organized strikes to come to an in
glorious end. 1t is on this saloon
pauper labor at home that capital
lists rely to help in their struggle,
and not the pauper labor abroad !;
and yet the saloon carrion, that
draws flies, also attracts this
foreign pauper labor, And as the
special protectors and defenders of
these saloons stand both of the
dominant parties with crossed
swords over their portals. The one
will do it by the granting of low
license or permitting the sale of
free whisky, whilst the other would
perpetuate them by taxation or
high license. If it be true, then,
that the saloon is the great enemy
of labor and, indeed, of capital also,
why should not both, but labor
especially, make earnest war upon
the saloonsH And if it be true that
the stronger labor is in numbers,
and the more thoroughly it is
organized, the more successful it
will be in its struggle with capital,
why should not labor make COM
mon cause with Prohibition, and
with their combined members and
increasing power, and better organi-
cations of both, throughout the
country, fight the saloons to the
death, and sweep the last, vestige
of them from the land?"

We clip the following from the
Oakland, Md, Rep16lscam:
1.-THE greatest indignation is felt
by the friends of Temperance in
Garrett County over the passage of
the bill providing for another vote
upon the Local Option law in that
county on the 9th of this month,
and it is bitterly denounced as a
bare-faced measure to defeat the
will of the people who voted the
liquor traffic out of five election
districts in the fall of 1884. x *
The whisky men think the vic
tory is almost theirs, but the Tenn
perance people are exasperated,
and declare they will contest every
inch at the polls and in the courts,
if necessary. They claim that the
county, which has had to close its
schools for lack of funds, cannot af-
ford the expense OF a special cleo
ton upon this question, SO recently
settled by the vote of the people. +"

Thomas, of Maryland, is the State
Lecturer for the Good Templars of
West Virginia. He has been out
but three months, and in that time
has organized thirty-nine new
lodges, in addition to building up
the existing ones. He is a fine
talker and earnest worker. - Weston

MR.. THOMAS AT ST. MARYs.
We believe every one was delight
ed with the lecture of Bro. Thomas.
On all sides we heard commenda-
tions; even those who are avowed
opponents of prohibition could not
but praise it as pure and master
ly speech, free from rant, cant and
fanaticism. For an hour and a half
he handled the subject of prohibit
ton in all it's rnany lights-moral,
physical, social, political and legal,
and his terse, spirited remarks on
each had most telling effect. His
words cut down the enemies argu-
ments like chain shot. His pres
ence here has been benefit to the
order, and the lessons he drew so
vlvidly will never be forgotten
Oracle.
MR.. THOMAS AT wELLsBURG.
The Temperance lecture by John
L. Thomas, State Lecturer of the
Independent Order of Good Tenn
plars of West Virginia, in the
Court House, Tuesday evening,
was mastery effect directed at
those most deeply interested
Knights of Labor and the working
men. With comprehensive
grasp of the throbbing labor prob
lem of to-day and a fine tribute to
the Knights that was literally APP
planded, he poured hot shot of solid
sense and reason upon them that
cannot but help tell in the coming
election. Mr.. Thomas, who is a
lawyer, of Cumberland, Md, be-
lieves in america for Am orleans"
and that the labor trou bles and the
burning liquor question will be
gradually settled in the next few
years by the combined efforts of
the laboring man and the young
men of the country. His state
ments and appeals on the local is
sues were remarkably correct and
far from lost on the laboring men
present, who not only gave them
attention, but.will vote them at the
ballot box. The true knight will
not stultify his Order by ignoring
its regulation on the liquor ques-
tion.- Welksburg Herald.

The Lady Of the White House.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Miss Cleveland is very much liked in
Washington. She is peculiar in many re-
spects, and has much of the air of the
schosl ma'am about her, with very little of
the society lady. She does some queer
things that cause remark. and is quite free
in her criticism of public men aud affairs,
Her dressing is not considered in good taste,
and her conversation is little too deep for
the butterflies, but everybody respects her
and believes her to be good woman, whose
mind is more upon the serious things of life
than its follies.

entered the shop the night before who had

thoroughly searched through and it was
found that about ten dollars worth of tools
had been taken. Chisels, mallets. tracers
and many other instruments used by stone

President Cleveland says he often wakes

by the fact that thousands of republicans

Gratis Officeiess. great many of his demo-
cratic friends doubtless experience the same
