EDITORIAL NOTES.
THE THREATENED COKE STRIKE.
* Delegates of the local order of the
Knights of Labor, claiming to represent
the more than thirteen thousand coke-workers
in the Conncllsville region, have
met in Scottdale, have demanded an ad-vance
in wages through a scale offered,
have been refused a conference by the
coke operators and have done the only
thing left for.them to do: ordered a gen-eral
strike.
To say the least, this action has been
hasty and ill-advised. With coke at $1
a ton It Is hardly reasonable to suppose
that any operator could afford to pay the
demand; nor do we believe any will do
so, should the men strike for it as their
leaders seem to feel Bure they will. But
in this belief we do not share.
As a mere matter of policy there should
be no strike of coke-workers so long as
they themselves are divided, and that
they are we have the statement of a
Knight who fears that the Progressive
Union—the Knights’ old rival organiza-tion
with its name changed—is»stil I pow-erful
enough to keep several of the
largest works In operation despite the
efforts of the Knights to prevent.
Then, too, public opinion does much
to win or lose anything for whichever
side it is cast. It virtually won thecoke
workers their strike of 1880, as it lost
them their struggle when they struck
against Umpire Jackson’s decision in the
famous arbitration of a year later. We
fear it would now be against them should
they strike on August 1.
We also feartlie result of the Scottdale
convention is the work of the agitator
and that it does not give a truthlul ex-pression
of tlie feelings of the coke
workers at large. If this he. so, and
to it is added the antagonism ot the
Progressive Union, it is hardly likely
that a general strike can result, or if it
does it must soon come to an inglorious
end. As the well-wisher of eyery honest,
hard-working coke employe, THE JOUR-NAL
says:
Don’t strike.

ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE.
THE BODY OF WALLACE WHEELER
FOUND IN THE ALLEGHENY RIVER.
ONE of tlie delegates to the late Scott-dale
conventions of coke workers’ repre-sentatives
says the men were never better
prepared to stand a lockout than at pres-ent.
That is not the best kind of an
argument to use when talking strike.
WE pay our President $r>0,0()0 a year;
while it costs the English government
about $3,500,000 annually to keep Queen
Victoria and her ever-increasing family.
Royalty comes high, but our English
cousins must haye it, you know.
IT was generally supposed Johnstown
people had lost all they cared to; but
that is a mistake. Mrs. Little, one of the
sufferers, lias sued the South Fork Fish-ing
Club for $50,000 on account of the
death of her husband.

Here, Where the Mystery Surround*
lug Ills Dentil Is Cleared Up.
Tli? body of Wallace Wheeler, a Ta-rentum
barber, was found in the Alle-gheny
river at Ross’s Grove on Saturday.
A number of letters signed “Carrie”
were found on his person addressed to
him, the tenorof which served to throw
some mystery around tlie case, giving
the idea that foul play or suicide caused
tlie death. On Sunday, however, two
of Wheeler’s nephews, William and John
Hansberry, called at the Pittsburg
morgue, fully identified the body, and
said that death iiad most probably oc-curred
through Wheeler taking a skiff
ride or going in bathing while intoxica-ted.
lie had been drinking considera-bly
lately, owing to reverses in business,
his shop and fixtures having been seized
by the sheriff.
The first of the letters signed “Carrie”
was sent from Mt. Pleasant under date
of June 11 and read as follows:
Well. Wnllanee, I am hi Mt. Pleasant. I
arrived here at 6 o’clock last evening. * * *
Pap did not know me. He looked at me. I
knew him. * * * I think one week will be
long enough for me to stay here. There are a
lot of hard eases here. I gave pap what
money I had left. He said: ‘My child, that Is
more than George or Budd done when they
came home. They did not give mo a cent/’
and then he cried.
Tlie other, date June 14, also written
from Mt. Plessant, is as follows:
I received yours yesterday and was glad to
hear from home. 1 call that my home be-cause
I would not live here. They are the
toughest niggers I over saw. They say I am
the proudest woman here. I would not do as
these coons are doing for tlie world. 1 cannot
tell you here, hut when I come home I will
tell you, and that, won’t he long. * * * Pap
wants me to stay two months, hut I would
not do so tor $100. Polly is here, Just as crazy
us ever. * * * Hally’s husband is in the
Greensburgjall. * * * It you send me mon-ey
I will come home, or von can come up.
Tell Prince I have not forgotten him. When
1 speak of him they think there Is some little
hoy there, hut I tell them it Is my little dog.
I miss him very much. Kiss him for me.and
tell him to he good until I come home, and
he shall not be tied so much,
Tlie other letter was the strangest of
tlie three, and gave tlie impression that
some plot had been laid. Half of the
letter was missing, and tlie other half
was so badly soiled from being in the
water that it could scarcely be read. The
part decipherable read:
I want to meet you to-nlghl about 10
o’clock. But if you don’t meet me, Carrie
knows where yon are. It is a great secret,
and if anybody knows of Mils meeting we ere
done for. My lile depends on our meeting to-night.
I have heard ttiat you have been idl-ing
about our meeting. If you tell this, I will
kill myself. Destroy this right away, so Car-rie
does not llnd It, for then I nm lost. It. Is
about Clendennen, if yon understand it. He
has been talking ngaiu.
The “Carrie” referred to above is
Carrie Strawder, ’Slaughter of Emmet
Strawder, a colored resident of Dice’s
Extension, where a JOURNAL representa-tive
interviewed her Sunday evening.
Her story in substance was :
“Wallace Wheeler married my sister
some twelve years ago and soon aftershe
died in 1884 I went to Tarentmn and
have since kept house for him. I came
home to Mt. Pleasant two weeks ago.
leaving him at tiiat time in Pittsburg. I
wrote two of tlie letters found on tlie
body and published in this morning’s
Pittsburg papers. The letter sigued ‘H’
was written by a young Swede girl of
Tarentmn, named Hilda Paulson, during
last May, I think, as it was about that
time I got it out of Wallace's pocket and
rend it. I wanted to stop tlie growing
intimacy between her and Wallace. In
her letter Hilda speaks of a man named
Clendenen. He is a married man with
a family in Tarentmn. There might haye
been bad blood between him and Wal-lace.
I do not think there was any foul
play connected withWallace’s death. lie
may have been drunk and committed
suicide or was accidentally drowned
while boat riding.”
HOME HAPPENINGS.
IMPORTANT COKE DECISON.
THE proposed new gns company will
come to Mt. Pleasant, it is said, if rea-sonable
inducements are held out to it.
Its coming could hurt no one here, not
even tlie holders of Southwest preferred
stock. ■
WITH a competing natural gas com-pany,
Mt. Pleasant consumers who are
satisfied with the Southwest’s rates can
stick to them, assured that they will not
be raised any on October first.
THE writer of two of the letters, found
on the body of the drowned Tarentum
barber, has a poor opinion of our colored
people here. That makes llttledifference
as the feeling is mutual.
WE are glad to notice Johnny Byrne’s
safe return to the newspaper fold as the
editor of the Scottdale Tribune Press.
COAL AND COKE.
Various Items Gathered from the Sur-rounding
Works.
A majority of the mines on the B. & O.

