TOWN AND VICINITY.
1.-TWO to One"

The JOURNAL intimated lately that
the Creek is with Frostburg in "the
grand ball" matter. In confederation
whereof the following comment is sent
with a subscription remittance by a
gentleman down there:
Permit me to congratulate you upon the
righteous and invIncible stand you have
taken in surrounding Frostburg's firemen
with your irrefutable logic in the main
tenance of their right to all the honors and
emouments accruing from their efforts in
their prospective reunion. The attempt of a
few of mberlands selfish citizens to rob
your people of the fruits of their labor has
received a wel-merted rebuke and castigation
from your able pen. A lesson has been
taught them that it is hoped will make them
more careful in the future in respecting the
rights of their neighbors on the Creek. The
undignified and uncalled-for personal al
lusions to you in recent issue of the Neps is
only one exhibition of its usual method of
attempting to defend defenceless subject.
1t shows also how effective have been your
unerring shafts of truth.
The Creek people are with you unanimously
i'll this matter, and should the Cumberland
clique adhere to its present exhibition of
childish huff" we will replace them two
to one.

The JOURNAL understands that a
committee has been appointed to talk
with Cumberland fremen about ''the
grand ball. etc., and that the latter
have been invited to call. The Jour-
NAL suggests that the gentlemen be
graciously received, treated with super
abundant hospitality, and generously
informed that, with all Cumberland
counter-attractions abandoned, there
is nothing whatever in the way of
Cumberland firemen, people, and ''the
strangers within their gates coming
to the metropolis during the conven-
ton" and partaking of the very best
entertainment we are able to give
them. They might also be informed
| that ga grand BALI in their city Fri
day evening, June II, will be entirely
in order and Frostburg fremen will
exert themselves to add to the gayety
AM profit of the occasion.
Still Later-The JOURNAL is Informed
that at a meeting last evening of the
Executive committee and chairmen of
other committees a letter from Capt.
T. f. McCardell was read. The letter
announced that the Cumberland COM
panes have Cancelled all arrangements
to visit Frostburg on the 18th and 18th
of June, unless the Frostburg author
tiles make some apology for the stand
they have taken. 1t was stated also
that an official letter to the same
purport would follow.
In anticipation of that letter the
committee gave expression to its entire
willingness to declare off all CORES
pondence with the Cumberland fire.

The Remedy.

The Cumberland dailies speak of the
JOURNALS condemnation of the scheme
to hold grand ball in that city "during
the c0noentiOn' as ''meanness."
If their characterization be just,
then all patriotic standing by home
and home interests is treason.
But it is not just.
Hence, the JOURNAL has to come
down on the whole place in way that
will make all the inhabitants feel that
the heavens have collapsed and, fall
ing, struck funnel that focused the
whole wreck on Cumberland.
If they don't want any more of it,
they must call off their newspaper

State Association and contemplated in
the programme for June II and ID.

Single Tax VS.. Farm Reform.
SYKEsvILLE, Mp, April 8, 1895.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
You We're certainly very kind in re,
Gently giving the idle Single Takers of
the land some practical advice as to
how to set to work inaugurating their
reform. Like myself. you want to see
them get move on themselves, but
am afraid that, like myself, you will
find all your practical advice wasted
on a class of reformers who want only
to ''argufy."
When you have "argufed" enough
of them away from the columns of the
JOURNAL to allow something new to be
heard on a reform that is reforming, |
would like to lay before your readers
something about $1,000 women who
are going to farming on 10000 acres
something about the San Francisco
Examiner publishing farm reform
something about the Baltimore San
coming gloriously around to it F.; some
thing about Mayor Plngree as Single
Taxer, and something about his plan
of getting people permanently ON to
farms, without waiting for the advent
of Single Tax.

A fire alarm at II p. m. yesterday
drew an immense crowd to the east
end. The firemen arrived quickly and
soon had two streams of water playing
on the stables of John Gunter, C. A.
Smeltz and 7. j. Price. The two
former were total losses the latter
badly scorched. The fire started in
Gunter's stable from matches with
which three little boys were playing.
The loss reaches several hundred dol.
lars. The water pressure, handled by
the firemen, soon showed what the
system and organization are worth to
the town.

dent Cleveland for definition of
"sound money!" and will not be COM
forted without 1t.
If the President will permit the

say in effect that 'sound money! is

party.

BreVitieS.

The Cumberland Courier tells the
city people that "the Mattingly case
should teach them lesson akin to
that which Frostbulg learned from
the cow case" A reading of the
Council proceedings in JOURNAL of
last week and view of bovine free
dom on the streets unite to show that
Frostburg has not as yet learned the
lesson.
The pavement ordinance, adopted
at last special meeting of Council, was
ordered to be printed, on motion of
Mr.. Scott. 1t is already published
on our new and portly telegraph
poles that we had such hard time
keeping out of town so long.
The JOURNAL last week stated that
the attorney for the builders of the
culverts on Frost avenue had accepted
to sum of 1878 sin full payment for
work done on that street, This was
an error. The sum states was accept
ed, but not as payment in full"
The JOURNAL remarked to John
Benign Shannon that the yellow tracks
made from the post-office to Towles'
gallery must have been copied from a
view through laughing camera, and
Mr.. S. replied that if the strides were
as high as long he would be reminded
of the tenor of good book entitled
"Stepping HeaYenward."

that, clad in minority rights" has
sneaked in and reversed the very
genius of popular government. Under
it, no matter which party has COM
mand of the Juggernaut of taxation,
Cumberland holds the reins.
And it will be ever thus until
political cunning ceases to delude,
hypocrisy to deceive and power to
overawe a people that would love to
become free.
Should that suspicious day ever
come Cumberland will quickly lose
the pre- eminence she has borrowed
from this coal region, together with
all that has been incidentally and con-
seqentially forced upon her, and erelong
be known along the highways only as
a place where the roads fork.
The JOURNAL is not through, but here
it must stop for this week. 1.-THE truth
wounds anyone in Cumberland, let
him remember that both his dailies have
invited this exposition.
But the truth should hurt no man.
On the contrary, scripturally speak
ing, it should make him free" Thus
emancipated, he will "be free indeed"
1t ought to be remembered, finally,
that no explicit denial of any state
ment in this article. taken from the
record, can be made without impeach-
ing Cumberland figures and figurers.
And they cannot be slurred, or laugh
ed down without assuming that all the
people of Georges Creek are fools.

Who was it who invented the phrase
1.-THE literary idea, and did he quite
understand what he meant by it? Did
1t occur to him that ideas are the prop.
erty Of the human mind and not of any
particular art; that though some can be
fully expressed by one art only, and
some better expressed by one art than
another, TO deny the right of any art to
express OF suggest what it can would be
to impoverish it very seriously' Lit
erature would come off better than
painting, but how changed and dull
would it be if what may be called the
pictorial idea were excluded from
its territory!
Fortunately men of imagination who
are also artists have always refused to
be strictly bound by pedantic theories,
and the greatest of them have not been
the first to break down any announcement
barriers between one art and another,
which hampered the expression of their
thoughts. What has been will be, and

endeavor TO express by paint such ideas
as inspire them without much regard as
