THE prevalence of diphthera at Muncie,
Ind, is SO general and fatal that the health
authorities have been compelled to close the
public schools Baltimore imericdn.
Why close the public schools9 To
prevent contagion, of course. But in
all probability the more dangerous
practice Of following dead bodies
around from house to church and
grave, with youthful pall-bearers is
permitted.
Diphtheria is a Caesar who clamors
for 10 choicer meat than Il tender pail
bearer.

of its entry into the sixth year. The an

future, save that it points with just pride to
the past and intimates that the same vlgor
will mark its conduct. The JOURNAL, ever
ready to commend good words and work, will
be glad to note many such anniversary re-
turns to our brisk neighbor

OVER week ago drill was lost
two hundred feet below the surface
in the effort to tap Cumberland oil at
Sebastopol, and up to date ii had
not been recovered. This may be a
ba omen, or it may not for oil. But
the growing disposition to speak of
our coal as Georges Creek" indicates
very plainly that Cumberland is slowly
but surely losing its grip on valuable
part of the earth.

presses some notions of the JOURNALS
printed last week that we must re.
produce it:
The Massachusetts independents should
learn that American inspiration ends where
imitation of England begins.
Aud anent the silver question that
sentence is slasher.
It's about time that some of President
Cleveland's postofiice lightning struck Allega-
ny county, and struck it hard in the vicinity
of Frostburg there or thereabouts ts-Cumber-
land Times.
A recent presidential utterance leads
to the belief that our neighbor must
wait until the battery is changed to
have our postoftice take on the electro
typed political complexion which it so
much admires.
In addition to a quotation elsewhere
printed concerning the location of the
insane asylum, the Cumberland Ne''s
says:
A site for proposed reservoir, to supply
both the asylum and almshouse with water,
springs in the neighborhood and il is claimed
a full supply of good water could be easily
obtained.
This is the one and only genuine
advantage gained for the insane by
fixing their home on or near the aim s.
house property. They escape Potomac
river water, poisoned by Georges
Creek sewage, and, worse. our artesian
conglomerate. Belonging to class
of whom few die and fewer resign. it
is some comfort to reflect that among
the diseases which will not afflict them
we may safely enumerate diphtheria
and the gravel.
WITH the F'rostburg JOURNALS consent and
a favorable show OF sand we hope soon to be
able to say Cumberland oil il''-Cumherland
MdependeM
And if you do strike Cumberland oil" we
guarantee the Journal will not kick. But
when you speak of that imaginative arti-
Gle, called "Cumberand COAL" you touch the
JOURNAL as a paper in a tender spot. Our
fraternal advice is to not stir up the JOURNAL
on that point-in short. don't monkey with
the buzz saw, Homecoming Reriem.
Yes; the time is coming, editors,
when Cumberland will want to look
overhead for the current name of our
coal. 1t is going upward, or toward
the goal OF an expiring jig.
Meanwhile, should the fraternal Re
rie'o continue illustrating its remarks
upon the pesils of the times with buzz
saw metaphors the JOURNAL will
see that neither its "fraternal' nor
"imaginative" faculty shall suffer from
suspicion of chronic enlargement.

An Early Mail ASitation.-Some effort
is making toward obtaining an early mail
from Baltimore to Cumberland and this re-
gion. Some of the figures given, however
will not count much for this region in the
event of special being put on for our benefit.
Assuming that the Cumberland and Penn
sylvania railroad company have weighty
reasons for not desiring TO alter their schedule,
a train to reach Cumberland i'll time to con-
meet with our forenoon mail must leave Bal
timore not later than 4:2G a. M. and make
the same speed that No. does. To make
more sure of uniform connection, it should
leave about 4. Any arrangement other than
one to include this region need not count on
our aid nor our respect.
