THE Cumberlacd Times celebrated

THE Cumberlacd Times celebrated
George Washington's birthday. OF
him as a "business man. it said
While it is fact that we have no (auto)
biography of Washington, we have an exam
pie in business life that it would be well for
the rising generation to study. His whole
life establishes the fact that more perfect
man Of business never lived. His education
was purely a practical one. 4 1t is
probably due in great measure to his early
formed habits of business that ne had such a
wonderful capacity for the business of war.
Let anyone read his will, and he
will rise from its perusal with the conviction
that no more thorough business man ever
lived There have been many documents of
a similar kind drawn up with wonderful care
and labor and at vast remuneration by gen.
tlemen learned in the law, but none where
incident is so carefully attended to- not in the
fear of any possibility of an attack but in
the ordinary sound business-like manner in
which he did everything
1t was in the brain of this consum-
mate business man that the project of
a waterway, lateral with and fed by
the Potomac river, was conceived.
For years the giant enterprise enjoyed
the best thought of his mind and the
warmest place near his heart. 1t was
his fayorite theme when statesmen
were his guests, and when abroad en-
joying the homage of his people it was
so much so that one of the monuments
built to immortalize his memory by
his native State was charter embalm-
ing his plans and putting i'll motion
his enterprise.
And yet we find his Cumberland
eulogist of this age training with a
crowd bent upon robbing the people
of the great work projected by him for
the public benefit, and turning the
munifcent proceeds into filthy pockets
already lined with booty gathered
from the ravages of years of "busi-
ness" spoliation and destruction.
If there is one thing that has not
been respected, or even remembered by
the railroad lease people and their ad-
herents it is the life, character and eX-
ample of George Washington.

THE appointment of receivers by
Judge Alvey is in line with his opinion.
He has selected three excellent gen
tlemen, Messrs. R. ID. johnson, of
Cumberland Robert Bridges, of Han
cock, and Joseph d. Baker, Of Fred
erick.
so far as we can see there is no ring
politics in the trio, modest pecul-
iarity which stands out in luminous
contrast with the cheeky presumption
of the so-called Cumberland and
Washington railroad company.
The receivers enjoy magnificent
opportunity to demonstrate TO the State
and the country that an honest and
respectable administration of the canal
will be blessing alike to the long
neglected owners and the people en-
shaved by the power which has misused
and wasted its earnings to their dis.
advantage.
We believe the receivers will honor
the trust imposed upon them.
If so, the results will assurTfly honor

THE passage of the act authorizing the
lease of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the
Washington and Cumberland railroad com.
pany will relieve the State of an incubus that
has drawn heavily upon her in the past
Baltimore Ne~s.
That statement is absolutely un-
true.
Speaking of the people as a estate
it is to be doubted whether the canal,

The State has been drawing fol
years constantly increasing revenues

A SURPRISE.

The Deadlock In Petroleum Broken by
snle-Lima Certificates.
The oil market produced a genuine surprise
yesterday. There was a sale of 25.000 barrels
by Archie Megrew. 1t brought S915, which
was the opening. highest. lowest and closing
quotations. The possibility of a sale was con-
sidered so remote that several operators went
to the circus and missed the excitement.
A meeting of members of the Exchange will
be held directly after the call this morning to
take action on the recommendation OF the Con-
ference Committee to list buckeye certificates
No opposition is known to exist. Itis Hobson's
choice. For Lima oil 3s1z b. o. 80, was bid. Re-
fined was down at London.
