Which is somewhat strange in a

\ False CRY.

Concerning the completion of the
water supply there is no issue before
the people.
The plan Of supply is settled by the
lSe dtrd of two men and is too far gone
to be arrested.
The true issue is whether the people
approve Of stan chamber proceedings,
Ceasarean rule and punishment of Of
ticlals for betraying the unhealthy
proceedings of executive sessions.
The primaries have turned down
one-half Of the duo;, it is to be hoped
the general election will be a notice
TO the other half to prepare for political
death year hence.

is the true situation.
Mixed.

There is Il vail in the Cumberland
Ne,cs over the collapse of the tinplate
mill and the calamity is charged to a
cause located about five hundred thous-
and miles away from Cumberland on
Il road that leads somewhere else.
For there is IL gentleman right here
IN Frostburg who says, in effect, that
nmaking and money-maklng are
synonymous terms that in free trade
Wales everybody interested in tin
manufacture lives like a prince, except,
perhaps, the men tch0 do tie ,ro,6.
In the face of the threatened reduc-
ton in the tariff, and in the face of
the collapsed short while ago re-
ported by the Netcs itself as item
polary,' this gentleman is working to
organize company here to plate tin.
On the tin, as on the coal question,
therefore. some re adjustment of con-
slstencies in the Ne~S Is imperatiYely
demanded by rlieAtelc. each of whom

with which the Nem Dominion SAYS:
While neighboring towns are almost CON

then an imported one, The general opinion
Is that we are indebted to our water supply
for this state of affairs

the physicians would dissent from "the

Puzzled.

Strange news comes from New York.
The knights of Labor have taken
sides with the garment manufacturers
in their fight against the striking
cutters
The first thought is-the manufac
turers, for once, must be wrong
And the strikers right.
Forbid the thought.
And yet it must be so.
The occurrence places the JOURNAL
IN its most perplexing predicament
since the day it resolved to contest all
the piratical reforms that sail along
under the flag Of labor.
The JOURNAL will wait until it sees
which side Schonfarber espouses.
Then adopt the other.

UnhaDpy Citation.

The Le1yer'S incompetency as Il de-
batter of public matters was never
made more conspicuous than by its
assumption that "o,l and gas" are as
plentiful under our feet as water.
1t points to the remains of a dead
effort in the Narrows to strike oil or
gas and holds up the spectre as cyl
dence profound that there is nothing
Of the kind there.
When the fact Is, 50 far as anybody
knows, the Narrows we'll may be with
in twenty feet Of being IA gusher.
That people Got tired Of pouring
their money down rat-holc is no
proof whatever that the rats are away
from home
But as to water,
Under modern methods of deep
boring and dynamite explosions IN the
bowels Of the earth, 90 per- rant. of deep
wells are prolific flowers.

To the MINING JOURNAL
DO you think it would be out of
place at this time to call the attention
OF the County Commissioners to a
great and serious wrong?
OF late years it has been the custom
to grant valuable rignts to any set of
men calling themselves Il corporation
Crying them almost out and out val
liable county property without COM
peusatlOn.
Now, as | understand it, the county
roads have been graded and built at
an immense cost TO the people of Al
legany county for the purpose of
county roads, and the use of the
people, and we are now told that the
power has been given certain set of
men to build the Electric road from
Cumberland to We>ternport, without
having heard anyone who might have
been opposed to the scheme.
AS to the right of the Commits
sioners to give the privilege we must
leave that to the lawyers to bicker
about, but we plain country folks who
have horses to drive and ride and
break do NOT tbiuk If m,nnnr that
these RIGHTS should he oranind and
our roads torn m and drstrovrd for
many of us without giving us 4 chance
to protest against it.

Abraham Lincoln once said:
The people of these United States are the
righuul masters of both Congress and Courts.
But if Mr.. Lincoln had lately lived
III Frostburg, Allegany county, he
would have found out
|, That the Town Council disagrees
with him as to the sovereignty of the
people over legislation, and
,, That until the Avi,ett ease was
decided, certain Cumberland folks
held that the Courts are above popular
criticism.
The latter error has been RELOCATED
to the way behind :" the former is on
praying grounds and pleading terms,
but it, too, will go Monday into Job

veritable "All Fools Day" of the

\ Dead Caesar.

There was an immense amount of
extra editorial work done to save the
expiring half Of the Water Committee
to the service of his home, his country
and the Australian system of handling
tireclay water.
But all to sad avail.
Letters smelling strongly Of Le,lge,
office air were written to the Ledge,
commencing the unquestionably able
financlering courage and outspoken
determination of the Committee to
spend the peoples money.
Bills were printed calling the masses
to an open-air meeting in Grand Army
hall to make one last gasp for the
pump.
About thirty-six fierce sutfragans
met accordingly and the Committee
was unanimously endorsed by exactly
one fourth Of the crowd.
