Stands by Its Own Household,

THE census returns place Lonacon-
ing second in the county. This fact
cannot be rubbed out
The newspaper, and not an organ,
printed at Frostburg, had a spasm last
week and gasped out the following:
Any person can easily see which is the
town that has been incorporated for many
years. We have national bank doing Il
good business We have gas works and an
electric light station, with another projected.
We are constructing water works at a cost of
$4,000 and propose to have the best water of
any town in the country. We have fine
churches and goodly people. Having
these advantages, which cannot be denied, we
consider it more creditabe if these things are
the achievements of 1000 people than of
5000.
Summing up it says it
Would rather say we have 900 progressive
people than 5000 CLAIMS.
SO that's the line of battle is it?
Well, look to your fences-graye-
yard fences especially.
From the above an Eastern shore
man would think Homecoming had no.
thing at all.
Maybe we didn't have a bank long
before Frostburg had one; maybe our
bank won't show up with any other.
Maybe we haven't a new depot and Il
new school house second to none in
the county. Maybe we haven't two
railroads running into Homecoming.
Maybe we havn't saw mill or two,
and lots of other things.
We admit we have neither gas nor
electric light companies, nor have we
a $4,000 water works, but on the
other hand we haven't q newly hatch
ed bonded debt of $4,000 with older
ones on legs.
This kind of argument won't do
Name all or none.
Then we are told that the Lonacon-
ing people are clans and the Frost
burgers are all progressive people, or
at least 1000 of them.
There are always a few progressive
people in every community. and we
suppose Frostburg has its share. No
more
Can Frostburg produce anything
that cannot be equaled 10y Lonacon-
ing! If it can, it is a good time to
commence now. For good, sound,
common sense and intelligence, we
are not ashamed of our people any
where Possibly stburg has more
of the elite than Homecoming. but for
reasoning from cold, hard facts, you
can bet on Concy holding her own
every time.
We do not wish to be understood as
saying anything against the people of
FrCstburg. but we cannot see our peo-
pie compared to CLAIMS by one who
thought enough of the CLANS to dwell

Mysterious Real Estate Transfers.

FRosrBURG, Mp, Aug. 5, 1890.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
| have just noticed youl editorial of
a week or so back in reference to the
"old grayey ard on the hill"
The writer begs to state that about
the year 1889 Mr.. Meshach Frost gave
lot of ground for the erection there
on of a Methodist church, or as it was
called in those days, a "Methodist
meeting house." The Methodist par
sonage and large portion of the
church occupies that lot of ground TO
day.
At the same time and in the same
connection, Mr.. Isaiah Frost donated
a lotsot ground to be used as a burying
ground, commonly known and called
1.-THE Methodist graveyard which was
in reality owned and controlled by
that church.
How the Methodist church lost its
authority and control over the grave
yard and retained its ownership of the
church lot, and how the corporation of
Frostburg obtalnel the ownership of
the lot of ground donated by Mr.. Isaiah
Frost for Il graveyard and did not get
the lot donated by Mr. Meshach Frost
for the erection of a church, is a mys-
terry the writer is unable to solye.
1t may be well to state in this con
nection that the Messrs. Frost donated
also IL half acre of ground for educa-
tional purposes. This donation en-
braces the ground where the "old Odd
Fellows hall'' now stands, portion of
the lot fenced in by Mr.. Salem Hum
berson, and also the spring, aud the
ground occupied by the old watch
house.
That portion of the lot occupied by
the watch house is reported AS having
been sold by the Town Council. When
and how the corporation became the
owner of any portion Of that half acre
is another mystery the writer is unable
to solve. AN OLD CITIZEN.

day he is the leading merchant of

anything in his adve! tisements that
he wasn't able to back up over the

The article copied from the Iona
coming Star is bright and breezy.
1t is a plausible defense of the error
into which Homecoming has been led
by the public spirit of its own enumer-
ators and the old-time ways of some of
our own.
But the Star should not take any
thing seriously that gets into print
here outside of the JOURNAL.
Nobody at home does.
The Rambler" is just as good at
reproducing public sentiment as ex-
pounding Scripture.
Whereof a preacher told the JOUR
NAL two weeks ago that ''of all the
ramblers he ever saw ramble this ram
bier beat any rambler rambling that
he ever saw ramble."
This OK Was Not Gored.
The Cumberland Times said one day
this week:
Mr.. J. Whalley, for some time past con-
nected with the Frostburg bank, has severed
his connection with that institution and re-
turned to this city to resume his residence
1t is no reflection upon Mr.. Whalley
to remark that his connection with
the Frostburg bank like the Times
notion of the journalistic dispute be-
tween Frostburg and Homecoming as
to population, is or was very remote.
Mr.. Whalley was connected with
our electric light enterprise, not our
bank.
And by the same logic, the Times
could see nothing in Frostburg's real
and Lonaconing's nominal claims to
the larger population but something
for Cumberland to laugh at-Cumber-
land, that had just gotten out of fit
of epileptic discomfort with the census
through the discovery of mistake.
Had the mistake survived, like ours,
Cumberland would be numbering, not
giggling.