A Limited Partnership Contract Requires
Two Signatures to He Legal.
Judge Acheson,of Pittsburg,on Thurs-day
last, filed ail opinion in the case of
Andrews Bros. Company vs. tlie Youngs-town
Coke Company, limited. The
judge dismisses the bill filed by the
plaintiff’s which asked for tlie enforce-ment
of a contract made with them by
the defendants.
The judge in his decision supports the
demurrer filed by the defendants which
held that, under the limited copartner-ship
law, it took the signatures of two
managers to make the contract valid,
while the contract drawn up between
the parties to the-suit was signed by but
one. The contract was made by the
plaintiff for coke which was to be fur
nished from time to time by tlie defend-ants
at the price ruling the market at
the time delivered. A failure was made
on the part of the defendants and the
plaintiffs sought to recover damages by
their suit.

According to the resolutions, adopted
by the Knigtits of Labor of Sub-Division
No. 4 in their convention held in Scott-dale
on July 20, and which were pub-lished
in Inst week’s JOUUNAL, tlie coke
operators were given tlie alternative of
conferring on tlie wage scale demanded
or having their employes strike. The
date set by tlie delegates for the confer-ence
was Saturday last and the place se-lected
for I lie meeting was Scottdale.
But when that day came It did not bring
any operators. Tlie delegates, however,
were there and what they did is thus
told in a Scottdale dispatch :
Master Workman Kerfoot, of Sub-
Division 4, Knights of Labor, was chosen
as Chairman, and Cioyd M. Parker, of
the Hame organization, Secretary. J. M.
Dayton, F. F. Montgomery and John
Speight were appointed a committee on
resolutions, and reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted:
Tlie Strike Set for Aug. 1st.
WHEREAS, After repeated efforts to
obtain n conference with the operators
they still continue to ignore our commit-tees,
and refuse to consider any propo-sition
in tlie interest of harmony; and
WHEREAS, Tlie condition of the woik
ers in tlie Connellsville coke region is
such as to demand the greatest urgency
in obtaining redress; therefore be it
Resolved, That tlie decision of tlie
former convention he approved and
work cease throughout the region on
the first day of August, 1889, and that
no work tie done until our demands be
granted.
Resolved, Tiiat committees be ap-pointed
to visit tlie various works and
explain to the men tlie condition of
affairs, and urge tlie workmen to unite
in order to obtain their demands.
Resolved, Tiiat the sympathy and co-operation
of all competing regions, and
tlie officers of organizations and the
craft at large, he solicited in this strug-gle
for existence.
Resolved, That a committee of seven
be appointed to carry out tlie above and
to take charge of tlie region and district,
and have complete control of all action
during tlie impending strike.
Resolved, That the above be imme-diately
printed and circulated through-out
the region.
Some Opinions That Differ.
Master Workman Kerfoot, alter the
convention had adjourned, said: “We
have time after time sent communica-tions
to the operators of this region to
meet us and agree on a wage scale, but
they totally ignored us and we are de
termined to tight it out on this line. I
am opposed to strikes and have on every
occasion done everything in my power
to keep them down, but if nothing else
will satisfy the operators we will strike.”
He also stated tiiat the Hungarians
and other non-English-speaking work-ingmen
have reported tiiat they will
stand by the action of tlie convention.
Tlie men are determined to stand out
for tlie scale proposed by them and ap-proved
by the convention of April 13.
Master Workman John B. Rae, of Na-tional
Trades Assembly 135, K. of L.,
was present at the meeting and expressed
hiinself as highly satisfied with the de-cision
of the convention. The fact that
the men at Valley Works, who struck
on Tliureday, had returned to work did
not seem to discourage the delegates,
and they feel positive that they will all
be out on August 1.
Thomas L. Lynch, General Superin-tendent
of the Frick Coke Company,
states that the six men who were dis-charged
at tlie Valley Works would not
be reinstated. Mr. Lynch, howeyer,
would not venture an expression as to
what his company would do in case the
men at their works would come out on
strike.
Master Workman Rae addressed a
large meeting of the men of the Valley
Works at Everson Saturday night. He
characterized the late scale of the Frick
company as a trap for the men and one
of the most severe iron-dads he had
ever seen. He stated that the present
strike was not a question of organization,
but one of bread and butter to the men,
and advised them not to allow any ques-tion
to come up tiiat would in any way
prejudice their interests. Addresses
were also made by Peter Wise, James
Keegan and others.
One of the leading members of the
Knights of Labor stated that the only
obstacle in the way of a successful strike
was the seeming indifference on the part
of the old members of the National Pro-gressive
Union and that if their co-oper-ation
could not be secured several of the
largest works in the region could be
kept running in spite of the Knights.

