The JOURNAL, owing to current
events and consequential damages does
not expect to be able this year to
record brilliant baseball season for
the Frostburg association or Frost
burg nine. 1t is not likely any pro-
fessionals will be employed, although
a nine distinctively local will likely
furnish some amusement for clubs
strolling this way.
Meanwhile, Cumberland has gone
ahead and organized a strong team,
mostly of expert players, and the city
will doubtless take a prominent place
as a baseball town.
Those numerous readers of this
great paper, therefore, who last year
enjoyed the entertainment which the
EXPLOITS of our boys enabled us to
furnish, regret with us that the effort
to get so cents a ton will cost US
repetition of the fun. Not this sum-
lner at least will we be able to pounce
down on Cumberland like gang of
coyotes on lost lamb, nor compel the
city club to hire a corps to run after
the ball every time Frostburg knocked
it outside of the limits laid down IN
the Acts of Incorporation. No; we
will have to see that such strikes are
declared off, and telegraph the COM
mittee to allow Frostburg to keep the
$37 and odd cents which Cumberland
forfeited by concluding q game before
it was terminated.

MOTHER IS WAITING FOR ME.

In memory of Mrs. MARY HANsEL, wife of
Joseph Hansel, died May 1st, 1886, at her
residence in Hampshire county, w. Va, aged
80 years, S months and days.
Beyond the river she's waiting for me-
Mother has gone to the farther side;
The CLEANS of her snowy wings see,
But her voice is lost in the dashing tide
Oh can say my mother is gone
One can never forget
Her dark hair waved in the gentle gale,
Darling mother! l see her yet.
l crossed on her bosom her poor slender
hands;
She fearlessly entered the phantom bark;
We felt it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We saw not the angels who met her there
The door of heaven we could not see;
But l know she was met by the angels of
peace,
And now she is waiting for me.
We know she is safe on the other side,
Free from worldly cares,
Where pain and sorrow never come,
And tears all wiped from her eyes.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who pass with the boatman rale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch glimpse of their snowy sail.
And 10! they have passed from chr yearning
hearts
They have crossed the stream and gone for
aye
They may not sunder the vale apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day.
We only know that their barks no more
Will glide with us o er lfes stormy sea,
But somewhere, know, on that unseen
shore
NY mother stands watching and waiting
for me. FRIENDS.

The Stolen Bill.-Gov. Lloyd has writtel

Inc stolen BlIl.-GOY. LLOYD mas written
letter to Hugh Thompson, president of the
Miners Committee, concerning the mining
and ventilation bill, in which he says:
You have doubtless been deceived and mis-
led by the misrepresentation of parties who
did not know or ought to have known better,
as | can account for your impeachment of
my official integrity upon no other theory.
After the statements given in the press of the
status of the bills passed by the last Legis-
lature and unsigned by me, do not feel call
ed upon to reply further than to say that my
signature has never been attached to the
sem-monthly pay bill, or to any other bill,
and afterwards erased or withdrawn, and
that the ventilation or, mine inspection bill
was never in my custody, nor was it ever pre-
sented to me by the Secretary of the Senate,
nor was it seen by me till the 9Th Of May.
Its disappearance is mystery that should
like to see satisfactorily explained. Had it
been stolen from the Executive Department,
no effort of mine would have been spared to
ferret out the guilty party and bring him to
punishment.
tits thought the bill may yet be signed.

lately that to a man emigrating fl ON

nature it never fails to consider what
effect similar movements would have
on the tender sensibilities of gentle
man exiling himself from Frostburg,
and in this case it is prepared to say
that whoever of our doubly esteemed
fellowc citizens goes elsewhere to pay
taxes leaves behind him as good bread
as any town can bake. But us to but

THE Easton Ledger calls the miners
indignation resolutions "the Allegany
whoop."
The trouble grew out of the govern
or's remark to the Annapolis cores
pondent of the Baltimore Sun that ''the
mining bill had been stolen" If our
memory be not at fault this statement
was repeated with emphasis during the
same interview. Thenceforward it be-
came notable as ''the stolen bill"
The governors unqualified utterance
furnished a pretext for some proceed
ings akin to salvationist methods of
getting at popular feeling, for every
man who holds up his right hand does
not go to heaven.
Otherwise, the certainty of theft
would have been too insecurely estab-
lished for an assault upon the integrity
of the executive.
Hence, both the occasion and the
performance are to be alike regretted.
