Col. L. +. Copeland of Harrisburg
the world renown orator, arrived at
Laporte on Saturday noon en-route
for Forksville where he was billed
to lecture on Saturday evening
The Colonel was evidently disap-
pointed in the distance between La
porte and Forksyille and during the
snow squall shortly after he arrived,
thought seriously of giving up the
trip. With dinner ate and the snow
storm over the Col. looked cheered
and inquired for a livcryman. The
liveryman was brought and bargain
struck for transportating him to
Forksville and from Forksville either
to Towanda or Muncy after the lee
ture was over. Mr.. Copeland was
billed to lecture in Chicago on Tues
day night Jan. 2, and in Brooklyn,
n. Y, on Thursday evening Jan. 4,
hence his great haste to reach a
railrood station on Sunday morning.
The Col. lectured in Towanda re-
Gently and this is what the Towanda
Reojeao says of his remarks ;
"The address of Col. L. F. Copeland
was satisfactory in the highest sense, His
power Of illustration, is the best of any
speaker that has addressed the Institute in
some time, His power of description are
almost without limit. He showed us the
Elephant in that novel way that will last
us all through life. Man is the grandest,
and woman the most glorious creature OF
creation, The Col would rather be a
locomotive than anything else in the world
except woman. But then they are very
much alike. They both scatter sparks and
drag trains. He saw dollar in l'aly on
which were Inscriptions which covered
the whole scope of human life He shows d
us that the ordinary dollar had inscription
enough 10 cover the scope of some lives.
He showed many other classes who are
like the six blind men who want to see the
Elephant, OF all the lectures this one has
been looked forward to by the teachers as
the lecture OF the course "a

EDS. RECORD UNION: As many of the
strikers and their sympathizers seem to
look at but one side of the question which
is now agitating this community, have
thought that another view of the matter
might help some of them to clearer un-
derstanding of what the cause of the
strike really was and what would be the
logical result OF it if persisted in. Sup
pose, on taking up the RECORD UNION, l
should find the following item:
HIGH-HANDED oUTRAGEl
a most unpardonable outrage and infrac-
tfon OF property rights was committed yes
terday morning in Sacramento. The Saera-
inento and Aiilpitas Railroad Company
Smiths horse and wagon and refused 10 allow
him TO use it until they got ready 10 return il
70 him. They not only refused TO pay him
for the use OF it. but used il for their own pur-
poses all day, and now refuse to allow hlm TO
have anything 10 do with IL until he complies
with certain conditions which they insist on.
The only reason they could assign for this
outrageous conduct is that some man IN
Cleveland, O., who had made the wagon, had
quarreied with his workmen.
They SyInpathlZed with the employer, and
John Smith must be made 10 sympathiZe
with him, too, and If ne would not do so they
would continue TO deprive him OF the use OF
his horse and wagon until he showed his sym
pathy, whether he felt it or not by making
the worknen III cleveland agree to take what
ever wages thelr employer offered them.
OF course Smith was recommended to ap-
ply TO the Government tor protection, but the
railroad company claimed that there was no
Government now, because ii had been cor
rupted in various ways, and other absurd
reasons. This unreasonable, unjust and sell
fish conduct on the part of the railroad COM
pany has not only caused great injury TO
John Smith, but great deal of Inconvenience
and loss TO his many customers IN this city,
who have been accustomed TO having their
bread delivered To them every day by his
horse and wagon
1t is needless to carry the illustration
further. II any man, or any set OF men,
cannot see the absurdity of trying to
cram such doctrine as this down our
throats they had better give up their
little attempt at governing the great
American people, and go to work again
and do their duty in that sphere Of life
that they have chosen and lived in.
We learn by experience, but it appears
from this foolish strike as ii we could do
so only by our own experience. and not
by that OF others.
The concent rated wisdom and expert
ence of past ages has been handed down
to US in many precepts, which, if needed,
would have prevented this strike. One
especially would seem to be applicable in
this case: 1.-TWO wrongs cannot make
one righto
To those misguided individuals
have no respect for the Government it can
only be said they have no respect for
themselves, and do not understand the
blessings they enjoy under free govern
ment; that is, Government which guar
antees the freedom OF every individual to
exercise his rights as an American cti-
zen, and prevents him from infringing
on the rights of any other individual.
Yours respectfully,

A few weeks ago the RECORD UNION
made arrangements with the publishers
of "Harper's Pictorial History of the
Civil War;" whereby its subscribers
might purchase each part of the series OF
twenty-six numbers at eight cents per
part Many hundreds of the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers, and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become matter OF
general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate, and written by the foremost
historians Of late years. 1t is very freely
illustrated, and a detailed story of the
war is told III most interesting style.
The RECORD UNION might have sold
these parts at figure considerably in adj
vance Of eight cents and thereby reaped a
rich profit on the sales, but il entered into
the matter solely for the benefit OF its sub
scribers, and is Offering each part at exact
eost-eight cents.
The first nine of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased at the
