disorder by departure from the natural
order in which men and nations should
exist.
We acknowledge that the integrity Of
all things depends upon order.
1t Is maxim that 'order is the
first law" In the realm of nature, where
the hand and voice cannot reach, we
find universal order.
We find man designed to live by the
laws of order.
All the conduct of man, therefore,
which requires the intervention of law,
should be regulated by laws based on
the design of nature.
The design of nature is justice. How
shall nations accomplish the design OF
securing Justice to men if they abandon
the laws OF natural order and attempt to
give the force of law to natural disorder,
perverson and wrong2
That which was created for all cannot
be appropriated by any class.
Labor should be entitled to what it
produces. No one should be required to
give a portion of his labor to another,
for ones labor is his life, and to take
portion of ones lifetime is to reduce him
to slavery.
Strange as it may seem to us now,
slavery, as a cancer, was permitted to
remain under the very declaration of
independence which declared liberty
natural right. This proves that no ques-
ton is ever settled until it is settled
right; and until we have made and en-
forced laws in this land which prevent
the few from absorbing the fruit of the
labor of the many we shall not have
abolished slavery in these United States
according to the true spirit of the char.
ter of our liberties.

eyes, we may congratulate ourselves
that the cruel war is nearly to close
1t has cost a vast amount of treasure and
blood. The best blood of the flower of
American youth has been freely offered
upon our country s. altar that the nation
might live. 1t has been indeed trying

near future crisis approaching that
unnerves me, and causes me to tremble
for the safety Of our country.
CAS- result of the war corporations
have been enthroned, and an era of
corruption in high places will follow,
and the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign by
working upon the prejudices Of the
paopla until all wealth ia apprppatad

troyed.
Il feel at this moment more anxiety
for the safety of my country than ever
before, even in the midst of the war.

spared the necessity for this train of
argument, but the hour forsseen by
Lincoln is upon us.
Let us not deceive ourselves, and let
us be equal to the occasion.

INTERNATIONAL LABOR CON-
GRESS.

The following call for an International
Labor Congress, to be held at Chicago
simultaneously with the World Fair in
1893, has been issued by Mr. Gompers.
To the acage,,corkers of all Countries:
CoMRADEs-Recognizing the identity
of interests of the wage-workers of the
world, the great bond of interest and
sympathy which should prevail in the
hearts and minds of all toilers, and mas
much as the Government of the United
States of America has decided to hold
an international Exhibition lin the City
of Chicago in 1893, in celebration of the
400th anniv ersary of the discovery of
America. and being DESTROYS of further
cementing the friendly feeling and the
necessary unity of action and concentra-
tion of thought for an amelioration in
the condition and final emancipation of
the toillng masses, take pleasure in
notifying you that an International La
Dor Congress will be held in the City
of Chicago during the time of the Exhi
bition.
The object in holding the Convention
is to formulate and discuss the very
many questions affecting our interests
and to give greater impetus to the
cause of progress and civilization, and
to make known to the world by our UNI
alterable determination, that we insist
upon being larger sharers in the worlds
progress.
We extend to you kind and fraternal
invitation to attend this International
Labor Congress and we appeal to you to
hold no other International Labor Con-
gress in any other country during 1893.
1t is our intention to have the Con-
gress in position to discuss the ques-
ton Of labor from broad and liberal
standpoint, embracing as wide scope
of economic thought as the world itself.
A temporary Executive Committee,
consisting of two from each country and
five from America, will be appointed in
short time to act until conventions are
held.
When each National Industrial Con-
gress shall meet, we ask them to appoint
committee of two to act as a Perman.
ent Executive Committee on behalf of
their country. In the United States
each National Trade or Labor Union is
requested to appoint one at their respec-
tive conventions, or, if conventions are
not held in time, the Executive Officers
Gf they have the power are requested to
appoint their delegate.
Permit me to assure the organized
workingmen of the world that every
thing will be done within our power to
make their stay in America both plea
SAINT and interesting, and our Congress
a credit to the great cause we have the
honor to represent.
The details of arrangements will be
communicated to you from time to
time.
Address all communications to
Yours fraternally,
SAM GoMPERs, President.
By order of the American Federation
of Labor, 81 Clinton Place, New York
City.
There is, we must say, general inn
preston, not only that this call is pre-
mature, but that it is lacking in the
authority which a convention, or con-
ference, of the labor interests of the
country, regardless of any particular
organization, could alone have conferred

