Merchants Want a Paper.

Merchants Of Menominee, Mich, may ell
bark in the newspaper business. The es-
Enlistment of paper chiefly for advertising
purposes is favored. The objection to patron
izng existing papers is based on the fact that
the local papers accept advertisements from
Marinette merchants just across the river
American Press.
That objection will hold good in this
region sooner or later.
The JOURNAL has heard of space prices
accorded to Cumberland merchants that
no paper can.possibly work for and live.
Yet, in some cases. opportunity to do
this work has been sought by the papers
themselves-a treble wrong, first, to
their home customers; second, to their
news brethren; third, to themselves.

The Baltimore Engraving company
sent the JOURNAL "A letter-opener, SO neat
and pretty that the treasury department
of this great paper finds it Just the
thing" to open letters with, especially
those which contain checks, money or
ders and other substantial evidences of
business favor. An inscription upon the
handle conveniently tells where to send
the pictures of people who ought to have
themselves half-toned.
The Baltimore SIM Almanac for the

While the true Maryland democrat thus
regards Mr.. Germans return to the Senate,
all over the South as well as at the North,
the American citizen will congratulate the
country upon the further distinguished ser
vices of the only Senator who showed such
wonderful resources in debate and such tact
full management of men as gave, not the
democratic party alone, but the whole coun-
try victory in killing outright the odious
Force Bill.-Cumberland Times.
"Tactful management of menu
1t is quite certain Henry NJ. Teller and
several other silver-State Senators would
not acknowledge that they had been
managed"
The Force Bill was defeated by deal
made with enough silver republican
Senators to complete it, but the demo-
cratic party IN Mr .frId has never carried
out the end of the contract made for it,.
Indeed, Mr.. German himself, opposed
to Cleveland on the Eugene Higgins
business, has been in accord with that
great man on the money question and
against Bryan, the latter twice the fusion
candidate of the very men who defeated
the Force Bill.
But be that as it may, it is notable that
Mr.. Germans name is not associated
with any great constructive measure.
His title to fame-his only title, is
narrowed down to a single item of dc
Strnctir' craftsmanship, in which he had
as indispensable allies the flexible rules
of the most liberal parliamentary body
in the world.

Fun from an Unexpected Quarter.

Fun from an Unexpected quarter.
Until last Monday morning nobody
suspected there had ever been two col
umns of facetiae in Mt. Savage.
1t was never before supposed there was
anything there in the way of fun but the
towns reputation for original rail-mak-
ing, sing-low farming and fireclay.
But Monday morning mt. Savage
Citizens" butted into public notice, top
and bottom o'column, and bet"ePn read
ing mltter.
In tones of irony-not iron, they called
for pre-angelic wings for everything
vehicular, except coal cars, to watt them
DER the GIBBS of German Crick and the
tides of Jennings Run.
The JOURNAL unaffectedly sympa-
thizes with their bridgeless woes. not
withstanding the sentiment so indus
triously promoted in Cumberland that
"too much money is spent on roads, y
especially by governor" whom the peo-
pie had no business to nominate and elect.
But the bridges should be built; in
deed, they should have been built be-
fore the conventions last fall, so Cum
berland could have underscOred more
distinctly the finger with which she
pointed with alarm" to the destruction
which, falling Immediately upon Mt
Savage, would have been ultimately dis
tributed pro rata over the whole county,
especially to Georges Creek.
The JOURNAL does not know the par
ticular reason or reasons why the com
missioners have not "fiown," even ON
borrowed wings, to Mt. Savage relief,
but it feels satisfied that had they done
so the complaint would have found voice
in some other direction OH some other
account.
1t is more than likely, therefore. that
the laugh which has been convulsing
Cumberland "at the expense of the COM
missioners" Is not sincere expression of
frolicsome relaxation, except on the part
of faction which cares as much for Mt.
Savage roads as for the parallax of Sirius.
The commissioners, however, should
arrange to rebuild the bridges, and
quickly-this, however, without encour-
aging or abridging Mt. Savage's witty
word play.

4 Vital Matter.

JOURNAL readers of Council proceed
ings last week were not much cheered
by the warning given by the Water SUI
perintendent that unless something is
done in the way of repairing the present
reservoir or building a new one, the
people will wake up some fine morning
to find themselves without water
The JOURNAL will use this opportunity
to say that it has never believed that the
old reservoir is beyond repair.
And it believes now that if Council
will find man who understands the
business of pudding and cementing and
is honest enough to do the work right,
the old reservoir can be made perpetual
ly leak-proof and at a cost considerably
below the cost of new means of storage.
The right man, bonded to do the work
right, will also know how to protect the
reservoir from surface drainage and re-
move that objection to it.
But whatever is done should be done
quickly.

stood II to , in favor of the home
team.

Cliff was present to witness the de
feat of their team.
