The Comfy in September.

Never did Allegany county look more
beautiful at this season of the year,
than it does now. The copious rains
have kept the grass as green as in
springtime, and the clover fields are
superb. Corn cutting has begun. The
stalks are generally short, but well
cared and the crop is fully up to the
average. Seeding will begin this
week. The fields are in admirable
condition for the reception of the
grain. Persons who remember the
rough, careless farming of a few years
ago cannot fail to be impressed with
the change. The fields are plowed,
narrowed and cross-harrowed until the
clods are thoroughly pulverized, and
then, to make the soil more compact
and in better condition for the germi-
nation of the grain, "slab dragging"
or rolling completes the preparation.

Overhaul the Books.


The councilman to whom the JOUR-
NAL referred last week as alleging that
the rate of Is cents was fixed for the
interest tax because "some people will
not pay" states that he was misquo-
ted. He did say that it was so fixed
because some people do not pay
promptly; that it was a measure of
precaution to the end that there would
be certainly no default in either next
January or July interest.
Our friend also claims that his re-
mark to the effect that 'the people of
Frostburg never would know the
amount of their transient debt" while
literally correct, was not designed to
be taken so seriously as the JOURNAL
treated it.
In making these corrections it must
be understood that the first statement
was made to third party, the other
to the JOURNAL. The great paper put
the two together, and allowing nothing
for what councilman means, drew the
moral
1, That tax partially imposed is a
tax nobody should pay.
2, That the exact amount of the
floating indebtedness should be ascer-
tanned, no matter what time and labor
are necessary to accomplish it.
And the JOURNAL has heard enough
to justify it in announcing that the
people think the same way.

Little Papers VS.. Big Papers.

Those rural papers who have been
amusing themselves with the fancy
that the Baltimore Sun is an unsafe
guide for the people to follow received
a conclusive answer last Monday in a
very able leader on the petition of the
bondholders of 1874.
This timely application to the Court
for proper deal with vital question
has verified in an almost unexpected
manner the wisdom of the Suns ad-
monitions to the Legislature last win
ter against haste in adopting the UNI
scrupulous measure of the canal
wreckers.
The Suns article does not, of course,
intimate that there is such thing in
the world as little rural paper, but all
the same the brash little scribes get an
object lesson which ought to be taken as
very sound but dignifed switching.

COUNTY NEWS.

A Long Step In Advance ofFrostburg
IAN Ordinance to Prevent Cattle
Running at Large" is now IN force in
Homecoming. We copy it in full as a
sample of municipal legislation which
our Ordinance Committee and town
Council will do we'll to adopt:
SECTION 1. BE 10 enacted and ordained by
the Mayor and Councilmen ofthe torn Of To-
naconing, That it shall not be lawful for any
owner of any COW, bull or steer, to permit
such animal to run at large within the town
limits between the hours of o'clock p. m.
and a. nj. during the months of April, May,
June, July, August, September and October,
and between the hours of6 o'clock p. m,
and a. m, during the remaining months of
the year and any COW, bull or steer so found
running at large without being in the care
or charge of some responsible person or
persons, shall be taken up by the Baliff and
be impounded in such place as the Mayor
may appoint until all fines and charges are
paid.
If any COW, bull or steer shall be permitted
to remain so impounded for longer period
than forty-eight hours without being claimed
and all charges, fines and costs that may have
accrued thereon paid, then the Mayor shall
order such animal or animals to be advertised
as for sale, for five days, at the expiration of
which time such animal shall be sold at
| public auction to the highest bidder for cash.
the proceeds, after all expenses and fees shall
be paid, to he turned into the town treasury,
whereof due report shall be made by the
Mayor and Councilmen at their next meeting.
SECTION 2. And be ii further enacted and or
dained That whenever any COW, bull or steer
shall be impounded, as hereinbefore provi-
ded, the owner or owners of such animal
shall not be permitted to reclaim or recover
taken up, and impounding and caring for
such animals shall have been paid in addition
to fee of fifty cents for each animal so i'm
pounded.
SECTION 3. And be it further enacted and or
dained, That this ordinance shall take effect
from the date of its passage.
Passed Sept. 18th, 1890.
Instead of learning lessons of wisdom
from our long experience, it appears
Frostburg will have to go to young,
unskilled body to ascertain that in
corporation means redemption of town
limits from the commons.
But there is chance to teach Lon
aconing something. That is, our
Council can go one better by adopting
their ordinance amended so as to make
bovine vagrancy unlawful Of all hours
of the day as well as night.

An Economic Suggestion.