The Le3Ger last week double-leaded its i'm
porous demand for the removal of the c. and
=, depot uptown, and forthwith Mr.. Jandurf
italicized it by motion and speech in the
Town Council.
Possibly but for one thing new depot
might have already graced with its architect
ural beauty a business square somewhere on
Main street, and the iron horse might now be
hauling passengers and freight to some CEN
tral point.
What is it
The town, which has no money for bring
ing transit to our doors, spent over $500 last
year on the depot hill road to make the rail
road company believe that notwithstanding
its surveys, we did not think it was in ear
nest that we did not expect it to build into
town. Practically we paid the company that
sum to stay where it is 'under the town.
No wonder the surveys amounted to moth
ing. 1t would have been remarkable had it
taken us at our word when we said one thing
and did another.

Political Luck.

For sample of real downright luck look
at the Gen Hon. William Mcmahon Mckaig
He is democratic kicker who was never
beaten.
He carried Cumberland the other day by
nearly 800 maiority-ths very same Cumber-
land that he won CD in the tombstone and
epitaph election for another democrat by 81.
The general is lucky in always being pitted
against antagonists who are either too poor
or too rich, or handicapped in some unlor-
tllnate manner, popularity considered.
He is lucky in not being put up when his
own political tombstone hobs up serenely.
Had he been the Senatorial nominee last fall
he would have been showed under poor
Reynolds vote, and then some.
Had he been the nominee in lSSl-the
marble memorial occasion, he would have
been beaten by over thousand.
He is lucky in that his kicks against
political Providence are never resented by
those injured by his obituary predictions.
We understand now that the Generals last
triumph is construed as attording him more
than Bonapartist prestige; that he is regarded
as good liVe-hickory timber for Congress,
and so on.
The JOURNAL therefore confidently expects
him to be the democratic nominee next
fall, and it warns the republican party right
here and now that unless this new Napoleon
sooner or later meets his Waterloo he will be
President of the United States.

Fire.

When w. A. Somerville mining boss
Of Allegany mine, returned from his
work Wednesday he found his stable
gone and in its stead mass of incin-
Grated wood and an embryonic ashplle.
The alarm was sounded about II
o'clock, forenoon, and soon a mass of
people were on the spot. The ever
alert fire department, few in number,
however, were also prompt. Two de-
tacllments OF hose, one fully 500 feet
long, were attached to plugs, and at
once two streams from opposite sides
began to play with great effect upon
the flames. The chief service render
ed by the department, however, was
in the saving of postmaster Walkers
stable from the fire. Indeed, small
stable on the Somerville lot, not over
eight feet from the fire, was saved from
burning. Mr.. Somerville's loss is
about 500. The friends first on the
ground succeeded IN saving the car
rlage and harness. How the fire
originated is subject of speculation,
but it was doubtless the result of some
oversight.

"All Quiet on the Potomac. -

The Cumberland Times surprised every body
the other day by reporting some sort Of Il
teachers meeting as Il Star Chamber Ses.
SION" and the people are wondering what
our mild-eyed Examiner had to do in the
matter of making the symposium SO extra,
exclusive.
1t seems to be understood that the object OF
the affair was to get up an endorsement OF
State Examiner Newell for disappointment
and rush it into headquarters just as though

But as Newell could not get over twenty

sented by ballot entirely too Australian.

