When the Council gave the Western Union
telegraph company conditional permission to
place the new poles on Main street they could
have proftably paused to consider the story
of the camel who poked his nose into the
tailor's shop-Ledger
The reason Council could not avail
themselves of so much profit was that
it was not a camel that was the hero
of the exploit, but an elephant.
And when the tailors had pricked
his trunk with their needles he went
to the old water works of the town,
filled it, went back and squirted the
whole dirty gorge all over the tallors
and their work
We make this correction. not only
to set the Ledger's rehash of fable
straight, but to inform Council that if
there is any moral to this story it is
this-that the telegraph pole affair is
public, not private business.
In other words, that the people are
the elephant in the case, and that the
telegraph pole matter is not a private
tailor-shop.

The Picnic.

To- day the fremen will celebrate the
l4th anniversary of their organized life
The preparations made imply great
expectations of attendance and enter
tanning features of more than ordinary
interest.
All that appears tc be indispensable
to its complete success, therefore, is
one more rainless day.
Should this come to pass, the weather
will have conspired with public liber-
ality to make happy the braye fellows
whose self-imposed obligations commit
them to the heroic duty of protecting
property and life.
And it We're we'll that it should be
so, for these b,ave, unselfsh men are
more than worthy of the largest de-
gree of pleasure they can derive from
fraternal contact with visiting organi-
cations dedicated to the same intrepid
work and humane purpose.

The Better WAY,

Improvement of roads is making
good progress under the laudable am
bition Of our county commissioners to
make good showing in that respect.
The operation is necessarily slow
one, but patiently prosecuted, it is a
sure one to give eventual satisfaction
to taxpayers.
And now, as we contemplate by con-
trast the lately incurred debt of SIC, 900
for schoolhouses, the conviction of its
inutility is more than ever apparent.
Spent on roads, it would be real
blessing, appealing to the gratitude
of man and beast. Spent on school
houses. it supplies no indispensab BILE
want and repairs no crying evil.
Far better had the Act which
authorizes it been entitled
An Act to make more passable the APP
proaches to the present and prospective
edilices of education of Allegany county.

A Present Duty.
Subscribe for the JOURNAL.
The Better WAY.

The JOURNAL supposes that all those
papers that so loudly denounced the
employment Of convict labor in Ten
nessee are approving the outcome Of
rebellion and murder down there.
Also the result of their premature
and incorporate denunciations of
Pinkertonism as developed at Buffalo
in rebellion and incendiarism.
These instances show that it is very
dangerous to justify outlawry on any
account. The mob misunderstands
such expressions as an endorsement of
what has been done and as the license
of popular approval to go further.
In the end, therefore, brethren of
the press, you have all got to come
back to the happy platform on which
the JOURNAL stands all the time.

The Size of 1t.

The only answer we deem it necessary to
make to the confident assurance of our es
teemed contemporary, the COmrjer, that the
water ordinance will be defeated, is to ask
the question If the people refuse to vote the
money, how will they ever obtain an efficient
water supply NewS.
That is the point exactly.
How are the people to get water
unless they provide the wherewithal ?
1t cannot be done, and, without
knowing the particular local objec
tons to the Cumberland project, the
JOURNAL has this to say:
That in 80 per cent. of similar in
stances vote against an efficient
water supply" is vote directly in
favor of typhoid fever and blood
poison in general.

PITTsBuRe, Pa, Nov. 2S.-The senatorial

its session here this afternoon. Chief
Martin of the Carnegie labor bureau
thought the effect of the employment of
armed detectives bad, as the workingmen
were violently opposed to them. Il. c.
Prick thought his company had a right TO
employ armed men to protect their property.
lie said his firm was now treating with
the men as individuals, but had no preiu-
dice against them if they belonged to the
rnlon. He denied the firm had black list
and said they employed over twenty thous-
and men. about 35 per cent. native Amerl-
caus. Speaking of the effect of the strike,
Mr. Prick said the men probably lost about
Sl,000,000 in wages. The firms loss ne
could not estimate. They had forfeited 3
good many contracts, but in no case were
held for damages.

laws were insufficient and the sheriff, by
reason Of having no money, was almost
powerless. The committee then adjourned
