How You Are Represented (?)

Concluding an article upon a trans
parent steal, the New York II'orH says
This then is what the Ship.Subsidy bill
would do, summed in a sentence:
1t would take from the pockets of IS, OOO, 900
people $1,000, COCA year to pat into the pockets
of less than two dozen private business con-
Germs all told.
What Sixth district man will affirm
that Messrs. Wellington, McComas and
Pearre, voting for this bill. will therein
represent his interests:
Yet it is almost certainly safe to ex-
poet that at least two of these men, both
glorying i'll anti-merit pretensions, will
forget the interests of their constituents
and represent, instead, those of the
less than two dozen private business
concerns comprising, comparatively,
fewer people, and these notconstituents.

eventually entirely disappear and the people
be educated back to their old home, the soil.
Rider Haggard informs the LOndOners that
eff the race is to thrive and Britain remain
mighty in years to come say goOd-by to towns
and get back to the land, which bred your

1t seems that the native born Londoner be-
comes extinct in the third generation, a fact
which lends point to Mr.. Haggards warning.

Dogs will bay at the moon and the old
terrier Of the Exclusively Great" is again
baying at Col George A. Pearre-For"m.
The JOURNAL doesn't know whether
the gallant colonel will appreciate the
supert1uous particle, "at, as Il poetic
gem, or how he will regard IA metaphor
which makes him correlative of 'the
moOn.'
But the JOURNAL has had only one
complaint to make of the colonel-that
against his needless espousal of the I'M
democratic, republican and un-Ameri
can tallacy of anti-merit.
When he favors anyone for promotion
under the auspices of anti-merit the fair
implication is-his candidate is not
meritoriOus in the sense of either capacity
or worth.
On the other hand, he cannot oppose
the official accession or advancement of
anyone without adopting and employing
the logic which, i'll the other instance,
he affects to despise.
No matter how used, the anti-merit
sword cuts, first and last, the hand that
yields it.

wanted-Six of the Best.

Now and then one sees a county news
papcr remark to the effect that "the
political kettle is already beginning to
simmer''-this notably in the dominant
party.
If the object of this agitation We're to
develop the best nominee for each office,
it begins none too early.
No matter how humble the office to be
filed, there are few men too good to be
honored by the partys selection for it.
Hence, nominate the best available
man for each place.
This to both parties.
Indeed, this injunction is always time
ly-never more so, however, than now,
for the cXigency this year, especially Ill
Frostburg, was never so pressing, es-
pecially in the matter of Legislative
nominees.
A two-year appropriation for State
Normal School No. is wanted, and
when it is considered that those through
whom it is to be obtained must be six
strong, able, untiring, determined men,
too much care cannot he exercised i'll
selecting them.
Six men are wanted who will be more
than match for any man or men who,
for party or sectional reasons, chooses
to play the sort of imperialism which
locks i'll his private desk any bill promot-
i've of public education.
Allegany county surely has them.
Let each party PASS its ablest, strongest
and most resolutc adherents through the
screen, and even then let the fittest sur
vive for the work in hand.

The JOURNAL does not like the con-
traction, "ad,,' for advertisement, still
less lads for advertisements, and never
uses either. With this understanding
the following sensible paragraph is
quoted from the Salisbury Pa.) Stnr:
1t is not right to say of an al that does not
sell goods that it is worthless. 1t may not
sell cents worth of goods, yet still serve to
keep the advertiser in the minds of readers
and later al will complete the conquest the
first one began. So long as we understand
advertising to be cumulative in its effects, the
success of the first of series of ads is not
essential

Heavy, Peaceful slumber of Lions,
Tigers and bears unmindfuI
of Noise.

There is nothing odd or peculiar
about the sleep of the lions and tigers
In captivity they show the same indif
ference TO danger that they manifest
in the jungle. and by day or night viii
unmindful or unconscious of the noise
Their sleep is commonly heavy and
peaceful, says the Penny Pictorial
Magazine.
Bears are also heavy sleepers, but
less disposed than lions and tigers to
slumber in the daytime. Grizzly bears
usually curl up under the rocks, but
sometimes they crawl up to the very
top of the rocks. and with front paws
spread around the iron cage bars go
to sleep in what seems an uncomfort-
able position; but bears never release
their muscular grasp of any object
when asleep.
The black bears will curl up among
the branches of tree when they have
the opportunity and go to sleep in
this peculiar position. The polar bears
show popularity in the selection of
their sleeping places. They choose one
particular corner Of the cage for the
purpose and invariably seek this out
for the nights rest
The high-strung, nervous animals
are the most interesting TO watch at
night. They usually belong TO the
hunted tribes, whose lives are in con-
slant danger in the forest, and they
possess such highly developed nerv-
ous system that they really sleep
with one eye open. The slightest noise
will instantly awaken them.
The prairie wolves merely seem to
close their eyes for an instant and then
open them again to see If all is quiet.
Many vain attempts have been made to
photograph these animals by flash
light. and without exception the cam
era has revealed the fact that one
eye at least was partly open.
The day sleepers in the menageries
nre for some reason the heaviest sleep
ers of all. and when they close their
eyes in early morning they seem al
most as stupid as if drugged. This is
in marked contrast TO the light night
sleepers. who, on the approach of dan
ger, are instantly awake and on the
alert,
