Memorial DaV.

This question was submitted to the
JOURNAL the other day by the son of
an old soldier:
What will Frostburg do this year in the way
Of manifesting remembrance of the soldier
dead of the civil wal
Rejecting over the matter since, it
seems to the JOURNAL that the formal
ity of decoration, beginning to be one
of labor to the old soldiers themselves,
should be gradually assumed by their
sons and daughters, upon whom event
ually the whole performance must fall
anyway.
Why should not these young people
move now begin this year?
There is yet time to make prepa-
rations for big turnout.
While doing so, let them persuade the
people to make that day in a memorial
sense Soidiers' day. In other words,
have that one day for decoration of
yoldiers' grares only, leaving each of the
other 3G4 days of the year for the floral
adornment of the resting places of
mothers. fathers. sisters and brothers.

A Word in Season.

1t seems the Forum has been calling
some of its party friends to task for
placing their advertisements in the
JOURNAL.
And it calls on the party to watch
these men at the primaries"
The JOURNAL takes this occasion to
assure all who are thus threatened to
be of good cheer.
The Forum cannot hurt you.
AS "a paper that is a paper" it has
neither character nor influence and
under the current regime never will
have.
Anybody can see, moreover, that it
has no ability, and that without that
endowment it can never be an organ
that is worth the pulp on which it is
printed.
We repeat, gentlemen, 1t can never
serve you nor your party with effect.
1t may stay for a century, but will
never be able to win vote.
AS the wise old carpenter said-"it
is not in the wood"

A Bright Idea.

The Forum emitted quite an alarm
last week. Although the whistle did
not blow, there was enough in the
leading editorial shrek to make the
timid ones fear that the republican
party was in danger of combustion.
1t actually saw two of its party in
company with two wretehed demo-
Gratis waiting for election news from
Baltimore, and thence worked itself
up to the following stupendous climax ::
Unless something is done and done quickly
we may look for a democratic victory this
fall and IN 1900.
Whew. but isn't that skeery
But the moral of this alarming out
burst is this-republicans can have no
social, personal nor business associa-
ton with democrats without mourning
the suspicion of treason by the would
be organ known as the F0rum.
Not only SO, but democrats are ad =
vlsed that, although citizens and tax
payers. they have no rights which re-
publicans, especially those wearing
the collar which the Forum would put
on them, are bound to respect.
This is the worst of all sectionalisms
The old sort, now happily regarded as
almost eliminated from the body polite,
set north and south by the ears, but
the Forums species establishes all sorts
of enmity between friends ana neigh
bors. Not only so, but it makes a
personal, social and business as well
as political outcast of every democrat
to the far extent even that when he
dies no republican undertaken dare
provide for him Il casket no republi.
can preacher commit his remains to
the dust, nor express a hope that he
will share in the resurrection of the
just, and no republican tombstone
vender provide IA marble memorial for
him.
Isn't all that bad ?

