Mr.. L. V. Powderly has written q
long letter regarding the c. Is. d Q.
strike, endeavorlng to justify the
strikers. He censures very severely
the action of the brotherhood OF en-
gineers, because that brotherhood
furnished men to run trains ON the
striking system. He claims that the
strike is simply struggle for right
and should not be interfered with
by any organization OF working men
Whatever assumed grounds there
may be for strikes, whatever compll'
Gated causes may be claimed as pre-.
cipitating them, they will never
right the troubles existing between
employers and employees. Some 9th

A Sound Mind IN q Sound Body.

Science and philosophy have ex
hausted themselves in profound
treatises to determine the just rela
ton between mind and matter, be.
tween body and soul, how to pre-
serve the equilibrium between the
two, and how to restore 1t when it is
lost by sickness of the body. This
great problem has successfully been
solved by gentleman in North Car
DINA, by experience on himself,
proving that an ounce of practica
experience is worth several pounds
of scientific or philosophical theor
izlng. Mr.. Hamlin is one of the best

you with some cheap imitation OF

sure you get the genuine. Because
he can make more profit he may tell
you he has something just as good,

SINCE the senate has appointed a
committee to investigate the various
trusts" of the country, these combi-
nations of iniquity have been
brought to view in very bad light.
Very few people had any correct
idea of what the trusts mean or what
those forming the trusts propose to
perpetrate. They propose, in the
first place, to do away with all com
petition, monopolize the business
engaged in, and fix the prices, both
of the raw material and of the prod
ucts. By such procedure the
producer and consumer will suffer.
A. L. Coolidge, the father of the
rubber trust, is reported as saying;
Competition is the life Of trade
till it becomes the death of trade,
when competition becomes injurious,
combined is an unmixed benefit"
One can easily understand the spirit
Of the principle prompting such q
statement. Such a course tends to
raralyze enterprise. The sugar
trust has already advanced the price
of sugar from II to q cents per
pound. When we consider that the
annual consumption of sugar in the
United States is so pounds per CAPT
ia, we can begin to imagine the pro-
portion of the trust fraud. Already
many poor people cannot afford SUI
gar for their coffee. and this prodlg-
ious fraud, If let alone, will rapidly
reduce that number. The Chicago
Gas Trust Company, At one stroke,
put up the price of gas from $L25
per thousand, to $3.50 per thousand.
This will give an idea of the fraudu-
lent measures in vogue by the trust
companies. They can control the
price Of anything on which they
combine. 1t is to be hoped that
congress will utterly demoIsh every
one of them, and save the people
from such abusing schemes.

March April May

Are the months in which to purify
the blood, as the system is now
most susceptible to benefit from
medicine. Hence now is the time to
take Hoods Sarsaprills, a medicine
peculiarly adapted for the purpose,
possessing peculiar curative powers.
1t expels every impurlty from the
blood, ard also gives it vitality and
richness. 1t creates an appetite,
tones the digestion, lnvigorates the
liver, and gives new life and energy
to every function of the body. The
testimony of thousands, as to the
great benefit derived from Hood s
Sarsaparilla, should convince every
body that it is peculiarly the best
blood purifier and spring medicine.

IT now seems certain that We are
to have canning factory. At a
meeting of our leading business
men last Monday night a committee
was appointed to ascertain the feas
ibility of the project, and to visit
other canning factories and learn the
cost, the necessary buildings, and
steps to be taken in order to begin
the work. We understand that q
stock company will be formed and
the iniative steps taken at once.
This will be valuable acquisition
to the town, as it will employ mum
Der of men, and will call for a facto.
ry to manufacture cans. 1t wall also
be an Industry to develop the coun
try around. The Clarksville Can
ming Company propose to enter into
contracts with farmers to pay Zoe
per bushel for tomatoes, beans 35c
per bushel, peas and green corn Acc
per bushel. 1t is estimated that one
acre of average fertile soil will yield
from 200 to 800 bushels of tomatoes,
from 100 to $50 bushels of peas, and
from $50 to 200 bushels OF beans
This will give an idea Of the good We
expect TO result TO the town and
country from a canning factory. We
bid the project God speed.

Exhibitions.


