Mr.. EDITOR: In his speech at
Greenwood Gen. Gordon used some
peculiar wordss will you please tell
me what he meant by black jack i'll
the following extract from his
speech:
"Wben your heroes returnedIag-
ged and battle SCARED, up to their
necks in ruin and destruction, they
did not then divide upon minor
and contemplate issues. They
stood by Carolina when she was
needy, they never deserted her.
They stood in the glorious resur-
rectlon ready to crown her. But
will you blot out the sun and moon
that lesser lights may shine? Will
you clip the wings of the mighty
eagle and pinion him in order that
the bats and owls may soar aloft?
Are you going to pin down the
mighty oaks and tall cedars of
Lebanon that the black jack may
,thrive?"
SUBSCRIBER,
1t is claimed that by black jack
the General meant niger, and if
heroes up to their necks in both
sruin and destruction" can wade
out and become @eagles," and then
again, in a pair of minutes, turn
into smighty oaks and cedars of
Lebanon" to:say nothing of their
being both the sun and the moon,''
we do not see butthat. black jack

The result of the analysis of 100 specimens of

professor in Johns Hopkins University has had the
effect of aro9sing milk consumers In that city to
sense Of their danger.
Probably every other city in the country Is as
badly OF as Baltimore.
III Is necessary, therefore, that mothers should
not place too much reliance upon an exclusive
mix diet for their children.

Chicago.
new railroad labor organization, to en-
brace every branch of service from the loco
motive engineer to the fagman at grade cross
ingT, was started Tuesday evening at q meeting
held in Uliich's Hall, Chicago The main
cause Of the movement WAS the failure of. all
individual railroad organizations to accomplish
their aims IN the shape OF protection OF MEM
berf in their struggles against railroad COM
panies.
The new organization will in the future be
known as the American Railway Union. and
the design Is to take The control Of the des-
TIMES OF railroad workmen on. of the hands of
the old leaders and place them in a general
organization in which there will be no distinc-
ton between the different classes of workmen
It. w. Howard. vice president of the new or
ganiZnt1on. called the meeting to order. De-
spite the stormy weather a large ga therinS OF
railroad men crowded the hall, and the proceed
ings were marked by much enthusiasm The
principal speakers were Eugene V. Debbs
president OF the new organization; James A.
Hogan. II prominent member of the old organ
izaion on the Union Pacific system; L. W.
Rogers, editor Of the Age of Labor, and John
Cuthbertson. chairman OF the organization of
railway teleSrnphcrs. The trend OF the re-
marks Of oil the speakers was that individual
organization OF railroad workmen avuiled
naught, and frequent filings were INDUCED in
at the expense Of Chief Arthur and the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers.
The convention adjourned after business
like session.

OPPOSED TO THE SHERMAN LAW.
Ex-senator Edmunds Says That 1t Was a
Compromise.

Compromise.
Ex-senator George F. Edmunds, in m inter-
view in New York. said, in regard to the Sher-
man silver purchase law:
Il am as much responsible for the existence
OF that law as any man who supported it, but I
voted for it, as believe every other Senator
from New England, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland did. be-
cause it was question whether we had that or
absolute free coinage
II say 1t openly that we canvassed the Senate
and found n majority which would have passed
a free coinage bill il we had not compromised
On the so-cailed Sherman act. As remember
1t, and will not try to give exact figures,
about three-fourths Of the democrats and about
one-fourth of the republicans favored free
coinage. In the republican caucuses l pro-
posed and argued in favor OF limiting the
Sherman act to five or ten years. The free
coinage men would not compromise"
DO you believe 1t should be repealed?"
II do. and l see no substitute legislation
which is likely to be agreed to- II were in
Congress. possibly would support a measure
a ratio between gold and silver at
about the real difference in value, perhaps to
IL or 10, IL these be the figures now. But it
will be impossible to make ratio which will be
lastlng. because OF the unequal production OF
gold and silver. From time to time the ratio
must be changed to meet this difference in pro-
duction.
II do not desire to stop the use Of silver as
money. but would favor a repeal Of the Sher-
man net and n return to the old law which ex-
listed prior to 1873. Let the government buy
whatever silver it needs and coin it,
II have been at loss to know what can be
done II the next Congress repeats the Sherman
act. do not know whether it will DO possible
to pass bill which Mr.. Cleveland will sign
He is sound or this question. His opinion that
free coinage would bring financial disaster

and has sound Judgment on this matter. but
