The Job Printer as an Editor.

In that appeal to the Public"
which should not have been 'an APP
peal" at all, the job printer wofully
misedited the Mayors manuscript.
This is pity for two reasons
/, The occasion of the so-called zap
peal" is one of vital Importance, and
2, The dignity of the municipality
is not preserved by extremely bad
proclamation rhetoric.
The Mayor states, or is made to
state premise as follows
1t having become known that sundry per-
sons and numerous dogs and other animals
in this locality were recently bitten by a
certain dog since ascertaned to have had
hydrophobia, thus putting in jeopardy the
lives of people residing in Frostburg and else
where in this vicinity.
The job printers's acquaintance with
the relation which exists, for instance,
between preamble and resolution, was
not intimate enough to convince him
that a full stop at the end of the
sentence quoted is a complete divorce
of Whereas from "resolved." The
reader, therefore, who feels as we'll as
suspects that something important is
missing must ignore the full stop and
60 on:
All persons owning or having the care of
dogs are urged to have the same Immediately
muzzled or securely fastened up until the
first day of September next.
What the Mayor intended to say
was
st having become known" etc.,
''all persons owning" etc.
There are blemishes of expression,
too, which should not appear in the
towns communications to the people.
"Frostburg and elsewhere in the vicin-
ity" is not allowable, nor is ''the same,"
instead of the shorter and simpler
them, passable.
The Mayor next and last emphasizes
his injunction
In view of the danger that may result from
permitting such animals to run at large, all
good citizens are earnestly requested to see
that this course Is at once adopted and con
sistently carried out.
Why "all good citizens?" Why ex-
empt the bad
And, after such Il break. wherein
comes the relevancy of the adverb,
consistently
These few remarks, most probably,
will not be appreciated at their true
value by some, but there is no phobia
much worse than an inoculated dislike
of good English.
The towns proclamations, therefore
should be at once exemplary to the
young and occasions of pronuncia-
mentory pride to the old.

The CAUSE OF LYNcH1NG.-A Young
man by the name of Charles Gleber
was murdered in cold blood 10 New
Orleans bya burglar on last MONDAY
night while defending the house of a
friend. Several parties of the bus.
glar fraternity have been arrested
and charged with the crime, but ten
to one they will never be convicted,
or, If so, may get Communication of
sentence or pardon, particularly if
they have money or political pull
to shield them. No wonder that
lynch law is so often resorted to in
many places, because often iuries
will not favor the death penalty :;
then there is the insanity dodge as
the last resort, or plea for pardon
TO escape condigu punishment
Murder is becomming too common,
and it is full time that this maudlin
sentiment for red-handed murderers
should be done away with. Let iuries
be fearless in the discharge of their
duties, and let the sentences be
promptly executed; then, and only
then, will the majesty of the law be
vlndicated and human life be pro-
tected from cowardly murderers.--
