Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1881-10-29

The "leader" in Wedn ssday's Val
ley Times is too utterly ut.
The Valley Times leading editorial
Wednesday boiled down: "Hold me,
I'm the maddest |"
The Homecoming organ is not go
much in favor of an elective mine
Inspector as it was.
The election is close at hand. We
warn voters TO keep sharp lockout
for the stories of nomadic understrap-
pers, anonymous scribblers and edito-
rial bushwhackers.
If the Valley Times opposes the
appointment o. Gen. Longstreet as
member of the cabinet the President
will Of course back down and call an
other extra session of the Senate.
How the little Issues vanish Last
week it was an elective mine inspec-
tor; this week it is a Theoretical
fiction" The lambkins are too frolic-
some to stick to one thing very long.
On Monday Mr.. B. F. Stewart, a
prominent colored orator, was read
gu. of the republican party by the
News. 1t should have waited until
next day and read "a Democrat" in,
T. e., confirmed him.
The last issue of the JOURNAL 30
stunned the electric spirits who are
just now Illuminating the pages Of the
Valley Times with an aurora borealis
of legal thought that the exclamation
-"what in ell II we do now ?" is
almost proverb in Homecoming.
EVERY story and every argument
against us, so far has beeu boomer
ang that has sprawled the author.
The more of such the better. Multi.
ply and hitch to them each is an
excellent Salt River tug with an in
vsterate proclivity to travel up stream.
No true republican patron has re-
monstrated with us for advocating
our own cause.
No real democrat has asked US to
offend large body of republican
patrons.
Our course is satisfactory to our
patrons; it should be blameless by
people who are not patrons.
We are glad to be sustained by the
vigorous words of "No. g." He takes
the proper view of the matter. If we
had heard from him in time, we
should have left "a Democrat" in his
care. But all our own remarks were
in type when we heard from him, and
as we are a it'll, tehindhand, we
cannot throw them overheard.
The latest curiosity is a shadow
with a "bribe" in it's hand. The
bride is penny whistle" This
shadow" is threatening, bullying
and bulldozing" the people with the
penny whistle" Then the penny
whistle" is "transmogrified" into
mess of pottage." When the Valley
Times gets loose among lot of meta.
phors it is as unceremonious as bull
in china shop.
It's good thing for the country
that the Valley Times and its imme'
date henchmen were all "boYs about
eighteen years ago." AS a rule edi'
tors never won a single battle as gen.
erals on paper and lawyers were hor'
rible failures as commanders in the
field. The unborn condition of the
Valley Times during those pugnacioui
years ought to be celebrated imme'
diately after the election.
IF the Stalwarts win this campaign
the States Attorneyship two years
hence is fixed. While one of the firm
is running the legal department of the
Senate the other will "have such 6
grip upon the alleged political crimi'
nails of the county that it will be bad
term for democrats and worse for reg
ular republicans. And before thai
era editorial labor for the Valley Tsme'
will grow heavy as hot potato.
SQUARE.-Mr. Brace has three pa
pers urging his claims-a daily, semi
weekly and weekly; the JOURNAL
editor has three-a daily and two
weeklies. The advantage in issues is
