"A Better Use.

Subsidies can only be paid to shlp-bnilders
and ship-owners by first taking the money
out of the pockets of all the rest of the people
who are not in that line of business A sub
sdy system to be just must subsidze every
class Of citizens, and equally. And nobody
would care to have such a system.-New
York lIOrid.
Just So
1t is the same with the scheme called
protection.
If protection We're equally" dis
tributed to everybody nobody would be
''protected," and nobody i'll that event
would want protection
But if the money "taken from the
pockets of the people" and paid to ship
builders and ship-owners' We're, instead,
placed on ''the peoples highways, IA
great deal would thus be accomplished
in relieving the appropriations from the
name of Subsidies

Make Home Real"

FRosrBURG MINING Journal takes up the
road problem and evidently has concluded
to make campaign upon the question
There is no reform more needed, but like the
real enforcement of civil service, or the puri.
ticaton of politics, it is, we fear, very much
"an iridescent dream midland Press.
1t is true, the JOURNAL seems to be
alone in its contention concerning good
roads as drSUIcrHtum paramount to
warships and subsidized merchant
and passenger marine.
But somebody ought to begin an agi-
tation whose object it is to dedicate
money wrung from the people to the de-
velopment of the peoples highways.
For instance, it is time somebody
should say that it is not fair to take year
aftcryear millions of the people money
to deepen harbors, make rivers navigable
and pay bonuses to ocean liners-all ship
pers and boatmen, and leave the roads to
be taken care of by those who, after paving
the millions, have left only hundreds and
thousands to place ON their own means
of transportation.
If the government treated the farmers
and workingmen as well as it does the
sea going people, these United States
would be a Paradise of inland transit
pleasure and prosperity.

home real''-an injunction which applies
as well to national as to individual con-

An Easy job.

1t is said the German men will not fight
from ambush this fall hut come boldly out
in campaign to send the ex-senator back to
Washington. This will give occasion for a
lively battle, and the republicans need not be
discouraged at the prospects.-Cumberan
NeUS.
On the contrary, the republicans
should feel altogether cheerful.
More than half the strategy and - per
cent. of the money spent to re-elect Nc
Kinley We're wasted
So will it be in this State if German
be the issue.
In. other words, German will be as
easy to beat i'll this State as was Bryan
Il the country.
Republicans should therefore hail
every favorable report of Germans can
didacy i'll democratic circles with the
same gusto with which they would vel
come a cinch.

Sure Thing.

The democratic party has been ofvast bene-
fit to the country in the past as an opposition
party, and 1t never had better opportunities
i'll that line than it will have during the COM
ing four years.-Cnmberland Tnes
Whether -four years will be long
enough for it to find and recover its lost
good sense remains to be seen.
But the proposition to re-instate Cor
man to boss -ship i'll Maryland is the first
step in exactly the wrong direction.
More than any other man, dead or
living, he is responsible for the party S
present Generalization.
1t was the revolt against German that
elected Lowndes governor.
And with John X. Cowen against him
for the United States Senate, German is
as certainly foredoomed to defeat as he
is to death.

Many people i'll Montgomery county
are protesting against a new law pro-
viding for the publication of the names
of taxpayers delinquent January 1, each
year.
They have always enjoyed year $
grace in the which to pay the current
years taxes-a custom i'll farming com
munities generally.
They still want an indulgence which
is not and never was a sign of the pros
perity concerning which there is so much
brag during campaigns.
But the Montgomery farmer, after
paying so promptly and accomplishing
" the taxes which the government levies
upon him for world-powcr exploitation,
and to the trusts for the privilege of
eating even his own harvest at the
lowest prices and other peoples produce
at the highest, is not consistent, nor
patriotic, nor just i'll demanding that the
State and county shall wait year for
their share of the fruits of his hard
labor.
The Montgomery farmer, and all other
farmers, and all other workingmen
should nominate and elect men to public
Office who will so administer the trusts
thus contided to them that the cost of
good roads, for instance, will be elimi-
mated from the burden which hcy cdH
see and fcd and placed with those taxes
he does not see and feel-thiS 50 long as
they are willing to be taxed indirectly.
1t will be still better, however, to
enact a change which will make all
taxation-national as well as State and
municipal, djrrct.
Outside of the system of indirect tax
alton IA trust could not stand long enough
to be knocked down.

Died

Myrtle, daughter of Mr.. H. B. and
Mrs. Lena Turner, of Cumberland, died
at the residence of James McFarlane
Mt. Savage, Thursday, Dec 6, 1900, after
an illness of & days aged } months and
ID days. Funeral took place at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Turner's father, Decatur
street, Cumberland, yesterday afternoon;
interment in Rose Hill cemetery. A
correspondent contributes the following:
lowing:
Another blighted bul, another loved but
slender thread
That bound mortal to this world of ours is
riven;
Another early dweller with the silent dead.
Fond parents, Gods recalled that bud so
lately given
TO add another gem to what bright throng
in Heaven.
You say she was too young to die-s it not
better far
That she should perish thus e'er the dark
earthly stain,
Entaied by Adam on each mortal here,
could mar
Her spotless soul, released from sin, distress
and pain?
Lena, 'twould be a sin to wish her back
again.
For she had not vet learn'd how sorrows
bitter weight can press
The weary, wounded spirit, even down to
earth;
Nor knew she how the thrill of conscious
happiness
Could even perish with the thoughts that
that gave it birth,
Or ever change to means the ringing sounds
of mirth.
Sleep on, sweet babe, there are million
aching hearts
Signing for that sweet sleep that's given
unto thee,
And longing for that peace that God alone
imparts
To weary, erring mortas from this world
set free
Its cares, its griefs, its endless misery.
The storms may gather, thunders roll and
lightning flash,
Thy bark is safely anchored in the shelter
ing cove
Prepared for thee and us by Angel hands
above. l.. e. II.
