Sinking a City DUTY.

If Cumberland, like Colorado Springs, could
strike vein Of gold while searching for a
water supply, it would be in great luck. But
a supply of COOL water In itself would. be a
golden treasure, and no effort ought to be
spared to obtain Northumberland NcrS.
That is the true spirit.
Cumberland is amply able to get
good water.
The city is old enough and big
enough to quit playing the baby act.
1t should put on the garb of man
hood and go down into its jeans for the
means to get good water.
The misrepresentation of the county S
money to drive away a county in
dustry. even though it accomplish the
ostensible purpose, belongs to the
ethics of the Jungle.
And in community less sluggish
than this, such misdlrection of public
money and misuse of the arm of the
law would bring out popular resent
ment in unmistakable demonstrations.
The more so should Indignation
meetings be held from Mt. Savage to
Bloomington when it is almost in
fallibly known that Georges Creek
alone pours enough chlorine into the
Potomac to make its water unwhole-
some, if not distinctly poisonous at

COrDOral Punishment.

Every now and then IL paper gets
off something sickly about the brutal
ity'' of corporal punishment in school.
The Cumberland independent, quot
ing from the Chicago Herald, is the
latest offender.
About the same time, however, the
following Hagerstown dispatch APP
peared IN the Baltimore Sun:
The school commissioners yesterday took
action on the matter of several pupils expelled
from a country school for bad conduct. The
action of the teachers who expelled the pupils
was Endorsed.
What those pupils really needed was
not expulsion, but a good sound
thrashing.
Instead, however, their "bad con-
duct is allowed to work forfeiture of
their right to public school education.
The worst is-it is change for them
from bad to worse, officially endorsed.
"How sharper than serpent's tooth
it is' for ''a thankless child'' to have
custodians who understand neither the
morals of original SIM nor the mathe-
MATES of the correction which, by
Punihing for sin, saves the sinner.

FRosTBURG, Mp, Dec. 20, 1898.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
A communication in the last num-
Der of the Homecoming Star contains
objections to some of the statements in
my recent letter in your paper.
The writer, signing his letter IA
Platform Republican, states that the
work of the SUBJ reasurer's office is so
simple that it can be done AS we'll by
green men as by those of experience
Without discussing the question as
to whether this can be true of any
kind of work, will say that I have
always understood the facts to be quite
the contrary. | have been told by
persons in position to know that the
work is very complicated and can only
be successfully performed by expert
enced men. The sub-Treasurer him
self is said to be the real 'automaton'
whose duties consist principally in
drawing his salary while the work
of the Office is carried on by the sub
ordlnates. and that the real reason
Mr.. Sloan does not desire to dismiss
any of the clerks is--he is under bond
and does not care to take the risk of
loss which might result from errors of
green men.
In another place it is asked
Would Mr.. Sloan, who is an employer, re-
tain clerks in his store who were giving their
trade, (votes and inhuence) to rival con-
Germ?
In the case under discussion the
people are the employers and the ques-
ton naturally arises, what is the rival
concern? "a Platform Republican"
appears In this case to have uncon-
sciously adopted the usual spollsman's
posltlon-that the party in control is
the employer and the minority party
is not sin it," SO absorbed is he in
the welfare of his own party that he
has quite lost sight Of the fast that the
general public has any rights which
ought to be considered.
This disregard of the rights of the
minority is one of the many bad fea
lures Of the spoils system. Take, for
example, our State of Maryland. If
man is so unfortunate that his con-
scientious scruples lead him into the
Prohibition or Populist party, he is
forever prohibited from entering the
public service, no matter how we'll his
talents may fit him for it. This be-
cause it is not likely his party will
ever be in power. And yet this Is a
country where all men are supposed
to have equal rights in the govern
ment and public affairs.
Another statement ia this letter
from IA Platform Republican" H.
Illustrates, probably. the worst feature
of the spoils system, and runs as fol-
lows:
Every mothers son of the employees of
the sub-Treasurer's office confidently expect
ed to be Tired as soon as so staunch a Re-
publican as Mr.. Sloan took charge of his
office.
Thus an employee of the public
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1898-12-24

holds his position, not by virtue of his
care for his employers interest, nor his
faithful service, but simply during the
ascendancy of the party to which he
may belong. He has, therefore, no
incentive to care for his employers
welfare, nor to do the work properly
for which he is paid. Even after ne
has neglected his duty and given his
energies to the promotion of the inter
ests of his party, he is not safe unless
he stands in with the ''boss.' AS an
example of this sort of thing, we have
the spectacle of man who is to all in-
tents and purposes citizen of Eng
land and yet controls the municipal
affairs OF the city of New York.
One of the results of the American
Revolution on which its leaders most
pinned themselves was the overthrow
OF the arlstccracy, yet no man CON
versant with political affairs in this
country would have any difficulty IN
pointing out one or more bosses" in
every State with more absolute power
than any Earl, Duke or Lord in Eng

jefferson and jackson.

ga Platform Republican" writing
from Frostburg to the Homecoming
Star, says:
And this reminds me that am surprised
that paper like the JOURNAL, which boasts
of its faith in the principles of Jefferson and
Jackson, should be in the "snivel" service
ranks. Jefferson had horror of an office
holding class, and Jackson was so firm be-
lever in rotation in office that to him is given
credit for William L. Marcy's famous utter
ance, ito the victor belongs the spoiis"
This spoisman's citation of Jeffer-
sons antagonism to an office-holding
aristocracy is about as pertinent
as those of the free coinage" people
who interpret some of his writings as
favoring their theory of the proper
coinage ratio.
But Jefferson's 'horror of an office
holding class" was about at par with
his 'horror''of the Established Church.
So great was the latter that it car
ried him into radicalism of horror
of all classification and organization.
But enough is known of both Jeffer-
son and jackson to announce positive
ly that were they living to day-the
one under the blaze of the scheme of
public education, Of which he was the
father, the other in full view of the in
EQUITIES of the vile principle of which
he was the grandfather-neither would
be spoilman nor silver-bug.
