Two Moods.

Singing along the riverside;
The skies above were opulent

The world is sweet. Is sweet l cried,
That morning by the riverside.
The curlews called along the shore;
The boats put out from sandy beach;
Afar ] heard the breakers roar,
MellOwed 10 silver-sOunding speech;
And still I sang it DER and DER,
The world Is sweet forevermOre."

Content beneath the gracious sun.

u
In dark days of grief and pain,
When I hoped that dawn again
Nevermore would greet my eyes
With its sudden, sweet surprise,
Came an angel fiuttering down;
Sought me in the lonely town,
Saying: "Sing. oh heart f~orlorn,
And thy music may he borne
And be blent In coming years
With the music OF the spheres.
Soft and low the songs thOu'lt sing,
Minor chords, low murmuring,
Lost perhaps TO all but thee
In the worlds grand melody.
Though no other ear than thine
To its piping should incline,
Poor heart, all the n%ve-long day
1t shall drive thy pain away;
And when tear-drops else would fall
Thou shalt hear its tender call.
Sing. then, softly, heart forlorn,
And thy music may be borne
And be blest in coming years
With the music of the spheres"
Then the angel did depart.
Leaving music In my heart.

The kernel of nuts and the resins OF trees,

False Alarm.

4 Barton subscriber finds fault with
the JOURNAL for ''giving the other
side pointers in your ADVICE to
the NecS." He thinks ''the other
side, forewarned is forearmed to steal
democratic thunder next fall"
If this be true. the JOURNAL cannot
help it.
For the JOuRNLI. Is not a democratic
paper. 1t is an independent labor
paper of the deepest dye, and always
anxious for good government for all
the people-not subsidies for pol
iticians.
But we think our friend is mistaken.
"Stolen thunder would argue con
fession, and deathbed repentance is a
seance which hardly ever disheartens
the old boy.
Besides, 1.-THE other side" will be held
strictly to their contention of last
winter--that the law making power of
the State should not impeach the law
administering power.
For 1.-The other side" cannot abandon
that position without themselves re-
fecting upon the court.
If, then. the democratic party will
put six Of its very best men on the
legislative ticket pledged to the jury
commission bill, enough good re.
publicans will go to its support to elect
it by several hundred majority.
With half an eye our Barton friend
can see that the dominant faction of
the republican party is already on the

An Instance.

Suppose the JOURNAL were to re-
quire proof Of the Cumberland Netcs'
insinuations that its current course is
dictated by aspiration to office, could
the Ne,cs furnish such testimony as the
Ledger says would stand in court
of law ?"
Suppose the Nems could not literally
surmount the difficulty presented,
would that necessarily compel it to
abandon its conviction that the cyl
dence it has is sufficient to make it
feel that its belief is true!
The JOURNAL mentions this to show
only this-that the demand for ''abso-
lutte proof in a great many cases is
an advertisement indicating that the
advertisers ''swaller" will be satisfied
with nothing less than a camel.
In some other cases, gnat would
strain his gullct.

All Will Feel Better.

The people turned Judge Gordon
down.
Was that an Impeachment of his
personal or judicial integrity?
They also turned Judge Douglas
down.
Was that an impeachment of his
personal or judicial integrity
Did the action in either case bring
the administration of justice in to con-
Tempt"
Not a bit of it.
Nor does the part taken by oyer 500
citizens to get Robinson out of Jail
mean spark of disrespect Cor Judge
Hoffman or a particle of contempt
for the administration Of Justice"
And when the people next fall will
have voted for the jury commission
bill they will feel that they have placed
their excellent Judge and all his court
house underllngs on an altitude mac
cessible to all sorts of criticism.
The above propositions and questions
are submitted because the nature of
the claim for unnecessary obsequious-
ness to the court leads to doubt of
the right of the people to reflect upon
Judge by at any time electing some
.bvdy else.
Another thought Expresses us-if
our judges were to die, would all jul
dicial sanctiication disappear with
them
Or would their successors inherit
their endowments perforce of popular
pseferment and by virtue of some
system of apostolic succession
We make these inquiries in no
captious OF irreverent spirit. but
mainly because the Cumberland Ne~s
appears to object to the JOURNALS
contention that courts, like other in
situations, must not only command
respect but must also deserce respect.

SwaShbuCklers.

There is little love-feast going on
now between the mberland Ne1cS and
Frostburg Ledger-some "busslng" and
Swapping of slobbers."
The latter publishes the following
paragraph, which the former com
mends especially as worthy of the
JOURNALS attention:
So far as our Frostburg contemporary is
concerned. it has not awaited itself of all the
liberty it already has so far as public officers
are concerned, and where absolute proof OF
derelictlon of duty have been at hand.
The Ledger is not very clear. 1t
appears to mean that the JOURNAL has
defaulted only i'll not producing what
it intimates is easy to produce.
Otherwise, the Ne,cs and Ledger are
over-much in haste.
Moreover, the Ledger is partly right.
We have copy of that paper contain
ing some interesting testimony, doubt
less now discredlted by itself, and con
cerniug which we might adopt Ne'cS'
conclusion:

brought about this sudden change, and per-
haps we do not, but we have our suspicious,
ard they prompt us to advise the etc.
But we will leave ''suspicions" to

In the first place, if it voices mat
ter of almost universal belief, it is liable
to suit for libel.
If it does not, it is not a newspaper,
not an exponent, nor certainly a leader
of public opinion.
Again-if 1t tells what everybody
seems to have good reason to belieGe, it
discovers that proofs for such belief are
the hardest things to find. The people
who betiece haye no opportunities to
know, and those who know are naturally
as innocent as butchered lambs.
In such cases, too, libel often takes
on criminal complexion, which makes
the great, big, rich aud powerful State
the prosecutor of the humble, little,
poor and impotent devil.
With the State conducting the pros
ecution and paying its expenses, the
defendant liberty of the press has
only ghostly show.

SDcciaI,

To the Cumbell land NerS.
The JOURNALS reply to your de
mand is ready.
Take our word for it. it is conclusive
of all and more than was embodied IN
the paragraph to which you so serious
ly objected.
1t is scorcher.
The JOURNAL has this fair prop
osition to make:
If the NeWS will send its managing
editor here to read it, we would like TO
allow him that liberty.
If after reading it, he persists in the
Necs' demand for publication, we will
publish it.
If he thinks, on the other hand, that
no public good can be subserved by
publication, we will withhold it.
The matter is, therefore, wholly
within the discretion of the managing
editor of the Ne"s, who ought to know
whether his paper really wants the
name it has asked for.
Meanwhile, our readers are con
fdently assured that the paragraph
to which the Neps objected is not only
fully but more than verified.
Which means that it was not strong
enough.

In the same issue it is stated that
Mr.. Mckaig cannot consistently pros

1t does really look like it depends
altogether upon whose OK is not gored,
1t is the duty Of the county under the
current administration to make the

But Mckaig owes to his republican
successor the prestige Of getting the
government to erect a public building