I heard so much about tills place and
the doings of my friends who come here
to rest that it was an easy task to per-suade
myself that my system was pining

SUIT NUMBER ONE
ENTERED AGAINST THE SOUTH FORK
FISHING CLUB.
I noticed early in tlie week that .the
resorters were exercised about something,
but I was not let into tlie secret for sev-eral
days. At last I was informed of
the chief topic of conversation. Brother
Southerland was coming down from
Somerset and there was to be preaching
Sunday. To a regular church-goer like
myself this announcement was not sur-prising.
Still it’s different with people,
many of whom have had no sanctuary
droppings for three or four months.
My eyes! what a time the unmarried
portion of the females had preparing for
the event. Best gowns had to have every
crease carefully pressed out and bangs
were kept In papers for the three pre-ceding
days. And tlie men, too, spruced
up a bit.
There was considerable discussion
about the hour tlie services should begin.
Some tavored 10:30; but tlie majority
said 11 o’clock or a little later, all de-pending
on the arrival of the morning
train bringing the Pittsburg papers. The
latter carried the day.

I was on hands at the prettily decora
ted chapel early—I had Hired a hoy to
get my papers—and soon the congrega-tion
had gathered, as handsome an array
of sinners as one could wish to see. It
has always been my proud boast that my
church decorum was above suspicion;
but when I saw the fat miller tile in as
the rear guard ot the Maple Grove dele-gation,
with that most sanctimonious
air that so becomes him, I fenced I was
going to make a break.
No old-time deacon could have looked
half so solemn. Every feature enioyed
perfect repose, except the eyes that were
riveted on tlie preacher and only once

A tired fly settled down on his nose and
even then Ol. took but one eye off the
pulpit and threw it down at the winged
insect, which at once, as though heartily
ashamed of itself, flew out through the
open window.
I was so lost in admiration of Percy’s
demeanor that I failed to catch the text
as well as a goodly portion of Shepherd
Southerland’s excellent discourse,
might have missed it all had not “Prince,”

Rnmngr* til Ihr Slim of $50,000 Demand-ed
for a Husband's Death, But the
Defendants Are Not Exercised.
Tlie first suit against tlie South Fork
Fishing and Hunting Club, for damages
sustained during the Johnstown flood,
was filed on Saturday in the Pittsburg
courts. It is considered as a test suit.
he plaintiffs are NancyW. Little,widow
of John A. Little, who met his death in
the Hurlburt House, in Johnstown, at
the time of the flood, and his eight chil-dren.
The plaintiffs’ statement, briefly
told, relates that the club purchased cer-tain
land tli rough which South Fork
creek flowed and tiiat they dammed up
the stream in an unnecessary and dan
gerous manner in order to propagate fish
and establish a pleasure resort. The dam
bursting, the flood devastated Johnstown
and caused the death of John A. Little,
who was in the Hurlburt House. Dam-ages
in the sum of $50,000 are therefore
asked. The plaintiffs’ attorney in the
case is Lewis Mullen.
The defendants are James W. Brown,
. W. 0. Bidwell, E. J. Allen, John
Caldwell, Jr., Andrew Carnegie, John
W. Clialfant, James A. Chambers,Charles

the South Fork Club.
The members of the club are not sur-prised
at this suit; in fact, it is what
they expected. When one of them was
asked if they would try to settle so as to
avoid a precedent being established lie
said: “No, sir; the club will not com-promise.
If it is right, all well and good;
fit is wrong, then you know what tiiat
means. Speaking of responsibility, if
one is to be held accountable, all are.
No,our management is not to be blamed.”

BASE BALL SCRAPS.
Tile GrecnslmrgK as Well asOnr Favorites
Are Doing Some Winning.
The Scottdale club on its return trip
played three games with Allegheny
county teams last week. Our favorites
were weakened by Pitcher Milbee’s lame
shoulder.
Manafee had to pitch against Home-stead
Monday nnd Braddock Tuesday,
winning the first game 9 to 7 and losing
tlie second 7 to 1. Milbee went in Wed-nesday
to face the Keystones but had to
retire after the first inning. Third Base
man Leamon surprised even his friends
by stepping into the box and puzzling
the colored contestants for the balance
of the game. The Scottdales won 13 to 3
and returned home the next day. They
had no trouble to defeat the Duquesnes
both Thursday and Friday. Manafee
pitched the first day when the score was
28 to 7, and Leamon the second 14 to 8.
The Latrobes were scheduled to play a
championship game at Scottdale on Sat
urday, but they failed to do so. The
Uniontown nine then came over and an
exhibition game was played, which
Scottdale, with Manafee in the box, won
5 to 0.
The GreenBblirgs have been playing
great ball, too. During tlie paBt week
they shut the . Bellevues ont 11 to 0,
downed the Homesteads twice,8 to 1 and
11 to 2, and wound up the successful
week by taking the Mt. Washington Ath-letics
into camp on Saturday 10 to 1. This
makes nine straight victories for the
Greensburgs.
The Latrobes were defeated on Tues
day by the Homesteads 0 to 4.
Manager Herrington, of the Scottdales.
says his team will play tlie McKeesports
a series of games for $500 a side if the
latter will name eleven men and play
none others.

