OVERDUE SHIPS.
A Whole Fleet or which There Ii
No News.

.
New YoRK, March I. Grim old ocean
Is still holding the secret of the nom
appearance CT q small feet OF ocean
steamships, oil overdue from four days
TO a fortnight, and the most experienced
and shrewdest men in the steamship
business are wondering when news
from the fleet will bereceived, and what
Its nature will be when it comes.
On the Maritime Exchange groups of
shipping men discussed the probable
fate of the big new freighter Naronic,
of the White Star line, which is now
overdue exactly two weeks, and won
dered If she has anything to do with the
delay in the arrival OF the National
liner Italy, and the St Enoch, which
Rre both overdue. and pass over the
same pathway as the Naronic.
The whereabouts of the Alsatia,
which left Gibralter Feb. ID, the Ap-
polio, from Antwerp Feb. II, and tie
Pomerian. from Glasgow, which is
Overdue three days. is also mystery.
OF all this feet the Naronic is the only
steamship fitted with twin screws and
considered by her builders to be almost
non-sinkable In consequence the chief
interest is centered in her and every
possible theory that the minds Of men
that spend their lives in the shipping
business can evolve has been advanced
/ and considered.
/ AliGucsses Are Possibilities,
but none seems to have any particular
weight with the maritime minds, and
the agents of the White Star line say
that they cannot account for her mys-
lterious delay and that her fate may
never be known. 1t has gone to that
at last, for while her agentssstill claim
to have hopes they readily admit their
fears.
i None of the overdue feet is as fast or
seaworthy as the Naronic. The Saint
Enoch is staunch vessel of 2.746 tons,
commanded by Captain Ogilvie. She
steams 90 knots an hour. and her delay
of four days is causing more comment
than the Italy, which is overdue here
six days.
May Have .secn Burned.
The Italy is one of the old timers, o

Glasgow in 1870, and has had almost a.

long career as are attributed to tht

manded by Captain Foote and has 4, l6'

and Sow. While either may hav

J the Naronic, the Italy or Saint Enocl
! may be delayed through stress Q
weather. The most generally consid
cred theory regarding the Naronic'
disappearance (for she has not bee
seen in 81 days. is that she ha
been burned The nature of her cargo
which consisted of tallow and OF mel
chandise generally of an infiammabl
nature. has led to this belief.

Thanks for This.

The proposition of our esteemed
friend, the High Lonesome Sachem of
Sang Run and Jarat Sing Maharajah
of Frostburg's JOURNAL, the venerable
J. Benson Oder, to the effect that
excessive Legislative protection will
eventually destroy the product in
tended to be protected, receives the
high and cordial endorsement of the
courtly and learned Eugene Calvarro,
of the New York World. While this
endorsement is needless and is really
gliding the lily and refining the rose, it
is gratifying as being evidence alike of
the truism that great minds think alike
and the triteness that in the realm of
men entlrel y great the quill is mightier
than the carving knife, yea even, or
than the scythe.-Cumberland Times.

BreyiticS,

The country between Pocahontas
and Sandpatch still maintains the old
fashioned smoke-house also the old
fashioned thief who breaks into it.
The Cumberland Times reports feat
of Harry Hudson, formerly of Cum
berland, at Fairmont, w. Va. Ii SAYS
that "oa wager of 81 against a gold
watch with Frank Flech, of Morgan
town, he climbed to the top of the new
bridge there, 100 Get in the clear" 1t
ought to be practicable now for the
grand jury of Marion county to indict
both Messrs. Hudson and Flech.
The picture of the leading citizen of
Pocahontas which will appear in the
JOURNAL erelong will undoubtedly be
inaccurate in a vital respect. 1t is
impossible to print with ink that is
black whiskers that are pink.

midsummer Novelties i'm Ladies' Hats
Plain or elaborate, a toilette can hardly be-
come success without an accompanying hat
which will harmonic and add to i. the indis-
pensable finishing touch. But the selection
OF the latter is Il problem of considerable
study, for one must bean IN mind the cir
cumstances for which a costume is intended
and accordingly choose the most appropriate
head-ge One must also consult the
possibilities of ones purse, and most i'm
portant of all, one is compelled to remain
meanwhile within the proper boundaries of
the latest styles. When we come to the latter
however what bewldering embarrassment
of riches confront us! For the choice NAV
extend from the plain tailor toque to the
complicated garden hat made of some sheer
material, in other words, it may include the
whole range of mllliners' creations delicate
tinted StraWS poems of lace and flowers or of
material similar to that Of the costume ,
tennis and yachting caps; Casino bonnets
and the infinite variety of bridal hats One
OF the characteristic features of the Mcdowell
fashion journals is that they generally re-
present "A hat of the latest fashion with each
costume, for the double purpose of giving
millinery novelties and of illustrating the
intimate relation between a toilet and the
headgear. The most popular of these
fashion magazines are La Mode de Paris,

mahef and La -Hode The former two cost
$3.50 each, year, or 80 cents copy.
The French Dressmaher is SO per annum, or

This Beats All.

