JOURNAL to Mr.. Cunningham elected
that gentleman.
This is an error.
The same thing would have elected
Mr.. ScheermeSSer.
ONE of the democratic nominees
thinks himself guilty of an immense
error in "becoming candidate this
time"
"After tied myself to the calf"
said the mutilated boy, 1.-The critter
hadn't dragged me around the barn
yard more'n twice before found out
my mistake"
JOHN CHAMBERS writes to Baltimore
that he sis a Knight of Labor before he
is democrat"
The presumption is, therefore, that
he never was democrat, although
he affirms with anatomical emphasis
that he is one ''from head to foot"
What strange things people see when
their "heavy artillery" has been taken
without the formality of capture
The JOURNAL sincerely trusts that
the county commissioners-ele will lay
a heavy hand on the registration ring.
They are the auditors of all county
accounts, and as such they should save
money to the people by paying no
more for registration printing than it
is worth
The ring has so far successfully pro
ceeded upon the assumption that its
members, and not the commissioners,
are masters of the situation.
But the latter, holding the purse
strings, can easily persuade the com
bine that it is mistaken.
THE Homecoming Rerie,c complains
that Frostburg is every slow at count
ing" the votes.
The Recte" forgets that everything
here is done under the direction and
supervision of the Knights of Labor.
1t was their direction that the tally
sheets should be made in ink-a very
slow, laborious, painful process.
1t was their idea, too, that IA mob
should occupy the room and make it
bear garden, under the eye, too, of an
officer of the law, instead of the three
"selected representative" provided for
by law.
But for these dispositions of the No
bic Order purists and sports the vote
could have been counted in half the
time.
And don't yOu forget it

A NEW MAID OF ATHENS.

The wedding revels in Athens to-day COM
penSate the modern Greeks in some measure
for the disappointmentS of diplomacy. The
little maritime kingdom has been facetiOuSy
called the spoiled child of Europe; but it has
had little reason since its heroic war of indie
pendence for gratitude to the Powers. In the
campaign Of 1877, when all the Balkan States
took active measures for profiting by the Rus
sian invasion and secured in the end subStan-
tial territorial gains Greece was kept under
constant restraint by Great Britain, repeated
promises being made that its interests would
not be neglected when the diplomatists assem-
bled in a European council. It's frontiers were
extended after the Congress of Berlin, but only
after its armies had taken the field and the
Powers were compelled to lend diplomatic aid.
Even Then its ambitions were thwarted, for the
new territories awarded to it fell short Of its
expectations and deserts Repeatedly Greece
has put its trust in European protectors and
found itself forced in the end after heavy eX
pendtureS for ornaments, to yield to pressure
from the courts. The spoiled child" has been
most rigidly disciplined by English and Con-
tinental dplomatistS, and has never been al
lowed to have it's own free will during its sixty
wears Of national existence. Without the le-
stlaints of statecraft Greece might have been
in occupation Of ConstantinOple to-day, and the
most powerful State in Southeastern Europe.
If a prolonged period Of dsenchantment has
followed the earliest dreams Of liberty and
empire in Athens, the little State has steadily
improved its dynastc relations with powerful
courts and gradually gained importance as
promising member of the European State sys-
TEN. Prince Otto Of Bavaria during his long
reign of twenty-nine years was markedly un-
successful in impressng his fellow-sovereigns
with sense of the dignity of his throne. King
George impaired greater prestige to it by his
marriage with the daughter of Grand Duke
Constantine brother Of Alexander II, since
Russian interest in the fortunes Of the kingdom
naturally inspired increased respect for the
mimic Court Of Athens throughout Europe.
The marriage to-day Of the Crown Prince Con-
stantine 10 Princess Sophie, sister of the Ger
man Emperor, promises to be equally effective
in stimulating renewed interest in the aspira-
lions and ambitions of the most imaginative
people in Europe The Russian Queen and the
German Princess may become rivals tempo
ranly in court circles at Athens; but even with
the risk of comter-intrigueS, which have proved
so disastrous in Seryia the alliance tends 10

worth remembering, has William Benbrook so
long bottled up and kept within the cellars OF MS

memory which leaps from century to century

Mr.. Machiavelli, if, indeed, Mr.. Hill needs any

4 NATION BCJLDING IT'S FUTURE.

The railroad problem the question Of trusts,
and the question of burying the electric lights
are all phases Of healthy development. The
complaint is a sign Of social health and vigOr.
A delegate to the Pan-American Congress late
" remarked: "TO hear you growl about
everything and censure everybody, one would
suppose that there was no progress or prosper

swiftly building institutions for all time.
Here the corrective force is open and vocal.

This week will see the close of the series OF
baseball games between New-YOrk and Brook
lyn for the worlds championship. The hrst
.hree or four matches were rather unSau1ac-
tory in their results the sport being often
named by tiresome wrangling over the decisions
of the umpires and by the approach Of dark
ness befoIe the full number of innings could
be played Recent games, however, have shown
that both teams are still capable of doing work
as brilliant as that of the regular season, and
all causes Of dissatisfaction have been removed
by sensible changes on the part of the manage
ment. Only good weather will be needed now to
make the final contests in every way worthy
Of the reputation of the two clubs, each of which
has 50 decisively proven its superiority over
rivals in its own organization.
