The Rest Can't Do II.

The Cumberland independent, a well
meaning paper, takes an extract from
the JOURNAL and Cumberland Times
each, indicating the high regard in
which the paper is held as a paper at
its own editorial desk. and calls the
pair "a job lot
This comment bears quite heavily
on the Times, which claims to be kind
of false-tooth grandmother of the In
dependent. 1t inn lies that sort of per-
forating ingratitude which is said to
poison and grind to a needle point the
fang of thanklessness in a graceess
kid
But not content with photographing
the Times as the junior member of "a
job lot, the unfeeling independent chips
from some anonymous observation the
following scrap of wisdom:
a well-informed person once wrote: There
is always limit to the distance one can travel
on brag and buster"
Possibly true, especially in cases
where natural death overtakes the en-
terprising hero.
But there is somewhere in the Bible.
"Plutarch's Lives" Bacon, Locke or
Goblet, an interrogatory to this effect:
Whose bloweth not his own horn, by whom
shall that horn be blown?
Who, then will blow the Times holn
if not the Times?
Not the Frostburg Leiger, for the
Ledger, like the independent, is inclined
to make virtues Of only those few
things it can do, and vices of the many
it cannot do.
The Times must, therefore. blow its
own horn, and it is much obliged to
the JOURNAL for this defense of an in
alienable privilege.
For if there was law against ''trayel-
ing on brag and bluster.' only those
could indulge travelling who cannot
enjoy its most delightful exhiIaration.

NEW TRAFFIC LINE.
How the Merchants of San Fran
cisco viii Get Relief.
what the Union Pacific and Great
Northern Lines Are Going TO DO.
Freight TO Pass Through Port
land From Astoria.

! SAN Francisco, Aucust 19.-The Chron-
icle says the fight bein' .ade by San Fran
cisco merchants to ha freight rates TO
and from the East reduc, g already bear
ing fruit. Before the establishment of the
new clipper lines of ship. shich are now
carrying great quantities If freight, the
Northern Pacific and Sunset route had a
monopoly of the business to the exclusion
of the Northern lines. Now, however, the
Onion Pacific recognizes the fact that it
will soon be in position to take hand in
the competition for business and is making
preparations to that end. The Pacific
Mail Steamship company, controlled
by the Southern Pacific company has al
ways been handled as a club with which to
threaten any intending competitor on the
water, as it has lately learned that the
Trans-continental association will refuse to
pay subsidy any longer, the Union Pacific
will be ready for business. In view of this
condition of affairs, the latter railroad COM
pany is now preparing to increase its
steamer service between San Francisco
and Portland. Instead of one steamer ev-
cry three or four days daily steamers will
far as the trains CO. The line from Asto-
ria to Portland, it is an open secret, is be-
ing built by the Union Pacific. The dis
tance between the two towns is about a
hundred miles and one-quarter of the road
is now completed. When this line is fin
ished the Union Pacific steamers will land
freight at Astoria and will then send it di-
rect east. 1t is estimated that the average
time from San Francisco to Astoria will be
80 hours, train time being 80 hours. Two
new steamers are to be secured at once tor
the trade and the Union Pacific believes
that by thus showing the merchants of
San Francisco its eagerness to help it will
secure a good portion of the trade which
the control of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company and its use as a club have ena
bled the Southern Pacific company TO send
east over the Sunset route. 1t is not be-
lieved here that the transconti-
mental association will go TO pieces,
yet it is thought by representatives of the
transcOntinental lines that Mr.. Stubbs will
succeed in securing permission 10 cut rates
to the extent that he has been asked. The
opinion of J. s. Leeds is that the assOcia-
ton will grant the Southern Pacific por-
ton, or rather fraction, Ofits demands, and
that the subsidy which has hitherto been
paid to the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany will be cut of; also the latter COM
pany will have to compete on the same
footing as the clipper ship and steamer
lines. The Great Northern promises to
dip down into the California business by
running a steamer line between San Fran
cisco and Puget Sound, and later on it is
confidently Believed that President Hill
will carry out his original idea of building
from Butte, Mont, via Boise City down to
San Francisco; thus both lines are reach
ing out for the California trade, and out Of
their competition and the evident desire Of
the merchants to help themselves, relief is
sure to come

DETROIT, August 19.-An attempt was
made by the Michigan Central this morn
ing to send switohmen 10 Buffalo to take
the place of the strikers. but the conductor
refused to take the train out with the men
on board, so the men were taken to a hotel
ANY further attempt would doubtless have
resulted in a strike here. The men will be
sent by way Of Grand Trunk.
CHICAGO, August 19.-Grand Secretary
Simsrott, Of the switchmens union, says:
GAS long as the situation in Buffalo re-
mains in the present shape, there will be
no general strike along the entire lines of
the affected roads, and even in case the
companies should succeed in raising the
blockade at Buffalo with top p-union men, no
strike will be ordered until decided upon in
a mass meeting of all local unions. From
present indications 1 am inclined to think
there will be no necessity for such a move,
as the roads will give in"
BUFFALO, August 19.-The Brotherhood
of.Engineers held a secret session and dis
cussed the status. The result is not di-
vulged The hremen meet tonight and inn
pOrtant developments are looked for with

road telegraphers are in close accord with
the other organizations and may take

slowly in all the affected yards today. A
delegation of strikers called on the sheriff
this morning and demonstrated with him
for calling out the troops. They said if he
would send the troops away they would
guarantee no violence would take place.
Some yards are so glutted with freight
that even passenger trains could not get
to the depot and the passengers had to
alight some distance out and walk In.

is Drawing TO "A CIOse--Emanci-
patton Day for WhItes Coming.


patton Day for whites Coming.
WASHINGTON, d. G., August 19.-One Of
of the most thoughtful, able and intelli-
gent of the Southern democrats, who is op-
posed to the rule of Bourbon oligarchy
which has for so long held dominion in the
Southern states, after reviewing the sltua-
tion in North Carolina and Alaboma, and
indicating that there is very serious danger
Of democratic defeat there, says: at is a
curious and significant fact that in Ala
bama as in North Carolina, the existing
party division turns out upon analysis to
be nothing more than revolt Of theyou
ardent, and progressive elements Of the
white population against the tyranny and
the arbitrary methods Of thelbourbons. In
these as in all Southern states, there has
been for at least a quarter of century an
arrogant olgarohy, intolerant of oppo-
sition, .imperyious to enlightenment and,
accordingly, unfit for domination.
Against this naughty and oppressive
rule the ferment Of rebellion has
long been actively at work. Confinement
has only intensified it. Defeat has but
served to give added strength and energy.
Events In Alabama have made it impossi-
BILE to swear away the gravity of that situa-
ton. Fully 60 per cent. Of the white voters
of the stat have, by the admission of lead
ing democratic papers in Alabama, allied
themselves with the revolution. In de-
tiance Of the ierCest denunciatiOn, and in
contempt Of rancOrOus persecution with
out parallel in American politics, ma
lority Of its quondam followers have broken
away from the democratic organization
and raised the standard of free thought
free speech and free political action. The
revolt is not the idle and fantastic caprice
Of thoughtless and shapeless rabble, but
the serious, coherent gravitatlon Of a pow
erful and intelligent body. The regime Of
the oligarchy draws TO close. Emancipa-
ton day for the Southern whites is dawn
