Word comes from Washington that
the powers have agreed upon James
M. Sloan for sub-tleasurer at Balti-

numerously occasional patriot who has
been seeking the place for himself,
will object. Sloan is man who has
been doing political good for others all
his life. He once ran unsuccessfully

a Plain Case.

The controversy over the $7.29 is
easily explained.
The clerk placed it where it belonged
in the Water fund, aggregating
81, 7G0.94.
The treasurer reports that aggregate
as 81, 1886.
Difference, 1929.
Hence, it is evident that when bailiff
paid it he erred in returning it as be-
longing to the corporate fund, or the
treasurer erred in so placing it.
Metaphorically, it got into the wrong
pOcket-that's all.

r.. Il.

Contrary to all history the game
here last Saturday by the Homecoming
and home teams was played through
without Il hitch or jar. Although
the Frost burgers made enough runs to
win two or three ordinary games, they
permitted their competitors to make
four more, the score being Is to II,
favor of the latter.
The home team demonstrated one
fact-namely, it has corps of strong
er hltters than ever opened season
here. On the other hand. its base
running lacked that Judgment which,
after all, is the greatest essential to
successful play.
1t is to be hoped that in time the
boys will be in training sufficient to
give a much better exhibition than
they afforded last SATURDAY.. The
JOURNAL, therefore, welcomes their
assurance that "the Homecoming club
has gotten the last as we'll as the first
game from Frostburg this season."
The manager has received a fatter-
ing offer to visit Everett on Decora-
ton day, but he prefers 20 play at
home If arrangements can be made to
have a good game.
The contest for the gold medal offered
by e. l.. Betz, is now on. DIN Gun
nett and David Williams are tied for
the prize, each having made three
runs in Saturdays game.

The Remedy Worse than the Disease.

The Remedy worse than the Disease.
1t is the boast now and then of the
Bryanesque democracy that "Andrew
jackson crushed the money power
and that some such heroic man and
measure are needed now to arrest the
encroachments of the moneyed inter-
ests upon the popular welfare.
But these people know not what
they talk about. They do not know
that jackson forced the United States
Bank to enter the lists politically
against him, and that he then throttled
it on the pretext that 1.-THE bank in
politics is a dangerous institution
But it is more to the purpose to
state that the results of Old Hickory
vindictiveness, inherited by the Van
Buren, administration, fell upon all
industrial interests, especially agri-
culture, with crushing" weights
heavy, indeed, that when Van Buren,
ran for his second term he was over
whelmingly beaten. The people held
his administration responsible for the
hard times, including the panic of 1897 +,
which followed Jackson's "crush of
the money power"-the very people
whom jackson regarded as having
authorized him by reelection in 1886
to ''smash the United States Bank
This bit of history shows that the
people in those days were quite as
gullible as they are to-day; that they
can be persuaded that all the ills of
government are the effects of causes
that have just TRANSFERRED, or are about
to transpire, and, what is worse, that
the cure for tariff ridden, trust
burdened country is an irredeemable,
finally uncurrent dollar.
The JOURNAL does not sympathize
with ''the United States Bank" idea,
nor does it deplore the fate of an insti-
tuition speciously designated as "dau-
gerous." But it does grieve over the
result when it is cited as an example
to be followed now in "crushing the
money power" This is an element to
be dealt with without "crushing' it.
The people who cure commercial
wrongs by smashing commerce commit
suicide as certainly as the man who
butts out his brains to relieve the head
ache.
And just as certainly as we resort to
free coinage of silver at any ratio as a
remedy for current ills so surely will
the tragic history of Jackson's "crush
OF the money power" written during
the last three years of his despotic
reign and enacted in Van Buren's
time, be repeated. Elect Bryan in
1900 and in 1901 the people will con-
sign his name and memory to the
realm OF those presidential shades
whose administrations counted nothing
In the progress of the country.
That there is wrong somewhere in
governmental management of money
affairs istoo true.
But to ''crush" the system by reduc-
ing the value of the dollar, or by any
other summary measure, is to multiply
the wrong thousand fold.

