THE Bank Commissioners Of the State
of California in their recent annual
report, which contains an exhaustive
statement of the condition Of every
bank in the State, gives among other
items of information the fact that
The silver standard dollar seems every day
to increase in popularity in our State. The
country banks find the unabated demand for
it hard to meet. Most of them receive from
one to three thousand dollars week from
the sub-treasury in San Francisco, tne ex-
pense of the transfer being paid by the gen.
eral government, This rapidly goes into
circulation and disappears no one knows
where as it never returns to the bank. 1t
seems 20 remain among the people, as q
necessary medium or uade. i = There
never wasa proposition so unanimously M
popular ,oM the people of California as that
proposing to stop the coinage of the silver
dollar.
How sounds this statement, made
with official weight and gravity, and
coming from people among whom for
thirty years gold mas constituted the
chief money agency to a greater de-
gree than it has done during the same
period in any other part Of the com
mercial world9
But this is not all. The commission
ers say further
The fight so bitterly waged by eastern mon
ey dealers against silver has had the effect in
our State of keeping our large city banks in a
constant state of alarm lest they might be
caught with a deprecated currency in their
vaults. The consequence is that, though dis
approving Of this anti-silyer crusade, they are
yet forced, as 1t were, to take part in it in a
quiet way by avoiding silver as much as pos
sible. 1t seems plain that if the anti-silver
war in the east was decidedly discouraged By
or government it would soon cease and that
there would be but little further trouble in the
continued coinage OF silver.
The italics are our own because they
show, as we have always contended,
that the feopte have no part nor lot in
the crusade against continued silver
coinage.
Moreover, the curious fact is stated
by implication that the government is
concerned in the war upon silver. We
say curious fact, because it is strange
that the government would take sides
in & contest where it is SAID to be
poweriess.
But if this deduction be unfair, will
the Cumberland Times inform us on
the other hand how much more force
the government can exert TO destroy a
medium of exchange than to maintain

THE Cumberland Times commits
itself to the following absurd state
ment:
The Frostburg JOURNAL says of the early
mail agitation:
Any arrangement other than one to in
clude this region need not count on our aid
hor our respect
If the JOURNAL bestowed half the energy
upon an effort to get an early mail for its
people that it eXerts to suspect other people
who do try to do something, it would stand a
much better chance of securing this adj
vantage than at present
Two business men of Frostburg last
week called our attention to the pro-
posal for securing an early mail. In
doing SO it was pointed out that no
schedule publication had fixed an
earlier arrival in Cumberland than 10
o'clock-45 minutes too late for our
forenoon train. Our reference to the
matter was fashioned after their re-
marks, which we had good reason to
accept as indicating business senti-
ment. There was no 'effort," more
over no design "to suspect" anybody.
We wanted it understood that we
favored the movement only on con-
dition that the region should profit by
it as we'll as Cumberland. Hence, our
esteemed contemporary is derailed
when it charges the JOURNAL with
trying "to suspect other people who
10 try to do something" From GER
tain standpoints we may be mean, but
we challenge the production of any
case where we have tainted with sus-
nicion either an ANGEL or q missionary.

That High Wind.-Among the local
damages by the high wind of Thursday night
of last week we should have named in our
last issue that of a partial unroofing of James
Clark & Cos distillery, near Cumberland,
and similar mishap to the hotel of James T.
Brady, in Homecoming. At Borden Shaft an
oak tree-an old misunderstanding near
the Shaft, fell partly on the weigh Office,
damaging the building considerably. Next
morning weighmaster Benson found that a
good-sized limb had penetrated the roof,

The Old Reliable Peter
 SChuttler w yOn.

I N calling attention to the merits of
 l this superb wagon we do not propose to echo the commonplace claims so characteristic of "cheap" work. A few facts peculiar to the Schuttler wagon alone, will sufficient ly speak for themselves.
 The manufacturers make their own hubs, spokes, felloes, nuts, bolts, riv- cts, and all other parts from the raw materials, and hence are enabled to begin their unparalleled system of selection from the very start, the work thereupon being followed through its successive stages by the most rigid series of inspections known in the business.
 The wood material is always kept four to five years ahead of all require mentS.
 The hubs are made from the butt cuts of the finest white oak in the country, the butts being quartered and each quarter making a hub, the "heart" of the tree being rejected in all cases. They are then roughly turned, and after four years of natural seasoning under cover, they are ready for the final turning and mortising which prepares them for the wheel. All the minor processes, on which mary makers often place a rather re- diculous emphasis-such as driving the spokes in hot glue, the boiling oil bath, etc., etc.-have been employed for many years, and are simply ordin- ary necessities.
 The Schuttler Wagon has been built expressly for the trying climate of the West. and the rough usage of the mountains, for over forty years, and in consequecce of the special ex- perience thus achieve d, as well as the unrivaled care bestowed uponsits work manship and finish it stands supreme and without rival among wagons. It gives better value in return for the money paid out than any other known. The user gets his moneys worth, be- sides the saving in time, temper, trou- ble, and repair bills, and the dealer has equal reason to be pleased with wagon that gives him no annoyance alter 1t leaves his store.
