GENERAL ITEMS.
n Valued Endorsement.

The FROSTBURG MINING JOURNAL. de-
ploreS the tendency to inject national
politics into municipal government af-
fairs. Even i'll the smaller cities it finds
this evil to exist to greater or less ex-
tent. 1t deems it colossal folly to
divide on lines of political partisanship
i'll what is simply local business, and
wants to know why municipalities can
not be conducted as an enterprising mer-
chant would conduct his store. He
hires competent statesmen and sales
women of both parties, all nationalities
and all religious denominations, mot
only to recognize all classes and thus
gain trade reciprocally, but, more than
any other combination of diverse inter
ests, it stimulates among them COM
petition and excellence 1t deplores
the fact that i'll the public administration
of municipal affairs all must be of the
same party hue, those having the most
pull enjoying precedence, preference,
promotiOn.' The JOURNAL has an ex-
cellent opportunity to preach the doc
trine of non-partisan municipal govern
ment in Frostburg, and to set an ex-
ample to its contemporaries throughout
the towns of the State.-BaltimOre .Npwx.

tive, beginning with its location and di-
mansions.
The editice occupies the ground cover
ed by what is best known as the home
stead of the late Dr. J. NJ. Porter, few
doors west of the intersection of Broad
way with Union street, south side, OPP
posite the Hotel Gladstone. 1t fronts SO
feet on Union street, has depth of 50 feet,
and is, therefore, nearly square, with a
floor space of nearly 1000 square feet.
The first floor comprises four store
rooms, ranging from IL feet wide to Is
feet long, all to be fitted with plate glass
front show windows, veStibulcd en-
frances, tile floors, paneled sidewalks,
and metal ceilings of latest, prettiest and
best designs.
The second floor is accessible ria an
entry, hall and broad staircase from the
south end Of the building. On this floor
there will be four double offices III front
and five single offices i'll fear-all to be
equipped with every modern conven-
fence. These apartments will open from
a hall extending the length of the build
ing.
The third floor will be fitted for modern
lodge-roOm use. The lodge-room will be
26 by II feet, accessible only through
the anterOom, the latter equipped com
pletely with lockers, etc. Here will be
also kitchen outtitted for use when
lodges provide lunches, banquets, etc
A reading room, II by 26 feet, will be
another adjunct to the lodge-room, and
two parlors, each II by % feet, which
can be opened and thrown into one by
sliding-doors will be still another
thoughtful provision for Order people,
altogether making this the most COM
plete ''home for lodges" in town, prob
ably i'll the county.
Both second and third floors will be
provided with toilet-roomS, equipped
with the best fixtures.
The architectural style is RcnujxSoncc,
front finish of pressed brick, stone trim
mings, metal cornices, plate and loaded
glass.
Enough has been stated to show that
the entire building is combination of
tasteful architecture, skillful building,
substantial materials, pretty adorn-
ments, handy fixtures, modern conven-
ienceSand relishable comforts. During
the summer its many windows will fur
nish ample ventilation, and in winter a
steam plant, up-to-date in all respects,
will furnish the heat throughout.
Messrs. Jacobs & Sansbury, architects,
of Cumberland, and George Z. Dunn,
of same city, building contractor, not
forgetting w. w. Burns, foreman, have
entitled themselves to large share of
the credit for an enterprise which will
long stand as monument to the bust
ness enterprise and artistic selection of
both DR.. Jacobs and his tasteful wife.

ThC Situation

The week since Monday has been
barren of mtercSt-one of waiting.
The delegates appointed at SATURDAYS
mine meetings assembled in Frostburc
Monday morning. During the after
noon committee came ont and sought
conference with the Business Mems
representatives.
The result was another request by the
latter body to companies for confer
ence.

The Committees Position.

1t is not his business man's) business to
say what position either miners or operators
shall take in conference.-Midland Press.
That is the truth exactly.
1t can be stated further that the MEM
berS of the Business Mems committee
have never gone syllable further than
ask for the conference which miners. in
and out of convention, say they have
four, five, or six times sought in vain.
Yet the committee has been blamed bv
miners who ought to know better with
interference between operators and
miners
Let it be repeated the committee
work has been directed to hrIp the miners
get what they have been confessedlv
unable to get for themselves-a confer
ence.
This obtained, it assumes the miners
are fully able to and will take care of
themselves. At least, the committee,
feeling and kno~jny that it has no further
business in the premises, will consider
itself discharged before the conference
doors are opened

Thanks Due to Bryan from Gold Men.

Thanks Due to Bryan from Gold Men.
If the gold standard is good thing for this
country this country will have to thank Mr..
Bryan for bringing the matter to focus.
Congress would not ha passed the recent
Gold Bill had they not been afraid of Bryan S
''silver heresy," as they choose to call it.
Men frCm both parties voted for the bill who
never voted together on anything. but they
were compelled to get together in order to es-
tablsh the gold-standard and shut off the sill
yer advocates.
By being driven into it they accomplished
it. Who drove them to do this but Bryan
Therefore, if the bill is good one, as all the
gold advocates claim it is and as the bankers
claim it is, they ought to extend a vote of
thanks to Bryan for compelling them to get
together and doing the right thing. Fact.

FROsTBURG, ENTHUSIASTICALLY 5, 1900



Is 1t not about time for the democratic
party to call upon the country to put them
in power, so that they may reduce the dam
gerous surplus in the United States treasury
That was one of the few promises made by it
that was faithfully fulfilled, and, i'll doing so,
it also reduced the surplus of almost every
citizen in the Union. As surplus reducer
and deficit creator that party has a record
that cannot be successfully assailed.-Cum-
berland Ncws
That is neither true nor logical.
The champion surplus-reducer was the
General Benjamin Harrison administra-
ton. Inheriting quite 200 millions from
Cleveland in 1899, that regime ran it
down until, in February, 1893, the bonds
prepared for issue We're all that it had to
return to Cleveland.
The proceeds of that and later issues
of bonds to recoup insufficient revenues
under the high-tariff McKinlcyand Cor
man Acts, enabled the Mckinley ad-
ministration to live through half its
term-0H Lorro"cd moncg,
These are the facts.
There is also IL fact not generally
known-that money is power able to
destroy as well aS create what is called
'prOsperity.' When it suits its purpose
under administrations more friendly TO
the people as people than to the people
who are capitalists, to discourage both
investment and industry, II doc$ H.
When. for instance, a Georges Creek
coal operator says
For my part favor closing the mines for
two years, if necessary, rather than parley
with these men-
he knows that he and his operating
peers are 0bi" to survive an idleness that
would wreck the industry and business
of this entire region.
Perhaps the day will come when the
people will be able to see through the false
pretcnSes and professions of party, but it
is probably Il long way off.