A Romantic Matrimonial Venture

Ernest Nickel, junior proprietor of
the Frostburg Building and Cabinet
Works, reached home Friday of last
week from Gallon, Ohio, accompanied
by Miss Lena Dunz, of that place.
The same evening they were married
at the residence of his brother, w. j.
G. Nickel, by Rev. G.. A. Britt.
Several stories are eXtant to the
effect that these young people became
acquainted through the agency of one
of those supernumerary institutions
known as matrimonial bureaus" but
this is not true, as will be seen from
the following report from Gallon
COD paper, endorsed by Mr.. Nickel as
"nearer the truth" than any he has
seen:
Nickel, it is said was travelling in Ohio
about two years ago and met Miss Dunz ON
Il Big -Four train. He had occasion to render
her some trliiing service and the acquaint-
ance began. On leaving the train Nickel
was granted. The letters grew more frequent
and one day last summer Nickel called on
Miss Dunz, then pretty miss of seventeen
summers. The correspondence continued
and Il few days ago Miss Dunz impaired the
information to Il lady that her lover would
call on Sunday.
He did not call, however, but arrived in
fba f.it\ otn in al OF
the Central hotel.
On Monday Nickel sent a message to his
sweetheart, whcrcupon she Immediately
packed her Trunk and had it taken to a
neighbours so that no suspicion as to her
proposed course of action might be aroused.
This information was conveyed to Nickel,
who sent Il drayman to take the trunk to the
Erie depot.
Later in the afternoon on Monday Miss
Dunz called at the Central hotel and enjoyed
Il promenade with her lover and they took
supper together.
In the evening they took walk, returning
later to the hotel, whence they were driven
to Erie train $ and started for the groom's
home in Maryland.
The rest has been told, except that
Mr.. Nickel says he is %. his bride in
her 18th year. He says also:
expected to have quite large wedding
upon arrival home, but was informed that
there was not sufficient time for that, as
lena's papa was after us. So we had to
make short work oft Still we had larger
time than | expected under the circum-
stances.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nickel will go to house
keeping in his house on McCulloh
street soon as it can be be obtained
from tenant. Until then they will
stay with the family Of his brother,
w. J. c. Nickel.
That Mr.. Dunz, the brides father, is
interested in Ernest now to laudable
degree is evident from the text and
tone of several letters of inquiry he
has addressed postmaster Benson.
Speaking for itself, the JOURNAL is
much disposed toward congratulating
Mr.. Dunz upon the acquisition of
Ernest rs a son-in-law, as it believes
he will make as loyal husband as he
has been an Industrious, enterprising
workman.

Florence Items.

From the Florence Miner.
Owing to the want of new shoes
and dies the Ozark mill is tempo
rary closed down.
A three days run on Waverly
ore by the two stamp mill resulted
in a $3.50 clean up. This speaks
well for the value Of the ore.
The hoist on the Blossom was
started Monday morning, and two
shifts are at work sinking the
shaft which is now about 1875 feet
deep.
Messrs. Carney and Gilbert have
struck very large body of. ore in
the Benton claim, on Shissle,
creek, which it is reported pros.
poets well.
Excellent ore is being extracted
from the bottom of the new shaft
on the Cleopatra. There is nc
good reason to doubt that the mine
will be a great property when de-
veloped and we hope to see il
worked all winter.
j. p. Fitzgerald has made
another important strike in the
Leland claim. This is one of the
coming mines of Florence and at
no distant day will be worked on
a large scale with profit to all in
terested in the property.
A 4 foot vein of ore was en-
countered in the Bullion mine
while assessment work was being
done recently. The ore shows
much native silver, and will no
doubt, assay several ounces per
ton. The owners of this property
have from year to year allowed
this valuable property to lie idle
owing to the low price of silver.
When silver is restored to where
it belongs the Bullion will be one
of the great mines of Idaho.
Mike Green returned to camp
few days ago and is now at work
on the Anna mine, where a rich
body of ore has been discovered.
Friend Mike is very much in the
swim at present and it would take
strong eloquence to convince him
that mining isn't the best business
in the world, and he is convinced
that Florence is the exact spot
where Providence stood while
scattering gold through the uni
verse.
John Lamont and T.. II. Far
mum are running tunnel on the
Lamont claim south east of the
Banner which they expect will tap
the vein ut considerable depth by
being run about 175 feet. The
Lamont is one Of the coming prop
critics in camp. Considerable work
has been done at various points on
the ledge and shaft has been
sunk to the depth of 40 feet, which
exposes a well defined ore body
about four feet wide, carrying high
value in gold.

reignsd Deafness.

In a regiment in India private
wanted to get home and saw no other
way than shamming deafness. He re-
ported himself sick and was sent to the
hospital. The doctors tried all sorts
OF ways to find him out, but he was too
sharp for them. One day the doctor
determined to try him by firing pistol
OF just behind him, but he got to hear
OF the experiment and of course was
prepared for it. AS he and his chum
were sitting on their cots opposite each
other smoking the doctor stole into the
room unawares as he thought, and fred
the pistol close to his ear. He, how
ever, took no notice of the report, but
on seeing the smoke he turned to his
chum and said: Put your pipe out,
you fool. the doctor will be round d.
rectly." His ruse worked.-N. Y. Post.