Correspondence OF the DEMOCRAT.
This is a time of school exhibit
tions, and the reporter knows 20 bet
ter than TO jot down few items con
corning them. II has been my good
fortune TO attend three quite recent
ly, and no doubt, those connected
with them would be pleased to see
some account OF them in the DEMO
Graf.
Prof. Irwin closed his writing
school at Gravelly Hill on the 18th
INST. with an exhibition. The pu-
pills showed considerable improve
ment in the art, and their public ex
animation exhibited very credita
BILE knowledge of it's theory. The
Prof. had provided to relieve the
mononony, = sprinkle of musical and
literary exercises. Mr.. Brashear
furnished an organ, and Prof. NAL
lett, of Caglesville, furnished his son
and daughter to lead the music,
which was well done. Miss Brash-
ear read an interesting essay on
woman" and Prof. Mallett closed
with q speech on Education" in
which he said the "Blair Education
al Bill" or some other such bill will
be passed by Congress in the next
three years, and that "Woman Suf
frage" was coming, and we need not
cut up about 1t. From the way that
Clerk Potts issues marriage license
it don't seem that the boys fear
its rapid approach. The exhibition
closed pleasantly, and The people
seem TO think that Prof. Irwin knows
how to teach the very useful and l
might say necessary art of chirogra-
ply.
On the 18th inst. Prof. Harkey's
school at Gum Log closed. The ex-
hibition was altogether the reciting
of dialogues, declarations, etc, no
examination. There we're several dial
ogues and recitations which were
reasonably we'll rendered. Two orig
inal essays were read, one on
"Words," by Miss Nora Tucker, and
one on What a Woman Is expected
TO Do" by Miss Lorena Edwards.
All the exercises were well received
by the audience. frequently the
risible character OF the performance
brought the uproarous laughter from
the delighted spectators.
The last Of the three exhibitions
was Prof. Frye's at Dover The Prof.
was assisted in his school by Miss
Marie Brown. This exhibition was
on the oath inst. The entertain
ment consisted ofarecitations. cha
rades, music, etc. The performance
was very credltable to both the
teachers, and the pupils. In add
ton to the school organ and vocal
music, the Silver Cornet Band rem
dercd some excellent pieces.
Prof. Frye had public examina
ton OF the students IN their studies
on Friday, which was attended by q
few of the citizens. The ease and
readiness with which the students
did the work required of them show.

AT recent grand army conven-
tion in Wisconsin committee re.
ported in favor of the Blair bill aud
denounced the histories now used in
some of the southern schools. The
committees report declared that at
Is time to cease toying with treason
for policy's sake" and demanded his
tories that would educate our child
rem in the spirit OF loyalty and teach
them that secession was treason.
The report was adopted amidst
great enthusiasm. If it is the de
sign of any set of republican parti-
Fans to force the public schools of the
south to teach our children that
their fathers were traitors there will
be lively racket. The people of
this region are going to run their
own schools and teach their own
children in their own way. Any
other course would not be worthy
of American freemen.-Atlants Con-
stitution.
This is the construction placed
upon the Blair bill by the republ-
cans. This is the trend of the bill
according to their Interpretation and
their calculation as to the practical
workings Of the measure. They ex.
pect it to manipulate and dominate
our public school system so as to
have our children taught that their
fathers practiced treason in votingfor
and acquiescing in secession. They
want to teach children that their
fathers are traitors, that Lamar, now
on the supreme bench, is vile trait
or; that Attorney General Garland
is traitor. They want to suppant
democratic principles with false
teaching. They want to make re-
publicans of all our children so that
they can rule this nation to suit
themselves. This is the tendency Of
the Blair bill, and yet democrats and
southern people whose every interest
is identified with the south advocate
its passage.

the Examiners visit to each school
district in the county is to personal.
ly call attention to an alarming evil,
the want of uniformity Of text
books in our schools. The present
system is an outrage. II a pupil at
tends school In one district one term
using q certain set OF text books,
and if be should, the next term, go
to another district, he is necessltat
ed to buy a new set of books. BY
the time he becomes acquainted
with the plans aud methods Of the
new books, another teacher is EN-.
ployed, and hence new set of books
must be bought. By the time the
pupil is eighteen years old suffic-
lent amount of money will have been
expended for books to carry him
through a college course, and he will
still be without an education. Be
sides this it is an outrage on the
merchants who undertake TO supply
school books. One of our merchants
has now, dead on his shelves, $3.50
worth of books, that have been left
there by the frequent changes OF
text books. 1t is to be hoped that
Prof. Baird will awaken such an in
terest on this subject that there will
not be another change in ten years.

The following good advice Is given
by the Warren News, and we present
it to our readers with the hope that
they will give heed to the sugges-
tions offered:
1t would be good idea for every
farmer to keep an expense account
during the year, just AS business
men do, and see exactly what he has
spent at the end of the year. BY
this means, you will be enabled to
see how you spend your money you
will see perhaps where you have
spent several dollars that you might
have kept, and thus be enabled to
avoid the same thing next year. AL
SO keep an account of your products
beth of the field and your fiocks. See
just how much you have produced
and just what you have spent.
