New County Comprehends All.

Some people are talking about re-
forming the system of district repre-.
sentation in political conventions.
And yet, if they should succeed, what
guarantee have they that this region
would get its rights7
AS long rs they are tied to Cumber-
land they will be ruled by Cumber-
land.
For as certain as the night follows
the day, if people are too weak kneed
to move for new county, the panacea
for all our ills, they are too weak kneed
to assert thei, rights under any other
auspices.
1t is shrewdly suspected, therefore,
that the Fair Play" representation
business is part of a scheme to allay
new county agitation, as we'll as dis
tract notice from the jury bill.
The Creek is to be put in the 20
sltlon of wanting it, at length of de-
manding it, and then, maybe, Cumber-
land will give it to the Creek.
Only maybe, because If new county
doesn't amount to anything. then Cum
berland will have things go just as
they are.
Advocates of the proposed scheme
of representation are advised, there
fore, that it is almost as easy to come
out strong for new county, which
will embody equitable representation,
fairly distributed jury service, and
inuumerable collateral and con-
sequential blessings.
If they are going to face the enemy
at all, let it be for something COM
mensm ate with the higher heroism
that looks to complete emancipation.

"A Lesson to be Learned.

The Baltimore Critic appears to think
that the knights of Labor have a
perfect right to cooperate with the
cholera scare in keeping people from
the Worlds Fair.
The JOURNAL did not and does not
dispute it.
What the JOURNAL commended for
was that the Pennsylvania railroad
company is doing the proper thing in
providing against having itself utilized
as an instrument of Inconvenience and
danger to its Worlds Fair patrons.
The Critic should learn that in all
questions involving rights those of
the public outweigh those of each and
all, especially of those who transact
public business under the restrictions
of dark-lantern oath, the aegis of the
Master Workman and the inspiration
of the Walking Delegate.

The Case Stated.

With some heat the Cumberland
Niece denies that it has admitted that
the republican manufacturers of New
England want the tariff taken off coal"
In doing so the Neaos escapes through
very small hole-so small that if the
tariff is distasteful subject it should
never refer to it again IN any connec-
ton whatever.
The JOURNAL made the point that the
Ne.es affected to see in every unfavor.
able condition an advance result" of
democratic ascendancy, notably the
export of gold and now and then "Nova
Scotia coal"
And that it attributes nothing bad
to the past ; in other words, so far as
the late republican policy is concerned
the expectation of gold is "causeless
effect"
The JOURNAL, of course, spoke of
both parties en- mascot policies, not
individuals-not until we get down to
coal, where we do not think it at all
necessary to draw the line between
New England and Georges Creek
democrats, because the News has never
distinctly charged the latter with being
free coal traders. 1t has INDUCED that
pastime only to the party as a whole.
Hence. the JOURNAL made the party
rs whole the umpire between the
republicans of New England and
Georges Creek.
The idea that the JOURNAL had for
gotten that there were democratic
manufacturers, therefore, has nothing
to do with the question. The repub-
lican party rules New England and it
rules Georges Creek. The one wants
free coal; the other does not want it.
The democratic party will sit in
judgment oyer both rulers.
Which will it favor9
That is the question-as it ought to
appear, looking from the Nescs' stand
point.
1t is the old scare under new con-
ditions.
With either a republican Senate or
President, sometimes both in the way,
Mr.. McComas used to make his follow
ers up here believe that there is no tell
ing what these wicked democrats will
do! They might pass bill the SEN
ate might also pass it, and the Pres
ident might sign it! But nobody
would be to blame for the lniquity-
except the democratic House.
So it is now. The old overworked
scare is still useful. Its next duty in
the republican cornfeld will be to
keep the democratic crows from com.
ing after the nubbin known as the
present jury law.

A Shameful Confession.

