1t Is notorious fact that many of
the Homestead strikers privately ex-
press disire to resume work, but are
afraid of the ostracism of the walking
delegates and master workmen.
1t was so here in 1881.
The tyranny of capital may be UNI
bearable in spots, but the despotism
of so-called labor is intolerable all
over.

There must be a mystery underlying the
causes which would impel a Frostburger to
send all the way to Baltimore for a paper
hanger. Especially so when that Frost
burger Is champion Of Frostburg as against
all aliens, right or wrong.-Letlgcr.
No mystery about it at all, except to
those who will never have paper to
hang.
The paper-hanger was not sent for.
He was here and is still here, enjoying
more applications for work than he
can accept.
More than all, there are none in
Frostburg his equal in taste and skill
If the Ledger doesn't believe this, it
is cordially invited to come and see
for itself.
Which incllnes us to believe there is
no more improperly in employing a
Baltimore man, native of Frostburg
and once a next-door neighbor of the
JOURNAL, to do little work than for
the Ledger to leave Allegany county
for Baltimore to buy its secondhand
type.

\ Fair Report.

The paper prepared by Chairman
Oates of the judiciary subcommittee
on the Homestead strike and the
Pinkertons, which was rejected by the
committee as too radical, just before
the close of Congress, gives
/, A history of the trouble
., Blames the Homestead people, par
tcularly women and boys for their brutal
tiles to the surrendered Pinkertons.
3, That the men were not paid as much as
they should be, considering the hardships
they had to endure
4, The Carnegie company was given credit
for much kindness in the past, but chairman
Frick was blamed for sternness and brusque
ness. If he had appealed to the reason of
the employees, the men might have accepted
the reduction willingly.
5, That the Pennsylvania law did not for
bid the employment of Pnkertons at Home
stead, but chairman Prick was over-hasty
and ill-advised in employing them.
6, The Amalgamated Association had no
right to enforce its wishes by defiance of the
law, and
I, Congress has no power orer tie question IN
rolced and it ~ould be almost impossible TO enact
n satisfactory arbitration lar.
Although the full committee rejected
the report as ''too radical" it Is fair,
honest, judicial view of the situation.
Hence, the real reason of its rejec-
ton was this-that it is not what the
current demand for political demagogy
prescribes.
The propositions contained in the
italicised paragraph are precisely
those stated by the JOURNAL when the
measure ofinvestigation was proposed.
Hence, the more the question is
studied by the legislative and weighed
by the judicial intellect of the land,
the sooner it will become manifest
that the only sovereigns in the case
are those directly concerned--th man
who employs and the man who is en-
ployed.
And there is not constitutional force
enough in the universe to make either
do what he does not want to do,
although board of arbitration might
declare against him,

A st. Louis judge has decided that

collected from man who is on a

That judge has evidently been in
his time a walking delegate, and
later, master workman.
Which would give Terry V. Powder

\ Riddle.

The new School Board dropped Dew
H. Reynolds from its service as
attorney, but the reason therefor
appears to be private property.
1t could not be incompetency, for
that test would have also sawed off the
perennial tenure of the ever-during
Weimer.
The JOURNAL has no fault to find
with Jasper N. Wilson, Mr.. Reynolds
successor, whom it regards as a sage
for his years and worthy of honor.
But it would like to understand the
true inwardness Of a scheme of salya-
tioa which saves Il sinner like Werner
and loses a saint like Reynolds.

Hardly Know We Are Here.

The civil authorities of more than
one town have recently found them
selves with an elephant on their hands.
Those Of Bucksport, Me-, are now
having an exciting experience.
An elephant of the Asiatic species
escaped from a circus there last Mon
day night, and since then has been
terrorizing the citizens for miles
around.
And as long as that pile of telegraph
poles lies at the depot the shadow of
"Lucanian OK will fall athwart the
mental vision of the Frostburg gentle
men who have undertaken to show the
Western Union telegraph company
that there is power in Israel.
Meanwhile, the company hardly
knows that there is an old fogy Frost
burg on its lines; much less of II kick
against progress there.

