Curious Request,

The JOURNAL furnishes the financia
statement in full at the request of the
Council, that body taking the curious
position that if the town papers dc
not see fit to give it the people are not
entitled to it.
Or, if the papers are not able to give
it, the people are not able topay for it,
Or, the papers are more able t.
stand the labor of spreading it broad
cast than the people are to pay for
that labor.
But the JOURNAL, which owes less t.
the current Council than does any other
printing establishment in town. com
plies with the request because it wants
the innocent people to see the account
and govern themselves accordingly.
For it seems to be understood that
if the people do not Indicate that they
want the Council to move toward the
recovery of the $2l9.12, the Council
will let that much Of the peoples

The Cumberland Courier has entered
its ninth year of IL ''life of consider
able ups and DOWNS" the cups" pre-
dominating. This means, as we be-
lieve, that with almost any other than
the practical Hambright at the helm,
the Courier would not now look so
clipper at roll-call every Saturday
morning. The JOURNAL hopes the
Curriers' career will be more of dress
parade than real fight for life and
glory.

Greatness Thrust On Him,

Some paper, the Baltimore Critic
we believe, pats Billy McKaig on the
shoulder and says che was raised right
among the miners" ETC., and "knows
all about their wants." etc.
But Billy would not admit that.
Fact is, Billy thinks he was raised
among the Billies, the big Billies-
Billy Weber, Billy Walsh, and so on.
And he is going to Congress with
Billy Wilson, Billy Springer, etc, ad

In 4 NutShcll.

In brief, the report of Msssrs. Lam
inert, Michael and Dewitt appears to
be the statement of an account be-
tween the town and its treasurers.
That is, the term, "over-charged,"
seems to mean that the town has paid
parts of certain drafts twice, the
trcasurers themselves profiting
through their own oversight from the
several transactions.
In a few figures the statement appears
to amount to this-the sum of actual
liabilities May |, 1890, was $2,566.66,
or $347. Is more than then reported.
OF this sum it is believed $2l9.12 is re-
coverable, leaving $l2S.03 as the ac-
tual net loss since May l, 1856, this
loss being due to the current system
of keeping the towns cash account.
The JOURNAL has not understood
whether the Council will proceed to
recover the $219. y or not.

Sweet Words.

From a Cumberland letter Nov. IA:
Last weeks JOURNAL was a corker. Its
ideas get clearer as it grows in age; likewise
the polished and incisive manner of express
ing them. Reminds me of n. Y. SIM.
This from Morgantown, w. Va:
Some of the late editorials in the great
paper were capital reading. Were | a writer
would have complmented you several times
for publication.
There is one more still farther away,
but we forbear. 1t is too compliments
airy.
But all three remind the JOURNAL
anew that it is treasured abroad far
more than at home-that it gives
Frostburg a prestige of which the
town is unaware or needless.

RhythmiCal Lesson in Editorial
Manners

If so, the Times is as much off as is the
Frostburg Ledger, which thinks all papers
that did not condemn the summoning of its
editor before the grand jury are ring news
papers, and subsidized at that-Lonaconng
star.
The JOURNAL holds that it is not
proper for on editorial gent to say a
brother is an ass-at least to that in
tent nor should the individual who
happens to be meant reply by heaving
rocks at him to any great extent.

We had a very pleasant trip,
leaving Brookings in the morning
and arriving at Huron at about
p. m. After a forty-fye minute
stop for dinner, we went on to
Cakes and from there to James
town, arriving in the latter city at
about IL p. m. There was but
very little snow between Huron
and jamestown and none whatever
between jamestown and Dickin-
son. jamestown is a fair city but
it has not improved in the past
four Hears. We stopped at the
Commercial house and got lodg-
ing, breakfast and bus to and
from the hotel for Is cents, max
ing it better than to remain at the
depot until train time, which is
$50 a. m.
All the towns we passed that
day were we'll represented with
