A Well-Founded Complaint.
To the MINING JOURNAL,

To the MINING JOURNAL.
On Monday, May 4, the fire COM
pany tested several sections of their
hose and washed out the hose house.
A connection was made with the plug
directly opposite the Lutheran church !;
the hose laid across Main street and
out Water street to the hose house.
Several of the men were left at the
plug and when teams came along the
drivers were asked to wait few min
utes. The water was turned off and
the hose removed from the street.
None We're detained more than FIVE
minutes, and no one manifested a de-
sire to "kick" until L. M. Gorsuch's
big freclay wagon came laundering
down the street loaded with six or eight
tons of clay. One of the firemen hail
ed the driver, HENDERSON, and re-
quested him to stop a few minutes till
he would get the hose out of the way.
This HENDERSON refused to do, saying
he ''had no time" but drove over the
hose, not even giving the men time to
shut off the water pressure. The matter
was brought up at the last meeting of
the department and a committee APP
pointed to state the occurrence to
Mayor and Council at the next meet
ing and publish the same in the city
papers. COMMITTEE.

Better Unpublished.

The Frostburg Ledger last Saturday
published an account of a doubly un-
fortunate affair involving a young
Cumberland minister.
On the same day the minister
brought suit for libel.
The JOURNAL has said the affair was
"doubly unfortunate"-a term which
probably needs elaboration:
|, 1t is unfortunate for minister to
bring scandal to his high profession,
and
2, 1t is unfortunate that some
papers find in such reproaches their
best medium of getting themselves be-
fore public notice.
The one furnishes the occasion and
the other uses it as pabulum for a
class ever on the lookout for breaches
of christian decorum.
The one forgets his profession
strangely enough, but yet he forgets
it.
The other forgets that in Haunting a
violation of ministerial dignity before
all the world it furnishes cause for
vicious rejoicing over some disposition
not wholly regenerated, some infirmity
not entirely sanctified, some relict
of poor human nature not yet made
proof against temptation.
However, We're the traverser the
only sufferer in such cases little hurt
would follow.
But he is taken as a real type of his
profession. Whether missionary or
martyr, the unthinking mob puts him
down as indicating in the minute what
the guild is in the elaborate.
And through him christianity suf-
fers, and the church, which can never
be better than its apostles, loses pop
ular respect.
This is the worst result of all.
Even in a temporal sense the church
is the saving grace of society.
Those who impeach its integrity
strike at the heart of civilization.
Those who implicate it in the mis-.
doings of its exemplars aim at the seat
of life of every condition that besses
human kind.
And when We have permitted the
church to be disarmed of its heaven
born influence IN the realm of law and
order the lamp that lit the torch and
still feeds the flame of civil liberty
will have been extinguished.

Quick I!

The deliberate driving over the
towns hose by teamster the other
day suggests to the Council that such
action should be made unlawful.
1t is not yet determined whether the
section driven over is injured. II it
is the town is out about $50.
There are some pretty big men in
this town-some so big that their inter
ests are apparently bigger than the
town itself, but it does not lie within
the prerogative of transfers to destroy
the towns property and at the same
time ruin the peoples means of pro-
lection against fire.
If the town were no larger than
Homecoming, such freedom might go
without criticism.
But as the matter stands, Council
should give its ordinance committee
job at once.

New Model,

If the foreman of the next grand
jury will get off something like the
following from the last report of the
Dorchester grand jury the JOURNAL
will get Robinson to slap him on the
back and say SEE ?" in that inimitably
grammatical way that is peculiar to
himself"
We have examined the Jail and found those
who are in stripes, bonds, and affections and
they seemed to have Learned to be content
in whatsoever state they are in"
Our temple of Justice has long worn the
habilaments of mourning, and the Spring
Valley is now clothed with the weeds and the
grass of desolation. The painters brush
should be made to adorn and beautify the
one, and the other instead oflooking like the
Valley of Achor, should be made to look
like the very landscape of beauty.

The correspondent of the Lonacon-
ing Star who does his penmanship in
that Office writes
Oh, yes. this end of the ring faction has
been at work for some time. 1t is presumed
they are now buying up newspapers, and
that the Reoie~ is their latest purchase Most
likely they have secured a lease on the Joua-
NAL of Frostburg, and are now trying TO buy
it outright

The JOURNAL expects to show next
week briefly as it can how Lord
Macaulay disagreed with better gram
mariarns than are in Homecoming, and
and how Gibbon, Hallam, Alison,
,Junius, Disraeli and Blair made mis-
takes, as we'll as the JOURNAL, that
no teacher III Homecoming has yet
heard of.
The JOURNALS article will be in
structivc alike to pupils, examiners,
principals, assistants and bumptious
little editors.

