\ Bad Job.

Let us see-a high tariff makes high
wages and high wages make cheap
products.
Low tariff makes low wages and low
wages also cheaper products.
Free trade makes no wages, and no
wages make no products.
That seems to be the high tariff view
of itself, low tariff and free trade.
If the JOURNAL be wrong, will some
body correct it?
If not, wonder how high wages pro-
duce cheap coal
And how low wages do exactly the

An Unequal Struggle.

The announcement by the Cumber-

nifying glasses, who are searching for
a cave that is inhabited.
But if they want to find one contain

among those numerous questions asked
the Neecs that are still unanswered.
They will find in that neighborhood
hollow sounds, squirmlng noises and
other ghostly testimonials of "a hole"

Honor to Whom Honor is Due"

The Homecoming Recie,o appears to
have been sent for at last.
At least it seems to enjoy the SYM
pathy of the Cumberland Ners in its
sufferings as an organ of the blather-
skite-a term whose sound the NemS
processes to disrelish, and in which it
also discovers, with a wroughtup
show Of affectation, ''smacks of i'll
temper and a tone giving ''color to
the suspicion that the JOURNAL is IN a
hole"
The Journal would not do the
Nems injustice.
Hence, we must give it the ere lit of
believing that it did not read

appeared in the Journal to provoke
this Incorporate, light-headed out
break-nothing to justify the attempt
to poison the minds and feelings of the
miners against the JoURNAL-at its
best an incendiary thing to do.
All, except possibly the Rerie@ and
its contingent of blatherskites, agreed
that, whatever the cause, the wage
rates for developing and shipping
coal had to come down. Even the
Ne,cs, admitted the necessity, ostensibly
differing with the JOURNAL only rs to
the prime cause.
1t was a good deal to bear, yet the

TOWN AND VICINITY,
The Truth iSOut.

The Homecoming Recietr several weeks
ago resented a JOURNAL intimation,
founded on reliable information, that
the disorderly people making life a
bu: den to the folks on the Potomac,
were from the immediate neighborhood
of Jackson's run, suspension bridge
and Never Seen. 1t turns out, how
ever, that the JOURNAL, correct as
usual, threw its shot in the right tim
Der. At any rate, ) of about % got
hit in the pocket $3.50 worth last
Saturday in Cumberland for some

formed, therefore, that its attempt to
inculpate the people Of Frostburg in
this business is Il small piece of its
very poor strategy.

Religious and Independent.

y question now debated by many
church journals is
How far should the religious press ningle
in politics?
1t ought to wade into vicious poll
tics deep enough to exert al. possible
salutary influence in the way of
publication.
For the more religious papers do
this sort of thing, the less occasion will
there be for political sermons.
But the religious paper should not
be republican, democratic nor popu-
listic, but, like the JOURNAL, it should
be independent, with an "unbending
leaning" toward advocacy of the real
rights of genuine labor.
Thus will the saying have come to
pass
ie are blessed in your day and generation,
and the great paper is your prophet.
And now Is the time to subscribe.

Another Chance to Explain.

a valued Washington Cd. c. cor
respondent writes:
The JOURNAL is mistaken in stating that
the Senate committee rate on collars and
cuffs is equivalent to the Mckinley figure
The committee rate is about So per cent. while
the Mckinley rate is about 65 per cent.
Well, no matter-Senator Murphy
wants the present, or Mckinley rate
retained, and he represents directly
the collar and cuff industry.
But what the JOURNAL was after
was this:
The Cumberland Ne~s, having in
sisted that the collar and cuff people
are 'entltled to the same protection
the miners claimed,' the JOURNAL
wanted to know whether, on the other
hand, the miners were certified to the
same protection the collar and cuff
people enjoy?
And, if so, why they did not get it in
the Mckinley Act9
If the tariff on coal had been IS per
cent. ad ralorem, the miners would have
been protected in the sum of $l.95 per
ton.
Why did they not get it
Or why are we left to assume that,
unlike the collar and cuff people, they
are not ''entitled'' to it.

The True State ofthe Case.

The fact that the Maryland Senate refused
to endorse the action of Senators German and
Gibson in contendng for duty on coal, is
only another proof that the party the ma
jority of them represent wants free coal
Homecoming Reriec.
The wonder is that it is thought
necessary to prove that statement.
Another is that, being true without
proof, what chance little minority
can secure by organization.
For it should never be forgotten
that organization now is not against
the companies, but against the con-
sumers. who are the majority.

More Dizziness.
The Cumberland Ners said

The Cumberland Ners said
The JOURNAL is dull this week.
The Ne@S, it will be remembered, is
a partisan of collars and cuffs, but,
according to late issue of Judge, the
tariff, which rules or runs everything,
has even disseminated against cuffs :
We'll, said the collar to the cuffs, do
you feel the effects of the general dizziness 2"
1--WE should say we did, replied the cuffs.
1--WE never met with so many Ieverses in our
lives
The question which now arises is
are not cuffs entitled to as much pro-
lection from general dullness" as
collars
If not, why does the Necs, which is
not blatherskite, want protection in
the neck and not in the wrist.

IfODaDle Attempt to Repeat History

great Flat Top coal fields Of Mcdowell and

three million tons of coal and about a half
million tons of coke. Ten years ago this re-

Married.,

~ valued correspondent sends the
JOURNAL the following notices of two
pleasant events of recent date:
Wednesday evening, March %, 1894 the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent Raley, on
Mechanic street presented a gay and festive
scene. The gathering was in honor of the
marriage of Miss Annie f. Raley, the eldest
daughter of the family, to Mr.. John Bachman
of Cumberland. The number of invited
guests present was very large, and joy and
mlrth altogether betittlng the OCCASION
reigned supreme. The hour set for the
ceremony was s o'clock
and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes look d love to eyes which spake
again.
And all went merry as marriage, bell
while, in the presence of the assembled
guests, and to the subdued accompanying
tones of the piano, skilfully played by
Nicholas T. Hooking, Rev. c. A. Britt pastor
of the English Lutheran Church, pronounced

provided for the occasion-substantials

was abundantly laden. Ample justice having
been done the viands by the numerous
participants in the weddng-joy toward mid
night the guests began to dispense and in

of Mr.. and Mrs. Greenbury Humbertson, the
brides parents whose new and handsome
residence is on Broadway, Mr.. Samuel b.
Frantz, of Cumberland, and Miss Annie NJ.
Humbertson were united in marriage by Rev.
G. A. Britt, pastor Of the English Lutheran
Church. A select number of the friends of
the bride and groom were present. After the
ceremony the happy couple were turned over
to their friends, whose congratulations were
enthusiastically given and joyfully received.
The guests then repaired to the dining-roo M
