—If it is n n h t for capitalisth •<) form

nyndicatm. it in certainly proper for l a -

l»oring m e n to organize labor unions, or societies of any other name for their own

welfare and protection. Labor organi-zations ought not to l>e regarded as hos-tile to the moral or material interef-ts of

the communi ty or count ry . It is t rue

tha t they sometimi's. in Home places, go

fa r beyond a judicious use of their or-

ganized power, and work great in ju ry to life and property, but so long as they

hold themselves within their own pre-M-ribed limits and adhere strictly to tin-

tenets of the order they a re enti t led to public rei-ognitionand respect—far more

than a syndicate of millionaires who or-

ganize simply for the purpose of squeez-ing to timmcial dea th small operators.

War between capital and lalior is always bad. Let there he no cause for such

war, should lie the motto and aim of all. The " l ive ami let live" rule should .he the golden rule adopted by l)oth capital

and labor. The JOURNAL believes in the

"greates t grxsl to the greatest number ." We beheve it to he morally wrong for

combined capital to reverse this rule. We Itelieve it to l»e moral ly r ight for the

people t o oppose and resist oppression. Ru t in doing so intelligence and wisdom should lead, not communism and dyna

• mite. No^'socialistic" or"communintic~

elements should be allowed to wear the honorable badge of any lalior organiza-

tion. No labor iinion.Keekingthe"great-

••st good to the greatest number , " can afford to admi t them. Good results

come from good sources, f rom good mo-tives. and the controlling element in ev -

ery organization mus t be wise and g«)od

nr the results will be bad. This is true in social and political l ife, and in every

organized Ixnly of people.

—William Lynch of Illinois, a gallant

you th of 23, has just discovered tha t the doctor who presided over the meeting

t ha t hailed wi th joy his debut on the

stage of life, recorded the event in due form but made the slight mistake of

registering him a s a girl instead of a boy. Young Lynch was confronted by this

fac t whBe endeavoring to procun a pen-sion on account of his fa ther ' s war ser-v ice. He has found t ha t it will require

an order f r o m " t h e cour t" to have the record corrected. I t is lucky for Lynch

tliat he is a single girl instead of a mar

ried m a n .

- T h e oldest and moot f a i th fu l body ser-

vant of the late Geo. Washing ton having

died a great many t imes since he first began t o die, and having, i t is believed,

entirely died out a t last, the aching void Ls now filled by the discovery of a violin

tliat once belonged to Mr. Washington. As there are doubtless more violins

where this came f rom, we shall expect

that , in the course of four or five years,

there will lie about a car load of W a s h -ington's old fiddle on exhibit ion in vari-

ous parts of the country .

—Somebody again suggests W. (i .

Thompson of Detroit for Governor. " Jones ! Jones:" shouted a man at a

public meeting. " Jones ! Jones! he

cont inued to yell. " S h u t y o u r head! ' exclaimed a bystander, " t ha t ' s Jones

ta lking now." " N o tha t ain ' t Jones,

e i ther ," replied No. 1, " t ha t ' s the fellow

who told m e to holler for Jones." Never-

theless it was Jones. It seems very proper to shuck this old chestnut right

here.

—"The people are beginning to realize the u t te r rottenness of the Democratic cry of reform. • • * There was no higher principle to hold the fusion ele-ments together in Michigan than the co-

'liesive power of public plunder. The Republican |>arty ought t o have been defeated, bu t it would have l)een better not t o have put a worse set in. "—The Center.

The above is f rom the prohibition par-ty organ of this s tate . Is it a case of

death-lied repentance?

—Mayor Carter Harrison says the new

liquor Sunday law for tha t c i ty need not ly construed as meaning tha t the saloons iiiust qui t doing business on Sunday,but

merely requires tha t the doors shall be

closed and blinds pulled down so that passt n, by may not l»e disturbed by pass-ers in, &c. In short Mayor Harrison is

in favor of violating the spirit of the law. He is a nice m a n to elect mayor of a

great metropolis.

—The sudden demise of Miss Kate

Bayard, eldest daughter of Secretary-Bayard, is a sod event deeply mourned in Washing ton society. She was found

dead iu her bed, death resulting it was

HUp|iosed f rom heart disease, hbe was 28 years old: a brilliant lady whose line presence and conversational powers

made her a g n at favori te jn Washing-

ton.

