I'D. NOVEMBER II, 1900


An effort is being made to form local
chapter of the American Insurance Union at
Piedmont. There are now large number
of fraternal and insurance orders in Pied
mont and rnport.-Cumberland Ne"S.
1t has been charged that the multi
plication of insurance orders is instigated
and stimulated by the old-line, high
premium companies, knowing that the
more '.mutuals" there are the smaller and
weaker each must eventually become.
At the same time, poor people ought
to see that for themselves there is no III
surance available outside of the mutual,
or ''fraternal" plan, as conducted by the
orders, or afforded by the competition
which their rates provoke.
Instead, therefore, of falling in with
the "old-line" scheme of weakening and
DESTROYING the ''fraternal" plan by es-
tablishing new orders and lodges, poor
people should join the old ones-those
to whom they are indebted for the or
portunity to obtain insurance at all.
The time is coming, too, when the
mcmbcrShjp of existing ordcrs-the
United Workmen, Royal Arcanum,
Heptasophs, Knights of Honor, etc, will
find it profitable to commune concerning
"a pool of interests''-that is, for CO.
alition meaning onr insurance order
rather than dozen. The JOURNAL I'M
dcrscures the term, membership, be-
cause the mrmbcrShjp must effect re-
form which looks, not to ECONOMY and
lower cost" as the ordinary trust pre-
tends, but to ScI-prcSrrrdtio", the re-
demption of money already paid Ill and
the perpetuity of the only system of i'll
surance available to the poor.
If consolidation be left to those who
will lose Office by that reform, as too
many other matters are left, consolda-
ton will never come. No grand official
will imperil both his salary and promi-
nencc i'll the order-not even to benefit Il
plan he affects to love so deeply-by NOV
ing for reform that may displace him.
He is the true egoist. Men i'll the ser
vice of their country-rather of their
party, and some in the service of their Ma
ker never overlook the interest of No. for
the good Of No. and the rest ''Frater-
nifty" outside of blood is an instinct of
short reach.
Unless the mrmbrrSdip of the orders
get together and meet by combination
the strategy which multiplies and weak
ems them, it is only ii matter of little
time before another scheme of self-gov-
eminent will have proved failure.

SEMI-IOCAL NEWS.
American Coal Popular


A recent cable dispatch from England
contained the information that
Cargoes of Pocahontas coal are going to the
Mediterranean derelict, no offers being obtain
able for it on account of its poor quality, and
that English operators need not worry about
the competition of American coal, as it is
practically worthless for steam purposes
To this Cashier, Curran & Bullitt, of
Philadelphia extensive dealers i'll Poca-
hontas coal replied as follows;
The statement is absolutely false. We have
not had single cargo derelict in European
port. and every shipment made finds ready
purchaser. We feel certain that the state
n.ent was given to the Liverpool Jom,,ot by
some shipper DESTROYS of iniuring American
efforts to supplant Cardiff coal by the Amer

matter of much qualification that our coal is
beng used extensively in foreign markets,
and the prospects are bright for an increasing
demand.

Nonsense,

The Cumberland NpwS gives out the i'll

"since Mckinley is elected" the estab-
ishment of the silk mill is assured"

land done to earn this mark of prosper

be even-handed. If silk mills are to be

sary.
In which event Cumberland would

Let us see:
OF the number of votes cast for presi-
dental electors i'll Cumberland the silk
mill got 81 per- cent; i'll Frostburg 66
per rent. Against silk mill i'll Cumber-
land 40 per- c"nt.; i'll Frostburg only 81

OF the number of votes cast for Con.

In Frostburg 66 per- cent. for the silk

industrial development on account of
the artificial stimulus of party success is
IA fallacy that no sensible man ought to
entertain for Il minute.
If the demand for silk and the advant-
ages of IL location for silk-milling equally
invite the establishment of an industry
of that character, neither demand nor
advantages are going to shrink on ac-
count of change of administration.

Not Right.

A'"' Ae'FShs'
There is young man i'll town who
at1irms that Everybody who voted for
Bryan is fool"
That appears to open wholesale way
to disfranchise many people, for what
he they who, owning the earth, still allow
their proprietary rights to be assailed at
the polls by fools?
But i'll the highlands of Scotland at
one time, according to Norman Nc
Leod, "the fool was the special property
of the district i'll which he lived"
Perhaps this is true in large measure
in the highlands Of Allegany.
In which event it may be, following
David CrOnin's awkward example of
trying to quote Scripture out as well as
i'll season, that the 18th verse of the
10th Psalm applies to all who voted for
Bryan:
Fools because of their transgression, and
because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
"Affiicted' with what?
First, it seems that in the other Dayid's
day, they didn't like meat, symbolic of
the Promised full dinner-pail," and,
second, they had habit of drawing
NEAR unto the gates of DEATH" which
might apply as well to worshipping
Mark Hanna instead of the Lord, as to
voting for Bryan instead of the devil
Concerning this none can tell, for some
history is yet to be written.
But the moral of this dissertation is
it is not polite, just nor right for one
man, presumably free, to characterize
another man as fool who expresses by
less of two evils submitted By lar to

commenced in department No. / Of the

Mathews was. entitled to the property.
AS soon as the verdict was read the

The testimony showed that in Novem-
Der of 1898 Mathews Dan a Mrs. MOrri-
son, who owned the instrument, $3.50 ond

vile. Constable Smith, who siezed the
property placed it in a warehouse owne |
