The NORTHWESTERN was organized
I'm 1858 as a purely mutual life insurance
company; mutual IN the truest and best
sense. It's present assets are $50, 100000.
Its total amount OF insurance now at
risk. over S32J,OOO0OO. Its total surplus,
over S11 ,OOOOOO
The company is issuing all approved
forms OF Life, Endowment, Instdiment,
and Life with Investment Policies, in
GLIDING Semi-rontine.
The Northwestern has for many years
paid, and still continues to pay larger
dividends 10 its individual pOlicy-hOlders
THAN ANY OTHER COMPANY IN
THE WORLD. 1t Is the only company
that has in recent years printed tables
of current cash dividends for the infor-
nation Of the public. THE COMPANY
HAS DONE THIS FOR TWENTY
THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS.
The Northwestern is the only company

ANNUAL STATEMENTS SHOWING
HOW SURPLUS IS PROGRESSING.
The Northwestern confines its business
strictly 20 the healthy portions Of the
United States, thereby not only assur-
ing lower mortality, but enabling the
company 10 maintain closer and obviously
safer relations with its agencies and their
business.
The NorthWestern's assets are so invest
ed as to meet tne approval Of all State
Insurance Departments. It's charter
does not permit the owning Of. or ioaning
upon, 1uctuating securities Of any char
acter whatever. During 1873, railroad
property valued at one and quarter
billions went into receivers hands. Its
last annual statement showed a fact IN
precedented among other life insurance
companies, that 9S per cent OF the COM
pany's entire Reserve" Is invested IN
first mortgage bonds.
For years the cOmpany's percentage
of income remaining for investment"
after deductng expenses, losses, endOW-
ments, dividends. and all disbursements,
has been larger than that OF any other
Of the ten leading companies. In 1871,
1902 and 1893 the company paid divi-

and justified the belief that whatever
the results under such policies may he

larger surplus returns for the premiums
paid than any other form OF life or in

company.
The above strong points have made
the Northwestern the most popular COM

ers, vast army Of intelligent men, ready
and willing at all times 10 speak well

In reply to the assertion of the Ne~s that a
good democrat wants tariff reform without
any faint or suspicion of protection about it,
the JOURNAL says:
Such an one is not tariff reformer. He
Is an impossible being, living in an impos-
sible country, under impossible conditions,
upon impossible sustenance.
The democratic woods is just now full of
such impossible beings" ana they have
succeeded pretty well in placing the country
under impossible conditions" and have
caused thousands of people to attempt life
upon impossible sustenance.' And they
call themselves tariff retOrmerS in bold face
type.-Cumberland Ne@S.
AS to the matter of success-that is
about the difference between the re-
lation Of the historian and the prophet.
The former draws no lessons but
from the known the prophet from the
unknown.
The true tariff reformer sees in cur
rent distresses the logical, inevitable
reaction of laws still in force.
The political prophet, like all dream
ers, reasons backwards from the I'M
accomplished. He sees the shadow
before the substance exists.
Hence, what the impossible beings"
have done, rs construed by the Neeos,
is a matter of opinion, with all the
facts on the JOURNALS side and all the
cartbefore-the horse phantasmngoria of
protective preteXts on the Neacs'.
The community or the country that
busts its suspenders by attempts to
lift itself by the bootstraps into pros
perity cannot nationally blame the
calamity upon policy which proposes
to stop such lifting.

Attend to This at Once.

The Piedmont CIV. Va.) correspon-
dent of the Cumberland Neus calls at
tentlOn to movement that cannot be
investigated too soon. He writes:
There has been some quiet action to change
the boundary line of Allegany and Garrett
counties The proposed new line is making
the west side of Georges creek the eastern
boundary line of Garrett county. AT present
it begins at the mouth of Savage river, near
Bloomington. This would be material
advantage to Garrett county in the taxable
basis of the latter. 1t would add to Garrett
county large number of coal mines, part
of the towns of Westernport, Barton, Iona
coming and the Piedmont pulp and paper
Company's valuable plants. 1t will behoove
the people of Allegany county to counterfeit
this influence before it is too late PROMPT
action will be necessary.

SEMI-LOCAL NEWS.
An Endorsement.

