helm of the rejuvenated Hagerstown

Neatly printed on good paper; its
news we'll collated, and editorials ring

We Destroy Ourselves.

Anent the use of oil forced by the
coal strike in the north west, it should
not be forgotten that the vast array of
machinery in Machinery Hall at the
Worlds Fair was propelled by steam
raised by oil.
The largest boiler ever made was
there, and the greatest boast made IN
it's behalf was-H is heated By oil!
A strike in any coal region just now
for any purpose is "a thing of beauty
and Joy forever''-to the oil men.

These miners were invited to join in the

of course, are with the strikers. But they
had no grievances OF their own; they had
signed contracts which will not expire until
August, and they felt these contracts should
not be broken. Accordingly they voted
against strike. They realized that it is
folly to ask employers to live up to wage
contracts unless the men do the same-Coal

A Plain Issue.

The Baltimore letter in Thursdays
Cumberland Neos is undoubtedly a
true summary of the mine owners
attitude in the current crisis:
|, They will yield to no demands us
now made or understood.
., They will, however, meet their
employees at any time, but not as the
representatives Of any organization.
3, They will hold no intercourse
directly or indirectly whatever with
outsiders.
t, They will not be represented at
Cleveland nor anywhere else at any
time outside of Allegany county, nor
uader the auspices Of any organization.
The statement concludes as follows
This is the situation as the operators leave
it to-day. They do not believe that
majority of their workmen favor strike.
and they will support and protect those who
desire to continue at work.
The mines will be closed tight until work
is resumed under the stotus as it exists to-day.
These are "words with the bark on"
There is no begging nor whining
about the matter.
Stand to your agreement of March
23d, miners, or shut goes the shop.

The Final Deduction.


The JOURNAL has contended that the
strike of this day is a strike against the
consumer-not the employer.
Here is the proof in the italicized
clause from the Cumberland Ne,cS'
Baltimore letter of the 9th inst:
They (the companies) have therefore
determined that they will yield to no
demands. That it will pay them better to
keep faith with the people with whom they
have made contracts and close their mines
mder the strike stipulation emJodied in tie
agreements, rather than submit to any
demands made under existing circumstances.
A strike, therefore, drives the con-
sumner off to Pocahontas.
Or, if Pocahontas is on strike and
wont furnish coal, the consumer will
then bring in Nova Scotia coal-in
which event the striker becomes the
most practical kind of a practical
Wilson bill free-trader in coal.
The men who for any reason do not
want to ship coal from this region are
playing into the hands of Pocahontas
or Nova Scotia-perhaps both.
And they are flu. nishing the ad-
vocates of free coal in Congress argu-
ments for striking down even that 40
cents per ton that cannot be answered.

IL Is not too early in the season 10 think
OF holiday gifts, and prudent and farseeing
DANES add dsmoiselles are already laying
plans for all the beautiful things they In
tend having ready by Chrfstmastfde.
With little care and forethought one
may gather together the dainticst mate
rials, have oil sorts Of embroidery stamped,
the working materials matched and ready,
and at intervals, by utilizing odd mo-
ments OF leisure, the pretty things Will DO
finished almost before one is aware of it.
Among the most desirable presents for Q
lady who has house of her own Is table
linen of ALI sorts, especially the embrold-
cred and decorated squares and doilies
Heavy linen or satin sheeting is one of the
best fabrics for working either In silk or
linen. It washes exquis,tely and always
has n rich and enc look, very much more
60 than any material containing cotton.
The shops are fun of very hne paper in
fancy qualities and colors Of every descrip-
ton. Doxssrous handling and little prac-
tice enabio ono DO make charming articles
Of this kind. Lamp shades, boxes, little
wall pockets, letter cases, jewel trays-in-
decd ii is scarcely possible to imagine a
use to which this may not be put. 1t

cry, and as some Of IL ia quite strong
tiny slits may be made In 1t and ribbons
interlaced and tied in bows. This Is .
good plan In making these boxes 10 be
sent away, as the ribbons strengthen the
paper and prevent brcshing.
Anybody who has the means may buy
gifts, OF course, but IL is the present
wrought with infinite skin and patience
and painstaking that represents most to
people of sentiment. Articles for the toilet
table are always acceptable, and bric-a-
brao never goes aniss Gloves, hosiery,
laces and the like may be given; also
handkerohiets galorc, for one rarely has
too many Of them.
Ono Of the pretticst possible gifts is
half Dozen handkerchiefs embroidered by
the donor with the name or initial of the
person for whom they are intended. This
present Is suitable for either man OF wom-
ON, and there will be spare minutes
enough between now and Christmas in
which to do the embroidery. Cotton is
usually chosen In preference to linen
thread for this purpose.
A pretty pattern is given, the letter Of
which, being simple, may DO easily
changed, the came spray being used with
other plain initials ~>-
