A Suspicion Ventilated.

Col w. j. Bryan has sword which is said
to be eight inches longer than the customary
length But Colonel Bryan is good deal
more than eight inches further from the foe
than the most of our present defenders. -
Cumberland Nenrs.
That Is not at all fair. To keep a
soldier far from the foen and then
twit him with martial modesty is an
impeachment of the highest soldierly
duty-"obey orders"
This brings to mind the fact that
one of the policies Of American man
agement of this war seems to be the
establishment of fame for men hitherto
unheard of-Shafter, Sampson ct al
and distribution of forced chances
for distinction which forestalls those
which heretofore have come to native
monopolists of genius and courage.
Only two have broken through the
trammels-Dewey and Hobson, the
former cutting a cable to get out of
range of Washington orders, the latter
a subordinate of subordinates.
There is, therefore, to be no Grant,
Sherman, nor Sheridan evolved from
this war if the authorities can help
it, but rather Grants, Shermans and
Sheridans. The soldierly qualities
and heroic ambitions of the individual
are to be shared with aristocracies
Of less but possibly more exacting
merit.
This gives rise to the inquiry-arc
there to be McClellans also, and Fitz
John Porters-these by the sort of ar
rangement which toreordains the
names of "Our heroes %
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1898-07-09

Now and then one hears "a profess
slonal labor organ intimate that "this
is a good time for the miners to get so
cents tom
The JOURNAL does not dispute it.
AT the same moment if it is "a good
time to get 80 cents,' it is also ga good
time to get any price per ton that "a
free and unlimited'' fancy may elect.
But the matter to which we wanted
to call the attention of these unthink-
ing philosophers is this-the Board of
Health of New York city is otfsetting
to some extent the good time" bust
ness by what are called "successful eff
forts to stop the use Of soft coal by the
railroads, notably the Long Island"
One of the city papers says ''now is a
good time to enjoin the road and make
the injunction perpetual" and another
goes so far as to tell the authorities
that eternal vigilance is the price of
clear air."
What puzzles the JOURNAL, there
tore, Is to determine which of the
good times" is the better-the one on
Georges Creek to get 80 cents ton, or
that IN New York to stop the use of
even 45-cent coal.
In attempting to evade the predica-
ment which this problem involves the
professional labor organ is informed
IN advance that all references to
corporation Sheets" local company
organs, 'or Corporation knaves" will
be xtra-professional, If not super
laborious.

Editor Oder wants to know-if a woman
goes into the wrong club by mistake does she
thereby become member ?-Cum5erand
courier.
The Courier shifts the desire for
knowledge concerning delicate
matter from the lodge ladies of Cum
berland.
1t is not the JOURNAL that wishes to
know, because it already knows. 1t
imagined that Johnston and SNYDER
also knew and could tell the distressed
members what to do.
The JOURNALS error in this, how
ever, is accentuated by later question
of the Courier:
If she should drop into lunatic asylum,
does she lose her mind p?
That depends.
If she should give the password at
the outer door and the countersign at
the inner, both incorrect, and still
drop in the asylum, it would appear
that she was not loser.
Which shows that the Curriers' oues-
ton is irrelevant, as such question
was bound to be after making verbal
atiinlties of ''lodge," "pew,n and SIN
sane asylum"

Softly.

Let us be careful that is, those of
US who have so far not given moment
of time, a stroke of work, nor cent
of money toward attaining the Normal
School appropriation-let as be care
full about saying too loudly or to in
tolerantly where the building shall not
be located.
The JOURNAL would rather have it
at Sand Spring or Borden Nine than
not have it at all, but what is the Use
to bury it in some out-of-the
place?
There are other questions of same
tenor that might be asked, but it seems
so very foolish, if not hazardous, to
agitate this matter so intolerantly.
The people who are doing this should
have come forward last winter and
made it known that Frostburg didn't
want the school.
For that is what their present tenn
per intimates.

July 1, 1898.
To the MINING JOURNAL
Please accept our thanks for the
JOURNAL, which we received a few
days ago and which was an agreeable
surprlse-because it told US what was
going on in Frostburg.
We are all we'll and perfectly salts
fed.
The full regiment is here-twelve
companies. You sent the JOURNAL to
two who are not with us-Charles Z.
Hickel and Walter Shriver. Hickel
we could not find to bring, and Shriver
who had an unshapely foot, showed it
to the doctor in Baltimore and was
sent back.
1t is very hot here. Men are falling
out of ranks on account of heat every
day. John Timney, of Carlos, who
came with us, was overcome with
heat Tuesday, but recovered soon and
is o. X. now.
Hoping that the JOURNAL will pros
per in the future as it has in the past,
we remain. Yours respectfully,

JAMES THOMAS,
CHARLES MEARS,
MICHAEL LESLo,
ISAAC FOUTZ,
JOHN BARTOLON,

has been overcome with heat in our
company. M.P.B.

The True Policy

A recent dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun states that
The street commissioners have rejected the
proposition of the Hagerstown Electric Rail
way Company, who are now lighting the
city of Hagerstown, to enter into new ten
year contract to light the city with ninety
arc lights, for s7777 light year. Last
night there was public meeting of citizens
to consider the matter. The sentiment was
strongly against the contract and appeared to
favor the building of a municipal plant.
1t is cheering to note the fact that
there are people somewhere who
know their rights and, knowing, dare
MAINTAIN them
But, gentlemen of Hagerstown, do
not build municipal unless
compelled to do so by the arrogance
of your electric company.
Give the company a reasonably
good price for its light for one year
no more.
Treat future years like far off bridges
don't cross until you reach them.

Pulling Backwards.

Pulling Backwards.
"What has made Philadelphia great ?'
THE pollution of her water supply"
A short but pithy dialogue.
A Chicago gentleman affirmed the
same truth of that city few days ago.
The recent statement that ''the de-
PENDANTS in the pulp-mill case, having
been granted a new trial by the
Frederick county court, the case will
be brought up at the September term
in Frederick city," revives the memory
that Cumberland, ambitious to become
a great inland city, seems determined
to destroy the one thing that promotes
municipal Importance.
II Potomac river water for domestic
uses had not already been forever
polluted by the very industries that
have made the county town all that 1t
is, there would be some excuse for its
prosecution, not to say persecution of
the pulp-mill people.
bul loi ages dltcI tut last pOuuu Vi
coal has been shipped from Georges
Creek sulphureted water, holding in
solution the poisons of rottlng woods
and other decomposing matters, will
make Potomac water unfit for potable
and other household purposes.
Eventually Cumberland must go
elsewhere for good water That 1t will
have to do this even after it has driven
the pulp mill away is a page of future
history already written.
In the light of this fact the con-
clusion is inevitable that the present
effort to purify the river by lessening
the volume of pollution is insanely
vain. In the face of a hundred great
instances to the contrary it declares
that "the botanic stage of civiiza-
tlon"-that which Ceilings to rivers,'
is a delusion.
1t is probable, therefore, that Cum
berland, without knowing the fact, is
choosing to remain an unhealthy vii
lage, when it should be LAYING the
foundations for healthy metropolis
the greater the healthier.
