Powdcrly's Great Conspiracy.

Mr.. Powderly has furnished d vim
dicatlon of the New York Central rail
way for its course in the recent strike
by putting in evidence before the State
Board of Arbitration copies of re-
markable correspondence between
himself and Lee, the Knight, who was
the local leader of the strike. Why he
should reveal this correspondence is u
mystery, for it convicts both himself
and Lee of conspiring secretly to or
ganize the employees of the Central
railway company against the manage
ment in order to make it possible to
''tie up" not merely that road. but all
other railways in the country, either
in 1892. the Presidential election year,
or 1893, the year of the proposed
Worlds Fair. Incidentally, Powder
ly's letters reveal condition of affairs
on the Reading road previous to the
last strike there which vindicates that
company also for the course it took to
crush out the ''noble and holy order"
from among its employees. In fact,
the correspondence shows Powderly to
be perniclous meddler in the affairs
of railway companies, devoting all his
energies to encouraging the men to be
false to their employers, and conse-
quently unworthy of trust and unfit for
employment in any position of respon-
slbility.-New York Evening Post.

work for the eleventh census. There,

arbitration fOllOWs-sO-called LEGAL

Arbitration fOllows-so-called legal
arbitration. But who will arbitrate7
In fact, who will choose the arbitrator
The office-boys and Mr.. Richmond.
But neither can select the odd man.
The so-called compulsory feature be-
gins to play now and the State elects
the referee. Then the Board-that is,
the State-decides that Mr.. Richmond
is liar and must reinstate the boy.
Now, then, where is that vital por-
ton of the arbitration law which, like u
locomotive, would run over the JOUR-
NAL-the indispensable law to make Mr..
Richmond take back into his employ
ment one whom he says he oiunot hare ?
If Mr.. Richmond can find none, where
is the Legislature that will pass one,
and the Court that will sustain it
Will it run over Mr.. Richmond ?
Or, will the latter, throwing himself
upon his reserved rights, which are
intrayersible by courts and juries, de-
cline to be run over7 And. will we
have a real illustration of that old
problem of an irresistible force in full
tilt against an immovable body7
We have carried this analogy far
enough to show conclusively that Mr..
Richmond's claims, moral and legal,
are easily reducible to absurdity. We
think, too, and this without the egotism
of julius Caesar, or the banter of the
modern bruiser, that the JOURNAL is
not PHARMACIES, nor its columns
another Zela.
Here we rest-on the very rock of
perfect individual liberty, few
privileges only limited, not dominated
by law. These find play in all our
relations in life, restrained only from
invasion of the self-same immunities
belonging to others. We may ask
ad H6itum for concessions, but we can
not extort them by any sort of force.
We may seek all we please to have
men think and act as we think they
should, but God Himself cannot con-
vert man against his will.

Funny Admissions.

A prominent Councilman is report
ed to have explained the undue mag
nitude of the 15-cent levy as due to
the probability that "some people
will not pay it," This, of course,
would let the burden fall solely on
those who would pay.
Without designing it, our Council
man gave frstrate reason why no
body should pay.
Apropos the JOURNALS remark that
Mr.. Doub's accession to the Council
would develop a solution of the float
ing debt problem the same Council
man announced that "the people of
Frostburg never would know the
amount of their transient debit
If the people are content with that
state of affairs they are not what we
take them to be. 1t is serious piece
of business that they should be in
debt in sum that is not only indefi-
mite, but not observation-disclosures even
by the man who, of all men in our
community, should be qualified to de-
termine the amount of the drafts that
have been issued and which have never
been returned as paid.
1t is true, there are twenty years of
business to 60 over, but no man who
takes the Office of Councilman should
shirk his duty to the people by de-
clining to audit and scrutinize every
draft that has been issued and return
ed, and ascertain the whereabouts of
each one that is out.
If he is incapable of thus represent
ing the people and taking care of
their interests in the premises, he
should resign.
For it will be a bowling farce to is
sue another annual report which be-
gins where the last one left off.

GENERAL NEWS.
The Big Railroad Plot.

