To the MINING JOURNAL.
am so very much interested in an
article in the Forum of last week
signed sc. the t. that ask you to
please inform me what this signature
means. | have inquired about thus of
some of the very best people in this
town and the most | can learn is that
1t stands for "Cronln, the Terrible :"
others that it is "Cronin, the Tiny"
and still others that it is "Cronin, the
Tedious" Last, not least, one used II
Greclan word, siguifying some sort of
ability in the way OF writing about
the quality of swine. After studying
the hog statistics Oh George b. Percy's
farm, given in his letter, | am inclined
to accept the last Interpretation as the
best.
Mr.. Editor, If you would read that
article carefully and consider it aside
from the signature, you will conclude
that 1t was written by butcher. so
well versed does the author seem to be
on ''pork on the hoof." am satisfied
it has put to shame the education of
an 'Hl pulShtIS. 81 we'll NlOtS -. tue
T." define the hog, his home and en-
vironment. 1t shows careful, if not
classical" study of hogology 1t is
not plgglsh by any means, but there
are points in it that Armour or Swift
would consider valuable AS well a. en-
tirely new.
But now | get sorry that Frostburg
does not furnish the material necessary
to make Il Journalist who cannot fully
expose his intellect in the matter of
hogs. and | am afraid the time has
| come when Council may have to re-
| peal the ordinance against the liberty
of those interesting animals. just
think of one of our newspapers "a
paper that is paper'-havlng to
travel so many miles to get d0tA Tor an
article that he is not emnenlly quail
fled to write about for the unfortunate
reason that the town will not permit
| hogs to be sOcIable with us.
At the same time, the interesting
science of hogOlOgy was never SO eX
haustiveIy treated in any newspaper
in this town-don't you think? If the
article had been illuminated with some
observations of The Hog-Elis His.
tory, His Habits, and the Cruelty of
His Destiny" who knows but the
Forum would have gotten bid tC
settle in Porkopolis?
But the subject was well handled
| in my Judgment so well that it comes
very near proving that the FroStbure
hog is about the only one that canno,
afford to compare bristles with those
| that live in the country. BRUTE.

There is rule in mathematics en-

the fact, however, by the Cumberland
NetrS' statement of the professional
personnel engaged in breaking the will
of Mis-. Elizabeth Neff, deceased, of
Barton:
The case was unusual in that the lawyer
who drew the Will was one of the counsel
that tried to break it, and the lawyer that
drew up inQusition papers to have the test
atriX adjudged insane was one of the lawyers
to defend the will, and the executor named
in the will, who swore to the inquslhon
papers when the testatrlx was adiudged in
sane, was one of the principals in defending
the will.

Strong Protest Against Newspaper
Impertinence.
LoNA' DINING, Mp, Jan. 8, 1850.

Iona DINING, Mp, Jan. 8, 1850
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
You will greatly oblige by allowing
me to call attention through the
columns Of your valuable paper to the
grave injustice done me by the editorial
entitled Labor and POlItcs,n appear
ing in last week issue of the Frost
burg Forum.
That an injustice is also done the
miners organization OF Georges Creek
10y the mlSconStructlon of facts con
tanned in said article prompts me to
reply;
FIRST, BY commenting upon organi-
cations or their leaders taking active
interest in politics and referring to the
Homecoming Star having copied my
letter to the Midland Press upon the
mining laws, thereby insinuatiug that
| took sides Ill a political controversy,
are base misconetructions Of facts.
The head lines placed upon that
article by the Homecoming Star is the
only part of the article that could give
any reason TO the Forum for making
such a statement.
AS a newspaper man the F0rUm'S
editor should know that it Is not in
my power to prevent the copying of
letters and the placing of such head
lines upon 1t anymore than | can pre-
vent his placing II mlscOnStruction
upon the contents of that letter.
TO be an earnest and true advocate
of labor his criticism should have been
directed against the headlines and not
my letter.
Second, That | eulogized IA measure,
Familiarity known as Senator Dick 5
Labor Law" is IL faiSehOod and my
letter proves 1t.
endorsed the mining law of the
State of Maryland, which is the "peo-
pies law and said that they should
be enforced, and saying that speak
in the interest Of the miners regard
less of the politics of anyone who may
have labored for their establishment.
Any controversy over these laws by
any of the wOrkmeu OF Georges Creek,
as the Forum states, was caused by the
newspapers who are the devOut politl-
cal enemies OF Senator Dick, and their
only motive.
Now | hold that Il true advocate OF
labor will uphold IA law in the interest
of the workmeu regardless OF political
luminosity the mOment the miners
interest Is injured.
That when | endorse law Uhat
believe good law Is taking part III
an old political discussions, and am
favorlug one side, is beyond all reason,
and plainly proves the narrow way the
Forum looks at it and strongly exhibits
the biased political opinion OF that
paper.
| welcome the F0rHm'S expression Of
criticism that | made il mistake if
that expression WAS fair and UNI
biased one.
agree that the miners should he
united, and that was my object in
writing said letter, but the For"m
plainly seeks to continue the agitation
between these two different factions

editorial las referred to" that my
letter will cause friction between these
factions, because the evidence is on

Upstream.

spoke of the witnesses at Hagerstown
whose testimony made the discovery of Sir
Isaac Newton myth and was contrary to
the laws of Observation-Disclosures Ne~S.
Mr.. DevecmOn has merlted and won
some repute lately as the author of a
treatise demonstrating that Shak-
speare's knowledge of law was mited
and inaccurate.
The great bard of Avon. however,
was we'll versed in 1.-THE law of gravi-
tation," evidenced by a passage
written at least 20 years before Newton
was born.
Knowing so much it is possible he
had also noted the phenomenon known
as "capillary attraction" under which
fluids rise above their level, and with
out which vegetation would not, could
not grow.
Anyway, he must have known that
water, condensed or uncoudensed, is
always on the hunt for vacancy. In
river or cloud 1t is the same. A city
system taking water from Il dam,
otherwise stagnant, will draw more
or less of it upstream so long as the
water level is above the intake. AS
water lies in strata. according to tenn
perature, the warmeSt at the top, this
movement is more apparent at intake
level than on the surface. Let it fall
to intake level and the rush upstream
to that point will be unmistakable.
This in justice to the gentlemen at
Hagerstown who testified to some
developments of Newtonian philosophy
which the reputed author probably did
not live long enough to witness in the
evolution of an idea which he prob
ably borrowed without credit from
Shakespeare.

