Personal.

Robert J. Mcmahon, of Long Island
city, N. Y. called on the JOURNAL
Tuesday. He is an up-to date young
man; has correct views of politics, and,
though a strong democrat, knows how
to sink regularity" when principle is
at stake. He supported Seth Low for
Mayor. His father. the only Frank j.
in the State, has immense reason to be
proud of "Bob." DR.. Miller, of Cum
berland, accompanied Mr.. Mem.
The JOURNALS suggestion to the in
coming board of commissioners to
make Davisson Armstrong president,
evoked response from the county
press which ought to have great
weight.
DR.. J. Marshall Price, of this place,
attended the ''stag supper" rendered
Messrs. John G. Wilson. of Cumber-
land, and R. Amman, of this place. in
Cumberland Saturday evening. The
two gentlemen thus honored have re-
tired from bachelorhood and are at
this moment reveling in the soft light
of that short cycle in life's calendar
sweetly designated as "the honey
moon"
Capt. T. F. McCarlell, of the
Comptroller's office, Annapolis, was
the guest several days this week of
DR.. G. A. Smith, his son-in law. Time
is whitening his locks but abating
naught of the gingery element of his
mental makeup.

The Prospect.

Hon. D. E. Dick, having involved
himself unnecessarily in the Frostburg
post-office succession, evidently heard

day. AT any rate, before leaving he
became authority for the statement
that no appointment would be made
here until "some sweet bye and-bye,'
invisible even to the eye of faith.
This declaration sent Il very cold
chill down several spines.
But the JOURNAL does not regard
Mr.. Dick as an oracle on any subject
except the scheme to save this coal re-
gion from destruction by placing the
appointment of Mine Inspector in the
discretion of the primaries at Oldtown

Only One Ham.

OF Col. H. w. J. Ham, who will
open the Epworth League lecture
course here on Tuesday next, Nov. %,
the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says:
1t would be folly to attempt to convey to
the mind of the reader any adequate idea of
Ham lecture. 1t is cyclone of wit and
eloquence, and comes rolling. pouring out
with impressive fury There is only one
Ham. There may be others by that name.
but there is only one with all the alphabet
for his initials, and all the words in the Ian
guage for his stock in trade Indeed, he
uses many whose etymology may be some
what obscure, but whose force the most un.
schooled can feel. The jokes chase each
other, through his speeches like greasy
globules down pine plank and when they
reach the point the crowd goes into hys-
terics. Ham is inlmitabe. He is as full of
Jokes as Dublin is of billygoats, and he keeps
the audience in a roar from beginning to end.

Correction.

The Journal erred last week in re-
porting the sentences in the Gunter
cases. In writing the matter up from
the briefs given in the Cumberland
Neecs Richards case was Inadvertently
stated for Johns, and eice oe,so.
This matter is recalled by note
from a correspondent whose friendship
is highly valued by the JOURNAL, the
material portions of which are quoted:

which its usual accuracy makes so seldom

Thank SGiyinT.

Many reasons combine to make
Thanksgiving one of the two most
gladstone days of the year.
1t is the formal civic recognition of
the Infinite Goodness of Almightiness
to sinner and saint an impressive
reminder of vital fact-one which
might, indeed, make blessed yet more
days in the year.
To the latter especially it prefgures
an employment which will engage the
happy hours of the future lfe-that of
beatifc citizenship in the common
wealth of the finally blest. To them
There is a country just beyond life's river,
Whose beauties far exceed our fondest
dreams;
And yet sometimes in fancy we can picture
Its golden streets, bright flowers and crystal
streams.
We hear rare birds chanting their glad re
DeWm;
We see the loved who've crossed LIES
stormy tide,
And in our hearts we feel the blessed promise
That in that home we shall be satisfied
For such content it were meet that
Thanksgiving tower there shall be
everlasting.

The Frostburg Water company en-
joyed the fortune Monday to strike at
a depth of about 175 feet flow of
water running 3,400 gallons an hour.
The JOURNALS informant states that
''the water is free from mineral taints,
and is soft, having been tapped in a
layer of sandstone" 1t will be turned
directly into the mains, so that consu-
mers will be treated to spring water,
ever fresh and wholesome. The com
pany people are justly elated over the
fortunate outcome of its enterprise.

The Forum impeaches j. B. Crouch

Mr.. Crouch, who Attends the Council meet

agreed to furnish the Forum with brief ac-
count of the Council proceedings This brief,
he assures us, he mailed in the Frostburg
post.office. This paper waited its non arrival
until 1t was too late to insert report Of not
all OF what was said but was done there
Other mail matter has always reached us
promptly.
In this matter the JOURNAL stands
by Crouch-an accommodating gentle

If he had also told the Forum that he

Money.

The JOURNAL receives marked
papers from dear old schooImate and
army comrade in Texas, which betray
HIM as one of that numerous throng
of people who believe that the multi
plication of money is the specific for
hard times.
If he is the man he was boy, and
the JOURNAL has all reasons to believe
he is, no more honest, sincere, patriot
ic citizen lives.
Yet he is mistaken.
The use of money saves vast
amount of the labor involved in
barter.
In any exchange it performs dual
office-it measures and represents value
That is about all that can be devel-
oped from a discussion of the term.
How surfeit of the measure of COM
modities and an excess of the repre-
sentatioe of their value are to make
times really better we cannot see.
Will a multiplication in any ratio
of bushel measures affect in any way
the volume of the wheat crop?
And will a 40,crnt dollar alter ID
any way ID value which is always based
wholly upon demand?
These questions 60 to the root of the
matter-a point to which the JOURNAL
notices the free coinage people never
reach.

of the interminable procession of Cab

has paraded before him at Canton. He
must have exclaimed, with Macbeth,

led Of the very name of New York, even
though he might remember that New
York gave him numerically half the
popular majority he received and mol-
eyed contributions from its many
monopolies enough to account for the
other half.
There is scarcely a leading Republic
can in this State whose name has not
been proposed for the Cabinet. There
is not a protected interest of large eX-
tent which contributed to Boss Hanna
last fall which has not presented its
representative and choice for Cabinet
seat. They have all failed, because
they did not have Boss Platt's hearty
support. Why should the Republican
Senator from New York want Cabinet
officer appointed from New York? Platt
did not, and all the wOuld-be Cabinet
candidates must realize that fact by
this time Nor does Mckinley care to
put into his official family a man not
indOrSed by Platt.
But suppose they all want an Attor-
nev General friendly to the great trusts,
and can only get him from the New
York bar? Has that been what they
have been waiting for all these tedious
DAYS of conference and consultation at
Canton? The name of John J. Nc

scented for that office. The Sugar Trust
wants him. The Sugar Trust is said
