ATfer Untdred Lands. Hiram Z.
Tasker has beer in the mining region
during the past week engaged in To-
eating the untaXed lands along the
Allegany and Garrett county line. He
has discovered the fact that portions
of the lands belonging to the Union.
Consolidation, American, SwantOn
and other coal companies lie IN Gar
rett county, but have never been as
seSsed. For which reason he thinks it
important that the disputed line should
be settled in order that the areas on
either side may be accurately ascer-
tanned.
The Allegany and Garrett county
commissioners will meet in Oakland
July llth for the purpose of establish
ing the line which will enable them to
largely increase their basis of taxation
in both counties. There are upwards
of 100000 acres of land in Garrett
county belonging to non-residents who
have never claimed nor paid taxes on
them. Mr.. T. turned in upwards of
$20O,0O worth OF these lands at the
last assessment,

The Baltimore critic takes up the
JOURNAL on an error in subtraction.
AT the time of writing 90 cents as
the net balance per ton left to compa-
MES and miners we felt there was
something wrong, because it was viv-
idly remembered that Sl.06 is the cost
per ton of coal at the mine, as compu-
ted by government authorities having
charge of that subject.
We stand corrected, and while aban-
doning all miscalculations thereby in
v0lved, we do not desert the main fact
that under the policy of our mine
owners protection does protect the la
boring people of this region. Every
body here knows it, however much the
critic may reason to the contrary.
We have but little time and less
space to advise the critic to curb its
personal bent" Barring its ''labor''
vagaries it is a paper too cOmcly to
indulge nomenclature rejecting upon
the quantity and quality of its good
breeding.
But if it will print severely low allu-
sions it should protect its head" even
from its friends. If its topknot is held
at any value whatever by its bastard
Labor masters it should go lightly on
its brain weight, move softly on its inn
maturity and endeavor to live solely
on its shape.

on It's shape.
THE developments made by the un-
taxed land investigations of Hiram Z.
Tasker, of Garrett county, furnish a
strong argument to both counties in
favor of the exact determination and
establishment of the line between the
counties. SO far both have lost hcav-
lily by the astuteness of landowners
who, when the Allegany assessor was
in sight, lived in Garrett, and when
the Garret county assessor found them
they were residents of Allegany. Real
estate is generally stationary, but that
in the wedge between the first and
last lines run, is portable, and as such
does not stay long enough in either
county to be taxed.
A line run and fixed according to
law will stop great deal of rascality
and put an end to much lying.
The county convention of centennial
delegates fixed September as the
month for the observance.
This is an immense error.
As it is held in Cumberland for the
benefit of the fall and winter trade Of
that city, instead of commemorating
the hundredth year of the county's
existence, it should.have been located
in October.
But the JOURNAL warns the traders
that big stock for sale to Georges
Creek people at that time will be an
occasion for grief and not of joy.
The executive committee should not
be rash about incurring expenses on
account of hall rent.
A Cumberland printing Office will
hold the crowd.

He uses the right words III the right
places; they are uttered forcibly and

Scription of $3.50 to the Maryland flood

His name is Henry Loyeridge.

THE Journal started out this week
to give its readers the best paper it
ever issued.
But a small crowd of growlers. with
unlimited capacity for groundlesS sus-
picion, compelled the absorption of
our valuable space by full publica-
ton of the Johnstown relief fund.
Hence, we are disappointed-and so
are our honest readers.
1t will be long time before this
paper as an individual again subjects
itself to the inuendo of those who, be
ing dishonest themselves, think every
body else is. Even ''sweet charity's
sake" will not beguile us. The small
gifts of these people are robbed of all
virtue by the circulation of their dis
trust.
With one grudging hand they give !;
with the other they smite integrity
with deadly blows.
For our part we would not have
yielded to them. 1t was mainly to vim
dicate the collectors that we incurred
so much needless trouble and loss.
We had very few people to deal with !;
they had many.

Some of these people are protesting
christians, too!

the hypocrite be postponed

AT 1T AGAIN.