Solith Carolina for Murder.
About two weeks ago Soutli Carolina
officers came to Pittsburg and arrested

hear the case at Harrisburg and decide
whether or not he would be justified in
revoking the warrant he issued, accept-ing

TO BE PAID OUT AT ONCE TO THE
JOHNSTOWN SUFFERERS.
Official Figures Place llic Total Number
1.0*1 at Six Tl,oii*n»(l—Tho Cambria
Iron Company’* Big Scheme.
Although not half ol the $500,000 late-ly
appropriated by the Flood Relief
Commission for the benefit of the John-stown
sufferers, has been distributed, it
is altogether likely that $1,000,000 more,
half the sum still remaining in the
hands of the commission,will meet with
immediate distribution. At least W. R.
Thomson, who is treasurer of both the
Pittsburg nnd Governor Beaver funds,
says this will be ordered at a meeting of
the latter body to bo held some time
tliis week in Johnstown, as the Pitts-burg
members are a unit for that action
to be taken.
Mr. Thompson says $10,000,000 would
not place the city where it was, nor yet
a good deal larger sum. Many, unac-quainted
with Johnstown before the
flood, have an idea that it was a kind of
“one-horse place”with no buildings that
amounted to anything; but such is not
the case. Many beautiful residences
graced the streets, the business blocks
were of brick and stone, built substan-tially
and in accordance with tlie attrac-tive
city that Johnstown was. It will
take years, possibly many, to build up
the city and make it anything like what
was before the flood; but the people
are willing and earnest, and only want
know juat what help they may expect
before they make their final arrange-ments,
and this will bo done and the
and the town given a new impetus after
the distribution of the remaining great
fund.
Official Figures on litres Lost.
A few days after tlie flood ex-Mayor
Dick, of Johnstown, in conversation
witli a JOURNAL representative,, said he
believed tlie number of lives lost would
prove to be about 0,000. Ho claimed
that in tlie flooded district there had
been a population of not less than T8,000
people, of whom fully one llurd were
drowned. Mr. Dick reasoned well as
the report of the Bureau of Information
bllOWB.
This bureau closed on Wednesday,
and according to ils registry and.canvass
the number of giving people in Johns-town
and immediate vicinity, or other-wise
accounted for, is 22,889. This leaves
putting the population at a little over
29,000, as fixed by Clark’s directory,
111 people unaccounted for.
H. A. French, the head of the bu reau,
thinks that these figures are about cor-rect
and certainly within a hundred or
so of the exact number which will never
be known, as only about 2,000 bodies
have so far been recovered.
While the books and report of the
bureau are now in the hands of the
Board of Inquiry, they wiiI be itiTtrecl-over
to the Flood Relief Commission,
and Mr. French’s report accepted as of-ficial.
The
Two Hums Burned
large barn of Adam Crousbore,
near Adamsburg, this county, was en
tirely destroyed by fire last Thursday
night. Oyer 300 bushels of old wheat
and this Year's entire crop were burned
The loss will reach $3,500 with no insu
ance. The fire originated from a spark
from an emery wheel upon which
mowing machine knife was being
ground.
The barn of Simon Fisher, at Fisher
dald, in Mt. Pleasant township, was also
burned the same day and 400 busholB
old wheat and this year’s crop were des-troyed.
The origin of this fire is not
known, but spontaneous combustion
supposed to have been tbe cause. The
loss will reach $4,000, with no insurance.
The Cambria Iron Coniimny’n IM^SrHi'me
The Cambria Iron Company lias just
made public a plan, which it lias had in
contemplation for somo lime, in regard
to the erection of clieup homes for its
employes on suitablo sites. This com-pany
owns a large farming tract of land
on Yoder 11ii 1, just west of Johnstown.
The top ol this lull is 1,751 feet above
the level of the sea, while the Pennsyl-vania
railroad station is only 1,184 above
the sea level. It will thus he seen that
one danger, that of floods, can never
trouble this place. It is proposed to
build an incline plane from near the
centre of tlie town which will reach tlie
lots in a little more than half a mile.
Here probably 500 acres can be laid out
in pleasant building lots, from which
access to the mills will he easy. It ij^
proposed to have tlie iots|laid out to tlio
best advantage by Charles R. Miller,one
of the most noted landscape engineers in
tlie country, who laid out the now cel-ebrated
town of Bryn Mawr. A general
and complete plan of the whole tract
will be made, ami upon a section of it
streets and alleys will bo graded and
paved and macadamized and other sec-tions
opened as required.
Water and illuminating gas mains will
he laid and connected witli Dio general
system of Johnstown. The natural gas
main already runs through the property.
An efficient sewerage system will also he
introduced. Tlie deeds will contain
stringent provisions prohibiting the sale
of liquors. Provision will be made for
locations for religious aud educational
buildings. A site will also he reserved
for a large hotel. Tlio scheme is looked
upon with much favor, and will help to
solve the problem of tlio futureofJohns-town.
The question of applying for national
aid to widen and dredge tlie streams
around Johnstown is being agitated.
The citizens say that unless something
is done to prevent the annual overflow
that the town will never he built up
again. This is undoubtedly true of tlie
low-lying districts, aud an earnest effort
will be made to present the situation to
Congress in such a light that an appro-priation
may be made for clearing up
the rivers. The citizens say tiiat it iB
impossible for the people to undertake
this herculean task, and unless the na-tional
government does something for
the stricken city it can never be rebuilt.
A Suicide unit n Deception.
John Snider, who lived at Woodvale
before the flood and had a pleasant home,
but whoBe wife and child and house
were swept away by the waters, bought
a self-cocking revolver in Johnstown,
Saturday morning, and, placing it to his
head, fired four times, dying instantly,
lie had been very despondent ever since
the disaster.
Miss Clara Barton, President of the
Red Cross Society, gave a 5 o’clock tea,
Saturday evening, at which many of the
best people of Johnstown were guests.
It was held in tlie new building erected
by tho society on the site of the Episco-pal
church to allord peoplo a living place
until they can get a permanent home.
The building is 45x100 feet, two stories
in height. Accommodations aro fur-nished
for 72 peoplo, and the rooms tend
lodgings are free, but tho peoplo must;

