COUNTY NEWS.
The Situation.

This has been the most eventful week
of the suspension.
The restiveness of the men who want
ed to go to work became more pro
nounced as the month drew to close,
and the opposition to that policy by
those who wanted to hold out longer be-
came more determined.
But the revolt against longer suspen-
sion grew too formidable and unman-
ageable, especially down the Creek
The sheriff was brought i'll for pro-
lection; tools We're applied for Tuesday
several hundred went in the mines and
worked Wednesday; more Thursday,
and at this hour e p. m, Friday-press
day resumption has become too general,
it is believed, to be soon again broken.
Meanwhile, Senator d. E. Dick took
the reins in hand for the organization,
made eloquent speeches in Homecoming
and Frostburg, created great enthusiasm,
supervised secret ballots and carried the
day with Il very large number
As usual, the bitter feelings engender-
ed by differences during the suspension
cropped out in several ways and many
friendships are SCARED by breaks.
But time, generally the best medi-
cine will soon, it is believed, restore
the wonted cntrnfp c0,'didIr.
1t is reported that the Vale Summit
branch of the U. NJ. w. A. met Thurs
day evening and "callcd off the sus-
pension
But as this action was regarded as "too
previous, ameeting more representative
of the entire body was announced to be
held at Wright's Crossing at p. m to
call it off officially. If this be true, the
meeting is i'll progress as this edition goes
to press.

Shoe on the Other Foot.

Abiding, doubtless, to Senator Wei
lington's patriotic course, the Cumber-
land Times says:
1t takes moe moral courage for man to
stand against his own party when it is wrong
than to go out with rough-riders, brass bands
socks on the outside, three cornered hats, red
Shirts etc, and hurrah. All that is tomfool-
cry To advocate principle of right against
a principle of wrong is courageous.
1t requires a great deal of courage in man
to stand against the masses in his own party
or organization and fight an evil that has been
bred in the organization, but there are some
men in this country bod enough to do so.
If that be courage courage,
in Mr.. Wellington, and the JOURNAL
does not question it, why not four years
ago in John NJ. Palmer, Simon B. Buck
ner and others who not only would not
follow Mr.. Bryan into the maze of pop
ulism, but set up and carried the stand
ard of bold, open war against his whole
tribe masqueradinga as the national demo-
cracy?
The organ is versatile acrobat, but it
should never attempt to commend as
"moral courage in one party what it
dcnounces in its own as treason.

So far as known it is Clark money

she was married to Lee Fairchild, a

her in June, 1898.

Dear Patriotism, have never seen
You when you were not beating an old drum
Or loading cannon for war to come,
Or strewng flowers red on pillows green
Where soldiers sleep that to some war had
been.
Women love you and by you know the sum
OF battling SORROWS that strikes gladness
dumb,
Piercing their hearts with steel wrought
doubly keen!
Come, wash your bloody hands and break
your sword
And be patriot of every land
A whole-world citizen who will not fight
Another man if he but give his word
No weapon but his cause Is in his hand
Let Wrong use force; god-like persuasion,
Right!

Mason and DiXOn'S Line.

The Maryland and Pennsylvania joint
survey of what has been known since
1866 as "MaSon and DiXOn's line for
re-establishment will begin September
LIST, next. A current newspaper item,
condensed. is as follows:
The estimated cost of the survey, including
the restoration of the boundary monuments,
is $4,000, each State having appropriated half
that sum.
Some examinations have already been
made. from which it appears that a number
of the old monuments have been destroyed or
taken away, and there are several instances
in which it will require an actual survey in
order to determine where the new monuments
should be placed.
The original monuments were brought
from England. On the south side of each is
the Great Seal Of Maryland, on the north the
Great Seal of Pennsylvania. Some have been
taken by private parties and are now used as
door-steps.
The surveying will be done by the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey without
cost, but the assistants will be paid.
The line was originally run between the
years 1862 and 176S.
The nearest point on the line to Frost
burg is slightly less than 3 miles distant
by airline and about Il miles by road.
For 3 or miles on either side of this
point there are no monuments.
In fact, III the running of lines by diff
fcrent surveyors at different times to de-
termine Maryland and Pennsylvania
titles, there are, here and there, two
lines, varying between 100 and 80 feet
apart.
This condition of affairs holding good
to any extent all the way, the cost of the
resurveY will be money we'll spent.

How PAPERS Differ.

The Secretary of the Treasury says that he
can maintain an additional army of 5000
men year without overstraining the surplus
in the Treasury. This ought to set the people
to thinking. What a temptation to the poll
ticians is a large surplus available for war
and waste! Is it not time to insist that war
taxes must go?-New York Uord.
The Frostburg For"m seems to believe
otherwise.
At least it appears to think that over
100 millions of gold i'll the United States
treasury is Il healthiersign of prosperity
than if it were i'll the pockets of the pco-
pie, of whom about 1000 are Georges
