And something quite forbidding in
The way himself he bore,

He asked him: What the score? ?"

Anti-Prosecution Meeting.

About 1000 Westernport people
were called to order in the Piedmont
Opera House Monday evening by John
S. Miller, mayor, and Rev. Marcellus
Karcher presided.
Speeches were made and resolutions
adopted, the latter falling short of
striking the vital point. The COVER
nor and county commissioners, even
those living out of Cumberland, are
powerless.
If the people of Westernport and the
Creek are in earnest-if they really
think more of the welfare of their own
1000 men, than of the political ad-
vancement of half dozen party
nominees, mostly of Cumberland, they
will see to it that a States attorney
who is a known protectionist of home
industries-in practice as well as theory,
is nominated and elected.
Next in line are at least three nomi-
nees for the House of Delegates, and it
will not be out of place to have, if
practicable, three commissioners, all
delegates and commissioners, in full,
unquestionables sympathy with Georges
Creek interest in home industry.
The JOURNAL tells you with a GER
tainty that cannot be gainsaid that the
lair Of the lion of anti-pulp mill
pollution is in the predominance of
the republican party on Georges Creek,
but of the advantages of which the
Creek annually strips itself and hands
them over to Cumberland.
And instead of appealing to thrones
which have no power the old monarch
must be bravely bearded in his den.
Georges Greek republicans should
take possession of this years county
conventions and, once at least, see to it
that no man is nominated for any of the
places named who favors the destruc-
ton of the region as manufacturing
as well as a mining centre.
Later.-If the people of Westernport
want to see that this will be no year
for dalliance, let them read W. G.
Mellinger's letter in the Cumberland
Ladpendent, Sd inst. He is type of
the crowd that seems to think they
own, not only the river by "prior
rights" whatever they are, but the
States attorney and grand juries, be-
ing at their doors, are at their full
command also. 1t is manifest that, in
their estimation, all they have to do is
-''press the BUTTON" even if it
.'bankrupts the county,"

1t is in order to remark that Cum
berland election expenses for this
spring have begun. These, like injunc-
tons against the pulp mills, were
found to be too costly for the city.
So by some legislative hocus pocus this
expense was loaded on the county
the poor county, whose only alter
native under such auspices seems to
be to maintain the peace of the desert
OF the unpaid taxes so per cent. is
due the county by Cumberland.
Whence the people of Georges Creek
can see whose cash the commissioners
are compelled to use to pay the ex-
penses of home industry destruction.
The late grand jury indicted Cum
berland man for attempting suicide,
and didn't do a thing to the crowd
who set the "public meeting" prece-
dent September %, 1897.
The term of warden Weyler, of the
penitentiary, will expire on the 3lst
inst, and it is reported that Daniel
Houck, of Mt. Savage, will succeed
him.
Juries still disagree. Doubts of
Matthew H. Jones mental RESPONSE
bility, it is believed, had much to do
with the division among the Jurors.
1t is singular fact that, analysed, the
disagreement at Hagerstown concern.
ing Potomac pollution was, in effect,
also occasiOned by difference of con-
victiOn between jurors as to whether
the anti-pulp mill faction of Cumber-
land people is of sound mind or not.

Misplaced Politics.

Taking Baltimore municipal issues
out of association with politics on
State election days is not a success.
At least Rev. c. +. Guthrie, a Meth
odist minister, said Sunday evening:
The only fair opportunity Baltimore has
ever had to divorce herself from the party
strife incident to State and national politics is
here. This city needs and ought to swing
into line for business administration of its
affairs.
This is the municipal issue before us-this
and nothing else. But all the arts and cum
ming known to common politics have been
drawn upon in order to drag into or saddle
upon this crisis in our affairs some issue
some suspicion, some ghost that has no more
to do with the direction of our schools or the
cleaning of our streets than tadpole has to
do with the rings of Saturn.
Economy, health, education and morality
are the issues involved, and every voter ought
to lay it to heart on Tuesday that he is not
one whit less loyal to his party next fall or
next year by voting for the best man now,
In one appeal by a public speaker
the people were told that a democratic
victory would be "sad news to William
Mckinley" but why a defeat for
ECONOMY" or a triumph for "health'
"a loss to education" or gain to
morality" in Baltimore should dis
tress Mr.. Mckinley is difficult to see.
Is il to he a Perpetual Battle?
Senator McComas warned his Balti-
more sound money friends that 1.-THE
battle of the standards was to be
fought over again next year.
Which must mean that the pledges
of 1896 for safe financial legislation,
not having been kept, the country must
again incur the strain and loss of an
other year ofuncertainty.
And sound money, being regarded
as a winning issue, does the Senator's
party expect to fight 1t over until
the independent vote will no longer
sustain the trickery Of making pledges
to be broken?

Bonds Filed,

The three companies, organized to
build and operate an electric railway
between Westernport and Cumber-
land, filed bonds with the county com
missoners Friday of last week, aggre-
eating $l5, 900, binding them to comply
with terms of franchises. Work is to
begin within thirty days. 1t is said
that the commissioners are tired of 50
much preliminary and that unless af-
fairs take some tangible shape within
the time last mentioned, they will give
the matter no further attention.

a great shout, followed by hard bang
ing of steel, and on staring that way
I saw the uprisen and bloody figure of
Capt Sellinger, his sword in his hand.
and three of the buccaneers in full re-
treat before him. | looked hastily to
see what had become of Mr.. Tym, but
to my surprise he was still lying where
sradde had flung him, CRADLE himself
being nowhere to be seen. 1t was all
barely before my eyes when the three
buccaneers, as though recovered from
their panic, and ashamed of flying be-
fore one man, fetched to halt, and
with few heavy cuts and thrusts
forced the captain to a stand. | tried
to rally my wits, for it was surely time
l was taking my part in this business,
and, with few padding strokes, striv-
ing to come to the strength and natu-
ralness of my limbs, | let out toward
the sloop. l had little fear of being
shot at by the three buccaneers, even
if they noticed me, for, as they were
using only their swords against the
captain, it was clear they had no load
ed firearms, and, besides, the volleys
of the entire company had all along
been light, as though none but the
leaders had been provided with pistols.
This, indeed, had already guessed the
cause of, Tow!and and Blyte fearing
for the safety of Dona Carmen.
pushed on boldly, then, only fear
ing lest the captain should not hold
out, and gradually drew toward the
dipping stern of the sloop. She had
drifted some little distance away in
the time that had been in the water,
and, with my heavy armor and wet
clothing, I could make but slow prog
ress, so that il was some seconds be-
fore | was finally close. In that time
the captain saw me, as did the bucca-
neers, and while the former gave joy
Gus shout and waved his sword, the
three men swore and looked irreso-
lutely at one another.

Here was a moment of anxiety, for
now the sight Of the deck was entirely
cut off, but after an instant the end
of the sheet came shaking over and
dropped by my side. I caught it eager
ly and gave a strong pull, which showed
that it was fast, and began to draw
myself UP.
Now, indeed, was hard put to it, for
not only was on the rack mentally,
but the physical strain of lifting my
wet and armorad body from the water
was almost more than my weakened
muscles would stand. Once I was on
the verge of slipping back, but, with
desperate and almost savage struggle.

got turn which stayed me. Again up
I crawled, and at last could reach an
arm over the rail. Now I thought I
heard a step along the deck, and quick
ly following this there was a loud
splash, and with that the boat leaped
and rocked. 1 hung fast and stared
anXiously up, and thereupon, to my in
finite relief, Capt. Sellinger looked
down upon me.