Says the Democrat; st is true, as
suggested by contemporary, that the prin-
cipIe of Judge ANDERsoN's decision exclud-
ing Mormon aliens from the rights of citi-
zenship is far-reaching in It's application.
That is one of the best reasons for indors-
ing it. The government surely has author
ity to refuse such rights to any foreigner
who advocates anarchism or gives ale
glance to any organization whose doctrines
and purposes are in conflict with our con
stitution and laws"
1t is oftener the case than otherwise that
the st. Louis luminary doesn't compre-
bend the subject It discusses. The idea
that a merely partisan judicial ruling
which excludes from citizenship
men who are moral, upright, hon
est, sober aud Industrious, and admits
those who are immoral, drunken, lazy. dis
honest and disreputable, should be en-
dorsed and upheld because it is far reach
ing in its application We should think
that the further it reached, the more dis
astrous and dangerous it would be.
OF course the government has the right
to refuse admission to any foreigner who
advocates Anarch;sm, but there are none

AN IMPORTANT DECLARATION.

In another part of THE HERALD to-day
appears a strong and stirring epistle from
the first presidency of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints with reference
to the impending and also to Immediately
past proceedings of a legal and political
character which have been and are aimed
against it. The statement or official de-
claration as it is called, is couched in keel
lent language and states the purpose in
hand in clear and comprehensive terms,
sufficiently voluminous to be full, and con-
else enough to not be verbose.
There is no question in the mind of any
impartial and reasoning person who has
given the subject even slight consideration,
that the present attitude of the self-styled
Liberal party of Utah is one of more than
menace and danger to the great bulk of the
populace, and that, in striking at the very
foundation of republican institutions, it
is actually endangering the principles
upon which the national and social fabric
rest. The late proceedings before Judge An
DKRsoN were evidence of this disagreeable
fact. Old and in many instances exploded
fabrication were resurrected and paraded
before the willing ears and eyes of new
magistrate to whom the recitals and dis
plays were equivalent to prolonged night
mare. The judges we already had, who
were with one other exception, more or less
familiar with the stale and musty tales of
blood and horror, were not brought into
the proceeding; the courts decision being
deemed conclusive, it was deemed advisable
to have the hearings before someone who,
in the nature of things, from one cause or
another, would most likely decide in accord
ance with the expressed will Of the rule or
ruin gang; and when such ruling was made,
it was easy to have it and the author of it
endorsed in various influential quarters
throughout the country, thus giving the
programme an endorsement which it could
not have under other circumstances.
This is only sample of the manner in
which the Mormon campaign is being

Postmaster General WANAMAKER re-
Gently stated to his Sunday school class

This causes paper published in his vlcln-
ity to remark that ne modestly retralned
presenting himself as an example or Illus
tration of his theory, and that there is no
reason why he should. What more memo
rable instance could there be of talent and
energy making room for itself than IS al
forded by the history of this man who, with
nothing more to commend him to pubic
favor than the ownership of clothing
store, a restaurant and balance on his side
at the bankers and has obtained seat in the
Presidents cabinet! To say as he does
that luck plays no part is to go back on the
bridge that brought him safely over. BY
reason of being in luck, he was able to add
luck to luck; that is, by purchasing his
way into Presidential favor, as he was
abundantly able to do, he has proceeded at
one bound from wealthy scrubbery to
official snobbery. 1t cost $4,000 but he
had it and gave freely of what he had
This is scriptural at least. ,ar
1t is perhaps useless just now to find any
fault or make any sort of criticism of JOHN
WANAMAKER. He is the postmaster general
and therefore an important official at the
headquarters of the government He is the
one with whom of all others the people
have much to do, especially business
people, for we can no more get along with
out regular mails than regular meals now
a-days, and much depends upon the kind OF
man the head of the department is. In SC
far as he seeks to better the service and
to make it and all things pertaining to il
more beneficial and more convenient to
those vino rely upon it, so far will this
paper give him full credit, and additional
credit when, in addition to his intentions,
he accomplishes something in the direction
spoken of. But when he goes to his Sun
day school and tells the children therein
congregated that all depends upon patient
push,n manhood, honor and ability, and
that luck counts for nothing, he goes so
exactly into the teeth of his own expert
ence and example as to subject himself to
the charge of hypocrisy in addition to the
other offenses.
WANAMAKER is a great man in one way
he is living illustration of the contempt
in which Providence holds wealth, and
the fact that the best men do no not gener-
ally have il.

RETROSPECTIVE.

A few days ago we wero all rejoicing
over the new fast transcontinental mail
train, which shortened the time between
New York and San Francis o several hours.
1t was great achievement and people have
not yet ceased to praise those who are re-
sponsible for it. But great as it was there
is already demand for more, and we I'M
derstand there is disposition on the part
of the powers that be to satisfy the new
demand. 1t is announced that in little
while the running time between the At
lautic and the Pacific, now only but five
days, will be further shortened by some
hours Where this thing will stop nobody
can say, the Impotence of the people all

achievements.
