CUMBERLAND, MD, Feb. :, 1891.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The article contained in Il recent issue
of the JOURNAL advising the selection
of the very best material available in
this county for her representatives in the
next General Assembly of Maryland, is
wise and timely, and should have the
hearty endorsement of those who believe
i'll obtaining the best possible public
service.
There is no dcarth Of excellent legis-
lativc material in this county, and, that
being the case, the people should not be
satisfied (aS they seem to have been too
often heretOfOrcl to be represented in
the General AS, emily Of Maryland by
men of less than mediocre ability. Balti.
more city and many counties Of the State
send their brightest minds to represent
them i'll the halls of legislation, and
why should we of Alleganv county not
do the same: | dare say that the aver
age intelligence of the people of this
county * equal, if not superior, to that
of the other counties OF the State, and as
Il matter of proper pride and simple jus
tice we are entitled to a representation
equal II character and brains. If we
fail to select men Of recognized worth
and fitness we are properly chargeable
as lacking proper spirit and pride in Il
very important matter.
Then, there are educational interests
Of this county that will demand con-
sideration i'll the next General Assembly.
and viii only receive the same by being
cared for by men familiar with the edu-
c"tional needs of this section of the
St.,tA ,,,1 ln l,,,
sent our claims along this line i'll such il
favorable and forccful manner as to OBJ
tain liberal recognition of said claims
The State Normal School, at Frostburg,
should not be considered solely as IA
FrostburS educational institution, nor
one the scope of whose influence is to he
limited to the confines of Allegany coun-
ty, but an educational factor that will
affect the population Of Western Mary
land and Of large portions of the adjoin-
ing states Of West Virginia and PennSyl-
vania. y proper conception Of the i'm
pOrtancc of this institution to the cause
of professional and, indirectly. popular
education to present and future genera
tons would alone be sufficient to cause
the exercise of the greatest discretion i'll
the selection of members of the next
House and Senate. This is Il matter
that especially concerns the people of
your town.
Permit me to suggest that possibly
public opinion needs enlightenment as to
duty along the line Indicated in your
former article, and that the JOURNAL
could render no better service to the pub
lie than to continue throughout the com
ing campaign its editorials on this sub
Ject.
In conclusion, | would suggest us ii
starter that two of the leading lawyers
of the Allegany County Bar be nomi-
mated by the conventions Of both the
dominant political parties for election to
membership i'll the next General AS
Scmbly Of Maryland. Their knowledge
of the principles of law generally, and Of
local statutes and local requirements
would seem to indicate in large part the
wisdom of such action NJ

County business.

The county commissioners had nearly
an all-day meeting Tuesday.
Applicants for Il franchise to build
electric roads from Cumberland to
Frostburg, FrOstburg to Homecoming.
and from Homecoming to Wcstcrnport
along the county roads, held the boards
during the forenoon.
The Penn State Construction com
pany, OF Philadelphia, and the Tennis
Construction company, of Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and Cincinnati, We're the bid
derS, the former succeeding by a
unanimous vote.
Each company offered to deposit 5000
as a guarantee that the conditions would
be met.
The successful bidders incorporated at
once the Frostburg, Eckhart and Cum
bcrland Electric Railway company, and
the LonaconinG, Midland and FroStburg
Electric Railway company. The former
was organized aS follows:
PycsdIent-John w. BurchinaI.

