A Bad Policy,

In the office of every democratic county
journal of Maryland is kept a lot of those dis
tinguished Baltimoreans who knitted the
democratic ticket in 1895, 1896 and 1897. The
list will be held for future reference, should
the occasion require. If these gentlemen are
wise they will not seek honors where the
counties of Maryland are concerned.-Cum
berland Times.
And yet, without these and the dis
tinguished" out of-city people "who
knitted the democratic ticket" etc, the
democratic party cannot win.
Will it not be better, then, for the
wanderers to return to "the faith once
delivered to the saints" themselves
without knives?
Will it not be better to leave out
German and stand for Maryland
For the men who "knifed" German,
not the party, We're never better off
under Gormanism than they are under
republican rule.
And if showing of razors fore
shadows resumption of the Gormanic
regime and policy there wont be any
more Gormanism.

He is Right,

Dr.. John 5. Fulton, secretary of the

Monday evening. Not much of the

1t is understood, however, that he backe,
up his report, tooth and nail, and fatty told
the council that the Potomac could never be
made fit for drinking or any other purpose,
except as drain.
True as the everlasting gospel
a lot of people in Cumberland,
many of them gone daft for unsound
money, are equally wild for pure water
out Of a stream that can never be dis
infected.
The JOURNAL has been making the
same contention all the time, and it is
glad to know that it is right.

AnODiect Lesson,

Theory is good thing, but prac-
tice is better"
This old axiom is in substance veri-
fed by the following interesting obser-
vations of the Fairmont CIV. Va.)
Inder, lately printed:
We never thought there was much good
sense in miners, who had no personal griev-
ance, quitting work to help some other fell
lows who were in trouble, and results which
are now happening shows that our view was
right. Fairmont miners refused to 90 out
through sympathy for the strikers in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, They remained at work,
got good wages and now are well prepared
for the winter. The kanawha miners
thought differently. They struck through
sympathy. They have been idle for many
months and are without provisions and now
the operators are trying to evict them from
their houses. They did all this to please the
strikers in Ohio and Pennsylvania, who dur
ing this time have adjusted their grievances
with their operators, and are busly at work
and are leaving their friends down in Ka-
nawha severely alone. There is no strike in
Pennsylvania and Ohio out of sympathy for
the kanawha miners. Not a bit of it, This
is an object lesson for all of the miners of the
State
Never bestow a charity with the
hope Of some time becoming a bene-
ficiary of charity.
For no matter whether such an in
vestment succeeds or fails, gentlemen,
you are going to get left.

On the Ragged Edg

The JOURNAL notes with joy close
kin to pain the aspirations of Hon.
James Campbell, of this county, to the
Speakership of the House of Delegates.
Wishing no possible harm to Mr..
Campbell, the great paper trembles
whenever 1t sees man yearning to
take bite whose magnitude may sue
cessfully defy all the salivary and me-
chanlcal forces of mastication.
This is, therefore, a time of great
suspense at these headquarters-a state
Of anxiety which will be made the more
poignant if Mr.. Campbell wins.
And as this condition wears and tears
more than all others, the JOURNAL
fears it will gradually fail in health
until adjournment of the House is a
historical fact.

"The People Not to Blame. :"

The JOURNAL takes the liberty of
reproducing several interesting para
graphs of a private letter written by a
prominent Virginian, mainly because
they are very readable:
congratulate the people of Maryland on
the overthrow of German. l felt would
like to see him returned to the Senate until
last year when he so ANONYMOUSLY sur
rendered what seemed to be his convictions
on the money question to mere eXpediency
and at last came out squarely for what he had
few weeks before condemned, and consented
to run Bryan's campaign, advocating what
he could not possibly believe. Then | con-
cluded he was what he had been charged
with-a trimmer of the worst type, beside be-
ing a boss.
But he made the mistake of his life when
he wrote the letter to the SIN. That was a
puerile piece of politics, if you will pardon
the ALTERATION.
Let the independent newspapers of Mary
land keep up the fight for an honest dollar
on stable standard and pure politics, and
the time can't be far distant when the people
will settle definitely that, whatever else they
may endure, they will not have an unsound
currency.
One mistake | feel that the sound-money
people are making is that they are not now
spending the time between campaigns in ex-
posing the fallacy of free silver. The people
still need light and need it badly. If all the
papers would follow the example of the S,,,
and the MINING JOURNAL and keep hammer
ing away at it, and showing up the incon,
sistencies of Is to /, we would find by 1906
the voters would laugh it down. The peo
pie are not greatly to blame. Free coinage
was new and catchy idea and they took the
nostrum because the doctors in charge said
take it,"
The JOURNAL agrees with the cor
respondent in the apology he makes
for 'tbe people," except in that the
mass should not include those pro
fessionals who ought to know better.
1t is uncomfortable that editors, law
yers and even preachers could have
been and still are gulled by the
specIous fallacies which word-paint
the beauties of flexible dollar.
Hence, the JOURNAL honestly be-
lieves that no lawyer who has given
adhesion to so dangerous a sophistry
ought ever to be politically forgiven.