\ few weeks ago the Piedmont HrJd
chided the Baltimore critic for paying at
tention to the mutterings of the JOURNAL"
and, further, that
THE JOURNAL claims that the Knights of
Labor are lot of agitators and kickers, but
the JOURNAL is the greatest agitator and kick.
er in this region. He kicks about everybody
and everything, but nobody hereabouts pays
any attention to him. He kicked against the
election of Cunningham, Mullen and others
to the legislature but they We're elected all the
same. He kicked against disappointment of
Mr.. Jameson, one of WeSernport's best clti-
zens, as school commissioner but he was APP
pointed all the same, He kicked against the
canal bill passing the legislature, but it passed
just the same.
All that would be quite significant if true.
But there is some lmwritten history concern
ing the Cunningham Mullen combination
that the inexperienced Hcrold has probably
not yet heard read in the assembly
Then this paper did not oppose Mr.. James
sons appointment. 1t did not enjoy the
chance. Mr.. McCullohs resignation and
Mr., Jamesson's appointment came out in the
same tra.judicial breath.
As to the canal bill. Perhaps the Heruld,
with all its West Virginia predispositions,
sees some virtue, honesty and honor in the
scheme to rob the people of Maryland of
millions of dollars. If docs not, it should
apply to Schonfarber for pointers. Between
the two they may yet prevent the noble
chested Knights of Labor of West Virginia
from destroying the big-headed brethren IN
Maryland.
When regarded as a kicker the JOURNAL
is honored, perhaps beyond its merit, partic
ularly when its cenSors are competent author
tiles upon that subject. Moses, Joshua, st.
Paul, Nathaniel Bacon Washington, Carroll,
Henry, the Adamses, Jefferson, Hancock,
Franklin, etc. We're kickers, and in their day
and generation the tories, as now, denounced
as worse than vain their constant protest
against all autocratic invasions of the pco-
PIES rights. But the good seed of liberty
was thus sown and in its ripening harvests
the millions are still blessed.
The gospel itself is one long, unintcrmitting
kick against the dominion of wrong, and
every good preacher and priest is a soldier
commissioned and armed to break down the
citades of evil. And the promise is faithful
and true-that the kickers shall some day
far off perhaps, overcome the minions of
iniquity.
This will wipe out the chivalry of labor.
And there will be no knight there.

y Definition.

Areccnt press dispatch reports the situation
as follows
There are indications of war between the
Knights of Labor and its rival, the American
Federation of Labor. There is an lmdcrcur-
rent of bad feeling among the leaders of both,
due very largely to the Fedcration's S-hour
movement, and to examinations and rccrim-
nations that have grown out of it.
And it is even worse when viewed from the
inside as this paper is crcdiby informed that
the Noble Order of North America is mad
enough to masticate and digest the ignoble
federation of all the continent. The latter
feels in no better mood, and the day is not
far distant apparently when each will be
gorging itself with hash and blood-puddng

Thursday, about noon, Harrison
Warner, the latest wheel barrow tray
eler, arrived in town and put up at
Aspinalls National Hotel. He left
McConnellsville, Morgan county,
Ohio, April n, but did not make his

ton is Baltimore, where he has broth
ers, and an aunt who celebrated her
lO2d birthday, April 9th, last. Mr..
Warmers average days travel is to
10 miles. His wheel-barrow is lightly
built of light wood, iron work in pro-
portion. The axle runs in journals
formed by underloop of springs under
and attached to handle bars, which
saves the old gentleman from Jars.
The box carries his baggage, which is
adjusted to eight marching order"
The vehicle is painted red, upon the
sides of which, in gold letters, appears
the following stencil inscription:

Mr.. Warmers objects in making the
tour in this novel way are to see his
relatives and do something that no
man Of his age has ever done, or likely
eyer will do. He may return this way

HOW We Differ

The Supreme Court of Missouri has decided
that man must be taxpayer before he can
be public school director.
Not so in Maryland. Here he must be more
than taxpayer-a capitalist, merchant or
banker, and what is most essential, he must
have absolutely no personal concern in the
efficiency and success of public education.
He must be childless, or otherwise non
patron, or an old man in his dotage.
