The Normal School.

According to the Homecoming Recier,
a bill, once drawn, is not open to
amendment. AS to a smash of the
Normal School project unless it is
located in Cumberland, the JOURNAL
has already intimated that. There is
nothing for this coal region that Cum
berland can keep away. A gumptious
newspaper man doesn't have to be Sin
position" to know that.
The question of location came up in
the Teachers Institute yesterday on a
motion by j. w. Hunt to ''strike out
Cumberland and insert Frostburg" in
resolution pending. This was voted
down. The resolution was adopted.
Then Cumberland wanted to make il
unanimous but there We're many dis
senting voices. The action of teach
ers institute, however, is not even
straw showing the way the wind blows.
Nearly all women and two-thirds of
them III deadly fear Of the school oil
garchy, they are either silent or vote
to please the powers.
1t seems that one of Cumberland's
inducements Is proposal to give the
State II certain property, all or part of
which belongs to the county. This is
very liberal. In fact, the JOURNAL
knows of but one instance in the his
tory OF generosity that equals it in the
cool ness, calmness and complete self
control OF the nerve required in do
mating something the donor has not to
donate. That was, as Scriptural stu
dents have anticipated, the time when
the devil went up into a high mountain
and Offer ed to convey Internationally
the entire landscape and ''the appurte-
nances appertaining thereto"

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Hardly Fair.


A paragraph of Town Talk" comes
in as follows:
That the Mayor, when calling citizens
meeting, should use the same means of noti
flying the people that he employs when he is
a candidate TOR mayoraltv honors, namely
make the fact known to all We want the
people to understand that everybody wants
the State Normal-not select few. There
never was such thing as mob in Frost burg
and never will be.
The JOURNAL is in position to know
that no discrimination was made by
the Mayor against either the people or
the mob. The question involved is one
about which there can be no two opin-
IONS: hence, the comparative many,
themselves with nothing to debate. can
probably crystalline upon plan Of
action quicker and more efficiently
than if driven about by the fancies of
a thousand. There ought never to be
more representatives than constituents
In fact, that is what is the matter with
our silver philosophers. They want
more dollars per 100 cents of value
than there are l00-cent values. For
similar reason they ought to clamor
for more representatives in Congress
than there are people to represent.
Hence, if the Mayor is voicing public
desire for the Normal School and his
plan, which is the only feasible one,
gets it. there ought to be no kick
against him or if.

BUSINESS MEN MEET

Matters of Importance to the Towns
Progress Discussed and Acted On.
The Business Mems Association Of
Hampton held it regular meeting on
Monday night. with good attendance
but not so large as was desired. Presi-
dent w. +. Lawson was in the chair.
The matter of the necessity of hav-
ing the houses in the town properly
numbered came up and the committee
that appeared before the Council some
time ago was instructed to again urge
the mattre before that body, and also
to request that the street names be
placed on the corners
\ committee. consisting of Messrs.
c. T. HoltZclaw and It. y. Cooke. was
appointed to see Judge Lee and lay
before him the necessity of a light at
the north end Of the Locust Street
bridge. in the county.
The matter Of the poor passenger and
freight accommodations provided by
the Chesa peake & Ohio Railway Com
pany at this place was discussed at
some length. and it was the sense OF the
meeting that the secretary should cor
respond with the proper officers and
see ii something could not be done to
remedy the conditions
1t was decided that at the meeting in
December the question of the extension
Of the town limits. taking in the West
End and East End, he discussed, as
We'll as the sewerage question, and It
is expected that there will be Il good
attendance of the membership, as both
o these questions are Of great import
;lnce to the welfare and progress of the
city.
The matter Of extending the city lin
its is one which is opposed by some
living outside by reason of tax cons:d-
crations. ard by some living in the pres
ent limits on political grounds.
AS to the numbering of the houses,
there is no formidable objection to the
plan. ant. it is generally conceded that
the furnishing of definite means of To-
eating persons whom one desires to find
would be a great public convenience.