TUESDAY, - JUDY 30.
A CHANCE FOR LOCAL CAPITAL.
There Is every reason to believe that
Mt. Pleasant can, If she wishes, secure
a competing natural gas company. The
movement looking to tnat end is already
under way and In the hands of responsi-ble
parties. That it shall bo an assn red
fact, however, much depends on what
action our citizens shall take in the
matter.
In the first place, no responsible com-pany
would lay a line to any place where
natural gas is in use without some guar-antee
of patronage; while, on the other
hand, It must hold out inducements to
give itself the right to expect such
patronage.
Such inducements, we have been cred-
. Itablv informed, are being offered by the
organization which proposes to come
here. Certainly Mt. Pleasant consumers,
who are to-day paying the Southwest
company $18 a year for a cooking stove
and from $7 to $9 for each grate, can
easily see the advantage It would be to
them to get their stove fuel for $1 per
month and the supply for grates at from
$4 to $0 a year, to Ray nothing of the
satisfaction there would be in knowing
that the latter rates will remain un-changed
for live years.
We believe the only condition required
by the company, in addition to consu-mers’
signatures, is that citizens lake
stock to the amount of some f20,000.
There should be no trouble in securing
that amount if the company shows up a
clear record. There is plenty of idle
capital in Mt. Pleasant and natural gas
stock seldom fails to prove a paying In-vestment,
WILL LABOR UNITE?
It is a grand scheme that Master
Workman Powdcrly of the Knights of
Labor proposes, whereby he would unite
the whole organized labor Interests of
the country to light its battles in solid
column alike by the ballot and in con-flicts
with employers: but will it work?
Will labor unite?
The workingmen of the country are
supreme in authority If they only under-stood
and wisely exercised their power.
They can decide every important politi-cal
battle in city, state or nation, as they
are a large majority of all the voters;
but they don’t unite; th.cy often unite
in local contests Just when they should
not do so, and in a majority of cases when
they unite, they unite on the wrong can -
didates.
The supreme curse of labor organiza-
• tions is the host of brawling demagogues
■who live by pandering to the prejudices
of workingmen, and in nine caseB out of
every ten when they unite on a candi-date,
they are misled by characterless
adventurers who disgrace them in every
positiou they till. This class of pestiver-ous
brawlers has been in constant war-fare
with Powderly solely because he is
one of the few labor leaders who sincere-ly
desire to make labor true to Itself. It
Is the Lichtmans and like mean soldiers
of fortune who usually attempt to unite
the labor vote, and they always do it for
a price, leaving labor to take care of it-
Belf after the price is paid.
Labor should unite, but the first step
toward a hopeful union of labor voters
must be the unceremonious kicking out
of every labor brawler who lives by dis-turbing
the relations between employers
and employed. That done, there would
be reason to hope that the workingmen
could be sensibly united and sensibly led
to assert their rights and secure equal
and exact justice from the laws of state
and nation. Will labor unite? Wait
And see.—Phiadelphia Times.
THIS YEAR’S WHEAT OUTLOOK.
Early estimates on this year’s wheat
crop by the Agricultural Department at
Washington and by commercial agencies
placed the crop at something over 500,-
000,000 bushels, or one of the largest
ever grown In this country. Reports
from Dakota and other states and terri-tories
of the northwest now indicate a
■very short crop in that section, owing to
the extreme drought, while in the east
the wheat harvest lias been seriously
damaged by the rainy weather. Be-tween
drought iu the west and wet wea-ther
in the east lc is probable that ttie
actual crop will fall many millions short
of the earlier estimate.
This rathergloomyoutlook lias itsbright
phaee, however. The wheat crop iu In-dia,
Russia and Austro-IIungaria is un-usually
light, so that all the wheat we
haye in excess of our own needs is cer-tain
to be iu demand at a fair price. It
is not at all improbable, therefore, that
the American farmers may realize more
money for their wheat than if the crop
had turned out to be as great as indica-
RAILWAY BUILDING FOR 1889,
At the beginning of tillsyear the num-ber
of railway enterprises projected and
under way appeared phenomenal and
predictions were made that the number
of miles of new track laid during the
year would closely approach, If not equal
the record of 1887, when 13,000 miles
were added to the railway mileage of the
country.
But now that the first six months have
gone the figures show that while some
new track has been laid by a good many
railways the total mileage falls far short
of the early predictions. In thirty-one
states and territories new main line to
the extent of 1,522 miles was laid by 123
lilies, the average being 12.3 tulles to
each line", as against 20 miles for the same
period in 1888 and 27 miles in 1881. This
indicates unmistakably that few long
lines are being built, and that new rail-way
building is confined chiefly to the
construction of short brunch lines in the
states atul territories in which no more
trunk lines are needed at present.
The greatest railway activity is in the
South, the five states of North Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Texas alone showing the completion of
new track in excess of 100 miles each.
Mississippi leads with 171 miles, Georgia
comes next with 142 miles, while North
Carolina follows with 100, Tennessee
with 105 and Texas with 101 miles each.
Ten South ten states are credited with
784 miles, or more than half the new
mileage ot the season. Of the Northern
states Pennsylvania ranks highest
with 87 miles, Colorado next with 72
miles and New York third with 71'*miles.
These figures, which lorslmdow a total
of new railway mileage for the year not
exceeding 5,000 miles at the utmost, aB
an exchange figures, indicate very clear-ly
that railway investors have grown
very conservative. There is plenty of
money, but the owners are putting It
into something besides new railway en-terprises.
This is not much to he re-gretted,
however, as time will thus be
given for the country to grow up to the
the capacity of the railways already in
existence. It is better that those already
built shall become profitable and divi-paylng
than that new lines beyond the
requirements of the country be built to
be thrown into inevitable bankruptcy.
The Irwin Standard mildly hints that
we have forgotten the fate of Annanins
when publishing what a correspondent
had written about bear cubs being found
out in East Huntingdon township.
Brother Bill Morrow lias gotten so infer-nally
nice, now that he lias an editorial
chair of liis own, that he feels called upon
o resent the least attempt at exaggera-tion
on the part of any of his newspaper
brethren. We fear William’s time here
is short; he’s getting so good.

