Several Apparently Needful Words.

Information has come to the Jour
NAL which induces it to say to all that
no corporation, firm, nor individual
dictates a line, word or syllable that
goes in its columns.
1t is opposed to long contracts as q
matter Of principle, just as it is opposed
to free coinage and high tariff.
In the first instance, it goes with a
majority of the people of all parties.
la the second, against a majority of
what is no longer the democratic
party.
In the third, against large majority
of the republican party.
In county matters it is opposed to
the success of people who want to ride
into office on proposals, some Of which
they cannot accomplish without over
turning the Constitution itself!
With about forty years of perfect
liberty to think for himself, the editor
of this paper not onl y reaches his own
conclusions, but he does not invite,
take or tolerate any aid in that line.

By a Similar Token.

Rev. c. Forrest Moore, of Piedmont
puts the Cumberland injunctionists in
the same dilemma that ties the free
coinage people in hopeless tangle.
He shows very clearly that the in
junction will not strike the real source
of pollution. In other words, an in
junction leveled against the pulp
works is not a specific that will strike
the seat of disease in the water OF
Georges Greek.
This is an excellent illustration OF
the fact that free coinage will never
cure an ailment that never grew out OF
limited coinage.

Frostburg has water troubles, too.

Frostburg has water troubles, too.
Last Saturday the superintendent,
Alfred Jeffries, reported only q feet
in the cis-Savage reservoir-too little
for the vast draft upon it.
Sunday morning Mayor Bear, with
Fuller Bros. and about 20 hands took
charge of about 100 square feet of
territory below the Winebrenner spring
and, working all day, saved to the
supply a great volume of water that
was hitherto lost. The new ground
cost $50, but it was good investment.
The Mayor says there is not enough
water on the trarsSavage side to meet
the demand. He is, therefore, in favor
of some experimentation in the arte-
sian line on this side, and thinks of
calling public meeting to consider
the matter.
The artesian is very uncertain.
The chance generally is against tap.
ping water, but if lucky a deep bore
on this side would be worth to the
town more than gold mine. One,
located above the freclay and driven
at right angles to the strata, would be
the thing, if a "slantindlcular" direc-
ton for drill be possible.

The Political Outlook

For Hon. David E. Dick State Sen
atorlal prospects are not so glittering.
The tiamboyant manner with which
his foregone success has been herald
ed by his friends and newspapers has
aroused some autagonism that will
have to be reckoned with in spheres
not so noisy.
In the event of his nomination, it is
possible the free coinage, pro German
democracy will go into convention and
endorse David J. Lewis, the populst
nominee.
If Mr.. Dick fails in realizing his
senatorial aspirations, he will un-
doubtedly be allotted a place on the
ticket for House of Delegates, but
this, it is believed, will crowd out Hon.
James Campbell, his twin hero and
greater martyr. What result this will
accomplish no man knows and some
will not dare guess.
A rough and-tumble fight for sheriff
is on, and the race for treasurer will
have several entries.
Over the republican ticket otherwise
there will be little trouble-unless
there is truth in the rumor that The o.
Human is to be turned down this time.
The JOURNAL is ''up tree" of course,
but good authority whispers in this
connection that "the man who wishes
to be considered force in republican
politics should be careful not to con-
vey to the public too many Mt. Saw
age secrets"
The Bryanesque democracy, appar-
emily sleeping, has one eye open on
Dick as hopeful probability, and the
other on the West Virginia coal inter-
ests in the Maryland canal. Some of
the quondam anti-Gorman men, now
look sad but say nothing of another
six years dose of anti-Wilson bill in
the Senate.
The prohibition party will meet in
Cumberland next Saturday, 9th inst,
and nominate a county ticket.
The free silver democratic primaries
will be held Monday evening, next,
from 7 to s! O'Clock the county con-
vention in Cumberland Thursday, 9TH
inst. Beyond the proposal to endorse
David j. Lewis, populist nominee for
the State Senate, nothing prospective
is known. To endorse Mr.. Lewis,
however, will come as "natural as
rolling off a log"

year last week. However, the event is note
worthy even at this late day. The JOURNAL
is one of few papers that wear well, that in

ton every 81 weeks of the Survival of the
tttest' theory. For right down editorial
work the JOURNAL is a cracker. Jack that allows
nary fly to light upon the glory it has at

And it might as we'll be stated now

Off the Tract.

