the Midland Press affects to think the
third game of the Homecoming Frost
burg series "was Il sad come-down to
Frostburgs ambition" 1t seems, how
ever, that as Midland won the game for
Homecoming, Midland defeated Midland
i'll licking Frostburg. Homecoming
wasn't in it and Midland committed
suicide. Frostburg only survives. In
shallah Hey?
COMING EVENTS.
To-day Saturday at Homecoming
Frostburg will play the fourth of the
series'o five games for 800.
The score stands now-Lonaconing 2,
Frostburg l. Frostburg will, therefore,
play for a tie.
Wolfe, one of the teams old favorites,
will pitch for Frostburg This implies
there will be no foolishness radiating
from the slab.
Hence, if Homecoming is anywhere
near up to par the game will not be
lacking i'll both skill, daring, and
sensation.
From the Frostburg authorities the
JOURNAL learns that on Thursday next
10Th inst, the fifth and final game will
take place at the Driving Park here.
Whether this game will be played with.
out reference to the result to-day the
JOURNAL could not learn, but at any
rate a special effort is making to get all
the ladies to attend, as all should.

Welsh Coal May Escape Duty.

The Baltimore News of Tuesday says
Collector William F. Stone to-day received
copy of circular letter which was sent out
by Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw
Yesterday to the collectors of all the principal
ports in the country, urging them to give
every facility for the prompt delivery of inn
ports of coal.
Under the present tariff law all coal con-
tanning over % per rent. of fixed carbon is
admitted free of duty. For the present, the
instructions are to yeS0I,e al rtdsondbie ADMITS
IN .foror ot he importer. This ruling will
probably favOrably affect the Baltimore
purchasers of Welsh coal, which is said to
anayze very closely to % per- rent. of fixed
carbon and may escape the duty, which is "a
cents a ton.
The clause italicized by the JOURNAL
is good.
1t means that under the current high
tariff stress anthracite labor is to be
protected" by resort to ruinous free
trade.
The statement is paradox, but what
else can tariff law be that is elastic
enough to permit its executive chemists
to resolve it under % per cent. to-day
and over that figure to morrow?

The Business Mems Committee" of
Frostburg had things i'll much better
shape two years ago than the President
has the anthracite trouble at this
writing. 1t can be stated, moreover,
that had John Mitchell been here in
stead of William Warner, there would
have been no strike. Mitchell seems to
he man that committees can deal with !;
Warner is not.
Henry Fisher, bailiff, is one of the
best officers the town has had. He
either maintains good order, or he COM
pels bad order to pay his salary. Last
month his collections on account of
fines, etc, ran 81. 10 over his pay
Last friday evening was booked for
return call on Chosen Friends Lodge
of Cumberland Odd Fellows by the Odd
Fellows of Odd Name Yclept Frost

occasion.
Doesn't it look little One-sided for the
Post-office department to forbid "per-
nicious activity" among incumbents of
its offices when only the outs can COM
pete with each other to see who can get
the most voters registered: To be fair,
the order should reach the outs as
well as "ins."

Business Movements,

d. f. McMullen & Co.'S "Iron Front"
interior was a scene of light and beauty
Thursday evening. An immense crowd
viewed a bewildering display of cur
tainings, laces, ribbons of all colors, rolls
of bright figured carpets, quilts, blankets,
ladies' wear, stacks of goods, novelties,
the whole set off with potted plants,
flowers, autumn leaves, ferns, laurel
pendants, fourteen base-and-column
tigures-all lavishly illuminated by gas
and electricity. 1t was their autumn
opening, the display an outcome of much
tasteful work, and the result as popular
attraction all the firm could desire.
Messrs. Hugh and John McMullen, of the
Cumberland store, assisted the local
brother, Daniel F., in entertaining the
visitors.
Hetrick & Co. have established a
Photographic gallery i'll Eckhart.

1t is said somewhat i'll extenuation of
trusts that they exist in Europe.
The trust" being indigenous to the
soil of monarchy, it would be strange if
it did not flourish there.
But the trust principle is alien to
popular government, so much so that II
has not and can have no rightful place
in the vocabulary, much less in the
constitution of a system founded on the
illustrious predicate, allmena are created
free and equal
When two or more men, with the
countenance and aid of a government
meant to be popular in form, combine i'll
schemes of extortion from their fellow
citizens, there is high authority for
stating that both the purpose and work
of the combine are none the less rob-
berry because done under the forms of
law
This may not be the fact under the
rrgime of kings who rule and tax by
divine right" but under a government
wherein all are sovereigns no lawful
privileges or pre-eminencies can be ac-
corded to those who have social, political
or economical talents for elite roguery.

Healthy Incidents.

Editor f. W. Rose, of the Piedmont
Hcroid, bucked up in court against the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad company
risky thing to do these days of soulless
imperialism, and, strange to say, has
won. The company wanted to build a
switch-tower where Rose didn't want it {;
hence, the suit.
Had the whole town of Piedmont been
in Roses place there would have been
no resistance to the company's encroach-
ment, which shows that the mass is
generally more cowardly than the in.
dividual.
In Frostburg several individuals are
going TO test the towns right to assess
abutting property-Owners for a part of
street.paving cost, and the town as a
town is going to mass its power against
the individuals.
What the town us a town will do to
compel the Electric railway company to
do all of its duty remains to be seen. So
far it has done well.
In Cumberland one day last week a
telephone company attached guy wire
to a tree wherein w. J. Feaga held some
family pride. Mr.. F's mother vainly
protested against the misuse of the tree.
When, however, Mr.. f. came home he
promptly removed the wire. Then came
the telephone people to replace it, but
Mr.. Feaga was sitting under the tree
with Winchester rifle across his knees,
the latter prepared, if necessary, to re-
cite for Mr.. F. paraphrase of the old
poem
Woodman, spare that tree;
Touch not single bough;
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now.
These incidents are mentioned be-
cause they show a healthy recoil from
the popular submission to the corporate
aggression that constitutes one phase of
what is called prosperity"