Consolidation Of Light Companies


The JOURNAL said to r. Amman the
other day that his name having been
mentioned in connection with the re-
cent reported revolution in gas and
electric light stock-will you state who
are concerned in the new auspices and
give such therinformatlon as in your
judgment the public is entitled to?
Mr.. .Innan-Certainly The Frostburg
Illuminating and Manufacturing company's
stock has been purchased by five persons,
now organized as follows
President md Gene,M Hmagcr-Marx
Wineand.
Secretary-Duncan Sinclair.
TredSnrer-R. Amman.
Dircctors-R. K. Henderson and Daniel
Amman, jr.
In addition, Thomas J. Price will continue
as superintendent,
How about the Frostburg Gas and
Electric Light company's stock, plant,
etc ?
Mr.. 1.-Well, as to that, 500 shares of the
1000 outstanding are now owned by Duncan
Sinclair and arrangements are under way to
pay off the company's bonded and floating
debts, so that its business can be merged with
that of the electric light plant and both oper-
ated under same management. In this con-
nection would like to state that the manage
ment will try to buy the balance Of the Gas
company's stock at fair price If it cannot
be bought the remaining shareholders will
have to take their pro rata in the liquidation
proceedings, which will be considerably less
than Is now offered for the stock. This
course is only fair, for the management have
to put up the money to purchase the Electric
plant, and also improve the Gas which, Of
course, would benefit the shareholders of the
Gas company without their paying anything
for it.
You are probably aware, Mr., Amman,
that there is some apprehension extant
as to the effect that, competition being
eliminated from the towns light sup
ply, the cost of light will be increased
under your regime. What are we to
expect?
Mr. A.-Well, in the first place the ma
chinery of both plants will be put in good
repair, and modern apparatus put in; the
wires and pipes will all be overhauled and a
first class gas and electric light will be given
to the public. In the next, from the present
outlook our expectation Is that by consolida-
ton of the plants expenses can be so material
ly curtailed that, instead of raising the cost,
the owners hope to become able to reduce
the price of both lights to a fair even rate,
giving the consumer the best service for the
least possible money.
That sounds very we'll. Is there
anything else, Mr.. Amman, the JOUR
NAL can state that will be of popular
interest
Mr. 4.-Nothing else that can now recall
except this-you might say that before crti-
cZng the policy Of this consolidation, the
owners would like the consumers and public
at large to give them fair chance to put the
plants in contemplated repair and show them
that there is no intention 10 raise the rates
for either light, but to establish a rate even
less than is now III use, that will make money
for both producer and consumer.
Mr.. Amman, has this consolidation
of light companies any present or
probable connection with the electric
railway enterprise
Mr.. A.-None whatever.

he was competent to judge quality of
water and would not set up his opinion
against the eminent specialist that had
tested the water. Did not think this
was proper time to test would advise,
If practicable, to defer acceptance of

taste, and he did not think it would suit
the people Would not advise accept

Citizen G.. G.. Townsend thought,
| like Mr.. Jones, water contained some
mineral substance. The experience
of the town with the Sprigg wells was
picked up at this time of the year
They flowed freely, but in drouth,
when water is needed most, there was
no flow. He thought deeper well
would be more certain to give steady
flow. Would not advise acceptance
of the well at this time.
Citizen James Aspinall could not
improve on what had been said.
After more discussion Mr.. Crump
moved that the boring be continued in
we'll.
Mr.. Shuckhart could not see what
good it would do.
Mr.. Curry stated that they would
not 90 down any further. They could
not with the flow of water that is
there. AL that is in it is that if Coun-
ell will not accept the well as it is,
''the well is ours and we will pull out
the casing and quit, or we will sell the
casing as it is. 1t is worth more now
than it was when it was put in, as iron
is up"
Mr.. Schofeld amended the motion
so as to have water analysed in well
and upper reservoir, and in the mean
time to proceed to bore another well.
Lost.
The original motion submitted, Mr..
Shuckhart called for the ayes and noes
with the following result:
IyeS-Messrs. Crump, Bennett, Crosse and
Hendley noyS-Messrs. Schotied and Shuck-
hart. Motion carried.
AS the business was nearly COM
pleted, Mayor requested all outside
parties except reporters to retire.
After the crowd had left Mayor re-
quested Council to give the water ques-
ton careful consideration. He be-
lieved the action taken was hasty.
The town needed water badly and must
have water. Suggested that they wait
until water could be analysed again;
then, if it was not what it should be,
not to acceptit. But he felt that there
should be some action taken to procure
a sufficient supply.
After lengthy and somewhat heat
ed discussion, wherein Messrs. Crump,
Grose. Bennett aud Hendley opposed
the purchase of the we'll as it is and
advocated deeper drilling, and the
Mayor and Messrs. Shuckhart and
Schotield taking the stand that Coun-
ell would be justified in accepting the
we'll as it is, claiming that it gives
good flow of pure water that it had
been measured. analysed and tested,
Council adjourned without taking any
further action.