—Belva Lockwood, late candidate for

the Presidency of the United States, comes forward with the declaration tha t " t h e r e is more morali ty among the

, Mormons than a m o n g any equal n u m -

lier of Gentiles anywhere in the United States." Mrs. Lockwood has an exten-sive acquaintance among the Gentiles.

—The decision of the United States supreme court that t he Sta te of Michi-gan cannot impose a liquor tax on per-

sons of other states sidling liquor to deal ers in this s ta te is an important and u n -

expected decision. We give its ful l text elsewhere in this |Kij>er.

- P r e s i d e n t Cleveland gives notice

that he shall not give his reasons to the Senate for suspending office holders.

: His reason for not desiring to give las I reasons, it Ls reasonable to suppose, is that in many instances he hasn ' t any

I g'XMl reason to offer.

—Last week the gold shipments f rom

New York to Europe amounted to $I,:M7,0(X). But we have no trouble in keeping the Kl-cent silver dollar at home.

You could put it on the gang plank with a free pass in its hand and it wouldn' t gi) to Europe.

—The North shows its w eakness in retir ing its members of congress lief ore

they fairly become famil iar with the routine work of the national legislature. The South has a lways exhibited bet ter wisdom.

—Weather prophet Wiggins of ( ' anada comes to the front again and says IN knew all the t ime just wha t the weather

was going to be. He wants to hire out as a signal service bureau.

—Congressman Moffat of this slate will introduce a bill providing that

a r rears of pensions lie g ran ted to all

soldiers pensioned by special acts of

congress.

—Senator Sherman resumed his du-

ties as president pro tem. of the Sena te last Monday. H e only went to Ohio to

take his g r a t i t ude to the t rus ty , tried

and true.

—Editor Stead, of the I'all Mall ( i a -

zette. was released f rom prison last Mon-day. having served t w o months therein

for " indecent assault ." He feels quite

rested.

—A new weekly paper will make its

appearance in Detroit next month .under the management of Chtts. M. Parker , late city editor of the Evening Journal .

—Some day. a f te r a few years more

of boring and tunnel l ing, this globe of ours may turn inside out. Then where

Dear reader, of course you expect to

Sir. 0 . E. Hershey, for m a u y years

The Rev. Dr. C. -H. Smith of Grand

Rapids wri tes t o the Christian Herald as

follows: . '•The stvie of preaching today, is of

the quiet." chaste, gentle kind. Every-thing U toned down and is of a neu t ra l t int \ n d noise is not the secret of suc-cessful oratory. Screaming moves no o n e O n e p e a i n t h e IHXI W i l l m a k e

more noise than half a dozen will, when t is shaken. Thunder kills no one.

Powder is not cannon balls. Suppressed motion is but a little less miraculous, but it must be real. Press down noth-ing. the effect is a disgust . The reserved juixver of that man whose whole exist-

ence quivers under terrible exc i t enun t but Ls kept well in hand, LS a silent wonder. His voice may be low- and soft and hLs manne r quiet ami mild, he will move the congregation to its lowest soundings."

W e have received a communicat ion for publication f rom a "Farmer ' s wife"

advising farmers not to patronize the Low-ell Creamery, claiming tha t it is more profitable to farmers to m a k e their

own but ter at home. We w-ithold the communicat ion for the present because

w e do not believe the writer has suffi-ciently tested the merits of the Creamery

to be able to j u d g e even to lier own entire satisfaction. Certainly her opin-ion differs very materially f rom that

expressed by those patrons of the Cream-ery with whom we have talked con-

cerning this very question. We have l»een led to believe tha t the Creamery was established here in response to a general desire among fanners , as well

as business men, and that while it has not so far been run at a profit to its stockholders—but rather at a loss—it

nevertheless has been favored and en-

couraged by many farmers who believe

it to l)e a good thing and are anxious to

see it sustained. We believe that a very- large major i ty of its jiatrons last

year are fr iends of the Creamery l»e-cause they t m n k they can do better to

sell their cream than to c h u m it. In view of these facts and another iaijHir-

tadt item, that the Creamery is doing its best to establish itself here so as to l»e a constant source of profit to its patrons

and stockholders, we think all adverse criticisms should U- w itheld until the institution is fair ly on its feet and has !

a fair chance to show what it can d o . ! We can name a good many farmers who 1 patronized it last year who speak in the |

highest terms of the Lowell Creamery | and would deeply regret to see it go ]

down. Give it a chance.

