significance of the circumstance that Secretary Root has thus far declined to publicly commend General Otis for his Philippine service. It is believed. accord ing to the late Washington dis patches, that the President and Secretary Root are agreed that Otis must be superseded by an abler General.
 There is no good reason for hesitation in removing General Otis from supreme command i'll the Philippines. He has con ducted a six months campaign against the Tagals, at the end of which he finds himself just where he started. He has not demonstrated military superior ity to the Spanish General who held Manila as he has held it. His failure has greatly en- eouraged the fagals under Agui- naldo, who are now said to be more defiant and insolent than ever. Having maintained the struggle for such a length of time Aguinaldo is now demand ing European recognition for the Filipino Republic as a bellig- erent nation.
 Ne need a man in the Philip pines who can do more toward the establishment of American authority than Otis has shown himself capable of doing. The President and the Secretary of War cannot take wiser action thani i'll selecting such a man and putting him in Otis's place. Time presses, and American prestige is suffering Patience with an incapable General in war times is a dangerous virtue. Republic.

1NGERS0LL'S LAST LETTER.

The following interesting let ter to the editor of the Chester tIll.3 Clarion was mailed at Dobb's Ferry one hour after the death of Col. Ingersoll:
 Editor of the Clarion: I en- close a clipping from your paper. Of course you copied it from some exchange. The words at tributed to me 1 have never uttered or wrote 1 have one sentiment for soldiers: Cheers for the living and tears for the dead This is mine, but all the rest IS by some one else. It is true that l think the treatment of the Filipinos IS wrong and foolish. It is also true that I do not want the FiEpinos unless they want us l believe in ex- pansion if 1t is honest. 1 want Cuba If the Cubans want us. At the same time l think our forces should be immediately with draw n from Cuba and the peo- pie of that island allowed to govern themselves. We waged the war against Spain for fiber ty and for right, and we must wear the laurel unstained. Yours always.

Under Gov. Jones construc- tion of the law, county convicts will hereafter receive credit of 75 cents a day for each day i'm prisoned, whether they work or not, the aforesaid credit to be applied to such fines as may be assessed against conviets serving on county farms or under les sees. This IS fair construction of the law, and the governor has acted on that principle ever since he became a chief execu- tive. When a man is fined for an offerse 1t is not intended that he work 1t out at so much per day on days that may suit the lessee, but that he be allowed so much per day from the begin ming of his term. To be restrain ed of his liberty OH wet, rainy days, and yet allowed nothing for such days is an injustice that even a convict has a right to re- sent. Ne are glad the governor has made his purpose in such matters clear.-Ark. Democrat.

There are people so childlike and credalous as to believe all they see i'll print, the fool-killer m the performance of his duties having overlooked them. Papers whose financial success depends upon daily sales are not, how ever, as rigidly accurate as mathematical axiom. They must necessarily get up their matter in a hurry, and that matter must be such as will cause their papers to sell in aurry. Hence, they cannot be expected to verify every state Isfcnt, SO that they may give to their readers only the pure milk of the gospel" of truth. They have men salafied to hll space with that which will make a de nnand for the early morning rewsboy. The people have sTgfrt to buy what they want, and there IS no law prohibiting then from choosing fiction rath- 1T than facts, The daily papers simply supply this demand. The New York Commercial gravelv informs us that our farmers have been throwing away $7oo,00o.- DOG annually in the matter of wasted corn stalks that facto- Eies are now iu operation and others to be built for the purpose ot manufacturing all the corn stalks in the country into ce1lu- lose worth S95O ton. Thus farmers are to be made fabu- iously rich so quickly 1t will make them dizzy. The Nashville American has also given a glow ing account of the wonderful wealth-producing power of dried corn stalks. The pith is to be made into cellulose, the siliceous shell is to be chemically treated and a number of valuable sub stances extracted, and the re- niaining crude fiber Is to be dried and ground into meal which is to be considered the most nu- tritious stock feed known. Much of this is impalpable gas. Trip Ter should test his liquid air ma chine on 1t to see if combina- tion of infinite pressure and un- limited frigidity could reduce it to a correspondence with facts. This cellulose is intended solely for the use in the defensive armor of the battleships. It is esti- mated by the manufacturers that fifteen tons of stalks will make one ton of cellulose. and fifty tons of cellulose one battle ship. Therefore 750 acres would supply one battleship, 75OO acres 10 battleships. and 75,- 900 acres 100 battleships. The

 StMPsoN-Trayis, the eleven year-old child of Mr and Mrs. |. II. Simpson, of Fountain Hill. died July 18th, Of typhoid fever. His remains were inferred in the Nor ris Cemetery. His illness was long and painful, vet he bore it bravely. He leaves father, mother and two little sisters, besides loving grand parents and other near relatives. to mourn his loss.
 Travis was indeed a noble little boy, and had he lived he would have done many noble acts for Te- sus for, although young, he never thought of missing Sunday school or Church services, but went to Gods house every Sabbath to study His Holy word.
 Had God not seen fit to take him away, he would have made name of which We all would have been proud In the school-room he al- ways excelled, being naturally very bright, besides applying him. self very closely to his studies. His teacher always found in him d most dilligent, studious und pleas ant pupil. His comrades found naught against him. In the school room, on the playground, every where, he was the same sober minded, friendly child.
 Dear mamma and papa, your loss is exceedingly great, yet is the gain of little Travis great.
 To-day, he. robed in spotless white, with loved ones gone before is lowering around the great white throne, singing praises to our blessed Comforter's name.
 He knows that mamma and papa are coming, too, to live with Jesus, and he rejoiees that he has gone on before that he may inter- cede for you.
 Grandma, we know that Travis was almost as dear to you as your own, but sorrow not over your loss, for he is 0, so happy, and is waiting to welcome you to the realms of life everlasting.
 We all shall meet our dear little boy when we shall have crossed the dark river and entered the bright beyond and then all will be well
 We miss thee from thy home dear Travis.
 We miss thee from thy place,
 A shadow OCT our life is cast,
 We miss the sunshine of thy face'

He was too pure for this world. A few hours before his death, he called his mamma and kissed her, as though he meant to say good-by, mamma.
 Our precious child! Oh, Is t true that We shall sec his face no morei His life was like the morn- ing dew-'tis gone. Our hearts are bleeding sore. Weep not, fond parents, for your darling is in heaven, for what is our loss is his eternal gain. We hope to meet little Freeman, some day. in a brighter world beyond.

