the laws.-Hon. Warner Miller.
If Mr.. Miller were here he would be
called to account by some people for
such talk.

still indignant over the fact that the

them from themselves.
And several of "some people" are so
freshly landed that they are hardly

The tonnages which have been done in the
first ten months of the year in Pennsylvania
Maryland and West Virginia largely exceed
anything in the history of the trade in those
States. The coal which has been sold at the
seaboard, as consequence, has not realized
prices equal to those of last year.-Coal Trade

Yet there are people here who con-
tend that work is slack.
Stranger still, they hold that if West
Virginia can get our canal for rail
way track West Virginia institution
will! carry more Maryland coal than II
Maryland institution does.
To whom will it carry our coal that
are not getting it now?
Gentlemen, if Hurst is elected, good
bye canal.
And if West Virginia gets the canal
it will carry West Virginia coal to
people who are now consumers of
Maryland coal.
There is color in canal talk here
about that excites suspicion and alarm
There is something in the wind.
But the JOURNAL tells the people
now. once for all-better dead Mary
land waterway than a live West
Virginia railroad!

How il Will Turn Ont.

Senator German is doing more out
of door work this campaign than ever
before. He usually makes about four
speeches, but this fall he is down for
at least fifteen, whence the Baltimore
News concludes that
The fact that he is doing so much work on
the stump is an indication that he considers
himself the main issue in the contest and is
making the campaign in person on that line.
Hence, also, as matter of fact, the
democratic party is not on trial at all
The JOURNAL, therefore, makes this
probation
IfGormanism wins this election it will
be SO heralded all over the country.
If Gormanism loses, however, the
word will go out that it is democratic
defeat.
For the first article in the Cor
manized creed is
Heads l win. tails you lose.
And all the other articles are like
unto it.

Faulty DictiOn.

The Frostburg correspondent of the
Cumberland Times wrote two para
graphs to that paper Tuesday. The
JOURNAL quotes the shorter one:
A number of cases of scarlet fever are re-
ported in town. The disease is hurting the
school attendance to some extent.
The JOURNAL assumes that a high
school teacher is the author, which,
turning out to be correct, several ques-
tons arise
/, Is it not the report of cases, rather
than the disease that is diminishing the
attendance at school ,
., But If it should be either or both,
can attendance at school be hurt by a
disease2
The JOURNAL does not mean to be
hypercritical, but gentlemen who are
teachers of English composition as
well as writers for the press, ought to
employ faultess diction to convey
commonplace intelligence as well as
give soaring wing to the rare and
radiant conceptions of a cloudland
genius.

A BackdOwn.

The JOURNAL is tempted to say
there is not an honest lawyer in Ale
gany county.
But we wont do it.
Because if we should, J. Semmes
Devecmon might dispute it and offer
himself in proof.
And then he would tell the people
the JOURNAL is not only dishonest,
but a liar to boot.
From which some populists would
on the other hand infer that it is i'm
possible for an honest lawyer to tell
a fib.

The JOURNAL has inadvertently
omitted to express its qualification at
the nomination of J. B. Finan, editor
of the Cumberland Independent, by the
democrats for treasurer. An editor

Politics have reached the stage when
statesmen and organs are catching
each other in bran new lies.

Saved Them from Themselves.

The old story that Mr. Lowndes had some
thing to do with bringing the soldiers into
this county during the strike of 1894 was
repeated at the popullst meeting last night
in manner which created suspicion that
some of the speakers were Gormanites in dis
guise Everybody here knows how ground
less that story is, and it is hardly necessary
to deny Northumberland Ne'cS.
"Gtoundless" it undoubtedly is.
But even though it were true, those
who saw the situation as it really ex-
listed know that if calling the military
here TO preoent disorder and loss of life
were an error. it was an error positive
~ on the side of order and safety.
This is the plain, undenlable truth
as much so now as at the time.
When Henry Kyd Douglas was a
nominee for Congress he, too, was
arraigned at the bar of so called labor
for having committed an offense
against the ethics of the jungle in
commanding the peace in this State
in 1877. The JOURNAL said then
that
The man or party who condemns an
official, civil or military, for performing his
sworn duty as conservator of law and
order is guilty of treason.
This is no less true now.
But it may be said IN behalf of those
who then punished Douglas for keep
ing the peace and who now allege
similar complaint against at least two
nominees, that they know not what
they do.
They may not know that they invite
anarchy.
They may not know that they solicit
for themselves and children a denial
of their own right to work for living.
They may not know that in the very
hour they wrest the right to work
from their fellow orkmen their own
right to do the same thing is forfeited.
In this, as in all instances of popu-
lar tyranny, the oppressor bleeds in
the self-same hour that he triumphs.
And, leaving Messrs. Lowndes and
Sloan entirely out of the question, 1t
is the JOURNALS pronounced convic-
ton that the call of the military here
last year was an act of self defence to
none more than the identical people
who condemn that call.
The military got here just in time to
prevent them from crucifying their
own rights.
1t saved them, in short, from the
"hour and article of civil suicide.

Money Wanted.

Fellow-citizens, there is no trouble
whatever in the way of getting plenty
free schools, free books and good
roads-if you will put up plenty of
money for them.
In the matter of roads, with enough
money and man like B. S. Randolph
with his native judgment, engineer
ing scholarship and systematic bus
mess methods, Allegany county would
have in five years the best roads on the
continent.
The wealth Of the county is great
enough to stand the expenditure, too.

certain-the public school system has

partment of the Baltimore Morning

ACQUITTED OF MURDER.

Paris, Tex, April 26.-(Special.)-ln
the district court today Tom Dean was
acquitted of the charge of numbering To-
gan Clay in this city on May 0, 1891.
This was one of the most noted cases
ever tried in Lamar coraty. Clay was of
wealthy and highly respected family,
but was inclined to be wild. Dean came
here from Corsicana in the spring of 1891
and opened a gambling room. This seems
to have excited the enmity of the other
gamblers of the town, and Dean was sub
iected to many annOyances. On the night
of the killing Clay and others went to
Deans place and a difficulty ensued.
Clay covered Dean with q revolver and
took his pistol from him, and went off
making threats as to what he CLAY
would do to Dean. Clay and his friends
repaired to neighbOring saloon. while
Dean procured double-barreled shotgun
and followed. Finding him in the saloon
he literally shot Clay's head off as the lat
ter was attempting to, as he thought,
draw a pistol. The case has been tried
three times; In May, 1891, when the
jury stood 1 to 2 for acquittal; October,
1894. when it stood for acquittal and )
for manslaughtcr The verdict today
gives almost universal satisfaction.
