May 25 JOSIAH FORD, Secretary,
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1889-05-25

SEVERAL months ago the Cumber
land Times roasted the JOURNAL for
taking in vain the names of certain
immaculate gentlemen, among them
Robert Shriver.
Last week the Times jumped into
hot water up to its nostrils for some
direct or indirect impeachment of the
fair fame of Mr.. Shriver, and, in turn,
got roasted.
The JOURNAL belongs to that very
small crowd of newspapers that do not
believe in class journalism. 1t does
not regard any mans character, as re-
vealed by his public acts, too sacred to
be shot at. Indeed, the higher one
stands in public estimation on account
of his financial or other ability, the
brighter he is as a target, and critical
journalism, like death, cloves shin
ing mark"
In the roundup, however, of the
private correspondence between the
parties at issue it appears that the
Times enjoyed the best of the fight,
which is newspaperlike.
But the Times must never, no never,
hereafter hold up to the JOURNAL any
mans popular standing as something
unassailable. In some countries the
kings morality makes him ostensibly
incapable of wrong, but here even the
sovereign's religion saves him only by
the skin of his teeth.

Is the Homecoming Stcr's bright lex
icon of youth there is no such word as
venerable"
Hence. the JOURNAL drops it.
Our friend of the star speaks of the
JOURNAL as the Opinion F.: that. for two
reasons. it does not wish to "engage in
controversy !" that the Cumberland
Times gets all 1T wants of free no
toricty" in the Journal; that the star
is thankful for its portion that the
JOURNAL ''ncvcr knows when it is
downed in an argument" and SO ON.
The .Star also objects to the term,
erich as an ironical allusion to its
poverty, and the star plays the baby
act generally, All this without Civ
ing the groundwork of the trouble.
The star had stated that Frank
Brown represented it at the Baltimore
editorial convention.
The JOURNAL reported, in effect, that
if Mr.. Brown acted in that capacity he
did not make it known.
He made a speech, long speech,
but nobody knew it was the Stars he
set up an elegant luncheon, but no.
body suspected it was the Stars lay
out, and he was the recipient of any
amount of flattery, but nobody dream
ed that behind it all the star was sly
ly appropriating boom for the next
governorship.
Our suggestion that Mr.. Brown "did
not twinkle'-a suggestion not design
ed to reflect at all upon the Stars age
or condition in life-is credited by the
Star to that ''attack of indigestion"
last week.
Perhaps so.
But how are we to account for the
following opinion of one of the best
Judges of newspapers in the county-a
gentleman once a journalist, and
good one, received the same day the
Star reached this office:
Mr.. j. b. ODER-Dear Sir. Cards received
this Il. IN. | am much pleased with them.
Thanks for accurate work and prompt de
livery. y | must congratulate YOU
upon the ability with which you conduct the
JOURNAL. Its comments upon county affairs
and the labor question are generally sound
and meet my hearty concurrence. The
leader last week was fine piece of criticism.
When | rose from my reading thought
"e"h"t that H'aa ~a"ts is more indigestion"

WHAT constitutes reasonable price for la
bor is question that has not and cannot he
answered 10y II display of ii cures.
Mgersoll gives the best answer to that queS-
ton we have ever read. His answer is this:
Such a price as will enable a man to live,
to have the comforts oflife; to lay by some
thing for his declining years, SO that he can
have his own hOmc-hiS own tireside-so
that he can preserve the feeling of man"
Ingcrsolls answer if put i'll force, would
abolish the slavery of unrcmitting, hopeless,
unremunerativc labor.-Lonaconng Reyiew.
The Reoie,o endorses Mr.. Ingersoll.
But Mr.. Ingersoll touches but one
side of the questionable side which
receives.
Suppose we ask-what is q reason
able price for a man to pay for
labor
Then suppose the answer
Such a price as will enable him to live, to
save enough for the comforts of life, to lay by
something for his declining years, so that he
can have hls own home, his own tireside-so
that he can preserve the feeling of a man.
1t never fails in the philosophy of
exchange that he who receives takes
from him who gives.
1t is equally inevitable that if this
exchange be all the time equal, neither
party will ever be better off than the
other, and both will be always where
they started
Under such IL system it is to be Sc
riously doubted whether either, being
an insuperable check upon the others
accumulations, will ever be able to
lay up those treasures and comforts,
home and tireside, including "the feel
ing of a man. which the day-dreamers
and waking trance mediums of this
age portray so illusively.
Before preaching such beatitudes to
an unregenerate world, Mr.. Ingersoll
and the Knights of Labor should find
Il wheel of fortune, both sides of which
revolve upward at the same time.
THE JOURNAL has learned with un-
feigned regret the reports connecting
Prof. h. II. Nanhorn, formerly of Lo-
naconing, with outrages at the Sol
diers' Orphan School, at Chester
Springs, Pa.
1t hopes he will be amply able to
prove them unfounded.

amiable professor once discovered an
error in the JOURNALS grammar, and
crying 'eue1a" fastened to school,

chucked the latter's ear full of the
enOrmity.
A bad memory for such things, how
ever, prevented the commissioner from

The Journal is right, or partly so.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale said re-
Gently that "the public schools do not
fit children for life; they prepare them
for examinations"
The consequence is-that precious
few of the people so taught are ever
qualified to teach.
1t can hardly be otherwise. Teach
ers, like poets, are born, not made.
Certainly they are for the most part
schooled in induction and disciplined
by training. Having learned to think
and obey, they can develop and COM
mand.
Until the schools can be manned by
people who are teachers by inspiration
and build, the people will be unwilling
to pay the taxes necessary to maintain
the schools.
And until then the public school
system will be a tluctuating failure.
