In justice to the Cumberland Iajs-

John II. Bath, proprietor Of the
wellknown pool and billiard rooms,
met with a painful accident Thursday
night that will retire him for several
days. Policeman Justus Yungerman
stepped into Mr.. Baths place and told
him he noticed quite a lot Of smoke be-
hind Meats Opera House. Together
they went out to investigate, and in
climbing a fence Baths foot slipped
and he was caught on the palings,
decorating one of his legs very badly.

Where the Danger Lies.

But for "politics"-the gamble by
which it is arranged that Tom shall
fill this Office, Dick that-by which
Johnnie here and Harry there shall eat
a few hundred dollars worth of the
peoples liviug-are made the supreme
questions, there would be no doubt of
the rebuke Georges Creek would adj
minister to the Cumberland faction of
destructiouists next fall.
The county conventions, therefore,
are the places of danger. There the
shuttle takes place which gives the
people at the polls at best chotce q
eciS.
At the polls the average voter, re-
stricted in time, awed by the dimen-
sions of his ballot, and confused by the
redundancy of instructions and prohib-
itlons, gotes straigH, and in so voting
loses his sovereignty.
If, therefore, States attorney and
six legislators, inlmical to industrial
growth on the upper Potomac, are
elected, it will be because that great
issue will have been lost in convention
in the articles of sectional barter and
individual trade to get on the ticket"
In consequence, the most vital in-
terest of the region, present and fu-
;ure, will be thrown away to crafty
the ambitions Of a few comparatively
worthless individuals.

The first nail driven in the coffin of
Georges Creek representation in Balti-
more was clInched when John Cham
bers, of Frostburg, was lifted from the
floor and dropped into the chair of the
presiding officer.
The other fellows from up the
creek'-all except two, didn't know
what was going to happen until the
slate was read by six chaps. scattered
but united, from typewriter tickets.

SO that the fellows who didn't get to

Under Chambers slick pilotage the

mony immensely. But IN an Ill
starred moment James n. Parker, of
Frostburg, arose and moved that by
implication Mr.. German be under
stood as endorsing the Chicago plat
form
Fuller Barnard, of Westernport,
demurred and carried the day, the
chairman feeling sure that the "noes"
preponderated both numerically and
vociferously.
This result occasioned immense dis
satisfaction, especially among those
who expected to ride to Baltimore
upon the foam-crested waves of a
popularity, self-estimated to be oceanic
in extent and tideless in variation
One, even, who didn't want to go was
mad clean through. He couldn't see
that the Gormanites regarded re-

COST OF HOSPITAL PAINTING
Master Painters Charge City Adminis-
tratiOn with Extravaganza.

At a meeting Of the Master Painters AS
ISOLATION last night, a lively discussion was
had over the city administrations "econom-
ic' business methods in painting the interior
of the City Hospital. Several weeks ago
members of the association said, the Board
of Health advertised for bids for painting
the interior of the hospital. Twenty-Five
bids were fled. The lowest was that of Roll
& Son-S4SS. Fertg & Kevers bid S549, Ga
racio bid $3.50 and the bids ranged upward
to $l,22S. The board threw out all the bids
with the announcement that the work
would be postponed indefinitely. The men,
bers of the Master Painters Association
grew anxious and interviewed Mayor Tag
CART. He assured them that the work will
not be done until this trouble between the
master painters and the union is fixed up.
A week ago last Monday ten members of
the union began painting in the hospital
the city administration had employed them
to work by the day and furnished them the
material. The first batch of material cost
$40. The men are being paid 81 a day. At
the end of this week their wages will have
amounted TO $40. One of the master paint
ers asked one of the men at work at the
hospital yesterday how much of the job had
been done. He replied that it was not half
done.
I'VE expect to get all we can out of it,"
he continued, according to the master paint
er's story.
1t is estimated that the work will take two
weeks more, when the wages will have
amounted TO $3.50 and the cost of the mate
rial will run the whole cost of the work up
10 N,oVO or more. The master painters say
that representatives of the union, which
has been on a strike for many months, went
To the mayor and asked that the work be
given to the union, and their request was
complied with, though the expense of the
work is doubled.
