All Alike.

The JOURNAL has often alleged that
'the walking delegate and other pro-
fessed Moseses, Aarons and Joshuas
of professional labor, not emitting the
ELUSIVE, exuberant and etfervescing
editors of so-called miners organs, are
actuated more by the missionary, than
the martyr spirit which ennobles and
crowns even with the glory of fire every
good propaganda.
Each of the entire outfit is an out
locker for No. that is, if the history
of the past may still be accepted as an
outline of the future round of event.
The man who, most of all, exhibited
the Mosaic spirit was John Siney.
Like Moses, he died in the service of
his cause-died without "seeing the
promised land and his grave, located
on some Nebo, has been 50 far for
gotten that, like Moses, no man
knows where he is laid.
But Powderly. Gompers, and, ac-
cording to the Homecoming Reoiep,
Dick and Campbell-these, each for
himself, has seen "the glory of the
coming" and is satisfied. Each is
Joshua, now a naturalized citizen of
"the land of milk and honey while
their followers, still wandering after
way to have the companies compel
miners to pay their own checkweigh-
men. still suffering for an inspector
elected by the sovereigns of Oldtown-
these are still eating the mama of sus-
pected weight and spook blacklist.
These remarks, which are IN the
nature of notifications of the JOUR
NAILS measurement of the prime object
OF the professional labor missionary
movement, give rise also to the inquiry
If Powderly, Dick and Campbell
these three, and such as these, having
won our trust and devotion by an
extraordinary display of interest in
our behalf--if these have betrayed for
their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT our faith
and loyalty, on what warrant shall we
now hug the Homecoming Recier and
Frostburg Forum? What else have
we to expect from the latter than the
former rain I?
Gentlemen miners-you who are the
bone and sinew of both the physique
and mor@te of your vocation, put not
your faith in the over Jealous advocate
Of your rights, especially your imagin-
airy rights. An old maxim has it
put not your trust ill princes" use
full here as pointing the moral thai
when the climacteric period comes in
the life of a professional labor mis-
sionary. like the prince, he will decide
III favor of both his own pretensions
and his own interest.

Walking Cyclopaedias Not So
Numerous as Walking Delegates

The Forum claims to have quoted
without credit certain remarks from
Addison, Irving. Benton and Greeley,
implicitly citing one of them as author
ity for the reduction of San editor to
greater state of impossibihty."
The Forum may not be imposing
upon either its willing or unwilling
patrons. The JOURNAL doesn't say it
is, but to insinuate that anyone in this
flood Tide age of literature cannot be
caught up on some Opaque remark ut
tered by back number author is to
suggest that there are many, the Forum
included, who are endowed with a
quality equal to if not higher than
omnlscience.
The Forum continues:
This thing was intended to be carried on
further, but as the wel-read portion of the
town is titterng out loud at the JOURNAL s
ignorance, it ceases now.
There must be some mistake here.
The editor-inlaw is not ''the well
read portion of the town."
Moreover, he does not "titter."
He chuckles.

n SelEDestructIve Policy.

Inc Homecoming our says
Cumberland ought to be compelled to pay
the costs of further prosecution or make some
effort to procure water from source other
than the Potomac river The Potomac was
not pure stream-the river water was not fit
for use-before the pulp mill was established.
1t will never be fit for use even ifthe pulp mill
is compelled to leave.
Cumberland seems to be taking revenge on
the pulp mill at the cost of the taxpayers
This senseess litigation should be stopped,
else the taxpayers ought to protest.
Upon this theory man who is assailed
should be made to pay the costs Of prosecuting
the assallant, a man who is robbed should
bear the expenses Of falling the thief, and the
estate of murdered man be charged with a
hangmans fee and every other fee connected
with the conduct of the conviction and pun
ishment of the assassin. This is folly. The
attempt to arouse prejudice against Cumber
land is undignlied and uniust.-Cum berland
NemS
The Ne,cS' illustration is not at all
analogous to the situation.
The man who is alleged to be
"assailed" in this case is Cumberland,
not the county.
The imam who is alleged to be
"robbed" in the addition of pollution
to his polluted water is Cumberland,
not the county.
The estate of the murdered man.
is a Cumberland, not a county interest.
Hence, the Stars complaint is that
of the bystander whose pocket is
picked by the alleged victim of money
with which the latter not only defends
himself, but uses to chase the alleged
offender from ground that does not be-
long to the victim.
1t follows, therefore, that the Ne,rS'
notion of what is ''folly," what is ''un-
dignifed and unjust is not the dictum
of disinterested arbiter of good man
ners nor of an unbiased Judge of what
Madison called 1.-The aim of govern
ment." At any rate, it is not regard
ed up here as "undignifed and I'M
JUST to let Cumberland see that we
notice its use of the county's money
to drive away a county industry.
Moreover, that we would feel it an
ungraceful and ungrateful act to do this
ecen acith its otrn money!
The JOURNAL is not given TO
prophecy, but it harbors an intuition
that whether Cumberland succeeds or
fails in compelling the county to drive
the pulp mill away, the day is soon
coming when each Renaissance of
that attempt will be returning re-
minder of municipal shame to every
public spirited citizen of that town.
Hence, it is hard to conceive that
any place already pretending to be a
city, ambitious of growth and import
ance, would so controvert, contravene
and degrade the very policy to whose
pursuit it must look for the fruition Of
its hopes.

There is a man up in Garrett county
who knows how to prove that his
stories are true. He killed u snake s
feet long and offers to verify the re
port by showing the stick with which
he did it. In man like that there are
possibilities. Appropriately placed,
he could punctuate epitaphs, write
professional labor editorials and stand
off libel proceedings with a gayety
that would stimulate and strengthen
the elastic hilarity of nations.

Try It,.

f. A. Wilder, of New York city,
offers Cumberland a filter that will
supply each inhabitant about 40 gall
Ions of pure Potomac water every day,
on four months trial. If it will do the
work satisfactorily, he wants the city
to pay $3S, 900 for it. The fact that
the test will cost the city nothing ex-
cept, perhaps, for attention during the
period named, is a strong appeal to
the cupidity of Il municipality which
wants to become great without achiev-
ing greatness.

Russian blouses of black, green, brown. blue or gray silks of various weaves, plain and full across the fronts or laid in narrow tucks at the top to form deep pointed yoke, will be worn next season with skirts of faille, cloth, repped wool or some of the many novel 'fancies' in silk and wool. To the blmses will be added jeweled belts whose setting of semipreoious stones will match or contrast handsomely with the color of the silk forming it. Many of the new blouse models still open down the left side, while others fasten directly down the front and turn back with wide, short revers that as rule are made of the blouse material alone and not faced with different fabric.
 Odd and pretty models arc formed en- tirely of silk braid about half an inch wide made into shape by crossing lines of the flat braid, forming wide open work block or diamond patterns These dressy affairs are sometimes covered with jet nail heads and pendants. They arc made little low in the neck and sleeveless and are designed to slip on over a second high neoked, long sleeved silk or satin blouse in oerise, pink, green or some other becoming color New York Post