The name Of Mr.. Julian J. Alexander,
president of the Georges Creek coal and iron
company, is prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the republican nomination for
the judgeship of the new court of Baltimore
city created by an act Of the last Legislature.
The election of Mr.. Alexander to any posi-
ton would greatly please large number of
people of Allegany county.-Cumberland
NcmS.
A strong man, reputable citizen, a
scholar in law and jurist in tempera-
ment, Mr.. Alexander is exactly fitted
for the position in whose connection
he is mentioned.
The JOURNAL, both as Il paper and
individual, begs. therefore, to be
classed among the Large number of
whom the Neecs speaks.

lumber, wool" and other commodities
whose growth can be stimulated and
developed by cultivation.
1t hangs to this sort of classification
like grim death to its Senegambian vic
tim, going even so far at one time to
associate it with "collars and cuffs"
The trouble about this strange predilec-
ton for grouping and harmonizing
incongruities is-that the counterfeit
tariff reformers do the same thing.
They make no distinction between the
utterly consumable and the everlast-
lngly reproducible.
Hence, it so happens that "the true
tariff reformer," like ''the JOURNAL,
has gone into camp by himself" In
other words, he goes where coal is-an
article which, for many good reasons,
should not be named in the same
dutiable breath with any other com
modify under the sun.

TOWN AND VICINITY
Give the peODle Light All Nigh

Give the People Light All Night.
The proposal to light the streets all
night is one that should have been
adopted long ago-the first half of the
night for the pleasure and convenience
of the thing, and the last half for
protection.
1t is for these things, especially pro-
lection, that taxes are levied and col
lected by the authorities and raid by
the people.
The JOURNAL is aware that there is
a notion abroad among latter-day
economists that taxes are imposed
merely for the purpose of paying the
costs of collection and disbursement.
But this is not the case.
Taxes are levied primarily, as before
intimated, for the protection of life
and property; secondarily, for the
pleasure and convenience of the
people.
Frostburg has been enjoying the
subordinate benefits thus accruing to
its outlay, and doing without the main
thing. 1t burns its lights for the
promenaders and puts them out for
the burglars.
1t is well known, too, that night
police service is wholly inadequate to
the needs of this town. 1t is simply
impossible for one man to patrol this
place properly.
But give US light when above all
other hours we need light, patroling
can be simplifed, facilitated and
minimized.

Fatal HeiDlcSSnc IS.

The JOURNAL says 1.-THE true tariff reformcr
wants the tariff to be douby protective"
y y y "In the case of coal he wants 70 cents
per ton levied on COAL etc. 1t is needless to
say that the JOURNAL is the only tariff reformer
IN the country holding such views. If we
are not mistaken the tariff reformers placed
coal, lumber and wool on the free list, and
instead of desiring double protection for
these products they have struck down every
proposition to give them so much a. Incl
dental protection. The Journal has evident
ly gone into camp by itself.-Cumberland
Ne~S.
The JOURNAL has almost lost hope
of ever getting the Netcs to withdraw
coal from the ignoble fellowship of
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1894-06-23

1t has been long believed by many
people that the exemption from duty
allowed on ''foreign coal imported for
use on coastwise vessels has not only
been too literally construed by the
customs officials, but has been made
wide inlet for the actual smuggling of
immense amounts Of that article.
A United States court having de-
clared that such exemption is legal
gives color to the opposite view, but
the case was carried up to the Supreme
Court, where it is now pending.
Meanwhile Acting Secretary Hamlin
informs collectors Of duties that mo
drawback can be allowed on such coal,
but no objection is perceived to the
acceptance by collectors of entries for
such drawback, when rendered. pro-
vided that the parties making the
duties shall file a stipulation to the
effect that such entries and all pro-
ceedings Hereunder shall be consider
ed null and void, should said decision
of the Circuit Court of Appeals be
reversed by the Supreme Court"
Is 1t not strange-and the JOURNAL
calls the attention of the Cumberland
Ne@S to the fact-that with coal in the
hands of its protection" friends so
many, many years, it was reserved to
free traders" to test the question
whether any foreign coal had any
right to come into this country
free of duty?
Let us suppose, in short, that the
Supreme Court declares that the
millions of tons of coal thus imported
was brought in illegally, what answer
can the Ne'cs' party make to the miners
for feigning protection and practising
free trade?
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1894-06-23
Not So Bad.

