GENERAL NEWS.
One of the Causes.


The historian who shall look care
fully into the causes of the strength of
the silver movement in the United
States in the year 1896 will find that
one of the most potent elements was
the jealousy and hatred felt by demo-
cratic leaders for President Cleveland.
A great many reasons can be supplied
for this hostility. 1t began in his first
term, when he refused to consider that
his duty asa democratic President was
to satisfy democratic hunger for office.
1t was augmented by the irritation
which old political bosses like the moss
back senators felt at seeing new
man in the party compel Its obedience
to sound doctrine against the opinions
expressed by themselves and by many
of their constituents, as Mr.. Cleveland
did IN securing denomination in the
face of his denunciation of free silver,
and in compelling the repeal of the
Sherman act against the personal
wishes OF so many senators. 1t is only
natural, in view of all this, to find all
the senators who have sought occasion
to oppose the President Gas on the
tariff question: drifting one by one
into the Bryan camp. German logic
ally belongs where he has gone !;
Faulkner marches with his captain,
and Smith, of New Jersey, practically
places his banner on the Bryan wall
as he hurries on to Europe. 1t need
surprise no one if other Cleveland
senators very speedily join in the
same procession. The Nation.

etc., and over $50 miles of railroad
$2.54. Now give the railroad "the
40 cents subsidy" and there is left So IA
for all concerned-no enough to buy
their salt.
But "the Accent subsidy absurdity
is further illustrated by the fact that
coal is sold and delivered IN Cumber-
land 30 cents less per ton than in
Frostburg.
The subsidy either plays part here
or it does not.
1t it does, who gets 1.-THE railroad.
which obtains at least 20 cents less
than the teamster, or the teamster I?
Ii 1t be the latter, where does Mr. Will
sons declaration that ''the railroads
get it" come In? Or, does the teamster
get really only 10 cents for hauling.
the 40 cents being gift?
If the subsidy does not reach out
here, to whom does it go-the miners
whose wages are not raised by it, or
the owners, whose price at the mine
must be the same to all9
This, the JOURNAL admits, is not
the highest style Of argument. but to
fully meet The dodgers claims, it can
be no higher.

For the information of the Cumber-

other republican or professional labor
shouters the JOURNAL will state that
the 'two-weeks pay Act" is neither
republican nor professional labor

This can be proven by the 1G-page
dodger, elsewhere alluded to, which
says
This law was first proposed by the pop
nlists of Allegany county in their county
platform of 1885,

The JOURNAL erred last week in
stating that John Heating died at
Sylvan Retreat, this county. He died
at Mt. Hope Retreat, Baltimore coun
ty. The JOURNAL was fortunate in
getting the name right, as the first re-.
port that reached the Office was "John
Cain died in Cumberland yesterday"
The Intelligent" informant is often to
blame for such mistakes.
Owing to pressure of outside duties
many topics slenderly treated this
week, and some unavoidably omitted.
Henry Gerken gave the JOURNAL a

Lewis M. Biggs, a colorcd sound
money man, brought a vegetable curl
oslty to this office yesterday-a cab
bage stalk carrying 16 heads of cab
bage. w. r. Coyner was present and
insisted that it should be put down
plain as a "lG to 1er." So here it is,
but as all the heads are small, the stalk
did not, after all, produce as much cab
bage as there is in a standard head.
Biggs, however, seems to be garden
er from way back. His curiosity is
on exhibition in one of A. F. Parker's
