the system, then the waste places will
be glad and pleasant homes with hap

echo from the stock market was print

Baltimore and Ohio railroad common stock
or account of the good, showing Of the con
dition of the road, and an anticipation of q
dividend within the next six months has
advanced 81 per share. Sales q: small blocks
were made Tuesday at 95 and gG, and the
market closed firm at 95l bid and 9s asked,
And yet il appears to be generally
understood that Mr.. German. repre-
scnting the interests of the State of
Maryland in the road, is opposed to
the policy which is placing the great
highway in dividcnd-paying situa-
ton again.
Wherefore
Need we answer? Does not every
body know that he is an owner of the
West Virginia Central railway and an
owner Of West Virginia coal lands,
both actively competing with our
Maryland road and Maryland coal
Hence, it does seem that Mr.. Cor
man occupies position in the Balti-
more and Ohio railway directory at
once illsgitimate and unenviable. He
holds a place to which he is morally
ineligible, to say nothing of the ordi-
nary dictates of good taste and pro-
priety. His is the unique situation of
a West Virginia spy i'll our camp, his
duty being to represent Il party whom
it is his interest to miSrepreSent. In
short, it is in his interest for the State
to sacrifice its share III the canal in
order that the West Virginia central
railway may extend its line as a
rival of the B. 4 0. 1t is i'll his in
terest thus to carry West Virginia
coal through our territory over our
highway to our markets. And, al
though he is a representative of Mary
lands interests in the b. d o. direc
tory, it is believed that he is now en-
gagged in fabricating Legislation hay
ing in view the detriment of those in
terests. 1t is believed that he is map
ping out this work for his legislative
hcnchmen. and that this winter Ill An
napolis will witness a rare contest be-
tween the resident enemies and friends
Of Maryland welfare.
There is no use talking about the
virtue of fealty to such man. There
is no such thing in the qualities or mor-
alities of politics. SO that it is II
pleasure to believe that the pro-
scription of democrats who will take
no part in Gorman's campaign Of in
fidelity to the State, the county and
this coal region is too vicious to last
much longer. 1t belongs to that spe
cies of venom which sooner or later
polsonS itself.
Meanwhile, the issue may come upon
us sooner than the spirit of suicide
can do its healthy work. Mr.. German
should be called down from his double
dealing station at once. The people,
especially of this region, should speak
in no uncertain voice, in no doubtful
tone, commanding the trustee to re-
turn to them the trust he cannot, if he
would, properly administer. And
this demand should grow III volume
and momentum until the opprobrium
of moral ineligibity and official i'm
propriety ceased to threaten Mr.. Cor
man with either censure for his want
of good taste, or beset him with a
colossal temptation to betray his great
trust.

READER, remember, if you can, the
complaint of the Cumberland Times a
few weeks ago against ''iudependent
papers," and then read this tribute by
that great thinker and master of
English words, Chauncey NJ. Depew:
The press had no real rank among the forces
Of civilization and society until the processes
of evolution and development had produced
the independent newspaper. The most mark
ed feature of the increase cf independent
thought and individual action in our gener-
alton is the success of journals which have
no party ties and ere welded to no definite
poIcv-to.day friendly ana Tomorrow hos
tile to the government-in this campaign
supporting the candidates Of one party and in
the next those of the other and in many cases
renouncing both, they represent the con-
stsntly growing forces Of intellectual discon-
tent, the ever recruiting ieSions uf dnuhters
and frce-thnkers, who, without forming a
third party, account for shifting maiorltics
and curb the arrogance and moderate the de
mands Of blind partisanship.
But the difference between news
papers and HOrgans' is shown III the
following:
There are newspapers and there are organs
called newspapers. The difference between
the two is as great as that between day and
night. The newspaper publishes the news
without regard to whom or what it concerns
and comments on persons and things with
ont any regard to the feelings which exist
between the editorial or business manage
ment and the persons or things that happen
to be the subjects of honest criticism. The
opinion newspaper has Of "A public official
or of the candidate for Il public position, is
not moulded by the patronage which comes
from the official or the office he seeks The
newspaper recognizes the right of every man
to think, politically and otherwise, as he sees
so long as he thinks temperately and acts
within the law and has no right to malign
his motives or abuse him for his actions.
This, too, although the editorial or business
management may have views directly oppos-
Ite. The newspaper always falls readily in
with healthy public opinion, and does not
try to shape its course III an opposite direc-
toH an V'lH'"'''p f""''' 'l'iloIl ~ dillds-
onised by the newspaper, and healthy one
made fit. For instance; a healthy public
opinion dccreCs that man has not the abil-
ity to represent the people in any capacity,
he is not democrat in any sense, and the
newspaper would be foolish, much as il
might love the man, to attempt to buck
against that healthy public opinion.
The paper from which the above
was taken, the Remove Ne,cs. concludes:
The organ, on the other hand, will do just
the opposite, and that is the difference be-
! tween the newspaper and the organ.

Notwithstanding who has been
attending the NJ. E. Church lately has
asked-"why the faces at the revival
are all strange and those at Ravens
crafts Opera House all familiar ?"
This paper should be saved until
next Thursday. 1t contains on the
third page story appropriate to that
day.
a Frosrburg author is about writing
IL book OF 200 ppges to be issued at
Homecoming. 1t will be called "The
Rear Guard OF Empire" The story
deals with the t'entleman's favorite
theme-belated pioneer life among the
Knights of Labor, or the hindsight
condition in which the Noble Order of
North America found the civilized
savages of the Georges Creek coal re-
giOn.
Somebody who knows a great deal
about railroads very shrewdly suspects
that general manager Odell's trip
through this region Wednesday was
an "observation' foreshadowing the
run each way daily of one of the b. Il
O.'s great flyers over the C. 4 P. rail
road. In that case the depot would
be located uptown, and Frostburg
would be worth generally $l.50 where

to list given, Charlie will regaIe visit

The Journal omitted to mention
the receipt lately Of % boxes of
oranges by o. j. Moat from his grove
/ in Florida. 1t can be stated upon the
testimony of dealers that these are the
best oranges that come to this market.
One gentleman Informs the JOURNAL
that out of three boxes he found only
one defective orange. Mr. Moat en-
poets another large consignment in a
short time, and those who want nice
fruit for the holidays should take il
up by advanced orders, for in the or
dinary way we get in oranges. as we dc
