be die, but to 20 at once into the field
buy the farmers crops and sell him the
store goods he wants. As one means of
securing this trade, the employment of the
many idle men in Chicago-merchants who
have lost ali as well as statesmen thrown
out of situation-who know the men,
the laws and the trade of the Northwest,
is invited. These would serve St. Louis
interest, and form an addition to the popu-
lation. Cincinnati Milwaukee and some
other entcrprising places are also conspir-
ing against the burned-out city.-Sun.

The New York Tribune, referring to the
decision Of Chancellor Zabriskic, of New
Jersey, which sustains the lease in pcrpctu-
ity of the works of the united companies
of that State to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, remarks:
"rhis decision completes great monop-
oily. 1t gives to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, of which the Hon. Thomas A.
Scott is controlling spirit, an unbroken
right of way from tidewater, in New York
harbor, to point far out in the great spa
ces west of the Rocky mountains and
leading, possibly, to the Pacific 1t is too
much power to give to one corporation
1t is creating colossal interest, which
must overshadow all others that approach
it in any spirit of healthy competition, and
which is sure to make itself felt in the
Legislature of each State in which it has
ramitications."

Bancker has brought from Chicago to New

Among the ruins of the Western News
Company's establishment, where an i'm
mcnse stock of periodicals and books was
reduced to ashes, there was found single
leaf of a quarto bible charrcd around the
edges. 1t contained the first chapter of
the Lamentations of jeremiah, which opens
with the following words: "How doth
the city sit solitary that was full of people!
How is she become widow! she that was
great among the nations and princess
among the provinces, how is she become
tributary She wccpeth sore in the night,
and her tears are on her checks; among all
