Mr.. Editor Please allow an old

valuable paper. l am one of the few
in Frostburg that has joined the Irish
Land League. The Land League is
more important to the Irish farmer
than many are aware Of Tn the first
place two thirds of the Irish farmers
are tenants at will, holding no leases.
They have 10 permanent agreement.
They pay rents semi-arnually, aud
each time, according TO contract, they
are at the landlords mercy, who ocn
evict according to law. 1t is MY
opinion TIE Irish farmers would be
content if they enjoyed the some
pro. ection as the Scotch and English !;
that is, twenty-one year leases. They
could improve and reap the benefit Of
their labor. The present system Of
land government which the Irish live
under is a scandal TO a civilized gov.
ernmcnt. Only a few ycals ago the
Emperor Of Russio divided land TO
forty millions Of his SORTS and set them
free. Prussia bought the land or The
old leudal lords and sold it to the
cultivatoru Tho French, in 1896,
drove the leudals out of tteir strong
holds and divided the land among Il g
people. England is the most oppres-
sive government in Europe to the
land cultiyator Ii am any Judge
of christian teachings the Irish land
lords are part OF the scorpions mon
toned in Revelations. MANY Of them
gather up the rent-the entire pro-
duce Of the land except few po,a-
toes and little butter which they
leave ior the poor cuItiyator. The
landlord often takes the rent to IL
fame and gambling houses in London
and Paris. If the British land cult
vators had any pluck or manhood
they would rid the land of such scor.

Can the Commercial see that it would

"in time of peace prepare for war;"

they are at least exceedingly silly. OF
one thing it may rest assured is, the

Samantha" always firm in her

The JOURNAL is grati6ed to learn
also that the "Meyersdale region is
amply able to take care of its own
interests" The news comes from
that section that its "B. G. 0. contract
has been taken away" even the black
legs were not able to save it. If this
thing goes on, the Meyersdale region
besides taking care of its own inter
ests, will have to take care of its
blacklegs sure enough, or the black
legs take care of Meyersdale-whittle'

pears little margin for propositions
of permission" to anything or any

actual bigness of the "squeal."

MISS MASONS CONCEPT.

1t was a very pleasant little concert which Mis-
Carrie L. Mason gave last evening at Chickerns
Hall. The Ncw-Yorli Philharmonic Club, under the
leadership of Mr. Richard Arnold, played some
ccent selections, among them n couple of move
ments from one of Haydn's symphonies Mr. Ar
mold himself was heard in some violin numbers
and a Mr. +. +. Powers, baritone with beautiful
voice, sang several songs. Miss Emily Wmant,
whose rich cOnralto is splendid this year ever,
sang an aria by Ponchielli, and later on, she gave
Adolphe Adams Noel" with force and dignity.
But how much more breadth her singing would have
if she would only phrase more carefully, and not
breathe with every third word
Miss Mason, the debutant of last evening, seems
to be a singer of decided promise. She has light
soprano voice, of no great power but of syInpa-
thetc quality, and with plenty of tlexibilIty. She
sings with taste, and she has evidently been well
taught. One would not predict a great future FOR
her from her work last evening, but then she was
evidently not at her best. The selections which she
made were not Wholly judiciOus, and she was, more
over under the influence of that embarrassment
which naturally attends first appearance in public.
But there is no reason why she should not do ex-
cellcnt work. Plenty of singers have accomplished
admirable things with smaller natural means than
she POSSESSES.

vEW 1FPIC4N EXPLORATIONS.

In the work of African exploration Belgium
is now taking the lead of all the countries oil
Europe. Her extraordinary enterprise III TINS
direction results from the active interest shown
bv King Leopold, who is the President OF the
general European society formed to carry Tor
ward the work of opening the Dark Continent
TO scientific research and commercial enter
prise. This society has branches in England
France. Germany, Italy, Belgium and Austria,
which contribute to It's funds, besides prosecut-
ing more or less of African research on thelr
own separate accounts. Last year Belgium KEPT
an expedition in the field in the region west Of
Lakes Nyassa and Tanganilla. Next season
she will have four parties at work upon
Joint plan, which is much the most compre-
hensive yet undertaken. 1t contemplates MOTH
ing less than the meeting in the heart OF the
continent of expeditions coming from the
north, south, east and west.
The four Belgian parties organized for this
great project are now preparing to start from
Brussels. The first, under Colonel WouYcr-
MAINS, will go to the east coast, and, striking
westward from Dar-es-Salam, port near

thov will cross the hill country to Lake
Mocro-Okatq and ascertain whether the
river LuaabO flows into that body OF water
Then they will go nOrthward to Nyangue, the
pont of meeting for all the four expeditions
The second party, under Professor DuSlei'
will leave Capstadt on the east coast and FOL
low in the footsteps of Livingstone up the
river ZambeSi as far rs LethOsi, where they
will turn northward, in order to reach Lake
Banguclo, the least known of thAgrcat Airl-
can lakes, which it is their chief purpose to
,xplore. They expect to Oyertakc Colonel
Wouvermanns' party in Casembe and go on
to Nvangue with them.
The third party, commanded by Co!onel
Strauch. is to meet Stanley on the Congo ana
aid him in the exploration of that stream.
They take with them feet Of small steam
boats which can be transported III sections and
carried around the falls and rapids OF the

mot necessary 70 say how embarrassing and how
deIoterious such a contingency would be.
With a virtual tie permanently existing IN lhe
Senate. il is a matter of the utmost Importance
from political point of view, that the RepnD-
licons shall control the House. to give PreSl-
dent Arthur anything like fair opportunity
for an efficient administration OF the Govern
ment. We do not agree with many OF our con-
temnorarics in thinking it a matter of no conSe-
oucnce which party controls Congress we
believe tbe Republicans have shown in the last
twenty years that they are safer, more intelll-
Gent and better intentioned legislators and adj
ministrators than the Democrats; that their
avowed purposes are more worthy OF support,
and that the public opinion Of their party is
more powerful for good upon its leaders.
Every proper scheme of reform can he better
carried out by Republicans than it eau possibly
be by Democrats. The control of the National
Legislature is therefore a consideration OF
great importance, and it should not be left out
of view Ivy the intelligent Republicans OF the
XIth District.
We admit. of course that if Mr. Astor were
an unworthy candidate, or if his opponent
offered better guarantees than he does OF lalth-
ful and honorable service, it would Toe reason
why Republicans might hesitate to support
him. A corrupt machine would be practically