Some funny things were said at the
anti-pulp mill meeting in Cumberland
Thursday evening of last week.
FjrSt-J. W. S. Cochrane concluded
a nervous speech by saying:
1t the Potomac) is our only supply. Ma
| ture gave it to us and no one has right to
take 1t away from us.
Washington city can complain in
the same way of Cumberland sewage
and feel equally grateful to Nature.
But in either case the observation
sounds much like that of the fellow
who had noticed that drivers always
flow by large cities"
Second-Thomas Footer asked
Shall we take our water works, costing
S25o,0Oo, throw it away and spend thousands
| more for new source of supply?
All the milk of the coacoanut is
comprised in that inquiry. The city
wants to hold on to its quarter-of-a-
million mistake. 1t does not want to
spend any more Thousands, even for
good water.
Third-J. B. Finan said
They can send all the boards ofheath in the
world here, but they cannot rub out what
man has eyes to see and nose to smell.
| There is more that boards of health
cannot do. They cannot rub out of
some people certain deadly financial
notions that are neither seen nor smet
notions beside which Potomac water
fancies are eXhalations from the river
of life.
FourM-Rabbi J. l.. Stern was very
severe:
He urged criminal proceedings against the
alleged polluters of the stream as would be
ordinary nuisance.
That policy might reach farther than
the RABBI conceives. 1t might wipe
out more than half of all that makes
life IN Cumberland endurable.
FUM-lt is said that A, Fl. Dowden
spoke briefly from the audience. When
|
prolonged applause by saying he
wished to remain among the common
people to be heard, He thought it strange
that an injunction sued for against a corpor,
alton year and a-half ago could not issue
when they could be procured at such short
notice against the nottingham.
The JOURNAL had suspect,d but did
not before know that there are ordi-
nary and extraordinary people in Cum
berland. But it was IA pity to draw
the line so distinctly, for uncommon
people generally do not want it known
that the quality of water they wish is
needful also for the plebs.
Mr.. DowGen erred. too, concerning
the injunction matter. No working
man has been enjoined. 1t was the
chap who had stopped work and want
ed to stop others. If the court had
enjoined him from stopping work, he
could seriously complain of IL mortal
invasion of his nearest and dearest
right, but when it stands by this same
right IN the sovereignty of his neighbor
who wants to work, the injunction can
not be made too strong nor issued too
soon.
In pleasing contrast to the tone and
spirit of the Cumberland meeting that
at Piedmont Monday evening was
neither Incorporate nor proscriptive.
There was Il line of statement and
method of argument pursued which
showed conclusively that Cumberland
might destroy the pulp industry to find
that the true source or sources of pol
luton "reminiscences which no in
junction can ever reach.

Three Texts.

Eugene V. Debs, leader of the free
coinage collateral known as the social
democracy, at the National Labor con-
ference Monday, made three suggestive
points.
The first was
Strikes don't pay. All strikes are lost.
They are useless,
True as anything in the gospel of
labor, in memorial of which the JOUR
NAL has been preaching--lo, these
numerous years.
The second:
They (strkes) are caused by the employing
classes. When capitalists get ready for strikes
they provoke them knowing well their cause
is won before the conflict is begun.
True of some regions, no doubt, but
never of this. There have been slack
times when the owners of Georges
Creek coal felt they would be better off
with their mines entirely closed, but
they never got ready for a strike. "
They went on supplying small de-
mand, often when the income was a
long way incommensurate with the
fixed expenses of running the mines.
The third:
The various labor unions of this country
have all they can do to take care of their own
men. This was eXemplied in the recent
miners strike. Never i'll my experience have
seen strike which had the sympathy of
the public, and even of part of the employing
classes, as that one did, but when an appeal
was made for financial aid, less than seven
cents per striking MINER was received.
That 'seven cents per capita tells II
conclusive story to this effect-that,
first and last, the American public
does not approve and will not sustain
the strike as Il method of industrial re-
dress of grievances, of which low
wages is probably the most common
and onerous.
There must be found, therefore,
some way of righting such wrongs
which does not embody the intinida-
ton, prescription and tyranny of
the strike-some way more in accord
with American instincts and usages-
some way more in consonance with
civilized regard for decency, fair play
and good order.
The statesman, economist or philan-
thropist who discovers it will have be-
come more blessed than the alchemist
who spent his fortune to find the phi
losopher's store.