THE Unlontown Stvndard still hopes to

to Payette’s capital, and claims THE
JOURNAL made no defense when we said
the ignorance of some of our exchanges
was lamentable when telling of what Mt.
Pleasant citizens had not done for that
school. Well, our people don’t need
any, either.
THE Oklahoma boomers who got into

started up their machine and judging
from the beginning, it gives promise of
a smooth run tjirough the campaign.
The old “Star of the West,” this fall, is
going to be the ground of a pretty and
mighty close fight for judicial honors.
THE Greenshurg Democrat tears that,
it the number of illegal liquor cases from
Mt. Pleasant continues to increase at the
present rate, a special term of court will
have to be devoted to their disposal. But
ours, being a prohibition town, ought to
be allowed some privilege, you know.

It would be snfe to say that,were Gov.
Beayer to deal with another flood disas-ter

he would do it differently. To spend the

hand into the State Treasury and take it
out nor allow a “patriotic citizen” to do
It. If that or any Biuiilar authority were
to be assumed lie would let some one
else do It. It takes considerable to teftch
some men, but there is hardly any one
that cannot be taught something. Gov.
Beayer, it is safe to assume, knows more
than he did before bis Johnstown ex-perience.

SLAVERY AND LIQUOR.
WORDS SPOKEN BY CHARLES SUMNER IN
1852.
Can They Not lie Applied to (lie Present
Time !
On September 10, 1852, Charles Sum
ner said in the course of a speech at
Lowell, Mass., before the Free Soil con-vention:
“But there is one apology
which is in common to the supporters of
the old parties, and which is often In
their mouths when pressed for their in-consistent
persistence in adhering to
these parties. It Is dogmatically asserted
that there can be but two parties; that a
third party is impossible, particularly in
our country, nnd tlinr, therefore, all per
sons, however opposed to slavery, must
be content in one of the old parties. This
assumption, which is without any foun-dation
in reason, lias been so often put
forth that it has acquired a certain cur-rency;
and many who reason hastily, or
implicitly follow others, have adopted it
as the all-sufficient excuse lor their con-duct.
Confessing their own opposition
to slavery, they yet yield to the domina-tion
of party, and become dumb. All tills
is wrong morally ami, therefore, must
he wrong politically.
"Now nt this present time in our eoun
try there exists a deep controlling con-scientious
feeling against slavery. You
and I, sir, and all of us confess it. While
recognizing the Constitution we desire to
do everything in our power to relieve
ourselves of responsibility for this terrible
thing. We would vindicate the Nation-al
Government which It has established
from all participation in this outiage.
Both of tlte old political parties forgetful
of the sentiments of the Fathers and of
t ie spirit of the Constitution, not only
refuse to be in any degree the agents or
representatives ol our convictions, hut
expressly discourage and denounce them.
Tims baffled In their efforts for utterance,
these convictions naturally seek express-ion
in a new agency, the party of free-dom.
"The rising public opinion against
slavery cannot now flow in the old polit-ical
channels. It is strangled, clogged,
nnd dammed back. But^il not through
the old parties, then oyer the old parties
this irresistible current shall find its
way.”
In 18G2 Mrs. A. M. French, In the
Port Royal Mission speaking of slavery
quotes as follows from the New Orleans
Argus ot 1852 : “The loss by death, in
bringing slaves from a northern climate,
which our planters are under the neces-sity
of doing, Is not lesB than twenty-five
per cent.” and she adds, “Does not this
make every buyerand seller a murderer?
Yea, and every voter who sustains
slavery?” A remark which shows that
woman’s opinion of the moral responsi
bility of voters was the same tliirty-sevon
years ago that it 1B now.
Details of the clandestine try Bt between
Sullivan and Kilrain have crowded the
reports of camp-meetings, temperance
convocations and summer educational
assemblies into very small space in the
daily press of the last ten days. A law
of ancient Persia forbade the mention of
that which was unlawful to do. Snell
regulation would greatly promote moral
ity, but it would he a death-blow to
modern journalism—or develop a new
order of talent In that enterprising pro
fession. To what are we coming as a
nation, if the animal and the brutalized
and tlte low crowd out the claimsof their
superiors for higher and nobler things in
press and pulpit ami home? If the
masses, like BO many tigers in a jungle,
roar lor blood, must our children and
our youth be fed on gore, and the very
lintels of our door-posts he sprinkled by
the ruddy rain. It Is time for individual
protest to weigh against numerical force,
and bring about the dny when the secu-lar
press 8liall be more]sulted for entrance
to the homes of the hottest, clean and
native-born American citizen.— Umbit
Signal.
On June 18, nearly half a million men
In Pennsylvania subscribed by their
votes to the following deolar ation of the
Democratic Platform: “We oppose
sumptuary laws which vex the citizen and
interfere with individual liberty.” and
at the same time a little over half as
many, by voting for the Amendment
expressed themselves as “Cordially sym-pathizing
