Autumn Wraps for Ladies.

What promises to be the favorite Autumn
wrap is a double cape of cloth very broad and
reaching to the waist The trimming is an
inch band of the cloth stitched on the edges
with fanciful ornaments in the corners and a
turned over collar of velvet. This, together
with the golf cape, are the most general and
stylish outside garments for wearing with
Autumn dresses. Very full capes reaching
TO the hips are of Astrakhan or moire with
deep revers over the shoulders. Fancy capes
for evening wear are made with Van Dykes
of the new perforated cloth, cerise of bluet
Black velvet capes have satin revers lined
with velvet or baby lamb The Mcdowell
fashion magazines contain many points of
interest on this important subject. They are
the safest guides on all questions of fashion
The price of La .Uode de Paris and Paris
ilbum of Fashion is $3.50 each for a years
subscription, or 81 cents per copy. THE
French DyeSsnaker costs So per annum, or 80
cts. per copy. La Node with its low price,
$3.50 per year, or 10 cents copy, is an
admirable home magazine. For the accom-
mediation of customers they contain coupon

are unequalled. Ifyou are unable to procure

A Sumner.

If there is one quality the JOURNAL
esteems above another in popular dis
cussion it is candor.
With undiluted joy, therefore, it
welcomes this announcement
When Mr.. Wellington addresses the people
of Cumberland there will be no difficulty in
understanding his position. He will neither
evade nor dodge single issue. He favors a
restoration of the Mckinley duty on tin
plate, wool, lumber, glass, cement and COAL
and he will not be afraid to say so-Cum-
berland Ners
That means in the case of coal IS
cents per ton tariff and so cents wages.
But "favoring' those figures is not
enough.
What we want to know without
evasion or lodging is-how, after Mr..
Wellington has obtained the restora-
ton of the coal tariff to Is cents-how,
in the face of fierce and groning domes-
tic competition, he is going to get
wages put back to 80 cents TOM
If he will answer that question with
out an i, expressed or implied, his
political fortune is made.

Funny but FallaciOus.

The argument that is made is that the AL
mighty in Nova Scotia has put the coal fields
close to the water and in Maryland He has
put the coal fields 300 miles or more from the
water, and that the inequalities that the AL
mighty has made in the diffusion of His
blessings must be regulated through the
ustom-house.-Joh" Il. Co~eu.
A good deal depends, Mr.. Cowen,
upon what are BLESSINGS
A movement by a Baltimorean to
''bless' New England with Nova
Scotia coal may return in maledictions
to Baltimore
l, 1t may confirm to New England
indefinitely its manufacturing su-
premacy, and
2, Besides retarding manufacturing
growth in Baltimore, it may destroy
one of that city's best tributary in
dustries.
Mr.. Cowen may even annex Nova
Scotia, so as to put it on some parity
with Maryland, but even then his first
business allegiance will be due to his
State.
Mr.. Cowen is glib, but, like the
Cumberland Neacs, he is sometimes
fearfully and wonderfully unsound.

One Way that Strikes React

The Coal Trade Journal says:
The late coal strike is having wonderful
stimulus on coal mining machinery. From
every quarter nearly comes the information
that the operators are putting in coal digging
machinery
If only the agitating elements of
labor were injured by the adoption of
mechanical means to get out coal, the
result would not need to be seriously
regretted.
But machinery displaces the limo,
cent as well as the guilty, and this is
to be dep.ored.
Still we hear the insane cry-''or-
ganize -
Still we hear the crazy plea for sys-
tematic elf-martyrdom by wholesale
Still we hear the demand which pro-
vokes all the prolific resources of in
vention to devise more and more means
to take the place of reliable, as we'll as
turbulent labor!

The Forgotten Factor.

Mr.. Shryock makes fine argument
in favor of free raw materials-an ar
gument which, under very modern
definitions, is very damaging to coal.
Yet Mr. Shryock's walls over lumber
depression are caught up and ap-
proved as follows:
The Shryock letter truthfully depicted the
condition of the lumber trade, and it was
folly for any one to deny that the business
had been greatly injured by unwlse demo-
cratic tariff Enthusiastically in the
Cumberland Ne~s.
There is another consideration which
never receives attention or thought
from the calamity shouters-Me interest
Of the consumers, the vast majority crowd
of the country.
If lumber has been cheapened Shy
unwisc democratic tariff legislation"
is it not good thing for the men who
want to build homes
Or, are the rights of the sawyers
always paramount to the rights of the
consumers
Always, says in effect Mr.. Shryock
and others who believe that govern
ment exists for the benefit of the few
and the disadvantage of the many.

What He Saw.

When was living abroad saw women in
Austria climbing up ladders with heavy hods
of mortar on their shoulders, aiding in the
building of houses. This will be the con-
dition in this country if the democratic theory
of tariff reform, or free trade is carried much
further.-Hon. JOhn H. Kasson.
That is country where the lumber
business must flourish. For "build-
ing of houses" involves considerable
consumption of lumber.
1t is probably because we have not
women at work at that sort of thing
here that induces Mr.. Shryock to COM
plain that "the lumber business has
been greatly injured" etc.
Mr.. Shryock and Mr.. Kasson do not
pull together.