Negative Municipal Economy.

A prominent citizen asks the JOUR
NAL to pitch into the cows, or rather
into the people who permit the COWS
to run at large.
He says the bells disturb people at
night.
He is right. A belled COW is a
double ointed nuisance that ought to
be abated by -barreled ordi-
nance that will shut both in a stable,
or double-barreled shotgun that will
lay her low in her tracks.
But for the "Rambler,' otherwise
known as the belled COW, we would
have had no old graveyard question to
make us weary.
So our economy goes.
We spend money to save an old
graveyard from depredations when we
could preserve public comfort by re-
moving a cause which afflicts the liv-
ing and desecrates the dead.
We spend all our time around the
spigot and leave the bung-hole to take
care of itself.
Then we return thanks to the Coun-
ell for its able neglect of the bung-
hole.

That isthe Question,

The population of Homecoming proper and
of districts Nos 10 and 15-4, 595 and 5, 1856 re-
spectiyely-as given in this paper last week
were taken from letter from Supervisor
Perkins to a prominent citizen of this place
and accepted by us as correct.
Compared with an erroneous statement
published, the Frostburg JOURNAL is of the
opinion that we cannot locate all our people.
That is where the JOURNAL does us an in
justice.-Lonaconing Reuie,c
When house divides against itself
as to the number of inmates it contains
it would seem that on the face of the
returns the word of one side was as
good as the word of the other.
The ''injustice," if any, must have
been done before the matter reached
the JOURNAL.
For the latter, taking the most con-
sentative and still the most probably
correct statement as conclusive, gave
Homecoming the benefit of doubt
which, at this time, it appears to so
much need.
However, the matter of ''injustice"
aside, what is Homecoming proper -

What the Town is Grateful For.


The JOURNAL has held with no little
pertinacity that the old graveyard is
private, not public property.
"An Old Citizen" throws consider
able light on the subject in letter
elsewhere printed, after reading which
the JOURNAL is confirmed in its view.
Otherwise. the Methodist church
grounds are just as much town prop.
erty as the graveyard. The titles are
chemically the same.
The Mayor and Council, therefore,
have as much right for any reason or
pretext to take charge of and enclose
the church grounds as to assume a
protectorate over the old graveyard.
They have just as much right, in fact,
to sell the church grounds and grave
yard as any part of that other lot "do-
mated for educational purposes"
But to mention any right they have
to do anything with the Methodist
property is to expose the absurdity of
the claim that any of the properties
named are public" especially that
which has served its private, not pub
lie purpose-that which belongs now
only to the heirs of the dead who are
buried there-heirs who have been
lucky enough to have the town Shout
der their own dear, loving and filial
duty of preserving their heritage from
the spoliation of the town COW.

A just Judge.

Judge Andrew Ellison, of the twenty
seventh Missouri judicial circuit, decides that
the teacher has the right to infiict corporal
punishment so long as the punishment is
not excessive. The teacher is not guilty of
assault, as he stands in the relation of parent
to pupil.
That is the JOURNALS position ex-
actly.
Anything in the way of preserving
discipline in school less than that is a
mockery-a scheme of degradation, of
which the teacher and pupil are
mutual victims.

An Explanation that Does not Explain.

An Explanation that Does not Explain.
Adveiting to the point made by the
JOURNAL two weeks ago that the
Frostburg postmaster gets $500 per
annum more salary than the Lonacon-
ing postmaster, the Reciec replies as
follows:
The salary of the postmasters of the two
towns have nothing to do with the quality
or quantity of the population. The JOURNAL
should not lose sight of the fact that all the
mail for Vale Summit and Eckhart in this
county, and Grantsvile, Accident, New Ger
MANY and half dozen other towns of Gar
rett county, is sent out from the Frostburg
postoffice. hence postmaster Walker is en-
titled to greater salary than postmaster
Dixon for the very good reason that he has
more work to do.
The JOURNAL referred this state
ment to Mr.. Walker and received from
him this sententious response:
Salaries are based upon the actual money
receipts of the office. Mails received and
sent out are not taken into consideration at
all.
The Repieu must take another tack,
if another tack exists.
But the JOURNAL can see no way of
escape for the Rerieto. 1t has endorsed
the error that Homecoming has more
population than Frostburg so far that
the hallucination is its own. 1t is
committed fully to its illusion and
joined to its idol fallacy.
In other words, no hypothesis will
explain why the postmaster of the
smaller population gets $500 more
salary than the postmaster of the
larger.
The postotfice department sis not
built that way"
