e BOD, pious aud magnanimons Isaac
Morris, ten thousand souls of the size
of yours could dance a hornpipe on
the point of a cambria needle.
To be neighborly, we furnished this
high-minded, noble man of the "stick-
in-the-mud" dish rag, a proof sheet of
an article written expressly for the
DEMOCRAT last week, and he mani
tested his gratitude for our f~avoryaad
exhibited the diminutiveness of his
soul, by putting it in his paper as a
communication, without any credit
That was the quintesence of little
ness, Isaac. We always considered
you lacked the proprieties of a gen.
tleman and the courtesies of a neigh
bel, but did not think you were so
low down that you would undertake
to tilch an obituary. Call again when
you want an accommodation.

it to us. Possibly they may weigh
us and find us wanting again.

harnesses seem to fit our new Officers,
and everything works smoothly.
The Grand Jury were sworn and
charged aud the Court proceeded to
call the Docket. Quite a number of
cases were continued, and a few dis
continued or dismissed.

THE CIGAR MAKERS CIRCULAR

We herewith publish in full the able and
comprehensive address Of the National Ex-
eCutive Board to their craftsment through
out the country, and as it comes from men
into whose keeping the welfare Of the sew
eral organizations have been entrusted
whose administration will in great meas
ure be responsible for their status for the
next two years, we trust every cigar maker
in the country will give it an honest, care
full and thorough perusal. The questions
treated arc Of the utmost Importance, and
upon the decisions rendered by the local
unions our humble Judgment depends
the future welfare, if not the existence, Of
the organizations We also trust that
every Union will do its duty in the prem
ises by recording its vote, so that we shall
hear no more complaints about constitu-
ton being adopted that is distasteful to the
majority. Unions that fail to perform such
duty have no right to grow whatever may
be the issue, and the only way TO ascertain
the will Of the majority is for every mem
Der to record his vote.
The kindly reference to the ADVOCATE
is appreciated, but as we propose to review
the Circular at length, our comments on
this and other matters discussed will be
postponed till future issue.

against its adoption as plank Of the plat

on the popular breath but the assertion
that 1t has been before the people is utterly
false. 1t never has been, and never tril

left home on the Dist of September,
and arrived at Summit Point, Jefferson
county, W. Va, on the 23d, where met
our esteemed friend and co-worker in the
cause Of human justice, Hon. john A.
Thompson, who was waiting al the depot
to convey us to his home, which is stu
ated in the middle Of a fine farm Of ZOO
acres, surrounded by fine old trees that
have stood the storms If a century. We
were met there by his son, DIR. Thompson,
one of the finest young men ] ever met,
and who is mOre-a true Labor Reformer.
After resting the balancs of the day and
night, and being visited by some gentle
men, amongst whom was Mr.. Lack, the
owner Of Rock Farm, also true Labor
Reformer, Mr.. Thompson and ! started by
buggy and visited Benyville, and there
spoke to a fine body of farmers, in the
Courthouse This town is in Clark county,
old Virginia We then went to Charles
town and held rousing meeting. Also
at Shephsrdstown, Winchester, Martins
burg, and other places in the valley, where
after very pleasant stay Of nine days,
took the cars at Harper's Ferry and ar
rived here safely last evening, with the in
tention of visiting Frostburg, Piedmont,
and other places in Maryland, in the range
Of the Alleghenies, where | hope to visit
the miners Of Maryland, and try to intro
duce the claims Of the ADVOCATE, as well
as the doctrines Of Labor Reform.
] am happy, indeed, to inform you and
the readers of the ADVOCATE, that we have
thousands of true money and labor re-
formers in the Shenandoah Valley, made
so by the untiring work and ability OF
John A. Thompson, who has nobly done
his share of the great work and only
wish that we had thousands of others that
would do likewise. What is wanted are
true men that will work for the great
cause of Justice TO Humanity, and emanci-
patton from the tyranny of the money
power. Resolutions ut . convention will
not do this. It must be done By untiring
work. Only give M money ct 3 per cent,
and in amounts sufficient TO do the BUSH
