Made Clear.

The demurrer to the Indictment of
Otto Hohing contained more than the
fact that Mr.. Hohing's duties did not
come under the provisions of the new
law" as stated by the Forum
One of the points, at least, set forth
against it was the absence of data
showing tchen Mr.. Hohing failed in
the performance Of duty.
For instance-suppose the Forum
were indicted for not being & news
paper. The grand jury should allege
not on y the general fact, but nominate
and elect instances supporting the fact.
Last week there were several items
of news in the JOURNAL, which is ex-
clusively an Independent labor paper,
that We're not in the Forum, which
claims for itself that Frostburg "has
one newspaper.
The proof, thus furnished, would
convict the F0rum, bur the absence of
similar proof, acquits Mr.. Hohing.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Dea1ncss cannot be Cured by local
applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is one
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an intlamed condition of the mucous
Inning of the Eustachan Tube. When this
tube gets intlamed, you have a rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
mucous surfaces.

favorlng the proposal to appoint trus-

for instance, the patrons of the Beall
High School are too far from those in

On the other hand, those in charge
have duties to perform that are not in
line with the miautae of local school
oversight.
Without, therefore, abolishing all
that describes a school as "High." if
that be practicable, give it the trustees.

C'Let Us Have Confidence in the Patriot
ism Of Our President at This Timely
ing for war. It Is regarded by careful
men as almost inevitable. But we need
time. Six months will complete our
coast defenses. In the same time our
navy will be strengthened. Cuban
atrocities excite our sympathy, and
they should be stopped. But sympathy,
like charity, begins at home, and We
must sympathize with our own people
first, before we plunge unprepared into
the awful horrors of war. It seems to
be unavoidable; but we must avert it if
we can, certainly until we can meet the
emergency with the least possible cost
and the least possible loss to ourselves"
That is the whole story in nutshell.
It develops the full meaning of the
speech of Congressman Hit, of Illinois,
when he eloquently spoke in the house
of representatives, appealing to all of
our citizens to have confidence in the
patriotism OF, our president at this time,
regardless Of present or future political
views and aspirations.
