Space is too Dear.

The JOURNAL declares, without giving the
vote, etc.-Cumberland News.
The JOURNAL gave the names of all
who voted in its issue April go for
repeal; 10 against.
In its edition of May it detailed
how the non-voting Senators would
have voted had they been present, as
announced by their colleagues for
repeal, 3 against, altogether showing
that the democrats of the Senate were
% for and % against repeal.
The Ne'os, with whom "life is too
short' to spend in tight places, must
think the JOURNAL is going to live
several hundred years IN the buoyancy
of ETHEREAL freedom.
1t is about half right, but the JOUR
NAL can't afford to publish that vote
every week to prove that the Nescs is
dragging out a mlserably indefinite ex
istence in hole.

Fun Ahead.


The Cumberland Ne,os "draws the
line at the sovereignty of Georges
Creek" and 1t had hoped that par
ticular phase of lunacy had been
thrashed out of the great paper over
thirty years ago"
This should be borne in mind, gen
tlemen of Georges Creek, the next
time that Cumberland orators tell you
that you are not only free and indie
pendent, but that you are actually
intelligent people!
But if the Neacs still keeps that line
drawn on Georges Greek sover-
eighty" what will it do with the A.
P. A.-that crystalized embodiment
of all that is good and sweet in the
Neaos' party9 Look, more particularly,
at the following propositions in the
latest promulgated "Declaration of
Principles:' =
Fourth-In defining and enforcing the laws
and in the definition of its jurisdiction and
powers We Dtdte Is supreme.
And this among the proposed Gains
and Purposes -
Third-To secure and maintain the suprena-
dcy Of the State as expressed by the voice of
the people.
Now, of course, Georges Creek is not
"the State" but the A. P. A, antici-
pating misconstructions and exaggera-
tons, takes care to declare the sover-
eighty of even the individual:
Secomd-The perfection of all law is the
recognition of the unit of lawful self govern
ment.
That is about what the JOURNAL
meant when it spoke of Georges
Creek sovereignty" 1t assumed that
''sovereignty" implies in this country
Il constituency of soverelgns, and this
notion was in print before the A. P. A.
had adopted it.
Now, then, what is the matter with
the A. P. AS "iver9"
And what is the Neos going to do
when the A. P. A. knocks out a pri
mary and convention system which
locates 'the sovereignty" of the county
where the least votes are cast9
This the A. P. A. is pledged to do,
else 1.-The unit of lawful SELF govern.
ment is not the perfection of all law"
Now let the Neacs "draw the line' on
the A. P. A, which is the latest incor-
poration of States Rights principles
and purposes, and there will be fun.
Go in, gentlemen-th JOURNAL will
hold your hats

The Difference.

The Piedmont CIV. Va Herald enjoys
some Cumberland Meas talent for
getting derailed.
Two or three weeks ago it said
the millennium is not to come to perfect
things earthly, but that perfect things earth
ly are to bring the millennium.
The Herald affirms; the JOURNAL
denies.
That is the difference between US.
In palmer terms, the Herald places
the cart before the horse the JOUR
NAL holds to the orthodox plan.
The millennium will be the fulilment
of prophecy rather than the result of
human effort.
God is the artisan, man the instru-
ment.
The JOURNAL glorifies the former
the Herald magnifies the latter.

How il Works Out West.

"Censor" is hereby informed that a
large delegation of the Canyon Creek
Miners Union lately visited the
Hunter silver mine, at Mullan, Idaho,
and informed the manager that if he
"did not at once put wages up to the
standard insisted upon in the Canyon
Creek mines the result would be the
destruction of the mine buildings and
probably his own serious injury or
death"
The wages were not put up, because
the demand for the ore did not justify
the raise.
The mine was closed instead, and
now the men who would take no ac-
count of the lack of demand have no
work at any wages.
From "Censor's" point of view,
there was some brutality at the bottom
of this disposition of the challenge OF
the Canyon Creek mine workers.
Hence, who was or who were the
brutes-the manager, the owners of
the mine, or the consumers of silver
ore?
1t would be interesting to have
Censor" designate the brutes in the
case, for we want to compare them
with the beasts who threaten destruc-
ton and death if the gospel of the
walking delegate is not believed and
obeyed.

