Some Loud Laughing.

The Frostburg fremen are doing
some uproarious laughing at their
Cumberland brethren and the Cum
derland Meas.
After the Cumberland people lost
the convention for next year, it turned
out that, after all, they didn't want it,
never went for it and wouldn't have
it if brought to them on tray gold
lined and silver-plated.
The Neocs account yesterday morn
ing led its readers to infer that there
was nobody in the parade from this
county but the Cumberland firemen
and the concert band. There were,
however, as many from Frostburg as
from Cumberland, and over 10 from
Homecoming. The boys report, too,
that there were a number of bands in
line excelling the concert band, the
number including the Arion. They
also say that the spectators showed no
Partially for Cumberland in or out of
the line of march.
The following statement in the Meas
also calls for attention:
There were 81 votes present in the conven-
ton. OF these Cumberland received 10, and
Frostburg 40. Just how forty and forty-nine
make eighty-one is a matter which will be
left to President McSherry and his secretary,
a fellow of the name of Crimmins, etc.
Chief Spates says There were IS
organizations present with 5 votes
each, making 80 in all. Frostburg 10 ::
Cumberland 40; president not voting,
|. See -
The JOURNAL thinks, however, there
should be little or no quarreling over
these matters. The fact that the con-
vention is coming to the county should
be satisfactory to all, and all should
turn in at once and prepare for it,
The representative of Frostburg in
the convention were Messrs. Frank
Spates, Joseph Bear, Alfred Jeffries,
c. H. Hamil and George Lammert.

There has been an increase over last week
in the amount of coal reaching tidewater
This comes from various sources, not the
least important of which are the small in
dlvldual MINES whose aggregate tonnage
amounts to a considerable quantity.
1t is still very difficult to get coal to the
shipping ports over the line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. Over the Baltimore and Ohio
not much trouble is experienced.
We learn that the coal which was recently
seized by the railroads is being billed at in
creased prices.

TRADE JOURNALS ON BUSINESS
REVIVAL,

Ihe american Banker, New York,
thlnks business is reviving; it says rail-
road earnings are distinctly improving,
ana the banks are extending their loans.
10 the passage of the Wilson bill it at
tributes these results, because it removed
disturbing influence and discouraging
business factor.
The Grocer. st, Louis, takes the same
view Of the business situation, and at
tributes the Improvement to the same
cause. The Age Of Steel, st. Louis, makes
similar statements, and points out proofs
OF trade revival. The FFnaacier, New
York, cites the renewal of stock specula-
| ton as sure index to restoration of con-
| hdence, because of the passage of the
tariff bill. The Dry Goods Chronicle sees
! clearly that a turn in the trade tide has
been made.
The Anaeffcdn Wool and Cotton Re
porter, Boston, believes that there will be
a moderately fair season of trade this fall,
because stocks are low and the distribu-
tors have commenced to make call for
supplies. The Record and Guide build
ing trades) New York, finds conditions
changing for the better. Even in in
stances where there is no improvement
there is not retrogression. To natural
causes, and not the Wilson bill, it at
tributes these results.
The lNanatdcturerS' Record, New York.
hnds good sign in increased net earn
ings of Southern railroads, and in SO per
cent. swelling of bank clearances for
August, compared with the same months
clearings in 1898. The Shoe and Leather
Reporter, Boston, observes marked i'm
provement in demands for goods and in
! sharper competition.
The Tobacco Journal, New York, SAYS
the country will have to make the best of
| the new situation, and believes it is ad-
justing itself to it satisfactorily. The
Vine and SPIRIT Circular, New York,
notes but little change as yet, but believes
the situation hopeful. The Shoe and
Leather Gazette, st. Louis, observes a
daily and gratifying Improvement, and
an advancing market promising.
The Financial Chronicle New York,
says "the outlook is full of promise, and
no doubt gradual, healthy development
of our industries may be safely antici-
pated during the coming weeks and
months"
The record-union., 1894-10-25

A SAN FRANCISCO journal remarks that
the streets of that city are now to be
cleaned by contract with the Merchants
Association. But as it is to be done by
hand-the best way-the price for the task
is based on the machine cost. and hence
the association has to pass the hat and
collect $4,000 in charity to enable it to
take the job. That is very fine speci-
men of mismanaged municipal admins
tration. Why base the cost on the least
effective and desirable system of clean
ing? Why not have taken bids on the
basis of hand-sweeping, and thus have
avoided putting the city on the beggar' $
list? 1t is sad commentary on political
inefficiency in metropolitan centers to do
a business job as well aud wisely az priv
ate business interests would do it.
The record-union., 1894-10-25

II is amazing that so staid and infiu-
ential a journal as the F'ortaightly ReUtea0
and that other, the NeW ReUieaC, should
have catered to their treasures so far as
to admit to their pages three leading
anarchists to preach the doctrines of
force. These men tell nothing new,
they are simply given opportunity to
spread abroad teachings of blood and
destruction, on the plea that law is force
and therefore it is right to employ force
in resistance to it, since Where there is
law there can be no perfect liberty to the
individual" These reviews gain only a
few pence in extra sales, by admitting
such Infamous pleas to their pages.
They do infinite harm by giving these
anarchists an enormously large audience,
that they could not otherwise reach.
Such publication is neither adding to the
sum OF human knwledge nor promoting
the search after the truth. The defense
OF bloodthirstiness is in no sense helpful
to humanity.
