A Big Little MAN I'm Big Political
Place,

WAsHINGToN, July 17.-"Tom" Car
ter's selection as chairman of the repub-
lican national committee was received
in Washington with great surprise, and
by the usually best posted politicians
with positive incredulity. Notwith-
standing President Harrison's inability
to persuade any of the really big
men of the party to accept the
place, it was generally supposed that
lie would finally get some man of ma
tional reputation at least. His failure
to do so is a source of disappointment
and even humiliation to the President
and his friends, and they will not be apt
TO forget that the various senator's and
other prominent persons to whom nc
turned in his hour of need refused to
sacrifice their personal comfort and con-
veniencc to become his friend indeed, as
the figurehead of the Harrison campaign,
Tom Garter is all right, and it NAV be
true, as Uncle Jerry Rusk has claimed for
some time past, that there are no flies
on him. Still, he does not represent
quite the element in the party that the
President would like to make conspc'
uous in the coming fght. Carter is an
honest, straightforward man, typical
western hustler, and is said to be as
shrcwd as he looks. lie has never done
anything in politics, however, to justify
his reputation, except to buttonhole
men and figure up results at Min
neapolis. Mr.. Carter's only connection
with national politics up to date was II
thecapacity of secretary of the republican
congressional committee i'll the disas

Joey Joker Robinson promises a
tremendous paper next week. He
seems to think that he and Avirett are
the only men that ever took real
plunge at a bee gum.
From some remarks being made out
side it's evident Allegany county is
beginning to be looked at as Il cemetery
Just de Heated to the interment of the
freedom of the press.
Only twice in the history of Cum
berland has that town been as wet as
at the Flood, , ,344, B. C. That was on
the two last days of the untimely cen
tennlal and last Monday.
S. J. Edwards & Son make az elab-
crate announcement this week of an

They haye big store, yet it is as
much as they can do to keep it full,
owing to the continuous drain on their
assortments.
The JOURNAL regrets to state that
the movement against j. Joker Robin
son is assuming a dark color and a
funnel-shape. Men hear the sound
thereof but they do not know where it
is going.

One reason why so many men are bald
headed is that they keep their hair cut short,
causing it to bleed to death in few years.
Long hair lives longer than short hair. There
never has been nation with more baldheads
in it than there is now in the United States,
where a close ''shingle" is the prevailing hair
cut.-Hancock CIV. Va.) Courier.
Col. J. W. Plattenburg. editor of the
Courier, is man who knows more
about more things than half dozen
men can tell him in u week. His tes-
timony, as above given, confirms the
,JOURNAL'L belief of several years du-
ration that the plug ugly shingle' is
a BARRIERS business scheme. There is
no more natural reason why man
should grow bald headed than II
woman, and there is not bald headed
woman in a thousand.

told the following:

Mr.. Frank Winning, of Martinsburg, w. Va.