directors j. +. Doyle and Peter Lammert
The directors of the second company
are McSsrS. j. w. Burchinal, J. +.
Hooten, j. f, Doyle, Hugh Scott and
William Atkinson.
The third company is yet to be char
tered, as the construction of the line
from Homecoming to Westcrnport is not
determined as "A tinality.
The law prohibits any electric road
company from building and owning
lines over - miles in length.
1t is reported that the electric road in

tric and Power plant for use as power
houses as well as distributing light along
their lines.
1t is believed the construction of the
three lines, about 81 miles, will cost a
half million dollars.
At p. III. the county, represented by
self-appOintcd orators, business and
society leaders from the Beacon Hill
district, opposed to the sale of the old
county property, swarmed in the office
and probably OVcrpOwcred the commits
SioncrS with all the turgid eloqucucc
that remained uneNpended since the
subsistence Of pulp-mill grandiosity. 1t
was the same old tone, the same old ar
roganCe of claim to something for no
thlng-in Il small way the same mani
fcStatiOn of greed that is bringing this
country more rapidly than some imagine
to Il frightful popular assault upon the
rights of property.
What the commissioners will do has
not been determined, but, installing the
presence of people living at the door of
their office as II real expression of popu-
lar sentiment, they will doubtless per
init a S9,0OO-property to remain gift
from the people to II comparative few
who are unable to become beneficiarics
of the glorious public school system of
which they are on other occasions so
eXtra-awfully proud.

A Hero Beaten.

% The democratic candidate for Congress in
the Eighth Indiana district, Capt. f D. Allen,
was when nominated in command of a COM
pany of volunteers in the Philippines and
many expectations of his success were based
on the support which he would receive from
former soldiers in the Cuban War, resident
in that district. He was defeated by 1900
majority. baltimore Ne~s
As matter of course
From the standpoint of party man
will be allowed to enlist fight and save
his country, but if he be Il democrat run
ming i'll republican district, on rice
rcrso, he will not be permitted to hold
one of his country's offices.
No laurels count against the cowardice
or treason of running on the minority
side.

The New York II'oH of Monday

1t was Abraham Lincoln, whose glorious
memory we shall celebrate tomorrow, who
said that mo man is good enough to govern
another man without that other mans con-
sent" Not all of tomorrOws orators will
care to quote that truly American sentiment.
Were Mr.. LincolnS remark para
phrased to rcad-no party is good enough
to hold for its own official and pccuniary
benefit the common property of COM
munity, it would very nearly state the
situation Of the Frostburg water works.
This system is the property of all the
people, but under the tyranny of party,
nearly one-third of the owners are prac-
tically robbed of their liberty to share i'll
the proceeds of their investment.

The JOURNALS call for the best avail
able nominees by both parties for the
Legislature, January 2G, is emphasized
by prominent citizen of Cumberland,
whose letter is elsewhere printed.
There has never been time when the
Legislative office ''should seek the man"
with more fitness than this year.
There has never been Il tire when the
politicians could do more good by lcav-
ing Legislative nominations entirely out
of all deals and dickcrs than this year
Hence, positively no man should be
nominated for the Senate or House of
Delegates merely because he is candi-
date for either.
Let these six men lie selected by the
best thought Of both parties for their
known ability, strength and fitness for
the duties of representing the people
They will have work to do

Protection for Sugar Beet Industry.

Protection for Sugar Beet Industry.
As the growth of our already vast
population produces more and more
of the toillng millions, who must
"earn their bread by the sweat OF
their face" some new industry adds
itself to the busy hive of American
industries. The most notable of the
new industries is the cultivation of
smear beets and the manufacture of
beet sugar.
In few short years there have
been erected in the United States, 40
beet sugar factories, with total ca
pacity for handling 2o,165 tons OF
beets per day at cost; including
the land owned by the different fac
tories of S75, 100000. These forty
factories employ 10000 laborers in
the factory and about 10000 people
in the fields, and last year produced
about II per cent of the sugar neces-
sary for consumption in the United
States.
The sugar industry means much
to our country as it will, not only,
eventually produce all Of great
commodity, bnt employs thousands
of our citizens at good wages.

effort to crush the beet sugar factor.

down to 3s cents per pound or about
or II cents below the cost of pro-

by 30 cents per day, pauper labor in

if not all of the beet sugar factories
in the United States are we'll backed
with capital and are making arrange

an easy task for the sugar trust to at
least seriously cripple the industry

the right stripe is indulged in by the
