TON

The farmers, mechanics, and other la
boring men, as well as other citizens of IL
llnOis, who believe, as declared by the
State Farmers Association, at Decatur,
on the 18th day of December, 1873, that
through the departure from the primary
principles of our government, as promul
gated by its founders, and through the i'm
prudent exercise of the highest preroga-
tive of the freeman, the right of suffrage,
we, the farmers of Illinois, as we'll as 9TH
err industrial classes, have, by their past
action, acquiesced in a system of class leg
islation which makes the great majority
slavishly subservient to a minority; that
this condition is clearly traceable to the
fostering protection which has been ac-
corded by our legislative bodies, both state
and national, to the financial, mechanical,
manufacturing, and Transporting interests,
enabling them to accumulate an undue
proportion of the national wealth and en-
couraging them in the exercise of the cor
rupting influences which have become as
ISOLATED with our legislative system; that
| the preservation of our national life impor-
tunately demands that all American voters
shall attend with care all preliminary nom
nations and elections, so as to insure the
election of competent and honest men tc
all offices in the gift of the people that
the recent record of the old political par
ties of the country is such as to forfeit the
c0n6denceand respect of the people; anC
that we are, therefore. freed from all allie
glance to them, and should act no Longer
with them and counties are hereby invit
ed to send delegates in the proportion o
one delegate to every 5000 inhabitants an(
fraction exceeding half that number, un
der the census of 1870, to a convention t

for the purpose of nominating candidate
for State Treasurer and Superintendent &

Under this caption correspondent
of the Meyersdale independent writes
letter which appears in the last issue
of that paper. We extract that por-
ton which refers particularly to our
town:
At the hospitable home of ]. J.
Hoblitzell, Esq, we were entertained
in a manner that at once treasured us.
After dining with this excellent fami-
ly, we betook ourselves to st. Mich
ael's (CaIholic) church to witness the
peculiar
CEREMONY OF 1'BLESMNG THE BELLS,
of which a splendid Chime has been
recently placed in the building.
Prior to services in the church a grand
procession, composed of delegates
from the various neighboriRg societies,
marched through the principal streets,
accompanied by four brass bands, and
finally hating at the church.
The clergymen present were Faith
ers Brennan and Ryan, of Cumber-
land; Father Schmitt, of Frostburg
Fathers Sullivan and Mahoney, OF
Westernport. and Father Hendricks
of Mt. Savage. The ceremonies began
with the recital Ct the appropriate
psalm. Water was poured upon the
bells by Father Schmitt, whilst the
ritual sentence for the occasion was
read by Father Brennan. An adj
dress of marked ability and srikingly
beautiful in thought was then deliv-
cred by Father Sullivan, by whom
the rite of the Blessing of Bells was
afterwards concluded, assisted by
Father Hendricks. St. Michaels is

Salary Grab.

AT a convent ion, packed by the social
led democracy of Frostburs, resolution
was introduced by henchman of the Hon.
John Richie, instructng their delegates to
support him for denomination, thereby en-
dorsing that gentleman's congressional career
An effort was made to push it though by Il
crack of the party whip; but, through a
part of the programme, the prime movers
greatly mistook the spirit of the times when
trying to stifie the popular voice which de-
mands honesty in our high places. While
we desire harmony and union in the party.
yet we can not and will not again submit to
being nauseated with dose Of THAT mon
strosity, the Salary Grab"
The democratic conventions through out
the land have denounced it. The daily press
has rivcn the vail which encloudcd ii and
the stencil tortured the very nostrils of the
American people. You may aspersc the
the motives of those who reveal and attack
this corruption but it will not avail. The
people have not forgotten it yet; and if a
candidate whose hands are polluted with the
filthy lucrc, is forced upon them, they will
speak this fall at the ballot-boX in thunder
tones long to be remembered

What Constitutes a Lock Out.

That trades organization is safe
which, in the establishment OF reg
ulations for its government, takes the
Iron Moulders international Union
as its guide Under the incompatible
direction of the late lamented Sylvis,
and his worthy successor, William
Satin of Cincinatti, the Molders' In
ternataonal has become almost per
lection itself, or as near to it, at least,
as is possible Of a Trades Union. At
the biennial session held in Richmond,
Virginia, some salutary laws We're en-
acted. Among them is one requiring
the formal consent of two thirds of
all the auxiliary Unions, to authorize
the support Of a strike, one empower
.ng the President and four Vice Pres
dents to stop a strike when in their
estimation to support it is simply to
throw away money, and another 8 iv-
ing the following Interpretation te
the term lockout:
"'Mhcr members quit work when they
could remain ut work, it is not Il lockout
can employer demanding and cnfo"cng Il
reduction of wages, or resisting an advance
of wages, does not constitute Il lockout.
can employer putting on over the quota
of apprentices can not be construed as
a lockout.
AN employer demanding of members
that they shall sign contracts, or that they
shall work for store-pav, or shall force
them to work bucks or quit, or demand
that they shall quit the Union or the shop,
shall constitute Il lockout if Endorsed in
accordance with law
The Molders' are doing a most COM
mendable thing in making such siren
uous efforts to prevent indiscriminate
striking, where there are sufficient
cause or when there is no possible
chance Of victory They have aimed
a death blow at one of the most pro-
life sources of Generalization and
ruin in Trades Unionism in having
thus decided, and their example
should be generally followed. Local
circumstances may sometimes render
the literal adoption of their laws by
the Unions in other trades imrracti-
cable, but they furnish the key note,
nevertheless. -Pottsyille (Pa.) Work

