Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1885-02-07

rural correspondent of the Frostburg
Mining JOURNAL, who with fine disre-
gard for logic and Lindlay Murray's
laws, delivers the following learned
opinion on canal affairs
Welearn that the Canal Board have had a
meeting and that 81 cents have been agreed
upon as the rate Of tolls for 1885. If this is
SO, we need not get excited over the probable
large shipments by canal this year, for it
must be remem bered that the great agitation
of last spring was for reduction of tolls to Is
cents ton, and there is now no reason on
the part of the shipper to change this demand.
1t is our firm opinion that if the tolls on the
canal are not reduced to % cents a ton, that
many tons less will be shipped this year than
last, by canal. If better prospects does not
present themselves for the canal, than are at
present indicated, there will be but very few
boatmen undertake to boat this year. A good
seasons shipments must be guaranteed before
the majority of boatmen will commence, as
they have peen forced by last years arrange
ment to get work eswhere.
The next thing we know Of some
Cumberlander will write thesis on
mining coal and there will be case
of unorthodox theology for the ''news-
paper with q religious circulation" to
revel in to the extent of eleven syllable
adjectives, to say nothing Of verbs,
adverbs and other parts Of speech a
yard long at least. Though the above
opinions may be sound.
We will not fully defend the CRU
raj correspondent" albeit the latter
has grounds to turn the Times COM
ment upon itself. "The pews exalt-
ing itself above the pulpit is a
dreadful fracture of one Of "Llndley
Murray's laws" We say "dreadful"
because we do not like the word,
"fne," as descriptive of sighted
logic Or law of any kind.
The cease of layman instructing
the clergy, etc, is defined as "smus-
ing" Not necessarily. That sort
of thing happens every day without
provoking a risible. Whenever our
esteemed contemporary observes a
case like that it should not "make
fun" especially if tho "layman" ana
'pew" are passing themselves off as
christians. Over such manifestations
of unregeneracy it is said the angels
weep. Then why should the Times,
itself engaged in a great, good work,
laugh at the follies of the pious?
A word for the JOURNAL. We do
not write for primary department.

However, this may be egoistic.
Besides, as the paragraph credited to
"rural correspondent Of the JOUR-
NAL" never appeared in this paper at
all, this entire screed is far fetched,
and we take our portion back,

A MEETING was to have been held
to-day in New York looking to lin
guistic reform and the organization
of a"Language Club" The invita-
tons were signed by President Bar
nard, of Columbus College, David
Dudley Field, DR.. Howard Crosby,
Professor Hitchcock and others. The
following portion Of the dispatch
speaks for itself:
The objects of the club are explained
to be to secure uniformity of linguistic
usage. Of the three pronunciatioDs

IT being pretty we'll settled that
st. Johns friends endeavored to fix IL
purchasabls ''fgure' on his "haad,"
We are surprised that nobody has
charged Beisa Aun Lockwood with
some heinous campaign wick-dness
"B. A. H." jsiort for l'alnoraD held
st. John as second choice for the
presidency, which she would never
have done had she not entertained
unimpeachabIe notions Of his angelic
nature. Hence, it was st. Johns
company that ruined nina crowd
forced upon him by the national
committee. His fate recalls the
parody of an old saw-"some men
inherit associations some are born in
society, and some have company
thrust on them" The last state of
the first and the first of the second
are not untavorable, but the last state
of the last is unimaginably appalling.
1t is SO in religion as in politics,
strange to say, and IN eminent as in
humble life. "Wlcked partners" are
the bans Of human existence. An
aristocracy based upoa Impoverished
merit and unpurchaseable intellect is
just as liable to spoliation as fame
founded solely on pretty moustache.
From all such endowments Belva is
free, and as SANDER, like death, loves
a shining mark, it overshot her and
pulverized st. John for the misdoings
of the bad men who were set to man
age his campaign. Truly, the Lord
''maketh the wrath of meR to praise
Him"-and help out the women.

SINCE the election of Mr.. Evarts
to the Senate some able democrats
are doubling the sxpediency of per-
uniting Messrs, Bsyard and Garland
to leave that body to enter the cabl-

"eleven-syllabled adjsctives," "36-

ADVANTAGES OF BITUMINoUs
CoAL.-C. II. Delamater 4 Co., one
of the largest engineering firms in
this city, and thoroughly understand
ing the merits of the several fuels,
say:
From a practical experience extend
ing over period of ten years, we have
no hesitation in saying that there is
saving i'll the use of Cumberland coal
for steam purposes, over anthracite, of
from twenty-five to thirty per cent.
Theoretically there is greater adj
vantage in good bituminous coal than
this.
We expect to see bituminous coal
sell alongside at this city during the
year at 1915. With such firms as
Messrs. G. II. Delamater & Co., who
thoroughly understand the merits of
bltuminous coal, anthracite coal, to
compete, would have to cell on the
basis slated above at S1.75 to $1.95.
The public will soon learn the
merits of bituminous coal, while at
the same time the stockholders are
learning the weakness Of the anthra-
cite companies.-Wall Street Nems.

The statement that whenever il
becomes suddenly cold mortality
among aged people increases appears
to be endowed with several flush
grains of truth. 1t seems also to
corroborate the opinion Of some ply
sicisns that "the secret of long life
after seventy years is to keep warm" "
just how to reach three .score and
ten, however, is not stated, but we
imagine for the benefit of our news-
papers who pant for centennial an
niversary that they should keep net
only warm, but, from a strictly tenn
perate standpoint, "extra dry"
COMMENTING on the high price Of
bread and the low price Of -four, a
Cleveland baker notes that
No one finds fault with cigars ne
one complains about his beer; but at
stated intervals hue and cry about
bread is raised.
10 this response some paper re-
torts:
1t doesn't seem to have occurred to
this Cleveland baker that we must
have our cigars and beer and that we
have become accustomed to take them
as we find them.
The JOURNAL disagrees with the
baker and the newspaper. People do
notice the difference between the
qualities, prices and sizes of beers and
cigars, and fashion their demands
accordingly. But the bread loaf may
grow smaller, never larger, that is,
''hardly ever" 1t is five cents, Or
"nary bread"
