A MisnOner.

The term, protection" ordinarily
presumes liability to external annoy
ance or danger.
We protect ourselves from flies and
from burglars.
In fact, we are constantly "protect-
ing" ourselves from things zoe do not
aoant.
On the other hand, political "pro-
tection," singular to state, protects
us from nearly everything zoe do soant.
Take the article of wool.
We want it in winter to "protect''
us from cold.
But government interposes tax
which initiates the value and depre-
ciates the quality of the cloth and
limits the ability of the consumer to
buy.
Government thus taxes his desire to
keep warm, and protects" him from
obtaining all the protection" he would
buy if he were ADLER to pay the cost of
running the machinery which both de-
pletes his purse and curtails his
liberty.
The misuse of that term, "protec-
tion," has grown into a crime of
national magnitude.

Before the undeniably able editor of
the Cumberland Neps concluded the
following observation he musiugly
moved reconsideration.
The happy result is seen in the
roundup of the following paragraph :
The Citizens National Bank of Frostburg
has received the proper authority from the
Comptroller of the Currency to commence
the banking business in the city of Frostburg,
and that place will soon have two banks as
well as two papers-we were about to say
great papers, but we reckon there is only
one of them.
Which shows that an editor, more
than all other men, wins when he
"thinks twice before he writes once"
1t is not the first time, however, that
McCardell has covered himself with
"great eclat."

publican system evolved from the uninhabit-
ed wilds of the two Virginias, while at the
same time it was bringing to the beautiful
valley of Georges creek the blessings of
wealth and prosperity.
How funny it all seems that this
lovely SYSTEM" with all its thrill
ing offspring, would have been lost to us
had not McComas' political life hung
in the scales that in that council of
high protectionists, Mr.. Allison, the
High Priest-that council which had
placed "coal, slack or culm' on the free
list-it should at last be determined,
for Mr.. McComas' sake, that free
coal republicans should submit a
while longer to "the system" which
twas bringing to the beautiful valley
of Georges Creek the blessings of
wealth and prosperity"
What an awfully sour piece of sweet
pickle that was!
Is it not amusing to think of Nc
Comas' political neck as the foundation
of system so benign in purpose and so
prolific of the very gifts of ParadiseP
But it is even so, and it is called
"the republican SYSTEM" at that!
However, to the ears of people up a
tree it Is probably one of the humors
of politics-somewhat like the follow
ing:
When a republican had dilated on
the advantages of the protective system
and asserted that the prosperity of the
country--our manufacturing interests,
the welfare of the workingmen, the
happiness of home and everything
else-were dependent on it, he sat down
with a manifestly triumphant sense of
having done his duty to the party.
Thereupon an old-fashioned demo-
crat arose. and said in the most solemn
tones:
In the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth
"Now, gentlemen" continued the
old man, ''let us have that statement
perfectly understood by all. Unless
we do right here, and now, the Cum
berland Neaos will claim that it all grew
up "under system of protection de-
vised by the republican partyn

The latest news from the New York
market is CLEANED as follows:
The soft coal market continues quiet and
shows practically the same features which
have characterized it for several weeks past.
The only new thing of interest to report of
the Atlantic seaboard trade is the fact that
several large contracts are now in the market ::
of these the most important are 100000 tons
for the Boston and Maine railroad and
1000 tons for the New York, New Haven
and Hartford There is also desirable order
from the Pacific Mills. The contracts have
not been awarded vet and last years con-
tractors are still supplying the above
mentioned companies.
There is lack of orders at lower ports,
but this has not induced any cutting ofprices.
At New York harbor shipping points there
seem to be orders enough to take care of all
the coal that comes. Those companies which
have openings in the West are still seeking
outlets for their product III that direction.
Cars have been in plentiful supply. Barges
at New York shipping ports have not been
quite so scarce as fortnight ago. but they
are not yet abundant.
Prices remain $3.50, f. o. b. Baltimore;
$40 Norfolk and Newport News, and 50 .55,
Philadelphia, for the best quality Of Goals;
poorer grades range down from these prices.
One of the man line roads has called atten-
ton to its enforced through rates to tide
water; from this it may be gathered that no
reduction need be looked for from those
quarters.-Engineering and Mining Journal.

Killed by Kindness,

A vice-president of a New York
Association for Improving the Condi
ton of the Poor, who is close student
of the problems which this organiza-
ton and others like it are continually
called upon to solve, says:
There is too much charity in New York,
| and the more l study the subject the surer l
am of what say.
The correspondent who reports the
above adds thereto:
The contention of this expert and others
who think with him is that too much charity
is an evil that increases the number of the
unemployed poor. Men are not allowed to
want here, so thousands flock in from the
surrounding country They crowd the
charities, lower wages and make living
harder all round.
The sense of independence and the
instinct of manliness are alike Slapped
out of people thus provided for.
Much of such philanthropy, there
fore, is not only wasted but made con-
tributory to the propagation and cul-
ture of false and eventually dangerous
notions.
The worst presumption man can
assimilate is that "the world owes him
living" Once ingrained, it will in
evitably make him a tramp, footpad,
thief, burglar, or walking delegate.
In considerable measure the modern
doctrine of "protection for projections
sake" conveys notions similarly err
roneous and instils into the people an
improper dependence upon their agent,
the government, instead of directly
upon themselves. Such people actual
ly contend that they can be liberal to
themselves by indirection, just as
whole communities in England during
the last century seriously argued
and invariably concluded that it was
more economical for people to live
on the parish than to work" That is,
that they could more cheaply and GER
tainly support themselves through a
charitable agency than Sin the sweat
OF their own faces"
And so it is to-day in another field
of economy. Thousands of manly men
are persuaded that, after all, they are
not free and independent people,
that the fruits of their toll, assured to
man since the fall, are unprotected
unless government benevoleutly keeps
him in more or less degree from ex-
changing it for goods he does not
make but must use.
To accomplish this government
makes special beneficiary of the iron
worker, for instance, to whom the
farmer must give more of this years
wheat for next seasons pillow than the
pillow is comparatively worth. Why 7
Because the iron-worker is one of
those essential parts of the industrial
machine for whose welfare an impair
tial government has constituted itself
a Special Providence. He is I'M
manned by the notion that, although a
skilled workman, his employment is
an incident of governmental favor for
his class, not an answer to his merit
nor an acknowledgment of his USE
fulness.
And the poor pack-horse of all trades,
the farmer, is fooled into the childish
ness of believing that whatever "pro-
tects" the protected" in some phe-
nomenal, illogical way also covers with
| its absurd wings the unprotected.