1t is most remarkable, not to say
scandalous admission for capitalists to
make for themselyes-that their bonds,
stocks, ETC., will, under cover of per-
jury, hide from taxation if. the inquisi-
torial method of assessment be adopt
ed.
1t is equally discreditable to the law
which we are all so solemnly enjoined
to respect, that it can reach every
species OF crime amenable to itself ex-
cept that which by sworn Justification
obtains its special protection by law
for nothing.
During the war men who shirked
performance of duty were called de-
serters, and sometimes shot for it.
Now, however, each holder of in
visible property, speaking apparently
for everybody but himself, affirms
that the law cannot be enforced, be-
cause it will be evaded by false swear
ing.
If the men who smake this sorry,
shallow, fimsy confession did but
realize it, their plea is nothing less
than an argument copyrighted by
anarchy and a contention patented by
the most destructive phase of social
ism.
Moreover. it is cowardly acknowl-
edgment-a degraded and degrading
self-attestation of wholesale corrupt
bllity.
If such declarations against the oper-
alive efficacy of inquisition were not
so frequently made we could not
credit them.
For generally man who will lie,
given chance, will steal, and q man
who will for gain swear to lie, given
an opportunity, will openly rob his
fellow-man.
And that is exactly what he does
when he leaves share of his taxes for
others to pay.
Not only so. Such declarations i'm
ply that high social standing is
cheat. commercial honor lie and that
mankind, in the light and under the
evolutions of a history SO centuries
old, is still groveling in the dust of
''original sin'-still a constituencies

estate q devotee at the heather altar
where the greenback ef1igy of the
auriferous image of the juvenile
Taurus still commands the willing
homage of the nations who profess
allegiance to a God otherwise for.
gotten, dishonored and repudiated!
Of all the excuses set up in oppo-
sition to the iEquisitorial method, our
own dishonesty our own peridy our

yeracity; our own infdelity to truth,
country and God, instead of the first,
should be the very last.

100000 i'll One Year.

"Frostburg," writing elsewhere,
pays the JOURNAL the very high COM
pliment of haying a considerable hand
in the rescue of the canal from a
foreign corporation, a result of which
an one year was to put into the pockets
of this region three hund,ea thousand
dollars!
Several statements are undeniable :.
l, That the JOURNAL was the first of
all Maryland institutions to see and
sound the alarm.
2, That its continual hammerinp at
the subject brought the big influences
INTO the fight and made the people of
this region solid phalanx of "aggress-
i've self-defenders."
3, And that this contest was made
with large element of both parties in
Cumberland against us-in that same
Cumberland that arrogates so much
claim upon this region for its support
as county-seat-in that same Cumber-
land that now and then so Indignantly
considers discussions of its liberality
to itself as calculated to create bad
feelings and arouse animosities, etc.
Miners of Eckhart, Pompey and
Frostburg especially-if Cumberland's
majority had prevailed in that fight
many of you would be bankrupt to-
day!

ing the great big end of your taxes,

are laughing at the new county pro-
posal as chimerical,

The press of this country should celebrate,
next year, the 2oOth anniversary of the
beginning of its freedom. 1t was then that
the iniqultous Star Chamber letters were
removed, and we have been free from that
time.
Make it national and have it in Cumber-
land, or in Baltimore, Md. If there is one
thing on the pages of history that deserves
that honor it is the date on which the press
was liberated, that the truth might set men
free. 1t is through free press that we have
been led out of Egypt and the House of
Bondage into this glorious liberty of the
nineteenth century.-Cumberland Cou1ier
If it is to be held in this county bring
it to Frostbnrg, for this is the place
where the most effective fight was made
to keep the most glorious palladium of
our civil rights from reinstatement.

In Deep Water.

To the Ledge,'s article on "Charity'
Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale wrote Tues
day clear, temperate, christian re-
ply, even giving the Ledger credit for
enthusiastically" making "a wrong
impression
The Leager's rejoinder, however,
must convince Mr.. Van Arsdale that
1t is useless to engage in a contro-
versy with a paper that confessedly
does not know the meaning of the
terms it uses, or how to put its wor Is
together, and aggravates its offense by
relteratlng under the guise of a dis
clalmer all 1t originally averred.
For instance, the Ledger says ex-
plicitly that there was no ''implied
thrust at missions"
Then why is there ''dange' X of
forgetting the needy nearer our own
doors ?"
Rather, what occasion was there for
the comparison if not to show disad-
vantage to the merits of missionary
charity7
Again-the Ledger denies that it ''for
moment considers the people
wanting in true charity"
Then tell us what this means:
If they were not charitable one church
could hardly contribute $500 to send across the
deep blue sea to heather lands.
If this be ''true charity" why did the
Ledger find fault with it?
If it is not ''t,.ue charity" why does
the Ledger now contend that it does
not
wish to be understood as saying that
christian people are wanting in charity?
The Ledger, as usual, is in hole-a
deep-water hole.
Outside the mot commonplace
topics it is far from home.
The discussion of even one of the
cardinal virtues is too much for it.
With the modern followers of Epicurus
1t holds, without knowing that it has
company, the notion that "all benev.
olence is human weakness, and that
whatever interchange of charity there
is extended from man to man, the
giver at last directs it straight toward
himself"
SO that it probably comes to this
that FIostburg charity" for the
heather is esteemed as lost benefcence,
perhaps because the heather, NOT read
ing the Ledger, cannot, like the home
product, know where the cheapest
clothing, dry goods and groceries are
constantly on hand and for sale-just as
cheap for cash as on credit.
The JOURNAL is not defending the
cause of missions.
1t has opinions of it's own on that
subject, and by those opinions it guides
only its own conduct.
1t appears, therefore, in this con,
troversy only to contend that benev-
client people have a perfect right to
give their o~n money to any supposedly
meritorious object whatever-near or
far, and that it is no outsiders business
to find fault with their motives, their
methods, or their mistakes.

