This was. followed next year by a null
titude of others. Great distress pre-
vailed throughout the community.
Most of the laboring ..classes were de-
prived Of work. The town did not Who'll
ly recover from the severe blow until
after the peace of 1876" From these ex-
tracts it appears that the prosperity of
the lodges must have been very iEjari-
ously affected. The measures com
menced by the Masons leading to the
forming of an important Grand Lodge
followed the steps taken by the citizens
o esta blish separate government foI
their district. Quite a number of the
leaders in the movement for separation
of the civil government were also Ma
sons. An inspection of thelist of those
who composed the first State Govern
ment is sufficient evidence of this fact.
Besides these, Albion K. Paris, John
Holmes, Nathan Weston, Ezekiel Whit
man, judah Dana, Thomas 6. Thornton,
VIM. Burlelgh. Benjamin Green, Samuel
Fessenden and many more OF the lead
ing citizens were Masons. The nearest
lodge was 80 miles from Boston, the
seat of the mother Grand Lodge, and
the farthest lodge was $40 miles from
Boston, rendering it inconvenient and
expensive to attend the communications,
and as a result, the lodges were seldom
represented, unless by proxy residing
in Massachusetts,. Portland Lodge, by
circular letter of August IS, 1919, in

CINIL-SERVICE The
Atlanta JOnrnGi says: "Only a few
years ago civil-service reform was
generally regarded in this country
only as the hobby of few Arcadian
politicians. Hardly anybody eX-
pected to see it become more than q
theory. Now it is an accomplished
fact. 1t has come to stay. Its
scope and its hold on the popular
mind are constantly increasing.-
The only probable change is in the
direction of its larger application
and stricter enforcement. When
the act was passed in 1888 it included
only $4,000 offices. Now there are
$4,000 under its provisions. No
political party would now dare at.
tack the civil-service policy of the
government, and it is assailed only
10y few out-ofdate politicians and
some newspapers with small infiu-
ence. There is not the slightest
danger of Il backward step in this
mattpr.'

THERE are twenty odd cases of
smallpox at Staunton-all among
the colored people. There seems,
however, to be no serious apprehen-
sion Of spread of the disease and
all necessary precautions are being
taken to prevent it. People often
become unnecessarily alarmed when
case of smallpox is reported. The
disease is so managed nowadays
that it rarely becomes epidemic and
there is no reason why it should
cause SO much alarm.

UNFAIR CRITICISM.-If there is
d"magoguC in office he is sure To-
show his character in connection
with labor movement. The re-
tuSal Of Governor MacCorklC, of
West Virginia, to let the Virginia
militia invade the soil of his State
to distance Of two miles for the
purpose of SupprrS-ing strike riots
is the largest exhibition Of the kind
up to date. PhH0dc1phju TTncS.
We think this criticism unjust.
There WAS no reason why Virginia
troops should be allowed to enter
this State. The. Governor was fully
informed of the situation and had
our own troops in readiness to 60
to the scene of trouble whenever no.
tilted 10y the civil authorities that
their presence was necessary to pre-.
serve order. There has been no dis.
turbancc in the Flat Top region, nc
destruction Of property, or other
act Of violence and no call upon the
Governor from the sheriff for help.
Under these circumstances for the
Governor to have given his consent
to the entry of Virginia troops upor
our soil for the purpose of dispcrs
ing meeting of the miners or fo,
any other purpose, would have sub
Jectod him to just and proper criti

WHAT OUR FACTORIES SELL.
ENGLAND.-Thc Now York UOrId
says: 1.-The United Kingdom takes
more of our total exports than we
sell to all other countries combined.
This is we'll known. 1t has been
much discussed, but as our exports
are 50 largely agricultural and min
cral an Important fact has been lost
sight of. 1t is generally supposed
that while England buys freely our
bread stutts and provisions it buys
only inconsidcrahlc quantities of our
manufactured goods. The treasury
report shows the contrary. During
the nine months ended April LIST, the
United Kingdom was our largest
customer in several of the most i'm
portant lines Of manufactures and
one of the largest in all. Out of a
total of S7,9S9,OOO of exported
American cotton5 England took
SlIS,OOO or moro than all the rest of
Europe and twice as much as Mexico.
Out Of total of 50, 262 900 exported
manufacturers of iron and steel Eng
land took $3.50, 0OO-twice as much
as Mexico, the Argentine Republic
or Brazil, which have been SUPPOSE
bly, our best customers for such
goods. In machinery, such as loco.
motives and stationary engines,
England ranks only second to Brazil
among our customers. In passenger
cars England took more than Brazil
and more than twice as much as al
Continental Europe. OF our ex.
ports Of leather - per cent. went tc
England; of sewing machines >;
per cent, Of naval stores over 3G
per cent, of mineral oils over 8:
per cent, Of all manufuctcd wool,
over - per cent, and so on through
