Our esteemed contemporary. the
Cumberland 'opjer, published an cX-
ccrdingly interesting chapter last week
exhibiting the startling fact that the
republican shcriffS of this county had
been allowed since 1872 an average of
about $l.SlS.12 per dHHum more than
the democratic ohrriffS That is 10
say, %Sj.O3S.JS have been paid five re-
publican and %lS.G5j.9O to four demo
cratic shrrtfN.
The Co"yj,r is good at figures.
Whenever il wants to show up any
thing statistical it cannot be beaten.
Tine fact is. the ro"rjr turns to figures
~, 'thc hart pauteth after the water
brooks"
Which makes the JOURNAL yearn
for a CoWrjer statement showing exact
ly how much more registration print
ing costs the county under the demo
cratic registration officers syndicate
and Times CoUrjer trust than under the
old system when every registrar was
his own man and got the peoples work
done at home.
Th" EorjO does not know a whit
more about the Shcriff's pay than about
tn" compensation il and the TnDcS are
getting for their monopoly of all the
registration work. including the only
work that out-"f-city papers ever had
any chance to get. Hence, we expect
to see the new system compared with
the old.
In order to prepare the minds of
JOURNAL readers for the Co,Tjcr'S
showing we want to state that under
the antc-combine system the Iona
coming Rcrjftr and .S0y and this paper
did quite all the registration printing
for tn" creek districts the only c0UHtY
printing, remember, that we had any
show to get All the rest being in
Cumberland was gohhl"d up by Cum
bcrland printers.
But Il bright idea struck deep into
into two Cumberland heads "whv al
low those fellows up there cHyHihg ?'
So the poor registrars were got toGcth-
cr under a prrtcmsc that ''OrgaHjgntioH"
was necessary to their existence. At
the magic word the whole kettle of
fish tumbled hcadlong into the skillet
spread for them. But for their lives
what organization" meant to them
beyond Il dollar, dollar and half. or
two dollars out of pocket for going to
Cumberland to be bamboozled by pro
posals that had no relevancy whatever
to the real purpose.
The JOURNAL has often heard of
Georges Creek guIlibility when under
tn" spell of our ruchantrr,s at the
Narrows, but the instance narrated
leaps the climax.
And then the work turned ont by
the combination is Il posi- tive disgrace
to the county. Hardly u type has been
set or an impression made that ha. JUS
titled the circulation or posting Of IA
single bill. W" could not impose such
work on the poorest Judge of printing
III the county.
However. We are too fast. The
reorganization" does pay the registrars
after all. The charges were raised to
the highest notch, and then some, and
all are uniform.
The scheme. in short, is a right
good thing for the officers and two
papers, but awful bad for the three
out-of-town papers and the taxpayers
all over the county.

TOWN HAPPENINGS

The Mines improvements are still
progressing at the Barton and Georges
Creek Valley company'S nine. The

The dump-houSc, built on the site of
the old Midlothian dump, is model of

with al his apparent lack of interest
at the vital moment in hi, party af-
fairs, he is a type of that large cla,, of
voters who, if they had been at the
right place at the right time IN" Hon.
James a. Cunningham might never
have gone to the Legislature.
For if the JOURNAL had not known
something of Mr. Cunniugham'S value
a a Legislator for all the people "Phi-
los" confession for him would have
answered.
w" hav" II stated that he
sacrificed his all in 3, vain attempt to con-
scientiouNly carry out the instructions Of his
constituents.
Now, if Mr.. Miller be too modest for
legislator, was not Mr.. Cunningham
too bold in mistaling the dictum of a
faction for ''thr instructions of his
constituents - Was he not >training
things when he avowrdly represented
nobody but the miners Of GEORGES
Creek ! AS a class legislator was he
not a factlonist run mad
1t is very certain that had Mr.. Gun
nlngham's constructions" been in issue
at the polls he would not have gone to
the Legislature. Even the blindness of
voting for party" would not have
saved him.
"Philo" and his friends, it is hoped.
will look out for somebody who will
goto Annapolis and represent all inter
ests, for the county does not belong to
any class. The people want no mar
tyrs nor martyrd"m without the kind
of blood which become, the seed of the
