In a Fog.

The GhrHu"r cannot understand
why newspaper should charge the
town, county, or State, more for its advertis-
ing than the regular customer pays.
The reason the GIeuUpr cannot under
stand some things is-it is too green
In amateur work all its life, it cannot be
expected to know that the public as the
public everywhere pays more for its SER
vice IN 0H HncS than the private in
dividual does. In printing many of the
rates are frcd by lar, the papers of the
party i'll power getting the work. The
JOURNAL holds, therefore, that indie
pendent papers should get the same or
nearly the same rates party papers do.
The Gicun"r finally asks
But why should the JOURNAL complain
Doesn't it place full value on its advertising?
Do not some county officials discriminate
against other papers to favor it? Hasn't an
advertisement appeared in its columns lately
on the very day the results should have been
in the hands of the public official?
The JOURNAL made no complaint. 1t
WAS SOME Oh bnc cOunclllncn VINO MADE
merry who complained. The JOURNAL
volunteered to help them out by sub
uniting to Il councilman Coun-
Gil, plan fair to all the papers and Just
to the town as a town.
If county officials discriminate i'll
favor of the JOURNAL, they quite as often
discriminate against it,
The advertisement to which the
GicoDcr refers did not appear i'll the
JOURNAL. Moreover, for the exact
reason that the time was too short, the
JOURNAL notified 1.-The public official
that it would be il useless expense to his
board and the work would not, there.
fore, be done.
But the GjrdD"r insists upon sticking
to its absurd backlog fiat-rate, ruinous
to itself for transient work, ruinOuS t.
its customers for regular work. 1t may
work for the town for nothing if il
| chooses, but it should do the same thing
for its individual customers. 1t is, how
ever, San ill-favored bird that befouls it,
own nest"
For the JOURNALS part, it would
rather he janitor in ii scavenger''
depot than try to publish il paper on the
Ghdn"r'S lines.

His Pocket Picked.

Among the losses to pick-pockets i'll
Cumberland at the Bryan outpouring
Tuesday evening was combination
pocket and mcmorundn book belonging
to George Landlord, Of England.
Among other papers the book contained
a ticket from New York to Liverpool on
the White Star Line, made out August
81 by The Hitchins Bros. company,
agents. Mr. Landlord had been on Il
visit to his brother, Thomas Landlord,
of Allegany, and had just started on his
return home. His friends here suppose
he had about $50, which the thief took,
throwing the book away. Mr.. Lank-
ford was observed to be quite nervous
when purchasing his railroad ticket to
New York He got on the train and
Just as it was moving off he told his
friends out of the car window that his
pocket book was gone. He went away,
therefore, with very little, ifany, money,
circumstance which occasions con
siderable uneasineSs to his friends here.

Meeting Yesterday.

Messrs. Allan Barber president; w.
NJ. Cochrane, Secretary, and William
Warner, national organizer, issued a
call to the local unions early this week
for convention to he held in this place
yesterday friday at 10 a. M, the OBJ
iect of which is stated i'll the following
paragraph:
As this convention has been called for the
purpose of promoting the very best interest
of the union and to consider matters of most
vital interest, requiring men of good Judge
ment and conservative ideas, we earnestly
request that extraordinary care he given to

Dry Weather.


The dust on Union street is almost
unbearable.
Three-quarters of the year passed and
nothing done to abate it.
And now the cry is there is no money
coming to be used III that way.
Other expenses have been SO much in
creased that it is just as much as Council
can do to save the county appropriation
for expenditure in the annex.
There is Loo street, between Broad
way and Bowery, which should have
been by all means shaped up this year,
still wholly neglected
The notice to stop wasting water came
ut least two weeks too late.
Summed up by Union street mer-
chant
The town is in deporable condition
But for its location it would be nothing but
cess-pool Dirty streets and alley filth
abound everywhere. If you want to see a
difference in town government, go to Meyers
dale, not half so advantageously located as
Frostburg
The JOURNAL would tell the people
that if they wish more money for street
improvement they must soon consent to
an increase of the tax rate were it not
that it is their paramount duty to put
people III Council who will pay out
street money with some regard for the
localities that contribute it.

THE Real Thing

Maybe the journal knows of some of the
towns laws or ordinances which have been
enforced cleaner.
The JOURNAL has heard of an ordi-
street enforced in at least one instance
that of widow whom enforcement
compelled to borrow the money to pay
for enforcement
Maybe the Glrdncr knows of some
cases on same side of same street where
i'll the ordinance was not enforced.

They Wore "McrrN.'

The statement, printed in the GIc0ncr,
that the reading of the proposed order,
submitted by the JOURNAL to council
man Grose, not to Council, "causcd
little merriment."
Why?
Did the bills month or two months
ago which occasioned the proposed order
cause any merriment - Did they not
"cause" so much pcrplexity that Coun-
Gil hardly knew what to do with them !?
The JOURNAL kindly undertook to help
Council out by suggesting, not ''dicta-
ting" rates for adoption which would
largely obviate future embarrassment,
afford itself and the Forum respectable
pay and lift the GIcnicr out of the mire
of blackleggery for work that is 80 per-
rent. transient.
And this OccaSioned "merriment'-
hey?
Did those smile who fixed tcamsters'
rates at high-water mark:
Or did those grin who gave one of
their own numbcr-but the JOURNAL
will reserve this question for future use
if necessary.
The JOURNAL would like to know at
any rate why Council regards the wei
fare of the transfers AS IL better index
of town prosperity than the welfare of
town newspapers.
Because if Council really wants a tilt
with the JOURNAL, inside or outside the
GIeoncr, the great paper is amply equipp-
Ell for the fray, and it will guarantee
to come out on top.
Don't forget that guarantee, please.

Wesley, writing to James S. Davis,
assistant postmaster, in same mail, says:
The river is not 80 feet away from where |
am sitting on the back porch and cocoanuts
are floating on the surface thick as leaves
from an autumn forest. They catch them
below here, make them into RATS and tow
them to the factories along the lake. Cocoa
nuts are as plentiful here as haws in the
woods at home.