But the operators know that if the tariff on
coal had been wholly protective that a
million tons of foreign coal would not have
come in during the year just closed. jour
NAL.
Just so. But what of the one million two
hundred thousand tons of soft coal exported
under the operation of the seventy five cent
tariff? As there was more coal exported than
imported the balance of trade was in our
favor, and the proof is established that
seventy-tve cents not only operates as pro-
lection to this industry, but creates kind of
reciprocity that rebounds to our benefit
Cum berland AeDs.
"Tell it not in Gath Publish it not
in the streets of Askalon ~
Think of retaliatory tariff promot-
ing expectation
And then imagine retaliation ending
in reciprocity!
Beats the Golden Rule by many
laps!
However, let us admit that the Neps
is intending that funny conclusion to
be an argument-will it tell us how
many more tons we would export if
the tariff were approximately recip-
rocal-say so cents ton7
Or, how many less?
We would really like to know why
Mr.. McComas did not give us more
tariff to stimulate expectation, or less
of it to do the same thing.
AS a matter of fact, the expectation
of coal has nothing to do with the case.
If the duty protects our coal, as is
claimed, the million tons would not
have come in.
But as it turns out at last that the
duty does not protect, we find that to
send out of the country two hundred
thousand tons net, we have to let a
million in.
Where is ''the balance of trade"
now
So that all the advantage the tariff
gave US in last years transactions was
that wages cleared $l40, 900 and govern
ment $750,0OO.
Had the tariff been really protective,
wages would have gotten 100000,
government nothing.
Miners can now see that they paid
$3.50, 200 taxes last year to the govern
ment under the existing style of pro-
lection without knowing it.

A Far-Fetched Objection.

The progressive people of Marion
county, w. Va, want to build new
courthouse in place of the present
mem orial of the Middle Ages.
Out among the hayseeds, however,
the project has aroused strong antag-
onism, to which, in several instances,
formal shape has been given in public
meetings, speeches, preambles, reso-
lutions, etc.
AT one of these gatherings the fifth
''resolve" adopted reads as follows:
We are unqualitedly opposed to contract
ing bonded debt our posterty may never
live to see discharged
This consideration for the welfare
of the generations unborn is as rare
as it is tender, as unreserved as it is
sweeping.
For the practice in these go-ahead
days is to forget that any are to take
up the burdens where we lay them
down. Or, if we think of the matter at
all, to consider that those for whom we
build should assume the liabilities as
we'll as the assets of their inheritance.
But imagine how dismal the spirit
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1893-07-29

of melancholy which must have moved
an assembly to lose faith all at once
in the predisposition of the human race
to reproduce itself, world without end
Or think of congregation of Jere-
miahs weeping over modern degener-
acy and through their tears viewing in
the wide prospect of future times--not
the dispersion, but the extinction of
the race.
Or, to go back further--let us adopt
for each of the promulgators of the
aforesaid resolution No. 5 Adam s
announcement concerning himself, as
reported by John Milton
In me all posterity stands cursed
Having put ourselves in the places
of the authors of No. 5 and its kindred
resolves, we can easily see that one of
two new conditions is possible-nay.
probable, if not inevitable
l, That bonded debt may become
perpetual, and
2, That "posterity" may be limited
to line somewhere this side of the
remotest generation.
This critique is, therefore, designed
to show that the careless, thoughtless,
or extravagant phraseology of declara-
tions against measures of public i'm
provement always betray the true
onimus of mossback hostility. With a
range of foresight bounded by the ends
of their noses, the "resoluters" can see
nothing even in an investment that i'm
mediately stimulates growth of the tax
able basis, and with affected solicitude
for the welfare of their children's chill
dren, they assume that all evolution in
the domain of economical development
has come to an end.
In short, like all obstructionists of
public improvement, they were hard
up for an argument-a situation which
forced the employment of desperate
hyperbolism and the indulgence of
headlong pessimism.
1t is our pleasure, therefore, as it is
our duty to inform the propaganda of
resolution No. and all their in
Vulnerable mossback sympathizers
throughout the country that no debt
can survive posterity, and that as the
Lord gave Canaan to Abram and his
seed forever, so does He constantly
confirm to His chosen ones here their
inalienable title to this lovely Gland of
promise"
And now, as then, the assurance
still holds that He twill make thy
seed as the dust of the EARTH" which
cannot be enumerated even by the
angels until the census of the Great
Day.

