Her UDfall.

About five years hence Lonacon-

this will be told by an estimable old
lrishman of his acquaintance
o, when me pretty daughter was lass,
Before she went to Central school,
She was as sweet and clipper little maid
AS ever broke slate or rule.
She used to gaily meet me at the dure,
Or swinging gleeful on the gate
But now, boo hoo she has no use for me-
She is high school graduate.

stereotyped vocally in the following
deplorable stanza:
o pity the poor, wretched old father
Opity the miserable old guy,
Who sent his only girl that is pretty
To a school that in languages is high.
She makes Latin remarks about me clothes,
She finds stylish fault wild me speech;
She talks of Greek, of science and high art,
And other things beyant me reach
Says me terbacker and me mug of beer
Are rude and quite indicate.
rue the day she set out on the way
To be high school graduate.

Mistake.

The coal combination that is being formed
at the South to regulate production and fix
prices in soft coal as the anthracite kings
do for the Pennsylvania product, gets its
license in part from the successful "hod-up"
of the Senate by German & Co. The 40 cents
ton duty saved for coal is enough to dis
courage the free competition in fuel which
the interests of consumers require.-New
York World.
That might be true if all the ICON
sumers" lived in the coastwise cities.
But it is universally conceded that
foreign coal, admitted free of duty,
would not come inland.
In which event, domestic coal would
enjoy real monopoly of interior con-
sumption and, robbed of its coastwise
trade, would have to make up the loss
by raising prices to local consumers.
Whatever may be said, therefore, of
the cheapening tendency of com
petition with foreign trade, generally
speaking, it is infallibly certain that
in the case of coal, and probably coal
only, free coal, if a competitor at all,
would destroy competition for itself on
the coast. and for domestic coal in the
interior.

HeCan't DO IT.

Would like to ask editor Oder about that
word, 'agnostic." How can man say II
know not without saying II hno~ that do
not know?"-Cumberland Courier.
The late Prof. Huxley claimed to be
the inventor of the word. "agnostlc," as
an antithetic of ''gnostic, a mind
reading professional. He had seen
that the latter was the representative
of class of pretenders who knew a
great deal that cannot be known,
and he meant that "agnostic" should
more literally describe their conceit.
Hence, the scholar who has at last
learned to say with truthful knoo that
| do not know" whether properly an
agnostic or not, has taken at least the
first degree in the requirement of true
knowledge.
This may not be an answer to the
CO~rier's question, but it Is an OBJ
servation of some moment to those
who wish to be honest with them
selves.

Capt. Thomas Brown errs in stating
that the JOURNAL was founded bv
Col. John Pickell. The name of the
colonel's paper was the "Frostburg
Gazette," which fourished from 1857 to
1861. During the succeeding 10 years
the town had no paper. The JOURNAL
was established in 1871 by J. R. Grove
and the incumbent .tactotum has been
here nearly "A years, and it really
looks now like it is here to stay.
What is equally cheering, it is an in
dependent labor paper of the deepest

Political.

Messrs. c. o. Towles, Daniel J.
Lapp and Peter Lemmert are said to
be candidates for the House of Dele
gates.
Which reminds the JOURNAL of a
couple of questions it has in soak for
all legislative aspirants, namely
l.. Your immediate predecessors per-
mitted bill to go through the House
and become law, making notices of
Georges Creek liquor license applica-
tons punishable only in Cumberland
will you, if elected, introduce and
use all honorable means to pass a bill
amending that law so as to direct such
advertising to be done where the
manifest object of the law dlctates-as
near home as practicable?
2, Theirimmediate predecessors per-
mitted bill to pass through the House
and become law, providing for pay
ment of Cumberland municipal election
expenses by the county-will you do
all in your power to repeal that law :?
There is not much money involved
in these proposals, but whole lot of
principle whose value cannot be es-
timated in dollars and cents.
You might enter also upon study
of the law which makes registration
printing a costly monopoly and get
ready to tell the people how you will
cheaper that business by giving other
people chance at it.
The JOURNAL has several more
questions in reserve.

Of these percentages 80 staid IN
Cumberland, and one-tenth managed
to escape.
The Times alone received four times
as much as got away from Cumber-
land; the Ne,cs three times as much,
and the rest twice as much.
And yet this is done by people who
"do not believe in sectionalism IN our
county affairs"
But, fellow citizens, it is an over
powering pity that there is not more
sectionalism up here of the kind that
will put commissioners in place who
will not be sectional.
1t is an almighty pity that in nearly
everything we trot along like little
wagon dogs under the Cumberland
cart.
God may forgive such truculency,
but there is nothing in the Scriptures
that leads to ground for a rational hope
of such All undeserved outcome.

Reassessment will not down, and the in
dications are that the people will demand it
at the State conventions or the polls.-Lona-
coming Re0jew.
The JOURNAL has come to believe
that if there is one thing this county
does not want just now it is re-assess-
ment.
The fixed expenses have been run
up so high that probably lowered as
sessment will give us a towering rate.
There is immense danger, too, that
the people who establish high schools
at other peoples expense will also ap-
point the assessors.

