A dreadful thing happened in Cum

the heat Of city politics has not got
into any of the papers. A woman
was initiated into one of the female
secret societies OF the town and a
week later went to attend what she
had supposed was regular meeting
of the lodge. She encountered con-
siderable difficulty in gaining admis-
sion, but explained her trouble by say
ing that she was sisterly babe as yet
and hadn't mastered the intricacies Of
compound passwords. She finally got
past the doors and listened in respect
full silence to the ceremonial of intro
duclng two new members to the pro-
found secrets Of the Order and therein
discovered that size had come to the erronq
todge. The officers and members are
in a quaudary about what is best to
do. Theoretically, she has been in
itiated; practically she has not only
never been initiated, but has never APP
piled for initiation. The perpleXity
is to be put in shape for submission to

situations.
If anyone hopes to escape trouble
in this world he is doomed to disap-
pointment. Sin, sorrow, and pro-
tessional labor papers seem to be an
inevitable part of the schedule.

Cause and Effect

The Forum is a would-be skeptlc.
If 1t can't see a model miner. it re-
CARDS him as "au imaginary"
But there is tremendous difference
between what the Forum wants and
doesn't want to see.
Unfortunately, however, the model
miner is almost as much afraid of the
term, "blackleg,' as the professional
labor miner is of the so-called "black-
list"
He very correctly believes that if
there had never been a "blackleg"
there never would have been a ''black-
list
And thus has it again come to pass
that strange tree can be best recog-
nzed by its fruit.

Far More than il is Worth.

Arithmetic writing to the Iona
coming Regieso, says:
1t has been estimated that the cost of the
war is a million and quarter dollars day.
AS Maryland has one-sixtieth of the popu-
lation and probably about onesixtieth of the
wealth of the whole country, the cost to the
people Of this State may be put at little less
than sd 900 day, $G25,000 per month, or
81, 100000 per year
Whether those figures be accurate
or not, it is tremendous price the
people are paying for more poor land.
That is, if the programme has been
changed from Cuban freedom to
territorial conquest.

The Arion Band Of Frostburg led a
line about mile long from Frostburg
to Eckhart Saturday evening to par
ticipate IN the erection of the flag de.
scribed in these columns last week.
The drivers rode the mules used in the
mines, the legs of the mules having
been wrapped in bunting. Misses
Bernie Moore and Lillian Feldman, of
Eckhart, and Mary Ford, of Frostburg,
raised the flag, while Hon. George A -.
Pearre, F. c. Beall and Daniel Krapf.
jr., entertained the audience in an
oratorical way.

flag was hung upon wire stretched

Plenty of 1t.

In new book Of poems Miss
Charlotte Perkins Stetson, of Boston,
thus describes "a Nevada Desert:''
An aching, binding barren plain,
Corpse-colored with white mound of akali,
Hairy with sage brush, Shiny after rain,
Burnt with the sky's hot scorn, and still
again
Sullenly burning back against the sky.
Dull green, dull brown, dull purple and dull
gray,
The hard earth white with ages of despair
Slow-crawing, turbid streams, where dead
reeds sway
Low wall of sombre mountain far away,
And sickly steam Of geysers on the air.
When it is considered that nearly
all of Nevada is desert it would seem
that the United States, instead of an
nexlng volcanic territory, already has
land to burn.

Omission.

The Federation of Railway Unions,
10000 strong
requests Congress to frame legislation
whereby future railroad disputes may be
settled by arbitration and without recourse
to strikes.
The Federation does not go far
enough.
1t should lay before Congress a plan
showing how walking delegates can
get on in life in some other sphere of
action than representative pedestrian
ism, and how professional labor papers
are to live on something less nutrition
than the paJu1um they CLEAN from the
gullibility of their "leadng circula-
tons"
Anything like successful arbitration
is sure to throw some folks out Of work
and lessen the supposed advertising
value of few leading crcuations. {"

