A CLEVER POLITICAL POEM.
It Was Written by an freshman During
the Rebellion of 1898.

the Rebellion of 1898.
What is spoken Of as Zone of the clev-
crest political poems ever composed"
has recently come under the notice of a
contributor to a northern contemporary,
the Dundee Advertiser. 1t was written
by Arthur Connor Cor O'Connor), the
friend of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and,
like him, prominent figure in the Irish
rebellion of 1898. He was arrested at
Margate that year, when ON his way to
France ON a secret mission. After being
detained in Kilmainham Jail for some
time, he was at length removed, with
other political prisoners, to Fort George
in Scotland. 1t was while ON his way
thither that he distributed copies of the
following poem, which was regarded as
proof of his return to loyalty:
The pomp of courts and pride Of kings
prize above all earthly things.
love my country, but the king,
Above all men his praise sing.
The royal banners are displayed
And may success the standard aid.
fain would Danish far from hence
The "Rights Of Man" and common sense.
Confusion to his odious reign,
That foe to princes, Thomas Panel
Defeat and ruin seize the cause
OF France, its liberties and lawsl
If the above lines be read continuous
ly, they seem to express very loyal SEN
timents. But if you read the first line
of the first verse, and then the first lire
Of the second verse, you will find that
they breathe the spirit of rampant re-
bellion:
The pomp of courts and pride of kings
fain would Danish far from hence.
prize above all earthly things
The "Rights of Man" and common sense.
love my country, but the king
Confusion to his odious reignl
Above all men his praise sing,
That foe to princes, Thomas Paine!
The royal banners are displayed.
Defeat and ruin seize the causei
And may success the standard aid
OF France, its liberties and laws.
Arthur o Conner ultimately made his
way to France, where, in 1907, he mar
ried the daughter of the Marquis de
Condorcet. He entered the French army
and rose to the rank Of general. His
death took place in April, 1862, when
he was 81 years Of age

Love is not only a leveler, but he
often adjusts cases out of court, to the
great disgust of attorneys. Clara
George and Albert Jones settled on the
same claim in Oklahoma. Both claim
ed priority of settlement and a fierce
feud sprang up between them. The
case was taken to court and both liti-
giants went armed. Some time ago
Jones fell ill and Miss Georges heart
was touched with pity. She went to
his cabin and cared for him, like an
angel, until he became we'll. During
convalesence he offered to divide the
claim in order to settle the dispute.
She agreed and he proposed marriage.
She agreed to this also and they were
married last month. No land is too
commonplace for romance. Even in
Oklahoma love will find way.

1t occurs to us that certain class
of people hold mistaken idea of what
constitutes editorial independence and
fearlessness in the conduct of a local
paper. In the estimation of these
people the paper that is everlastingly
pitching into somebody, poking its
nose into peoples private affairs, tear
lng open old sores and dragging skele-
tons from the closet in a heartless and
OFTEN brutal manner,-a paper of this
style, we repeat, is in the estimation of
this class of people, the cherished en-
Dodlment of enterprising and fearless
journalism. Fortunately, there is a
much larger and Infinitely more re-
spectacle class of readers who do not
approve OF this jackal style of journal
Ism, and it is to such that the editor
must look for support and encourage

and respectable family paper. Sensa-
honalism, spitefulness, sycophancy
and coarse suggestiveness should find
no place in the columns of a paper that

auires vastly more independence and
manhood to keep such things out of a
paper than it does to permit them to

Bless Their Hearts

The JOURNAL received a few days
ago an envelope, marked Personal"
containing circular communication
addressed ''To the Editor" 1t was
signed by the five lady officers of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, who, in appealing generally
to newspapers ''to take a high stand
on the question of public MORALS" say
among other things:
We believe that it is a minority of your
readers who demand sensational, personal or
immoral Details rather than the clean state
ments of fact and truth
That this is absolutely true of jour
NAL readers is as certain as the sun
shines.
Now, to show the difference between
the ladies' view and what the boy
cotters want. we will quote what the
ladies object to:
There is too often Il minuteness of detail in
the reports given of crime, wickedness and
sensuality, which can crafty only prurient
and vulgar curiosity, or awaken such curios-
ity in innocent and inexperienced minds.
Ladies, the JOURNAL was with you
before.
1t is more so now.

DO Not Delay.

Judge Boyd has practically decided
that the Payne alley is the property of
the public-that the land from the sur
face to the core of the earth belongs
to the people.
If this be fair deduction, why is not
the space from surface to sky also the
possession of the commonwealth
This question gives rise to the state
ment that the town, now so valiant in
defence of its citizens, was at the time
of the overarch derelict both in duty
and courage. The ug,y bridge Mould
hare neger been permitted.
But 1t has been there many years
an eyesore, yet exempt from public
and, so far rs we know, private Oh
lection, both because it has never been
anybody's particular business to find
fault with and move for its removal.
But now is good time to take it
down-an improvement that could be
effected no doubt by legal proceedings.
The JOURNAL does not favor meas
ures of the latter character, however,
except rs last resort.
1t suggests to Council, therefore, the
ACCESSIBILITY of proper negotiations
with Mr.. Percy to that end, for it will
be better to give him the money that
proceedings will cost than to hand it
over to lawyers and officers rs com
pensation for the exercise of force
word we all hate.
For the questions which meet Coun-
ell next are
|, If the alley is ours, is it not all
ours
., If our predecessors were derclict,
as is now apparent, in permitting the
bridge to be built over our alley. will
we be less so if we permit it to remain |!
Now is the time to act.

The JOURNALS sporting reporter
sends the following report, doubtless
the outcome of an interview with the
manager:
To the most indifferent baseball crank it
must be both apparent and source of pride
that the Frostburg baseball club is the slick
est article of the kind within a radius of 80 to
by their absence and the lovers of the game
generally fail to attend.
Perhaps it is because some bad exhibitions
during previous seasons have been given
and language and actions of players were any
thing but pleasant and entertaining.
| If such be the cause of the great lack of at
tendance this year, let me announce that
nothing has yet occurred IN any of the games
which savored of the unpea santnesses of
former seasons, or that could be regarded as
Objectionable.
The players, as well us manager have bent
their energies to make the games as enter
tanning as possible, and have succeeded, as
the scores of most of their games will prove
and the praise of the few who have been at
tending will attest. The games played have
been remarkable, for the entire absence of
wrangling among players. The decisions of
the umpire are accepted as law and no vocif-
erous objections raised as heretofore.
We therefore, extend the most urgent in
vitation- to the ladies especially-to visit the
ground more frequently and enliven the oc-
cason with their bright and exhilaratlng
presence.
The boys are yearning to twirl the sphere
and gambol under the approving eyes of the
fair sex, and while they are doing work
which calls forth the admiration and APP
plause ofall lovers of the game, they feel that
under the stimulus Of larger attendance, their
work would approach more nearly the per-
lection which they can attain
The game on Tuesday between Piedmont
and the boys resulted IN score of 10 to ) i'll
favor Of our boys. The most excellent work
of Jack and Carroll did much toward
winning the game, though all played in
pretty good form and have their little share
in the victory. The only disheartening
feature of the occasion, as before minated,
was the meagre result of gate receipts.
In all probability a game will occur be-
ween the newly organized aggregation of
Hoffman and our boys on Saturday, 10th
inst. Hoffman has greatly strengthened her
nine and good game may be expected.
The JOURNALS baseball poet does
up Tuesdays game in the following
unnpproachable style:
