Paradise Letter.
PARADISE, KY, Oct. 6.

1AhADlSEJ NY Oct. y.
Editor Herald:
Not being one Of those "who bend the
supple hinges Of the knee that thrift
may follow fawning," yet ask to reply
to your editorial headed "Ku-Klux," IN
the HERALD of the 81, in order to cor
rect some wrong impressions made by
that statement, and set ourselves right in
regard to that matter before your read
ers. We were not influenced or instiga-
ted by any malice or hard feeling in try
ing to sustain the late strike, but we
cheerfully acquiesced in the movement
But we did not threaten nor try to force
using only arguments at the places we
visited. We did not 60 as a pack Of
drunken ruffians, but as one gentleman
would visit another. At McHenry
mines, Captain David Duncan, with a
pension for goose bite). used arguments,
and we had a wordy debate. And we
can say without fear OF successful con-
tradiction, that no force was employed
or threats used by our men. As for the
Captains letter from the A. o. H., none
of us know nything about such organi-
cation, and care less, as we think such
order emanated from the fertile brains of
interested parties and was produced for
influence.
The drunken mob" that should have
started from Rockport on last Friday
was not known Of or heard of in this
country. Some one was trying to scare
themselves.
Some curious fellows want to
know wha. was the matter with
the high sheriff and deputy. and posse
that evening. Several Of the quietest
and best citizens of MeHenrY say they
acted like drunken men. don't know
who got lost or fell of their horses, as
| did not follow to see. But a man will
hear things.
We did nothing that makes US fear q
grand jury, for the miners Of this section
are law-abiding men and wish to do
right But a man cannot live honest on
low wages and one>third time. Labor
and capital have to harmonic in order
to be self>supportiDg. We blame those
one~horse operators for bringing down
the price of Kentucky coal. They cut
the regular prices in order to effect sale
and the miner has to pay the loss.
To hear some men talk a coal miner
has scarcely any right to live and posi-
lively must not earn enough money to
bring any pleasures or enjoyments to his
family, and If some poor halIstaryed
wretch is persuaded into work against a
general strike by some petty coal opera
tor, and men-yes menl-if they do
blacken their faces at honest labor-ar-
que them out and try to keep up honest
wages so that women and children can
live. they are branded Ku>Klux, and ev-
cry other title synonymous of crime and
inismY.
We do not. and never did, propose mob
violence, nor shall not resort TO it. As
for the notice signed by N. L. Weeks, it
was only the action Of all, and be was
chairman, and there was no overt action
entertained in it. SEMPER IDEM.

LINES To BETTE.

Oh. "Bettie." does your wife
Keep Bible lying byf
IT she does, just turn the leaves
Till this passage meets your eye,
Its about the mote and beam
But will not quote it here,
Lest you should not understand,
Or my meaning not be clear.
Did you never quote q line
OF Poetry or prose,
Did you never reach your hand
And pluck . ueighbOr's rOse1
And, as II gave an odor,
That you thought almost divine,
Did you never press It gently,
And say that "this 10 mine"
And, "Bettie, ne must learn,
B,th In literature and life,
Te help our fellow-mau,
And thus avoid all strife.
We must not show their faults,
Tho they are glaring ones, I ween,
But must kindly draw the curtain
Them and tho world between.
And, "Bettie,' don't be proud,
Though know you are very learn'd.
Let US never claim the spoils,
Till victory We have earned.
Let Henri" dream his dreams.
Undisturbed by you or inc,
And 90 cultivate the virtue
That 10 known as charity.
MINNIE.