Finan is not the only powerful editor
that is abroad.
There is one in Homecoming, tenn
porarily holding the throttle of the
Reoieao, who claims having "complete-
ly picked to fragments the JOURNALS
argument on laws 'in force.'
The JOURNAL is not aware of any
such performance.
But if the Reoie,c really believes that
a law obeyed is law in force, will it
state what legislative enactment is in
force that compels the companies to
pay 10 cents a ton?
The semi-monthly pay law is no
more punctiliously observed than is
the payment of 10 cents ton.
Everybody knows that.
Under what legal force, then, do the
companies pay as much respect to
custom as they do to a law?
This need not be answered, Finan-
like, with bumptious affectation of
a superior past, or superior any
thing.

Lecture.

The Cumberland NelcS of Tuesday
essayed the vain task of lecturing the
JOURNAL concerning its course in the
pulp-mill case.
But the JOURNAL knows what it is
about.
1t knows that it is not for the Netcs'
clientele to prosecute an out-Of-town in
dustry and because we resent it we are
to be accused of stirring up bad feel
ing"
1t may be bad COW that kicks over
Cumberland's pail of milk. but the
animal has her rights.
The hog, it is said, never looks up
that is no reason why the stohd indif-
ference of Cumberland swine and
swinettes to all other than the safety
of their own appetites should remain
exempt from both the notice and COM
ment of those who shake the acorns.
AS to Col. Pearre. who most prob
ably authorized this:
To the miners of the Georges Creek region
the NerS simply has to say that the talk of a
power to destroy the mines being co-existent
with the right to stop artificial pollutions Of
streams is idle and without foundation what
ever
what did he mean when he said
this in the Baltimore SUM-
the State intends to lndICt every polluter
of the Potomac, and that they will begin first
with the biggest, richest and most powerful
offender. He said if the pulp mill was con-
vlcted they would have little trouble with
other polluters, as simple notice from the
health officer would have the desired effect.
Was Hoffman mine to come next,
in the event simple notice from the
health officer" should not avail
If not Hoffman mine, what did he
mean?
1t is clear that the batfled Cumber-
land contingent the destructionists,
are in dilemma. The omnipotent
jury stood between their omnipotent
law and destruction for county be
tween them and suicide for the city.
And the sorriest figure visible in the
whole unfeeling outfit is now cut by
the NeUS-a paper tina; nobody has
been able heretofore to locate. Its
role as lecturer is belated, and lee
lures don't count in these headquarters

Sure Thing.

The Frostburg Breeze from a Con-
huence lanyard plumed itself few
weeks ago upon being the author and
flnisher Of Col. Pearre as Congress
man-elect.
This is mentioned because the Wash
ington Post reports the colonel AS say
ing that.
the State intended prosecuting every pol
luter of the river, and they went for the big
gest, richest, and most powerful first. The
pulp MILL which cost 81 800, 600, employs
nearly 1000 men, and sustains a population
of nearly 5000.
Prof. Mallett showed conclusively
that mine pollution was large and
dangerous element of Potomac water.
But as the Breeze is something now
that its president has never been known
to be before-a friend of labor, it is
proud of the prospect of having every
polIuter of the river prosecuted
Is it proud of its hero's intention
to assail the employment of Il, 900
men, and the welfare OF "a population
of neatly 5000 p
The JOURNAL sincerely hopes the

ments than he has won.
But if he sticks to his word, he is

up to him both early and deep.

TOWN AND VICINITY.


Are you anxious to see the grand prin-
ciples that were adopted by the Reform
Democrats at Chicago in 1896, after they had
got rid Of the leveland-Whitney wing of the
party, perpetuated for all time? Then take
out membership card in the Knights of
LabOr.-JouI1ta of the Knights of Labor for
March.
The JOURNAL inquires-has J. Bow.
cry Williams, labor's friend, taken out
a card
If not, why not
For
You can do more work and better work,
with greater results for the cause of silver, for
reform in the United States Courts, for the
abolition of government by injunction, and
for the adoption of an income tax law than
by any party organizaton.-IbM.
How can j. Bowery Williams pre-
tend to publish a republican paper
when
1t is the life work Of the Knights of Labor
TO peretuate the Chicago PLATFORM and with
that object in view we offer you the only
form Of organization that can best accom-.
plish it2--ibid
Miners of Frostburg, can J. Bowery
Williams fool you into believing he is
labOr'S friend when, as II republican
publisher, he is according to the organ
of the Knights of Labor, antagonizing
every principle of organized labor?
Republicans of Frostburg, can J.
Bowery Williams, pretending to be
labor's friend, be true enough to your
party for you to reward him with an
other seat at the head of the towns
taX-eating table
In short, does Frostburg need a local
Dir. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde-a William
Bowery Wilson in professional labor
and Mark Hanna in practical poll
ties, both rammed and jammed into
one individual?
The JOURNAL is sure the people do
not, and yet that is the despotism under
whose auspices popular indifference
is leading the town.