What 1t Is.

The local editor of the Cumberland
Neaos says:
With all respect for the erudition of the
JOURNAL we submit that grammar is not a
science. 1t is a humbug.
That will not do.
The best lexicons define grammar as
a ''science,' some authors as "doc-
trine," but the JOURNAL believes
grammar is more literally the philoso-
ply of language.
Hence, to write it down as "a hum
bug" is libel, probably minus malice
a sort of defamation which affords too
much comfort and encouragement to

ing to edit papers, ought to be hoeing

The democratic ticket promises to
be

more city.
For Comptroller-Marion deKalb Smith, of
Kent county.
For attorney General-Ferdinand Will
liams, of Allegany county.
If there is any change, it will most
likely be Ferdinand C. Latrobe instead
of Hayes.
On the republican side Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes, of this county, will almost
certainly be nominated for governor.

These are the days of fads in schools, when
all sorts of fads are being introduced, each
defended by profuse arguments to show its
indispensability to the pupil in his future
career. One Of the latest is in Western

the nature of contagious diseases and pre-
cautions necessary to avoid them.- Baltimore

That will probably be the next re-
sort in Homecoming.
Meanwhile, the bodied pupils
are to be stuffed with Latin and Greek,
preparatory, probably, to a classic
study of the difference between the love
of scratching and scabipho6ia.

Another disqualification.

The JOURNALS attention is called to
case lately decided by the Virginia
Court of Appeals and reported by the
Staunton Vindicator as follows:
This was an action for killing stock by the
defendant (railroadD while running through
the Enclosed lands of the plaintiff The court
holds that section 1858 of the code is an ex-
press mandate of the law reQuirimg the rail
road to fence its roadbed on both sides ,ciM a
Mmtm fence that section 1861 must be con-
strued in the light of chapter so, from which
it is taken. The court construed the law to
be that when the railroad fails to obey
the law by inclosing its road with lawful
fence, except where excused by the law,
then it is liable for the stock killed IN running
through the inclosed lands of the owner.
We cannot see how this applies to
our case-eXcept to strengthen our
side of it.
There is no parallel between ground
held for private use and ground oc-
cupied by railroad track. The COW
that trespasses upon a yard or garden
without peril cannot Craze upon a
railroad with the same exemption.
The situation changes radically.
So that the consideration which
does not oblige the citizen to fence
against cattle which destroy cannot
apply to the enginery which destroys
cattle.
In the case cited it is clear that the
law regards the locomotive as the nat
ural enemy of the COW; therefore, it
is the locomotive which must be
fenced in.
In our case it is equally clear that
the cow is the logical foe of the yard
and garden; therefore, it is the COW we
want fenced in.
Instead of against the JOURNAL, the
decision should be quoted by the few
owners of COWS against themselves.

Probably the UnattainabIe.
The Baltimore Ne,os still does "no

The Baltimore Neecs still does mot
entirely agree" with the JOURNAL
as to the deeper political complications
that would be encountered in electing School
Commissioners and Trustees. For instance,
in the Allegany case, the patrons of the
schools would have chance to say at the
polls whether or not they Endorsed the men
and measures now in controversy.
Very true, but it is to be feared that
if "the ns'-benefciaries is
better term-had the "chance to say,'
they would make bad worse There
is some check upon party cupidity
now; then there would probably be
none.
At another point the Meas says:
A few men of independence and clear
Medicines should be sent to the next
General Assembly to watch out for the usual
"snaky' school legislation, and to advocate
measures tending to the promotion and
publication of the public school system.
A vain suggestion for this county.
In the last House of Delegates five
men not only permitted but helped
through a scheme that unsettled in
this country each teachers tenure and
put his and her future in the keeping of
the malevolent junta that exists in
more or less degree in all communities.
1t remained for Gov. Brown to see
and "scotch" the snake.
The names so far mentioned for the
next House promises no better.
What Allegany county wants are
l, Three competent Commissioners
actually lnterestedin securing the great
est available scholastic efficiency.
2, An Examiner fully competent to
perform al the duties laid down for
him in the law, and who will confine
his work exclusively to those duties;
and
3, Enough money to run each school
of not over thirty pupils ten months of
the calendar year.
To meet these wants the law would
not have to be changed.
Nor its methods.
Let the Governor bring to his iudg
ment in the appointment of Commits
sioners the same considerations that
induce his selections of judges when
judicial vacancies are to be filled.
Let the Commissioners do the same
thing when an Examiner and Trustees
are to be appointed and assistant
teachers selected.
Let the Examiner leave the election
of principals wholly to the Trustees.
And reject all applications backed
by influence" remembering that in
nine of ten cases Influence" is a
backing by illlteracy of illiteracy for
the benefit of illiteracy.
