The Federation of Labor has not done well
in indorsing Mr.. Charles H. Myers, Chief of
the Bureau of industrial Statlstica, for reap
pontment. The Statistician should be more
than ordinarily capable and intelligent. Mr.
Myers has certainly not covered himself with
glory His first report, as papers in every
section of the State pointed out, was humillat
ing and disgraceful to the State Gov
Lowndes can easily find man better fitted
for Statistcan than Mr. Myers, and one
whose work will reflect credit upon the State
and be of distinct advantage to its enterprises
Baltimore NewS.
This is as probably true as strange.
Strange, because MIR. Myers has had
the able assistance of that particular
friend of labor, Hon. David E. Dick.
But what Mr.. Dick was doing in all
the last two years under State pay in
structing Mr.. Myers nobody seems to
know, fol- his effort is manifestly
a fiat failure.
Because wnen Mr.. Myers was here

c. o. Towles, Frostburg's popular
Photographic artist, returned this week
from a tour which took in Pittsburg,
Pa, Youngstown, Ohio, and other
cities, wherein he harvested some prac-
teal pointers touching the manipula-
ton of the newest and most difficult of
processes-,"the carbon photograph. y
This type OF picture is at once the
most artistic and durable of all the
portraltures yet perfected in photog-
raphy. The colors range in shade
from red to black, all productive of
pleasing effect. This work can be had
as yet only in some city galleries, but
Towles, on the alert, always keeps
Frostburg abreast of other metropol-
itan centres. When certain materials
arrive in a few days, he will be ready
to furnish carbon photos to our entire
up-to-date community.
To-day he will ship magnificent
portrait of pretty girl to the State
Photographers Association of Penn

The Difference,

Hon. j. X. Jones, chairman of the
national democratic committee, issues
an address to the devotees of ''reg-
ularity," in which he says, in effect,
that even if he could will otherwise,
"silver will be the ISSUE
In other words, he can't help it.
This situation, it is sad to say, was
forced upon Mr.. Jones by republican
greed for more senators who, unfor-
tunately, turned out to be of Mr..
Jones' stripe.
The consequence is-it is now ter
ritory os. both labor and business.
Acres want silver galore i; men prefer
all the gold that the widest commercial
freedom needs.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
AT a meeting of the Allegany county
delegation this day each member
acknowledged the regular receipt of
several home papers, including the
Daily Neacs, of Cumberland the Forum
and the JOURNAL, of Frostburg the
RegieD and the STIR, of Homecoming,
and to express his appreciation of the
editors kindness in this particular.
The newspaper is a valuable medium
in public affairs. and, in so far as it
chronicles public sentiment, serves to
show the wants and wishes of the
people, whose servant it is, and whose
representatives we are. la order,
therefore, to keep in touch with the
local interests of our county, we need
the news which our local papers con
tain, and we hereby tender to them
our thanks for their lioerality and
thoughtfulness.

GENERAL ITEMS.
An CntaXed Town.

At the meeting of the Board of
Trustees last Monday no tax levy was
made. There appeared to be no good
reason why any tax at all should be
levied for the current year. There is
some money on hand, and that, to-
gether with the licenses, etc., will meet
estimated current expenses. La
Grange is likely the only incorporated
village with population of HOO where
a tax Of no kind is collected. The

Philadelphia is suffering from TYPHOID

wouldn't be a bad idea for the men of the
family to make ready to roast the councilmen
or others who oppose supply Of pure water

And then it wouldn't be a bad idea
to have "the councilmen or others" re-
turn the ''roast' to the lawyers, school
commissioners, ETC., who wish tolocate

IAN Accident"

Judge Sanborn, of Missouri, in a
case of "blood-poisoning occasioned by
Il sore toe, the skin of which had been
abraded by tight SHOE" decided
that
What is not the result of design or pre-
arrangement is accidental. No man inten-
tionally wears the skin off his toes, and such
injury must be considered accidental.
Clearly correct.
There was. fol instance. the JOUR
NAILS friend, Lee Fairchild.
He stopped in Frostburg- not in
tending to start ga paper that is a
paper
The Forum is, therefore, no more nor
less than IAN accident"
When Mr.. Fairchild started the
paper, however, he intended to stay
with it-at least until it was daisy,
and then some.
But as he did not, his separation
from it is as clearly ''an accident as
anything that ever happened under
the shadow of the meek wings of the
sometimes benign angel of fortulty.
The Board Should Abdicate.
John G. Wilson tells the Cumber-
land Times that
the Normal School which will likely be
erected i'll this county will be submitted to
the State Board of Education as to its exact
location, etc.
Mr.. Wilson should have added-and
the State Board Of Education can be de-
pended upon to locate it IN Cumberland
Like judge, or talisman who has
prc-judged an issue, Mr.. Wilson, the
State Board of Education should stand
aside.

the people are the true tribunal

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced 1t a local disease and prescribed
local remedies and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney, Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Still Worse.

"What man shall do with a bad
dollar that has innocently come into
his hands," is pronounced by the Cum
berland Times an ethical question.
To the JOURNAL it is IL plain case,
"E. and o. e.
Ii the dollar has ''innocently come
into his hands, and he finds it bad, it
cannot ''lnnocently' go out.
If an egg has ''innocently" come
into a housekeeper's hands and she
finds it bad. it is her loss.
And hereby and herein we discover
that the difference between a bad dollar
and a bad egg is officially nothing.
But, scientifically considered, the com
parative ease with which an irredeem-
able dollar may be ''innocently' kept
in circulation, makes it much worse
even than the egg, now long past even
the shadow of hope of redemption.
