IN THE FRENCH DEPUTIES
Naval Budget Passed aud the Army Budget
Entered Upon.

Paris, Dec. 16.-The chamber Of depu-
ties today passed the naval budget.
Admiral Besnard, the minister of
marine, replying to- Admiral VaIlon, rep
Iesenting one Of the districts of Finis-
terre, promised to introduce schemes for
the defense of Cnerbourg and Brest.
During the discussion of the army bud
get, NJ. Jaures, Socialist deputy from the
Tarn. moved that the term Of military
service be reduced to one year.
General Billot, the minister for war,
opposed the motion. He said he could
not forget that the frontiers of France
were open; that one year ot service
would reduce the strength OF the army,
and in the present time the army must
be ready to take the field at any moment
The motion was rejected by vote CT
462 to 80.

GROVER HAS GREAT LUCK

Bagged by His Party.

Georgetown, S. c., Dec. 16.-The presi-
dent and party spent this morning hunt
ing ducks on the southern extremity of
South Island, their reward being 100
birds, of which the president brought
down sixty-one. President Cleveland al
SO joined in a deer drive, but not one of
the hunters got shot, owing TO the hign
water on the island. Better luck is an
ticipated, however, when they hunt on
the mainland, some time during the next
few days. The tender Wisteria brought
the party from the island this afternoon
to the Annadale club preserves, where
she ran upon a shoal and is grounded
until high tide. Big fiocks of ducks have
been flying into Muddy Bay or the big
marsh, where the party will be until
they depart. 1t is not definitely known
when the president will take his leave,
but Saturday is the time intimated.

hold-over members, and Duncan Sim
clair, of Midlothian, newly appointed,
organized Tuesday by re- electing Jacob
S. Jameson, president H. G. Weimer,

1t is also reported that
A delegation composed of a dozen colored
citizens appeared before the board and asked
for the erection of a new school building IN
Cumberland. The delegation was much en-
couraged.
A similar Westernport delegation
did not fare so well. They were told
That if they would secure lot not to cost
over 800 they would erect the desired build
ing for them.
A contract has been closed for the
site of the new $4,000 school building
to be erected at Eckhart, and the
Cumberland building contractors have
been advised that the usual proposals
will be acceptable.

all they could to promote the gayety

school examiner about II years and
his new term will carry him to SER
vice of about IA years. He has not
always met the hopes, aspirations and
ambitions of the JOURNAL for the
public school system, but he has for
the most part meant well. He has in
sisted on deciding easy questions in
the commissioners Office and leaving
the tough ones to the uncertain out
come of neighborhood scrimmages.
Right here on us now is this "Bible
Reading in the Schools" business that
ought to be settled at once, by the Board,
yea or nay-not for Frostburg only, but
for the whole county. The school
programme, like the school curriculum,
should be uniform all over. Hence,
gentlemen quit telling the benefciaries
of the several schools to "settle it
among yourselves" but assert your
own prerogativc and determine it for
all the schools.
The JOURNAL predicted last winter
the evil of shorter terms under the
blessed regime of free books, and the
prophecy is partly verified now in a
credible rumor that 7! months is the
figure for next year. Whether the
shorter term is traceable in whole or
in part to free books, the provision of
free books instils the notion that the
public purse is grab barrel. People
thereupon set out to get more than
they really want. Hence, the q
months, the last of the scholastic year,
is loss to the children for which
free books is a bowling mimickry of
compensation. When will the in
terests of the children be considered
first, last and all the time9

Preliminary Skirmisning.

FRosTBURG, MD, Aug. 5, 1896.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
If my friend, Rabbi Stern, had
challenged the Ministerial Association
of Frostburg to prove the wisdom of
their request to have the Bible read in
the public schools, the association would
doubtless produce their proofs with
pleasure.
Instead of that he came forward to
express his own objections against our
petition, and made the assertion that
''the Bible is sectarian book" the
truth of which l deny. An assertion
without proof has no weight whatever
in argument.
The burden of proof in this case
rests with him.
| would gladly oblige him by. pub
fishing copy OF the petition if | had
a copy. l was not at the meeting
when the matter was discussed and
the committee appointed to attend to
it. But our Secretary informs me
that 1t was short and plain-ouly
asking that the Bible should be read
in the Frost6ury public schools, leaving
the choice of version to the discretion
of the Board. The petition is now in
the hands of the Board.
If my friend, in his letter of the 2Sth
ult., meant by the term, ''conduct of
the schools" their system of discipline,
and by the term, ''progrum" the curricu-
lum of the schools Uhe terms are not
synonymous,) then | reply that we
did not ask to change one iota of
either. We simply asked that the
Bible should be read in the schools,
(not expounded) which is done in al
most all the schools of Pennsylvania.
We asked for no change-iust a little
addition to the opening services of the
school-no substitution of one thing
for another.
Mr.. Stern thinks it is not a very
difficult task to prove the Bible to be
sectarian. Let us have the proofs.
then, and the way will be clear to take
up the other parts of the controversy.
Yours very truly,
HENRY THOMAS.

