hard to leave her husband and six little

gcsrs that a little too much presiden-
tial knowlege Of imaginary lines is an
unfortunate if not IL dangerous thing.
The Piedmont HeruN believes
the JOURNAL sis paid to fight the
knights of Labor"
OF course it is paid. But not as
we'll as it should be. However, look
at the aggregate, for instance, of our
job bills this month. This, it may
be said, should be earned in the work
itself. True. But the Knights of
Labor, theoretically in favor of work,
are practically opposed to it. Hence,
no mining, no job work.
Above all, look at our growth
since 1886. Between 1882 and that
year the JOURNAL could have hardly
given away its patch of ground ami
cottage. Now, we could sell and at
price, the size Of which would rep
resent the other block of our salary
for "tighting the Knights of Labor"
Is it not worth while to eight the
Knights of Labor? Let us see:
In 1875 property that cost 81 800
fell to comparative worthlessness
within the ten years ensuing, that
decade embracing the reign of the
Master Workman. The JOURNAL
aided those worthless and got paid for
it in the destruction of It's own
values.
1t got paid for it in the natural
boycott by the companies, and the un-
natural boycott by the Knights of
Labor.
1t got pail for it in the latter in
stance partly because the companies
took the Order by the throat in 1881
and throttled it into electing the cor
poration preference to the Maryland
Senate.
There are some calumnies before
which even the cheek of innocence
turns pale, But there is nothing in
its life to which the JOURNALS men,
ory turns with an unpardoning con
science except 70 its course in 1882.
For tile sake of a false notion of con-
siStency it then made the fight of the
Master Work kman respectable. 1t
prolonged contest which brought
destruction of the regions trade and
values; which multiplied the black
list and brought deshtution, beggarv
and tears to women and children.
And this after the Knights of Labor
had given us notice by their vote that
they disdained our and.
And now IA West Virginia idiot, rep
resenting a lot of these ugly Mary
land "reminiscences of 1882, wants to
intimate that we are "paid for fight
ing" them! Certainly we are, and
being paid, we are able to liquidate by
weekly instalments a debt we owe to
them that will never be Cancelled.
Gentlemen of the coal Office, if this
is the sort Of music that fits YOUR
ears, haul IN the job work. "Neatness
and dispatch" are our watchwords,
and a central location our advantage.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Medicdt.-Brief mention was made
in these columns several weeks ago
that DR.. A. B. Price, of this place, had
been joined by his brother in the prac-
tice Of medicine, the latter also Il
physician of high repute. This state
ment, we are pleased to say, is con-
firmed by the Port Tobacco Charles
county, Times as follows:
DR.. Thomas c. Price has formed co-part-
nership for the practice of medicine at Frost
burg Allegany county, with his brother, Dr.
A. b. Price, who has for a number of years
been practicing physician in that county.
The first named Dr. Price, during 25 years of
active practice in this county, stood in the
front rank of the medical profession in this
section of the State. He was distinguished
throughout the county for his thorough
learning in his profession, and his skill and
judgment in the treatment of disease He
was often called in consultation with ply
siclans in different sections of the county,
outside of his own field of practice, in intricate
and obscure cases, and was generally recog-
nized by the local medical profession as
sound judge and learned counsellor. He was
formerly member of the board of medical
examiners Of Charles county. Along with
high reputation as successful physician, DR..
Price combined the qualities of courteous
and urbane gentleman, and he carries to his
new field of labor the best wishes of host of
friends in this section of the State, all of whom
will be glad to hear of his enioying that suc
cess which his professional talent and ripe
judgment entitle him,
In addition to the above we learn
that the doctor was School Commits
sioner of Charles county twelve years,
once by appointment of the governor,
again by appointment of the court,
and last by election by the people.
He has taken up his residence here
and has already become active in the
practice of his profession.

The Usual Error aud its M0TaL.-
The Homecoming Regiew tells the fol-
lowing:
a short time ago a number of men were
almost suffocated in one of the Consolidation
Cos mines. Among the number was the late
James Jacobs. He never recovered. The
effects of the almost fatal suffocation, was
the cause of his death. And this took place
in one of the best ventilated mines in the
world' and in a region where mining legis
lation is not needed. Strange, isn't it p
Lonaconing RepieW.
The facts are briefly;
A man working in another part OF
the mine left door open which car
ried the smoke the wrong way. The
"almost fatal suffocation" which fol-
lowed did not hurt Mr.. Jacobs AS
sociates, and perhaps would not hav,
injured him had he been in good
health. He was, however, a man re-
markably loyal to duty. After becom-
ing overheated he got into the water,
staid too long at his post, took pneu-
monia and died. The work in which he
was engaged looked to saving lower
mine from drowning" an event which
would have thrown huudreG of miners
out Of employment, as well as entail
ed great loss TO the company.
The sad occurrence was not pre-
ventable by law, certainly not by the
one the RecieU wants-a bill which did
not make it a penal offence for miner
to leave Il door open, nor prohibit
lengthy seasons of rain. nor contain a
provision to save an engineer from the
consequences of OVERRIDING his duty to
his fellowmen and employers.
An authentic statement corrobo- |
rating above report just received-too
late for this issue, but yet good enough /
for next. Hence there is more to fol |
low-enough to prove that we still have
"the best ventilated mines in the /
world"

lHE JoURN l. is not an organ it is an IN
depe"de"t paper of the deepest dye. 1t says
what it pleases, and is generally pleased with
what it says.-Frostburg JOURNAL
We can vouch for the truth of the first
clause of the last half of the JOURNALS $
thirdly" but the adverb in the tail end of
the assertion is well placed. 1t leaves room
for few things it has torn its auburn locks
for uttering during the memorable year of
disgrace, 18S2.-Cumberland Times.
The JorRNAL is glad the Times
called it "the memorable year of dis
grace, 1882" The sentence sounds
like one from Richard Grant White.
A building dedicated to shooting
targets is called gallery, but it is
not gallery. One in which people
meet is called hall, but it is not a
hall.
We call spade spade, but there
are many things on earth that have
never heard their right names, and
among them until Monday last was
the year 1882.
THE main objection to the act Of
incorporation in Homecoming, and
which defeated it, was, it is stated,
that the property qualifications were
too high.
In the JOURNALS opinion they
were not high enough, just as they
are too low in Frostburg.
1t will be sad day for this coun-
try when the taxpaving element is
subjected to the control of the non
taxpaying Office holding community.
But that is exactly in effect the
condition of affairs the Homecoming
majority voted for on Tuesday.
Strange on its face, it is stranger
at bottom when we recall the fact
that this people, recently opposed to
paupe- immigration, now favor Il
pauper government, or none.
