Perhaps Agrlinaldo's latest move will do
more to convince the "auuties' that he is not

From Old to New Quarters,

This is the last edition of the JOURNAL
that will he issued fro" its present quar-
tiers.
Beginning with to-day the presses. en-
CINE and other machinery will be dis
mantlcd and removed to the John Price
building, 100 Broadway, but short dis
lance from Union street, to be I'M
mediately reset for the edition next
week.
In one respect the change will be an
Improvement IL atfOrding ot1ice-room on
ii ground floor. In others it may not be,
but since none can have altogether his
own way i'll life, the philosophy which
takes new situations for better OF worse
is the wisest.
The occupation of these premises has
been cOntempOraneOus with the paper's
age. The first edition was sent out
hence, and the difference between first
and last, inclusive, is ,536 weeks, or 20
years, 6 months and weeks.
That it leaves with regret need not be
disguised. 1t is like leaving one $ birth
place with no hope of return. The land
scape from front and rear is one which
few Sd"ct"mS enjoy, and no other per
haps i'll the whole country affords IA view
which stretches across one State into
two others. This distinction, senti-
mental perhaps, is no longer the JOUR-
NAILS.
Last, not least the JOURNAL abandons
ii tenancy that has been pleasant from
first to last. During all the years since
1871 the business question least discussed
has been ''rcnt." The original Hitchins
Bros, the founders of the big house now
known as The IitchinS Bros. company,
were foremost among the JOURNAL
first friends, and their sons after them
have been gentle, kind, best of alum
complaining. One of the originals
good man, has passed to his reward; the
other, still here, with heart normally
full of "the milk of human kindness, -
has ever enacted unatfcctcdly even
more il brother 5 than neighbours part.
The Journal hopes he will pardon this
particular reference to him. but his un-
intermitting pcrSonaland business friend
ship is the longest.
The JOURNAL makes this acknowledge
ment to gentlemen who are not expect
ing it us ii testimonial founded upon a
long experience justly due to them.
In its new quarters it hopes that none
will be deferred from visiting them
merely because they may appear to be
''out of the way for no Frostburg
printery that furnishes the best in all its
lines is too far from the local business
man whose up-to-date wishes are equal
to his up-to-date pride.

That would be good logic if it had the
merit of consistency.
That is, if the democratic party would
apologize when it does things that are
not necessary and right
1t was never necessary and right
for Mr.. German to bctray the party i'll

for the party to abandon tariff reform

These and other departures from the

made the party too poor, too abjcCt and
a little too mean to indulge apology, even

1t was stated "A few days ago that Mr.
Carnegie had determined to 90 into a
partnership with some city and erect a
theatre "on shares the city to provide
site and running expenses.
This, the JoUENAT. is glad to learn, he
denied.
\ thought occurs in this connection
which the JOURNAL will offer as sugges-
ton, claiming pardon for indccorum. no
matter how slight.
Why cannot Mr.. Carnegie include i'll
his endowmcnts of institutions for the
public good one for the establishment
and conduct of independent newspapers
Assume that he will set apart a large
fund and dedicate the income to at least
great newspapers one i'll caChnorth and
southeast north and southwest, place
them under auspices such as preside over
colleges, and give them license to pre-
claim the truth concerning PARTIES, with
as little reference to PERSONS as prac-
ticablc-would not the result he whole
some i'll the highest degree:
The effect, beginning at once, would
outweigh the postponed benefits of cdu-
cation in score of colleges.
Let us bring the matter as near home
us Cumberland. Suppose paper such
as indicatcd-onc which would not and
could not look for any official patronage
whatever, were established and con-
Quoted for popular enlightenment con-
corning popular rights to education, eX
crcise of the franchise, expenditure of
the public money. etc, influenced by no
fear of one party nor Seduced from its
course by the favor of the Othcr-wuuld
not paper of that character be of i'll
calculably more benefit to the people
than dozen libraries?
This benefit would not be confined to
the comparatively few library h0LitnCS
Of a city, but it would go directly into
the hands of the people i'll their homes
If, therefore, Cumberland would
change the form and nature of its plea
for an educational monument to Mr.
Carnegie'S philanthropy, diversion
might cnsue that would relieve the local
situation of some of its difficulties and
generally result in widespread, lasting
good.
For there is not paper on the globe
that is not in some degree affected by
the bias of those who want to stay i'll
whatever official stations they occupy
long is possible.

