The cheerful manner with which
the inexperienced Homecoming Reoie,c
plucks the laurels of triumph out of
the ashes of defeat would be refresh
ing were the exercise less funereal.
For instance-it imagines recent
challenge of the JOURNAL to the Re
cie@ to put it (the JOURNAL ''in a
hole" and claims that what was once
''challenge,' later ''wish,' has
"been fulfilled" and that ''to the let
ter. too
The Recie,r editors tribute to his
paper, however, is strikingly like the
peroration of the Jealous young min
lister who was represented in a recent
issue of Life as yelling with great
eloquence
Here stands Mother Church-one foot firm
ly planted on the earth, the other pointed
toward Heaven.

The Post to-day prints extracts from the
eloquent speech of Robert J. Ingersol, re-
Gently delivered at Danville, ILL.,, in which
he tells why he is a Republican. Every
reader of the Post ought to read it to the
children. 1t is well worthy Of profound

For the sake of the dear "children"
the JOURNAL sincerely hopes Col
lngersoll's reasons for being a re-
publican are not akin in analogy or
degree to his reasons for being an
infidel.

That Wolf in a Sheepskin.

A more false statement has never been
printed. and the JOURNAL knows it.-Lona-
coming Revie~.
Softly, softly. If the Recie~ did not
say that "such organs are nothing
more than wolves in sleeps cloth
ing" what did it say!
If it did say it, what did it mean ?
Or, if it says one thing and means
another, which is its unfortunate read
ers to take-the printed statement or
the Recie,cs's intent?
One of two things is inevitable-if
the Recie,o meant to call the JOURNAL a
"wolf in sleeps clothing," it meant
also to call miners sheep. If it did
not mean to so classify the JOURNAL
and the miners, it printed something
it did not mean to print.
But it is patent to all that the Re
eie,o meant to convey the Idea that the
JOURNAL is a "wolf in sleeps cloth
ing and by exactly the same token
it said the miners are in danger of
being thus misled. No compliment
was designed for the JoURNAL-that
is sure: if one was intended for the
miners it got off the track, was wreck
ed, or busted by conclusion before it
got out of the Reciem's head.
This is strict construction of the
Reoiers own language, chnched by its
subsequent expressions of qualification
over the narrow escape OF the sheep
from ruin and of weak faith in their
future safety. In the one case their
escape is regarded as ''fortunate"-
just as though the sheep were mutton
for accident and wool for calamity
In the other case, the RecieaO exercises
more faith in some fortuity than in
the positive power of the sheep to
resist wolfish enticements.
To show, moreover, that the JOUR
NAILS reading of the Recien is fair it
will again quote what it printed:
Such organs, miners of the region, are
nothing more than evolves in sleeps
clothing kept up and fostered by the coal
companies to attempt to mislead you, but
fortunately they have not succeeded and we
don't believe they ever will.
1t seems that it was just as much as
the Recie.o could possibly do to 1eacn
that conclusion, but looking at some
ghost of a past mistake and with a
gasping expression of effeminate re-
lance upon hap-hazard providence
hereafter, it at last turned the sheep
over to remorseless fate.
The worst, however, is to come-the
sheep have been and are in danger of
''attempts to mislead'' them! All this
rapture of qualification over a fortu-
nate escape, and all this solicitude
about the uncertain future-not oc-
casioned, after all, by misleading in
the flower, but by bamboozling in the
bud.

Big Difference

The JOURNAL applauds the follow
ing evidence of the right sort of faith :
We have confidence that the good sense of
the miners Of Frostburg will prevent them
from being led into another trap.-Cumber-
land Ne,cs.
How much more sensible that sounds
than Homecoming Reciew palaver.

The Lord Knows Which is Right.

Thomas P. Grasty resents the i'm
putation that his coal figures, taken
from Henry C. Whitney's prospectus
report are "faked.'
Frederick E. Saward had called the
figures, ETC., ''trash.'
Richard P. Rothwell also intimates
that Frederick E. Sawards figures in
an annual report of coal production
are borrowed and "slightly changed"
etc.
These differences imply that the
license which by common sutferance
has been accorded to the poet, has
also been shed abroad in the hearts of
the coal statisticians.

\ Dead Sure Result,

The handiest, quickest, smest way to

Indeed, the strike will put it prac-

In the Nature of Il Platform.

