The b. and O, r. r.. Co. will run
another excursion 10 Washington on
February 18th similar to that of
January 22ud, when hundreds of
persons all along the route took
advantage of the reduced rates to
visit the National Capital. They re.
turned with glowing accounts of the
trip-the many mid winter attractions
at Washington and the excellence of
the B. and o. train service. More
opportunities are afforded in Washing

amusement, enjoyment, instruction
and sightseeing. At the theatres are
the best attractions, while public and
private receptions are the rule of the
hour. Congress is in session daily
with its galleries open to visitors. as
are also the public Libraries, the
museums and the art galleries. Be-
sides these places Of perennial interest.

Funny Business.

Court convened this morning and took up
the motion of r. II. Gordon to set aside a
sale of a certain tract of land located near
Boetcheryille, on the National pike.
At the October term, $780, No 1913 trials, a
judgment of S92 was gained by Brace & Rich
mond against Mary Eckles and others. This
judgment, it seems has been lien on the
property belonging to the Eckies' heirs,
which lies in the "Narrows."
Last August this property was advertised
for sale by DeWarren H. Reynolds in the
county edition of the Co~rier and the prop
erty sold on August goth.
Il. II. Gordon, counsel for the agent of two
of the Ecklcs heirs, who are infants, made his
motion to set aside this sale ON the ground
that the sale had not been properly adyer-
tised, because, as was proven by the evidence
of Mr.. Hambright, Mr. Reynolds ordered
him to put the advertisement in the county
edition only
The statement above was taken from
the Cumberland Times of Thursday.
1t makes public for the first time the
fact that there are two editions Of the
Cowier-one for the city, the other for
the county.
1t also shows how the lan, which all
of us are compelled to respect so high
ly. is carried ont in the matter of legal
publications.
The JOURNAL has long known that
in this respect in this county the post
of newspaper profit is in an obscure
station; that many advertisements,
designed by law to go before the eyes
especially of those most interested,
find hiding in tame, insipid papers that
appear 10 enjoy no other excuse for
living. 1t has wondered where their
readers got the inspiration to pay the
subscription prices. Three-fourths of

Is il a "NeWsDancr 2"

A few people have observed the
great masquerade of independence as
sumed by the Frostburg Le1ger, both
in the legend-''a newspaper, not an
organ which it fiaunts on its title
page and in its editorial columns.
This show has been going on until q
majority of the few are fully
persuaded that the 'not-an-organ'
speciality is a thing of the past.
In advance of these was the JOUR
NAL, which long ago suspected that the
Ledger was '.ap organ" but not of its
publisher.
Surmise is substantiated by several
private and public circumstances of
recent date.
The JOURNAL will allude to one only
of the public series.
In the anonymous crusade against
the policemen, John Chambers threw
off all restraint as as a private citizen
and appeared before the Town Council
III btlldlI VI IHt tllCclS. liz lOoh pttl
in the discussion, and by voice, man
ner and tone affected enormous indig-
nation at certain remarks made by
councilmen. He assumed to be ire
mendously disappointed over the fact
that no unofficial citizen had az
rogated to himself the conspicuous
province of becoming regulator"
He, private citizen, expected" to
find that some other private citizen
had preferred charges against the Of
ficers, and he, a private citizen, had
come to meet those charges with in
dignant disproof. No charges were
there. Yet Mr.. Chambers had con-
siderable say, and in a style that
should not have been permitted for an
instant. He was almost as mad as If
a vigilance committee of citizens had
come in to run the police and him out
of town.
This detail of statement is made
not to indicate that Mr.. Chambers
attorneyship of any cause or anybody
amounts to anything, but to show that
the Ledger, erewhile quite critical Of
the policemen, had nothing to say of
Mr.. Chambers conduct. 1t even gulp-
ed down without blinking the Bailiff's
charge that "half the Ledger's story of
the Indian uprising was a lie :"
1t is likely, after all, that the Ledger
is "an organ"-of one, if not all its
stockholders.
The JOURNAL does not hold this to
be an offence. If Mr.. Chambers can
afford to own and run San organ"
nobody will more quickly accord him
the fullest right to do so than the
JOURNAL.
But let him tear from its forefront
the statement that it is mot an organ"

Good for the Soul.