4 Courtesy Returned.

A weak, weary and purposeless
paper published in Cumberland under
the misnomer of independent continues
to harbor a vain desire to say some
thing really mean of the JOURNAL.
This the great paper can stand with
unruffled equanimity, but not so Sc
renely the affected notion that the
JOURNAL is claiming undue credit for
leadership in the late agitation for
road improvement.
The JOURNAL, be it remembered,
claimed nothing until the Cumberland
Times affected to regard it as its only
assistant in the good word and work of
urging improvement.
To this the independent, which is
mainly stale, flat and improbable
aggregation of scar and yellow leaf
news items, demurred. And in de-
murring 1t was forced to depreciate the
power of the press in general, expose
its own worthlessness in particular,
and thus pay tribute to the drowsy
predictions of the ossified Hteruti who
constitute its reading clientele.
1t pretends also to regard the
JOURNAL as occasionally a news
paper" which is quite a smart ex-
preston, coming, as it does. from
a dim and dusty Renaissance wander
ing aimlessly, waddling weakly and
too slowly along the bleak corridors of
the tomb builder.
But the JOURNAL is real force in
the domain of public opinion. 1t
generally has something new to say
about current topics and passing
events, and it says it in a way that
stimulates waiting for it when not due
and watching for it when it is due. 1t
rehashes nothing from antiquated
daiies and repeats no idea that has
tassels on its venerable whiskers.
OF course, as in the present in
stance, it has to refer mloccaSlon-
ally to things morbid, lnSlpld ana more
dead than aliyc, but always as Il warn
ing to the young, n reminder of
mortality to the old and to the middle
classes for the general purposes of
philosophic and evangelistic effect.
1t is almost a pity, therefore, that
our innocuous contemporary has not
fallen into grave that has been timely
at any moment Of the last several
years, and that the following epitaph,
prepared at great labor and expense
for the special occasion, does not yet
mark its resting-place
Here let it sleep, that needed sleep so long
That weekly put to sleep its little tnrong.
It's joined the long and silent caravan
It's goal below us, and its furniture a fan.

A Fortunate Reconsideration.

The JOURNAL is surprised that so
great a number of people besought
Mr.. Wittig to reconsider his I'M
alterable resolution to doff the crown
of the Councilman and put on again
the higher sovereignty of the citizen.
|, The town of Frostburg is intensely
republican, aud by 50 much FESTIVE
under democratic dominion.
=, The administration Of the water
and telegraph pole department of this
year has been so extremely unreason-
able and unpopular that hardly any
Que would suppose Mr.. Wittig could
get more than Il dozen votes were
he running for reelection, instead
of holding on to the place.
At the same time the JOURNAL is
glad Mr.. Wittig has yielded to the
wishes of those who made it their
business to ask him to stay.
For when Mr.. Wittig is right he is
one of the foremost men in town, one
of the most useful and one of the most
valuable. At heart he is honest; in
intention earnest and in industry I'M
firing. HIS desire to improve and his
taste in that direction have been hand
somely illustrated by the example he
has set on the street on which he lives
now almost as pretty a promenade
as its residents can wish.
SO that by remaining in Council he
is afforded opportunity to become
equally right in judgment and equally
valuable where improvements on other
streets are involved.
In which event the town will be the
gamer.

Unless there is no revenue to be
derived from rentals of the proposed
water works for Homecoming, the Stars
opposition to the bill has some force.
Still, in Homecoming, as here, the
value of good water and plenty of it
is not measurable by dollars and cents.
Next to pure air, perhaps nearer, pure
water is the base of health and life.
Hence, how many dollars is good
health worth? And how many is life
worth ? Why. "W that a man hath
will he give for his life"
50 that the people of Homecoming
should not deny themselves the supply
of gjto1 element merely because it Is
costly, especially so if the bill can be
amended so Us to make those who con
sumo the water pay for it.
By the way, time is passing, yet we
see and hear nothing of what our own
authorities are doing in the direction
of increasing Frostburgs supplyto the
marinum of demand. This is a work
that should be taken hold of and
prosecuted without eyer letting 90
until it is completed. Investigation,
study, care and octioh demand almost
exclusive and continuous exercise by
somebody.

