High Old JinkS in Cumberland.


We have read your syndicate article on
Paresis, dear Journal. So apparently have
the people read our articles advocating the
election of Spencer c. Jones for State treas
urer.-Cumbcrland Times.
1es-o"ly apparently.
The Times had no more to do with
inducing 'the people" to select Mr..
Jones than the Frostburg Leiger had
in bringing on the conjunction of
Jupiter and Venus yesterday morning.
The Times only played a part similar
to that of a printing machine counter.
The machine elected Jones, who is
a machiniSt.
The Times is one of the indicating
attachments in such cases.
However. the JOURNAL will let the
tierce-looking Donnelly, the Balmaceda
of the Indcpendent, do our bumptious
neighbOr:
The Times having decided after investlga,
ton that Cumberland and Allegany county
would be better Off without the professional
presence of clnirvoyant Golden, has secured
from him. in the presence of the mayor, a
promise to leave the county as soon as pos
sible. certainly within the week.,-Daily
Tn,es.
After reading the above, one is inclined to
bow the head sagely and remark--will the
blatant egotsm that haunts some minds
bring forth the following tomorrow"
After consultation with the Times, Presi
dent Mont has decided to withdraw the
Malta note and make suitable apologies for
the insult offered the flag of this great
country Independent.

Diseased Papers.

The Cumberland Times says 'egotism
implies originality"
The Journal understands new what
is the matter with those short-stop
papers whose heads follow their feet.
The JOURNAL has, however, care
fully inspected the term, "originality,"
and, following the inductive method
finds that egotism also implies crank
ness.

Tllc(il.ip.

The ravages of the influenza and its
notably fatal results in conspicuous
circles recall the sad meditations of the
poet Horace many centuries ago. 1t
was in one of his chastened moods that
this poet wrote:
Impartally the feet of Death at hut and
castle strike,
The influenza carries off the rich and poor
alike.
The Shades and Pluto'> mansions follow hard
upon the grip;
Once there you cannot throw the dice nor taste
the wine you sip,
o Sestius, though blcst you are beyond the
common run,
Life is too short to cherish zen Il distant hope
begun.

1t takes money to carry on schools
a great deal Of money to conduct Il
system of good schools.
The educational superintendent of
New York says the public schools in
that State cost last year eighteen
millions of dollars.
And yet, he continues, 1.-THE system
is still in crude and unsettled condi-
ton"
So it seems to be everywhere and
will be until the people are able and
willing to stand the superior cost of
superior schools.

There and Here.

1t is proposed IN Washington city to punish
people who steal water. This is new de
parturc. Who has ever been punished for
stealing water or watermelons? 1t takes work
to raise watermclons, and water has to be paid
for as well as groceries, hut stealing water or
melons has been encouraged ever since they
have been known-Louisvile Eo",rie,'-.Io"r-
nal.

How different the condition in Frost
burg.
Here we want to pay a great big
price for several rivulcts-surface

We want to pay about ten thousand
dollars for it. although it is capitalized
at only seven hundred dollars.
The margin between its actual worth
and what is wanted for it is not far
from nine thousand three hundred
dollars.
And yet it is contcnded, in effect
that there Is not room enough inside
the limit for Il little newspaper subsidy
of say two hundred and fifty dollars,
or maybe fifty dollars .

The Frostburg Ledger flares up in IL
fame of apparently righteous indigna
ton over the intimation that it could
be guilty of taking Il Subsidy"
The Ledger may say what it pleases
concerning the truth or falsity of the
popular suspicion on this subject, but
the fact remains undisputed and in
disputable that there is no other reason
able way of accounting for the Ledger's
course.
Besides, if the Homecoming 'St"r be
good authority. its resentment is Ell
tlrely an atfectation. That paper on
several occasions alluded to a $3.50 en-
dorsement which effected a radical
change in the Ledge''S policy in another
matter.
And the Leiyer did not then think it's
integrity was worth somuch indignant
defence.
Now, then. if the STIR story, never
conclusively denied, be true, what is
the matter with the JOURNALS i'll
ference that there is something in the
margin between 500 and $4,000 for
the Ledger2 ...
In all tins matter the Journal cares
nothing for the Le1ger-a professed
organ of nothing, yet confessed
organ of the clique that wants to put
nearly $50, 1000 Of the peoples money

Roads vs.. Education.