Premature as Yet,

There is proposal abroad in Penn
sylvania to permit no man to vote at
the general election who has not
already voted at one of the next pre-
ceding primaries.
The idea is-that voter should OK
ercise his right to make nominees as
we'll as elect them.
In this county, however, no quail
fications are necessary until it is
arranged that minority factions shall
not rule.
With the majority of a party in
power in the party, then it will be we'll
to make the people come out and select
their nominees at the primaries so
they can vote their party principles at
the polls.

"NeyttOHead."

One of the objections urged by I'M
informed people against the inquisi-
torial method of ascertain,ng bases of
taxation is that it requires san army
of assessors" to do the work.
On the other hand, the chief claim
of the system is that it executes itself,
at least that it gets along with the
least possible number of clerical
officers.
In other words, it makes every man
his own assessor periodically under
oath.
And so long as personally is taxable
it is the plan nearest perfection.

About the Pronosed Well

A subscription list was passed around town
this week to raise funds to bring here an ex-
pert well-borer to prospect for water on

That is correct.
A few citizens, having the good of
that $4,000 at heart, haye put up money
enough to get fully the other side of
the case before the people.
If that other side is favorable, they
want the people to know it.
If 1t is not, they want a solid reason

You are a member of Gov. Browns

Note particularly every point in the
objections to the Hayes bill.
Collate them and you will have an

For If one sort of personally must
escape taxation ria the damning sin of
perjury, all ought to escape without it.

Not Exceptional,


Hon. Thomas N. Hodson, of the Eastern
Shore, is of the opinion that the only feasible
plan OF obtaining tax reform in this State is
for the people to elect an entirely different
Class of men to the Legislature. There is no
doubt of Mr.. Hodson having struck the kew.
note to the situation, but so long as two or
three men in Baltimore city are permitted to
name the entire Legislature six months in
advance, the difficulty of putting the remedy
into operation is simply insurmonntable.-
Cumberland News.
The trouble is not restricted to Balti-
more, nor to the party that rules Balti-
more.
Vide the AIlegany representatives
sent by the Ne'os' party to the House of
Delegates within ten years last past,
and then name one even approximately
capable of intelligently considering an
assessment bill.

Gratis put up men but little better.

Both the venerable Fair Play" and

ted as something original.

able "Fair Play" before the Journal

The Difference,

Schonfarber appears to think that
an editor cannot know what he is
writing about unless he lives in city.
Mr.. Plebian Poverty must live next
door to Mr.. Patrician Progress in order
to see and hear what's what.
Schonfarber says:
1t is really astonishing the number ofnews.
papers in the State which are anxious to
chronicle that the tax Convocation that is to
take place next week is failure While it
may not completely solve the problem of
taxation, it is dollars to doughnuts that the
people will know more about the assessment
question after it is all over than Is now dreamt
ofin the country editors philosophy.
The JOURNAL is not inclined to
depreciate the ability of the city
press on all questions.
But its reading of the county papers
of Maryland does not coincide in
conclusion with Schonfarber' discount
of rural journalism.
AS rule the country editor is less
tiippant, equally profound and more
sincere than his city brother.
In word, he really wishes to be use
full, while the latter vainly wants to
be smart.
