STAGNATIoN is the word. Last
week all was buoyancy over the prom
Use Of good work, but between coal
company and railroad quarrels the
prospect is gloomier, if possible, than
at any time this season.
RECENT conferences between Presi-
dents Garrett and Campbell have CIV
On rise to rumor that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company has pur-
chased the Cumberland and Piedmont
railroad. The report is not as yet con-
6rmed.
ODER was compelled to purchase Mr.
Ruhrs secondhand power.pre to try and
make our statement appear false. It's a
fact, the press was in his Office two weeks
before he purchased it-Press.
We will see about that when the
Press produces its honorable and
truthful young man." Remember,
there must be no default-no squirm-
ing-no crawfshing. Since the ques-
ton of veracity has been brought into
this business, we intend showing that
the honorable and truthful young
man" has lied, or that the Rress-the
truthful chronicler of the news -
has lied. We can do it.
ALONG with the outraged of every
class and cline the Alleganiam feels
the peculiar woe of failing to obtain
credit from the country newspapers.
Last Monday it unlimbered and plant
cd shot right in our midst:
The Frostburg JOURNAL filches from
the AHeganion news item of school statis-
tics, which the latter obtained with no lit
tie trouble about seven months prior to its
regular official publication, while at the
same time it gives our contemporaries cred
it for Sleepy-hollow news that required no
enterprise at all to secure. All we ask is
justice.
Without saying we are skeptical Of
that "enterprise" "seven months ago,
we feel like encouraging our neighbor
to go on in the good work, taking
care that growing age does not dimin-
ish its sprightliness or enfeeble its en-
ergies and to be especially careful
about yelling for Justice along the
way. Justice is slow coach, but
it often comes in an hour and way we
think not. At any rate, it is sure to
come at last. Don't yell.
AMONG other praiseworthy aspira-
tons the Alleganiam would like to be
regarded as the especial champion Of
the Ventilation Bill. So tenacious is
it of its misconception of this matter
that it makes a prodigious effort to
misunderstood our remarks last week
with regard to the justice of the de-
mand for ventilation by the miners,
and oil the we'll known deficiency in
the Dill granted, in that it provides for
no more ventilation than is already
obtained. The AUeganiam says:
The Frostburg JOURNAL INDUCES Itself
in q fling at the "Ventilation Bill" recent
ly passed. by the Legislature. Glittering
generalities are easily written now Won't
the JOURNAL be little more specific and tell
US Just where these defects are.
We are glad to inform our neigh
Dor that we have our information
from "a mutual friend who
knows all about how the amendment
transpired which produced the defici-
ency-how it was acceded to by the
friends of the bill for the purpose Of
making it unobjectionable and with
the hope Of obtaining their needs
hereafter.
The Allegonion need not mistake it
self about this matter; its advocacy OF
the bill had nothing to do with its
success.
And we can further prove from as hon
orable and truthful young man as there is
