Limited Acquaintance.

We have read much about Jackson and his
administration, but this is the first time we
ever heard of J. Franklin Jameson. The fact
that he parts his name in the middle raises
doubt as to his responsibility as an author,
and if the JOURNAL quotes him correctly, he
is also guilty of using bad English Frost
burg News.
The Neaos ought to extend its ac-
quaintance. Mr.. Jameson is not only
professor of History in Brown Uni
versity," but held the same chair
formerly in "Johns Hopkins Uni
versity." He was prominent "ed-
itorial contributor to the Century Die
tionary," and, more than all, is the
"author of History of Historical Writ
ing in America"
What more will the Neecs exact in
the way of d historian?
1t may be pity that he doesn't
"part his name on the side, but "his
responsibility as an author"-if, liter
ally, historian can be denominated
"an author" is assured.
Concerning "bad English it would
surprise the Neacs to learn the number
of respectable authors who have
been guilty of that untiial tribute to
the purity of the mother tongue. Even
Macaulay, whom the Nesos quotes APP
parently without skepticism of his lit
erary chastity, was not guitess.

Land OfMy Dreams"

The JOURNAL has not seen in a long
time prettier poem than that nder
the above title, written in Cumberland
for the Times of that city May l, 1897.
The writer's signature, "Sometime,"
conveys, of course, no clue to the name
of the author, but whoever this for
tunate parsonage may be he or she, in
laid with vein of the best optimism
that of which the world knows no.
thing, is hardly less happy in the en-
dowment of the rhythmic faculty
which rounds buoyant sentiment into
the most musical diction.
Here is the poem:
l would go to the land where pure crystal
streams
Forever flow onward-sweet land of my
dreams.
OF that beautiful land in my dreams am
told
Our youth is eternal, there nothing grows old
Yes, land Of my dreams, where murmuring
flow
Forever these streamlets, yes there would
To that beautiful land where constant and
pure
Are friendship and love that will ever endure
All land of my dreams, how oft in amaze
When musing of thee in ecstasy gaze
70 that far milky way, bright pathway to
love,
That lights to the land of my dreams far
above.
/ All land of my dreams, this poor throbbing
heart
Is impatient, and oft, often longs to depart
From world Of base envy, of sorrow and
strife,
To the land of my dreams-to pure higher
life.
Yes land of my dreams, how anxious my
In painful suspense often longs for that goal -
For that beautiful land where evermore
CLEANS
The joy of pure love, sweet land of my
dreams.

Coke andCOIe.

Senator Coke OF Texas was once
pitted in some kind of race against Il
man named Cole, who was an eloquent
speaker and was getting rather the
better of him. The Coke party gave q
big barbecue, but their best speaker
could not be on hand. The committee
discovered that no talent was available
except rough and tumble fellow who
had been coal miner in West
Virginia. He consented, when called
on, and the committee WAS in fear and
trembling, wondering what he would
do. But they didn't fear and tremble
long. "Feller citizens" said the
speaker, II am here to-day to talk to
you about Coke and Cole. You know
me, and you know | know what Pm
talking about. and want to ask you
if you know the difference between
Coke and Co.e. But it amt necessary !;
every man of you knows that the
difference between them is the gas that
is in the Cole. San Francisco

Macaulay once wrote
If the great moneyed interests found it to
their advantage to challenge the law of gravi-
tation they could obtain the services of very
able men to denounce and ridicule that best
established of all physical laws.
The JOURNALS services" in behalf
of sound money have not been sob
tained." Nor does it challenge the
law of gravtation" from sound to I'M
sound money. nor "denounce and rid
icule" it, but accepts both the phi
losophy and the result of the process
as wholly natural and inevitable.
1t is, therefore, voluntarily as it is
wholly opposed to the institution of
that sort of "gravitation," and will be

Errors Corrected.

MaCaulay once wrote:
If the great moneyed interests found it to
their advantage to hallenge the law of gravita-
tion they could obtain the services of very
able men to denounce and ridicule that best
established of all physical laws.
This is as well exemplified at the present
day as it was in the days of that great Eng
lsh historian. Last week the JOURNAL said:
The Frostburg Ne~s insists, IN some Ian
guage that does not prevail among respect
able Maryland newspapers, that president
Jackson did not force the United States Bank
to enter the lists politically against him.
The JOURNAL fails to point out the ian.
guage of doubtful respectability. The rudest
phraseoogv used in the article referred to was
borrowed from the JOURNAL, and its known
reputation for severity should have been
ample admontion for us not to err in that
direction, but we hope our readers will par
don this bit of MISUNDERSTANDING Nems.
The JOURNAL thanks the Neoos for
Its fattering compliment, and pro-
ceeds to say that "false" and "false-
ly," applied to the statements of con-
temporaries, are not current in the
polite society of Maryland newspapers.
The JOURNAL has re-read the article
referred to with the purpose of discover
ing 1.-THE rudest phraseology, ETC., but
without result. 1t can find nothing
therein that impeaches the veracity of
1.-THE Bryanesque democracy" so much
as it questions the accuracy of the his
torical knowledge acquired and ex-
plotted by that bloviating aggregation.
What there is in it, therefore, that
accords with West Virginia cult is so
ia, inexplicable.
The Neus errs, too, in speaking of
the JOURNALS "known reputation for
severity" There is no such report
current in Maryland newspaper circles.
The JOURNAL enjoys wide. spread eel
ebrity for being able to make its con-
tentions unanswerable, but only its
old adversaries have any cause to com
plain of that sort of cruelty. AS vic
tim of the JOURNALS inhumanity to
newspapers the Ne,cs is yet in embryo.
But it is not fair to the JOURNAL for
editors who select the weak or the
wrong side to complain of its Csc

Hence, there is and can be no par
don for this bit of indiscretion."

A Proposed Race.

The "famous question:" original
with the JOURNAL, and alluded to by
the Washington, d. c., correspondent,
is
How can free coinage or any other law
raise the prices of the commodities have to
sell and lower the prices of those have to buy :?
1t is here stated in the first person
singular, so that each individual NAV
adopt it in the search for an answer.
Let the farmer, for instance, set out
to ascertain how he is to get more by
law for his wheat and corn and pay
less for coal.
And the miner to find out how he is
to get more for digging coal and pay
less by law for his bread.
1t will be the most interesting race
for knowledge ever projected.

The Main Essential Lacking.

George M. Pullman took the medal
at the Prague Exposition offered for
the model town. The town of Pullman
may have model streets, water, SANTA
ton, &C., but it lacks one essential of
an ideal town, namely, ownership of
homes. The houses are all owned by
the Pullman Car Company, and the
employees of the company are mere
tenants at will. Civic pride must be
lacking il such town. The best
town is that in which every citizen
owns a home.-Birmingham (Ala.)

farmers of Garrett county are bringing their

per cent more for it than they did last year.
The howlers can't fool all the people all the
time.
Quite true.
About per cent. of the population
are wool-growers, 90 per cent. wool
wearers.
What is there in "T. Jays" state
ment to stop the 90 per cent. from howl
ing?
On the other hand, is there not much
in it to augment the howl?
And can the 7 per cent. fool all of the
