Senator George l.. Wellington is in
good company as an antagonist of the
dangerous policy of expansion into
mongrelism.
He is with the ablest men in his
party on that issue-Senators Hale,
Hoar and Mason; .eX-Seuators Sher-
man and Edmunds, and Andrew Car
negie.
Better still, he is representing the
sentiment of the best elements of all
parties in his own State.

The Charity that Begins Away from
Home.
The Cumberland Iadependem says
"some of the citizens oA Oakland do
not take kindly to the idea of seeing
the Oakland Hotel leased for the pur-
pose of Sanitarium. They imagine
it will have disastrous effect upon
the town as summer resort" Then
assuming the benign characters of
guide, philosopher, and friend" the
independent continues:
Put a sanitarium is a resort for all the year
round, and the hotel property being used
for that purpose will clear the field for another
hotel and widen the business opportunities in
many other respects. The santarum will of
itself intuse new business impulse into the
energies of the town, which must get rid of
village notions if 1t would prosper.
The JOURNAL has been here over y
years-all the while close, critical
reader of Cumberland papers.
But in all that time if there ever
Appeared III print III that place slmI-
lar word of encouragement for Frost
burg, Homecoming, Barton, Western
port, or any other neighboring county
town, the JOURNAL never saw or heard
of it,
The JOURNAL will, therefore, say to
the people of Oakland that if consist
ency and unselfShness confer any
value upon advice, that given by the
independent is utterly worthless. who
careth not for his own household hath
denied the faith" etc.

"A curious case has developed neal
Pocahontas," writes Mr.. Pink Wits
kers. "a widow who kept bees
married a widowered bee-keeper. The
bees were aggregated i'll a sort of
honey trust during the honeymoon
and all were gay and happy. The
brides step-daugh got among those
bees, however, stirred them up, and
after much buzzing, singing and
cussng, the honeymoon set to rise no
more. Meanwhile, the parties can't
tell one bee from another. In order
to save a legal fee, will the Journal
state to which party the apiary be-
longs-the bride or the groom?' The
JOURNAL respectfully but firmly de-
clines. There is legal authority,
however, lodging in and out of the
Homecoming Reojeo Office who might
know enough to differentiate the fac
tors of honey from the '.tactotums' of
the gum stump.
