Opposed to Fusion.
CUMBERLAND, Md, August IA, 1901.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
| would like to express my views
through your highly esteemed paper Oh
the political situation in Allegany coun-
ty as it stands to-day after minority
faction of the dominant party has sue
ceeded i'll foisting on the people the
weakest ticket ever nominated by that
party in this county. Everybody stood
amazed two years ago when the same
party went before the people with the
ticket named at that time, and although
true that small part of it was so OBJ
noxiOus that it was defeated at the polls,
imagine the CONSERVATION with which
many of us note the fact that the lesson
then taught has been so soon and en-
tirely forgotten. We have now a ticket
that is weakest where it should be
strongest, and the very strongest part of
it is at its least important points.
Now, Mr.. Taxpayer, let me ask-what
do you propose to do about this? Do
you intend to allow the present state of
affairs to continue:
l, for one, am not satisfied, and if all
dissatisfied republicans are of my opin-
ion and feeling, something will be done,
and l will now venture to give my
remedy for the situation and how we
should proceed to administer it.
Our party needs IA severer lesson than
taught it two years ago, and to give 1t
that all the dissatisfied should unite on
a straight independent wp"bIir"" frk,f.
Start with the State Senator and make
a complete ticket from top to bottom of
good, reliable, b"Si"eSS men.

AT Least One.

In an argument encouraging the
growth of cities Cath" wrote some time
ago:
1t is simply impossible to carry out modern
organization and economy without cities. 1t
is also impossible to disseminate the truth
through the press without cities newspapers
have to be selfsustainlng before they can af-
ford to tell the truth, and they will not be
seltsustaining where there are no cities of
considerable size. with business competition
and advertising and so forth.
Never truer words written.
The paper that is compelled to depend
through its party upon all the people for
support cannot be expected to tell all
1.-THE truth" about its own party, or any
of "the truth" about the other party.
Yet thousands among them preach
ers, humbug themselves i'll taking papers
which disseminate the particular sort of
falsehood they prefer.
1t is to the interest of the community
at large, therefore, to make and con-
tinue to make at least one paper within
its environment self-sustaining-inde
pendent of party, caste, class, or i'll
dividual

1t is amusing to preceive with what quaint
delicacy of expression the organ of Allegany
county democracy declines TO permit the tail
to wag the dog, although admitting with re-
luctance that aid from any quarter would be
eptable.-Cumberland Ners.
Elegantly expressed.
And truthfully.
"Aid from any quarter would be ac-
ceptable without extending a
single inducement-that,t to republicans,
would be an inducement.
Which is another straw showing that
the Times is blowing for the sort of
democrats who are but little concerned
about how the county goes.
Indirectly, therefore, the Times is an
auxiliary of the .Ne~S, and the latter is
reciprocally tickled at that quaint
delicacy of expression

An Unfounded Objection.

According to correspondents IN one OF
the dailies, Cumberland has big griev-
ance against the republican ticket i'll the
fact that the city is not represented on
the commissioners portion OF the ticket.
One of the claims is-"Cumberland
pays three-fifths of the taxes another
that "Cumberland pays over SsO,0W
taxes"
The JOURNAL. has looked into the
matter and finds
/. That the city pays about 100000,
and
., That $4,000 is not three-ffths
of the county taxes.
In this sum of $4,000, however, are
the taxes upon the Cumberland and
PENNSYLVANIA railroad and Georges
Creek and Cumberland railroad, about
3 per- cent. of whose properties are i'll the
city, 81 per cent. out in the county.
There may be more instances of this
sort, but the JOURNAL is not at this
late moment aware Of them.
But the more important side of the
matter is never preached i'll Cumberland
the amount of taxes returned to the
city, no matter whether it Is represented
on the commissioners board or not
A careful review of the last levy list
shows return to Cumberland for Its
outlay of 10000 the certnin sum of
$50, 10TH, leaving $l49,04.3l, (which
cannot be accurately differentiated be-
tween city and county, such as public
schools, Jury and witness fund, etc. The
former sum is 81 per- ceDi. of the taxes,
but to get within safe limits, - per- cent.
is chosen as the proportion OF Sl49,Oi4.3l,
or $37 PCS. 80, which also returns to the
city-in all, $117, 426.03 "a clean profit
on its investment i'll county taxation of
nearly 81, thousand dollars.
That is to say Cumberland invests, say
$4,000 i'll county taxation; gets all of
that sum back and over 21, 900 besides!
The county, on the other hand, in
vests over 139 thousand dollars and gets
over q thousand dollars.
The JOURNAL is thus elaborate because
it wants to show that Cumberland OPP
position to the republican ticket on the
ground named is not valid. Under cur
rent circumstances continued Cumber-
land will always do well. Her invest
ment in county government Is the best
paying stock she has Nothing else re-
turns an annual dividend of from 30 to
40 per rent.
For the county to acknowledge Cum
berland's claim to commissioner as q
matter Of right is to concede to the city
the unwarranted prerogative of taking
from the county every undue cent that
can be grabbed.

Yes, the democratic party will give to the
people thoroughly representative ticket that
will be independent in all things for the
public welfare Cumberland TineS
Not only highly improbable, but i'll
the human nature of current party
ethics quite impossible.
The democratic party of Allegany
county is not built that way.

republican party, not "to the people," a
nominee for the State Senate that IN

cure with local treatment pronounced it in

CARNEGIE TALKS
 OF STEEL STRIKE
Says HesThinks He Could Have Prevented It By a
 Conference

New, York, September 2S.-Home from Scotland after spending the summer as the guest of Andrew Carnegie at skibo Castle. the Rev. D. s. Mackay, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Collegiate Church, in an interview, told of the development of MT. Carnegies philanthropic plans, of his intention to return to the United States in November and Mrs Carnegies co-op- eration with her husband in dispensing the great Carnegie fortune. MT. Mackay said:
 MT Carnegie is a very busy man. His latest benefaction was to provide the churches of Scotland with organs. Thus far, his secretary told me- orders have been given for $50 instruments, ranging in value from s15OO to S35OO. each, so that nearly $1, 900 900 must have been expended in this way MT. Carnegie is fond of music, and although his munificence threatens the popularity of the bagpipe I believe the organs will do much to soften the austery of the Scottish serv- ice.
 Mrs Carnegie has entered heart and soul into her husbands plans. "Mr and Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter Margaret will return to New York on the steamship St. Louis early in November Their New York home will not be ready for occupancy by that time, but they have decided to come anyway, and there will be no change in their plans.
 '.Mr. Carnegie's reference to these mat ters while I was with him related to the strike of the steel workers in this coun- | try. He said he could have prevented the strike if he had been in Pittsburg to confer with the men,"
