Where the Money Goes.

If the movement for good roads be-

those of army and navy officers and ship
owners and contractors, time NAV
soon come when candidates for Congress
may have to pledge themselves to do at
least as much for the thoroughfares of

Sonnet hing for that S65OO-

John Tharpe has been convicted at Centre
vile, Md, of burning a dwelling and State
Fire Marshal Price is kicking his heels in
glee at something to show for his s., 800
salary grab. This is the first conviction made
since the State put on this worthless but ex-
pensive frill. There is nothing to show,
either, that the fire marshal had ANYTHING to
do with the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES GioJe
The GIobr forgets that the fire mar
shalShlp is an office that, i'll supporting
Smith, the democracy of Allegany coun-
ty, without knowing it, fought with all
its might to fill with one of its own
citizens, and then missed getting there
by several hundred miles.
In briefer terms, the campaign was
unconsciously waged for Avirett but
really for Price.
What the party would have done had
1t been aware it was differentiating be-
tween Price and Avirett is not now per
tinent.
But, as said elsewhere, voting for and
banking ON party success AS the x,,In-
m"m b0""m of prosperity" to other
than otfice-holders is indulgence of faith
i'll rank superstition.

Occasion for Care.

The proposal of some people, mostly
i'll Southern Maryland, to convene the
Legislature in special session to amend the
election law so as to disqualify illiteracy,
especially colored illiteracy, for the exer-
else of suffrage, is serious enough to
warrant the governor i'll going slow"
AS the matter stands, president Nc
Kinley, very shrewdly, appears to be OPP
posed to the scheme of il faction of his
party to reduce the representative force
of the South on account of just such dis
reimbursement as is now proposed i'll
Maryland. He knows we'll enough that
the South can never be broken up to vote
ON economical issues so long as his party
stands for black domination over white
people. He would therefore, probably
veto any measure looking to that end.
Meanwhile, it may not be polite here
i'll Maryland to furnish more provocation
to those who, i'll the supposed interest
Of party, would strip the South of
its representative strength, especially
when no stronger reason can be given
for the movement than that democratic
supremacy i'll the State is imperiled by
black illiteracy. A movement so based
will almost aSSuredly recoil.
This is case, therefore, wherein the
democracy might better stay in the fry
ing-pan than jump into the fire.

Election Of United States Senators by

Completion of the Nicaragua Canal.

If government can be utilized as an
eleemosynary scheme for the benefit of
trans-isthmus shipping interests and of
relieving the Filipinos from the privilege
as well as responsibility of trying to
govern themselves, why cannot its pater-
nalism be invoked to make rural transit
both profitable and pleasant to those who
wrest the taxes from the soil?
Why should not governmental 'char-

Defective Warrants.

In its report of court proceedings We'd
nesday the Cumberland Times says
One magistrate had sent up a copy from his
records nicely type written, but had neglected
to sign his name. Judge Sloan, in quashing
the proceedings, remarked that the justice
seemed to have a typewriter, but no pen.
In several instances there were no warrants.
An amusing case was where the papers sent
up by the magistrate stated that the defend
ant plead guilty, and took an appeal. An
other person was charged with disturbing re-
liglous worship, but the warrant didn't STATE
where, how or when.
After disposing of large number of cases
in this way His Honor judge Sloan remarked
that he thought it would be a saving to the
taxpayers Of Allegany county if school of
justices were started.
Asking the amiahle judges pardon
so long as magistrates, cOnStablcS, con-
gresSmcn, etc are strenuous antl-merit
publicists, why establish another depart
mcnt of public education to be rcpudi-
ated on the stump and at the polls:

Reported Purchase.

The item below is current:
A party of Pittsburg capitalists has pur-
chased 200 acres of coal lands near Western
port, this county, from the Logsdon heirs,
now residing in Chicago. The price paid was
in the neighbOrhoOd of $50 ono. A cOking
plant and complete fuel mining plant will
be installed. The first coking test will be
made from the product of six foot vein
opened at Clarysville, on the old National
pike, between Cumberland and Frostbnrg.
The JOURNAL is not willingly skeptical

why do large owners of the foot and
other veins, said to be good bases for
cokins, abandon their own holdings and

Speaking Of reorganization of the demo-

Isle, Morton, Fairchild Whitney, Dickinson
and Hewitt are to be kept out because they
did not vote for Bryan, are Boutwell,, Schurz,
Web. Davis, Towne and Wellington to have
hand in it because they did support him?
With that question some of the
smart Alecks' who want to perpetuate
campaigns of doom under Altgeld, Jones

not man named who would not have
supported sound-moncy democrat more
readily than he did Bryan.

How Often I?

Apropos of the estimated Treasury surplus
of $50, 900, 600, the Philadelphia record says
Although the Federal Government will
this year take from the pockets of the people
$50 900, 600 more than the entire expenses of
all branches of administration and expects
next year to receive similarly surplus OF
S3O, O0O, 900, there is no talk in any quarter
where authority is lodged of cutting down
the war taxes that are still wiCkedly imposed
upon the people. The republican way of
dealing with Treasury surplus is to spend
it, no matter how vast its proportions. If the
plain people who pay for it all do not Ike
the plan, they must put the opposition in
power, or suffer continued spOiIatlon at the
whims of eXtravagant public servants.
We heartily approve the criticism of the
Record. but the opposition that appeals to
1.-THE plain people to be put in power owes
these PLAN people the duty of planting itself
on the old fashioned principle of not tamper-
ing with the peoples currency, as well as on
the old. fashioned principle of economy.