A Lightning Stroke.

About 1910 yesterday afternoon the town
was startled by sudden flash of lightning
and crack of thunder. A cherry tree was
struck and wrecked in the back yard of P
S. Preston, on Broadway.
About 100 feet away Frank Metzger, walk
ing on the street, was stunned by the con-
cussion and laid up for several hours. The
first to reach him were Messrs. DAVIDSON
Armstrong and Otto Hohing, who thought
him fatally hurt, but Drs. Price and Jacobs
speedily brought him round.
A considerable portion of the flash was
seen to come down the spire and tower of
the NJ. E. Church edifice

Mistaken Wisdom and Incorrect
Honesty.

Labor organization are useless, say the fools
and the knaves They are no good, notwith-
standing that they are the only institutions
which bring relief to the masses of the wage
workers. Is it no good to lessen hours of toll
increase wages and aid each other when out
of work ?-Lonaconing Reyicw.
If that were all they did, "the fools
and knaves" would not object.
But the history of "labor organize
tions" in this region is unmarked by
the accomplishment of a single one of
the reforms mentioned.
If wage-workers here have really
gained anything in the way of shorter
time and enhanced wages it has not
been on account of organization. but
rather because they were not organized.
The JOURNAL does not know, how
ever, that employers have considered
the matter at all outside of what the
market conditions have enabled or for
babe them to do.
But it is pretty certain that all the
organizing, preambling and resoluting
that organizers and organized can in
dulge will never in themselves save q
drop of sweat in this region.
AS to "aiding each other when sick
and out of work. that is already done
by organizations specifically bene-
fetal organizations for instance,
whose constitutions and bylaws do
not contain those powers, written or
unwritten, which ''lessen houls of
toip by welding a club.
AS matter of cold, hard fact, labor
organization is not wanted in this
region.
What each and every man really
needs is all the work he can do, for as
surely as the sun shines there is no pay
IN single consumers pocket for the
"hours" that the organization wants
to subtract from those of toll.

by the subdued sound of a drum and the

HAYSEED STRATEGY,

Young made his first mile, however, in
$40, second in 3'O6, Porter beating
that time with ease.
But the most significant of all the
circumstances was the fact that 1t aoas
6noaon on the street before the race that
Porter eoas to aoin! The probability is,
therefore, that Frostburgers are little
too smart to wager OH man defeated
before the race comes off.
On the homestretch it was as much
as Young could do to keep from win
nlng, but he succeeded.
The trick is what is known in Penn

NOb All lSSuCs
Is it not humilating to the United States
that any considerable number of her citizens
should deny that this government Is not
strong enough, wise enough and courageous
enough to maintain a currency of its own :?
The idea of the United States, with its vast
territory and its seventy millions of people

mere spot on the map and with less than
forty millions of people !-Westminster (Md)
-Adyocate.
There is no such question before the
American people-certainly none
couched in either the tenor or tone of
the one before us.
The qualities of strength, wisdom
and courage have not been evoked in
any currency dispute we have with
England.
But the equities that exist between
sellers and buyers on the one hand
and buyers and sellers on the other
are at stake and the good name of our
government and people is imperiled.
We might own all the world except
the "mere spot on the map" and still
be fatally inferior to the "mere spot"
in the morals which furnish both the
warp and wool of the commercial
fabric.
AS to "a currency Of its own" the
government has probably never heard
n word from the ''mere spot" The
English care as little about the do
nestle medium of exchange here as
we do about the fate over there of
"the deceased wife's sister,"
But when it comes to imposing our
currency upon them at our own valu
alton, they may decide, as traders
often do, that "the deal is off''-an
outcome that may injure our repute

spots"
