COmmcndS the Governor.


BY request the JOURNAL prints the
following extract from a private letter,
written by former citizen to a friend
in Frostburg.
just what effect it has had upon the
evidently sore recipient can be iu-
ferred from the fact that he regards
the JOURNALS customary accommo-
datiOn in such cases as this "a favor -
Every man has right to his own religious
and political opinions but am surprised to
hear that you will not support Lowndes this
fall. He is friendly to every industrial in
terest in Western Maryland-in fact, he is
the head and front of many commercial and
industrial concerns that have done a credita-
bic share towards that section of the States
permanent prosperity.
We cannot say the same of Mr. German
or his men. We know that they are allied to
antagOnistic interests both in the way of
mining and railroads, of an alien State.
There Is nothing of the blatherskite poll
ticlan or boss-driven placeman about Lloyd
Lowndes He looks like and is statesman,
a man of affairs, an able and dlgnticd execu-
tive of sovereign State.
| haven't good head for remembering
figures, but they told me in Baltimore that,
in addition to making vast appropriations
for public improvements-amo these, 1t
must not be forgotten, the State Normal
School at Frostburg-the brilliant tinancier-
ing of Governor Lowndes and Comptroller
Goldsborough had cut down the indebted
ness of the State by many thousands of
dollars
In this connection, | want to add that
Western Maryland hardly seems to appreciate
the fact that it has the smarteSt, ablest comp
troller it has ever had. You will hear more
of this brainy young Mr.. Goldsborough be-
fore many senatorial or gubeInatorial con-
tests are settled, or | am much mistaken in
my guess.
| will admit that there were some mistakes
made. There always are. They were made
even when the old malodorous German
methods were changed to those more
meritorious in the matter of appointments
and the conducting of the State affairs and
institutions. There have been mistakes, but
no man has dared to impeach the integrity of
Marylands present Executive or the men
and matters of his administration.
Take my word for it, Lloyd Lowndes will
long be remembered as one of the ablest
governors Maryland has ever had-a fact
which will be a matter Of pride to old Allie
gany for all time, and no fellow-citzen of
his in the county, be he black or white, or
rich or poor but should feel honored in hay
ing the opportunity of aiding in the re-elec-
ton of such man to the high place which
he has filled with integrity, dignity and dis
cretlon. Sincerely yours,

The Wage Movement,

The meeting in Lonaconlng Satur-
day afternoon, last, resulted in the
adoption of circular letter to the
superintendent, as follows:
We, committe appointed by represent
ative meeting of miners held in Moran hall,
Homecoming, August, -, for the purpose of
seeking an advance, to which we, the miners,
think existing conditions entitle us, present
this to you as official of said company, pray
ing that you will present the same to your
president, notifying him that we ask for an
advance OF 10 cents per ton. If same cannot
be granted we respectfully ask for confer
ence with the companies on or before August
10, next.
In addition to delegates at previous
meeting there were delegates present
from Eckhart and Hoffman mines of
the Consolidation Coal company.
The circular was received by the
Superintendent Monday and at once
forwarded to company headquarters,
newspaper reports from Il few of which
indicating that the officers think they
cannot well arranged meeting so early
as the miners ask.
But that Il conference will soon be
held is sure.

COUNTY NEWS.
The Milk in the CocOanut.

There is enough disagreement be
tween the statements of the Cumber-
land Ne"S and Mdependem scholastics
concerning the functions of the High
School and State Normal School to
warrant the JOURNAL in inquiring-
|, Whether diploma from the ultra
High School will be a voucher of
qualifications to teach primary
school
:, If not, can it be properly called IL
High School?
), If only the diploma of the State
Normal be good, why should candi-
dates for the poor. paying Office of
teacher become High School "feed"
for the State Normal at all
As the JOURNAL understands from
the feeder idea, the State Normal
adds to the High School curriculum
only the art OF teaching hO,c to teach. ;"
But in the higher branches this is a
work of supererogation. The pupil
eligible to the study of Greek, for in
stance, and aspiring to the Office of
tutor, is, in 90 of 100 cases, learning
'HO,c' as he goes along. If he does
not, he will never acquire it later
anywhere.
How easy, therefore, to obtain in
the ultra High School at county OK
pense training which, whether dedl-
Gated to teaching or not, will relieve
the young, untainted Cumberland
mentality from risk, at State expense,
of FroStburg contacts
This reading of the situation cannot
be disposed of by such tactics AS the
Ne'os and independent employ.
The better way is to come out can
didly and "acknowlcdge the corn

Ii is to be HOncl Not.

