What Might Have Been.

We too have regrets. We regret that the
JOURNAL editor thought it necessary to be
personally unfriendly in order to be publicly
antagonistic. We have never been accustom-
ed to such journalistic ethics, and if our i'm
preston be ill-fonnded it would be gratifying
to know it.-Frostburg Ncws.
The JOURNAL has not been really
"unfriendly," but it has been alone 50
long that it is in love with solitude and
enraptured with hermitage.

Not Yet Dead,


FRosTBURG Md, August 81, 1897.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Can anyone explain why so many
Frostburg republicans are happy over
the defeat of Senator Wellington?
L ask this because a canvass of the
town fails to show up over dozen of
his former friends who express regret
over the Ocean city convention result.
Is this not strange in town that
gives 800 republican majority
Three years ago Frostburg saved
him from being buried forever, po-
lltically. He and his friends at that
time knew that if his enemies succeed.
ed in defeating him for denomination
for Congress that there was no hope
for him in the future. To use his
own words, ''if fail now | will never
again ask you to follow me- When
his friends went to work for him they
were told cit is useless to follow
him it only means defeat" They an
swered-"try him again; he went
down before through the party treach-
cry of his republican enemies. If he
fails now we will never come to you to
help him again"
Is it because he has neglected those
who stood by him aud sacrificed every
thing for his political advancement
There are men here who did break
loose from former friends and join
hands with their enemies for him.
There are people who have left the
county on account of his inability to
carry out his promises. Why should
they now go to their former friends
and say ''you were right when you
said this man is not fit to 60 to Con-
gress. Davy Dick did right when
he bolted the convention in 1894.
Pearre's friends and McComas friends
were right when they refused to vote
for him in 1892, and we were wrong 2"
Would it not be better if we sympa-
! thized with him? Weare all as we'll off
as we were when we followed Nc
! Comas. We can hope for nothing
better If that willy politician, Mudd,
should be placed in the lead, because
nothing but mud can stick to him.
Let us hope that the Senator has dis
covered that his old friends are the best
and that the small coterie who wrested
Nos IL and II from Col. Pearre for
him will be remembered, now that the
sllk-stocklng brigade has succeeded in
snubbing him the second time.
Don't desert him now because he
has met temporary defeat. He is
not dead politically. He has six years
before him and we will see the crowd
that are on top now breaking their
necks to secure his favor long before
his term as United States Senator ex-
pires, especially if he comes back to
the friends he has so long neglected to
make new ones.

But they do say Nickel is loaded for star
chamber work next meeting Journal.
MIR. Nickel is the very reverse of what the
JOURNAL says he is. He is out-spoken, frank
and manly. He does not engage in star
chamber proceedings. He has never done
anything in the dark. The public knows his
purposes and all his ideas about official duties
or public property. Mr.. JOURNAL, don't be
vindictive.- Frostburg Ne~s.
Probably none other than the Ne,cs
understood the JOURNAL as speaking
of Mr.. Nickel as star-chamber worker.
Probably everybody else understood
the JOURNAL to say that MIR. Nickel

He Was Right.

A correspondent elsewhere criticizes
the conduct of those of his party who
denounce Mr.. Wellington for the part
taken in recognizing the regular or
ganization element in the Baltimore
hayoralty contest.
1t is probable many of these critics,
upon the lapse of events, If not upon
deeper study of the situation, will
find they are wrong and that they
have done their leader injustice.
Outside of the matter of Irregular
ity," it is probable Mr.. Wellington
took into account a force of at least
$4,000 voters who did not attend the
primaries, but who will be on hand on
election day-a force whose character
warrants the belief that it will not
gravitate toward the support of a can
didate who defes Organization"
In doing this he was undeniably
right.
He may have been faulty in tone
and injudicious in manner. but when
the whole situation is examined and
weighed by the earnest and honest in
vestigator it will be found that in the
morals and merits of the issue he was
right.
The time has not come in the
methods of popular expression for the
voice of a minority of 49, 900 to settle
a question finally against $1,000 who
voted and over 10000 who did not
vote.
1t Is true, many of the 10000 are
democrats who would not participate
in republican primaries, but it is a
crowd that has to be reckoned with
at the general election. 1t is crowd
who at last quit a reign of minority
rule, but who cannot be held by the
Inauguration of similar despotism IN
the republican party.
If Mr.. Wellington viewed the situa-
ton in some such light as this, he was
wiser than those who criticize him.

SEMI-LOCAL NEWS.
FairnOnt..

The JOURNAL looked at the Fair
mont CIV. Va.) strike few hours the
other day, and saw in it all the COM
Portable elements of a very tame af-
fair. Indeed, in town the stranger,
otherwise uniformed, would not know
there was anything unusual going on.
Saturday evening after nightfall the
streets bore large resemblance to those
of Frostburg, throngs of we'll dressed,
handsome men and pretty women
shopping and promenading.
The average Fairmont miner. how
ever, is not the equal of his Georges
Creek brother in personelle, education
and general intelligence. Nor is he so
favorably situated for quitting work.
The mines are farther apart, making
concentration of effort and unity of
action more difficult. His social en-
vironment is against idleness, too. A
sturdy, conservative agricultural ele-
ment and highly cultivated pro-
fessional contingent are against the
suspension" idea, especially as an ex-
preston of sympathy with co m
petitors.
Without detailing the situation at
each of the several mines the losses
and gains each day for several days
had in general way about balanced
each other, and the consensus of the
most reliable opinions was, as one
gentleman expressed 1.-THE zenith
of the trouble is passed."
The strike has been a harvest for
those miners who continued work. To
those who quit restitution in many in
stances has come and, worse, uncer-
tanty of re. employment.
The JOURNAL met U. S. Kendall,
mayor of the town after residence of
only three years. Though young, he
has so we'll managed the delicate issue
which in strike times arises between
tolerance of free speech on the one
hand and intolerance of incendiarism
on the other, that he is already spoken
of for Congress in the second district.
He is anative of Somerset county, Pa,
and knows several Frostburg people.
Col. c. c. Smith, editor of the Mder,
an excellent paper, is leading cit
izen, and, though democrat in pol
itics is prince of the house of good
fellowship.
ii. e. Sample, editor of the Free
Press, is we'll known in this county as
a hustler in all departments of the
newspaper business. He is deserved
ly prosperous.
DR.. d. P. Fitch, remembered as one
OF Frostburg's most industrious and
skillful physicians, maintains the
same prestige in Fairmont. He is
successful and popular to degree not
distanced by any of his guild.
Fairmont is model country town.
The character of its edifices-business
residence and religious, above the
average, is enhanced by the showing
afforded by streets paved with vitrifed
brick. Of these there are probably sew
eral miles and the end of progress is not
yet. The people are still at work ex-
tending them-so much for this year,
so much for next, and so on.
Several city airs prevail, one of
which prohibits the litter of the streets
and other business memorabilia that
ought to go in the towns newspapers.
The vast deposits of coal and the
proximity Of natural gas and oil fields
insure long and growing future for
Fairmont.
