The Baltimore HernM had "a
spasm of virtuons Indignation over
the allegation of black damp in our
mines and inspector Brownings re-
missness in the discharge of duty.
Whereupon the JOURNAL is pleased
to copy the following from the Cum
berland Times:
The mine owners do not fight against VEN
tilation on the contrary, wherever necessary,
the best systems of fam aud fire ventilation
are introduced and mining region of the
world can boast 81 great advantages natural
and artificial, than our own. Taking the
R,riew and the Workman for its light, il is
but natural that the Hcrdid should see
through a glass darkly." Both these papers
are knights of Labor organs, and it is their
business to create, keep up and foster labor
agitation. At least il has been so in the past.
1t is significant also that the Times
says the HerUh "knows no more
about the condition of the mines in
Allegany county than AN unborn
babe"-this after the HcroH gets
ats light" from the organs of So
called "labor."
But the worst cut of all that the
organs get is in the following para
graph from the Times:
Better things are in store for the knights,
we believe. They are wedding out their
ranks and erelong many of their lallacies will
be exchanged for sound common sense doc
trines. AT least We hope 50.
The only remaining question is
does the "weeding out process in
clude the organs, or only organic
"fallacies ?"
Since we come to measure fully the
Times figure, it must mean that the
Noble Order is pulling its organs,
"fallacies" and all, for weeds Of rank
growth are not uprooted by an effort
to ehgraft their offshoots on fruit
trees.

THIS evenings republican primar-
les will decide who shall control the
county convention next Tuesday
the Wellington Or McComas people.
The enthusiasm is so hot that, met
aphorically speaking, if you touch
a partisan of either side with wet
finger he will siz.
AT Wabash, Ind, one of the most flourish
ing Knights of Labor lodges has expelled
Arthur c. Everett because of his athestc
sentiments. He was formerly editor of the
Labor Adyocote.- Washington Star.
1t would appear that the Noble
Order, largely decimalizel by the
growing loss Of its christian element,
gives notice through Everett that the
iniidel must 90 also. An Order with
out christians or skeptics will be soon
and always without quorum.
The Frostburg correspondent Of
the Lonaconing Star is obtuse, or too
largely bloated with musical punctu-
alton. He SAYS:
If the proofs promised were of public inn
portance they should have been published; !;
if not, then there should have been no refer
ence made to them.
Sounds plausible, but the JOUR-
NAL was running the controversy
with the TimeS and knew exactly
what it was doing.
Among other things it endeavored
to avoid all reference to prirate or
pcrS0nol affairs, and it succeeded IN
spite of the efforts of the School
Board partisans to drag it from it's
course.
But for such conduct on the other
side mo reference would have been
made to the proofs" and the fastld
ious correspondent would not be un-
happy, nor plant with frail flowers
the sod of his overtilled intellect.

. WORD has come to the JOURNAL
from several quarters that the stand
which it assumed on the basis of
overtlowing illiteracy among the sub
ordinate teachers of the county has
been ratified and confirmed by the
report of the result of the late exam
inaton.
Said report looked that way to the
JOURNAL, but the statement was too
indefinite to bank on.
What everybody says, however,
must be correct.
AS stated aforetme, the JOURNAL
is mighty in battle and powerful for
good, even to the pulling down of
strongholds.
Now is good time to subscribe.
"WHERE did it come from :" asks
the Cumberland News in connection
with the accompanying paragraph:
Saturday Mrs. Schermesser, wife of n. P.
J. Schermesser, city councilman and manager
of the Workman, found in front of the door
step of their residence copper nitro-g ycer-
inc cartridge. Mr.. Schermesser has no idea
who placed it there, or with what purpose.
A more pertinent question is
where will the next one be found ?
And will it be discovered before it
goes off?
And if it goes off before it is found,
will it strike somebody as innocent