The JOURNAL does not desire to be
under-tood as saying a word against
any means of increasing the facilities
and accommodations for public school
purposes, but it submits that these are
not the county's greatest need.
Beside the demand for good roads
they dwindle to nothing.
Indeed, to begin career Of bonded
Indebtedness on account of schools,
instead of roads, is like beginning at
the top and building downward.
For money properly spent on good
roads brings quick returns.
Not so in the same sense or degree
with schools.
Poor roads increase the distance to
market
Not so the effect of current school
accommodations.
Bad roads necesSitate small loads,
lost time, great wear and tear
of wagon and harness, and destruction
of horses.
Not so as a result of present want of
schoolhouses.
And so we might go on.
Good roads are almost as much
necessity as tillage itself, for without
them agriculture, the base of all in
dustry and business, would be we'll
nigh useless.
On the other hand, they make the
people ADLER to stand other expenses
and other taxes. The better roads the
more that can be saved to spend on
both public and private education.
Provide for good roads, therefore,
land all these things shall be added
unto YOU"

What is II ?

Among the Lelger's insinuations is
the Schonfarber innuendo-that the
JOURNAL is ''the organ of the mining
companies of this region
The JOURNAL would be proud of the
distinction We're it so understood all
round, especially by the companies.
But the JOURNAL will assure the
Le.lyer that whenever the "mining
companies Of this region" engage in a
scheme which, accomplished. will take
$4,000 out of Frostburg pockets for
something the town does not need, the
JOURNAL will not be the companies
organ.
But while the Le1ger is remembering
that assurance, will it state whether it
is fair for us to understand that it is
an enemy of the coal companies?
1t is their foe by implication, but is
it so openly!
If so, what is the consideration

Tho eyes of Lizette are like miniature seas,
With ripples that laugh, and willows that
weep
On the shore, and the low bending boughs of
the trees
Deepen and soften the shadows that creep
At night near the ocean edge, fashioned to fret
A saint into sinning-the eyes of Lizette.
The ewes of Marie were designed to derange
The minds of weak mortals. There is some
thing about
Them SO sweetly pathetic, as deep and RS

As two holes in the night where the stars are
pulled out.

NOW THE TIME FOR PREVENTION.

The spread of cholera has reached q
stage at which the neglect of all proper
precautions amounts to criminal careless
ness. Optimistic skepticism Of such obvi-
Gus danger is as bad as, or worse than pes
simistic panic-stricken credulity.
So far the Government officials have
made a most signal and culpable failure
to appreciate the extreme gravity of the
situation. Procrastination in adopting
strict and rigid quarantine regulations is
the very acme of folly. Any petty incon-
venience arising from the use of proper
preventive measures is utterly insignificant
when compared with the incalculable evils
which will ensue if the disease is once al
lowed to obtain a foothold on these shores.
Foreign bills of health should be treated
as so much waste paper. Absolute re-
lance must be placed in American quaran-
tine officers. They must be allowed to
take nothing for granted, and compelled
to be thoroughly radical in their exami-
nations. The most scrupulous care should
be taken in excluding rags and all other
merchandise coming from districts which
have been within reach of Infection.
Nothing can compare for an instant with
the value of human life, and the safety
of thousands of Americans depends upon
due care at this time The dire results
which may follow a superficial examl-
nation of passengers are strikingly indi-
Gated by the sudden death from cholera
of two men within few hours Of their
passing the inspectors at London.
Now is the time to act, and without
further delay the Washington officials
must issue peremptory orders for an ade-
quate quarantine blockade.

INSPIRED BY PREJUDICE,

The London Economist, in speaking Of
the approaching monetary conference,
says that $50 far as the rehabilitation of
silver is concerned that is foredoomed to
failure" 1t goes on to predict that when
the expectations of the United States in
that respect are falsified the apprehen-
sions with regard to silver payments will
make it necessary for the Government to
take energetic action and protect its stock
of gold.
The promptness of the Eco nomist to take
the failure of the conference as foregone
conclusion may be case in which the
wish is father to the thought That organ
of the monometallists would be very glad
to see the purpose of the conference de-
feated; but it does not necessarily follow
that it must be. 1t is not certain, nor is it
very hopeful possibility, that the confer
ence will accomplish any definite results.
But the fact that conference is called to
increase the monetary use of silver implies
a recognition that there is necessity of
reinforcing the worlds stock of gold by
restoring silver to its own use If Eng
land attends the conference, as has been
ulAtCu, tuO L1COTtOUttct COuuclto WOulO
imply she would do better to stay away.
But in case the conference proves futile
it does not imply that any wide apprehen-
sions would follow in this country. There
are no large interests here relying on the
conference. Free silver advocates are not,
else they would not push their coinage
measure in advance of the conference.
The gold men would certainly not be dis
appointed. The class between the two
who desire to see the silver question set
tied by restoring silver in way that will
not depreciate the currency may feel an
abstract disappointment; but their appre-
tensions are not likely to affect the money
market especially.
1t will, however, be clearly the duty of
the Treasury to protect itself in such a
case. When it does so to the extent that
foreign nations cannot draw on this coun-
try for gold at will, England may make
the discovery that it would have been
wiser to assist instead of obstructing the
effort to increase the worlds stock OF
money metals.
