BISHOP PURCELL DYING.-A Gin
cinnati dispatch to the New York
Times, says: Archbishop Purcell
is sinking rapidly. The warm wealth
Ell Ct last week was unfavorable, and
prepared tha way for an early dissolu-
ton. The priests of the diocese have
been officially given notice of his
low condition, and prayers will be
daily offered in all the churches for
the dying prelate. He is at the Ursu-
line Convent, in Brown county, sur
rounded by ministering Sisters and
half dozen priests. The Rev. DR.
Callahan, for many years his privat.
secretary and confdant, is with him,
having fastened home from Europe
at the first intilnation that his vener-
able superior was failing. The news
of the archbishop's low condition,
though not unexpected, caused real
sorrow. For more than forty years he
was beloved by his diocese to degree
which few have ever enjoyed. He
found the church. in his region weak
and made it mighty.

THE Hazelton Sentinel is of the
opinion that "in the Anthracite re-
gion the men and operators appear
to realize that their interests are
identical, and that the only certain
method of securing price and a de-
mand is to ourtai production when
ever it becomes necessary, and from
all the Indications that we observe in
our own immediate community as
regards the feelings and relations ex-
listing between the miners and opera
tore, We must say that as a rule more
harmonious state of affairs has never
been known to prevail in this region
than at present"

CUMBERLAND RAIL BLOCKADE
REVIEWED.
BY EX-CAP. SHINE.

BY EX-CAP. SHINE.
Your dictum's come at last, Willie,
Confirming our fears;
The blockade at the crossing, sire,
Needs fresh engineers
They've made our ditch fishing pond,
Oh sir, what a shame!
Our Mountain Queen is rudely stripped
OF her growing fame.
Has she lost all her beauty, sire,
Or proven untrue?
To the claims of Allegany,
Or even TO you?
Then why forsake her now, Willie,
In her hour of needp
Can the glitter of the yell W
Your virtues mislead?
Have you bent your knees to mammon
That corporate calf,
And silenccd all compunctions, sire,
In falrplay's behalf?
They want us to go under now,
To let them perch high,
Regardless of our legal claims
Which you now pass by
Let Cumberland get mourning weeds
Her lost hopes deplore,
From the Narrows to the Court House
Hang Grape on each door
Let her foundries and factories
Hang their cnsigns low,
Till those greedy complications
Accept fair show.
Should our boatmen bind screeds O Grape
On every mules head
To indicate our Governor
Is now really dead
Heroic knights of the towpath,
Abused now for years,
Prepare for the harvest fields, soon,
To ease your arrears.
Our mechanics must tramp again
To where they don't know
Since our rebel corporations
Compel them TO go.
Stern mortgaging and auction sales
Shall s0cn Grape our trade,
If that lucrc scraping party
Can hold the blockade.
Let Loyal journals heave sigh,
And print memories true,
OF fallen greatness now away
From our mountain view.
We are sadly bereft, Willie,
Thou seem dead and gone,
Prostrations are surrounding us
That's hard to condone
Oil whom can we blame now, Willie?
Solve this problem now,
Avert those dire presagings, sire,
Remember thy VOW.

Recognizing The fact that the relation
ship existing between the Counties o
Maryland and the City of Baltimore is
such that residents of the Counties have
occasion to visit the City frequently dur
ing the year; in consideration of these
facts and the liberal patronage extended
the "Maltby" in the past, deem II but
matter of justice thai some discrimination
should be made in their favor. l have
therefore &C included to
Reducethe Price of Board to 50 a day
feeling confident that the same will be fully
appreciated by them, and at the same time

their patronage. Assuring them that
nothing will be lett undone that can add

Portsmouth EnterpriseJ
The Marion Potriot and Herald (Rcad'
iuslet) gets off the following:
&" A Richmond Funder said In a CONVEX
sation at this place the other day that law
ought to he passed that would disqualliy
poor white men and negroes from voting.
That's eXacflJ what the Funders would do
il they bid the power"
The Herald does not say who the Rleh-
mono Funder is, but we all know who
Colonel Cameron is, and Colonel Cameron
said:
"Univcrsal negro suffrage is the bludgeon
with which Congress has armed newly.
manumitted slaves to brain the whites OF
the South, and we tell the Times that we
will use every means TO wrest IT from
them"
The Times asks If we will continue our
resistance TO it. We answer, " Yes, TO the
bitter end"
And again he wrote:
"Had The franchise been limited, had II
been prize 10 be obtained by INTELLIGENCE
and WORTH, had It been jewel too precious
TO BE CAST BEFORE SWINE, IT would nave
given US peace and prosperity for centu-
ries."
How is that for wishing to disfrancblse
Door white men and negroes. Colonel Cam
eron does not want the negroes DISTINGUISHED
now. He wants them TO vote to elect MN
Governor, but the above expressed his
views earlier-befOre he wanted them TO
vote for him for Governor.

This view is incorrect. They can be re-

The whole mailer involved resolves itself

partment can call them at any time, ana
stop the pay meut OF interest on them from
the date OF the call. 1t would seem the
most likely that the extended SIS, when the
time comes, will be the bonds to be re-
deemed to relieve the money market. The
surplus revenues, under the policy OF Sec
retary Sherman, we're maintained at figures
between 1926, 100000 aud S14QpOO,OOO. SO
far this has been the practice OF the present

The Constitution does not require, ~
many persons seem 10 suppose, that voter
shall pay a tax OF one dollar year as a. pre-
requisite to voting. That instrument says
only that he must have paid tie clpitation
tax required By ldo." The law fixes 1t at
one dollar. The law can fix it at one cent.
The Legislature has foil control Of the
matter, the Governor asserting, except that
the amount cannot exceed one dollar.
What waste OF time, therefore, for a
constitutional amendment to be submitted
to the voters, proposing to change the con-
stilutional provision on the subject OF the

"uv action on The part OF Congress, excep'
IN the case OF the death, resignation, re-

and Vice President"
This singular mistake grows out OF a con-
fusion Of ideas. The latter clause oil tne
paragraph quoted aboye.giyes congress Tue
mower TO say who shall act as President
when both the President and the VICE
President are disabled. But that fact does
not deprive Congress Of lis power 10 con-
s,rue and fashion into laws other provisions