COnuudPun.

A new political order. the "Knights
of Protection" is in the field. A meet
ing was held in Baltimore Monday
evening, concerning which the Meas,
of that city, says:
Congressman George l.. Wellington, of
Maryland, spoke briefly on protection at the
meeting last night Capt. J. Frank Supplee,
of Baltimore, vice-president of the order,
advocated the protection of labor by restrict
ing immigration.
1t is question whether Restricting
immigration" protects labor.
Good wages are dependent upon
good times.
Good times brings immigration.
Or, the propositions can be reversed.
Therefore, immigration is sure
token that good times prevail wherever
population increases from that move
ment
For instance, look at the figures TO,
three years of Eul opean immigration
to this country:
1872. ..... ........ ...................4 91 ,OOO

Doesn't that table tell significant
story9
And now the JOURNAL would like to
ask Capt. j. Frank Supplies order
Which is the better-good wages
and immigration, or low wages and no
immigration ?

Too Conservative.

One day last week John Burns, the
member of Parliament and labor
leader, had a pretty rough time at the
Hyde Park demonstration. A dis
patch states:
He was greeted with groans and cries of
"Traitor" Replying to this outbreak,
Burns SAID: "If you don't want TO hear me
will go home.' This was followed by cries
of go homeH' "You are no workingman."
John is evidently not an acceptable
walking delegate.
He had probably acclaimed some
where against the scheme of raising
wages by downing" 40 cents ton
with a club.

Change of Base.

The principal contention the Nems made
concerning the repeal Of the silver purchase
law was that it was not repealed by demo-
cratic votes.-Cumberland Nems
The JOURNAL. begs pardon, but the
NeacS is mistaken. Its ''principal" and
only contention was that more demo-
Gratis voted against than for repeal.
Besides, the JOURNAL never denied,
and never had occasion to deny that
the act was or could be repealed
wholly by democratic votes-no more
than the % republican yeas could have
repealed it without democratic votes.
The Neaos is an organ which sets itself
conclusively straight on questions that
have not been raised.
The JOURNAL declares, without giving the
vote, that the Record shows 90 democratic
Senators voting for repeal and 10 against it.
There were at the time A democratic Sen
ators, and we are unable to make 20 ma
jority of 44-Ibid.
Certainly you are, because that
strain was never laid on your knowl-
edge of arithmetic.
But the JOURNAL says democratic Senators
did not vote, but if they had voted, and if
everyone of them had voted for repeal,
which they would not have done, the law
would yet be on the books had the repub-
licans not supported it almost solidly.-Ibid.
AS before said, nobody denies that
and nobody has denied it, The Meas
wastes time and space controverting
statements the JOURNAL has never
made.
If there is any doubt about this, let
the reader go over this paragraph from
the Ne,os of March 25:
We must insist upon the truth of our state
ment that a majority of the democrats of both
Houses of Congress yOted against the repeal
of the silver purchase law, the averment of
the JOURNAL to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, Produce the record
The JOURNAL produced it-House-
yeas 13S; nays IA Senate yeas 20;
nays 10.
Let us go step farther. The NeDs,
writing in the imperative mood March
%, demanded proof concerning "Joth
Houses"
Writing May 6, however, in the
lodging mood, it says nothing of the
House.
Why?
Because there the democrats nollad
a majority of Ga for repeal.
In the interest of historical accuracy
osly, therefore, the JOURNAL requests
the conscientious reader to compare
the last paragraph quoted from the
Ne'os with the first and determine
whether the principal contention" of
May 6 is any kin to the one published
March %.

What Streets?

