Some Party Philosophy.

As we have SAID, if there are more Repub-
licans than Democrats in the country,
Roosevelt will in.-Lonaconing STIR of
Lonaconlng.
Not inevitably. Tilden received over
100000 more votes than Hayes, but he
did not win
On the face of the returns he had a
majority also of the electoral vote, but
the commissioners reduced it to minor
ity by finding themselves able to Ego
behind the returns" in Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina, but unable
to do so i'll Oregon.
Men who change their votes without
reason are not Republicans, and there is no
excuse for Republican to stultify himself
in this election.-Ud.
Honestly, is man "who changes his
vote W ithout reason qualified to vote
at all?
White or black, ought he not to be
dSfranchiSed?

Col. Whoop Koffcutter, of Bullygany,
wants to know whether 1913 ri al. cents
is correct" Hardly.
Litigation expenses come high-sO
high that Council ought to deliberate
long before mourning them.
Council referred ''the danger of
slaughter houses so near the sources of
the towns water supply to the State
Board of Health for investigation" or
words to that effect. The same Board
of Health holds that hog pens i'll towns
are danger nearer to the danger point
than slaughter-hOuses. There IL little
chance for filter of slaughter-house
poison from water coming several miles,
but none for the miasm breathed by the
people, awake or sleeping, from
sources" near their doors.
Mayor Townsend wants to warn 1.-The
public" of the danger of getting on cars
above Grant street chute. This warn
ing is based, not upon theoretical,
philosophical, or even practical grounds,
but upon HISTORICAL.
Mr.. Pink Whiskers of Pocahontas
writes that "Titus A. Brick is i'll a
quandary. Somebody with IA yenj"s for
pcr capita arithmetic figured ont for
him that in 1865 he owed the United
States bondholders $16.9S, next succeed
ing years 81 or - less each year until
1893, when it rose from $l2.64 to $3.50
in 1894 Then it fell and rose, and rose
and fell each year until 1908 when it
was $ll.5l-a total fall of $65.47 in 80
years, or an average of $l6.7S each year
What bothers lite is-he doesn't
remember ever having paid cent of it. y
The Pittsburg Times correspondent ut
Mt. Savage estimates the population OF
that town at 1900 and the altitude at
1920 feet-a foot for each inhabitant
But it is Just as much as Frostburg can
possibly do to clam an altitude of 2,20C
feet for 5000 people.

New Electric Road Coming.

A Pittsburg press dispatch of July
81 conveys the following important
intelligence:
Contracts aggregating more than $500, 600
have Just been let by ffttsburgers for the
construction of an electric railroad from
Garrett, Pa, to Frostburg, Md, y miles.
The company, which is Incorporated as
the Meyersdale and Salisbury Railroad, pro-
poses to furnish light and power to dozen
Pennsylvania towns and eventually to oper-
ate a passenger line from JohnstOwn, Pa,
to Cumberland, Md. The central power
plant will be at BoyntOn, work on which
will he started soon. Part of the system
will be in operation by next spring.
This is important if true. and
If true, another IF" follows, namely
If the town of Frostburg has any
spunk in or out of Council, there will be
not the change of an inch from the pres
ent stains until the Belt Line is .f"ilg
and s"rcly provided for.

"wednesday the Homecoming team put
another game to their credit by defeat
ing Our Own" i'll IA very close and eX-
citing contest, the score being to l i'll
their favor.
Brown was OH the sick list, Flanagan
was incapacitated, and Will Spatcs' arm
was not in the best of form. So Frank
Spates took up the Irishmen burden
and pitched game that was creditable
to him. He hadn't tried to pitch for
more than year, though it is admitted,
even by the visitors, that had the team
been behind him he would have won.
GAS it was, only two men We're playing
i'll their positions Stakem and Taylor.
But they gave pretty nice exhibition,
kept lots of ginger in the fight. and
never gave up till the last man was out.
Fay, the Georgetown University
pitcher, twirling for the visitors, was
in great form.
"Mudd caught him i'll the very best
of style and the men behind Fay gave
him perfect support.
George Richardson umpired, and his
was very unpleasant task. He was
equal to the occasion, however, and sent
the visitors home satisfied that he is
honest and impartial.

II Fairmont was "bOozed' at Cum
berland, what was the matter with
Cumberland at Fairmont? Behind this
question lies an important hint to Frost
burg while away from home. no not
| yieId To temptation, no matter how cor
daily insistent.
Tom Taggart emphatically denies that he
has any interest in the gambling house at
| French Lick Springs. Ii is asserted that
even in politics he plays no games of chance,
but confines himself to Washing
ton Post.
In Cumberland baseball, ginger-snap
to dough-nut, he would bet "Only on a
Shining game with Frostburg."
WHEN FRosTBURG SHOULD NOT PLAY.
Well. Cumberland is not the only top
notch team which has lost game or So
| Cumberland Neps.
Not much consolation i'll that, and
none IN the fact that games lost by play
ing fatally weakened team against
competitors of full strength. This is
suicide so far as ''top-notch" leadership
is a deSiderdtHm.
1t ought to be remembered, however,
that Frostburg's team is essentially a
home team. Save the leading pitcher,
all are natives of town and vicinity. and
still working in OF ont of the mines.
They are men whose employment now
and then keeps them off the diamond.
Hence, the management is censurable
when it Mr0Ts IpdderShip array by at
tempting to play with half, or less than
half its force. Such games are AS sure
~ lost before they are begun as are those
begun for premature finish"
