THE ENGLISH SPEECH.

Oh, the English speech! How true it ringsl
How masterful and clear!
Fit vehicle fer greatest things
h mortal man may hear.
Freemen of greatest, noblest thought
Their songs divine have sung,
And laws Of highest justice taught
In this majestic tongue.
In stern. defiant. tempest tones
Its battle shouts arise,
Pelting the towards heart like stones.
Shaking the vaulted skies.
But, oh, what frank and hearty mirth
Doth English speech reveal
When Peace, Gods angel, walks the earth
Tn wounds of war to heal!
There's not an impulse of the mind
Or feeling of the heart
But Elay its full expression find
In this consummate art.
Our mother tongue! The English speech!
Thu ages masterpiece!
hose sway around the world doth reach.
And shall, tin time doth cease.
Oh, the English speech. How true it rings
Simple, direct and clear.
The speech of freemen, natures kings,
Language of men sincere!

was told that he was coming right along
and could speed a $40 clip. At no time
could the colt speed better than a 800
gait, and after he had been a month at
work the best he could do was a quar-
ter in 4S seconds. The natural result of
this was that the owner was as angry
as it is possible for a man to be when he
found out the truth and took not only
the black colt but all the rest of his
horses away and sent them to some one
else. The deception practiced virtually
killed the trainers business. The ma

The Lawgivers.

The Lawgivers.
They were building a government mighty and
strong
To tyrannize over the oncoming throng,
Making laws by the light of today's waxen
taper,
AS If liberty lived in a legalized paper
That must throttle tomorrow and progress
impede,
When the future but asks that the present con.
code
A patient advancement and natural growth
To virtue, that needs not the strength Of an
oath.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
A grand entertainment was given Thurs
day, Feb. %, by members of Tyrian Lodge,
No. "a, +. Il A. NJ, as noticed in the JOURNAL
last week, which proved to be great success.
At the appointed time the hall was crowd
ed from one end to the other with colored and
white people Of all ages, dressed IN all sorts of
costumes. and bent on making the most of
the evening. There were many from far and
near to make the affair 'howling success"

which was headed by G. Ward Arnold and
Mrs. s. c. Dorsey, the latter of Frederick city,

On Family Affairs.

The JOURNAL gives publication to
the following letter from One Who
Pays Some Taxes"
FRosTBURG, MD, March 5, 1895.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Seeing in your issue of I'd inst that several
of our present municipal officers are putting
their NAMES before the public through your
paper for re election write to say am not
surprised at their doing So for to classify their
money income with the miners they get the
best pay going, to say nothing of as good, if
not the best suit of clothes they ever had.
do not impute anything against the standing
of these men, but us this is "A time when Frost
burg people are demonstrating their liberaity,
would it not be prudent for us as electors to
bestow our generous consideration on some
other deserving parties who need good pay
and nice suit of clothes. Do not let us con-
fer all on one party by giving them more than
enough.
Another idea that have is-that last spring
there was general reduction among the
miners of 20 per cent. Now, 1 would ask if
our financial standing as a family or cor
poratlon does no: demand curtaiment of ex-
penses and economy in every way possible
1 would suggest, therefore, that there be a
reduction of 20 per cent. from all salaries of
officials that may be next elected, including
the mayor and on all labor that is done on
corporation account. think there will be no
scarcity of men willing to accept these terms.
Said reduction will enable more work to be
done on our streets and alleys, if need be, and,
if not, there is plenty need tor it somewhere
else
Another matter | wish to call attention to
is-the ticket that Taxpayer names to COM
plete our next municipal board.
Without making any personal reference to
any of the gentlemen named-to use miners
phrase, and believe it is prevalent in all our
different mines, for there is nothing that ir-
ritates miners feelings more than seeing
some of his fellow-workmen getting more
than their share of the work-that u.s. as long
as complainant is able to fill the bill. / con-
tend for fair play IN this case, and throwing
all political opinions aside, if there is any
gain, financial or otherwise, in holding these
offices, let them go the rounds, and if there
is any loss, financial or otherwise, let it be
rice versa.
Without consulting the gentlemen whether
they would accept the positions, if elected,
and the most of chem are heavy taxpayers,
name the following ticket:

Operatic and Theatrical.

Last year tine Schumann quartette
of ladies, the same that "won the prize
at the Worlds Fair sang here.
This week the Schumann quartette of
ladies-the same that "won the prize
at the Worlds Fair''-sang in Cumber-
land. The JOURNAL saw and heard
the ladies in Front Royal. Va, last
Saturday, but not one of them was in
the quartette that appeared here last
year. The manner of the young lady
who does the elocutionary work, as
she appears IN the opening to the
stage, reminds one of the illustration
IL am Trilby !" Her performances
are very fine. but whether Neaos' read
ers in Cumberland who depend upon
Georges Creek attendance upon their
entertainments to save them from the

ciated her talent is an open question.

pear ut the Ravenscr"ft Opera House
Tuesday evening, reached Cumberland
25 minutes after leaving time of the
C. and P. train. Manager Ravens

had arranged for a special, but some,
body got the ear of the company chief
and told him 'Frostburg isn't much of
a place anyhow" and he ordered his
company back on the train for
Connellsville, Pa. Ravenscroft's ex-
penses and work, advertising, posting.

pointed. There may be some policies
meaner and dirtier than this incident
betrays, but just at this moment its
occasion and location are not visible

Not Il Candidate.

Among the candidates mentioned for mayor
at the approaching municipal election in
FrostDurg are Joseph Bear, f. Z. Beall, John
Chambers and J. b. Oder. The latter, how
eyer, will only run on a cow-in-pen, tariff-ou-
coal platform. Among the republicans
Messrs. Otto Hohing, J. S. Metzger and A.
T. Reckner are named Cumberland News.
Concerning the undersigned-mis-
taken, as usual.
The great paper believes in an
adequate uniform ad ualorem tariff on
eoerything the like of which is produced
in this country.
In local matters it believes in the
enactment of laws which promote the
health, comfort aud safety of the
people, and in enforcing them. In this
connection, also, it believes that no
man should be supported for any Office,
town, county, State or national, who
has ever figured i'll the enactment OF n
law and then exploited himself out of
providing means for its enforcement.
Partly for the sake of watching some
OF this kidney next fall the JOURNAL is
not candidate for any office.
Moreover, the JOURNAL knows it
cannot be elected. There are good
christian people approving its indie
pendent labor principles who cannot
unite with it in the conviction that an
aggregation Of hog pens is greater
danger to popular health than one.
In fact, there are many who think
their own church enough to save the
town spiritually, but nine hundred and
fortyfour hog-pens are indispensable
to the salvation of its slop.
Hence, the JOURNAL is not candi-
date.