The Cumberland papers want an
itemized statement of city expendi-
lures. The Neaos asks about it this
way:
What became of that 1914 PA, sO-especially
the so cents? What did you do with the so
cents? Tell us that, anyhow?
1t is not the JOURNALS purpose this
time to ask-where did Cum berland
get that 1914, 900, but to call attention
to the fact that our own annual state
ment this year shows that last Council
had great talent for condensation-a
good thing in dlction, but unsatis-
factory in financial literature.
That 81, 300 on streets, for instance
how much on each street, and what

The Latest Surrender.

sponge and absquatulates.

Well, Georges Creek claims to have

Creek cannot admit that 1t lost its own
individuality in the hour and article
Of thrashing the JOURNAL out of its
franchises.
That sort of thing seems to be con-
fessed by the Nesos for itself, and, what
is worse-that it is still in the business
of being licked,

COMPULSORY Silence

Baltimore should be permitted to name the
Governor once in a while.-Baltimore News.
Well now we wonder If we know any
thing about it Baltimore has its say to the
lions share of everything that takes place in
the State, and then some -Hagerstown News.
That is arrant treason, or would be
if Baltimore were Cumberland and
Hagerstown were Frostburg.

keep their mouths shut.

The Monroe Doctrine

1t is said that President Cleveland, being a
close reader of the newspapers, is expressing
some anxiety to know who that man Monroe
was and what his doctrine is, and all about
it.-Cumberland NewS.
The President is informed that the
JOURNAL stands now where Mr.. Mon
roe did in 1923, and the Cumberland
dailies about where George Canning
did at the same time.
Mr.. Monroe told Mr.. Canning over
Spanish American shoulders to "keep
off our grass"

Great Attention to Little Things.

If it will afford the JOURNAL any comfort
in its wrestle with what it calls the Excessive
but salutary verdict in the famous COW case,
we can give it the assurance that there were
no Cumberland tiremen on the jury.-Cum-
berland News.
The Neaos takes too much trouble to
set things straight that have not been
questioned, and too little to right real
wrongs.
Had it discountenanced and DIS
couraged the grand ball suggestion,
Cumberland would have been saved a
vast amount of unhappiness.

Too Efusiyely Good.


The venerable Thomas Brown, of
Pompey Smash, writing to the Cum
berland independent, is generally dis
gusted with the idea that the vote of
this county will be unanimous for
Lowndes against Rayner. In a SEN
tence which his editor sholld have
edited, he says:
They have went so far as to say that if the
Hon. Isldor Rayner and the Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes are pitted against each other, no
polls need be opened in the mining region.
The JOURNAL did not go literally so
far. The polls must be held, of course,
both as a matter of gertrude and es
pecially of law.
But the result will be practically the
same.
Mr.. Rayner never exhibited his slop-
over craftsmanship more Extensively
than last winter when delegation
from this county asked him as a rep
resentative of Maryland interests to
take care of one of those intel ests.
He listened with brow corrugated
and bored. Then, with all the hauteur
of an eminent know-it-all, went into
the House and dashed himself into a
sweat of disloyalty to everybody who
had bothered him about anything.
The truth is, Mr.. Rayner is very
much over rated. He has imbibed
and asslmilated too much of the es-
TEEN in which he is held by his full
some friends He reports himself a
little too good, too pure and too loyal to
be a dabbler in politics. His vocif-
erous virtues, too numerous to men
ton, ought not to be forced into the
tempting environment of the gubel-
material Office.
But, in any event, if the democratic
vote of Allegany county is worth poll
ing next fall, the best way not to get
it out is to nominate Mr.. Rayner.

Not Opposed to Silver.