a very imposing structure, and with
one exception, the finest in town. 1t
is estimated that no less than fifteen
thousand persons were present on this
occasion as interested spectators.
In the evening we attended servlc-
eS at
THE NJ. f. CHURCH,
where we listened to a fine sermon by
the Rev. Few towns of its size
can boast of as fine church building
as this owned by the NJ. f. congrega-
ton. The cost of this splendid edi-
fee, we We're assured, was q tritle
more than fifty hOusand do1lws,-a
fact which speaks well for the liberal
ity of the congregation worshiping
here A pleasant feature of the ser
vices was the excellent music discours-
ed by the choir under the leadership
of Miss Armstrong, the organist.
The choir is fairly entitled to the rep
utation which it has earned for musical
talent.
After services a collation. was again
served by our kind hostess, of which
ell partook heartily except the under
signed, whose native modestv, coupled
with an aggravating attack of dyspep-
sia, forbade him from again paving
his respects to the delicacies so hos
pitably provided.
Monday morning was devoted by
deponent and his companions to in
terviewing the town. Frostburg is,
in many respects, remarkable little
city. Everywhere are Indications of
thrift and enterprise; prosperity Is
the rule-failure can result only from
shiftlessness. The many buildings in
process Of erection, show, moreover,
that in spite Of the panic and in the
teeth of the most distressing dearth of
money elsewhere, the growth of this
favored place is steady and rapid. AL
Lready she has proven herself no insig-
nificant rival to her neighbor, Cum
berland and her central location in
the coal belt of Georges Greek, in
sures her position in the near future
second to no city IN Western Mary
land
Over the many acts of lawlessne9s
and improperly committed by many
companions | throw the mantle Of 81
lence; for they have threatened, in
case | divulge any part of them, to
publish the whole shocking catalogue
before the world and father them upon

after "aoing' the town, they asserted
their willingness and their ability to
indoctrinate your correspondent and
Miss II. into the fascinating myster-
les of croquet, which proposition was
immediately acted upon to the COM
plete discontinue OF the gentlemen
making the proposition.
We left Frostburg with many pleas
ant memories Of the aoquaintanceship
formed there, and many regrets that
our stay AMONG its hospitable inhab-
GIANTS could not be indefinitely pro-
longed. ]. 7. II.

GOLD AND SILVER IN TIE BLACK
HILLs-A dispatch from a special
correspondent of the St Paul, Mimi,
Daily Press, with Clusters expedition,
says:
The expedition has completed the
exploration of the Black Hills, which
prove even richer than was before re-
ported Gold and silver are found in
numerous places, and in quantities SO
great that with a pick and pan a sin
gle miner may take out 800 a day.
The distance from Bismarck to the
gold region is about 252 miles, over Il
practicable route Citizens of Bis
marck are greatly excited, and already
expeditions are organizing.
General Custer in his report of the
expedition to the Black Hills says:
| referred in a former dispatch to
the discovery Of gold. Subsequent ex-
aminatlons at numerous points confirm
and strengthen the fact of the existence
of gold in the Black Hills, and some OF
the courses, and some of almost
every earth produces gold i'll small yet
paying quantities, Our brief halts in
rapid marching prevented anything
but a very hasty examination of the
country in this respect; but in one
place and the only one, within my
knowledge, where 50 great a depth
was reached, a hole was dug eight feet
deep. The miners report they found
gold among the roots of grass, and
from that point to the lowest point
reached gold was found in paying
quantities.
1T has needed no expert TO find
gold in the Black Hills as men with
out former experience in mining have
discovered it at the expense of but lit
tie time or labor

The Survey and the New County.

The -NcWs re-states the proposed
survey, as given in our last issue, as
follows
The Frostburg JOURNAL has heard
of protfer of 500 toward a fund to
procure the survey of Allegany and
Garrett counties authorized at the late
session of the Legislature The JOUR
NAL thinks that the defeat last fall of
the new county movement is due to
the old record at Annapolis. Doubt
less a new survey would develope
sufficient grounds upon which the pro
lect of division could be galvanized
into life before the Legislature meets
again. If $3.50 can be raised and a
dozen citizens in each Alleganv and
Garrett counties petition for 1t, the
Governor will order the survey.
About the sufficient grounds there
is no doubt-uo more than of the oper-
alton of the "gairanic process should
the survey be made With the new
county and the Trans Alleghany Canal
running where we want it and where
it ought to 90, there is no reason why
we should be unhappy.
B, On the same subject the Times
strings together a few rusty and re-
proachful proverbs:
The Frostburg JOURNALS nesurrcct-
ing the sickly idea Of a rew county.
Don't neighbor. We think there ;
room enough for all in old Allegany
Don't bring to mind the old saying
about getting too hg fog the breeches
Let we'll enough alone. If tine world
is not Just as we want at let $ make the
best Of it.
No matter how sic ky the *'nesy
county idea has never ceased to fret
the Cumberland press, 1t IS not be
cause the coal region has Furnished the
pants and somehow suffers Cumber
land to wear them, but the fear that
they will revert where they belong
which will bring to anind the new
saying of somebody getting too small
with little or no "breeches" at all.
