The present trend of affairs seems TO
indicate thai y new era is dawning
upon old Allegany county. The air
in Cumberland is fraught with ideas
of genuine progress, so much SO in
deed that the old pessimists, the nat
ural born oroak are silepoed, or are
whispering among themselves that 1t
may be possible after all that onr
county has really and truly some ad-
vantages to offer enterprising people
to locate here aud establish manufac,
tories.
Thoughts suggested by hearing of
projected industries in and around
Cumberland have led the writer to
ask-has Frostburg no advantages =
no Inducements to offer the seeker for
location to start industrial concerns !!
Let MS see: We have the best of
climates, and enough of coal to satisfy

THE Baltimore critic does not adj
mire the JOURNALS tact at ''word-
compounding," forgetting that the
critic itself began the amusement by
"playing" on the name of the JOURNAL
as an individual and not as a paper.
This reminds the JOURNAL Of a re
mark in private letter received the
other day chiding us for not writing
last week Schaperone5, instead Of ''chap-
eroned," in consonancc with the orthog-
raphy, if not the pronunciation of
Schonmesser and Scheerfarber.
But in justice to both Messrs.
Scheermarber and Schonfesser and
the correspondent we must acknowl-
edge that we did not think of it. Be
sides, it had gone through our con-
sideration Of the subject that we had
sufficiently mixed these Children of
Israel to mystlfy the public concern
ing their identity as humble poems of
South America or noble Knights of
the weeping willow tree, Lights of
Asia or torches Of liberty, David and
Jonathan or Damon aud Pythias,
poem and psalm or comedy and
tragedy.
The critic associates with its implied
protest against 'word-compounding''
an impeachment Of the business
shrewdness Of Mr.. Mayer and his co.
operators in this coal region who sus-
tain the JOURNAL. The critic char
acterizes their support as "waste
money"
Now, so far as the JOURNAL is con-
cerned ii takes the inSinuation as a
compliment-a fraction of infallible
testimony going 70 show that the
JOURNAL is worth something.
But If Mr.. Mayer on any other of the
coal men thought enough Of the Critic
to take any notice of it at Eli there
would not be enough of Schonfarber's
red hair left to fringe IL lamp-mat.

NIT of the Chicago stock market, who

millions of dollars by a progressive
corn corner.
This time it WAS not the mills of

the country that hungered for some
thing that deserved grinding into ex-
ceediug fneness. They got it from
the corn that Hutch sold hut did not
have.
THE Boonville (Mo.) Adcetjser re-
ports the following:

Tilerv the political think it will be a
strong team.
The Adrertjser, democratic paper,
adds:
1t is admitted by all that it is the best board
in the State. Perfect harmony prevails and
all are enthusiastic workers and are PROUD of
their positions, since they understand what
a noble work the school is performing.
All of which shows the steady drift
of the public school system to polite
al control.
1t is the handling and dlzpensation
of the revenue involved the parties

And neither party is better than the
other when it comes to spending the
peoples money. Both are disposed
to put it where it will do the most
good-politically, not educationally.
MR. MCCOMAs has secured the appointment
of doorkeeder Adams, of Hagerstown. Now
let him hustle himself in behalf of the coun-
ty to which he owes his election and secure
the federal building for Cumberand.-Cum
berland Times.
I'm behalf of the county, Well
said. Had it been III behalf of the
city which elected him, the claim
would have been wholly IN appropos.
But the poor old county's achieve.
ments, apparently good tor nothing
else, are dragoOned into service every
time Cumberland wants an outsider to
contribute something to Ccmbnrland's
growth and prestige,
SO far as the county is concerned,
therefore, Mr.. McComas need not
hustle himself immoderately. A city
that would hardly put nickel of its
own in the slot IN order to draw out a
government building does not deserve
it.
And even after the Wineow street
precedent the county will be scared
every time it hears of Il prospective
acquisition to the boom i'll Cumber-
land. A government building would
most assuredly necessltate the rrhabil-
itation of some dilapidated thorough
fare at the county's expense, and hav-
ing done it for WincoW, the same will
be held in memorial for all such future
occasions. and fer the establishment
