The Military Situation.

The Cumberland Times, edited and
conducted by the enterprising and
sprightly Aviretts, both Colonies, says:
Now that the Senate has decided to put a
50-cent duty on coal III the tariff bill it will
report, it is in order for Col. John Chambers
and Brigader General J. B. Oder to explain
which of them has saved the nation.
The credit, if any, is due entirely to
the Times fellow Colonel
The Brigadier General JOURNAL is

only Observation-Disclosures mill
tary hero first, last and all the rest of
the time.
The Brig. Gen. JOURNAL Is in favor
only of the John Richie rate and
solidly against adopting the protection
rate of 80 cents per ton of lS72-unless
we can possibly do no better.
To carry the demonstration some
what further-the Office of Brigadier
General being about so per- cent. higher
than that of Colonel, the situation can
be naturally and finally fixed in the
following statement in proportions:
AS the rank of Colonel is to the rank of
Brigader General, so is the Coonel's rate of
so cents per ton to the Brigadier Generals
rate of IS cents.
This result has been reached by no
little strategy, but the 'lay of the
land" and the tactics of the dissenting
officers have unconsciously favored
the operations of the brigade.
The Brig. Gen. JOURNAL regrets
only the absence in these particular
maneuvres of the skilful and aggress-
i've retreats of that brilliant tactician,
Capt. Thomas F. McCardell.

his Frostburg subjects, its opposition
might be materially ameliorated.
But the most portentous proposal
originates with the Homecoming cores

The Alternative.

The JOURNAL knows what it is to be
the object of Irregular pity.

gaze of the sub boss more than once
and imagined how quickly he (the

he could.
1T has felt the air of the primary
grow chill with the DISTINGUISHING
temper of whipper snappers of recent
majority and old supes of alien birth.
But under our minority system of
choosing majority nominees it must
still be 50. Manhood and intellect
must still be relegated to the rear and
forced always at last to choose between
bossships and accept the supposed
lesser evil.

On the contrary, it is rather proud
to notice that its esteemed contem-

PUBLICATIONS.
Novelties in Ladies' SIX irts.

For quite a long time fashions have under
gone a slow change, practically remaining IN
a stationary state with slight notifications.
This season, however a decided change is
shown i'll skirts, in the way of draperes.
The old-time draped effects are more or less
revived with the addition of many pretty and
artistic touches in accordance with modern
taste, or with adaptations from historical
sources. The undersKirt, however, will re-
tain its present tlaring effect To many
people the announcement of tins coming
style is viewed with some apprehension, as
it implies much practical knowledge for the
making up of the new skirts. The best way,
however. to find the needed Information and
all the leading models OF the coming season,
is to subscribe to one or two fashion Journals.
The Mcdowell magazines, which always
maintain a high degree of excellence in this
respect, will perfectly fill the wants of every
one. We notice also that, for the further
accommodation of their customers, these
magazines contain, in the form OF coupons,
at an exceedingly moderate price, designs OF
new skirts, and other most novel styles
The patterns and paper models issued by the
house of Mcdowell & Co., are widely known
and Justly praised for their accuracy and
their artistic, as well as practical excellence.

CaIldOr.

CanuOr.
Does the Frostburg JOURNAL think a
Senator would be justified in neglecting his
duty in passing the best law possible because
the executive might veto bad law? That
il does is the inference from its question. Is
the JOURNAL always candid ?-Keyser CIV.
Va.) Echo.
The difference" is unfair.
The Echo assumed to set the Shep-
herdstown CIV. Va) Register right in
the following inquiry:
Don't you know that Senator Sherman did
not originate the so called silver purchase bill
and never favored it save as a measure to
prevent the passage of very much worse
measure which the democrats, with the as
sistance ola few silver republicans, woulc
have passed?
To test the accuracy of that statement
and not to impugn a Senator's sense OF
duty" the JOURNAL asked
how the very much worse measure"
even though it had been passed" by the
wicked democrats. could have become a law
without President Harrison signature?
Nothing whatever was said about a
Senator's duty" but the question,
which the Echo is manifestly unable to
answer, simply demonstrated the fact
that bad democratic measure could
not become a law without President
Harrison's approval.
But if it be still held that the JOUR-
sknonliI - yt-,ll no
"candid' now.
The President was pledged to veto
any free coinage bill that came to him,
and just before the Sherman Act
passed the Senate the House of Repre-
sentatives voted down free coinage
bill! And free coinage beng the

|, With the record against silver
already made by an administration re-
publican from stills 10 rafters, the party
in Congress we'll knew the silver States
were lost.
., The Sherman silver Act was,
therefore. the tub thrown to the whale
to secure indispensable silver votes for
the Mckinley tariff bill; for silver
electoral votes in 1892, and the general
purpose of holding the party in line
thereafter.
Passed and signed, the Act was con-

just as soon as it failed of its purposes.
Not only so, but it began to give its
authors and finishers trouble. 1t was
as much as they could do to postpone
the collapse and its collateral calam-
tiles to fall under the current regime.
But they succeeded. And then,
with sublime and unfaltering trust
in popular gullibility, the Echo and its
friends proceeded to show that the wolf
was right when he prored to the lamb
that muddied water flows upstream.

That School Question.

We are assured that there is positively no
truth in the intimation of the Frostburg
JOURNAL that the object of the new school
law is to enable certain trustees to get rid of
Objectionable teachers Cumberland Ne~S.
The man feature of the law appears to be
Of wholesome character.-Ibd.
Still
1t is but right and proper that those who
are entrusted with the management of school
affairs should be perfectly free to employ
whom they please at the end of each scholastic
year, and they ought not to be embarrassed
by the claim of any teacher to hold over
merely because he had been employed the
year before.-Hid.
1t was necessary to segregate the
above statement into three parts for
comparative purposes.
We learn, in the first place, by i'm
plication, that law enabling certain
trustees of public schools to get rid of
objectionable teachers is not sought.
Why not? Is not such a law, if we
do not have it, worth seeking?
Next we learn, by implication also,
that law which enables objectionable
teachers to hold on appears to be of
wholesome character
And then we ascertain, by implica-
ton, that chose who are entrusted
with the management of school affairs
should be perfectly free" to discharge
mobjectionable teachers, and that
such teachers ENJOY no inherent claim
for continuance based upon recent I'M
Objectionable service.
The bill has engaged but little of the
JOURNALS notice, but now that our
veracity has been measurably inn
peached, we are bound to affirm that the
defenses of the measure, as shown by
the Netrs comments, do not consist.
The JOURNAL believes the appoint
ing power should remain where it is
practically in the wisdom and discretion
of the School Commissioners.
The present proposal, apparently
based upon an exceptional instance of
partial dissatisfaction. necessarily en-
larges the ndirect power of the Com
missioners, enough of which they
already enjoy.
And the end will be, if successful,
the undeserved subsection of all teach
ers to an annual period of uncertainty
and the introduction of so much
anarchy into what ought to be an
o! derly, dignifed and symmetrical
, system.
