Growing ViOlets In Cold Frames,

Early last summer cold frame was
planted with young violets of the sim
Gle California variety. During the
summer the plants We're watercd and
hocd, but were given no special care.
BY autumn they had made vigorous
growth, completely hiding the soil with
their leaves, although planted ten
inches apart. When frosty weather
came the bed was protected with hot
bed sash. which remained on all day.
Except during the coolest days the
plants We're aired by raising the sash
mt one side.
They gave an abundance of large
long stcmmed blossoms all through the
winter. The single variety does better
in cold frames than the double kinds,
and the California seems the best va
riety, bearing large flowers and leaves.

A Reason Wanted.

Over Cuba we assumed no sovereignty
over the philippines we did. That soy
reignty was assumed by treaty which Mr..
Bryan himself advocated. A democratic
president might haul down the flag in the
Philippines, and neglect the duties imposed
by the sovereignty accepted under that treaty,
but there will be no democratic president to
perform this ignoble function. Cumberland
News.
Why not, then, ''call off, the election
Before doing so, however, can the
.N""S explain ~hy "~r' emancipated
Cuba and enslaved the Philippines?
The JOURNAL, admitting that it does not
believe the United States ever had any
lawful business i'll Cuba, much less III
the Philippines, and regardless of any
thing done or und0ne by Mr.. Bryan,
would like to learn, nevertheless, the
exact reason, as understood by the Ne~S,
"hg "wc" answered the Cuban appeal
with bread and the Philippine entreaty
with Il stone!
The JOURNAL asks, furthermore, be-
cause it is convinced that the reason is
one which the sanctity of the flag will
not glorify.

All votes should be cast for the gener-

Hence, although it would be very
embarrassing question for both Messrs
Pearre and Littlc-whom do you favor
for next postmaster of FroStburg?
would it not be far more manly for
voters to have the matter understood be-
fore voting than to kick against the
congressman choice after they had

And, after all, wouldn't each nominee
in that event endeavor to select the best
qualified and least Objectionable eligible

A Peril.

w. Boyd Smith. farmer, has filed a
suit asking for an injunction to restrain
the county commissioners and Owen
Price, county treasurer from paying
over to the city $4,000 set apart for the
maintenance of roads within the limits
of Cumberland.
Mr.. Smith takes this step in order to
show the town of Cumberland that il
cannot take a portion of his taxes for
use on its streets and again tax him for
the privilege of driving over its streets.
He has undeniably good case-if the
town does not surrender to him before
1t comes to trial.
This is the proceeding the JOURNAL
wanted the town council of Frostburg to
institute when the commissioners threat
ened to withhold the 81, 100 usually al
lotted for town roads here in order to
get command of the lookup.
In other words, the JOURNAL wanted
the commissioners to see that if it was
within their province for any reason to
deny Frostburg its quota, no other town
should have the gratuity either.
But Council didn't have the nerve
possibly some other qualities were lack.
ing.
The commissioners had their way.
But if Mr.. Smith "holds ont faithful y
the county appropriation to all towns is
in peril
With the keys of the lookup scattered
and the annual 81, 100 gone, what this
town will do for street money the Lord
only knows!

Some HiStOrY.

1t is n common occurrence to hear the
complaint that "none but "A rich man
can run for Office such as congress
man, senator, governor, etc.
In the next breath the conditions
which make only rich men eligible are
condemned.
The very same people, however, who
indulge such talk are they who, when a
poor man is suggested, are the first to
disparage his ability and fitness for the
place.
This was the experience of John b.
Shannon, as seen, not by himself, but
by the JOURNAL.
There were poor men, lately aspiring
to get 60 cents a ton for mining coal,
who honestly thought Mr.. Shannon $
friends We're presumptious i'll even think
ing of him for Congress.
A little while ago some of these men
said "a poor man has no chance;' a
little later others held, in effect, that "a
poor man ought to have no chance
At the risk of making an "odious
COMPARISON the JOURNAL will note the
fact that across the Potomac river the
democrats have put up a man for Con-
gress who is i'll no sense Mr.. Shannon s
superior except III wealth.
Yet he is all right; indeed, his party
friends insist that he will be elected
-, la. -, ,r,,,I}L,, Inf
The will be elected -
But Mr.. Shannon's lack of wealth was
not his only handicap.
Last fall he made promise, fortunate
ly or unfortunately, which went long
way toward securing his phenomenal
1,lS0 majority.
With Grover Cleveland fidelity to his
word, he fulfilled it!
This sort of respect for the proprieties
of politics the democratic masters did not
like.
Not even those masters who are de-
vout members of church, followers of
the Meek and Lowly One, have ever for
given him for keeping that promise.
So that the word went down to Rock
vile that "Mr. Shannon was not i'll ac-
cord with his party in Allegany, mean
ing that he 'was not in accord with the
bosses of his party i'll Allegany.'
And as the word of one boss "goes''
with other bosses, it was not thought
"eXpedicnt' to nominate Mr.. Shannon.
The result is known.
But, as Emerson wrote of oman, y
politics are ''explicable by nothing less
than all their history
Shannon, with Il prestige for winning
republican votes to elect, was turned
down, and a man who can poll no more
suffrages than minority party can give
him, was put up.

Graves with craving second to not even

away !
Why?
Because it was feared by the county
bosses that i'll the event of the election
of Bryan and Shannon the latter would
gain Il voice in the distribution of little