The investigation of the causes of
the recent strike on the Central has
been closed abruptly in this city after
IL second days hearing. The tes-
timony of the railway officials was
wholly in accord with Mr.. Webb's
general statement that men had been
discharged for cause and not in con
sequence of their connection with the
Knights of Labor. Perhaps the most
important point in the company's de-
fence yesterday was Mr.. Toucey's
version of the interview with Lee,
Master Workman of the District
Assembly, upon which the allegations
of insolence and threats are based.
The effect of the testimony iustfies the
action of the company III refusing to
compromise with the strikers. What

eyer may have been the motives for
the introduction of the Correspondence
between Powderly and Lee, the text
shows that conspiracy was forming
for a general uprising against
the principal railways of the Union
either in the Presidential year
or during the season of the Worlds
Fair. The correspondence was APP
parently brought out in order to re-
establish Powderly's impaired ascend
ancy as organizer and leader. 1t is a
timely revelation which will deprive
the Knights of public sympathy and
warn the country against the evils of
reckless leadership. The Central and
the other great trunk lines could well
have afforded to contribute thousands
OF dollars to the working fund of the
Knights for the sake of securing
the publication of that amazing cor
respondence.- New York Tribune.

An Amazing Error,

William Mcmahon McKaig was
nominated by the democrats at Hagers-
town Thursday for Congress.
Abroad he is thought to be strong at
home.
But if there is man in Maryland
who can state one valid reason why
the great coal interests of this county
should support him we would like to
hear it.
He is an avowed tariff reformer in a
community whose welfare is depend
ent wholly on protection, and as such
is an antagonist directly and immedi-
ately of both operators and miners.
In the Senate of Maryland he was a
partisan of dangerous class legislation,
at the behest of spurious labor clan,
and as such lost the countenance of
those who owned the coal and what
ever he enjoyed of the esteem of the
true laboring element.
If elected, therefore, he must work
against the interests of his house, or
betray those abroad on whose favor he
rides into power.
Whatever the Representatives of the
democratic party were thinking about
at this critical juncture in McComas'
political career is past comprehension.
They have made q stunning mis-
take.
And much DIS they may hate the
"Force Bill" they have opened wide
the door for its overpowering endorse
ment by the people of this district.

Belated InQuests.

The New York Central railroad
strike, over several weeks ago, was
this week "declared off,"
1t takes the Knights of Labor long
time to find out that corpse is dead.
But Mr.. Richmond's argument will
doubtless be regarded by and by as
ready for the embalmer.

The Levy Should be Recalled,

The dissatisfaction over the 15-cent
levy to meet interest on the water
bonds is very great-so much so that
the Council should get move on il
that reaches backward.
The report that the surplus is need.
ed for other than water purposes has
not helped matters either.
Hence, the people are watching the

The Irish ELECTION.

DUBLIN, Dec. Timothy Harring-
ton arrived last night in Cork, in com
pany with the mayor of that city. The
Parnellites had intended to greet him
when he landed from the Aurania in
Queenstown, and had arranged for a
torchlight procession. They missed being
present when the steamer arrived, but
held meeting on the quay soon after,
and were very demonstrative, cheering
for Parnen and Harrington, and groan-
ing for Healy and other McCarthyites.
The anti-Parnellites gathered, mean
while, and charged upon the Parnellites.
There was an ugly scrimmage, which re.
suited in favor of the attacking party.
The torches of the Harrington admirers
were thrown into the water and manv
persons were hurt. Mr.. Harrington
says the majority of the Irish in Amer
lea are supporters of Parnell, althou. h
many newspapers and politicians oppose
him. Mr.. Harrington does not believe
that Mr.. Parnell will retire, even if the
election goes against Kim.

Some Complexion rints.

The cold winds of autumn make the

water and brandy is recommended for
roughness caused by walking or driving
in the wind. Another skin tonic is al
cohol and water. The white of an egg
beaten well, five grams of alum in
five grams of sweet almond oil, is said
to be sure remedy for wrinkles. One
teaspoonful of carbolic acid in pint of
rose water is an excellent remedy for
pimples. Strong tea viii darken the
eyelashes, we are told, while sage tea
makes the hair dark, and cream made by
a pint of glycerine and six ounces of
lime water will, when rubbed thor
oughly into the hair. make it glossy and
