These extracts are submitted to
our school authorities in confirma-
ton of the justice of the JOURNALS
structures, and with the earnest hope
that the popular expectation of an
earnest effort to improve the per-
sOnelle and mOrale of our schools may
be realized, and that right early.
In our issue of June % the Times
was challenged to
Show the JOURNAL a line it has published
which Mr.. McCulloh can take as wholly re-
flecting upon himself We will not say
''persecuting," but as even rejecting wholly
upon him? If the Times will, then we ~iH
pro"e something, and by witnesses of i'm
maculate credibility.
The Times has never produced such
a line, nor attempted to do so. Still
it goes on in this style:
1t seems that the JOURNAL thinks the rest
of mankind without memory. 1t denies in
its last issue any attacks upon Mr.. McCulloh,
any allusion to an arrangement between Mr.
McCulloh and the trustees to bring about Mr..
Purnel1s appointment. 1t was on this very
ground that we first attacked the JOURNALS $
position. We said that unless the JOURNAL
could produce proofs of such collusion, we
would not believe its charges against Mr.. Nc
Culloh.
To aid the Times IN furnishing its
proof that the JOURNAL ever charged
collusion between Mr.. McCulloh and
the trustees we will furnish its editor
or any member of his staff a complete
file of the JOURNAL covering every
issue from May II, the beginning of
the trouble, to this time,
We will add that we are anxious for
the Times to take this offer. 1t will
enable us TO show that some of "the
rest of mankind are without memory
ID that William r. Percy dill assert
the suspicion complained of to Mr..
McCulloh's face in the presence of the
School Board (2) that the Times never
had the impudence nor the insoIence
nor any higher form of courage to
take Mr.. Percy to task for making
inquiries assuming completely.
Again:
Now if the JOURNAL threatens us with
proofs in reply to our denial of its charges rs.
Mr.. McCuIloh and others, does not the Jour
NAL admit that it had made the charges which
required the proofs?
Not bit of it-because the article
from which the Times quotes was Il
running commentary upon matters in
general contained IN one of the Times
distorted editorials. 1t had no more
reference to the trustees action than
to any other incident of school mis-
management. Hence, We do not, will
not and cannot admit by implication,
indirection, or otherwise in .tace Of tie
'proof' of a charge we never made.
How could we when everybody con
cerned in transaction of that nature
would be compelled to be innocent?
But for the comfort of all concern
ed we will say the implied assertion of
William R. Percy's suspicion has gone
on unassailed, unrefuted, and our iudg
ment is that nine-tenths of the people
join in Mr. Percy's conviction.
the Times believes or disbeieves.
X. OF l.. General Master Workman
Powderly has prepared letter for
for this weeks Journal Of United
LaJOr, in which he calls attention
to an alleged corner" in coffee,
and advises abstention from the use of
that article until the corner" is
broken. Among other injunctions are
the following:
Boycott coffee-do not buy one ounce of it
until this reign of plunder Is at an end. Go
to your grocer and tell him not to invest in a
pound of it, and ask him to watch for the
turn of the tide in New York. To do as
suggest will work no injustice to the man
from whom you buy your groceries. Do not
buy coffee, but buy something else in its
stead, and when you do invest in coffee again
have the article you invest in analyzed to see
If it has not been tampered with and aduter-
ated, and then trace the adulteration until
you find it, and you may be sure you will
find it, and you may be sure you will trace
it to the action taken in the Coffee Exchange
So far as coffee reaches the above is
good plan.
AS a rule, however, it cannot be
carried very far beyond coffee.
There has been corner in beef and
other meats for years, but the self
denial required to break it would try
a christian appetite to the last degree
of fortitude.
AS said, Powderly's plan is efficient
touching everything like coffee and
its correlatives, especially everything
this side of those articles, including
particularly those newspapers whom
the Noble Order can never forgive for
once befriending it.
JONES is nothing if not methodical. Hav-
