The CurtrW Law.

The following paper, read to the
Ministerial Association, was sent to the
JOURNAL. for publication:
1t was an ancient custom i'll England
and other European countries to ring bell
at certain evening hour generally 3 O'Clock,
when all lights and fires We're extinguished.
This was called the curfew law"
In the past few decades this ancient law
has been revived and revised to the extent
and effect that, i'll many towns in our corIn
try the curfcw Is rang each evening at s
O'Clock, when, under penalty. no child I'M
der II is allowed to be on the street without
an older escort.
Do we need this law i'll Frostburg? We
believe we do. Following are Il few reasons:
FjrSt-Our officers tell us they meet
with more difficulty and less success III
keeping order among the boys than among
men. Our quiet, peace-loving people COM
plain of being annoyed and disturbed by
urchins at late hours. Good parents COM
plain of the difficulty of keeping their chill
dren at home at night.
Let us come to the relief of these good
people.
S,roHd-While we do not believe the social
conditions in FrOstburg are worse than the
usual but are rather far superior to the
average mining town, yet there are some
things which invariably Startle the new
conner, c. o., on certain nights of the week
one can see, not only men of various de-
ScriptionS on the streets almost any hour of
the night as in other towns, but also women
ladies and children of all descriptions.
Our streets are often thrOngcd with the most
respected ladies and children from our very
best homes until late hours. We doubt
whether our nee, cool young ladies are
conscious of the fact that walking the streets
with no purpose simply means to the aver
age man-"an advertisement for the matri-
monial market" 1t does everywhere.
We are told that this is only time
honorcd" custom. ''rimc-honored' does
not palliate discrcdit or crime. Custom
teaches children habits before they are able
to understand the harm in them.
Now, we believe the curfew law would
in part at least, remove these and other
evils 1t has done other towns good, why
not ours? 1t would not cost anybody Il
cent of money would he no sacrifice TO par
entS, nor even children if all were kept in ;
would certainly be relief to many good
people who love rest and quiet at night, and
raise the moral standard of the community.
If for no other reason we ought to have
"the curfew law to be brought down to
date" W. IL. LAIR.

Where Ignorance is Woe.

Some of the organs of monopoly are in
Il dire condition over the possible advent
free trade, escorted by the democratic
mule
Indeed, they are already filled to over
flowing with shame at the bare probable
ity of twin income SO disreputable.
Just why they feel scandalized so far
in advance of a natioral plunge into
economical turpitude is IL question they
do not discuss with Addisonian clearness.
They give vent, at these junctures only,
to their strongest political emotion, ac-
centuated by the deepest blush of humil-
ition prescribed by party etiquette.
The JOURNAL caught one of these rjr-
t"osos about seven years ago hiding his
face from the infamy which had come
upon his country when Grover Cleve-
land read "the Monroe doctrine" to
Great Britain in the Venezuelan "mr"fe.
He didn't understand that this was the
first time since 1923 that Great Britain
was made to take this country seriously,
but he did know that it was the business
of his party to feel dishonored, debased
and degraded by anything Cleveland did
and he was loyal, SUPERFICIAL to his party.
Hence, dear contemporaries, it must
be an awful experience to feel disgraced
without knowing what did it d!

Not Guilty..

We should like to ask Mr.. Morgan what
he proposes to do about the weather this
wintcr.-Cumberland Nc"S.
That question would overdo the topic
Mr.. Morgan is circumscribed by limits.
He and his class can discredit Cleveland
administrations by instigating Coxey
Marches make tariff reform odious by
depressing business under democratic
auspices and, as engineers of .the
money power" overrun prices and
crush wages, tariff or no tariff, and then
make il whole lot of gullible people think
that only under high tariff imperialism
do they consume more than they can eat
and wear, live in more houses than they
can occupy, and enjoy generally more
prosperity than they have use for.
Bat it is too much to charge Mr.. Nor
gan with ability to control the weather.
In his defence, therefore, the JOURNAL
respectfully but firmly enters IA formal
but decisive disclaimer

lIahOr's Real Wants.

From both observation and experience
the JOURNAL complies seven provisions
which, conferred upon the workingman
under the auspices of genuine democrat
ic or republican craftsmanship, would
make him and his country alike good
and great:
/, A moderate amount of work, not
too toilsome in character;-
,, Good wages, paid frequently
3, A system of insurance indemnlfylng
loss by sickness and providing something
for his family at his DEATH
I, A home of his own, conveniently
arranged, comfortably furnished and fit
ly adorned;-
), grounded CONFIDENCE i'll the sta
bility of his condition.
6, His children environed by good in
fuences made more attractive, If posi-
bic, than the besetments which tempt to
vice and crime, with no ''closed door
between them and accession to the lof-
tiest promotions, and
!, His whole life plain and pleasant
path, easier to find than to miss-to fol-
low than to quit so that his days may
be full of the inspiration of health, his
years luxuriant with the fruits of peace.
Suppose the twelve millions of dollars
expended by the people in electing and
paying Congressman for exploiting them
i 1 l. tl.;
ments were turned into the employment
of an unseltish statesmanship-onet that
would make the people really as well as
theoretically independent, what a happy
change of scene and condition would
follow,
But here we e-bickering over shares
in grabs; denying to labor living wages,
begrudging time to labor for rest and
recreation, and making the education of
labors children hardship to labor S
family; illustrating in hundred ways
the right of might which rules the
jungle, both at home and i'll alien terri
tories, and here and there splashing the
waters of Old Ocean i'll the Old Worlds
face in vulgar imitation of "world-
power cancan.
1t will cost the people of this county
about six thousand dollars for the poor,
very poor privilege of voting for a man
to go to Washington to attend to every
thing except the real home concerns of
the people.
Yet this is civilization, sacrilegiously

In about month the railroad mag

With enormous pay for carrying the
mails for the convenience of the people
and business interests, this purpose is
apparently never considered.
In view of the fact first stated, should
not the people of Georges Creek assert
their rights in the matter and have the

here according to postal intent?
If so, now is the time to act, and to
act altogether. Don't depend upon

Elaboration.

Council will meet Monday evening.
Remember, gentlemen, the Electric
Railroad company is not the smooth,
slick and 9rinning institution it was over
a year ago, but it has got into position to
show its real self in snarling, dog biting
fashion.
If it has come to IAN eye-for-eye,
tooth-for-tooth' contest over rights, re-
member the town is Oh its own ground
and you are the representatives of the
owners of that ground.
Don't give an inch, but exact the less
than mile that it takes to make that
road of real service to the most people.
Otherwise, drive it to the corporate
limits until it learns that benefits, to be
just, must be mutual.
In this let al the people stand by the
Mayor and Council.

For general information we state that there
is no tariff on anthracite coal, and none on
meats of sufficient consequence to prevent
their importation. In the discussion of the

the relation of the tariff thereto it is just as

So far as the RpcOrd's statement con-
Germs anthracite coal it is wrong.
A duty of 81 cents ton is levied on

of fixed carbon.
The best so-called "Welsh anthracite"
falls in carbon quality below that figure
and is, therefore, subject to a duty which
protects domestic anthracite from

Perhaps that car got away from the

The point is dangerous one that can
be obviated if our Town Council has
enough backbone to stunt by tie p"OpIc
