Incorrect Definitions,

Under the heading of What They
Say the Cumberland Times gets off 26
observations, the last as follows:
That owing to scarcity of local news, the
reporter has ransacked his BRAIN and coined
the above, and the Frostburg JOURNAL dore
not say that they are not original.
The JOURNAL does not like the word,
"ransacked," as used by the Times. 1t
is a term too violent to be employed in
connection with a voyage Of discovery
across the unrutfled gray waters of a
brain so prolific of original memorabilia
as that Of the Times.
Again the JOURNAL mildly protests
against the notion of ''coining' any
thing from bullion of such diverse
characteristics. For instance, what
was the nature of the metallic mammon
from which this piece of currency was
minted p
That some boarders recently complained to
the andlady that the meat was so tough they
couldn't chew the gravy
The reason the JOURNAL inquiries is
it remembers having regarded that
little piece of lucre as an antique of
unknown age-so old, indeed, that il
was probably current in Babylon and
subsidiary only to the "stater," which
was used by Crmsus as legal tender
for the payment of hotel and restaurant
bills. How, then, after the lapse of
twenty-five centuries did that little
laughable memento of Lydian melting,
stamping and milling come floating
like shinplaster back here on the
gray matter of the Times for the first
time since the silver mono metalists
Of Phenicia snapped financial views
with the bi-metalists of Egypt and
Persia? If it had been counterfeit
one could account for its orr gin in this
day of intelligence and grace, but it is
Il genuine numismatic souvenir of an
age too honest to make or circulate
anything spurious.
Inc JOURNAL hopes the Times VIII
not soon again challenge SO rashly the
great papers knowledge of things that
care not original AS a venture
such dare" is not safe.
1t is hoped at these headquarters
also that the Times will remember that
it is most difficult, even by re-coinage,
to make Il gray-haired joke look new
and shiny.
Lastly, that "the very coinage of the
BRAIN according to Hamlet, is not
available as circulating medium.
1t is not Il measure of value, nor any
thing within the domain of civil or
commercial law. 1t is "ecstasy''-a
sense Of rapture beautifully imaged
as "a creation that is bodiless."

'DrInJS Hair RptSy PripU -

The prominent lawyer" with his opinion
that the civil service law with referendum at
tachment, is an unconstitutional measure, is
very much in evidence just now. Whether
their lawyers have ever heard of local option
laws passed subject to the approval of the
people we do not say. But if they are cor
rect in their opinion now, no local option
law that ever passed un Ter such conditions
was constitutional.
1t seems that the promoters of the Bruce
law are afraid that the people would not favor
the bill, and they wish to force it upon the
books against the will of the people. This
may be reform, but it is not in accordance
with the teachings of either of the great
parties.
An assessment law, nearly approaching the
Hayes BILL is now an assured fact. A new
election law is also in sight, as well as every
reform measure promised. What more could
the republicans do?-Annapolis correspond
cnt of the Cumberland Neus.
Treat each like they have the Bruce
biIl--attach referendum.

JOURNALISTIC.
Not Exactly.


"What They Say in the Cumber-
land Times is reported as making an
original observation with an interroga-
tive string tied to it like this:
That a man who minds his own business
will always have something to do. Wont
he, brother Oder?
Not necessarily.
The JOURNAL knew an editor once
who went out of his way to complain
of Press Comments" just because
after minding all of his own business
he had on hand some superAuous
thought and surplus energy.
That editor at that time had nothing
to do and he did it.
Hard to Answer-buI Answered.
About the toughest cross examiner
in this part of the JOURNALS jurisdic-
ton is e. r. Johnston. Listen, for
instance:
Editor Oder: Do you believe in the
election of the saints" or of democrats and
republicans?
The JOURNAL believes in the "elec-
ton of the saints" but the saints
ought to reglster--not only to qualify
themselves for voting, but to make
themselves eligible as candidates for
election.
The franchise without registration,
like faith without works, is dead"
AS to democrats and republicans,
the JOURNAL believes civil service is a
church that would sift the good out of
the bad of both parties.
And the good in. all cases ought to
be "the elect"
