We Stand at the Head.

Mines and mining will occupy great deal
of attention at the Worlds Fair. 1t is very
likely that an extensive annex will be added
to the building to be devoted to mines and
mining. 1t is thought that the space now
allotted to this important industry Is insult
iicient, and as the applications for the space
come in il becomes evident that the display
will be one of the most complete and salts
factory ever yet made. The officials of the
Fair are now considering the question, which
will be decided tins week.
The Georges Creek operators should take
advantage of this, their best opportunity to
show the people of all nations some chunks
of the finest steam coal in the world.-Lona-
coming Rerie~.
The JOURNAL adds hearty endorse
ment to the above suggestion.
A coal exhibit at Chicago without
samples of the Georges Creek product
would be Hamlet with Hamlet left
out or words to that effect.
For we have the best steam-generat-
ing coal in the world, the best mines.
and the best miners mental, moral,
physical and skillful, to dig it.

4 Rln0dleSS Crowd.

The Frostburg JOURNAL has the following
to say under the above sensational heading {:
The Oakland Democrat contends that
Garrett county has only two State offices and
the politicians up there want to keep them.
The Cumberland Times, aware that Allie
gany county cannot keep the only office
absolutely belonging to the county, wants to
reimburse by obtaining the Land Commits
siouership.
The amount of consideration this county
does not get at the hands of the eastern
Democratic magnates would freeze fish.
Our esteemed contemporary ought to know
that when Alleganv county is able to compete
with Garrett in the way of breaking up
unanimous republican otfiCe-hOding within
its limits. it will be entitled to some con-
sideration at democratic headquarters, and
not till then.
If Allegany had sufficient political wisdom
within its confines to make it occasionally
turn up democratic, or even partly so, that
county might apply successfully for recogni-
ton. There's blood in those kinds of t"r7,
ups, you know, brother, if in no other. See :
Oakland Democrat.
If that be the ethics of the situation,
how did it happen that with demo-
crat in the Senate, and two democrats
in the House of delegates, Allegany
lost the Mine InSpectorship.
With these three democrats were
also elected five county commissioners,
which gave the democratic party full
control of all the county as well as
executive appointments.
Yet democratic governor reward
ed that big breakup of republican
unanimity by taking a mining appoint
ment from the mining people of ALE
gany and giving it to the FARMING COM
munity of Garrett county.
If that was not the act of "a Blood
less Crowd,' what was it
1t illustrates, however, all that we
have contended for-that the demo-
cratic leaders, State and county. do
not want Allegany to be democratic.
The former sympathize with the lat
ter to this extent-minority rule keeps
you on the throne majority rule would
land You under it forever!

CatastropheS.

The Ledger reports the cyclone us
1.-The worst catastrophe the town has
ever experienced"
The Ledger is, as usual, in error.
The great fire of 1874 inflicted losses
footing up the enormous sum of
$4,000. A great part Of this, it is
tue, came back in insurance, but the
net loss was still greater than that IN
ficted by the cyclone.
One of the main causes Of the great
disaster was the chronic inadequacy
of the Frostburg water company to
furnish water.
And yet, after losing on that one
day more than the new works will
cost, the people submitted. almo~t
without groan to the same dreadful
liability for fifteen years!
And now. that we have shouldered
little self-paying debt to meet such
eXigencies, some people want to con-
tend that we cannot get along without
the faithless old water works!
SO that, between the economists
who forget our equanimity under
disaster and those who foam with
symptoms of hydrophobia whenever
the new water works are under dis
cussion, we are w.lfully and deliberate
ly trying to be a very unhappy people.
There are some other recollections
of September 3, 1874, we could print
here which would give immense force
to the comparison between Then and
Now, but we forego both the pleasure
it would afford us and the pain it
would give very few others.
The moral of this story is-complete
the new works and patronize your own
institution.
Otherwise, 0 sinner, why choose the
harder sideo

"Criminals and Roads,"

That staid old monthly, the Mary
land Farmer, proposes the following:
We believe that it would save a large
amount of expense to the taxpayers of Mary
land If laws were passed by which criminals
and tramps should be put to work in making
permanent roads throughout the State.
1t would do away with a large amount of
dissatisfaction as to the employment of pris-
oners in our penitentiaries and jails. while it
would gradually build up the best roads all
through the State as an invitation to immi-
grafton.
Criminals could not at once take all the
work Of road making; but if such were the
law, it would gradually cover the State with
roads of permanent character, needing little
subsequent attention which they in the end
could give
We believe nothing but the necessary law
is required to commence a system which will
relieve the farmers of Maryland of heavy road
taxes and provide the State with the very best
grade of highways.
Moreover, if there is one description
of labor which more than another tires
a tramp OF ldleness, prisoner OF mis-
behavior, or convict of crime, it is
road work.
1t is to all classes the most unwel-
come of all toll.
Which accounts i'll great part, per-
haps, for the prevalence of bad roads.
Put the jailbirds on, therefore, and
we will have, not only better roads,
but more security Of life and property !;
not only better roads. but more in
dustrious, self-sustaining, honest
people.
In short, road work, impaltially and
inevitably forced, is almost sovereign
cure for lawlessness and specific
remedy for crime.
1t will be in the vast majority of
cases a whipping-post, minus the whip

Survived a Severe Test.

The Australian ballot law was put to
a severe test recently. and proved
its value in more ways than one. 1t is
teaching the voter to read and think,
in addition to giving him, as TAR as
possible. Il secret ballot and assurance
of an honest count. OF course, these
are in measure contingent upon the
honesty of the judges and clerks, but
under the Australian law, if properly

Hard Up This Morning.

The Ledger of this morning is hard
pressed for time, and gets up complain
ing that "life is too short"
SO it seems.
1t did not haye time this week to see
Messrs. Paul and Kane to establish
its claim that the JOURNAL is sin
sincere"
Great pity it is so busy.
1t wants "facts and figures" but a
very short, inexperienced boy should
never be allowed tall, double barreled
muzzle-loader. He is apt to in
vestigate the wrong end.
But Notwithstanding the brev-
ity of life, the value of time and, if it
gets all it asks for, the certainty of
suicide-it says more anon"
In the Leelger's bright lexicon of
youth" the English language lacks a
consistency that is very incoherent."
