DEMOCRATIC DISGUST WITH BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan seemingly learns moth
ing. Certainly, he comedies nothing.
If the next National Democratic Con
vention adopts policy which adds
strength and hope to the party, Mr..
Bryan must recede from his present
position if he indorses it. He gives
not the slightest Indication that he
will indorse the party's course unless
it follows his dictation absolutely. 1t
is certain that the party will not do
this. Mr.. Bryan intends to be a dis
tinguishing factor in the next nation
al convention. He intends that the
party shall go into battle on lines laid
down by him, or else weakened by all
the opposition he can muster. Not
in all the history of American politics
has there been character protesting
more of the virtues of grace and hui
mility and yet display more of the
spirit of demagogy on one hand and
of complacent, unblushing dictator
ship on the other, than we have illus
trated in the person of Mr.. Bryan.
The leaders, even those who shouted
his praises, are heartily tired of him.
They are anxious to be rid of him;
they swear at him under their breath,
but they have not the courage to
speak as men who are not afraid of
their shadows. They are simply wait
ing for others to speak first, and for
the time which they know is coming
when Mr.. Bryan will be entirely dis
credited as a leader. In the mean
time Mr.. Bryan is a very busy man.
He sees his influence slipping away
from him, but he does not propose to
lose it entirely without a desperate
effort. He will be found making hay
even at set of sun.

TO BUILD A NEW HOTEL.

Purpose of Mr.. A. Knabb, Near swallow
Falls.
An Oakland contributor to the
Cumberland Times of yesterday after
noon, say the following concerning a
real estate deal recently consum-
mated:
1t was stated last week that Messrs
A. knabb & Co., had sold their mill
ing plant at Krug this county, to a
company of Pennsylvania capitalists.
The sale was consummated at Pitts
burg by Gilmor S. Hamill as counsel
and Others of the A. Knabb Co. to
Messrs. J. g. and S. A. Kendall, who
will have strong company and make
many improvements to the property.
The distance estimated from the
present terminus at Swallow Falls to
the line of the Baltimore g. Ohio at
Oakland would be but about six
miles and the route has already been
laid out for this connection.
In the transfer of the property Mr..
A. Knabb has reserved one hundred
acres containing the beautiful and
majestic Swallow Falls, one of the
most picturesque spots in this section
and it is said to be his determination
to build massive summer hotel and
numerous cottages near this spot and
build up popular resort for the en-
tertainment of summer guests. This
would give Garrett county another
resort that in years would rival any
that has ever been established within
its boundaries. The new purchasers
will take charge June list, and con-
tinue the the business as at present
conducted. The company has been
incorporated for $4,000, and .called
the Yough Manor Lumber Company,
and the railroad has been incorporat-
ed for $4,000, and called the ~ ough
Manor Railroad Company.

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
If you have not tried it, send for free sample,
its agreeable taste will surprise you.

An Occasional Contributor Writes ON
Variety of Subjects.
Perhaps a word from this section of
the county may not be uninteresting
to some of your many readers.
With the opening of spring, the
closing of the sugar season, the com
mencement OF coal shipments, the ex-
change of town lots, the sale of timber
lands, the optioning of coal lands. in
quiries for fire clay, the demand for
lime and fertilizers, the general ac-
tivity of real estate and the revival of
business indicate brighter and better
days for the Casselman Valley.
The condition of the old National
Road is deplorable. West OF Grants
vile it has become almost impossible
with loaded vehicle. The bridges
crumbling to decay, the culverts filed
and falling, the road bed washed out,
grass growing and cattle pasturing
upon this famous highway-neglect
and the Western Union Telegraph
line has about destroyed one of the
worlds great thoroughfares. The
pittance spent upon it by the county
is wellnigh wasted. An effort should
be made to repair the most import
ant road i'll the county. A trolly line

to be hoped this may soon be built
and rescue from utter ruin this great
road constructed for the people at
public expense by those stalwart
statesmen, the immortal Clay and
| Jackson.
The extension and improvement of
the telephone system through the
northern and eastern sections of the
county would be great benefit and
convenience to the public, and would
certainly be profitable investment.
1t would bring that remote region in
to more direct communication with
the county seat. The Importance of
this to every taxpayer can scarcely
be estimated, indeed, the non-pro-
gressive spirit of that region can
largely be attributed to isolation and
can only be remedied by closer con-
nection with our county seat. If we
desire to have any voice in county
affairs we must join the procession of
modern progress and keep step to the
music of enlightenment and improve
ment.
Through the press we learn Garrett
county is about to be honored by the
selection of one of her citizens for an
important Federal Office. This meets
with general appreciation, and is a
graceful recognition of CARROTS claim
that we have not in the past received
all that we deserved. This appoint
ment will do much to strengthen the
party and increase the Republican
majority in Garrett county.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the
Civil War. 1861-IS65.
1t was the first and most desirable
point of vantage coveted by both the
the Federal and Confederate armies.
In May, 1851, the four Federal advance
columns concentrated at Parkers-
burg, w. Va, Wheeling, w. Va,
Harper's Ferry, w. Va, and at Wash
ington. To retain the advantage.
the Federal government established
block houses along the railroad from
the Monacacy to the Ohio river, be-
sides forts at Winchester, Harper's
Ferry, Cumberland, Piedmont and
New Creek (Keyser). The B. & O.
was the base of operations for the
Federal army for nearly four years
and from which the government could
not take advance line earlier than
November, 1864 The b. & 0. was
the means of communication between
the West and the Army of the Poto-
mac, and was consequently in CON
tinual state of siege. Harper's Ferry,
the key of the Shenandoah Valley,
first famed through the fanatical at
tempt of John Brown, in defying the
laws and customs of his country, was
captured or recaptured eight times
in three years. The Government Ar
senal and armories which were locat.
ed there, were destroyed by the gov
eminent to prevent their capture.
One hundred and seyenty-nine bat
ties of greater or less Importance were
fought on or adjacent to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, not taking into
consideration the innumerable skir-
misbes.