Mr.. WHITE, of Indiana, has intro
duced in Congress bill to fix and
regulate wages all over the United
States.
OF all the legislative proposals ever
heard of this is the orget-me-not.
However, should it become a law
it will relieve ID. A. rs OF the job of
keeping "the district price of mining
COAL at 80 cents per ton, and enable
that great body to turn it's exclus We
attention to newspaper work and
making.
IT is reported that the Orphans Court of
berland people that applications to fill the
free scholarship in the Baltimore Female
College, will be received until Aug, 81. The
people in this end of the county; although
interested, have not heard anything about it.
Homecoming Rerie~.
That is the way it looks around
here, too, and it is the JOURNALS
opinion that the district assembly
should see that such partiality
should be corrected. San injury
to one is the concern of ALL
OPINIONS of the result of the con-
test in this county between Messrs.
Wellington and McComas are about
as badly mixed as were the editorial
and local columns of the Homecoming
Rerier last week over the cause of
Daniel Watson's death.

4 Fine Entertd inn,ent.-
has been peculiarly y fortunate this sum
mer both in the number and character
of the diversions afforded the people.
The season was introduced by several
hops of exceptional enjoyment and
later it has Deen our pleasure to record
occasions of more sentimental and
aesthetic interest. Among the latter
the tableaux and vocal and instru-
mental selections presented Friday
evening of last week mainly by our
transient residents, so far crowns the
series with the climacterlc entertain
ment. Both in artistic design and ar
rangement the tableauX were never
rlvaled in this section, and the music,
vocal and instrumental, was all the
chastest devOtee of the most in
tellectual of all our recreations could
desire. The JOURNAL would like to
note more particularly the several
presentations and renditions, but lack
of space compels contentment with
the following programme

1t ought to be said, however, that
Mrs. Annie Beall, who had general
charge of the affair, won the thanks
of the audience for the opportunity of
enjoying SO fine treat also, that Mrs

the artistic taste displayed in arrang-
ing the tableaux and assisting the
participants.
A number of persons from Cumber
land, were present, among whom We're
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Macdonald, Miss
Clara Conley, Miss Grace Elder, Mrs.

lT will be IL long time before the
public school scheme becomes the
perfect system the people would have.
Even Congress blunders IN legislat-
ing upon the subject so much us to
draw from the Washington .Star the
following criticism
The District public teachers are still in
doubt whether equality i'll compensation of
the sexes is to be secured by an increase of
the pay of women or a decrease in the pay of
men, or by employing only male are only
female teachers. Congress should make
haste to remedy the confusion into which
by its blundering it has thrown school affairs,
and the only fair and satisfactory solution of
the difficulty is to provide i'll unequivOcal
terms for the increase of the salaries of the
lady teachers up to the male Standard and to
make all other parts Of the law conform to
this provision.
That is about the way to arrange
it-equal pay for equal work; that is,
if that is what the Star means.
But the JOURNAL has never seen
the female teacher whose work as a
rule was sup to the male standard"
Nor in any other profession or
industry.

VERY POIYGAMIST.

DETROIT, Sept. 27-About fifteen of the
thirty-three women who were married to
James w. Brown, the champion bigamist.
since 1882, conforted him in the recorders
court yesterday afternoon, The list of vic
tins included Helen Brownlee, Annie
Winters, of Chicago, who with Annie NJ.
Hazel, Mary Benjam and Nancy Robert
son, were the only ones called on to give
evidence against Brown. The Benjamin
woman was the prosecuting witness.
1t was established that Browns method
was to advertise for hOusekeeper and
select his victim from among the appll-
cants who pleased him most and marry
her as soon as possible. He would desert
her after few days. Five clergymen of
this city certified to marrying Brown to
as many different women, and the case
against him was so clear that the prosecu-
tor left it to the jury without argument.
Brown testified in his own behalf and
made sorry mess of it. He professed not
to remember any of his dupes, asserted
that he was only once married aud that
his wife was dead and that be was once
confined as a lunatic ct New Orleans.
Brown was pallid and looked like sick
man.
During the trial Nancy Robertson's in
dignation conld not be repressed, and she
denounced Brown as ''perhdlous wretch. d"
he jury agreed with her evidently, for
they took but four minutes TO find him
