The Farmers Advocate insists that
the farmers pay more than a fair pro-
portion of the taxes. This may be so,
but we are not altogether certain about
it. Very little real estate is assessed
for as much as the owners would vol
UNFAIRLY sell it. While all personal
property, bonds, mortgages, etc., are
assessed for their face value, and some
times their face value is good deal
more than their actual value. 1t may
be said that some of this kind OF prop
erty is in one way and another kept out
of the list. But do not the farmers
keep as much out in proportion to what
they have as any other class! There
are plenty of men who pay taxes on
property that brings them little or no
income, while properly managedtarm
will pay largely on the investment. We
think there are individual cases where
taxes bear hard upon farmer, and SO
they do sometimes upon men in other
callings. Some grumbling is with
cause. more is the result Of habit. 1t
ia the most difficult thing in the world
to make public burdens bear equally
upon all where almost every man tries
to escape all that he can. Those who
do the least for the public good COM
plain the most. The man who never
saves anything, spends all he earns is
the fortunate one when it comes to the
question of taxation. But if all imlta-
ted his example where would ne land

II IL an open question: WHetner tHe
Prince Of Wales is a good representa-
tive of the average Englishman as to
morals.So far as the aristocracy is con-
cerned he seems to be all right. 1t is
"good form" in the high-toned society
of England to gamble, but it is very
''bad form" to cheat. If you are not
caught of course no one minds it, il
you are you are thrust out into outer
darkness. VIM. Gordon Cumming
gambled-he was suspected Of cheating
and in order not to lose his hold on So
ciety he sued five of his aristocratic as
sociates for SANDER. 1t seems that he
lost his case. This looks very much
as though the cheating stands proven.
The Prince, heir apparent to the throne
of Great Britain, the son of his father
and mother, the good Prince Albert,
and the virtuous and respected Queen
Victoria, was present when the game
was played in which Sir William is
said to have cheated. The finale OF
this grand social fandango, or whatev-
er you may call it, was the marriage of
this doughty chief, Gordon Cumming,
to an American girl. An important
international question is, will he immi-
crate?

The Cumberland and Potomac
cement company was incorporated
Tuesday, Messrs. Anderson Hixson and
Asbury B, Caldwell, of Philadelphia.
Owen Hltchins, of Frostburg, and
Benz. A. Richmond and Daniel Amman,
of Cumberland, being the incorpor-
ators.
The object of incorporation is to
conduct the business of mining and
manufacturing cement, and the prop
erty proposed to be developed is on
the lands of Thornton Mckenzie, be-
tween the B. & O. and W. Va. Ceat trail
railroads on the Potomac river, miles
aboye Cumberland. Mr.. Cameron, of
Plttsburg, an experienced engineer,
architect and cement operator, will
draw the plans of the works and put
the enterprise in motion at once.
When completed and in operation the
works will furnish profitable industry
to quite large number of hands.
. The JOURNAL is not at liberty to
state the name of the probable super
lntendent, but he will be a competent
man.
The capital stock is $25, 900, a sum
which will probably be largely in
creased as the enterprise develops sue
cess. There are abundant means be-
hind it. Besides Messrs. Hixon and
Caldwell, above named, Capt. James
Bugh, and James P. Manseid, of Phil
adelphia, and Zenas T. White, of
Columbus, o., are heavy stockholders
Allare business men of the best latter
day development. With plenty of
money, tireless energy and a tremen-
dous body of rich material to work
upon, it is quite certain the enterp! Use
will be a great success for them
and incidentally beneficial to the
county.
The organization was effected at the
Second National Bank as follows:

Secretary and T,eaSurer-Janes Bugh.
Directors-Zenas T. White, A B. Caldwell

The undersigned herewith begs leave to
present his fourth quarterly report as Gen
eral Supervisor of county roads.
| have to report the condition of the roads
generally as bad, owing to the frequent rains
during the past winter, and that in conse-
quence of the roads being wet and muddy,
but little of the annual levy for their repair
has been expended; it having been impos-
sible to work them with any advantage.
In compliance with the directions of the
Board employed Martin Rice to remove the
blockade of snow on the Oliver Beltz road.
l inspected the bridge at Westernport and
found it temporarily trestled, and within the
corporate limits of the town.
found that the stone wall on the lower
side of the Bloomington road is giving way
and will have to be repaired.

