Omissions.

According to the Cumberland papers
the German Embassy at Washington
paid visit to the Cumberland coal
region and inspected the Cumberland
coal mines in order to see the extent
of the Cumberland coal field and to
witness the facility with which Cum
berland miners can dig and ship Cum
bcrland coal.
SO far as the JOURNAL has been able
to learn, however, the Cumberland
tireclay field along the Great Savage
was not shown the distinguished
visitors.
Nor were they given an opportunity
to investigate Cumberland enterprise
in providing Cumberland with a pure
Cumberland water supply.

Personal,

Now, there's the JOURNALS FREUD,
Hon. B. A. Richmond-good fellow,
excellent lawyer, etc. He is one of
the State examiners of applicants for
admission to the Bar of Maryland. in
accordance with IA law embodying the
merit principle, passed last winter.
And yet he was travelling around but
little while ago sustaining plat
form which denounced merit as a
qualification for office and supporting
another lawyer who favols the repeal
of the merit law. Seems strange,
doesn't it, Because If he had been a
free-colnage man supporting a gold
standard platform and nominee, some
anti-clvil service reform sharp would
have taken notice of it.

He Was Mistaken.

Dr. f. b. Andrews, eX-president of
Brown University, threatens now to
"resign the superintendency of Chi
cago's public schools because of oppos-
ton to his efforts to divorce the schools
from politics.
In palmer terms, DR.. Andrews finds
IN Chicago, as elsewhere, that the merit
system of fitting the school with IA
proper teacher is Il Utopian idea of
well-meaning but impractical people.
The party notion is to suH tie teache,
not the school.
In short, that the public school
system is trough of spoils for tax
eaters rather than a machine for pre-
pairing children for doing the duties
aud enjoying the prominences of life.

A Great Danger Impending.

Few men can submit their views in
stronger terms than U. S. Senator
George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts.
In answer to the question-"do you
favor giving the Philippines back to
Spain ?''-he said:
think we should set the people on their
feet and let them govern themselves. My
opinion is that if the United States acquire
the Philippine Islands to govern them as a
subject or vassal State, the destruction of the
American Republic will date from the adj
minlstration of William Mckinley.
Mr.. Hoar can go back Of that era a
few years and date the extinction of
popular government from the hour
when free coinage, conceived in in
iquity," was "born in SIM
The impending peril is by reflex,
therefore, a direct legacy from the
conduct of those democrats who,
abandoning vital principles, made
practicable the election of man who,
strong in many respects, is apparently
weak enough to be fattered by the
notion that he is to become the pioneer
of the millennium.

Tribute tOa Wife.

A thought; What a blessed thing it is
for man to leave his shop or place of bust
ness each evening and go to good, Christ
ian home, and lie met by true, Christian
wife.-Cumberland Tin,eS
That is not merely "a thought" but
rather a shout from a gold-standard
conjugal experience.
No free and unlimited coinage" in
that rhapsody-of mere friendship, es-
TEEN, or other psycho-metalic feeling
subsidiary to the auriferous passion of
love
But it is song which, though written
in prose, is evidently chanted by son
of fortune who can sing Of his wife:
She is mine own;
And as rich in having such jewel
As twenty seas, if all their sands were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold
Any "silvern speech" in that con
nection would be blasphemy.

No custom is "legal'' until its legal

How is This ?

The JOURNAL has no desire to pro-
long the discussion over the outcome Of
the Farrell libel case, but it does not feel
that the following deduction should go
without notice by somebody outside
the courthouse circle:
For two young attorneys, ~jN the Tar ptain-
IN against them Wjh the court Sustaini,tg each
contention against Mem-to be ptted against
the leaders of the bar and then pull their
client through is legal victory of the high
est order-Forum.
There must be some exaggeration
here.
For if Farrell won against the legal
ly omnipotent Law and Court, it is
clear that the Court should not have
permitted the verdict to stand.
Hence, if the Fortunes statement be
true, especially If nothing be omitted
the "victory" for "the young at
torneys" is everything else but legal. 3"
In short, the Forum has made a bad
showing for court, bar and jury.

n FORCED conclusion.
Speaking of the effect of the verdict
in the case of the State Cs. John
Farrell, the Homecoming ReCiew, in
double-leaded lines, says:
1t has given latitude to reputable journals
in discussing public men and public measures
and preserved to the fullest extent the liberty
of the press.
Better not presume upon that con-
clusion.
The next case may present entirely
different features.
The testimony, for instance, may
not be self-destructive.
And the jury may listen to it in
stead Of to 1.-THE young attorneys"

Ap,OpOs of the hackneyed term,
Equality" latest raised by the race

is literally and completely no such
condition this side of the grave.
This has been always so.
At least a Latin phrase of imme-
mortal age runs:
If all men were on an equality the conse-
quence would be that all must perish for
who would till the ground? Who would SOW
it? Who would plant?
The "equality' sought by the high
protection and free-coinage disciple

glasses, is the self-same model of