A Part Of'the Glory.

The Baltimore Suns correspondent
in Cumberland writes:
A gentleman here recently had a converse
ton with John A Humbird, who has large
lumber interests in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
He asked Mr.. Humbrd what injury would
be done to the American lumber interest by
the new tariff law. He said none in the
world. Then he added, neutrality-suspicious.
we need is a tariff against Georgia and Ala
bama lumber"
If Mr.. Wellington could get a
prohibitive duty laid ON Pocahontas
coal this region would bloom like a
garden of Gul.
There wouldn't be an unemployed
man afterward.
And wages whew.
But-but- hesitate to recall it

hontas back into the Union
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1894-11-03

According to the Cumberland Ne,cs,
Mr.. Wellington is in favor of IS cents
ton duty on coal.
This, presumably, to enable the
companies to pay the miners 80 cents
a ton for digging.
Will the Ne,cs now state what figure
Mr.. Wellington named to the farmers
of Frederick as his price for wheat ?
And whether he will continue to
permit a 1!-cent loaf of bread, made of
$3-four, to be sold for cents
To fix wages at 80 cents ton is not
all we need
To make that 50 cents go as far as
possible is equally desirable.
We have the income; now give us
the price-list of the outgo.

Great is Party,

Thomas B. Reed has practically for
saken McKlnleyism.
He says the restoration of his party
to power does not at all imply the re-
enactment of the Mckinley law, or
any similar measure.
But, according to the Cumberland
Ne,cs, George l.. Wellington will swal-
low the whole hog, no matter which
end comes first.
Mr.. Reed evidently believes now
that the tariff needed reformation, but
he didn't want it under democratic
auspices.
Like Mr.. Wellington's party in
Cumberland, who want a government
building. but preferred to do without
1t rather than that it should come
through Billy McKaig.

A Lost Vote.

John X. Cowen says 'protection
per sc Is immoral"
The JOURNAL regrets to confess that
there is free trade republican IN this
town who sees Mr.. Cowen and goes
one worse.
He has 100 passages of Scripture at
his tongues end proving that protec-
ton is not only Immoral per Sc" but
that it is unhallowed by single di-
vinely inspired sanction.
He cannot vote for Wellington on
general principles, and cannot vote
for Williams because he understands
that the latter believes that if any
thing is entitled to protection, 1t is coal.

Mr.. Plat is panied to announce his express
company is obliged to pass its dividend ow-
ing to democratic depression, but perhaps if
he gave as much attention to running it as
he does to trying to boss the State of New
York his business might give better returns
than his bossism-New York World.
If current express rates, which are
IA direct tax, are in line with the late
Mckinley Act, then real high tariff,
which is an indirect tax, amounts in
many instances to confiscation.
1t is probably the most oppressive
business carried on in the name of the

There are at least $50 millions of people in

England New South Wales and New Zea-
land-43 millions, against it, Therefore,
protection must be right
And that statement was applauded.
And the JOURNAL heard it quoted
by christian gentleman right here in
Frostburg with the endorsement
THAT is a knock down statement"
We went right home and, getting
the latest figures. re-wrote ''the cham
pion's" argument as follows:
There are at least 96l millions of
people in the world who indulge some
sort of fetishism, and only 800 millions
who are christian. Therefore, fetish
ism must be right.
The Mckinley sort is probably the
''arrant nonsense which never draws

The JOURNAL says the courts can no more
distort physical nomenclature than they can
overturn rule of grammar Our experience
is that overturning rule of grammar Is
about the easiest thing in English conf
position We never committed rule of
syntax to memory without finding it knocked
clear out of court as soon as the exceptions
were tled.-Cumberand Ners.
Rules of syntax, more or less gen
eral as laws, are also more or less
rigid in application.
1t was of imperative rules the JOUR-
NAL was speaking.
Opening standard at random we
find the following:
A noun or pronoun used as the subject
of a proposition must be in the nominative
case.
A pronoun must agree with its antecedent
in person, number and gender.
An adjective or participle must belong to
some noun or pronoun.
A noun or a pronoun used as the object of
proposition must be in the objective case.
There are exceptions" to all rules
in the philosophy of language, but
they have never proven numerous or
strong enough to overthrow the rule,
even in court.
AS general propositions the four
rules quoted are absolutely immutable
and immovable. AS Sol Miller says in
his obsolete biography of Washing
ton, they cannot be
disturbed by the chickering's of men, the
din of war or terramote Of nature
We will now quote one of rhetoric
less peremptory, yet one which no
court dare declare Unconstitutional,
null and void"
All parts of sentence should correspond
with each other; a regular and dependent
construction throughout should be carefully
preserved
But it is probable the Ners logged
false syntaX into court.
If so, there are no rules in false
syntax.
And where there are no rules there
can be no exceptions.
