a novel Christmas present is offered
to its patrons bv the Baltimore Ne,cs.
This enterprising Journal is giving
away portfolios containing the views
of the Worlds Fair made for the
United States government. There are
l6 of these portfolios, each one con-
tanning 16 superb illustrations. The
ordinary method of getting these hand
some mementos of the Columbian Ex-
position is the presentation of seven
coupons cut from the columns of the
Neos of seven consecutive dates, and
10 cents in stamps or coin for each
Portfolio For the especial benefit of
country subscribers, the Ne,cs offers
during the coming week to give the
five Portfolios issued so far for the
ordinary set of seven coupons, three
extra coupons from the Sunday Ne,cs
and fifty cents. 1t is the chance of a
lifetime to secure these elegant views
at a nominal cost.

A Hint.

1t is rather amusing to see the JOURNAL
upholding the administration in its efforts to
take the tariff off of coal, and then read an
italicized paragraph in another column urg-
ing the people to sign petition which asks
Congress to retain the duty.-Ionaconlng Sta'
The Star is too easily tickled.
The JOURNAL has done two things
only:
l, 1t has shown how coal, especially
in this region, has suffered for being in
company with so many monstrositles
of tariff taxation, and
2, The suicidal character of the
policy of abusing and damnlng the
court that is to try the case between
our consumers and ourselves.
The JOURNAL has viewed the situa-
ton from a higher outlook than that
afforded by the office windows of the
Cumberland Ne,cs and Homecoming
Star.
1t has taken facts as they are, not as
they ought to be.
AS a result, intelligence comes to us
daily showing conclusively that the
thinking people of this region know
more truly where they stand than they
ever did before.
In conclusion-when the Star again
feels amused, let it reflect that by this
time it ought to know that defendant
has very poor snow in court that
he has impeached.

This is a Substitute.

The JOURNAL was surprised, not to
say startled Monday evening at the
vicious and vulgar tone with which the
Cumberland Times resented a few ref
erences last week to its new-found
antidote for free COAL ransporta-
ton"
The JOURNAL at once sat down and
put all its force into a reply that would
have made the Times feel 1t did not
know enough to get out Of the way
when it saw ,n elephant coming.
We are sincerely glad to state, there
fore, that since Wednesday we do not
feel that it would be just to publish it,
and it has been cancelled.
The occasion of this change of
prospectus was the publication that
afternoon of the following paragraph:
A mutual friend writes us that he hopes
JOURNAL and the Times will not be fractured
by differences upon tariff and transportation.
The JOURNAL has too much heart and BRAIN
we are sure. to misunderstood us in these
matters, 1t is an independent protective pa
per, with incidental tariff reform leanings.
The Times is democratic tariff reform paper
which has had protection leanings, but which,
thank God, has got out of the wilderness of
doubt and stands safe on the golden shore
with those who believe in a tariff for revenue
only. The JOURNAL still remains the most
original newspaper in America while the
Times, with no special claims to originality.
continues the best evening newspaper III the
State, with no advance in the price of SUBJ
scription. Selah.
The JOURNAL is an independent
labor that not only believes but knors-
l, That coal has enjoyed only incl
dental protection since 1872 =
., That it is still entitled to that pro-
lection under the terms of the Chicago
platform. and
3, That it is fragrant wrong to put
it on the free list when 80 per cent. of
other hitherto dutiable commodities
have only been reduced in rate.
Coal has other and, if possible, more
weighty claims to the little protection
it has enjoyed. These are involved in
the facts
l, That it is not a raw material =
,, That once used 1t is gone forever,
and
3, That the skill necessary to its de-
yelopment, with the attendant perils
to health, limb and life
All combine to make the claims of
miners to protection indisputable aud
ought to be irresistible.
These are the facts that should be
strongly elaborated by some impress
i've and influential authority and placed
| before Congress.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1893-12-23

The Frostburg JOURNAL, in effect, suggests
that those opposed to free trade would best
serve their interests by sitting in corner
with their fingers in their mouths saying
nothing, etc.--Cumberland NerS.
The JOURNAL begs pardon.
1t said, sin effect" that if ''monster
mass meetings" were underlain, or
animated, or compiexioned with party
feeling, they would be sure to show
that the professions, contentious and
protests of the meeting would be very
impolitic arguments to take into u
democratic court.
The JOURNAL is and has been in
favor of a dignified, quiet and earnest
plea to Congress to retain the current
duty on coal-a plea that will go from
the people without regard to party and
unaccompanied by indiscreet utter
ances.
1t is in favor of having that plea
presented by some man who is mas
ter of the subject-one who cannot be
ratified by the sophistries of a Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Reed.
That is the policy the JOURNAL ad
yocates.
The ancients discovered that Jupiter never
helped anyone who did not help himself, and
if we are to save anything from the wreck of
the democratic cyclone of 1892 it will be the
result Of persistent and vigorous effort
That is all right, but you don't need
any music, torchlight professions or
fireworks to give any party tone to
your invocations for Jupiterian aid in
this crisis.
You want to act like men enlighten
ed; you want to personate the role of
the moderns; in short, you want to
prefer a reasonable request in rea-
sonable way-to submit a business
claim in a business manner.