Doesn't Apply Here.

1t will be recalled that the meetings which
met with hostile criticism here from the
Court as well as from the press were meet
ings to protest against the further prosecution
of the pulp mill company, meetings held for
the purpose Of promoting sentiment which ~outd
influence officers Of the court 10 act, not in ac-
cordance with the dictates oftheir Consciences
and their oaths, but in accordance with the
pleasure of that portion of Allegany county S
population that wished a discontinuance OF
the Observation-Disclosures NerS.
SO far as the Frostburg meeting and
its action is included in the itallclsed
lines the Ne,oS' statement is incorrect.
There was not II syllable in the
Frostburg resolutions directed toward
the court, but the entire paper was
aimed at the policy of those people who
awaited themselves of Il medieval law
to strike down a great industry on the
upper Potomac.
The courts are not nosing around
for old laws to put i'll force. but they
are on hand to lay them down to peo-
pie who bring them to their attention
through the proper meiia.
We want to say, too, most decidedly
that the meeting here was not held
for the purpose of promotihg sentiment
which would influence officers of the
court to act.n 1t was held to give
formal expression to II sentiment al
ready rife and earnest-a sentiment,
too, more pronounced now than II was
then. The people are bitterly opposed
to the use of their money for any other
than legitimate expenses, especially
ard unchangeably bitter against its
employment for the destruction of the
only important manufacturing enter
prise at their doors.
We will tell the Necs also that these
people believe with Il faith that no.
thing eau change that they hho" more
about the causes of Potomac pollution
than the people of Cumberland. They
kaoC enough, on the other hand, to be-
leve that pulp mill pollution is merely
an incidem in the processes which make
Potomac water irredeemable.
Whatever, therefore, "the purpose
actuating other meetings, that in
Frostburg was as distinct from them
in that respect as We're its preamble
and resolutions.

Abraham Lincoln is often correctly
quoted as saying that -

a great deal of the aptness of the
quotation depends, however, upon the
good, disinterested judgment of the
man who uses it.
These discriminating remarks have
been evoked by debate which

Somewhere Near IA Buil'scye.


The JOURNAL understands that there
is between 10 and II millions of dol

and that the bonded debt is Il half
million.
If this be correct, and using the
average of millions there is 100 dol
lars of security for only S4.55 of debt.
There is a population, probably, of
10000, or over 5000 families, who
average lat least 81! IA month for
drinking water from mountain springs.
This is 1900 a month, $34 900 a
year, or + per rent. of million $50

Yet the statesmen aud tinaucierS of
the city say they cannot stand another
loan Of even half IL million for good

continue to pay the peddlers of spring

to pay $50, 900 interest and $34 600 of

The Cumberland papers give so
much space to the news from South

readers are beginning to regard that
section as more than the real thing.

the United States are expected to put in
at least a 500, 900 edifice. to which the

Circuit Court.

The grand jury adjourned Tuesday
after 7-day session.
Among the recommendation made
was the release from Jail of James
Jones, colored, of Frostburg, charged
with the murder of his cousin, Horace
Jones, last month.
An Indictment was fOund-against
W. j. Miller, clerk to county commits
sioners, for violation of the local
primary election law. This is al
legged as having been done in the in
terest of the combination which re-
suited in the nomination of John G..
Wilson for States attorney. Mr.. Will
son, on that account, asked the court
to provide special counsel to prosecute
Mr.. Miller. The request was granted
and h. r. Henderson was named.
The case of Mrs. A. A. Everstine
against the town of Frostburg for
$4,000 damages, incurred on Frost
avenue last winter, terminated We'd

Its Title.

The title of Col. Pearre's measure
will probably be
A bill entitled an Act to restore the wilder
ness on the upper Potomac and to remove
"the faint of civilization from lower Georges
Creek.
Later-Col. Pearre has introduced
his bill
1t is aimed directly at the pulp mi
and when Cumberland gets the new
courthouse and furnishes both the
grand and petit jurors the pulp mill
can be convicted and Cumberland
pollution ignored or acquitted ad (i6it-
I'm.
Mining pollution, the worst of all
communications coming from an in
dustry IN which Cumberland is largely
interested, directly and indirectly, is
not expressly prohibited.
In effect, the bill provides that the
only point on a river at which manu-
featuring city can be built is Its mouth.
We Shall See.
1t is very clear that, for some reason,
the republican party of Cumberland is
handling the Potomac redemption
business at long range-with a three
pronged democratic pitchfork.
There is democratic chief of per
maneut organization :" a democratic
leader in congressional action" and
democratic head of way and MEANS"
and this trinity communes in meetings
mot intended to be public"
Does this mean that the democratic
party of Cumberland has set out tC
carry the republican primaries OF
Georges Creek this year for George
A. Pearre
Does 1t mean that Pearre, when on
the Creek, is to be "authorized and
empowered to point with pride tC
the Cumberland League for the Re.
demption of the Potomac" and chal-
lenge his party to find on its roster d
republican destructionist of home in.
