ACase ofMistaken Origin.

The Ledger contends that it gets its
opinions from the public-that what
the people want it wants.
If it can produce any mooted sub
iect whatever upon which the people
are unit, or anything that all the
people want, we would like to see it.
The people of Frostburg are unit
upon nothing, and six per- cent, of them
did not want plenty of pure, soft
water.
There is then no public opinion for
the Ledger to reflect, even in the way Of
news, and no popular want that every
body feels.
The opinion of a graveyard Junta Is
not public opinion. and the demand of
those who want the Ledqer to "dabble

The young thing is very giddy.
But, then, it is young. 1t is not old
enough to know that the least value
of an advertising medium consists in
its circulation the most in its read

In other words, the more circulation

cheapness, the less account it is as an
advertising sheet. For the graduation
in such cases is inevitably downward
until it reaches the handbill and

nothing, are almost worthless to the
man who has them printed. Indeed,

MINING JOURNAL:
FROSTBURG, MD, JUNE 7, 1890.
What are the Old Works Worth?

What are the Old Works Worth?
That is the question now agitating
considerable portion of the Frostburg
mind.
It is thought the money whcrewith
to purchase or construct will soon be
available. Then, how much Of it, if
any, is to go to the Frostburg water
company for its old plant
The JOURNAL has heard some eX-
travagant sums named.
But it will SAY
|, They are not worth what they
cost, if they ever actually cost any
thing to anybody except its customers.
=, They are not worth this year what
they were last. In 1889 they produced
dividend of 6 per cent. upon a capital
of nearly $50, 900; now there is pros
pect of serious, if not fatal competi
ton, and that nominal capital dwin-
dies to comparative insignifcance.
But let us look little at the history
of the company-at its record as a
lordly non-producer of water. How
often it has failed to supply water
when the town needed it most, and
how the people had importuned and
threatened to take the matter of sup
ply into their own hands. The losses
by the great fire of 1875 and several
lesser fires. all within watered terri
tory. are Immediately traceable to the
want of sufficient water, yet the com
pany did but little, if anything, to
prevent repetition of like disasters.
In fact, all the improvements have
been trit1ing, and these grudgingly
conceded. The result of the election
six years ago was twofold disaster
in that it did not only set the town
back for an indefinite period, but it
occasioned an improvement GU which
destroyed the freestone character of
our supply. And so on.
We submit, therefore, that it is too
late now for the company to come
talking about what their works are
worth-telling what the income is as
an argument for a tremendous price,
when aforetime said income was al
ways too small to warrant real i'm
provementS.
1t makes no difference whose pocket
is apparently harmed by this depre
cation of the Frostburg water com
pany's plant value.
The Water Board owes Il solemn
duty
|, To the people at whose ultimate
risk the money is raised, and
>, The bondholders are expecting to
get their interest and principal, not
from the property of the town, but
from the direct income of the water
plant itself.
Do the people want an old, long
used, small plant for what Il new,
clean and large system will cost
And do the bondholders want us to
take their money to put into a run
down affair?
No, gentlemen, if the people voted
for anything in this matter it was for
their own advantage; if they saw
speculation in the scheme, they did
not, after looking over all the past
vote it into the pockets of the Frost
burg water company
The people, therefore, expect the
Water Board to give the Frostburg
water company exactly what their
plant is intrinsically worth-no more,
no less.
To give them little more would be
extremely liberal, as is ever thus with
those who return good for evil.
