Hall such state of affairs would have been
too astonishing for belief. But times have
changed since then. Dir. Edison says frankly
that his interest in the company is purely com
mercial and that if by any chance he should
be placed in position which would create
susnicion that he could use his public place
for his private gain, he would resign either
from his office or from the company. But that
might be too late. A public Official should Dc

The acuteness of the monetary stringency
in this country is newly and strlingly Illus
rated in the fact that such strong corpora
tions az the Ncw-York Central and the Penn
sylvanja railroads have found it necessary to
90 to London to negotiate loans in order to
s,,pply themselves with ready cash. The
former has become borrower there to the
extent of S5.OCO.OO0 and the latter has ar
ranged for a 100000 loan. In ordinary
times neither of these companies would have
had the slightest difficult in raising the money
right here in New-York Other railroads, in
Guiding the santa Fe, are also reported to be
looking for money in the same market. The
currency famine is likewise making itself felt
among the wage earners, who in some cases

They Pay Somebody.

?. E. Studebaker, vice president and
treasurer of the Studebaker manufac-
turing company, of Chicago, has issued
IL printed address to the employees
now out on a strike.
He expresses the opinion that few
men have been benefited by strikes.
Referring, first, to the great strike
ON the Chicago, Burlington d Quincy
railroad, in which the company lost
four millions and the strikers an in
calculable sum, he asks
Have you ever seen a statement of the
profit to anybody by that strike?
Next to Homestead-the loss of
wages, blood, husbands and fathers on
the one hand and money loss to the
Carnegie company on the other, "but,"
asks he
Have you seen a statement of profit made
by anyone out of that affair?
The Washington Post answers these
questions with great aptitude and
truth:
There is money in it for the schem ers and
charlatans who pose as the workingman's
friend i'll order to live upon his credulity
and so long as men can be fooled and victim.

Brief Answer.

The Baltimore Critic wants the
JOURNAL ITO state it's own position
anent the tax question.
Here Is compliance:
l., Assess all properties, visible and
invisible, near as possible to market
value.
,, Base the assessment of the visible
AMI invisible alike upon the oath of
the owner, and discover the invisible
in the same way.
3, If the assessment be deemed in
adequate by Board of Review, let
such Board amend accordingly, and if
Board discovers properties not re-
turned, enforce without leniency or
partiality the law against perjury,
and
1, By all means have the policy of
the law so fixed and the spirit of its
enforcement so administered that res
idents of Maryland will find that they
make nothing by investing their money
outside the State.
What is wanted all the way through
is an adequate, rather than what is call
ed an equal" assessment.
| The adequate assessment is more
likely to conform to both the letter
and spirit of the organic law than the
so-called equal valuations.
If the former plan makes the basis
higher, the hardship. if any, is more
than balanced by rate cor, espond-
ingly lower.
For it is the rate that most people
see; it is thevate they call high or low,
and it is the rate that invites or repels
| Investment.

Taxation.

LONACONING, MD, March ~, 1888.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Permit me to say through your val
liable paper that there is something
very strange in the way the late tax
convention held in Baltimore was aim
ing.
AS the JOURNAL justly said, there
was not a miner on the delegation
from this county, and in the interest
of taxpayers of this grade will make
a few remarks.
If by the home rule system it is in
tended that the basis of taxation is to
be formed by the few people who own
a great deal of property and assessed
for only a small amount, as now,
think that such plan should be OPP
posed by all honest citizens. Home
rule management of affairs is all right
if Il manage them myself )" but when
other persons rule the affairs of my
home for their own interests without
any regard to my welfare, (and am
afraid home rule taxation is of this or
der,) | then oppose home rule. Every
one in this county knows that those
having property worth from $500 to
$1,000, and they are the vast majority
OF the taxpayers, pay taxes on the full
value of their property, while those
worth from $50, 900 to 100000 are in
most cases, taxed FOR $40, 600 or $l5, 900,
and the latter class of PROPERTY owners
are the people, fear, who would con.
troll the mode of tax;.tion i'll case we

Why They Want a New County

Why They Want a New County.
BARTON, MD, March %, 1898.
To the MINING JOURNAL
My last letter made the man that is
writing from Cumberland and dating
his letters from this place angry, and
how he calls me names. You see |
know who he is and that hurts him.
Here is his letter and you can see that
| am ION to" him from his language
BARTON, MD, March II, 1868
Editor Rcriem-l have noticed communica-
ton in the copy of the Frostburg JOURNAL
and see where some jumplng-jack has come
to the conclusion that am from Cumberland.
Mr.. New County does not know what he
is talking about. If he were to see my hands
he would soon come to the conclusion that |
was miner and not Cumberland office
seeker. l don't live in Cumberland never
did, and never expect to. have no aspira-
tons for any county office, but whenever the
good old town Of Barton is incorporated, |
would like to be a member of its council. |
am too modest to accept the, position ofmayor;
| am surprised to see it in print.
did not expect an answer to my Ten
Strickland a good one it was-but "New
County" simply shows that my letter had
the desired effect on the new county howlers.
He gets off some silly talk about our peo-
Pile being ''teverish'' for new county, but
that amounts to as much as anything else he
says-nothing. Truly yours,
OBSERVER.
You see he does not say anything
about the JOURNAL and the Star in his
letter. He is trying to hide himself,
for he knows | am right in calling him
a Cumberland grab-all.
A gentleman from here was in Cum
berland short time ago and said he
heard Il man remark that 'Observer"
is still aspiring for his pet office, but
when the new county is formed
"Observer" will stand as poor a chance
for election as a republican in Rich
mond.
He says if | were to see his hands
that | would know he is a miner. |
saw his hand and pen in his first letter
and that is how | knew he liyes in
Cumberland, and that he is not a
miner. | heard him make political
speeches several times, so don't need
to see his hands.
His first sentence shows that he does
not like the JOURNAL because it is
publishing my letters, which are
burners to him. 1t is to get rid of his
kind that makes everybody III Barton
favor the NEW COUNTY.