That Health Renort.


The report of the Board of Health
acknowledged it's incompleteness in
that some interments had been made
without permission.
That was all.
But when we consider that Health
Boards are not mere bureaus of disease
and death registry-not mere depart
ments of mortality statistics, it would
seem that reports covering only results
of probable sanitary neglect are
fundamentally incomplete.
The health officers duties involve
work preventative of disease, as we'll
as clerical exercise.
Hence, had it added to its mortality
statement some report of the present
sanitary condition of the town; how
many hog-pens had been abolished,
stables cleaned, and slaughter-houses
made tolerable how many alleys had
been drained of filth and private
premises fumigated, the people would
haye some Ineligible data showing
that the laws of health were not being
left to shift for themselves.
The report, therefore, only goes to
show that it is incomplete, not only in a
non-essential instance, but that it is an
unconscious confession that it is partly,
perhaps largely register of municipal
neglect of the things that promote our
good health and the towns reputation
as the most salubrious spot on the
alta-Alleghanies.

Let it Stay.

The Courier suggests that editors drop that
foolword i've" and use the bold and manly
pronoun, a." The Courier is probably
right But what does Shakespeare say OF
custom that doth make slaves of us ALL
| Cumberland Neus.
And sometimes fools of the majority
of us.
The JOURNAL thinks, however, that
the editorial 1--WE" is one of the neces-
sary and inseparable anomalies of
journalism.
1t is the outgrowth, perhaps, of the
impersonal character of the news
paper, and for which nobody is so
much accountable as the readers of
newspapers.
1t is the function of the reader to
attire his anonymous Mentor in a robe
of didactic authority often more i'm
pressive than that which clothes the
wisdom of Solomon. He prefers to
regard the unknown as a duality, a
trinity, or an indefinite plurality, and
chooses rather that the law of ethics
be expounded in consensus than as an
ipse dirit.
The abrogation of the editorial 1--WE"
is, therefore, inadvisable and uncalled-
for. Such step will depreciate the
value, destroy the influence and re-
duce the paper in popular estimation
to mere reflector of its owner or
editors explorations.
Let the time-honored 1--WE" then, re-
main to US.
Let us still be "many in one," not
one Of many.
Let us still be the mouthpieces of
popular exposition and opinion, not
puny cormorants of public favor, nor
eager beggars for our right, as indi-
viduals, to be heard.
The truth is, under a republican
form of government the big "I'' can
hardly exist. He cannot be tolerated
in republican, democratic, populist or
even prohibition circles. There are a
great many of him in all, it is tue. but
his measure and weight are rated low
down in proportion as his high class
bumptiousness rises.
The only close-ftting Office the big
II" ever performed within the JOUR-
NAILS observation is as the initial of
the distinctive term which sets the
great paper apart and above all papers.
1t appears in the following immortal
legend:
The JOURNAL is an Independent Paper!

Some people think it is more or less
risky to prophesy.
But it is mistake.
Prophecy is one of the easiest meth
DDS of lying extant.
What is better, the prophet, espec-
tally if he be an amateur, enjoys the
honor of getting along without reputa-
ton in his own or any other country.
For instance:
The talk about composite commissioners
ticket in this county will never amount to
anything more than talk.-Ledger.
Now, who can deny it
That prediction, which is really il
lustrious because so entirely new in
conception and shape, cannot be con-
tradicted.
History may affirm or deny, but his
tory has yet to be written.
1t seems most fortunate peculiar
ity which throws its winged protection
over the Ledger, as the busiest hen
gathereth her one chick under her
Ayers-that idiocrasy which enables it
to premise those undetermined things
which cannot presently be determined,
those indecisive things which cannot
at once be decided, and those in
disputable things which cannot i'm
mediately be disputed.
1t is negative gift of positive value
to some papers-that they can say
nothing that arouses discussion among
their readers.

Another Error Corrected.

The time has come when, as a matter of
fact, the one thing the people care about in a
newspaper is the news, all the news and
nothing but the news.-Cumberland Times
The Times is mistaken.
"The people" are not yet so unthink
ing and cosby.
Mr. Clarkson two years ago told his
party that the democrats through an
ADLER press had reached the ear of the
people.
Had democratic newspapers been
dedicated solely to "news," Mr.. Clark
son could have relied implicitly upon
the inferior editorial ability of the
republican press to carry republican
success.
And had "the campaign of educa-
ton" been superseded by mere demo
cratic newsgiving, foreign coal would
now be coming in freely under reel
procity instead of being in the Cum
berland NeDs Office a night blooming
hob-goblin of threatened free trade.
When the news" has been read,
therefore, hastily to be forgotten, the
papers judgments are taken up and
assimilated with digestive leisure.
If these be suggestive of thought or
worthy of memory, they are valued
accordingly.
"The people" like discussion, too,
and glory in being partisans where
plucky antagonists are in the ring.
