The JOURNAL read the Forum last week
with more than usual care 1t tries to be just
as wicked as when Farrell held the dingus,
but is far, very far below his plane of ques-
tionable metaphor Outside of its vulgarity
there is nothing in it-not thought to ar
rest the serious readers attention for a
moment. Yet it is run by Williams. Gosh
horn and CrOnin-the whole bunch owning
not enough gray matter to lubricate a gimlet.
A little girl passed the front door of Hitch
ms Bros company grocery department the
other day and, seeing tlaring salt Goldfish
hanging out, askcd-"what sort of fish is it
that has wings?'
Cronin, like one of his predecessors, has the
advantage of the JOURNALin style The great
papers circulation among decent people is too
large to go to his plane, even lift were dispos-
ed to do so. 1t will, therefore "do him up"
from time to time briefly, it may be, but re-
specially.
The JOURNAL has an interesting letter from
Sergeant NJ. ?. Brown, Manzanillo, Cuba,
for publication next week.
The news comes now from Confluence Pa,
Via Salisbury star, that Cronin is sage of the
Confluence tannery." One would think him
proof against the intoxication of bad smells,
but it appears he is not.

accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson to
Florida last Monday-not for his health, but

In Their Order.

The correspondent who speaks Of clean
crossings as a desiderat'0p gets the cart be
fore the horse
The first want is clean streets; then both
clean pavements and "clcan crossings will
foIlow-almoSt of their own accord.
1t is idle to think of either of the latter I'M
til the streets are clean.
Clean pavements and "clcan crossings
mean, also, clean houses, and these, in their
turn, mean improved health and longer life.
But as long as the town has Councils who
are ON the lookout for need of more and
more arc lights, the less money there will be
for clean streets, the foundation-stone of all
municipal dcccncy and rc>pcctability.

Complying with the request of a number
of citizens, the State committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association have sent their
representative here to look over the situation
with Il view to organizing an Association IN
FrOstburg.
Upon consultation with the pastors and a
goodly number of young representative bust
ness men it has been decided to make can
Vass of the town to see how many young men
will pledge themselves to become members,
and it is expected that at least POO will do this
at an annual fee of 50.
If sufficient financial support can be OBJ
tanned 1t IS proposed to equip a suite of rooms
as parlors, game-roOm, reading-room gym
nasium and bathroom, with a competent
general secretary in charge under board of
directors chosen from the leading influential
business men of the community.
The y. NJ. c. A is inter denominational
and unsectaran i'll character, organized to
help men physically, spiritually, socially and
intellectually. Men of all or no religious be-
lief form its membership. There are no re
ligious obligations to be assumed, but the in
sututiOn aims to afford clean place of resort,
where young men may find helpful and bene-
fetal recreation in a pure atmosphere.
In addition to the features mentioned there
will be library, sOcals, mems meetings, lee
lures, entertainments, evening classes or
night school.
Rooms will be open daily, except Sunday,
from a. NJ. to 10 p m.
Every young man in Frostburg should Join,
and as the membership dues will not fully
meet the cost, the business men should feel it
| a good investment to contribute to its support
| and thus enable the young men to have a
| place they can call their own.
The committee named below invites each
! young man in town and vicinity to send his
name to anyone of their number:

SOME SENATORS.
Mason of Illinois as MercuriaI as n
BON-SOme Passages.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
Washington, Nov. 4.-The Hon. william
E. Mason of Chicago, Ill, threatens to re-
sign his seat in the United State Senate,
and he is liable to do it, TOO for there is
no man in public life who would venture
more on point Of honor than that same
Billy Mason. He has many admirable
traits. He always speaks the truth, as he
sees it. He has the courage of his con-
victions. He is the friend of men, But
he is eternally saying imprudent things.
AS mercurial as a boy, he wears his heart
on his sleeve that all men may read it.
He is an able man. with a great big head
and chubby face that is constant re-
minder Of his great predecessor, Stephen
A. Douglas
Mason is a ready and captivating speak
er. He Is a Wit and can construct an epi-
gram as we'll as John ]. Ingalls,, William
J. Bryan or Jonathan p. Dolliver. never
saw him disconnected but once. 1t was
this way. The Senate was considering the
internal revenue features of the Dingley
bill, and Lindsay had offered an amend
ment taxing wood alcohol. The protec-
tionists with characteristic hypocracy said
that alcohol was raw material and they
regarded it strange that a Democrat
should wish to tax It, Lindsay retorted
that he saw no disposition on the Repub-
lican side to leave wool on the free list.
And then Lindsay proceeded to make
sledge-hammer argument such as only
he could make in all that Senate. Mason
addressed the chair: MIR. President will
the Senator from Kentucky permit me to
ask a question: And then a colloquy
something like this occurred:
Lindsay-Certainly, I viii hear the SEN
atOr'S question.
Mason-Is not he tax on spurious
liquors based on the fact that they are
Injuries?
Lindsay think so.
NIason-I will ask the Senator If wood
alcohol is a beverage?
Lindsay understand it fs-in Chicago.
The big Kentuckian was as solemn as
a clock when he sent that shot, but the
Senate threw dignity to the winds and
laughed audibly Mason fell into his chair
and laughed. too. 1t was the first time he
was ever completely knocked out. When
Lindsay had finished his speech and an
other Senator had taken the floor Mason
happened to be in the main aisle He
looked over at the Kentuckian and doubled
his fist and shook 1t al him; but there was
good humor wreathad in his smile and
beaming from his eye.
When this passage occurred l was sit
ting by a free silver Democrat, a news
paper man, who had been about the Cap
ital for a great deal longer period. than I
have been here. He turned to me and
said;
Beck could not have done it better.
When your Scotchman is ready at repartee
he is a readiest man in the world. Beck
was a holy terror in that respect and
this other Scotchman you have sent here
seems TO be his fellow"
And then he related a passage between