The committee says that they are fully
aware the management OF the exposition
has been subjected to great stress by rea-
son OF the limited time intervening be-
tween the inception and formal opening of
the exposition. Inasmuch, however, rs it
is now apparent that toe time will be ample
TO complete tie preparations, the manage
ment Bhould studiously avoid the extremes
or either parsimony or extravaganza.
The committee expresses tho opinion
that it is wholly unnecessary to provide
for more than one meeting of the national
commission and board of lady managers
during the fiscal year of 1893, and recon-
mends an amendment to the act to give
necessary executive powers on certain
points to the board of reference and con-
troll. In regard to the complaints of i'm
proper letting of contracts, ETC.. the COM
mittee doesn't find the charges sustained,
but regrets that more publicity was not
given in some cases.
In conclusion the committee expresses
without reserve confidence in the assured
success of the exposition. In every essen
tiRl feature, says the report, it stands I'M
rlvalled in all time. Fifty-six nations and
colonies have accepted the invitation to
participate and have already appropriated
So, 703, 900 tor that purpose. 1t is expected
that twenty other foreign countries will
be represented. For buildings and special
exhibits of our own states, So, 1872, 500 is
already provided. The expenditures of the
exposition all around will reach the stu.
pendous aggregate of $50 600, 600.
In scope and magnifcence the exposition
stands alone There is nothing like it in
all history. 1t surpasBes all kindred enter
prises and will amply illustrate the mar
velous genius OF the American people.

The Contest for the Democratic Delegation
There is going to be spirited contest
when the Democratic committee on trans
portation to Chicago meets today to open
the bids, as it were, of the lines competing
for the straight out Democratic train. The
com mittee consists of E. A. Smith, Moses
Thatcher, j. r. Letcher, A D. Cash and
David Evans, and it has the names of q
goodly list of Democrats who will go down
TO see The Tuscareras scalped. The Rio
Grands Western and the Burlington have
secured the Tusks and it is said they have q
guarantee of sixty. When the question of
nothing Of sleepers and hotel expenses
comes up no one will be surprised if the
list uudergoes q very rapid shrinkage.
Rumor has it that the Tusks get a rebate
of $40 a head on every ticket they sell,
which practically makes them S40-rate.
OF course the roads couldn't cut the rate,
but they could present to the Tuscarors
treasury little love bonus Of SO head
for every Iniun who got enough wampum
together TO make the trip. Seel

to call a constitutional conference of dele
gates to be elected, to meet in Chicago in
June, 1898, to be composed of two bishops
and both ministerial and lay delegates from
each annual conference, to revise and
amend the constitution of the church and
submit the results to the annual confer
ences for ratification.
A resolution was adopted requiring mis-
sionary bishops to report all moneys re-
ceived from private sources.
The conference decided to elect two Sec
retaries for the church extension society.
The necessary change in the church law
was made and the nominations for the po-
sitions followed, but adjournment was
taken before the result of the ballot was
announced.
The committee on temperance and prohi-
bition has prepared q lengthy report, which
will soon come before the conference. It
reiterate the sentiments of the episcopal
address of 1888, declaring the liquor traffic
| inimicsl to the interests OF honest trade,
repugnant to the moral sense, injurious 10
peace and order, and that the only proper
attitude toward it for Christians is relent-
| less hostility The report further declares
the men engaged in the manufacture or sale
of liquors ought not to receive the CONNER
cial patronage of Christians. The licens-
| ing plan for saloons is declared to be q
means to foster snd sustain the damaging
traffic.
In closing the repor says that while it is
not the province of the church to suggest
or dictate as to the political proclivitles OF
any man, yet it declares no political party
has the right to expect, neither ought any
party receive the support of Christian men
IS long as that party stands com.
mitted to the license policy or refuse
to put itself on record in an attitude oil
open hostility to the saloon. The commit
tee on lay delegations has prepared a re-
port which will recommend equal lay rep
resentation in the council Of 1896.