The JOURNAL commends the follow
ing paragraph to both the Homecoming
!Star and its "Reader'-not so much
because the Ne,rs' extreme veto of the
"rules of grammar is thereby en-
dorsed, but to show the Homecoming
sticklers that an experienced editor
believes that writers have some rights
which inexperienced c.ibblers should
respect:
The great paper will find the Ne~s not so
very ''edgeless" this week. In the meantime
we advise it to drop that Improbable dis
cusslon of the grammatical use of the verb
''learn." At this day no one except cranks
and school teachers concern themselves about
the absurd rules Of grammar.-Cumberland
Nems.
The JOURNALS latest attention to
the matter is in line with its time
honored policy of reciprocity when
ever inconsiderate scribes revive an
old controversy or enact new one.
And in the languageof the immortal
Lincoln that nothing is ever settled
that is not settled right the JOURNAL
never abandons field of controversy
until the open foe lays down his arms
and the bush whacker spikes his own
little anonymous gun.

Numbers-not PrincinIcs.

One of the advance guard of CoXey's tramp
army arrived in Snow Hill Wednesday night.
He claimed to be an Odd Fellow, but he
couldn't give the signs of the order, and
although it was II o clock at night when he
applied at the home of an odd Fellow he
couldn't work his racket and was compelled
to march on. On Thursday he was arrested
ard put in jail Baltimore Nc"s.
That man made the "odd" mistake of
not travelling in a crowd 1000 strong"
In the latter case he would not have
been arrested: on the contrary, he
would have been the occasion of a
800 mislick by the Town Council, Il
popular meeting to provide for his en-
tertainment as public guest, and of
a chance for ''leaders'' to show that
real municipal enterprise consists in
making tramps feel at home.
The Snow Hill tramp should remem
Der now that where his interest is con-
cerned in the principle of public enter
tainment for his kind long battalion
of him is the pole that knocks the
perSimmOn.

The Georges Creek wolf was not so
lucky.
The sheep won, but it was an escape
about as wide as an imaginary line.
A Word of Cheer.
The Homecoming RecieU enlisted in

last week in great shape.
The Keystone diggers "have better
sense" and those of Georges Creek

ment," etc.
Keep on, fellow traveller, for it will
take you long time to repair that
counterfeit sheep break of few weeks
ago.
Meanwhile, the JOURNAL, which is
an Independent labor paper of the
deepest dye, will keep you out of the
tolls of self discriminating rhetoric.

His Pardon.

Lexington, KY, Feb. 3. - Especial

Z. Scarce, who is in the Lexington
Jail under ten years sentence, will
never go to the State Prison. He is
making an effort now to raise the
money with which to take up the $780,
600 worth of forged paper, and two
petitions are being gotten up, to be
signed by the Jurors who sat in his
case, and also prominent business men
and officials, asking the Governor to
pardon him. In letter to friend,
written from the Jail, he pleads that
he is in the prime of lite, and iflet go
he can do mnch good in the business

and that his forgeries were not ment to
defraud, but to bridge over financial
misfortunes. ...

BomarS Charge Against Turner Which Turner Says is With
out Foundation-Was 1t Jealousy?
Bomar Reckless Desperate Mad-He Cared Not For e-Had
Threatened and Attempted to Kill Turner-He
Would Not Be Reeoneiled
TURNER TRIES TO EvADE TROUBLE AND WAS HERE
ON COURT BUSINESS

Yesterday about 1915 o'clock
there suddenly rang out on the
keen winter air the sharp and I'M
pleasant notes of d number of pis-
tol shots, and in a minute or two
one soul had been sent into eter-
nifty, and the awful crime of muir
der laid at the door of four men.
At the hour specified Clay Tur-
ner, j. A. Mckenzie and Tom Blair
were seen together going in the
direction of the Court House, and
only little way behind them was
seen Capt j. l.. Bomar following
them with the evident intention of
overtaking them. That Bomar was
following, the party evidently
knew, for they kept glancing back
over the shoulder to see how near
he was approaching. When Bomar
reached the corner of Broadway
and Court street the three men had
separated just enough to get good
room, and Bomar drew his pis-
tol, the other three doing the same,
and two shots, as one, rang out
upon the air.
The evidence before the Coroner's
jury showed that Bomar fired at
Clay Turner, and that Blair fired
at BOmar. The three men had in
the meantime ranged themselves so
as to place Mckenzie in front, Tur-
