torney for the old gas company be-
fore the formation of the present COM

fendant's attorney, Mr.. Van Colt,

ton and the case was allowed to go

ruled out of order, however, but gave
notice he would renew the motion if

n Criticism.

The Mary land issue of the Coal Trade
Journal is an interesting edition, in
spite of several gross inaccuracies of
typographical detail.
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes contributes
four paragraphs generally descriptive
CD of "the Appalachian coal basin, the
largest continuous coal field of any
carboniferous area" and 81 of the
Georges Creek region, than which
"there is none richer in quality or
depth of deposit and at is acknowl.
edged that the product is ''unsur-
passed by any other region for 1.-THE
excellency of its steam producing
qualities and forging superiority"
Then he SAYS:
In the formation of this immense geosyn-
cline of coal, nature has been kind enough to
bestow on Maryland a section which measures
in the aggregate nearly $4,000 acres. The
deposit is located in rectangular-shaped dis
trict in Alegany county, with a small ter
ritory extending into Garrett county. The
southeastern boundary of the field is Dams
mountain, and the western and north western
limit is defined by Savage mountain. The
extent of this rough rectangle is twenty
miles, and the average width is three and
one-half miles. Down through the middle
of the region runs stream known as Georges
Creek, from the level of which. on either side
up the mountains mentioned, run the coal
measures, the total depth of which is 200
feet
The strata are 80 in number, and vary in
depth from a few inches to IA feet 10 inches,
and represent a total thickness of 20 feet ;
these are interspersed with iron ore, shale
limestone, cement rock and clay of the finest
quality until the base of milestone grit is
reached. The principal vein which is now
being worked, is the famous 'Fourteen-foot
Vein,' which lies l 800 feet above sea level !;
below this 800 feet there is another known as

HiTh.IIOw.

The country has tried high tariffs and mon
ometalism for twenty years. All values
have steadily declined since. Farming lands
have declined about onehalf and all real
estate Rents have declined. Farm pro-
ducts have declined and price of all labor has
declined
Everybody know this No one disputes it.
Let us try low tariff and bi-metalism. The
low tariff has been secured, let the people
now demand the rehabilitation of silver
Westminster (Md.) AdyOcate.
The logic of that argument is-that
high protection-for the last four years
specially high on silver-has cheapened
"all Values" and now, that slow tariff
has been secured"-especially low pro-
lection of silver-we have got to restore
to high protection only silver, and we
will then go somersaulting home to
good times.
The political monstrosity of this age
is the combination of low taritfite and
high mono-silver bug.

Death of an Old Citizen.

Cornelius Daley, an old and re-
spected citizen of this place, passed
away Tuesday morning, 18th inst. He
was born in Omerbau, county Antrim.
Ireland, and was in his 10Th year, and
had lived 40 years in this country.
He had been in feeble health for near
ly a year but not until week before
his death was the end expected. He
was conscious to the last and when
death came was surrounded by his chill
dren. The funeral took place Thurs
day morning at St. Michaels Catholic
church, where a Requiem High Mass
was sung for the repose of his soul.
His remains We're inferred IN new

his wife and eight children-Mrs. F.

Private Rights.

In his argument before the Supreme
Court upon the constitutionality of the
income tax Hon. George F. Edmunds,
one of the greatest lawyers of the
country, read from the Constitution
as to the protection of private rights,
and the press report continues:
These provisions, he said, were trite, and
yet it seemed necessary in these days to re-
call these constitutional bulwarks against an
invasion of private rights. In question of
this gravity he would feel disposed to ask the
court not only to pursue precedents and fit
them to this subject-matter, but to go back
and rule upon the entire subject, so vital to
sustaining private rights.
If, in seeking for bases of taxation
for support of government, a rich
mans private rights are held sacred
against such invasion, what shall we
name that terrorism which drives a
poor man from the work by which he
earns his children's bread9

al months ago.
If we'll founded, the complaint is
just. Schoolbooks ought to be as

But it remained for an Allegany

Hiram Mason.

