The NatiOuatRo3I

The National Road was undertaken
by the government in fulfiIment of a
contract with the State of Ohio, the
State agreeing not to tax government
sales OF land in Ohio for five years
after sale !; , per rent. Of the sales We're
to be applied to making a road from
the Atlantic navigabIe waters to the
lower Ohio. This promise the govern
from Cumberland, Md.
Congress passed the act March %,
1906. The motive spirit behind the
road was Secretary OF the Treasury
Galatln, who lived near the road in
Southwestern Pennsylvania. at New
Geneva, thirty five miles above
Brownsville. There the first glass IN
Pennsylvania was made, and il
is now the cheapest glass in the
world. A powerful incentive to
build this road extra well was the,
lnclpent secession movements in Is en-
lucky, Tennessee and Southern Ohio
about the year 1907.
The Road Commissioners, Eli Viii
liams and Thomas Moore, of Mary
land, and Joseph Kerr. of Ohio. locat-
cd the road in 1906, taking Braddock's
route to Glst's and Buru's route to
Brownsville. BY 1907 the site had
been chosen from Cumberland to
Sandy Hollow the eastern division.
The remainder If the western division
10 Wheeling was not fully settled til
about 1917.
The road was a;xty-six feet wide ::
the road-bed from thirty to thirty-four
feet. 1t was paved twenty feet wide,
eighteen inches deep at the middle,
twelve inches ut the edges.
The lowe, stratum was a pavement
OF stone, closely set vertically. covered
with broken stones to pass through a
seven inch ring, and then six inches of
the top laid with stones passing
through three-iuch ring. The high
est grade Of the eastern division is 5
degrees; of the western division, A.
degrees.
In lS3236 the road was thoroughly
repaired by the United States and sur
rendered as Il toll road to the States
through which it passed
In lIoS Colonel Thurber, Of the
British army. built a road from the
Cumberland Valley to Pittshurg.
"In 1920" says Hillreth, "the Cum
herIand road has been completed to
w Wheeling IT IN expense of about
$l,IO0,O00" Many petitions had been
presented for its continuance west
ward, aud $4,000 were appropriated
for Il survey, but with proviso that
this was TO be no pledge for any
further expense Gath.

n Eailacy Corrected.

In looking around for advertising
mediums merchants and Others should
not be misled by the stereotyped state
ment Of any paper claiming "the
largest circulation in Frostburg and
viclnity''-a condition which, if true.
implies no value on that account. A
handful may become Of more value as
its number is increased and dis
trlbuted, but not necessarily a paper,
often taken to get rid of the solicitor
and his solicitations.
Hence, the paper that is taken and
paid for voluntarily by the multitude
is the one to which the people attach
value ; it is the one whose publications
inspire confidence, and is the one which
reaches more surely the buying classes.
The JOURNAL is this sort of paper.
1t has the largest unsolicited sub
scription list, not only ''in Frostburg
and vicinity" but IN the county!
And by general consent it is not
only the best paper in the county at
this time, but it is the best that was
ever in the county at any time.

About the Rochester Lamp.

The lamp business may be cIassed
as one of the great industries of the
country. Within few years great
change has taken place in the bust
ness. Glass and crockery lamps have
given way to bronze, IRON and brass.
In Connecticut alone the following
cities and populations are largely en-
gagged III the manufacture of bronze
and brass lamps: Meriden, D, 900
Waterbury, 10000; Birmingham aud
Ansonia, 20 600; Bridgeport. 10000 :
Total 1920 people. The business
has increased immensely since the
Rochester" bronze lamp was intro
duced with Its perforated cone burner,
about FIVE years age. There are over
two million Rochester lamps in use,
and over half IA million a year are
regularly sold.

Labor Saving Machinery

In opposition to Powderly. who is re-
ported to have made II fiery attack
upon labor saving machinery in an
address to the Farmers Alliance, at
Ocai;. the Chicago Tribune volunteers
a vigorous defense. He spoke of "de
fraudIng workmen of the right to
work. &c. The editor says:
Imagine man talking thus to an
audience made up chiefly of Southern
planters who, but for the cotton GIN
instead of producing yearly 5000, 900
bales of cotton, would not grow $780,
900. 1t is owing to labor saving in
ventions that the cotton seed, which
the planters used to throw away or
burn up, has been converted into q
commercial, product which yields the
the South over $50, 1000, 900 yearly.
II ydrauiic cotton compressors, by re-
ducin-y the bulk OF the bale of cotton
whether shipping by sea or land. have
lowered the expenses of Transportation
so much as to make a saving of from
| cent 10 , cents u pound. Imagine
The feelings with which the Western
Alliance farmers from Kansas, Ne
braska and the Dakotas must have
listened to the Chinese anti-labor-sa
ing harangue of the head of the
knights of Labor. These men know
that their farms would be valueless to
them were it not for steel prairie
pIows, for Irvine binding reapers,
mowers, power threshers and cleaners,
and scores OF other implements, and
most important of all labor-saving de-
viees-a well-equipped railway to
carry the products Of their farms to u
distant market 1t is knayish of
Powlerly to talk as he does when he
knows that the labor saving DEVICES of
the last haIf-century, by increasing
the productive power Of the working
man, have added so per cent. or more
to wages III this country and England.
ard nearly as much in Germaey and
France. They have increased the
purchasing power OF wages 80 per
cent. because of the greater cheapness
of commodities caused by them
Therefore they have doubled fully the
rewards of labor, while lessening the
amount of toll required of the in-
diyidual.

In IAN Address to the Patrons of the
Central School," Homecoming, publish
ed in the Star, George NJ. Perdew,
principal, says:
1t may not be a surprise to you for me to
say that the moral status of our school is ex-
ceedingly low. Three-fourths of the children
in attendance will not hesitate to falsify
when the truth will in anyway compromise
themselves. To prove them guilty of an
Offence they have stoutly denied, brings no
blush of shame, nor does it in the least shock
the sensibilities of their fellows, who will do
anything to shield them from detection and
punishment

My heart goes out to the little one as | see
slim enter timidly, with innocence and purity
written upon every feature. Is it any wonder
that the teachers righteous indignation is
aroused, sometimes beyond control, when
he finds this boy daubed with mud, called a
"dude" and insulted because he happens to
wear white collar and looks a little nicer
than other boys?
No, the "wonder" is that he is
prohibited by mawkish sentiment
from going through the crowd of little
bulldozers with fail.

Question OfTimc.

There are many people who to this day
think Stevenson Archer was the scapegoat for
other men who We're concerned far more
than he in despoiling the State treasury.
Whether this be true or not it is evident that
his lips are sealed. If he had companions in
crime no word of his will convict them.
His refusal to testify at Tuesdays trial shows
how determined he is to remain silent. Gut
it will all come out some day, and then we
shall see what we shall see Cumberland
Times.
Very probable. We may learn also
how all the exposure which so far in

have been developed had the West

MINING JOURNAL
FROSTBURG, MD, JANUARY 10, 1891.
Case Of Inorganic Pcssim;sm Still
Unsettled.

Unsettled.
in Its prospectus for 1.-The Coming
Year. the Frostburg Ledgcr makes II
hcrculcan effort to have its position
understood.
1t does this sort of thing more or less
every week, but its New Year issue
furnished distinctive occasion for a
special attempt to locate itself some
where in the sight of its wayfaring
readers. 1t says of the inorganic
position it will occupy in the thrilling
political contest of this year in this
county, the JOURNAL being responsible
for the emphasis:
We shall take no partisan part in the con-
test We answer to no mans beck or call
But IRE reserve to nurseries the right to
assist in the defeat ofany man whom IRE con-
slider unfit to hold public office. The party
badge will be no barrier to the Ledge,'s utter
ances.
AS though these terse announce
ments were not enough to fix its statu&,
it continues:
Let oar position not be mistaken. We
stand for the people against unfair po-
litical methods and IRE care not what party
me may have occasion to criticise.
And now we haye the riot act:
One word in conclusion The Ledger is
tired-yes, disg1lsted-with this everlasting
threatening, which is the stock IN trade of
few small fry politicians who essay to re
present political party. To the credit of
the party be it said that its best men re-
pudiate them as leaders. We are sick of
these murmured threats and ugly promises
We haye no threats to make in reply, but
IRE make a solemn promise that when the
proper time arrives IRE shall deliberately re
move the bandageS from the ulcers of our
local body polite so that the people may see.
The Ledger ought to take goblet of
hot elephants breath every morning
for several weeks and get its stomach
into more optimistic mood concern
ing its future policy.
A Senator's Great Head.
The Cumberland Times slops over on
Jul SClllol totIolol.
1t throws out this caution to the I'M
suspecting:
When Senator German seems least danger
Gus, beware of hun.
And the following was equally true
of Alexander, Caesar, Washington and
Napoleon
He is surest of success when he is Cilmcst.
For proof:
See the neat manner in which he disposed
of the republican majority on the Force bill
issue.
For parallels read, for instance, the
most vivid accounts Of the battles Of
Trenton and Austerlitz
But instead of "neat," the Times
should in future employ the term,
''cute" The latter conforms more
literally to the Senator's own notions
of his achievements.
Den0uement
That he will succeed himself in the Senate
is now more than ever assured.
Certainly. That is the logical,
necessary fore-ordination and effect of
minority rule.
Were he compelled to come directly
before the people, however, his polit-
zeal days would be numbered

This Region Should Say-"Nay :"


1t is to be hoped there is nothing in
the following item going the rounds of
the press:
1t is said that the coal mines all over the
country are to strike simultaneously in May
for eight hours.
1t is to be hoped especially that, so
far as this region is concerned, no such
foolishness will be developed here.
y brighter prospect for an active,
profitable years work never dawned
with New Year on this region.
1t would be an immense pity to
darken and destroy it by a step which,
10y shortening time, will hurt this
region UNNECESSARILY in market and
reduce greatly its earnings at home.
