Slow Progress.


The Cascade Miner, Roslyn, Wash
ington, of the 10th inst, contains an
other letter from James Heron, dated
at Middle Lake, Alaska, Sept. IL.
The paragraphs below comprise the
most interesting portion:
We are now ten miles from Lake Bennett,
where we take the boat to go down the river
to Klondyke. We expect to be ready to sail
on the 20th or sooner, if we don't have any
accidents, as we are now Is miles down from
the summit. We can get along much faster
on this side of the summit than we could on
the other. The grade is gradual and the
road better than the other side.
1t has been raining again for three days.
The clouds and fog get down to the ground
on the summit and you can scarcely see the
trail. We move our tent about every five
days or 8 miles and leave our goods in a
pile on the side of the trail and cover them
up with heavy canvass; then start and pack
them to the tent until we get them all there
then we move the tent farther on again, and
so on along the way. There is large ice
berg on the side of the mountain back of our
tent; last night it started to slide down; it
cracked and roared like big thunder storm
The mountains all along the trail are bare
rocks, no trees no grass or any soil on them
like there is at Roslyn. We have our cook
stove inside the tent and we can dry our
clothes and keep comfortable, but we have to
work every day, rain or shine, for the time is
getting short to get down the river 1t has
showed all around us on the mountains for
two weeks and it keeps coming down little
closer all the time

From all accounts Gen. Fairchlid is
making immense speeches. Some say
his humor is actually dangerous. A
man at Barton contracted a case of
lockjaw from laugh at California
joke and one of his friends had to ride
a mile before he could find a doctor
who carried key that would unfasten
the combination.
The JOURNAL does not wish to be
understood as taking any part in the
contention that it is better to vote for
John Schaidt for county surveyor on
account OF his superior requirements
and greater experience as surveyor,
compared with those of the nominee,
c. G. Watson. But enough people do
insist that the county's interests re-
quire his election to warrant him in
advertising his candidacy in the JOUR.
NAL implicitly to that effect-a dis
elimination which obliges the JOUR-
NAL to call attention to the merits of
the matter.
Those people who are crying for a
JOURNAL supplement every week ought
to know that many things cannot be
done without provocation.

Messrs. Clabaugh and Mudd the form

More Good Words,

John e. Knapp, president of the
Maryland coal company told the Cum
berland Ne,cs Tuesday of last week that
he had recently
made a tour Of the New River coal dis
trict in Virginia and various other regions,
but none in his opinion could be compared
to the Georges Creek fields. For modern
methods and intelligent, thrifty mine work
ers, with all the home comforts of progress
sive community the Georges Creek region,
he said, was without peer.

for all, that Frostburg has Il monopoly

is, this town is SO bloated with pride
on that score that even the finger it
points with has become almost useless

COUNTY NEWS.
I'Olly,

The late grand jury was a daisy.
The report shows that 307 witnesses
were examined and 81 true bills found.
Nothing could be found against the
Sheriff, but some "wild-hoss" investi-
CATION developed a report of "gross
neglect and incompetency on the part
of the Mine Inspector But, as Judge
Sloan remarked, they should not have
referred to that matter at all except
to indict upon proper testimony. AS
the matter stands, the Inspector has
no opportunity to pat the heroic gen.
tlemen on the stand who made the
Charges" When, however, the people
of the Pine Hills and Sang Run are
invested with the appointment at the
primaries there will be competency
and attention to duty to burn.
Inducements to invest in manufac-
turing establishments got black eye in
the Indictment of the Luke pulp-mill
company for polluting Potomac water.
Instead of going off 10, 20, 80, or
even 40 miles for good water, Cumber-
land people essay to destroy great
industry and then fail in their object.
Afterall this foolishness the jury con-
verted itself into mutual admiration
society. An officer was given two sill
yer pieces, member a recherche scarf,
and the States attorney collapsed un-
der the affectonate weight of two
boxes of fine cigars. The foreman
wasn't so lucky. He got a vote of
thanks for which he returned thanks
very poor pay both ways-just like it
would be with the silver mine owners
if they had to take silver for silver.
Then followed 'auld lang syne," tears,
parting and hoping to meeting again.

A Maltrcated Memory.

Pity the memory of Thomas Jeffer-
son.
The great apostasy at Chicago last
year has been fruitful of all sorts of
populists had, it is true, claimed
theoretic descent from the .Jetfersonian
idea, butt was reserved for the nation
al democracy to absorb populism and
even put on some of the latter's cast off
clothes.
Later we have Horace Boies ex-
pounding silver bullion democracy,
and, still later, Henry George running
the single-tax idea under the auspices
of "the democracy of Thomas Jeffer-
SON."
If the immortal auther of the Dec
laration of Independence could return
and look upon the vagaries of his
political descendants, he would almost
repent the stately rhetoric with which
he indicted King George of tyranny
over those whose fright to be Free
has been so sadly misused.
The only true democracy is that
whose platform in 1896 was fashioned
after the models of hundred years.
Vote for Responsibility.
Voters should not omit to make
themselves heard in the matter of the
proposed Constitutional Amendment.
Vote for it.
The same principle which gives you
educated schoolteachers is at stake,
and almost the same demand for com
petent public service is involved.
Indeed, to be loud supporters Of the
public school system, as some are who
are opposing an educated civil service,
is qualification which implies that
after all education is to be no advant-
age to the young.
The two premiums which should
command the privilege of oflice-hold-
ing are perfect competency and I'M
sullied merit.
There should certainly be no com
petition between these endowments or
qualities, CT both, and ignorance and
unworthiness, or both, for the high
privilege of serving the people.
Vote for it.

IT IS VERY EXCLUSIVE
A Council Of the Society Of
Colonial Wars Organized
in This City.
The Affair Was Conducted at the
Turkish Consulate by H. 0. Collins,
Governor of the State Society.

In San Francisco there has been
organized a chapter or council of the
Society OF Colonial Wars. This society
is regarded as one eminently exclusive,
and in a certain sense highly aristocratic.
There is one general society in the United
States and each State is entitled to organ
iZe a subordinate society. From the ear
liest settlement OF North America until
the beginning of the revolutionary war
many residents OF this country served the
crown of England either as Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, member of the
Kings Council, or the general courts,
while others distinguished themselves in
the military service Of colonial wars. De-
scendants of these iIlustrious ancestors
may join the Society Of Colonial Wars pre-
vlded that Il character of the applicant t
is above reproach and his manners are
agreeable.
The State Society of California, which
was established three years ago By con-
sent OF the general society, is located a;
Los Angeles.
Holdridge o. Collins, who occupies the
honored position Of governor of the Cali
fornia society, came TO San Francisco a
few days ago for rest and respite from
business cares. He knew that among the
mem bers of the or Ter residing in San

For the general good OF the order it was
thought best that San Francisco should
have local organization.
Accordingly meeting to organize
local chap'er or council was held
at the office OF George f. Hall,
the I'm perial Consul-General of Turkey.
Governor Collins ca led the meeting 10
order and Judge McKinstry was elected
chairman. 1t was resolved to establish a
local branch Of the order and George E,
Hall was elected official secretary. In due
time Other officers will be chosen.
