Very Truly.

Some discussion has arisen between
the Cumberland Nc,rS and Frostburg
Ledger concerning 0D'oetntS of editorial
matter.
The Lcdqey gives the usual answer of
very limited editorial ability-that
news is in the minds of mediocre
journalists the sumB,um bonum of news
paper excellence.
But the NejrS assumes to impeach
the JOURNALS capabilities this way:
What would become of the JOURNAL if it
should become a daily, is too difficult to con-
lecture. 1t would not have time to run home
for Il book OF reference to correct itself, and
give that rounded turn to its sentences. Its
morals would not be 50 well pointed nor its
tales adorned, If any such calamity were
earned out. 1t would find out that six days
in which to get up an editorial and six hours,
to he two entirely different things
1t is evident somebody has "postcd''
the Ners with II statement both in
correct and eXtravagant.
The JOURNAL very, very rarely re-
fers to more than three books-these
at hand 'Crabbe's Synonyms" THE
Right Word in the Right Place. and
"Webstcr's Dictionary" and these, it
acknowledges, it should consult oftcner
than it does.
AS a matter of fact, therefore, JOUR
NAL editorials are constructed as
hurriedly as those of the Mems, and are
subjected to more Interruptions. That
sort of work is not and cannot be a
speciality with one who has also the
''local' work to do, the advertisements
to put in type, forms to make up, ard
three distinct occupations outside the
newspaper business.
All the writing on the JOURNAL is
done inside of three days, then dis
jolntedly, and often. very often, I'M
perfectly.
What we could do on a daily we do
not know, but if we could make
editorial supp y Of one Il sole occu-
patton. and could think as rapidly and
write as fast as now, We believe we
could give the Ncrs on the tariff, or
any other issue, dozen elegant Gordi-
an knots to unite every morning.

Another, Perhaps Better plan.

CUMBERIANn, NOV. -, 1872
To the Mining JOURNAL.
avail myself of the invitation eX-
tended to all parties to formulate a
plan to rid this county Of boSSism in
politics. From the way things have
been managed in the past by both the
democratic and republican parties it
has become impossible to obtain Il
nomination on either the democratic
or republican ticket. unless the bosses
of the aforementioned parties consent.
1t makes no difference how many dis
trictS candidate may carry, because
when the delegates, chosen at the
primaries for any particular party,
come to Cumberland the night before,
or on the day of the convention, they
immediately repair to the Sd,ct"m Of
the boss, learn his wishes and act ac-
cordingly. even though such action is
in direct violation o. the positive III
structionS Of the people taking part IN
the primary elections.
In this way the wishes of the boss
and bosses are carried ont, and the
wishes Of the people selecting and
sending the delegates to the county
convention are wholly disregarded and
ignored.
AS an instance | shall refer briefly
to the last primaries III this county.

!. J. Robinson. editor of the Iona
coming star, was placedin Jail Wednes-
day tor ninety days for charging Judge
Hoffman with cXtra-iudicial work in
drawing juries.
Hundreds of people believe that His
Honor was not injured and ought not
to have felt injured by the charge: that
the allegation which struck him was
an overshot fired by a marksman
whose intention was good but his hand
unsteady.
The same people believe that Robin
sons punishment will be bootless of
good to those most instrumental in
taking his liberty for Il season.
To the Journal his imprisonment
is the loudest call yet made for II re-
form Of the method Of drawing jurieS
whatever that method is.
The plank providing for it is already
in the democratic platform. and if that
party will put five able men on a ticket
pledged TO secure it, they viii be elect

The First Impulse Of the First Law of
Nature

Nature.
The bright people on the Cumber
land NerS are great sight-seers.
And they are generally successful in
finding something which astonishes
them.
When this pastimc plays out there
is some effort INDUCED to fill space by
raising questions of veraclty and sug-
costing imputations Of unfalrncss, and,
later. placing the JOURNAL in a con
dition of penitence and self-reproach.
At least so they did last Monday.
But if the JOURNAL did not show
during the campaign that reciprocity
was the most immediate and certain
danger which beset coal, 1t did not
show anything.
And it did this very thing exactly
from the standpoint of the Ners' eX-
pectations and work upon the as
sumption that a complete republican
administration would come in. More
over. upon its nominees many un-
necessarily solemn pledges to sustain
reciprocity.
Under such IL regime the enlargement
Of the free list was one Of the easiest,
simplest things to accomplish under
the sun.
Aud, while taking our own market,
it would not have opened another to
us.
Under the incoming era coal,
already down to the revenue basis, is
safely anchored. even though the axe
of reven re reform comes with kcenest
blade
But if free trade in coal MoHM ensue,
it will be an evil of far less magnitude
than If restricted by the reciprocity
provision. 1t will open the world to
our coal-not steal our own market
from us, and then. to make destruction
doubly sure puctjcady 6"iW chinese
~oH a0"nd crnY coal mgion in this

The -Ner$ is quite right i'll admitting
that the JOURNAL did not discuss the
issue as a partisan, for, as a matter Of
fact, it is not party question. 1t is
an economic business question of vital
interest to this region.
When, therefore, the Journal heard
that Russell Harrison seriously pro
posed to club coal combinations int"
good behaviorby ''&prcddy making coal
free under reciprocity" it did not run
to see whether the Mckinley Act per-
mitted him to DO it, He was taken at
his word. And we hold that word now
as an indication of White House sen

|; the tariff is a tax why is it that the
farmers axe, which is projected in the
United States, costs ninety cents and in Free
ceEtS.-Cumberland NtrS.
There are several reasons, concern
ing which the tariff has nothing directly
to do.
The main one, doubtless, consists in
difference between the trade fashion
here and the,e in "handling" axes.
For every trade has, not only Its
style of ''handling," but its trade
Seclets.
For instance. if the axe business
were ''handled" here as we understand
the salt business is, 1.-THE farmers axe
should not cost him over 81 cents.
But if we are mistaken and it is true
that system of free trade in axes
makes them cost L. cents each more
than under the protective process. why
is ii we do not want free trade in coal,
and thus get at least Il cents u ton
more for il ?
The true answer to this question
will fully expose the high-tal if absurd
ity of putting down our natural re-
sources to the English limit and our
natural conditions to the English level.
1t will show, moreover, that onyanti-