If no satisfactory report concerning
the towns floating debt is presented
at the next meeting of the Mayor and
Council, that body should forthwith
provide for its ascertainment by a
committee of men who will do the
work carefully, correctly, and who will
allow no prudential reasons 10 pre-
vent them from describing fully and
publicly all drafts that have curious
features about them, giving names,
dates, amounts, how much was grant
ed by Council, how much paid, and
how often paid.
There is doubtless little chance
here for the financial archRologist to
discover some bric-a-brac and also aid
the town in recovering some funds
that otherwise may be lost.
1t may thereby turn out eventually
that the town does not owe as much as
the clerks have been reporting.

journalistic.

The first issue of the Cumberland
Neos under the Republican Publishing
Company Monday morning was a
bristler.
With no disparagement whatever of
the former regime, the metamorphosis
is most decided.
There is no installing its politics,
and we suspect that its pugnacious
neighbor, the Times, is in for Roland
in exchange for every Oliver it SHES
that way.
The Ne.os is able; so is the Times,
and, next to fray in which itself
bears part, the JOURNAL enjoys one
between spunky neighbors.
Hence, now that the last indis-
pensable man appears to be in place,
we will say, as did Gen. Lee with
grim Impotence on a notable occasion
-"Let the battle begin !"
Lnter-The battle has begun, and the
eye of the Arizona Kicker is growing
green.

The Case Stated.

Without presuming to intimate any
opinion upon any of the legal questions
involved, and which Judge Alvey has
reserved for consideration, it must be
confessed that as against the State
treating the question as between two
lienors-the bondholders of 18Th have
strong equity. The States original
contribution to the canal was Il loan
of S., 000,0 900 in 1881. secured by first
mortgage upon all the property of the
canal, tolls and revenues. Suisse
quently the State subscribed three or
four millions more to the cOmpany's
capital stock, and this was the aggre-
gate OF the States investment In 1911,
when the canal was completed from
Georgetown to Dam No. 6, about fifty
miles this side of Cumberland, its
proposed terminus. Here the com
pany's money and credit both gave
out and the work stopped, and the
canal renamed unfinished until after
1915. The State refused to contribute
any further aid, but if anybody else
would furnish the money to complete
the work the State was willing to
waive its own priority and give a
preferred lien upon tolls and revenues
to whoever would advance the money
This was given by the act of lS44
authorizing the issue of 81, 200, 900 of
bonds for this purpose. The bonds
were subscribed, and the canal was
finished with the money of the bond
holders of 18Th, advanced upon the
faith of this pledge. By the act of
1878 the State gave a prior lien to its
own upon the body of the canal to the
holders of the 100000 of repair bond $
then authorized to be issued. 1t is
for the enforcement of that lein tn at
the canal is now liable to be sold, thus
eXtinguishiug the sole security pos
sessed by the bondholders of 1911 for
the principal and interest of their
bonds, now aggregatlng, according
the statement of their counsel, about
81 900 900.
The hardship of the case of these
bondholders is apparent. Whether
they have an equity emitting them to
the relief which they ask for is for the
court to determine. They might plead
as against the State another equity, of
which it would be more difficult for
the court to take cognizance. The
canal Has utcu pldSlltbllI ultti llit
control and management of the State
through its board of public works. 1t
has not been managed, according to
common belief, fol many years in
the interest of its stockholders or its
creditors or as IL business corporation,
but primarily AS political machine.
If political mismanagement has con-
tributed to the ruin of the canal. the
waste of its revenues and the decay of
its business, the State of Maryland is
morally responsible for the injury
thereby inflicted upon private indi-
viduals and corporations who have in
vested their money in the bonds of the
canal upon the faith of the States in
vitation to do so and upon the security
afforded by the States legislation.
This is a consideration which, while it
cannot enter into judicial determi-
nation of the case, must yet affect the
public judgement in regard to the
States attitude in the litigation

MINING JOURNAL.
FRosTBURG, MD, SEPTEMBER 81, 1890.
Let En- Chuckle.

1t is said that the esteemed gentle
men who wanted the Water Board to
pay $4,000 for the Frostburg water
company's plant are "chuckling"
over the imposition of the unnecessary
15-cent tax.
If the report be true, it is within the
range of certainty that they are
bloviating over an unfortunate result
of their own erring patriotism.
For it was their countenance, their
encouragement, their public attorney
ship that gave the Frostburg water
company the backbone to stand out
for its insane estimate of the value of
its plant and delirious demands for
sums variously large the Water Board
honestly believed the people should
not pay.
But for this unaccountable set
against the popular judgment, it is
our firm and undying conviction that
the company's plant would be in the
hands of the town to-day.
In which event no tax would threat
en- us, nor inordinate hurry menace
us with imperfect work.
So that, gentlemen, it will be part
of our mission, as it will be our duty
to place and keep the responsibility
for the needless tax, if exacted, just
precisely where it belongs-on the
shoulders of the Frostburg partisans
of the Frostburg water company.
