Acknowledgements.

The AerS comedies all the admirable things
that the Frostburg Journal says about itself.
We admit its brilliancy in repartee, its
adroitness in lodging an issue and its clever
ness in avoiding an argumentative back fall,
but we do not think it acquitted itself with
Its usual conspicuous ability in holding mp its
end of the free coal cause in the late cam
paign.-Cumberland Nc,cs
That is a case concerning which
there is pre-eminent difference of
opinion.
AS to the other matters the JOURNAL
does not remember
l, When it lodged an issue"
,, When it avoided IAN argumenta-
tive backfall.'
3. That there was. outside of reel.
procity, "a free coal cause IN the late
campaign
OF the two first the NetnS must tell.
OF the last the JOURNAL remembers
that Russell Harrison, the Presidents
son, suggested as a specific cure for
coal combines "a specify demand for
reciprocity in coal" This suggestion
was fairly and squarely based on the
fact that that there was nothing in, on.
above. or unde, the earth forbiddng
the enlargement of the free list in the
Mckinley Act. a little motion to that
effect, sent careerlng through IA Con
gress pled9ed to reciprocity would have
reached a President clothed with the
extraordinary power of s"sPending Il lar
in order to let Canadian coal IN free
of duty.
The funny part of the business is
our own Congressman would have been
compelled to vote for it, or funk on
his solemn pledge.
This suggestion of Mr.. Harrison was
very naturally an unwelcome one on
Georges Creek.
But it was not intended for miners
to hear.
Now, then, with genuine thanks to
the Ne,rS for its compliments. the jour
NAL desires to assure all its readers
that it is not always in real earnest
when it speaks of itself, its accomplish
ments, or its achievements. Most Of
this sort of thing is innocent persihage,
INDUCED to show good temper and
answer Il pardonable desire to revel in
the license accorded by the plural

MAY Oyeirearh Themselves

1t is possible New England people
can carry their greed for free coal"
too far.
The home coal interest is very strong
and it is within the range of its power
to gradually build competing factories
close TO ITS mlnes--many of them at
Cumberland, for instance.
The eloquent prophecy of Il former
Governor of Maryland is still extant.
He said:
The day is colning-t may be distant, but
it is surely coming when New England in
tolerance and New England greed shall sit in
their rags on their barren rocks and gnaw
their workleSS fingers
Would it not be high old Joke on
the Cumberland Ners if free coal =
while directly "ruinlng" the "Cumber-
land coal region" should make Cum

tween the meridians where the hoarse
tempests thunder along the stormy At
lantic seaboard and where the waves
Of the mild Pacific kiss the golden

can issue a "Declaration of indie
pendence," based on closer proximity
to the cotton as we'll as the coal fields

"DOn't Pardon Him"

The Cumberland NtrS makes an
admirable argument opposing the
pardon Of H. Spencer-an argument
which is conclusive of the fact that if
Mr.. Spencer Is sent out into the world
again, it should be on the express con
dltlon that he regard Maryland, es-
peclaIly Allegany county, as too small
to hold his cotY"s, and that he will
practically cherish that regard for all
time to come.

Not Guilty.


1t looks like a forlorn hope, but the
Journal is not dismaycd to indicate
a patriotic purpose without mourning
imputations Of Sclt-Secking
The latest instance is furnished Dy
the Cumberland Ne,r$, which thinks
the JOURNAL wants to break into the
next Legislature. In its own words =:
The Frostburg JOURNAL wants the jury
commission bill made an Issue in the local
election next fall. Are we to infer from this
that our ncighbor would like to be one of the
live to take his chances Of slipping into the
House of Delegates ON the merits of such a
measure? 1t would be just the time for the
JOURNAL to figure conspcuously in the
political field with an eve to the Washington
flesh pots.
This is a surprise. The JOURNAL
had understood the NcrS to be above
inSinuatioEs as to motives that it and
and all other respectable papers had
relegated that questionable humor
down to the Frostburg Leiyer.
In answer to the question. however.
the editor hereof will frankly reply
IN.
He feels sure that he could not be
nominated nor elected.
Besides. he has arrived at that age
wherein to most law-abiding, peace
loving men. there is no place like
home"
And then-he already holds, as
editor Of the JOURNAL, one of the very
highest offices in the county-holds it
by the solid sutfrages Of the best-pay-
ing list of subscribers and the most
numerous retinue Of outspokenly com
mandatory readers in all the regions
roundabout.
To abdicate this station for almost
any nominal preferment would be a
promotion-IownwardS.
AS to the Washington heshpots'
What the Ncr~' reference is based
upon we cannot fathom. What we
have done, sad or tVen thought, bear
ing to the eye of the -Ne~s the color of

thing to do with the case
After quoting our article last week
indicating kow communities feel when
their welfare is threatened, it gave the
JOURNALS meaning the following
twist:
And 50 to this complexion it has come at
last. The JoURNNL finds comfort in the fact
that the South will now have an opportunity
of giving the North free trade Roland for its
force bill Oliver. But docs our friend con-
slider vino will likely becalied upon to paralle
of the "vIllaiuous concoctions' prescribed
under this rataliatory process and what its
own share Of the "medcne' may be:
Tn" JOURNAL projected no such
thought into the arena. Nor did it
ever at any time intimate that there
vas the least danger threatening coal
from the South.
Comparatively speaking, tie Hon"h is

The real enemy OF fairfield coal is

But it is waste of time so argue
>eif-evident facts.
Hence. the JOURNAL meant, and Its
language so stated, that people here.
so jealous of their own welfare, have
an opportunity torehect from the scare
raised by their own friends-not by
the JOURNAL, how the people of the
South, with interests Just as dear,
would have felt had an Anglo-SaXon
majority Of 10000 decrcrd that their
land of sunshine should be darkencd
by the shadow and degraded by the
substance of negro rule.
The JoUKNAL sought to teach Il
lesson of consideration for other
peoples welfare as one Of the prime
conditions upon which we can 90 be

rights. and that we cannot carry

remarkable notion:
1t >eclns to us that this is about the weakest
and most impotcnt attempt at excuse or
laIliation for the folly ofthat kind of partisan
ship that leads the masses of congressional
constituency blindy to the support ola policy,
the tendency of which is toward destruction
of their material welfare. that has ever yet
fallen under our observation.
The NetcS is TOO susceptible to un-
precedented establishments.
If every voter in this region had
supported Mr.. Wellington the hold of
coal on its tariff would not have been
strengthened Il particle.
In the .IoURNAL'S sincerrst Judgment
it would have been weakened. fatally
weakened.
For the great ma iority Of the country
has declared that the time has past for
any industry OF interest to arrogantly
announce to consumers that there is
but one side to this bargain and that
side is ours -
For one. therefore. the JOURNAL
wants the people OF this region not to

but the Virginias new pitcher was very
wild and sent three men to FIRST base
during the first two innings at critical
tunes. This, coupled with the fact that
Cullen's muscular colleglans commenced
to bang the ball all over the held, won the
game for Richmond College as they made
two runs in the FIRST inning and siI IN the
second. At the beginning of the third
Mike EnriGht was substituted tor Davis
and the wary lnsh boy held the College
down to one more hit and two runs.
Darby pitched very effectively for the
college club and was we'll supported. Al
though the Virglnias found hmm for twelve
hits, they were so evenly distributed
through the game that they only got In
