of our friend, Schcerfarbcr. SAYS of
the editor of the JOURNAL:
He opposed Cunningham's election To the
Legislature because he was Knight of Lat
Dor, and of course our friend Cunningham
was reelected, and with other assistance will
be on hand with the mine ventilation bill
again, and if it is not stolen before the Gov
ernor gets chance to sign it, it will become
law this time.
1t will, eh
Well, the critic ought to be up here
few days and listen to the strange
reports going around, from which it
appears that things are not what they
seem to look like. Mr. Cunningham,
from all accounts, will he on hand.
but large slice of public expectation,
privately circulated, is not so dead sure
about the same old mine ventilation
bill.
Though long delayed, the perfect
vindication of the Big 4 seems to be
at hand.
The whirligig of time is doing won
ders for everybody except the rich
young editor of the Critic, the captious
giascutis of Baltimore's Noble Order.
he only is monkeying with faith in
the failures of the past.
The annual report of President
Mayer, of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road company, is paper which affords
great satisfaction to the friends of the
road-in and out of the State. The
outcome of the first year of his admin
istration is a surplus of $519, ,3lS, an
increase of 1891, 1856 over that held at
the end of the frscal year in 1888.
The result Is the more gratifying be-
cause Mr.. Mayors policy is not in ac-
cord with the mossback element in his
board of directors.
1t is yet more satisfactory because
his policy is in contravention of the
sympathies of that portion of his
board who, authorized to take care of
Maryland interests in the road. are
personally and financially interested
in the failure Of their mission.
Every patriotic man in the State,
i'll this county especially, should re-
joice over Mr.. Mayors achievement
in rescuing the road from disaster and
placing it on plane of advancement
sloping upward to its old-time prestige
as the greatest of all the great trunk
lines.
THE Cumberland Workman would
like to sect
Every weekly paper in the city adopt
uniform price for advertising.
The JOURNAL would prefer that all
the county papers should adopt
common rate and stick to it,
There would be less illegitimate ad-
vertising and more space for sprightly
reading matter original and selected.
For, after all, it is the character of a
paper for the reltabliy of its news, its
honesty of purpose and its editOrial abil-
ity, rather than its circulation, that
make it valuable as an advertising
medium. In short, it is the associa-
ton of an advertisement with strong
readabl matter that makes it weighty
and forceful.
Then, publishers, it is duty we
owe ourselves to make it impossible
for an advertising traveller to quote
our rates against each other without
being caught in lie.
THE growth of our friend, John
years ago to Master Workman has
been phenomenal.
That is. if the office of NJ. W. is as
lofty as Rces D. Rees used to look like
it was,
Mr.. Chambers career since those
adverse times illustrates in striking
manner what phrenologists call ''tem-
pcramental velocity"
And it would seem, we are glad to
observe, that his grocerial swiftitude
had been walking hand in hand with
his constitutional CELEBRITY.
THE Cumberland Workman wants to
| See-
Owen England come to Cumberland and
| braS of what he can dO-poltiCally.
England does not stand by himself
| in that line. If the Workman "would
| like to see" all the fellows up here
who elected one end of that paper and
beat the other, it would be like the hen
with one chicken, sit wouldn't have
time or space to drink with anybody
else"
THE case against j. w. $. Cochrane,
attorney of Cumberland, in the Court
of Appeals, has been decided practi-
cally in that gentleman favor. 1t
goes back to the Circuit Court for re-
trial.
The same Judgment reverses 1t good
many outside opinions, including sew
eral metaphySically personal editorials
in the Cumberland Times.
