MINING JOURNAL.

Saturday Morning, May o, 1885.
The Act incorporating the town
of Frostburg includes several verbs
IN the imperative mood. Witness for
instance the following sentence:
And all meetings of the Council
shall be public.
That is to say, taking a social view
of the matter, the Council must OBJ
serve sort of municipal etiquette to-
ward whomsoeyer of the people may
desire to audit their proceedings.
There need be no invitations extended,
nor ostentatious display of hospitality,
but when guests are in the house the
law intimatss very emphatically that
they should not be informed even in
terms of the tenderest civllity that
"their room is preferable to their
company"
The session of all sessions Is the
session in which the organization is
effected. People are naturally curl
GUS to note with what discretion their
agents will select their subordinate
officers, and as the charter filings the
door of the Chamber wide open TO all
who desire to attend, it does not APP
pear that they should be disappoint-
ed.
THE Frostburg JOURNAL plaintive
ly yet persuasively heads its editorial
advocating q conference of the minors
and operators, with selection from
scripture, "Come, let us reason to-
gether. "-Cumberland Times.
There was no "plaintively" about
it, brother. 1t was an argument
showing that the operators and mi
ners are living too close together in
business to be enemies; and that to
get into proper understanding of
their relations there should be an in
PRODUCTION, some. hand shaking and
all that pleasant kind Of thing.
But the Times can wager its last
cent safely on one fact-that when
ever the JOURNAL places the stamp
approval upon the Scriptures the
latter may be set down as in
fallibly solid.
PROMISES of peace between
England and Russia are the order of
the day at this writing. The war
fever, however, once it takes hold,
grows with each intermittent flush
until it becomes fixed. There will
be war, or something SO near it that
it will be difficult to note the differ
ence. An earned peace footing" is
nearly equivalent. The events of
next month will develop something
in the way of q fight, Or readiness for
fight on both sides, in which event
business will begin to improve with
July or thereabouts. The JOURNAL
will go on at $3.50 per ao,num. APP
ply at these headquarters on, Or
before, Or after that date. No re-
served seats, but the earliest corners
get the most dividend upon the capt.
tai invested.
To LAPSE in fullness is sorer than to
lie in need and falsehood is worse in
kings than beggars. Some of the
Pharisees will please note this fact
Coal Trade Journal.
The JOURNAL is one of those per-
manent institutions which has never
Elapsed" nor ever, but we will
not be exact, that is, us to topic and
date. But if we detect any "Pharisee
noting our facts" we will express Il
decided partially for the publican
and sinner"
WHEN IL man in public station
wants to be so very inoffensive to any
and everybody for the sake Of pop
ularlty, that man will eventuate of
ticially in failure Of the most pro-
nounced type. See if he doesn't.
This remark is not intended for
Frostburg. If it hits anybody here,
however, he is welcome to the coles
sal hint that it contains.
THOUGH our fascinating friend, Bob
Burdette, is having large audiences in
Canada 20 hear his lectures, owing
perhaps to his resemblance to certain
noted bank cashiers, lie is still said to
sigh for Frostburg and sight of its
noble Mvati.- Cumberland Tines.
Great prophets, old man, but we
suspect all news from Canada ria
