Let Us All Have Fair PLAY,

The reason given by the Cumber-
land Ne'os for declining to publish a
letter from George NJ. Perdew, defend
ing himself from a criticism in its
columns, is sufficient only
because it reflects uniustly upon gentle.
men who had nothing whatever to do with
the communication to which he refers.
Here the Neos should have stopped.
After throttling Mr.. Perdew in
public it was not the fair thing to
kick him before the same great
audience.
"Hear me for my cause" is Mr.
Perdew's unimpeachable right.
Then let the public decide whether
he is person incapable by temperament
as well as by lack of moral force and the
elements of good breeding, to have charge Of
public school.
The Neos' course in this matter re
minds the JOURNAL somewhat of a
common incident initial to the late un,
pleasantness in this region. The mis-
sionary appealed to the popular sense
of freedom in nervous tones, pointing

Take It..

The Consolidation coal company ex-
tends
to all men who worked "a days or more
between May 18th and June Goth, 1894, and
to all others who entered the service of the
company on or before June Is. 1894, and
worked continuously Thereafter
rent free and coal free for the balance
of the season from July lst, 1894, to April list,
1895.
The miners whose services are thus
so substantially appreciated earned
the company's recognition by fidelity
in a "time which tried mems souls"
In the houses of some of them there
was for weeks funeral scene every
morning, the family not knowing
whether father, brother or husband
would return alive.
Yet they went to work, leaving dis
tress at home and Drawing the per-
suasion of the club en- route.
The company, interested in the con-
tinuing faithfulness of its employ ees,
does exactly the proper thing. TO
recognize the honor, loyalty and
courage of those who are reliable is
legitimate discrimination. Not to dis
tinguish them in some way is one of
the most grievous of all wrongs.
Every man entitled to the COM
pany's tender should take it. Let no
talk nor fear of "hard feelings" deter
HIM. Let him remember that there
was time when his own feelings"
were not only not respected, but over
awed, overridden and very nearly
overborne.
In time the company will get due
credit for its thoughtfulness, courtesy
and liberality, and the men will be
honored as those who, in trying time,
were true to those duties which mu-
tualize the interests of employer and
employee, true to their families, true to
their liberty and true even to their
religion.

M1N1NcS JOURNAL
:. b. ODER, Editor.
Fancies and Facts.

In support of the assertion that the demand
for free coal did not come from republican
representatives in Congress, the Ne,rs quoted
the speech of Senator German. To this the
JOURNAL answers that Mr.. German is not
good authority on the subject. This it states
editorially. On the same page, however, the
JOURNAL quotes nearly halfa column from
the speech of this gentleman whose authority
to speak upon the subject of the tariff on
coal it discredits in its official character. The
pen of the JOURNAL should keep closer
watch on the scissors. Cumberland Ne~s.
In quoting Mr.. German the JOUR-
NAL was moved by two purposes
/, To show that he is entitled to
a hearing when his contention agrees
with one the JOURNAL has been
maklng-that free coal has never been
a democratic doctrine, and
2, To allow him the same fairness
when he makes statement that is
historically untrue.
For instance, from the very same
clipping the JOURNAL took Mr.. Mills
assurance
that it was not his fault that coal and
iron were on the dutiable list IN his bill. He
had been compelled to compromise on these
matters in order to get his bill through.
But of this the News said
The JOURNALS quotation of Mr.. Mills re-
mark is faulty.
Hence, let us try the Neos by the
same method it tests the JOURNAL:
We call the attention of our esteemed
friend, the Frostburg JOURNAL, to the recent
tariff speech of Senator Arthur P. German.
The JOURNAL will find great deal in that
justly celebrated speech which sustains and
corroborates the Ne,rs in its statements as to
the attitude of the New England manufac-
turer upon the question of duty on coal.
From the same speech we take the
following:
deny the statement of the Senator from
New York that such doctrine (free coaD has
been a consistent democratic doctrine.
The question arising is-does THAT
justly celebrated speech" also "sus-
tain and corroborate the Neans in its
statements as to the attitude" of the
democratic party toward coal
If not, where was the Ne,cs' pen
when its scissors got across the dead
line which separates Mr.. Germans
history from Mr.. Germans questions
and answers-one of each of which is as
follows p
Who wants free coal? Not man, woman,
or child uses imported coal for domestic
purposes.
1t must he noticed also, therefore,
that while the Neaos and the JOURNAL
have been disputing about free coal as
the want of New England manufac-
turers, Mr.. German is careful to con-
fine the absence of that want to ''coal
for domestic purposes"
In brief, the Ne,os agrees with Mr..
German when he states fancies, the
JOURNAL only when he correctly
quotes history.

them often.
The bicycle race was disappointment, for
instead of five or six competitors, as was ex.
pected, there were but two-C. H. Young of
Meyersdale, and Charles Gross, of Frostburg,
the latter winning very easily.
The ball game began Immediately. Thomas
and Wilcox were in the points for Meyers
dale while Krieling and Williams otficiated
for Frostburg. Owing to an injury to his
hand Williams retired in the third inning
and Price took his place. Prices catching
and Kreiling's clever pitching did much to
win the game for the home club.
Thomas and Wilcox are a very clever
battery and did yeoman service for their
team. Their support after the fifth inning
was very poor. Williams, who has played
here several times, is a great short stop, but
Saturday was certainly an Oft day. Hoblitzell
played second base in great style and his
batting was excellent, making five out of the
seven hits credited to his team.
For Frostburg Donohue played a good
game at short stop, and Colemans play on
the initial bag was up to the top notch.
Hartman covered second base in good style,
and Gerlach hit the ball hard and often.
Krapf's catch in deep left field was a good
one and his two-base hit III the sixth inning
was timely one.
All in ALL the boys played a pretty game
and deserved the good patronage accorded
them.

Frostburg will play the return game

Sticking to its Errors.


The Frostburg JOURNAL will please under
stand that we still insist that Mr.. Mills never
got his bill through, although the House
may have passed it under the spur of the
party lash.-Cum berland News.
Two weeks ago the News distinctly
declared that ga democratic House re-
fused to adopt" Mr.. Mills bill.
At the same time the JOURNAL
.proced that the House did pass Mr..
Mills bill.
If the Nescs now desires to be under
stood that it ''insists that Mr.. Mills
never got his bill through" some other
body, it must re-write and re-publish
sentence which, rigidly construed,
conveys the intelligence that not only
the bill but in some special manner
also "a democratic House refused to
adopt a tariff of IS cents ton on
COAL"
Here is a clincher:
Perhaps the JOURNAL can explain why a
democratic House voted to retain the tariff of
seventy FIVE cents ton on coal in 1888, but
refused to give that product any tariff pro-
lection at all in 1894. What caused such a
marvellous change of democratic sentiment
in six years?
The JOURNAL believes it can do this
completely if the Neeos will first ex-
plain how the Senate Committee on
Finance in 1888 underwent a similar
marvellous change" inside Of "six"
days.
