IN the course OF his or her strict

JOURNAL upon native teachers "A

mark:

JOURNAL has made an indecent haste
Good for "A Native Teacher ~
But ''aH indecent haste" to say
nothing Of the JOURNAL unqualified
ly represented by the pronoun, che
is not up to the standard outside of
Allegany,
Better information prevails even in
Garrett county.
We are glad, therefore, he or she Is
"a Native Teacher" His or her
letter confirms all that we lave in
sisted upon-that the quality of our
home grown and home, woven goods
is below par--that much of it should
be exported, the rest retired from
service. 1t indicates corresponding
ly our need Of imports.
The latter, carefully invited and
selected, the balance of trade will

of the Knights of Labor will soon publish a
book on the origin of the organization. The
book will contain information for those who

If Mr.. Powderly could manage to
get in Il thrilling chapter ON the ele-
vation and depression of the \. Q. of
n. A. on Georges Creek it would be
an opportune warning to the gener-
alton now on the rise There would
be 10 popular impulse among the
youth to 90 out west and supply the
government with dead Indians, nor
furnish the Cumberland Times with
IL stock Of deceased issues, but it
would inspire them with Il determi
nation to avoid the moral wrcckagc
and financial crushagc which over
took their sircs during the middle
age between 1873 aud 1888.
a FKOSTBURG gentleman, who has
lately built an addition to his cNpe-
ricncc, informed the JOURNAL that
the cry Of reform as "a popular dr.
SMc1Wtum is Il humbug. lie has
found that the people who do the
yelling take precedence IN the pro-
ccsson which marches up and de-
mauds subsidies. HIS idea now
is-it is useless for reformers to elect
reiormcrs unless the party Of the first
part exempIiry reform by letting the
relormers- elect do their legal duty.
In other words, it is the duty Of
every citizen to be his own reformer

DURING the campaign this year
the JOURNAL will dish up local pol

dear to IL mans heart us the scenes
of his childhood, which fond recol-

who are SO busy that they can't give
the Cumberland dailies their undi-
vided attention should cleaye to the
JOURNAL with IL cleft which is re-
ported to be closer than brothers.
SOME of the school authorities ap-
pear to be burdened in mind about
the gnificance Of the word, "limbo."

The latter Is il victim of the freez-

IL celebrity, however, among school
authorities because he once discover

"THE average WATCH" it is said,

and upward of 2,40O distinct opera,
tions IN its manufacture. This
does not include the Cumberland
Times which, like the 'Waterbury,"
comprises only the stem by which it
is wound up by the School Board.
The Cumberland Times did the
JOURNAL up IN immense shape last
Tuesday, which leads to the observa,
ton that the Times has great head
for controversy, though not too great.
What it wants is little longer head