Stop Thief!
A WASHINGTON disnatch save

A Washington dispatch says:
For century the price of silyer has been req
ulated By the London MARKET In that market
silver was treated simply as a commodity
and its commercial value, or market price,
depended upon the demand and supply, the
same as in the case of any other commodity.
In letter written eight days ago
Hon. John Sherman says:
No doubt it is desirable to use both gold
and silver for coinage to the utmost extent
that will not demonetlze either of them.
Even if new ratio should be adopted,
unIees II has the sanction Of the chief European
po'oers, it will not prevent fuctuation in the
relative value of gold and silver.
We will not stop to ask-where is
the Chinese Wall but to indulge in
little history based on this irrefutable
statement:
This is the only great panic in the
United States that did not start inside the
country!
But those of 1887 and 1873 were for
the most part native and due to the
reactionary results of fictitious in
fiations occasioned by unstable me-
diums of exchange.
The current disturbance began in
India with a deadly assault upon pet
protege of American protection.
A financial panic, therefore, is the
collapse of boom.
Whether it be town or a country
that unduly stimulates growth and
forces development, the disastrous re-
suit is the same, differing only IN mag
nitude.
A town can no more overbuild itself
than a merchant can put on airs with
big stock of goods he cannot sell.
A country can no more prosper by
special legislation favoring a given
industry than our colleges can advance
the cause of education by making
dentists of all our young men.
Last falls election called halt on
the boom policy.
Hence, it is only the boomers, spec
ulators in meretricious values and the
Othel!os Of fictitious occupations who
mean only their own ungodly trades
when they say ''the country is
ruined !"

He Will Have High Protection
Company.


The Cumberland Neus believes
United States Senator Gibson, of this
State, maybe counted on to vote for
free coal" because the Baltimore
american reports him as saying:
the tariff will be lowered The principle
of protection to American industries will be
ignored because they do not require protec-
ton.
1t is more than likely "pretty
Charly" is not an accredited spokes-
man of Maryland senatorial sentiment.
Still, in free-trade shuttle with his
republican contemporaries from New
England he may be induced to betray
that product of his State which most
needs all the hlsbandry and considera-
ton which government can afford.
Charly is said to be vain of his fine
address and commanding physique.
Such men are susceptible to tlattery.
Hence, there is no telling what the
willy Gen. Felix Agnus said about him
to his face in order to draw from him
something congenial with the Ameri-
cans view of the attitude Maryla nd
democrats should hold toward coal.
But when Charly votes for free coal
he will do so alongside of every re-
publican senator north of the Potion &C
and north east of the Allegheny river.

Concerning that Fear.

The Cumberland Nems charges the
JOURNAL with twisting, squirming
and pervertlng."
1t says also the JOURNAL is "an ad-
mlrable dodger of direct issue.
The JOURNAL is satisfied that fair
minded readers of the two papers do
not so view the situation.
The JOURNAL has asked the News
question after question, but if it eyer
attempted a reply to one we have yet
to see it.
On the other hand, also, we have
quoted it freely, reviewed it exhaust
lively, criticised it in considerable
terms and answered its inquiries can
didlv and fully.
For instance, we will now quote the
Neaos and give an example of our
work:
The entire country is approaching con-
dition very nearly resembling national
demnition" through fear that the democracy
republic
can legislation"
What could be more reckless" than
for the Neaos to assume that the demo-
cratic party comprising at least half
1.-THE entire country" should be afraid
that it is going to do what it is going
to do, or fear that it will not do what
it is going to do?
Or what more perverse than a
minority to arrogate to itself the con-
celt that it is ''the entire country ?"
We will now ask few questions we
want the Ne,cs to answer:
Is "the entire country afraid the
democrats will repeal the Sherman
Act-the sop thrown to the silver
Senators in exchange for votes for the
Mckinley Act ?
Or is it afraid the democrats will ex-
ecute that Act as it was handed to
them by the last administration
Or if it is tariff changes "the entire
country is afraid of, by what token
shall we tell that one protective law
ought to be wiped out and another re-
main a? What insignia, for instance,
damns the silver miner and what badge
saves the coal digger?
Again-why is "the entire country
afraid the country will be ruined by
executing one protective Act and
again ruined by repeating another
protective Act?
Do these stars differ in glory? Or
is one sort of protection malefc, an
other benign9
However, we will come back and
ask the Meas again whether "the entire
country" fears the democrats will con-
tinue the execution of the Sherman
Act, or does it fear they will not repeal
that Act
If the former, who will be to blame
for the ruin of the Countrywide
authors or the executors of the Act?
If the latter, what possible right has
the Neaos to ask for the retention of
the tariff on coal?
