meeting and said at would be well
for the Temperance people Of Port
land and Oakland to meet together
often aud unite their efforts to pro-
mote the interests of the temperance
cause. In thus meeting together a
social feeling will be cultivated which
will be beneficial and productive of
great good" On motion DR.. Frey

Band of Hope or their visit, and
expressed the hope that it would be
repeated at an early day he hoped
to see the people of Oakland and
Portland more closely united in the
Temperance work, ana meetings such

Temperance Lecture.
NiIZPAII.

On Monday evening, Mr.. Tatum,
of Ohio, Quaker, lectured on the
subject of intemperance, in the NJ.
+. Church, to large audience. Mr..
Tatum is an uncOmpromising advo-
cate of prohibition, and is laboring
to effect that end. He looks upon the
manufacture and sale of liquor as a
crime, and believes they should he
legislated out of our country. The
lecture was well received, and we

The organizotion of the Temper
ahce party on last Friday evening,
in City Convention, and the senti-
ments expressed by the speakers up
on that occasion clearly indicate the
purpose of the advocates of temper
ance to submit that question to the
arbitrament Of the ballot box at the
approaching election. This move
ment, in view of TIE men ofcharacter,
intelligence and influence who are its
leaders, bids fair to discomfort the
plans ofpoliticians and many produce
results which will change the aspect
of parties In this city and State. 1t
is quite apparent that Mr.. Daniel and
his co-laborers are not discouraged by
the recent defeat which they met in
their encounter with the Legislature,
but are determined to rally their
forces in organized effort at the polls
and if possible secure the election of
men pledged to the cause of temper
ance.
That the movement is formidable
and will take from both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties many
of their most active and influential
advocates cannot be questioned, and
that the advocates of Temperance
haye with deliberation and care fully
determined that this question, on
account of the vast interests involved,
shall be made political issue is
equally certain. The dominant party
that has SO long controlled the local
politics of this city will ere long real
ize the fact that an opponent will
confront them in the next election
whose ranks will be largely swelled
by men who have heretofore acteG
with them that the leaders are not
fanatics, but cool, reselute determin-
ed men, who conscientiously believe
in the justice of the cause in which
they are engaged. -Bolto. Herald.

her owners, say she is still in their
hands and will be altered to their
order. They would not say, how
ever, that she has not or will not be
sold. The statements Of the MessrS
Cramp, who are to make the altera-
tons, are equally indefinite as to the
character and purposes of the latter.
This evasiveness is generally, with
other signs, taken as conclusive of
the fact that Russian agents have
bought her. Mr.. Clyde says it will
take $500, 900 to buy her. The Juni-
alta, of the Southern mail line, was
partly loaded last week for her regu-
lar trip, but her cargo was discharged
to allow an inspection SAID to have
been made under the supervision of
the Russian agents. She was found
unsatisfactory.

GAS the year rolls on" remarks
one of our contemporaries, 1.-THE eX-
ports Of this country increase, while
our imports remain almost STATIC
niry as compared month with
month. According to official data
our total imports for the nine months
ended April Both, were 1919, 30, 900,
while our exports in the same time
were valued at 1922, $50, 900, showing
a balance of trade in our favor of oyer
S203, 000,0 900, fully one half of which
is nc doubt now represented in the
bonds of the nation, the ownership
and earnings Of which are thus
happily placed with the American
people, where they belong. Owing
to the promise of larger crops than
ever before known, and a continued
foreign demand for our cereals, there
is no doubt that the excess of our ex-
ports over our imports will be con-
tinued, and by the close of the year
the balance of trade in our favor will
be fully equal to the amount of our
bonds purchased for European
markets. Indeed, from this time
forth gold must flow hitherward in
exchange, and very soon the financial
pinch that we have so long felt will
be transferred to other regions. Our
general trade is already reviving
gradually, but it is believed perman-
emily, and unless there is some ex-
traordinary business revolution or
disaster, the good times are coming
on apace, and coming to stay"

CATTLE FOR EURoPE.-The shin.
ment of live cattle for Europe began
Thursday from this port, and marks
another step in the commerce of orr
city. 1t would probably be an inn
prOvement to ship the slaughtered
meat, as is so extensively done from
New York and from South America
to France, merely substituting the
Teller process of refrigeration for
the Bray plan with ice, as being
more certain to preserve the meat,
and cheaper, having been praeticed
for years in Europe. Or unequalled
oysters, canvas back ducks, soft
crabs and Bay fish could thus be sent
to England and command that mar
ket at splendid prices, as luxuries
otherwise unattainable,

The Cumberland Election.

