Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1877-08-01

An the channels TO business, to Office. to
industry are open alike to all. There I. o
government like this any where else on God's
esrth, and Jet spirit of discomfort, is abroad
among the people. They are miserable be-
cause of their jsa!ousies, their envy, and
their ambition.
There seems to be an indefinite under
standing rs to what is right and wrong
among men. The majority of people abox
the towns seem to be governed by the ap-
parent strength Of parties, az illustrated,
when the mob seemed likely to carry e, cry
thing they were full Of excuses for the
action of the mob; now that law and order
is asserting itself, the people who counte-
nanced the rioters seem to be In favor OF
law and order.
Within the past week the Harrisburg Tel
egroph has been reduced in size from an
eight-column folio 10 a seven-column folio,
In new typa. 1t is hearty, vigorous-toned
paper, aud in reducing its siss it is but rec
ogniEing the "eternal fitness OF things" that
have come into play since the panic. Dur
ing the war the newspapers caught the in-
tation fever, and all greatly enlarged, With
out increasing there subscription price.
Since then there has been a shrinkage in all
things excepting in the size of newspapers.
| Last Friday afternoon bolt of lightning
killed valuable COW and two fine 6-month
| old calves that belonged to the editor OF this
paper. The cattle were sheltering from the
rain under the foliage of an appls-tree. If
t had not been for the dead cattle, and
dead bird that was partly stripped of its
plumage, no one passing that way would
have ever conjectured that lightning de-
scended there, for il left no mark excepting
TO scarify small root along the surface of
the ground that grew out ef the base of the |
trunk OF the apple-tree, and if the scarified |
never have been attributed to lightning.
A MAN who has numbe- of men en-
pioyed has much right to form a cor
spiracy with as many rurtisns as be can se-
cure to compel men TO work for him, IS the |
strikers have to form a conspiracy with ruff
hans to compel men 10 quit work, when they
are al work, or TO prevent them from work
ing when they can get work If you can
make msn quit work. you can make him
work. There is no difference in the princi-
pie. The men who advocate such princi-
ralas tha -.,gs ia.
for the principle is that of wrong and des-
spotisn. A man NAV hire or employ men
10 work for him, bat he cannot compel men
to work for him. A man may CUT work,
but he cannot compel other men to abstain
from work, or prevent other men from
taking his place when he quits wors. and
the man who advocates that he can compel
his fellow men to work, or compel them TO
quit work, is advocating what will end in
STR 'ng government and slavery. A free
government cannot partakc large of such
doctrines aac live, any more than a man
can partske OF pOIson shd live.
