Sound Money Promises.

The action of the democrats of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut in regard to sill
yer sounds the doom of Bryan" says the
New York Evening Post, and at the same time
"shows the republicans that they will need to
do something more for currency reform than
to declare in favor of it in their party plat
forms.' So far the republicans have enjoyed
the benefit of declaring for sound money
without doing anything practical to settle the
money question by reformatory legislation.
Will they ever do more baltimore S,m.
That is a very important question
one that republicans, protesting to
love country as well as party, can well
afford to ask their nominees.
For instance, will Col. Pearre tell the
people just hOao and achen he will move
to place the currency on a sound basis
1t will not be enough for him to say
that he will train with his party in that
movement.
All know what that means.
But what is he going to do and when 3?

Right at Last.

Eugene V. Debs declared last week
that he =
will never again be connected with any
labor union as its officer, even for 100000 a
year, owing to the tyranny such an office
carries with it.
By being independent he could express his
honest convictions and criticise labor when
he saw it was wrong
Mr.. Debs has been a long time
reaching the only conclusion a phi
losopher can come to, but it is evident
he has reached it and reached it right.
The real enemy of labor is the man
or paper that tells labor that it is al
ways right-a condition that exists in
nothing born of dust.

Wheels Within Wheels.

The Forum misrepresents the JOUR
NAL in three particulars
/, That it steadfastly opposes the proper
ventilation of the Sheridan, Black-Wilson
mines.
9, That it "is equally steadfast in counsel
ing the continuance of the unlawful dock
ing of the miners"
3, That it sis fierce in its denuncation of
whal it is pleased to call imperative laws"
The JOURNAL has been here long
enough to find out that it is not to the
interest of the Black, Sheridan, Wilson
company, nor any other company, to
have bad air in their mines. THIS Is
the case, lao or no lao, and none know
this better than the companies them
selves.
Hence, it is true, as people at Carlos
aver, that conditions there are no
worse than the average elsewhere, and
that wherever and whenever avoidable,
they are not subjected to bad air.
The JOURNAL has shown that ''doch-
ing" Is necessary-not in answer to the
ipse DIRT of mine owners, but coal bu'n-
ersi When consumers will not pay
for slate after contracting for coal, 1t
is actually the consumers who say to
the miners-"we wont have it ~ The
dock-boss, like other people, has his
faults, no doubt, but when it comes to
compelling consumers to take whatever
bad or lazy mining wants to impose
upon them, he knoacs his limit. He
knows that in the coal, as in other lines
of business, the purchaser is the auto
crat of the transaction.
Hence, it has come to pass that laws
which come in to regulate these con-
ditions agai,,st the interest of the auto
crat and refexly against the interest
of the producers-both operators and
miners, are, put to the test, very apt
to be ascertained as impracticable and
ultimately damaging to all concerned.
But the Forum is unjust to Messrs.
Black and Wilson in naming them as
violators of law. Neither is a director
in the Frostburg Gas company-a con
Germ that had no business being on the
ground before the Electric Light com
pany was started.
But if the gentlemen named must be
held guilty, the Forum enjoys equal
right and it is lis duty to inculpate
also the officers of all the other coal
companies, for in some respect all are
more or less confronted with under
ground problems of difficult solution.
To the thoughtful miners, therefore,
it ought to appear as something more
significant than coincidence that the
only bad air and unjust weight that
are imposed upon them in this region
are inflicted by the directors of the
Frostburg gas company
The coincidence, if such, is strength
ened by the facts that the people and
the paper who do not like the Frost
burg gas company are the same people
and paper who have singled out Carlos
and New York mines as the instltu-
tons which monopolize all the abuses
which are making this Paradise of re-
gions sore spot on mining terra .frma.
Now, then, here are the inevitable
conclusions, gentlemen there were
no unlawful five-year contract in
vogue, making the Frostburg Electric
company monopoly of monopolies,
there would be no Forum, and, without
a Forum, there would be satisfactory
weight at New York and uuquestioned
salubrity at Carlos.

A Stolen Notion

Alexander Davis, of Washington
county, is spoken of as the populist
nominee for Congress. In fact, accord
ing to himself, all depended upon what
the democrats would do. He said last
week
If the democrats do not name an out-and-
out rs to man | will take the nomination.
That tells the whole story.
The IL to | fad is originally and
wholly populistie, stolen bodily by the
democrats and used to defame the
memories of jefferson and jackson.
Hence, Mr.. Davis informs them that
unless the stolen goods are utilized, he
will reclaim and make them seviceable
where they belong.

Giying the President Power.

Mr.. Gibson Introduces a Resolution
Giying the President Power.
Representative Gibson of Tennessee to-
day introduced the following resolution in
the House giving the President authority
to take steps to end the war in Cuba:
Whereas, the condition of affairs, social,
political, commercial and military, in the
Island of Cuba, as shown by the President
messages and accompanying documents
can no longer be tolerated by the United
States; and
Whereas 1t is manifest, from said mes
sages and documents, that no stable gov
eminent can be maintained in Cuba under
the authority of Spain; and
Whereas the American people believe
the time has arrived when in the course
Of human events, the Island of Cuba
should be a free and Independent state;
therefore
Resolved. by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, First,
That the President be requested to enter
upon negotiations with the Spanish gov
eminent looking to the withdrawal Of its
civil and military authorities from Cuba,
and to the independence of the people of
that island;
Second, That, in the event Spain should
refuse to enter upon such negotiations, or
entering upon them, fail to withdraw in a
reasonable time from said island. the Presi-
dent is empowered and directed to grant
at once belligerent rights to the Cuban in
surgents, and to use such and so much of
the military and naval forces of the
United States as may be necessary to Sc
cure such withdrawal"

ITS REGISTER REFUSED.
Commissioner of Patents DixapprOve
Trade Mark for Oleomarga rine.


Trade Mark for Oleomargarine.
The commissioner Of patents has re-
fused to register as trademark the word
Purity" for oleomargarine, and in doing
50 affirms the action Of the examiner to
whom the application was submitted.
Some weeks ago the Capital City Dairy
Company applied to the patent office TO
have the word Purity registered as a
trade mark, to be used exclusively in des-
ignating product of oleomargarine man
ufactured by the company.
Commissioner Duell, in passing upon the
case on appeal from the examiner. holds
as follows:
application for registry, stating tina. tie
word belongs to class of words which are
descriptive or advertising in character.
" lille the word Purity" is not an adjec-
tive in form and may not be commonly
employed to describe a quality, neverthe-
less it cannot be successfully denied that
it has suggestive meaning. If the word
Is used in fanciful sense, as contended by
applicants counsel, then it certainly has a
tendency to deceive the ordinary buyer.
Nine housewives out of ten, ON seeing an
article of food marked Purity" would
conclude that the word was used to indi-
cate quality claimed to be possessed by
the article.
would have the right, If true, to mark his
manufacture Pure" and an article that
is pure is purity itself
My attention is called to the fact that
the word in question has been heretofore
registered by the Office as a trade mark for
bread. mineral waters, etc. Counsel for
applicant frankly admits that there is no
excuse for continuing a bad practice. III
my opinion the Office erred in permitting
the registry of the word in prior cases,
and. while loath to disturb any weii-se.-
tied practice of the Office, shall not hes
itate to do so when such prior practice is
not, in my opinion, we'll founded in law.
Viewing the application as L do. the ac-
ton of the examiner in refusing registra-
ton Is affirmed.