Notwithstanding the deep Interest
taken on all sides, the election yes
terday passed off very quietly, and
we did not hear of a single instance
of disorder. The polls were kept
open, as provided by the new char
ter, from to Z, and the additional
hour proved a convenience to mum,
bers of working men. The returns
were considerably later coming in
than usual, though this was occa-
stoned in part by the large number
of split tickets.

The primary elections yesterday
for the Democratic City Convention
were about as such elections usually
are. The "striker" element abound
ed, and was heated and obstreperous,
ofcourse, but the policemen abounded
likewise, and there were not many
blows struck nor many gross outrages
upon the traditional "sanctity" of
the ballOt-boX. 1t was a curious
satire upon politics to see roughs out
of work and wages, magnificently
riding about town, for that occasion
only, in their coaches and hacks, in
search of voters, &c. But the people
generally looked on good humoredly
and with indifference. They come
to regard these contests as struggles
in which they have no real concern,
struggles for supremacy between the
"ins" and the "outs." This indif-
ference is fatal to the purity of our
politics, but, under all the circum-
stances, it is perfectly comprehen-
sible, and, absolutely inexcusable. -

Another Successful Surgical Operation.

Last Wednesday Dr. w. f. Fun
denberg of Cumberland, Md, assis
ted by DR.. Enfield of Clearville, this
county, operated upon Daniel Fetch
er, Esq, of Monroe township, for the
removal of a Cancer of the lower lip;
about nine months ago Mr.. Fletcher
noticed small sore on the lip, which
gradually increased in size in spite of
all treatment and lately it began to
spread, and soon involved a consid-
cradle portion of the lower lip. 1t
was necessary to remove with the
tumor the greater part of the lower
lip to insure no return of this terrible
disease. The operrtion was entirely
successful and heroically stood by
Mr.. f. without the use of any cher
ofOrm or ether.-Bedf0rd Inquirer.

"THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR" DE
NoUNCED FROM THE PULPIT
Quite fiutter was caused at Scranton,
Pa, yesterday among the members
of the new secret society by a sermon
preached at st. Vincent'S Catholic
Cathedral by Bishop O'Hara. He
said he was impelled to make special
mention of this society by the fact
that prominent members had written
letters in which they claimed that
the bishop and clergy favored the
organization. One of these letters lad
been forwarded to him, and he gave
the writer a scat hing rebuke for his
impertinence in claiming that he
favored a society that had never even
shown him its constitution or by
laws. He did not desire to interfere
with their political views, but merely
to caution them against the great
danger of secret societies. He prom.
ised to investigate the "Knights of
Labor" and show it up in its true
light at no distant date, and spicy
pastoral letter on the subject may be
expected shortly. The organization
is very powerful in this section. The
leading members are indignant at
any interference on the part Of the
clergy, but this will not prevent q
cutting condemnation should the
bishop prove to his satisfaction that
it is dangerous organization.

In the view of Governor Van
Zandt, Of Rhode Island, the Potter
investigating resolution is strategic
move by Tilden to secure renomi-
nation. To New York Herald in
terviewer the Governor said that he
considered the tactics of the demo-
cratic Congressman as revolutionary
and exceedingly detrimental to the
business interests of the country, and
he thought that the democratic party
could have selected no more cerCain
means to secure their overwhelming
defeat at the next Presidential cleo
ton. He did not believe that the
most intense partisan in the ranks of
the party could imagine for mo-
ment that they could affect the title
ofthe present incumbent ofthe White
House, whose election had been de-
clared by the highest tribunal in the
land. In answer to question as to
who he thought was fesponsible for
the reopening of the yeXed question,
he said that he was inclined to think
that the movement was the result of
pressure from certain prominent
western members of the party, who
by temperament and education had
revolutionary tendencies, and that
they were assisted by Mr.. Tilden and
his personal frie nds, who expect by
the present move to secure for him
the next democratic nomination for
the Presidency.

Speaker Randall knows how it is

resorted to fillibustering tactics to

a skill that bothered the majority a
good deal. Now when irate Demo-
Gratis rise and demand in thunder
tones why he doesn't put an end to
the fillibustering of the Republicans
and compel them to vote, he remarks

he dosen't know how the thing can
be done.