with all wise and well-directed
efforts for the promotion of temperance
and morality.—Republican Platform 1888.
From this it would appear that on the
principle question before the public the
state is largely Democratic. 'The Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union now
Indulges the hope that the 296,017 voters
who worked with us In the campaign
have in their hearts further
RESOLVED : 'That the manufacture,
importation, exportation, transportation,
and sale of intoxicating beverages SHALL

The Tioga, N. Y., county convention,

Frank Carpenter in a recent letter to
the rittaburg Dispatch from Ismalla,
Egypt, says
it took 25,000 of these massive rocks to
form the bases ot these piers. On the
top of tills foundation the piers were
built, and this artificial stone wid, I am
told, 1 ist as long as the natural article. &
Immense dredges are now employed |
throughout the canal. These pump up
the sand, which blows in from ttie des
ert, and throw It out beyond the bank.
There are stations or guard houses at
Intervals along the course and a few
small towns have grown up here and
there. At one of these a dirty Arab
brought a leg of raw mutton while the
boat was stopping during a trip which 1
made through the canal a few days ago
I le offered to sell it to the passengers
but found no buyer. Outside these
towns and the guard houses you see few

Mediterranean through the canal which
he built. It is 58 years since lie first
came to Egypt in the French consular
service, and It Is more than a generation
since he pursuaded the viceroy of tne
country that the work could be done.
When he begun It the English laughed
at him and scientists all oyer the world
predicted his failure. John Bull stiook
his tail and said, with a sneer, that
France and F.gypt were burying their
money in the sands of the desert, and it
was not until the waters of the Mediter-ranean
were mixed witli those of the
Red Sea, that they would admit that the
tiling could be done. Now more than
two-thirds of the ships which pass
through the canal belong to Great Brit
ian, and the English, in order to protect
their interests in India, have had to put
something like $17,000,000 into canal
shares. It is not a bad investment, for
ip 1885 the net profits of this canal were
more than $0,000,000, and after all ex-
- penses were paid the share holders re
ceived a dividend ot 17 per cent.
Tliv Canal’a Importance.
The canal increases in importance
year after year and to such extent that
it may be necessary to build a second
alongside of the first and tills plan is now
much discussed. How much is saved
by it can only be understood by consid-ering
tlie steamship routes of the past
Before it was opened, ships in going to
China and India had to go by way of the
Cape of Good Hope, and it was them
more than 12,000 miles from London to
Bombay. The voyage was one of months
instead of weeks, and it necessitated the
repeated coaling of steamers. At pres-ent
the distance by the Suez canal is
only 7,000 miles, and the saving in the
distance from London to Hong Kong is
about 4,000 miles, or 1,000 miles longer
than the distance between Liverpool and
New York. In 1886 more than 3,000
vessels paBsed through the canal, and
estimating that eacli of these vessels to
India, Australia or China made a saving
of at least 5,000 miles, it will be seen
that the aggregate saying in one year
was more than 15,000,000 miles, equal to
a distance of 600 times around the world.
I have not the statistics of the number
of passengers carried in 1886, but ten
years before that, when the ships which
passed through the canal were less than
half the number that now go through,
the passengers carried numbered more
than 83,000. Undoubtedly more than
150,000 passengers are taken through
this canal every year and the charges are
$2 on eacli passenger. It makes heavy
charges upon vessels which passthrough,
estimating them ascordtng to their ton-nage,
and tlie receipts ot the canal make
it one of the best paying institutions in
the world.
And still this canal is only 100 miles
long, it is only one twelfth tlie length ol
the Red Sea, into which it conducts tlie
waters of the Mediterranean, and these
---two bodies of water are of nearly tlie
same level. They now llow into one an
"' Other without locks, and tlie canal is
»- described as a ditch in tlie desert. This
is about 300 feet wide at the top and 150
at the bottom, and tlie water within it is
as quiet as a mill pond. It is of beauti
ful aea green, and the contrast of this
color witli tlie bare yellow sands, which
11tie the banks of tlie canal, makes it
wonderfully beautiful. The canal is so
narrow that ships can pass only at eer
tasu points, and the managers govern
tliAse passages just as tlie train dispatch
ers regulate tlie passage ol trains on our
trunk lines. There are, from time to
' time, through tlie canal, wider places,
where ships must turn in, while others,
which have the right of way, must pass
them, and at a distance these ships seem
to be walking, as it were, single file
through tlie deseet. They are uot allow-ed
to go over five miles au hour, and
this is largely due to the,deplh of tlie ca
nal. Its average deptli is about 24 feet,
and many of tlie ships which pas through
are more than 20 feet deep in the water.
There is so little water under tlie bot-toms
that there can be no great speed,