The Kansas city ONO Journal print
ed very good portrait of the late
Hiram Mason in its issue of the Sth
inst, and, in addition to the informa-
ton given in these columns last week,
1t is stated that "he died of congestion
OF the brain accompanying a severe
attack of pneumonia :"
He was taken i'll last Friday. He had
been at the office, but complained of feeling
ill, and went home. A few hours after he
was attacked by pneumonia. He was in a
fair way to recovery, when congestion of the
brain set in on Wednesday. He then sank
rapidly.
He was an excellent business man, enter
prising, energetic and very engaging in his
manners.
A Kansas city correspondent sends
the following beautiful tribute to his
memory:
The funeral of Mr.. Mason took place from
the family home, 3,0l3 east 18th street. Sun
day afternoon. The services were conducted
by Rev. Frank d. Altman, pastor of the
Children's Memorial Lutheran church, of
which Mr.. Mason was devoted and honored
member. The internent was in Elmwood
cemetery.
Mr.. Mason was widely known in city bus
mess circles through his prominent con-
nection with the Whipple real estate and in,
vestment company, one of the largest in the
west. He was one among the best posted
men on real estate matters in the city, SEEM
ing to know the dimensions and value of
every lot in town. Consequently, the funeral
was attended by a large number of our real
estate and business men. The members OF
his church and 1.-THE Frostburg colony" were
in attendance to pay the last tribute of respect
to tellow-townsman. If the gift of flowers
is token of the regard In which one is held
by friends, then MIR. Nason's place was high
in the estimation of those who knew him
best as the beauty, elegance and profusion OF
floral tributes certainly attested.
Mr.. Mason was a valued citizen. Always
diligent in business and devoted member
of his church, it made no difference how
wearisome the six days work might have
been, Sunday morning found him in his seat
in the church ready for the spiritual labor and
enjoyment of the holy day. His sudden de
mise is a great loss to his family, his friends.
and the community, but he has left them the
fragrance Of good name and the example OF
welspent life. He performed his duties
patiently and quietly day by day in the fear
of God, so that when the summons came he
had nothing to do but put his house in
| order
And with an unfaltering trust approach the
| grave,

One IN the Mire-the Other III the Mud.

One IN the Mire-the Other III the Mud
The Cumberland Neeos is pretty slick
but hardly slick enough.
In endeavoring to squeeze out of the
dilemma occasioned by half its party
voting against making I. S. bonds
payable in gold it had to lubricate it
self this way:
The JOURNAL does not seem to properly
grasp the situation. We have not sought to
disguise the fact that the silver question is
"a troublesome" and perplexing one, but
the republican party has never favored a
policy the tendency of which would be to
debase silver and discredit it as a money
metal.
The JOURNAL is slow in grasping the
NeWs' views of "the situation," and a
good deal slower in adopting them.
For instance, if the Ne,cs is correct,
then the Sherman silver purchase Act
was not repealed, nor did Mr.. Sherman
himself vote for repeal
Some few republicans were caught by the
allurng bait, adroitly thrown out by the
promoters of the gold bond scheme, which
promised to save sixteen millions of dollars
in thirty years by the issue Of gold bond,
but the weight of opinion was strongly
against so radical a departure from the settled
financial policy of the government.
1.-The settled financial policy of the
government" has been to pay more than
Nominated in the bond" Until 1890
it has held that 'coin" means gold and
has acted accordingly. When the
silver territories were needed as States.
however, the party had to go back on
on gold apparently, knowing at the
time, and knowing noao that the silver
dollar, without the gold dollar to re-
deem it, is merchandise and not money.
1t was this and other evidences of
bad faith that compelled the money
kings to exact sixteen millions as the
cost of an uncertainty founded upon
both democratic and republican
dalliance with the silver siren.
The vote quoted by the JOURNAL is no indi
cation of very troublesome disagreement
among republicans upon the silver question.
1t was merely slight difference in belief as
to the effect of an administration measure
upon the credit of the government. A repub-
lican administration will have no difficulty
in maturing financial policy that will be
solid, safe and permanent.
Whenever any administration
achieves that feat, the Neecs may de-
pend npon it, there will be no uncer
tainty whatever in the "policy." Gold
is the ultimate coin of redemption, and
that fact, Enthusiastically stated, cannot
possibly be left out of any Financial
policy that will be solid, safe and
permanent"