longer excuse you for multiplying an
ordinance you are pledged to enforce?
Don't you see that after compelling the
lot owner to fence his property, and
forcing him to pay more taxes on
1t for corporate protection because it is
fenced, that you extend not only all
the protection involved in the matter
to the owner Of the COW, but practical
ly you give that owner license for his
COW to break in any lot she can-to
destroy, in fact, all the protection you
theoretically accord to the owner of
the lot9
Under such circumstances, if ever
there was money Systematically gath

which is taken from the people to pay
for corporate protection

Can't Suppress Him.

Bishop Haygood, of the NJ. E.
Church, South, has decided, in effect,
that Rev. Sam p. Jones is not Meth
odist preacher and that he cannot
under the auspices of that church
move about irregularly as ian evan
gelist.' In other words, he cannot
''slosh around" as Zone that is sent"
as E. R. Johnston will have it.
Rev. Sam, however, not to be out
done, meets the Bishops decision by
assuming the first Methodistic minis
terial degree of "exhorter," an order
whose gift" may be exercised" wien
and wherever 1.-THE call" inspires.
This enables the church to save a
pretty point in discipline, and affords
Rev. Sam greater latitude than ever to
denounce the devil, whom he hates as
spontaneously and heartily as the
Keyser Echo despises what the Cum
berland Times doubtless esteems as the
evangelical doctrine of tariff reform.

4 Good Man Murdered.

Just after the JOURNAL was issued
last week intelligence reached the Of
flee of probably fatal injuries inflicted
upon Preston E. Haldeman, superin.
tendent of the Franklin coal company,
and few minutes yet later his death
was reported. 1t appears that Mr.
Haldemaa left his residence, the
Kenny House, Piedmont, W. Va, be-
tween and o'clock a. M, and draw
ing $2,947 from the Filst National
Bank of Piedmont, left CD passenger
train No. l, c. d P. R., for Franklin,
about two miles distant, intending to
pay the November wages for mining
then due. Arriving at Franklin he
stepped from the car into the darkness
and was struck on the back of his
head with some blunt instrument,
fracturing his skull. He carried the
money in basket which the assailant
easily secured 1t is thought the
robber was hid under the platform
previous to the arrival of the train.
Mr.. Haldeman recovered himself and
went into his office, where he was
found shortly afterward. He was
semi conscious for about an hour,
when he relapsed into insensibility,
from which he never rallied, dying at
the Kenny House, where he had been
removed at twenty minutes past y,
noon. A post mortem examination re-
vealed the fact that Mr.. Haldeman
had his skull crushed with a club.
Clothed blood pressing on the brain
caused death.
Mr.. Haldeman had been in charge
of the Franklin company's business in
this county for twelve years, and was
noted for the scrupulous fidelity with
which he executed his trust. TO those
whom he served, therefore, his loss is
one deeply deplored. He was rel
alive of H. Crawford Black, of Balti-
more, and Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, of
Cumberland, and these gentlemen lost
no time in setting on foot Il search for
the murderer. The receivers of the
company offered at once $3.50 reward
for the apprehension and conviction of
the william Mr.. Black added $3.50 and
Mr.. Lowndes $500, making 81 900 in
ALL Several detectives are at work,
but so far as the public knows, no clue
has been found.
The details and obvious purposes of
the crime have created Il profound
impression throughout the region.
That man of Mr.. Haldeman's quiet,
kind temperament should be thus dis
posed of is an offence against society
which the law should pursue unrelent-
ingly so long as hope of apprehension
remains.
The funeral took place Tuesday,
Mr.. Black having charge. After SER
vices at Piedmont the remains were
taken to Cumberland, where they were
inferred. a number of prominent
people, relatives and friends of the de-
ceased, attended both the exercises in
Piedmont and Cumberland.

Not Taken at the Flood.

"Col. W. P. Rend, Of Chicago, Ill.,"
says the Coal Trade Journal. "tells the
waiting public :"
Coal will not be any dearer because of the
cold snap, nor will the price be affected by
the admission of coal ON the free list in the
new tariff bill.
Then says the Journal
That ought to settle the question.
1t probably does settle for all coal
west of the Allegany mountains and
east of the Rockies.
But a reduced tariff on coal will
inevitably injure this region, while
free coal may practically shut it up.
The fact is, this region will be hurt
worse than any other under any re-
duction, for here, where the tariff has
been honestly and uniformly given to
labor, there is real loss to be felt.
In regions, however, where labor
has been getting actually about 80
cents per ton, the loss, if any, will not
be so appreclable.
AS matter of honest fact, therefore,
instead of taking any tariff from coal,
more should be put on.
And this should have been done
three years ago, when the tariff on
nearly everything else was given a
big lift.
Had that been done, we would not
have so far to fall now.

\ Blast at the Cows,

Last week we gave brief account
of a painful hurt inflicted upon a lady
by COW running at large-an animal
that should have been within the secure
enclosures of its owner or Of some pas
ture-fcld.
Or, if it be said the owner has no
enclosure, then the owner has no bus
mess with an animal he cannot care
for.
On the other hand. however, it is
held by a large body of the people
that the men whose duty it is to pro-
tect their property are those who own
their houses and lots. These, though
stationary and not poaching on the
domains of other people, must be en-
closed, so that other mems foragln
COWS may not trespass thereon or if
in the case Of Il vicious COW, may keep
the house-owner's wife and children
jailed until she gets out of sight.
The operation of this curious system
imposes heavy penalty upon the real
estate owner for owning q home, and
awards a license to the COW owner for
his COW TO trespaSs all she can.
1T goes further. a man may pay IS
for corporate protection of his 81 900
property, while the COW owner, pay
ing 10 cents for the protection of his
$50 COW, yet, as said before, the real
estate owner must add to his So an
average of 500 the first year for en-
closing his lot against the predatory
$50 COW.
Now, let us lump" the situation.
There are no less than 200 houses
and lots in Frostburg, and the reason
able average cost of enclosing lots
being 800, it has, therefore, cost the
people of this town one hundred md
t,centy thousand dollars to fence their
property against the depredations of
about 81, 200 worth of COWS.
Councilmen, is not the cart before
the horse in this matter! Don't you
owe it to the continual safety of prop
crty, sometimes Of life, to make youl
ordinance prohibitory OF COWS running
at large cover every hour Of the day
Don't you owe it to innocent people tc

of inability to secure pound will nc

An Assurance,

1t is pleasure to assure the Cumber-
land Times that the JOURNAL is in a
perfect state of journalistic beatifica-
ton and at this festive season is more
than ever considerable of the sensitive
ness Of all who may be more or less
distressed by the suspicion that under
adequate provocation the great paper
is that sort of an intellectual machine
gun that the Homecoming Star calls

Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1893-12-23
n Rank Injustice.

We protest against the JOURNALS persist
ence in combining the demand for free coal to
New England manufacturers. The mines of
British Columbia furnished nine tenths of
the coal imported into the United States last
year, none of which came in competition
with Maryland coal. This English coal goes
into the States of the northwest and the
Pacific slope, and it is from that section that
the strongest pressure for free coal is felt.
New England is conservative as well as
covetous. Let the tariff on textile fabrics
stand, and her manufacturers will pay the
tariff on coal with the best possible grace.
but when her protected industries are threat
ened, she joins the northwest in their clamor
for free coal. The whole trouble lies at the
door of those who are pledged to "dig up pro-
lection by the roots" and when the JOURNAL
hits one or the head it will be striking blow
for the protection ofour industries in the right
Observation-Disclosures NerS.
1t is not what was done last year
that concerns the JOURNAL so much as
what is going to be done next year,
and while the Neaos' statement of where
80 per cent. of foreign coal comes from
may be partially correct, it does not
follow that nine-tenths of the demand
emanates from Pacific coast.
Moreover, New England could be
absolved Of blame in the matter if the
tariff on coal had been raised when her
own protection was so vastly increased.
But she cannot be acquitted so long
as she is willing even to "Join the
northwest in the clamor for free coal"
For so long she is not patriotic, as she
would have the rest of the country to
be.
In this connection the JOURNAL does
not hesitate to say that placing coal on
the free list while only reducing the
tariff on 80 per cent. of other COM
modities hitherto dutiable, whether it
be ananswer to demand from any
where or not, is one of the rankest in
justices ever committed!
1t is so whether the party in power
be republican or democratic, or
whether the author of the bill be Will
liam B. Allison or William l.. Wilson.