side of the ship, conies Into view a new
ship and new waters, which loom up
out of the sands and look as real as the
green water through which we are
moving. Tills is tlie wonderful mirage
of the Libyan desert, which so often de-ceives
thirsty travelers when passing
through it on camels, it fades as
you approach it and becomes a very cas-tle
in tlie air.
NO FLIES ON THE FARMER.

You call blame ils poor quality and
high price on the pesky flies,” said a sun
browned farmer, as lie unblushlngly
charged an inexperienced Philadelphia
housekeeper a round half dollar lor a
pound of pale-looking butter the other
day.
Do you mean to tell me that cows
live oil (lies?”
No, but tlie Hies feeds on the cows.
Won’t let ’em have a mlnit’s peace
Cows do nothin’ but stand in clover and
switch off flics. They come home at
night empty as a bladder. Cons can’t
chew clover while hundreds of flies and
muskeeters is leedin’ on ’em, and so we
get no milk. Butter’ll be had till the
flies go away.”

RHEUMATISM <J° NEURALGIA These ;wln (llseuseB cause untold suffering.
Doctors aumlt that they are difficult to cure—
so do their patients. Paine’s
Celery Compound has per-manently
cured the worst
cases ot rheumatism and
neuralgia—so say those who
have used It.
"Having been troubled
with rheumatism at the knee
and foot for five years, I was
almost unable to get around,
and was very often confined
to my bed for weeks at a
time. I used only one bot-tle
of Paine’s Celery Com-pound,
and was perfectly
cured. 1 can now Jump
around, and feel as lively as
a boy.” FRANK CAROLI,

to me. For the past two years X have suf-fered
with neuralgia ol the heart, doctor alter

nearly four bottles of the Compound, and am
free from the complaint. I feel very grateful
to you.” CHAS. H. LEWIS, CentralVillage, Ct.
Paine’s

"I have been greatly afflicted with acute
rheumatism, and could find no rellet until I
used Patne’B Celery Compound. Alter using

Effects Lasting Cures.
Paine’scelery Compound has performedmany
other cures as marvelous as those,—copies of
letters sent to any address. Pleasant to take,
does not disturb, but aids digestion, and entire-ly
vegetable’, a child can take It. What's the
use of suffering longer with rheumatism or
neuralgia? ' i

A Itrliable Port Wine.
Mr. A. Speer, ot New Jersey, whose
Port Grape wine hassiieh a wide repu-tation,
and which physicians prescribe
so generally, was the first in this coun-try
to import Port Wine Grape viues
from the banks of the liiver Doura, in
Portugal, where the finest old time ports
were made, and to plant vineyards of
them in New Jersey. His Port, Bur-gundy
and Claret, which are now the
best wines to be had, have become a
great favorite among the fashionable
New York, Philadelphia and Washing-ton
society. Druggists sell it.

I have not used all ol one bottle yet. I
suffered from catarrh for twelve years,
experiencing the nauseating dropping
in the throat peculiar to that disease,aud
nose bled almost daily. I tried various
remedies without benefit until last April,
when I saw Ely’s Cream Halm adver-tised
in the Boston Budget. I procured
a bottle, and since the first day’s use
have had no more bleeding—the sore-ness
is entirely gone.—D. G. Davidson,

The banks of this canal are of dry and
thirsty sand. In some places they are
kept back by pavements ol stone and in
others by a network of twigs like the jet-ties
of the Mississippi. It cost nearly
$100,900,000 to build tlie canal, and in
some places the channel bad to be cut
through solid rocks. In others there was
little dredging needed. Tlie waters of
the Mediterranean flowed into long nar-row
lakes, and these required but little
excavation to make them deep enough
for the transit of ships. One of tlie
great problems in making the canal was
fresh water for tlie workmen. Tlie work
began in 1858, and tlie ruler of Egypt
provided 25,000 laborers. These were
relieved every three mouths, but it was
necessary to feed them. It took 4,000
Water casks, which were carried ou tlie
backs of camels, to supply them with
drinking water and this was kept up for
five years. At the end of that time a
fresli water canal was arranged so that
water was carried irom the Nile to Istna
'^ja, and t6ere ls now a pipe which runs
the whole length of the canal and which
Carries fresli water from one end of it to
the other. The work of preparing har-
- bors for JPort Uaid aud Suez was very e
pensive, and I took a look at tlie piers of
Port Said, which are intended toward
off the .Accumulation of sand and mud

them was.brought here from France and