There is an impression abroad in
Frostburg, as well as other portions of
the county, that the JOURNAL scooped
the press generally last week in the
publication of the names Of the incor-
porators of the Frostburg Ledger
publishing company.
The JOURNAL is modest, but its duty
to the public compels it to confess with
bushes that the achievement spoken
of was an immense journalistic feat.

Sandbagged by Thugs.

Mrs. E. S. Stafford, who resides on the
East side. has received communication
from Butte City, Mont, which conveys
the intelligence that her husband is
lying at a hotel in that city in precari-
Gus condition, from injuries received at
the hands of party of thugs. who tried
to rob him on the street about a
weekEago. 1t appears that Stafford re-
sisted the highwaymen and was struck
with a sandbag, and after he fell to the
ground was beaten and kicked severe
ly. He was picked up on the street in
an unconscious condition, and since
that time has been cared for by the Odd
Fellows of the city. He has a serious
wound on the head, and it is feared is
injured internally. Mrs. Stafford will
go to Butte City unless she hears that
her husbands condition has improved.

Next Friday there will be meeting
of the Minnesota worlds fair commits
sion. At that meeting a superintendent
of the Minnesota exhibit will in all
probability be chosen. There is more
than one candidate for the place. The
session on thar account will be some
what lively. But the rivalry between
the candidates for the superintendent
of exhibit will not produce all the
coloric that seems about to be gener-
ated there. There is a storm brewing
with we'll defined center and point of
lowest barometrical pressure. The
course of the predicted storm:
1t is politics.
Yes, politics has entered already into
the manipulation of the worlds fair
fund. Naturally it creepS out first in the
election of a superintendent, that being
a fairly good ''Snap." And 1T is not I'M
natural to expect political manipulation
of this matter. OF course, the worlds
fair will be a national, not party affair.
None the less, it is certain that there be
partisan leaders who will not hesitate
to use the worlds fair for political pur-
poses once give them chance. Min
neSOta has governor who is politician
before-many years DefOre-he is a
statesman or servant of the
whole people, exclusive of party.
And 'they do say'' that Gov. w. r.
Merriam is, in his quiet, crafty, three
leads-Out-Of-fve way, trying to use the
worlds fair commission as political
weapon. There are several candidates
for the position of superintendent, any
one of whom would probably be good
man. But there is one who is poll
tician and who Is supposed to carry
around with him a good sized wad of
political influence. That one is l..
p. Hunt, OF Mankato. This in
fOrma ton comes from reliable
source in MinneapoliS-frOm an
unprecedented source. 1t comes from
man who is interested in the worlds
fair; who is, moreover, likely to have
quite good evidence Oh the matter. He
says that several members of the COM
mittee are satisfied that the governor is
using all his official might to give the
appointment to Hunt. They will fight
it. Then there will JOY in large, gilt
tering globules. This gentleman affects
to see a good deal that is wrong in this
move. He says, first of all, that
Hunt will demand a fleshy salary.
Then, as Hunt doesn't know
mucn ABOUT eXnlDltl0nS, the DOard OF
commissioners will be compelled to
hire some one to assist Hunt. There
goes part of the $4,000 appropriation.
Then, this gentleman says, the people
of Minnesota, seeing that the worlds
fair fund, an appropriation made for
the states benefit, not for party, is
being used to further partisan political
schemes, will refuse to give any more
money for the state exhibit. And there
you go. Minnesota. one of the greatest
states in the Union, the pride of the
West, the glory of the Northwest, will
be put down a par with Rhode Island,
North Dakota or Idaho.
But the grand old republic must be
saved even if the peoples money be
spent for it.