The JOURNAL has read very care
fully Judge Orlady's construction of
rights on streams, as published by the
Cumberland independent, and finds that
the nearer the mouth of river a man
lives, the more solemn and imperious
becomes his right to an uncontami-
mated water supply.
That is to say, his right to pure
water enlarges just in proportion as
the impossibilities for him to get pure
water multiply; that the Alexandrian,
for instance, is better entitled to pure
water than the Washingtonian, the
latter than the Cumberlander, and so
on until the unfortunate who has
settled in Luke has practically no
right to use it at all.
1t seems, however, that Judge Or
lady lives in Philadelphia. a manu-
featuring city entertaining reputedly
a good-sized grudge against factory
towns on the upper Schuylkili.
Another Pennsylvania judge-the
one who decided that mine pollution,
being natural" must be gulped, lives
in or not far from a coal region.

The EirSt Meeting.

Anent the matter of bad feeling be-
tween sections in this Countrywide
started it ?
And when?
We have been blamed a good deal
up here-for following a bad example,
but the JOURNAL has never seen a
word of condemnation of those who
set it.
Hence, this Renaissance.
The first meeting was held IN Cum
berland Thursday evening, Septem-
Der %, 1897.
Notes of ugly import were sound
ed at this meeting, one speaker, a
prominent man, going so far as to say
he Thought it strange that an lnjunc-
ton sued for against corporation
year and-a-half ago could not issue
when they could be procured at such
short notice against the workingmen."
In this meeting one, probably two
"officers of the court" participated,
and Rabbi, doctor of Palestinian
lava code whose unrelenting punish
ment for "diSturbers of the peace was
at one period of history "crucify him"
went so far as to surge criminal
proceedings.
At this same meeting there were
people in the other interest, but to
whom was denied-not only the crimi-
nails right of self-defence, but the
American right of liberty of speech
In less than a month the Indictment
or indictments followed.
Now, that meeting personnel, con-
duct and object, was all wrong. 1t was
impolitic in origin, Incorporate in con-
duct, and improper in purpose. 1t
should not have been held.
But having been held, and its irri-
tating utterances carried out into the
county, what is there in the logic Of
American rationale that in such in
stances stops one wrong from breeding
the lesser wrong of resentment
We may all, therefore, admit that
the subsequent meetings in this region
were ill-advised, and yet it does not lie
in the mouth of anybody to exact such
an acknowledgment without first call
ing to severer account the initial per

Era Tmcnt of History.

When the local historian reads those
beautiful newspaper congratulations
showered on the people of Allegany
county anent the advent. latest, among
Cumberland people" of the ultra
High School, it is a question whether,
in the eXstacy of the moment, he will
remember the genesis of the plain, low
browed, plug high school, which came
into being out III the county, first at
LonaconIng.
Well, at Homecoming the people had
one of the very best teachers in the
county, who became Objectionable to
a faction and who, in the interest of
peace, had to removed, practically
without cause.
This excellent teacher, however, was
shy of both modern and ancient lam
guages-a deficiency which some
scholastic sharp turned to account.
Tell you how we'll do it, said he ;
We'll make this High School. That'll
crowd Perdew out and wen put in
Prof. Tai. McGee." Great laughter
and applause, mixed with three cheers
for the sharp.
Then, as it wouldn't sound well for
Homecoming alone to have high
school, the public school at Frostburg
was raised to the same sublime scholas-
tic altitude.
Years fitted by, and as Cumberland
must always have something with an
extra frlll on it, some Of the folks down
there were not content with the home
Unlocking counterpart of the Frost
burg, Homecoming, and possibly West
ernpolt seats of learning.
Hence, without opportunity for div
inatlon Of the good fortune IN store
for them, the people Of Cumberland
were surprised and delighted to learn
one sun-shlny morning that they were
to have Il High School with two extra
tassels on it.

and obtain a classical education at the

He Should he Rc-Nominatcd.

Without voice in the matter from
party point of view, the JOURNAL ven
lures to say, Notwithstanding, that
the republican county convention
should renominate Davisson Arm
strong for county commissioner. His
record for fairness to all sections,
showing his own no special favors :;
his system Of making appropriations
available directly to the objects for
which they were sought his general
financial fitness for the oflice-all these
ought to place him far above the
reach of discriminating faction and
make him, or at least one such as him,
Il nominee by reclamation. This sug-
gestion is wholly voluntary on the
part of the JOURNAL, and presented
without the slightest disparagement
of any other candidate. 1t means, in
brief, that the people should have at
least one Davisson Armstrong on their
board of commissioners.