MINING JOURNAL.
FROSTBURG MD, MAY 16, 1891.
Suspension of Judgment Requested.

Suspension of Judgment Requested.
Oder's definition of collective noun is far
in advance of anything yet written.-Lona-
coming Star.
How do you know
In the JOURNALS mind the name of any
number of things is collective noun.
q pounds of sugar in 81 parcels is
plural and so much sugar is plural
only in that condition. 81 pounds of
sugar in one mass is singular and
singular only in that condition.
Now let us see what is in the Stars
mind when it writes of collective
nouns:
This town needs water works. 1t needs it
badly and can get it cheap.
That is-n (the town. needs 1t
(the water works. badly and can get
1t (the water works. cheap.
When the JOURNAL masses q
pounds of sugar and uses the singular
form of the verb, the Star demurs.
But when the Star combines a res
ervoir, mains, regulator, connections,
faucets, all of which, unlike pounds of
sugar, are radically distinct, separate,
individual parts of system, with no
likeness each of the other-the Star
goes far ahead of the JOURNAL in MAX
ing water works singular in fact.
But the professor was doubtless
away when the Star got to wading into
pronouns, where numeral agreement
with the nouns for which they stand,
as well as in gender and person, is
unrelentingly impel alive.
However, this brings us to the
following:
Prof G. NJ. Perdew is being generously
complimented by divers persons for the
successful manner in which the Frostburg
JOURNAL has been laid out in the grammatical
controversy.
Now, was the professor present, aid
ing and abetting, when the Star, leav-
ing the labyrinthine intricacies which
arise between nouns and verbs, got to
dealing with the plain, simple, almost
self-evident consonance that must
hold between nouns and their proxies ?
If not present, was he teaching the
young ideas of the third town any
such gospel according to Harvey
If present, why did he not hint to
Robinson that numeral agreement be-
tween nouns and verbs and between
nouns and pronouns-that the one is a
matter of form, the other matter of
fact.
But Robinson has mistaken the
"form' as holding all the way through
the domain of syntax.
And he has returned the professor
just enough credit for grammatical in
struction to involve the extent of the
latter's attainments in uncertainty.
But the JOURNAL requests all who
have so generously complimented"
him to crawfish until the accuracy of
the Stars statement can be verified.

Coming Event,

The air is full of newspaper libels.
The Frostburg Ledger was in luck last
week, and now Col. John w. Averitt
is chasing the Cumberland Ne,os with
one that is reported to be malicious.
1t is question of time only before
the Homecoming Star will lie in wait
for it's grammarian with one that is
technical"

The Vital Need.

r. H. Gorden writes to the Cumber-
land Times a letter proposing water
supply for the city on the gravity
system.
His points are well stated and con-
elusive.
They are in effect the same used by
the JOURNAL in its arguments for the
Frostburg supply.
The fact is, when a town needs
water, it needs it bad.
1t must hare it, or put itself down as
an unsafe place of residence.
All other improvements, all impos-
ing architecture and great pretensions
generally are absolutely valueless if
the water supply is villainous.

The Star is the only paper in the county
whose rating is guaranteed to be correct by
Geo. P Rowell e. Co., the publishers of the
book-Lonaconng Star.
And as a matter of mere reciprocity
of blowhard, the Star is doubtless the
only paper in the county that will
guarantee Geo. P. Rowell & Co.

just as much before as after said

Then and Now.

How strangely circumstances alter
cases.
Not along ago The Cumberland
Times was moving heaven and earth to
get the canal into the hands of the
West Virginia Central railroad COM
pany. This ostensibly because it was
to Cumberland's interest to have the
railroad company thus aggrandized.
Now it is opposed to an employee of
that company for Mayor of the city
because the city's interest would thus
suffer.
The JOURNAL regards its latter posi-
ton as better taken.

IMPARTIAL but Earnest.

The second place in the county still
manages to furnish boom plans for
Homecoming to copy.
The second place wants the railroad
to come up into town; the copyist
wants it to come down.
The JOURNAL, which is an independ-
ent paper, hopes both will win.
