Westminster Abbe,'s Only Mechanic.

0eorne Graham, the only mechanic
buried in Westminster Abbey, was the
son of William Graham, Of Blackstone,
in the County OF Cumberland, England.
At the age OF thirteen he went to Lon
don and apprenticed himself to Thomas
Tompion, a noted clock and watch
maker, and later was taken into partner
ship, and became famous for the excel
leuce of his work. 1t was, however, his
scientific Investigations that gave him
great prominence. He corrected the
variations oil the pendulum due to the
changes OF temperature, by inventing tho
mercurial bob. the great clock at
Greenwich which regulates the time OF
the world, was made by him in Ivy,
and, although IL has done duty for near
ly century and thres-quarters, 1t is
still in use and now could scarcely be
surpassed ia its mechanical excellence.
Il is said, notwithstanding the long in-
teryal since 1t was made, that it does
not REQUIRE attention oftener than once
a wear. The mural arch at Greenwich
used by the English Government Tor the
testing of auadrants and other instru-
ments, was the work OF his hands. 80
great was his reputation that when the
French Government despatched Mauper-
titus to the polar circle to ascertain the
exact figure Of the earth, the instruments

All Wrong.

Voters of Allegany, we desire TO keep it
fresh in your minds that the Hagerstown
NAL. edited and owned by the son of the
late Hon. VIM. T. Hamilton, declares that
George l.. Wellington is more worthy place
in the ''rOgues gallery" than seat in Con
gress.-Cumberland NcrS.
That kind of talk is altogether I'M
moral and impolitic.
Allow that Mr.. Wellington is mis-
taken in any or all the issues upon
which he is running. no one can Justly
characterize him as the Mil has done.
He has held places of honor and trust
without having ever before within
our hearing incurred Impeachment.
Is is a shame, therefore, that political
discussion cannot be conducted with
out the employment of Incorporate
terms.
And ii Is Il shame that good men,
incorruptible men. have this sort of
contention to meet in every laudable
attempt at self-promotiCn.
Personally considered, Mr. Yelling.
ton is a gentleman of great native
ability and of splendid social and
scholarly requirements. If elected,
he will asSuredly take rank above the
average peerage of the House of Rep
resentatives.
That his accession thereto should be
contested goes without saying. But
his assailants should go to his platform
not to that sacred entity known AS
his Clearwater.
As policy the latter is better in
morals, and, taking the lowest consid-
GRAFTON in view, it is course whose
results never react at the polls.

The Air Would he Full.

With an evident tremor of the voice and in
manner greatly lacking perfect confidence
i'll their own expressions, the organs of
democracy in this county, from the Frostburg
JOURNAL to the Cumberland Times, OCCASION
is elected, Wellington or Mckaig the tariff
on coal will not be repealed. Cumberland
NerS.
Speaking for itself alone, that is the
undiluted belief Of the JOURNAL.
In addition, we believe with all the
faith that concurrent, corroborative
and cumulative circumstances can in
spire that the shortest cut and the surest
route to free coal lies ria reciprocity,
and that the roadbed is already laid in
the Mckinley Act.
And the worst of it all is-one of
our proposed representatives is COM
mitted to the principle and scheme OF
reciprocity by his own word and by
the charter Of his party.
SO that if the Mckinley Act is sus-
tanned by the people and Mr.. Yelling
ton elected, there is absolutely no hope
for us. For our own representative is
sworn against us.
And if the Act be not sustained and
Mr.. Wellington be elected, and the
dire flee trade prophecies of what the
unterrilied democracy will do, should
take shape in bill repeating the tariff
on coal, then we will be bad off-sure
enough, for we will have an enemy at
court who glorleS in his enmity, in
stead Of IL friend who will stand at the
least ION praying grounds and plead
ing terms with 1.-THE powers that be"
The Ne'rS is in bad old row of
stumps. 1t is as much as it can do to
steer clear Of questions which bring
chickens home to roost.
If the JOURNAL were a democratic
paper how the feathers on its free trade
jargon would fly

Some Words With the Bark On.

\ fair view of the matter is this:
For Mr.. Wellington and the Cum
berland No,rS to yell free trade" at
Mr.. Mckaig is for ''the pot to call the
kettle black"
We yield this much at the risk of
doing Mckaig gross injustice.
For every proposal to place coal on
the free list has come from republican
New England, aud if the Cumberland
Ners were IL Mas achusetts instead of
an AlleganY county paper. it would be
the hottest kind of a red hot free-coal
organ. 1t would 'see" the Chicago
platform on Il revenue tariff and 90 it
better on coal by several miles beyond
earsight and eyeshot.
But not only the great republicans of
New England are tainted with a desire
for free coal, but they are nearly every
where. This is instanced by the fol-
/ lowing statement of Senator kenna,
Of West Virginia:
The great difficulty the republicans have
had in procuring speakers from abroad to
impress upon West Virgnians the value of
their protective creed is to lind men who have
not made records i'll behalf Of free coal.
Continuing the Senator lets this out
1t was marvellous, for instance for ii man
like Senator Frye, of Maine, to stand before
the miners Of the kanawha Valley teaching
them the beauties and glories of protection
to their labor when he and every member of
his delegation in the House of Representatives
of a former Congress, except Blaine, had
voted for Il resolution to put coal on the froe
list and Blaine, being Speaker, had declared
himself in its favor.
There is probably no justice in pol
itics--nothing but blind adhesion to the
traditions and superstitlons of party
otherwise, nobody would be influenced,
or even affected by the iterated and
reiterated implication that one party
always narbors Il design TO make coal
free.
Perhaps neither party in part has
any right to monopolize that scare
crow.
But if it has the JOURNAL announces
plainly that that party is not the one
represented by the Cumberland Ne,cs ,
