Fortunate Event at Homecoming.

The portrait of P. T. Barnum on our first
page cannot be misconstrued. 1t is good
picture of the famous Snowman who is now
dead.-Lonaconing Star.
This is exceedingly fortunate.
The late William R. Travers once
"misconstrued" Tom Ochiltree for a
horse-an error of Interpretation
which made Mr.. Ochiltree modify his
mash on himself to a considerable
degree.
In the case before us the Star leaves
no doubt on the minds of its readers
concerning the identify of its portrait
with "good" reflex of Mr.. Barnum.
Otherwise, it might have been taken
for trick mule in Homecoming jour
nalism, or, what is worse, somebody
who shutters grammar for the Star.

Homecoming Logic.

The population of Flintstone election
district is 4,524, and of Barton dis
trict 2,242.
That is to say, the tovn of Flint
stone is not only larger than the town
of Barton, but it is over twice as large.
Yet everybody knows the contrary
is true.
Fellow citizens, this is the style of
logic that makes Homecoming larger
than Frostburg. e"

Case of Suspicion.

1t appears that the Ledger syndicate,
so painfully hurt over the expense of
the Water Works, will not, after all,
permit the Water syndicate to relieve
it of its aches.
1t wont let the Water Board run the
works, and it wont let the works go
into other hands.
To the Ledger there is an African of
voluptuous proportions in every wood
pile.

Important Oversight.

An esteemed correspondent asks
What is meant when east Homecoming is
reported as larger than Homecoming?
On examination it is discovered that
there are 293 more people in east
Homecoming than in the town itself.
The town of Frostburg has 5l1 more
people than east Homecoming, and 1872
more than Homecoming.
Which easily puts Frostburg at
second place, east Homecoming third,
and Lonaconlng somewhere below
Flintstone.
Another equally estimable gentle
man writes:
In your definitions of the boundaries of
Homecoming you have yet left out two towns
wellknown to all citizens of Homecoming, viz
Seldom Seen and Never Seen.
True as gospel.
The JOURNAL completely overlooked
those two important places.
SO that if there are any extra people
lurking around the Star Office every
body will know where they are hid.

How to Paw for Law.Breaking.

The Cumberland Times endorses in
a complimentary manner the JOUR-

The JOURNAL wishes the press gen.
orally would take the same view.
The law charges all transgressors of
its provisions premium, payable in
money or work.
If there is no money in the one case,
then it should be work in all.

A Word or Two With the Bark On.

Of course, Rev. S. J. Clark will not
stoop to controversy with the Lonacon-
ing Star.
Nevertheless, he feels that harm was
done that could and ought to have
been avoided.
Whether the Star was conscious, or
unconscious, sane or insane when it
made its damaging statement, the
effect was the same.
The meanest part of the business,
however, in our view, is the intimation,
repeated this week, that Catholic
liberality in Frostburg must be made
an excuse to an already jaundiced
School Board for robbing our people
of their dues.
We have heard of people stealing
cents from the eyes of the dead but
this is the first time we have observed
the employment of the chief virtue,
inspired by religious duty to carry out
religious purposes, as an argument
for defrauding other people of their
stock in a fund collected from the
community.
The true situation is this:
Whatever the Catholic people of
Frostburg save to the public school
fund by building a parochial school
thew do not donate that fund to Lon
aconing.
The JOURNAL is responsible for the
further statement that whoever ac-
tually holds the notion that fund,
thus saved, belongs to any other COM
munity is thief at heart, and who
ever, officially or unofficially, sees that
such notion is carried into effect is a
thief in fact.

MINING JOURNAL.
FROsTBURG MD, APRIL IS, 1891.
A Remnant of Savagery.

Mayor Clice remarked last Monday
evening after the defeat of the measure
to emancipate the town from the
dominion of the cows that the mild
eyed mistresses of the burg had a
"wallow" near his house, but the all
night-long naturalization of the
bells, BELLS" did not worry him. He
could lie down and sleep the sleep of
the just as sweetly as though the dear
cows and their discord were not there.
Happy, healthy Mayor! and blessed
is the man who thinks all humanity is
built on his plan.
The ''wallow" is not out of hearing
of house where, last summer, dear
little infant girl glided deeper and
deeper each day into the shadow of
death. The greatest terror of her
life was the cowbell at night. In the
solemn stiffness it would come to her
through the darkness with the terrors
that only children, aroused and
alarmed, can conjure up. No one
knows, no one can imagine what that
little one, already mortally stricken,
suffered needlessly from the barbaric
custom which sanctions an annoyance
so heathenish. The races who torture
their burning victims are hardly less
cruel in custom than the people who
unconsciously stud the path of the
dying with shocks of alarm that make
short life long history of endured
infections.
In the case before us there was no.
thing but sleeplessness for the little
one and her attendants-a nightly
cruelty and loss of rest and comfort to
all the victims of an unreasonable,
unfair, clicked and utterly indefensible
piece of chronic partiality to for
tunate class.
And when the little one laid dead it
was the touching but almost consoling
observation of surviving contem-
porary:
The cows wont scare her any more, will
they, mama?