road from the legislative road to Pekin, |
found a great deal of obstruction, caused by
a slide from the mountain; and ! recommend
tlldt JAMES ole'biopii, u, "liolH hlieSleti
to repair it at once, be allowed sum in adj
dition to the regular levy sufficient to COM
pensate him for the work.
In accordance with your instructions l
examined the road at John McElfish's and
recommend that bridge be put up over the
run at the eastern end of John McEltsh S
farm.
The road from the postoffice at Rush to the
top OF the Warrior MOUNTAIN is impossible,
and | would urgently recommend the APP
pointment of some one to repair it at once.

twenty-five dollars for putting stone on it, as

he comes to make up his jewels.
Instead of an ornament to bedeck
his crown of rejoicing he will discover
the scalp of the Star dangling from

catastrophe which follows well-meant
but misdirected energy.

One of the Mayors knock-down
comments Monday evening was to this
effect
What is fence law for if it does not
compel man to keep his ground enclosed :?
The Mayor is not aware, perhaps,
that the compulsion alluded to, le-
gally considered, is a mooted question.
Some courts hold that no con-
stitutional provision exists or can ex-
list that will compel man to do with
his land what he may not want to do
with it.
And as to the case in point-Judge
Wickes, of this State, held that no
man was obliged, or could be obliged
to fence his land against his neighbors'
cattle
As to damages. No good man
wants damages for a destroyed gar
den. Damages in such cases do not
compensate, and suits for damages are
to the last degree destructive Of good
uelBuDorSHlp.
But if there are so many laws to
compel man to fence his land and so
many remedies open to him when his
land is invaded and crops destroyed,
what is the matter with a law compel
ling the other man to keep his stock
enclosed 7 If the man whose land
cannot move around and infringe up
on anybody or anything else, must en-
close, why not also the cattle-owner,
whose property is alive, moving and
greedy7
1t seems to the JOURNAL that if this
capitalist, the cattle-owner, were held
as strictly to the duty of protecting
his property as the lot-owner in Frost
burg is-the whole question of fence
laws, remedies, damages and good
neighborship would be settled and
conserved at one swoop.
And thus it will be when our Coun-
Gil unlearns the philosophy of old fogy-
ism and takes up the alphabet oftrue
progress.

The JOURNAL does not know "Mr.
John F. Finan," but that gentleman is
fortunate in having herded several
correct answers with a number of
inexplicably accurate guesses of the
Homecoming Star.
The result is-Mr. Finan and the
Star are "arf-and-arf" benefciaries of
a scheme which "daily" places in their
hands "a handsome tea set valued at
$30"-an income far more affluent
than that of the envied business
manager of the Cumberland Daily
Neacs.
The term, "set," implies that there
are several articles of silverware in
each assortment. In which event it is
delightful to imagine that the ''daily
prize" are valuable.

"A Strange Case.

The JOURNAL does not at all approve
the suggestion of the Water Board to
continue imposing the tax Of Is cents
per 800 as means of compelling the
people to take their own water.
This policy might be encouraging to
the citizen to take the new water, but
very discouraging to him after he has
taken it.
A far better plan would be to state
to each taxpayer who can and ought to
take the town supply, full explana-
ton of his liability in the matter. He
should be visited and his interest
shown to him as often as may be
necessary. The truth should be told,
and in telling it not word need be
said about the old water company's
Industrious representations.
The case is plain one. Will each
taxpayer in town sustain and main
tain has o,sn interest in popular enter
prise7
Or, will he prefer to pay a double
sum for his water-taxes to keep up his
own works and rents to keep up the
competing supply
Why, people, If this were eompar-
atively far-away national affair, you
would not think of going against your
own. YOu would talk of war and
boast of American numbers and
proves.
If you did not and took the side
against your country everybody else
would call you a traitor
But, strange to say, the nearer home
some people get the more disloyal
they are.
In our case it is absolutely some.
thing to be ashamed of on one side
and despised on the other.