AIlcgany's Great Increase.

y dispatch to the Baltimore S,,t from
Washington, reviewing the recent federal
census of Maryland, says:
The enormous increase in Allegany county
. has attracted attention. In 1870 it had So $50
inhabitants, and IN 1880 only 3S,Ol2. show
ing decrease of 524. In 1890 it had in
creased to il,57l, while in 1900 the returns
gave it 1854, an increase in 10 years of u l23
1t did not, however gain any members of the
Legislature.
Between 1870 and 1850 the county of
Garrett was formed, taking from ALE
gany at least 10000 people.
Instead, therefore, of decrease of 52i
during the decade the proper statement
Is an increase of at least 10000 for the
two counties, Allegany leading.
The great probability is-thc census
Ill Allcgany county has always been
honestly and reliably taken. The only
fault the JOURNAL has seen is in the
failure of the enUmcratOrS of 1880 and
1870 to observe the cooperate lines of
towns, thus dcpriving the latter of ac-
curatc figures of their own population.

The Coal Trade.

The last issue of the New York Engi-
ncering and Mining JoUri,oi reports:
The Atlantic scaboard bituminous trade
shows Il fair demand for coal This demand
is increasing as first orders on new contracts
are coming in. Orders from the shOal water
ports that have been closed with ice particu.
larly those up the Hudson and along the
Sound, continue. 1t Is stated that producers
have agreed to extend old prices for the new
contract year. Consumers have been hunt
ing for concessions, so it is reported, with
very little success and are now beginning to
realize the uselessness of further lighting 1t
is thought that within week seeing no hope
Tor lower prices, consumers will place heavy
tOnnageS.
Trade in the far East is guieter than else,
where. Along Long Island Sound there is
some demand it is regular and is taking coal
at full prices. New York harbor trade shows
no change. All-rail trade is quieter so far as
tonnage is concerned; consumers seem to be
little unsettled about placing new contracts.
transportation from mines to tide is better
than it has BEEN but is still slow. Car supply
is short, but is improving In the coastwSe

supply; small ones are harder to get.

If it would cease to regard our annual

valued correspondent sends the
JOURNAL Il clipping from The Alonzo
Letters as follows, and asks-''is this
the way it is done i'll Cumberland -
Carnegle's libcrality is different by several
degrees on the liberalimeter. He writes to
some little town whose ignorance has become
by-word and says:
fyon'll find a site, and agree to put about
$1,000 of your public revenue to its legitimate
use, I'll build you S65,OO0 library.
The town calls a meeting; fixes up deal
with the aldermen, and with an eye to pos
Sibilites in the way of additional tax leves,
answers by mail, by registered letter, by ex-
press, and by publication in the daily papers
that they are it-please send the money by
fast freight
That is about the substance of it, con-
sidcring that Cumberland is a town very
nearly too little for architectural show.

Flowers.

Easter is peculiarly floral festival,
and coming at Il season when its fragrant
decorations are rare, its beautiful signiti-
canoe is most enchanting.
1t was il display of this sort that
brought from the late Henry w. Grady
the following gem of eloquent English:
The vast rotunda chosen for their display
looked, with its pink marbles, its lofty, carved
pillars and chase frescoes, like an ideal tenn
pie of Flora. If the lovers of flowers could
write all the songs and stories in our souls
concerning them, we would make our names
immortal; but SO much has been sung and
said so many words given in vain to describe
their beauty. Even natures high priest
William Wordsworth, has never penned one
line as great, as Perfect, aspotently beautiful
as the wild rose that opened its one day glory
beside his immortal path