LoNACoNING, Nh, June p, 1895.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
| take pleasure in offering a few
lines for the JOURNAL, and if YOU
should esteem them worthy place
will not feel ashamed, as they will be
sure to be IN good company, as the
JOURNAL has always been character
lied as a clean, pure and wholesome
paper; therefore, a paper to be en-
couraged and upheld as public bless
ing. | have never seen angry in
vectlve in its reading matter.
Patriotism is rampant in our thirty
ing town and takes its form in the
raising Of flags and throwing out the
hallowed Stars and Stripes to hutter
in the breeze; the usual cheering ac-
compartments of the multitude; pa
trlotlc speeches and music by the
band. Col. Pearre, Dick and j. J.
Robinson, of the star, seem to be the
most invited and desired to make ad-
dresses. The sacred cloth has also
been very much in evidence, which
gives to these occasions hallowed in
iiuence.
Politics is yet confined to the under.
current; the mutterlngs are deep, but
not uncertain.
Work at the mines is not brisk.
Yet all ale doing something during the
month.
AS | write all the town is agog and
the lads and assies, dressed in their
best, make our streets gay and bril-,
liant in honor Of the visiting councils
of the A. 0. H. The procession now
passes my window and makes a splen-
did appearance. The management
and decorum of the affair is all that
can be desired. QUIsQUIs.

Grover Cleveland and William J
Bryan are standing upon the same
solid American ground in the matter of
the policy of annexation.
Which affords base for the hope
that when Bryan gets back from his
wanderings in the wilderness of Teller,
Stewart ard Jones republicanism, he
will, as Of yore, stand with the old
chief upon all the other immutable
Jetfersonian and Jacksonian principles
of popular government.

The Levy.

The list of appropriations made by
the County Commissioners at their
late levy session was signed Tuesday.
The aggregate. 1872, 9}2.40, cleans
up every dollar of floating indebted
ness, so that it may be said that out
side of the bonded debt the county
owes nothing that is not fully pro-
vided for.
Moreover, under system inaugural
ed last year the county has almost
reached a cash basis in the fact that
quarterly payments of certificates in
stead of annual, has made those evi-
dences of debt subject to very short
discounts.
The last instalment of the floating
debt of %62, 900, left by the Board of
1894 to its successors, has Just been
paid--that without resorting to an
authorized issue of bonds.
1t is usual to hatter the Commits
sioners upon their work, but the
achievements of the current and pre-
ceding boards are worthy of genuine
commentator. They have given the
county the benefit of the same compe-
tent and conscientious administration
of its affairs that marks the conduct of
their own business.

Is il a Ghost ?

According to lengthy editorial in
the Homecoming Reoiew, the mining
law seems to be an institution given
among men that is in serious need of
constant repairs.
The latest complaints are
|, That Dick and Campbell, miscall-
ed "a law firm" failed to have it
patched with an amendment placing
the selection of the mine inspector with
the suffragans of Oldtown instead of
the governor, and
2, They also neglected having it
half-soled with darklantern addition
providing for a check-weig gilman in
stead of doing the same thing in the
regular, orderly business way.
The JOURNAL has treated the first
feature so often and so conclusively as
impracticable that it is needless to re-
peat the objections now
Hence, there seems but one thing
more to inquire about, and that is
legal permission to 'hold secret meet
ings" to elect secretly an autocrat to go
to the scales and notify all concerned
that 81 am Lord Gotwols, minister
plenipotentiary from the Miners AS
ISOLATION of Never Seen, and my word
goes, don't you see. or there's going to
be a scrap"
There doesn't seem to be much in
the way of a proceeding like that now.
The law, it is true, does not expressly
permit secret meetings of miners, nor
should it. The miners have that per
mission without special warrant. They
have it just as freely as they have the
right 10 engage every night in family
prayer.
Hence, when the objection is urged
that written requests, signed, for per-
mission to employ a checkweighman is
required, 1t is but an observance of the
now time-honored and glorious prin-
ciple that "the ambassador must bear
his credentials
For, in such cases no mans word is
good enough to declare that 81 am
pluribus manu.
He must equip himself with tangi
BILE message from those who imperson-
ate him as cor PopuH.
But it is said, these names ex-
pose the bearers to the OstraciSm of
the blacklist
If that be true, what and who will
save them from the blacklist when
their elected mine inspector places
them on the witness-stand to sustain
his contentious, for instance, of bad
air?
The JOURNAL really does not know,
but it cannot believe that there is a
blacklist i'll any mining office for any
Industrious, capable and worthy miner
in this region.
Hence, it cannot help feeling that
the blacklist is spook with which
professional labor organs and orators
scare those sons of labor who are more
impressible than industrious, or more
SuperStitlouS than economical.

been driven to surrender or into the
Rappahannock river. The men who
on that great day immortalized them
selves by prodigies of valor were
veterans of severe march and camp