1t is not generally known that the
compromise" tariff bill, unlike the
Mckinley Act, imposes its duty of 40
cents per ton upon all fol eign coal
imported for any use or purpose.
Under the Mckinley Act the prin-
ciple of free trade applies to all foreign
coal really or ostensibly consigned to
the use of American coastwise vessels.
But, as said, the compromise" bill
taxes this coal just as it does that
which is billed to American factories
and railroads.
What the annual amount is of coal
thus brought in the JOURNAL is not
prepared to state, but it is large
enough to become matter of com
plant on the part of those whom it
affects-so much so that the legality
OF eXempting it, even under the Nc
kinley Act, is now an issue before the
United States Supreme Court.
If, therefore, the compromise" coal
item can get through Congress un
scathed, it will probably turn out that
the reduction of the duty to 10 cents
will not be SO harmful as has been
feared.
it will compel all foreign coal to pay
the duty, leaving no door open for
evasions, cheating the government,
smuggling and robbing home industry
of work.
All of which consummations are
blood kin and "deyoutly to be wished s.

Echoes from the SUSPENSION.

George Flanagan accosted William
Hartman last Saturday when the latter
was returning from work and a dis
pute ensued leading Hartman to draw
his gun. Flanagan ran; Hartman
followed far enough to claim the field
of battle, and returned home. Later
Flanagan came to town and lodged a
complaint against Hartman before
justice Dennison. The latter was
arrested and bai.ed in the sum of 500
to appear at the October term Of court.
The same day Sheriff King appre-
hended Michael Higgins and George
kreitzburg on complaint of John
Stambaugh. Each was bailed in the
sum of $500 for the October term of
court.
Three Of the women charged with
completely in the Frost mine trouble
were taken to Cumberland Wednes-
day and bailed for the October term.
A considerable number of Georges
Creek men appeared at Elk Garden
Thursday morning and, with a numbcr
OF local people, persuaded a large
force of miners to return home from
work.

IetISHaye Both,

The JOURNAL has been favored with
an invitation 'to participate with the
citizens Of Baltimore in the mass
meeting Monday, June %, to further
the project of a ship canal to connect
the Chesapeake and Delaware bays"
Fourteen years ago the JOURNAL
strongly advocated the promotion of
this enterprise in connection with the
extension of the Chesapeake and OHIO
canal beyond Washington to the
Chesapeake bay.
At that time it was deemed feasible
to load canal boats at Cumberland,
move them to and across the bay,
thence through the proposed ship
canal to the ocean and unload coal I'M
broken in the New York and New
England ports.
1t is 70 less feasible and no less
desirable now.
The Baltimore meeting should not
forget, therefore, to consider that the
States coal fields can be made u
feeder Of the ship canal assuring its
value beyond calculation and con-
troversy.
In connection with the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal. in which the State
has so much interest, the latter's status
as n Drnfita ble waterway will ha fiyad
forever.
Lastly-if we are to have foreign
coal admitted free of duty, as now
seems possible, the Chesapeake and
Ohio extension and the ship canal
afford the only guarantees that we
enjoy of meeting and beating com
petition in the markets of New Eng
land.

The INNINGS Situation.

Nearly 100 more men went to work
in the Consolidation coal company's
mines Monday than on Saturday.
Tuesday $50 men entered Eckhart,
Hoffman and Allegany mines-a CON
siderable increase over Monday.
Wednesday morning the laconic
statement was-''all three mines full"
OF "A persons for whom warrants
had been issued, the cases Of Is,
charged with unlawful assembly, were
heard by a Cumberland magistrate
Monday. OF these Z were bailed, and
) committed in default of bail. OF
the II persons 4 are married women.
Wednesday there were 2l7 men in
Eckhart; 2lO in Hoffman, and 81 in
Allegany-a gain all round of Is oyer
Tuesday. In Union there were ga
gain Of IA.
Thursday it was said all the Con-
solicitations working mines were full ;
Union 35-a gain of 3.
Practically unchanged yesterday
morning.
The JOURNAL has taken some pains
to ascertain impartially the exact
status of the situation as it existed
yesterday.
Company men say there is absolute
ly no ground for the report that there
is disagreement among them that
none of them will give 80 cents be-
cause none of them can give it. AS
to meeting the men they say that
there is nothing to discuss that all
they had to say was said at the March
conference. In short, it is 10 cents,
or no work.
On the other hand, the men who be-
lieve this to be the Wtimatum are
festive and uneasy; those who dis
credit it are apparently as determined
as ever to stay out, or as one told the
JOURNAL-''to outstay the soldiers"
These men say the companies ought to
meet them again, fol there are matters
to talk about which were only preached
at the March meeting. They go
further and declare there will be no
permanent settlement until there is q
meeting.
The reader can judge for himself,
therefore, that beth sides challenge a
test of endurance.