JOBBINC III ALL BRANCHES A SPECIALTY,

An Unexp«ote<I Uecinlon; The United States Supreme Court last

Monday, rendered a decision in the case

of Samuel A. Wal l ing against t h e people of State of Michigan. In June , l{<y3.

Wall ing, the plantiff in error, was prose-

cuted in the Police Court of Grand Rapids. Mich., under a Sta te law impos-ing a t ax on persons engaged in the

business of selling liquor in tha t State, to be shipjied f rom any other State. H e was a d r u m m e r for the firm of Cavanagh &. Co.. of Chicago, and he w a s charged

in one court wi th selling liquor at whole-

sale without a license, and in another wi th soliciting and taking orders for its

prisoned in defaul t of payment . He appealed to the county Circuit Court, in which the case was tried by a j u ry and he w a s found gui l ty . The case w-as carried to the Supreme Court of Mich-igan, which decided against Wall ing.

The question is whether the s ta tu te un-der which Wal l ing was prosecuted is

repugnant t o the Constitution of the United States. This court held. J u d g e Bradley delivering the opinion, tha t a

discriminating tax imposed by the Sta te operat ing to the disadvantage of the

products of other states, when introduc-ed to the first mentioned, is in effect , a regulation in restraint of commerce among the States, and as such is a

usurpat ion of power conferred by the Constitution upon the Congress of the

United States. The Supreme Court of Michigan held t ha t the t ax imposed by

the act is an exercise of t h e police power

of the State for the discouragement of

the use of intoxicat ing liquors, and the preservation of the health and morals of the |H-ople. The Supreme Court of the United Sta tes holds t ha t this would be a

perfect justification of the act if it did not discriminate against the citizens and

products of other States, and thus usurp one of the prerogatives of the National Legislature. The court concluded its

opinion as follows: " W e th ink the act in question operates as a regulation of commerce among the States in a mat te r wi th in the exclusive power of Congress, and that it is for this reason repugnant

A barrel of cider where the i>oys can

have access to it is more dangerous than a barrel of gunpowder .—| Farm Rcono-mist.

The way to get manure is to make ii. and the t ime to use it is as soon a f t e r it is made as practicable.—|Cur. Phila. Re-cord.

It is much to the credit of the colleges,

that the strongest fr iends of the agricul-tural colleges of the country are those who know most about them.—[Maj. H. E. Alvord.

An agricultural college that lacks facilities for teaching practical agricul-

ture has a want that should be supplied in advance of all others.—[New England Homestead.

The real dog needed on the fa rm is one that will hole a woodchuck at any hour in the day or night and will lay

by the hole and watch until he captures

his frame.—[Victor M. Drake.

Instead of put t ing fertilizers on the wheat crop to help the grass, the plan

should be reversed, and fertilizers of all kinds should IK- put on the grass a year

or two before it is plowed for wheat or corn.—[Judge J a m e s W . Waters .

While there is no reason or sense in recommending the abandonment of corn in the com region, cotton in the cotton

belt, wheat where wheat is the most profitable, or flax where it makes the best and readyist available returns, an addition <>f mixed crops would not only

add to the resources of the country, but improve agricul tural ideas.—[B. F . J o h n -son.

A farmer who keei)s the roadway free of stone, and cuts all foul weeds and

thistles, so that none of them go to seed, we at once conclude is a good and suc-cessful farmer . On ' t h e other hand a

man who neglects the weeds, lets thistles go to seed and blow- over into his neigh-bors fields, to annoy him. is generally a

poor farmer and a fa i lure at the business. —[Cor. of the Country Gent leman.

"Don' t put all your eggs in one bask-et." is all wrong. I tell you " p u t all

your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket." Look around you and

take notice: men who do tha t do not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry

the one basket. It is t ry ing to carry too

many baskets tha t breaks most of the eggs in this country . He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip bin up.

—[Andrew- Carnegie.

The farmer is in need of a higher I

education—the disciplined mind and a ' larger amount of information—as a I means of self-protection, that may be

able to defend himself and hih against the sharks and humbugs which so often entangle him. What he wan t s is ability disciplined, and knowledge widened,

until he is able to measure aims,forecast results, and thwar t the purposes of his

unscrupulous foe. He wan t s to !»• drill-ed so that he may lie able to meet the intellect of the knave on the mail, of

the scoundrel on the street corner.—

1 Prof. C. H. Hall.

The only question in regard to grow-

ing big crops of potatoes is: ••Will it pay to supply the conditions?' same Ls true with regard to every th ing

the farmer produces. But, behind this question, are the four elements, of fa i th ,

capital, energy, and skill. The grass

crop, all grain crops, the meat , clieese and but ter production—none ot these have yet been pushed f u r t h e r than to tell us wha t is profitable, with those

four factors just as they are now. But one thing is very certain, so long as the average results cont inue low. there will

a lways IK- room enough and profit enough " u p high." in farming,—IDi. T. H. Hoskins.

