There is contingency current
which may eventuate in the elevation
of Capt. John Sheridan to the United
States Senate, representing West
Virginia.
In vast majority of respects the
captain would adorn the position.
He is a politician of the higher
grade-shrewd, yet straightout and
outspoken.
He would make emphatically a
business representative.
An amiable, companionable gentle
man, too. the people can get just as
close to him as "the boys"
Hence, the JOURNAL will be glad to
speak of him henceforth as "Senator
Sheridan"

New Train Service.

The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific

some important trains to their already
excellent service, and travellers en-
route to Denver, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs, or to Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Sioux Falls should note this fact

The Frostburg JOURNAL having returned
from the Words Fair, it will probably make
us its usual call the latter end of the week
and give some information concerning the
rumored combination with Roy McCardell

The stiletto concealed in that refined
thrust is "too local.
Whenever the Coordination" re-
ferred to is formed it will be no cal

with the capture of the State, hold

then, like Alexander, cry because the

and move too rapidly anyhow.

Comparative Figures.

In a table published by the Ledger it
is shown that the JOURNAL received
1888 for work the Ledger did for
$55.40.
Great stress seems to be laid upon
the Number Of times certain advertising
appeared in the Ledger, assuming that
the public does not discriminate be-
tween the character, composition and
makeup of the papers.
The Ledger appears to forget, too,
that whatever Council may have
thought of it as paper its members
and officers did not patronize it more
than the JOURNAL because it was
fright to do so. Had they been thus
actuated they would have given more
work to the paper that had more in
terest in the town and paid more
taxes.
The vital question at issue, then,
is-not one of circulation, number of
times, rates of charges, etc., but aohy
did Council give Sc per cent of its work
to the concern that pays only 10 per
cent. of the printing taxes
In another form-why did Council
think it right" to give only II per-
cent. of its work to the concern that
paid 81 per cent Of the printing taxes
When these two questions are an
swered by the old Councilmen-not
the Ledger, let us know the exact
reason why in their very last act they
gave the Ledger the exclusive publica-
tion-l00 per- cent.-of their most i'm
portant paper?
The JOURNAL wants it distinctly un-
derstood that it does not make these
points from any mercenary point of
view whatever. There is a principle
involved much higher than money
eonsiderations-a principle embodied
IN the answer to these questions
People, is it fright" for Council to
take your work and give it to the
paper that tiatters Council, and thus
punish the paper that does not reach
for its handkerchief every time a
Councilman sneezes?
Do you think it fright" that your
work should be given to paper that
is for Council right" for Council
wrong-especially when wrong?
However. the people have answered
we beg pardon for referring to the
distasteful event

Not So.


The Ledger says the editor of this
paper will not "renounce the devil of
mugwump journalism and all its
works." etc., "unless he is given an
office"
If this be true, the Ledger is able to
prove it by stating when, where and
what Office the editor hereof since 1884
said he wanted, or tried to get.
There must be some ground for the
Ledger's iteration of the JOURNALS
desire for Office.
If there is none, then the Ledger
must be lying, and lying, as the
Norwegian preacher said, "lak hale"
But--suppose the JOURNAL wanted
office ? Is it, in its case only, dis
honorable ambition
But what is the JOURNALS record?
Its name has been associated with
eight offices, three only of which 1t tried
to get, failing in one, succeeding in
the others. Three offices it filled the
allotted terms one it resigned, and
two it declined-the last two being
lucrative positions.
The JOURNAL challenges the produc-
ton of similar record in county or
State.
And, overlooking the malicious
'utterances of the wood-pulp sheet, it
knows that the fair-minded public
does not and will not institute a
quarantine against the great paper on
account of ofice-iteh.

Chunk OfWiSdOm,

Keep on ''brooding OYER a sorrow,
and you'll hatch it pretty soon. Breed
ing and brooding are brudders bred
in the bone; and from birth to burial,
they have been biting off the same
biscuit-borrowing sorrow from one
shop, blubbering and beily-aching
about one black eye that they might
get bye and bye. If a hen goes to
setting down and brooding over duck
eggs, she's bound to breed amphibious
children, and anxiety for herself. for
they are going in swimming, if there
is anything to get into
Brood over unhappened sorrows,
and you breed a lot of unhappy to-
morrows !-Cumberland Courier.

