Here ana Hereafter.
Friday morning of last week there
came to the household of Col. John
w. Avirett, editor of the Cumberland
Times, pretty baby girl, concerning
which the Ne,cs Saturday morning,
throwing the asperities of politics
overheard, said very nicely;
| Congratulations. Welcome and best wishes
for little stranger.
To this the Times responded Satur-
| day afternoon:
Thanks-kind words for little stranger"
are as sincerely welcome as gracefully sent,
Thus hath it come to pass that the
saving, "a little child shall lead Them
has been verified.
Wherefore, in contemplation of the
blessed office of the sweet little, un
conscious peacemaker during Satur-
days surcease, how vain and foolish
appear the strifes of this life.
1t prompts the JOURNAL to make
this inquiry:
Fellow citizens, if we get to heaven,
and memory of life here fails not,
with what amazement will we look
back upon our indulgence in puny
and Intellectual quarrels during a mere
step of eternity's endless march
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes.
Here is a gentleman worthy of the
republican nomination for governor
of Maryland.
Tried in high office, he was not
found wanting.
A business man, engaged in many
great enterprises, he has promoted the
industry and developed the resources
of his county with greater energy and
achievement than any other citizen.
In the prime of life and gifted by
fortune, he is equipped in every way
to make the race safely to himself and
creditably to his party.
Speaking of him as the elect citizen,
would the State of Maryland be unsafe
in his hands? Would man whose
history proclaims him true in all else
be false to the highest trust
If so, show us the man in the State,
similarly honored, who would himself
lose more by infdelity to popular in
terests.
Moreover, is it not high time that
both parties had ceased to regard
Sideling Hill creek as the gubernatorial
timberline of the State? sit not time
that the great region west of Wash
ington county enjoyed some re-
cognition in State affairs other than
as an opulent source of revenue
If that time has arrived, the man is
also here.
With very far more personal than
political preference for him, the JOUR-
NAL commends Lloyd Lowndes to the
favor of his party.
Everybody Should Work"
The caption is broad enough to
cover even the master workman and
walking delegate.
But it is quoted from the Baltimore
Suns report of a sermon by Rev. j. F.
Ockerman, we'll known here, last Sun
day, from the following suggestive
text:
And that We study to be quiet and to do
your own business and to work with your
own hands, as we have commended you.
Mr.. Ockerman touches up some of
the fallacies of modern labor ethics in
sententious style. For instance:
Many are disconnected over unequal wages.
No doubt there are instances OF injustice at
this point.
In most cases of unequal pay the blame at
taches to the workman.
Too often he is unskillful.
Or, if skillful, he does his work in a care
less manner
A perfect equality of wages, therefore,
would be high handed injustice.
Undoubtedly.
And this is one reason standing inn
pregnably in the path to success mark
ed out by the Noble Order of North
America to its constituent nobility.
AS well may the latter lift itself to
the seventh heaven of ''innocuous
desuetude" by its bootstraps.
After giving number of we'll
known reasons why some men are dis
satisfied with their lot and others UNI
happy because they cannot enjoy
| luxurious Incidence, Mr.. Ockerman
pays scriptural attention to the walk
ing delegate. Quoting aptly from his
text, he says:
Do your own business is also precept
| loaded to the water-line with blessing to the
| labor classes.
As far as possible let each one build up his
own independent business.
! The so-caled eleventh commandment
"mind your own business" is here forced
upon the attention.
A busybody in other peoples matters
creates vast amount of trouble.
In marked degree is thistru in the realm
of labor.
Among the capitalists it leads one great
firm to persuade all others in the same line
to combine.
If one should refuse to enter the trust, all
power is exerted to crush him.