Fears of nioodcheil In the renutylvanla Coke Regions—The Governor Asked to Send Troops—The HangnrUns. Men and Women, Inaugurate a Reign of Terror by Their Riotous Actions. PNTSBONCII, P a . , J a n . 2 0 . — L a s t e v e n i n g

a car-load of uniformed police was dis-patched from this city to the scenes of the riotous disturbances in the coke region. The police were sent in response to a tele-gram from Colonel Frick, of the Morewood and Standard coke works, asking for aid. The ofllcers will be sworn in by Sheriff Stewart, of Westmoreland County, as deputies. It is thought that the small body of uniformed men will have better ef-fect upon the riotous Hungarians than live times as many officers in citizens' dress. Governor Pat t ison has also been called upon for military nid, but bns nnf an yet responded.

In the Connellsville. Mount Pleasant, Stonerville, Scottdale and Broadford dis-tricte a total of 2,772 ovens, or about one-third of the ovens in the region, are idle. The Hungarians, numbering about eight hundred in the Mount Pleasant district, are hard to handle, the nomen being worse than the men. They are very revengeful, and will fight to the death before they will be captured.

Yesterday morning the strikers pro-ceeded in a body of about two hundred and drove the men from the yards of the Alice mines. They blew up the tipple with dyn-amite aud drove White, the superin-tendent, from the grounds, threatening his life. Wherever the fiery Hungarians go they carry a reign of terror with them.

Preparation! MaUng for the National Convention In Chicago Neit Month— Object* of the Oatheriag. NEW YORK, J a n . 1 7 . — T h e E x e c u t i v e C o m -

mittee representing the PostmnstcrB' No-tional Convention to bo held in Chicago February 15 has been in thi« city some days conferring with publishcrR in relation t o ' t h e interests ol the convention. Tho chairman was aern and some information wan obtained regnnling the wishes of the postmastere. nCHoid: "This move on the port of the postmasters 'H not made in a spirit ol insubordination, but is simph an appeal to Con-;reBH (or Ihe enactment ol cer-tain laws granting them a lair and just compensation for the labors they perform. All persons, Congressmen or department officers, are fully convinced tha t tho post-masters of the third and fourth clnsn are the hardest worked officials in the employ of the Government in proportion to the salary they receive. All persons with whom our committee lias come in contact feel nn interest in the success ol the pres-ent movement There nre some SI,000 postmasters of the two classes referred to, forty thousand of them belonging to the lower grade. The third-class postmasters want the Government to pay their expenses for rent, light and fuel, tho name as it do a for offices ol the first and second grades. Tho fonrth-clasa postmasters want the law fixing their incomes so amended that they may receive the first $100 received for stamps sold instead ol the first $500. ns at present. Then their commissions can remain as they a-e. The postmasters ol both grades want the law so framed that, they will receive the entire revenue from their rental of boxes, instead of dividing with the Government. They feel tha t il they invest their own money in the pur-chase of new and attractive outfits for the patrons ol their offices they ought to re-ceive the entire benefit from the outlay."

" H a s this move any political signill-cance?"

"None in the world. I t is entirely a non-partisan movement. We do not propose to permit any discordant element to creep into our council'". Postmaster-Oencral Vilas is most heartily in favor of the con-vention, and thinks great good will come from it. So does First Assistant Post-master-General Stevenson. We saw Gen-ernl Vilas and had quite a pleasant talk with him. We also saw Senators Con-ger, Wilson. Logan, and others, and they all gave us their cordial godspeed. There will be delegates from every State in the Union. Our committee has sent out 100,-000 circulars t c postmasters, to newspa-pers, to Congressmen and to the public. We are determined to convert the public to our cnuse."'

It Dealt out Summary .limtlce to Eppi, the Colored Mnrderer of Farmer Dob-son—A Lynching Dee at Vincennes, Ind.