Municipal individuality.

Every town has Its idiosyncrasy its con-
stitution, Its own code of morality. The
levity of some of the younger women in and
about Trantride was marked, and was per-
haps symptomatic of the choice spirit who
ruled The Slopes in that vicinity. The place
had also a more abiding defect; it drank
hard The staple conversation on the farms
around was on the useessness of saving
money; and smock-frocked arithmeticians,
leaning on their ploughs or hoes, would
enter into calculations great nicely to prove
that parish relief was a fuller provision for
man in his old age than any which could
result from savings out of their wages during
a whole lfetime.-Thou,as Hardy
Those are the very fellows who would
have made first class Water COM
mltteemen.
For they are they who can prove
that there is more economy IN cheap
plant and costly running expenses
than in gice cersa

but it does the greatest and vainest
amount of heavy thinking, Cumber-
land not excepted, on or off 1.-THE

The JOURNAL seems to think that impure
water is the cause of sickness in Homecoming
Our physicians differ with the JOURNAL on
that point.-Lonaconing Reoiew.
Have "oul physicians" spoken
If so, why did they not tell exactly
what is the cause, if not the water9
And if the cause be durable, why
don't they cure it
If not, why don't they say it is in
curable9
And stop earning money serving a
"cause' they know to be lost9
These questions are asked-not to
impeach the ability or integrity of
medical practitioners, but to vindicate
the JOURNALS right to hold an I'M
scientific view when the scientists
themselves are not sure of their
premises.

Caution,

That $4,000 well proposition looked good
deal like an easy way of getting out of a fix.
1t is rather a high price for an unknown
quantity.-Ledger.

If so, how and when did he get in
it9
If the Ledger, however, does not refer
to Mr.. Michael, what sort of fix" were
those in who advised him not to SUBJ
nit a maximum bid, provided he had
minimum offer to make?
The JOURNAL, for one, did all in its
power to persuade Mr.. Michael that it
was useless to name figure beyond
the Water committees report of money
in hand.
The journalistic pump-handle of the
Water committee should not overwork
it's flatulent imagination.

Right Now.

In Northern Ohio judges Taft and
Kicks, Of the United States Circuit
Court, have issued orders which raise
the distinct issue whether the Master
Workman en- joys legal right to order
strikes and boycots, and Knights of
Labor have the right to quit work
without giving sufficient notice to en-
ployers.
Chief Arthur and Grandmaster Sar-
gent have been jointly sued by the
Aun Harbor railroad for ordering a
strike, and an injunction has been fol-
lowed by action looking to the arrest
for contempt of court of engineers and
firemen who have left their engines.
The result of the trial will probably
determine whether the railroads of
the country are to be carried on by
their responsible owners, or subjected
to the whimsical control of so-called
labor.
1t will also determine, most likely,
whether a secret order will have the
right and the power to decree stop
page next summer, not only regardless
of the privilege Of railroads to do all
the business they can. but of the con-
venience and necessities OF thousands
penned up in Chicago and otherwise
unable to go home.
Hence, as the questions have to be
decided sooner or later, noo is the
time.

Certainly II Is.


The Ledger retracts its question about
the fireplug at the Foulk fire, some
inadverter having inadvertently in
adverted concerning the inadyertence.
But the Ledger wont forgive the Fire
company unless it is told "why the
letter was not handed to it for publica-
ton"
And some fellow has answered that
somebody interested in the st.
Patrick's day turnout was too busy
and overlooked it,
The JOURNAL suspects the company
was afraid of first putting its manu-
script in the hands of what the
Cumberland Ners calls "the deadly
prentice"
Honor bright, boys-isn't that so?
Convicted Out of it's Own Mouth.
Cumberland is to have bran new court
house. but she is not proud. The yell that
will come from Frostburg however, is ex-
pected to be terrific, But, then, nothing else

This is unexpected cando,.
"Cumberland is to have bran new
court house," not the county.
This is exactly what the JOURNAL
has cOntended.
Now that it is fully, unquahfedly,
unreseryedly admitted, fellow-citizens
of the county, ought not Cumberland
to pay for ''the bran new courthouse"
she is going "to haye?'
If not, why should you pay for it?
Not Fireplug.
The Ledger asks a double jointed
question incidental to the Foulk fire:
1, Is it true that the fire chief gave twist
at the plug and called for hot water to thaw
it?
2, Is it true that someone told him to turn
it the other way and that when he did so it
came open?
The JOURNAL affirms that the latter
inquiry is based upon what is not true
and cannot be true.
The fireplugs are not built that way.
The Ledger may be twisted the wrong
way to produce desired results. but
not a fireplug.

the effect that the JOURNAL is "an
