Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1889-10-26


JOURNAL and expressed hearty appro-
bation of of last weeks JOURNAL lead
or and asked for more such talk.
Two of them candidly confessed they
never before saw the matter in that
light.
Which shows that there are people
digging coal who are smart enough
to take hint without being hit with
II club.
If there is likely to be new deal in
school commissioners this winter the
air is not filled with reports to that
effect.
There could hardly be change of
examiners anyway, as all the political
eligibles are out Of the way, and none
are being imported-no, not one.
Prof. Weimer is fixed for life-so
far as human providence can so sit
uate him.
THE fight at the Flostburg demo
cratic primaries to make the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company pay their
taxes, not so fierce since Borden Shaft
has been cut off, has been transferred
to Baltimore city, and it looks like it
wont win there. Better had kept it in
the hands of the Shaft democracy, who
never fail to bring the B. and O. to the
captains Office every time they get IL
whack at it.
OUR Frostburg correspondent writes that
"as" the centennial was such a great success
and ''as'' Frostburg was left out during its
celebration, a well known citizen proposes
that that place have a little "blow-out' of its
own i'll short time, to which the whole
county will be invited, simplv-not asked to
aid it financially. In other words, Frostburg
will run a rival centennial to the one recent
ly celebrated in this ity.-Cumberland Times.
Not exactly. Yours was miscar-
riage, and we propose no rivalry with
anything that comes before its time.
Bank exceed SH 900 and the number of de
positors is 263. A good record for four
months 1t is a solid institution and has
come to stay.-Lonaconing Rs"ie".
We have an institution in Frostburg
in which the deposits amount to over
500 200, and nineteen-twentieths of the
depositors are miners.
And here, as in Homecoming, some
of them want to send Cunningham
Scheermesser and Mullin to the Legis-
lature to reduce their ability to make
deposits.
IT required about eight thousand ems OF
type for Mr.. Oder to tell Mr.. Chambers and
the Reoie~ readers that his bitter hatred OF
the knights of Labor is due to the fact that
they did not elect him State Senator in 1881.
-Lonaconing Reoie~.
Even the Rfcteto cant be honest.
Over three-fo,lrths of the letter were
taken up i'll reply to points in Mr..
Chambers screed less than the other
fourth was dedicated to facts showing
that the JOURNAL would be less than
dog to lick the dirty hands that have
smittcn it.
AT Arlmorc, Mo-, 700 miners have
resumed work at 30 cents per ton after
striking for 60,
That is, all have resumed except the
20 who inaugurated and led the strike.
What the 20 will do now is puzzle
to everybody except the JOURNAL.
Eight Of them will start groceries,
five will lecture on labor, two will be
master workmen, and one IL walking
delegate.
The remaining four will come to
Maryland and run for the House of
Delegates.
TEACHERS of Frostburg and vicinity
are about engaging in the work Of
teaching each other how to teach
children,
This is il good idea, and the scheme
should embody also IL few lessons con
rerning what to teach. Indeed, this
department of school work precedcs
in importance the matter of methods.
and we SO commend it TO the earnest
consideration of all teachers who de-
sire that their work may prove itself.
The teacher who succeeds in grad
uating pupils who know how to spell,
how to write and how to use the
English language correctly, is the one
worthy to wear crown.
Look at this scheme;
The next Legislature is booked to
send Gov. jackson to the U. 5. Senate.
He will resign his present Office
during the session and the Legislature
will elect l.. Victor Baughman COVER
nor.
The latter will then select his own
successor in the Comptrollcr's Office.
And they do say also that through
the influence of Mr.. German, who
stands very high with this administra-
tion, the principal federal offices are
still permitted to remain in the hand,
of the ring democracy to help out ring
plans,
Worse than all, it is reported that
Mr.. Wellington neither expects nol