MOI OppOSeu TO silver.
A questioner at Eckhart asks the
JOURNAL
Why are you opposed to the use of silver
as money?
The JOURNAL is not "opposed to the
use of silver as money" On the con-
trary, it is strongly in favor of a
silver currency, just such as we have
-6acked by gold.
The silver dollar is not coin
intrinsically worth dollar, yet the
government is good enough to keep it
at par with gold by holding gold
dollar for its redemption.
Hence, all the nominal value that
silver has to-day it owes to gold.
But suppose the silver craze wins
and the Western mine-owners crowd
the minis with bullion, piU they eoant
siloer coin in erchange?
Not with the gold support with
drawn.
Will they want silver for all their
silverg
No more than the farmer wants
flour for all his wheat, and no more
than the Georges Creek miner wants
coal for all his labor.
The silver mine owner and miner
must, therefore, eventually have gold
for their pay.
They decry gold and denounce gold
bugs, but it is the gold the knowing
ones are after.
The knowing silverlte is not, there
fore, as honest as he ought to be.
He is the fellow that is making use
of well-meaning men, like our Eckhart
friend, "to pull his chestnuts out of
the fire.

An Appreciated Compliment.

Our esteemed Lebanon contemporary,
the Report, is pleased to say; The
Scranton Tribune has valiantly cham
ploned the Farr bill upon every occa-
sion with zeal worthy of u better
cause. In this respect, however. 1t
stands in painful loneliness. No other
journal has been nearly 50 vigorous
in its support"
Our contemporary, perhaps without
intending to do 50, pays this journal
signal compliment. 1t testitles to the
fact that The Tribune is not afraid
nor ashamed OF its opinions We do
not feel at all lonely; for we have the
happy companionship, in this matter
of thirty state legislatures; of the most
eminent educators of Europe and Amer
lea. and of very many of the leading
newspapers and magazines in Penn
sylvania and elsewhere. But even If We
were alone in our advocacy of the
rights of children to a free school edu-
cation. we should not feel deferred from
speaking what, according to our con-
viction, is the gospel truth on this sub
jecr.
An honest opinion, even when wrong
is infinitely preferable to milk-and-
water straddle or a voice muttled by
expediency.

An Eioauent Com pliment

From the Scranton Truth.
Tho resignation OF Colonel Il. II. Ripple
from tho command of the Thirteenth regl-
ment, deprives that splendid organization
of the services of capable and judc.ous
officer as well as a gallant soldier who en-
Joys In n marked degree the confidence
and esteem of every member of the regi-
ment. Colonel Ripple brought to his du-
ties as commander of the Thirteenth reg-
ment, with which he has been connected for
seventeen years, the experience of brave
soldier who served his country nobly and
suffered for her sake In the stormy days
of the civil war, 80 that his ideas of milf
tary life were not merely theoretical II
Is gratifying to know that he does not re-
tire from the National guard OF the state,
as he has accepted AN appointment TO the
office of commissGry general on the staff
OF Governor Hastings.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.
The Practice of Farming Ont Jobs Has
IIns Not Yet CeAsed.

Harrisburg, March G-The promise at the
opening of the legislature that the practice
of farming OUT places would be apoi-
ished has not yet been fulfilled. II the
roll of employees of either body were TO be
called Unexpectedly any day not 20 per
cent. of those drawing extrayagant sal
aries would be in their places ready TO re-
spond Except the most important posi-
tions, as chief clerk, resident clerk and
sergeant-at-arms, the offices are filled 10y
substitutes who do not receive anything
like the pay provided for by the state.
The salary of the employees who have
"farmed out" their jobs is not drawn in
person. but letters of attorney and orders
are given or signed by them to their sub
stitutes on the auditor general who issues
warrants for their pay in the name of the
attorneys, in fact. or those to whom the
orders are given. In this way the en-
poyes need never present themselves 10
the auditor general and they are no more
present in person TO draw their pay than
they are TO do the work for which they are
paid. There is a secret movement on foot
for the Introduction of a resolution In the
house to abolish this practice. direct the
attention of the auditor general and state
treasurer to these facts and request them
to see that these employees hereafter at
least present themselves in person for
their pay.
