TOWN AND VICINITY.
A Few Remarks.


OF course the Frostburg Neacs, in
spired by Mr.. Nickel, can find plenty of
> reasons for not leading a defence of
the town against long the contract
crowd.
And people affecting knowledge of
law can set up pretexts relieving Mr..
Nickel of all narrow legal obligation
to do his duty.
But these do not answer to men who
take conscientious views of things. A
time may come which will bring the
question: Mr.. Nickel been faith
full over the few things that he should
be made ruler over many ?" Has he
ever died in the last ditch for the peo-
pie, or did he stop short in behalf of
himself? Did he not fight-then run
away that he might live to fight an
other day?
The JOURNAL holds that Mr.. Nickel,
being unquestionably right, should
have held on and led in the test of the
question whether any man or private
corporation can tie up this town for
five years9
And whether this could be done
under any possible pretext, especially
to enable Mayor with grievance,
whether just or not, to use the town
as a club to deal out his vengeance
upon hated corporation.
Mr.. Nickel and his very few par
tisans in this matter are strenuously
combining his obligations to their legal
limit.
But the question is becoming one
far more of fact than of law, as all
such questions are when tried By the
people, as this will ultimately be, es-
pecially if Mr.. Nickel ever aspires to
hold office again. 1t will not then
avail him TO say fell short of my
eohole moral duty because
there is not one word in the official oath
of Councilman that imposed upon me the
slightest duty to proceed in the courts as a
Councilman.
But having led asa councilman, why
should he wish to tollOao as citizen
The matter is about narrowed down
to this-and each citizen should ac-
cept 1t as question addressed by him
self to hlmself-why should Mr..
Nickel, who represents me in Council,
throw back upon me in any case the
duty of defending my own and the
towns Interest,"

1t Ghe JOURNAL plays with every word
caught Struggling in our Misunderstanding
Necs.
Words should not straggle.
Led by the music of truth, they
should move with loek-step and
rhythmic sway in double-quick march.
And, until the mission of each is
ended--the determination of five-year
contracts and the destruction of great
prestige founded on half done duty,
there should be no tagging rearward.
Like the legislative function that
does not finally legislate or the admin
istrative office which does not uti-
mately administrate, the word that
struggles is funk.

An Observer"

ali ooSCINcf.
Whether the Mayor ever "saw a
word in the JOURNAL about Council
tying up the town for three years" to
the gas company or not, he makes the
towns experience under that regime an
overwhelming argument against the
present tie-up for five years. He
shows very clearly what souless
thing is a monopoly when it gets its
tentacles around the municipal boat.
The most remarkable statement,
however, appears in IAN Observers"
letter as follows:
The dispute entered the last town election,
and it seems clearly that electricity won.
If the issue in the last election was
Electricity rs. gas" the JOURNAL
never heard of it, nor did anyone out
side the electric light coterie.
The JOURNAL will tell the Mayor
what won. 1t was the popular feel.
ing against closing alleys-against
shutting out of town people who are
accustomed to reaching the business
centre by near and long established
highways.
Hence the JOURNAL will further
more assure the Mayor that had he
not gone to court and had Payne's
alley re opened, he would not be the
Mayor to day. In other words, had
he pursued the course in that matter
that Messrs. Nickel and Shuckhart fol-
lowed in the electric light matter, a
private station would be his present
post of honor.
Perhaps the Mayor thinks the people
ignore the JOURNAL, but in doing so
he measures them by his own little
personal tapo-line. When the JOUR
NAL recalls to the people the fact that
the Mayor does not stand in the cleo
trio light scheme on the same platform
that he occupied in the Payne alley
matter. they can easily see that the
statement is true.
And when ii tells them that the
Mayor and his electric light friends
fear, above all things, the resort TO the
court which then vindicated the Mayor.
they know that is true also. Then the
Mayor was the plaintiff. with the
whole people behind him; now he is
the defendant with the whole people
against him.

The Bloomington game, scheduled
for to-day, is postponed till Saturday
August 81.
Instead, Berlin will be here to play
the last game of the series. They
play Cumberland Thursday, Lonacon-
ing Friday and Frostburg Saturday.
The last Is expected to be the greatest
game OF the season. The manage
ment expects to have Dewing here to
pitch. The Arlon band will give a
concert on the grounds at 80 and the
game will begin at 2:30 or 3 o'clock.
1t is hoped the lovers of the national
game will turn out in full force and
show visitors that good hard honest
ball playing is appreciated here in
Frostburg.
There is some talk going to the effect
that Meyersdale was badly ''umpired"
in the last game hele. Indeed, some
OF our townspeople aver this. The
management should use all means to
avoid occasion for such reflections.
The result should far as possible be a
triumph of manhood and skill, for it
is this that gives the game its chief
charm. Do not win nor lose by bad
or partial umpiring.

1t prescribes that the bonds will be 4
per cent. per annum; that bids must be

whole cost of redemption of old and
issue of new bonds, and buyer must do
all and pay all, leaving the Mayor and
Council to 'press the button" only.
AS an act of good faith, each bidder
must back his offer with ST. ,OGO check,

Push 1t.

The Mayor is correct in saying that
the use of gas by private parties has
not been enterprisingly pushed. The
introduction of both engines and stoves
should have been pressed with more
vigor. The engine is cheap motor
and small labor-saver of great value.
while the stove, either as a cooker or
heater, is luxury.
These remarks are made to preface
the facts that two gas engines have
lately been introduced by B. T.