Another TrOuhle

The JOURNAL hardly knows what is
the matter at the Western Maryland
Home. The literature concerning the
troubles there is too voluminous to
publish, even read.
There appears to be an appropria-
ton involved, and that sort of thing
most generally raises a disturbance
down Extraordinarily.
The town, like the oyster, lives on
what drifts into its stumjack.
But, unlike the oyster, it doesn't seem
to have sense enough 10 keep still
about it.

Farewell EOluS!

many sections of the city for time.-Cum-

"A Case Wherein the Consumer Pays
the Tax Twice


The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that tho govern
ment must refund not less than eight
million dollars to certain importers of
silk trimmings on account of tariff
charge of so instead of 20 per cent.
Meanwhile, the importers had long
since sold the goods, charging and
collecting cost, tariff, and profit on
each.
The effect of the decision, therefore,
is to pay them back the second time
not less than eight million dollars-a
judgment thoroughly unjust.
For this reason-the wrong parties
are paid the right parties are not
reimbursed. The people who sold the
goods get what justice says belongs to
those who bought and wore them.
Iniquities like this are legally
possible only under system of high
grade indirect taxation.

False Alarm.


Randolph fixing thirteen years as the
minimum age for boys at work in the
mine has raised some discussion among
misinformed people.
The JOURNAL believes that rule of
similar effect has been a force at all the
mines of the Consolidation coal com
pany. but age varying from twelve to
fourteen years.
Mr.. Randolph's action has averaged
the difference and made the require
ment uniform.
Moreover, there is said to be law
in force in Pennsylvania fixing the
age at fourteen years. Mr.. Randolph
is, therefore, more liberal to the miners
who want their boys in the mines
than the Pennsylvania lawmakers.
The most remarkable utterance upon
the subject comes from the Cumber-
land Times, which, after commencing
some comments of the Homecoming
Reoie,c says:
But in the absence of law requiring that
all these boys be sent to school, and in the
absence of any provision for their support
while going to school, it becomes a question
as to how their bodies are to be nourished
while their brains are being fed.
We touch here upon dangerous ground.
The verge of socialistic state. For if the
State is to make the education of these boys
compulsory and Mr.. Randolph is to forbid
their employment in his mines, it is the duty
of the State to see to it that provision is made
for their support while getting this schooling,
and the way to make this provision is to i'm
pose a tax which will fall heavily upon Mr..
Randolph's company's land
Both the Regie,c and Mr.. Randolph are
treading on very thin ice when they advise
compulsory education without providing
means for supporting those to be educated,
for it is a notorious fact that at the wages
paid for mining compared with the cost of
living as it is, the lot of the miner of this re-
gion, who has to support his sons after twelve
years of age, is not an altogether happy one.
This argument begins and ends
with the presumption that the miners
are worse off than they are.
Those not able to take care of their
children until thirteen years of age
are few and most frequently unworthy
of the consideration implied.
For the vast majority, therefore,
the State need make no compulsory
l., h,
people, are looking to estates for their
children higher than their own. They
are moving upward pretty rapidly,
too. Education, polite culture, general
refinement, and the means of advance
ment along these lines are far ahead of
the social and ethical conditions of
twenty years ago. Miners boys of
that era are now teachers, doctors,
lawyers, preachers and priests, and
the contagion of aspiration and effort
to rise above the drudgery of toll grows
more and more marked every year.
1t is just possible, therefore, that
Mr.. Randolph's order, which, we re-
peat, is not a new one, has suggested
in some cases, promoted in others and
dricen boys in still others to seek a
Livelihood on higher, easier, more con.
genial levels.
But down in It's most mercenary
aspect, how can the Times alternatives
be matter of alarm here when law
has for some time made one of them
sine qua non elsewhere +?

A Realistic Picture of Her Majesty Quee

A Realistic Picture of Her Majesty Queen
Anne.
Those outside of palace may feel
Shakespeare's sentiment: ''There S
such divinity doth hedge king;" but
it is hardly possible to those inside.
One of the Scotch commissioners to
negotiate a union between Scotland
and England, Sir John Clerk, could not
have felt it during an official interview
with Queen Anne, of whom he gives
this realistic picture:
''Her majesty was laboring under a
fit of the govt, and in extreme pain and
agony, and on this occasion everything
about her was much in the same disor-
der as about the meanest of her sub
jects. Her face, which was red and
spotted, was rendered something
frightful by her negligent dress, and
the foot affected was tied up with a
quilts and some nasty bandages.
81 was much affected at this sight,
and the more when she had occasion
to mention her people of Scotland,
which she did frequently to the duke.