VINCENNES, I n d . . J a n . 18. 3 : 0 0 a . m — Holly Epps, colored, who was brought here on Friday to esr-ape the justice meted out by Judge Lynch s court in Greene County, where he murdered bis employer, Farmer Dobson, and attempted to out j rage tho farmer's wife, was taken from the County Jail hero this morning at 1:30 o'clock and hangedinthe yard of theCourt-House. An attempt was made on Friday night by the vigilantes of Greene County to gain admission to the jail, which failed, the jail door being strong enough to baffle the mob. At one o'clock this morning the watchful reporter, who had stationed him-self in n physician's office opposite the jail, heard o deep, full-toned call at the outer door of the Sherifl's residence, which is surrounded by a high iron fence. Apparently a reply was mode from within. The deep voice then demanded admission, and the tone was calculated to stir weak nerves. The parley was short, and in half a minute the leader commanded; "Ready, boys, take car within, strike," and the wooden door was shattered by one blow from a heavy sledge. Tho mob, which was small in numbers, not over fifty men in all, left one man at the gate of the high iron fence, and one at each side of the entrance to the jail. The others with sledges and cold chisels attacked the ponderous lock upon the steel door. In fifteen minutes the door gave way and two of the mob entered the jail and in a moment led Epps out through the corridor, the mob falling into line behind. They took the poor wretch, mumbling prayers and trying to sing as he went, into the court-yard. The rope, which bad been adjusted about his neck, was thrown over the lower limb ol a shade tree. "Heavo away, ' ' said the deep voice, and in ton minutes the life of the brute was extinct.

Sudden Death of MIIH Kate, Eldest Daugh-ter of Secretary Bayard—The Sad Event Caused by Heart Olsv .Avs. WASHINGTON, Jan . 18.—A groat sensation

was caused in Washington Saturday after-noon by the announcement of the sudden death of Miss Katherine Bayard, the eldest daughter of the Secretary of State. She had been suffering with neuralgia for some time, and yet had participated ip the gayety of the capital, and on Fri-day bad aided her mother in receiv-ing guests in the afternoon, and attended another reception in tho evening. She was dressed in a low-necked costume, and was eubjccted to a chilly draught. She was to have assisted Miss Cleveland in re-ceiving a t tho White House on Saturday afternoon, and was allowed to repose until noon. When the noon hour arrived Miss Lirzie Bayard entered the room and found her sister; BM she supposed, still sleep-ing. When she attempted to awaken her she found she was senseless. She attempt-ed to rouse her, but instantly perceived by the drawn look ol her face and its waxen color t ha t something had happened. She rushed out ol the room and hurriedly «ent a colored messenger for the familv doctor. The doctor came a t once. He entered the bedroom where Miss Bayard was lying, made a brief examination and shook bin head. He said be could do noth ing; she was dead, and had been dead for some time, although the body was then wnTn. In response to the appeals of the family, be said it was evident her death had been paused by some heart trouble.

Tho ladies of the White House were all ready to receive their guests, and were awaiting the arrivnl of Miss Bayard before entering the parlors, when a telephone mes sage announced her death. Tho Wliit< House was a t once closed. Mr. and Mrs. Bayard are broken down with gritf.

"The Tourist Season."

With the constantly increasing facili-

ties and conveniences for travel, the so-called " tour i s t season" is rapidly becom-

ing a thing of the past, and travel for pleasure or health will soon cease to be

generally confined to part icular months

of the year . Especially is this t rue since desirable win te r resorts have been de -veloped by the proyislon of necessary conveniences and accessories to locali-

ties whose natura l a t t ract ions of climate

and scenery are calculated to invigorate both the body and mind. Prominent

among such are the resorts of Southern California and Mexico. They are reach-ed by th rough trains over the Bur l ing-ton Route. C., B. & Q, R, R., f rom Chi

cago or Peoria , to ei ther Atchison or Kansas City, where connection is made

with the Boutbprn routes for Mexico or

California. If , however, business or pleasure dictates a visit to San Francisco

en rou te to these resorts, the Burlington Route also runs through train over its

own track f rom Chicago, Peoria or St Loyis, e i ther by the way of Kansas

City, Pacific Junct ion . Council Bluffs, Omaha, direct to Denver, t he great dis t r ibut ing point for all Colorado and P a -

cific Coast points. These th rough trains are elegantly equipped, and ride you over a track tha Is as smooth and safe

as a perfect road-bod, steel rails, iron
