The collection in Cumberland of

ceeded the Leagues accommodations,
and the people had to be told to stop
being so good. The goods, listed be-
low, have been shipped by the League
to DR.. A. G. Smith, who will judiciously
distribute them. They will afford

blame the present spell Of weather on the
democratic party Nems.

powers of evil in bringing on the hot

Was it not held in public speech

All this was very foolish, of course,
but not whit more so than many
other allegations we hear.
But 1.-THE democratic party" is ac-
quilted of blame by the Ners for free

inquiries:
How does the JOURNAL know our operators
cannot give 50 cents? By or from what
authority does it make the assertion?
The JOURNAL confesses it has no
direct information, but it will give
Censor" sample piece ofintelligence
from the coal piers at Norfolk, Va, as
printed in the Manufacturers Record
last Saturday:
The United States steamer Minneapolis will
probably sail on Saturday for New York,
where she will fill her bunkers with Poca-
hontas coal. The government buys Poca-
hontas coal cheaper at New York than at
Lambert Point.
Under such circumstances, Mr..
Censor" it is more than likely that
our companies can make money by
shutting down here entirely and do
like the government-buy the coal
they need at New York. Ordinarily
Pocahontas coal is from 10 to ID cents
per ton cheaper than our coal at that
point anyhow. SO that if the govern
ment can send vessel in the wake of
a coal carrier from Norfolk to New
York, take the coal off the carrier
and make money, our companies can do
the same thing ind they hoce lone it
when forced to do so bv our insane
sympathy" for Ohio
There is point, too, in the item
quoted which confirms what the JOUR
NAL has been telling people all the
way to Baltimore, inclusive. Make
coal free of tariff and you will have to
pay more for it than now
There seems no just reason why coal
should be carried by Norfolk and sold
cheaper in New York than Norfolk:
yet it is done because the certain trade
of the Pocahontas region must pay for
what is lost in the uncertain.
The JOURNAL regrets that Censor
does not know what he is writing
about, but as 90 per- cent. of our labor
misinformation originates in Noble
Order guess-work and ignorance,
Censor" will have to be pardoned for
his share of it.
Especially since he makes at least
one suggestion that is halt good:
The money that is wasted in the hun drcds
of saloons Oh the creek should be in the
treasury Of their lodges.
That money should be IN the treasury
Of each family.
The lodge is stark delusion and an
unambiguous snare.
1t starts in the saloon and its cOurs G
is-downhill.
In its last estate the lodge is worse
than the saloon!

a prophet and prophesied that when
he answered that letter he would
bubble and beat around the bush, in.

proves that my prophecy was correct.

Something to Keep IN Mind.

Inasmuch as the JOURNAL demands some
thing more tangible in the way of criticism
of the conduct of its latest p,otege we call its
attention to the fact that he seems to have
added to his numerous other qualifications as
a teacher the more dubious accomplishments
of fasehood and Misrepresentation, Mr..
Perdew cannot afford to remain in the posi-
ton the ReCie~ has placed him. The &C
cusation is too grave.-Cumberland Necs.
Fortunately, the Reciep does not fix
Mr.. Perdew'S status.
1t is only able unfortunately to take
advantage of the natural timidity with
which young ladies shrink from APP
pearing in print as parties to squabble
IA timidity heightened by the danger
which imperils their tenu under a
school system which seems to be run
from the outside for nearly every other
purpose but teaching the children.
But Mr.. Perdew cannot be destroy.
ed by fire from behind a wabbling
ambush of skedaddling petticoats.
He may be driven from his position,
but when he is, the public will fully
understand two facts
|, That it will not be on account of
any real delinquency as tutor, nor
,, On account of anything the he
cie,o may, can or will do to his injury.
Meanwhile, the official manhood of the
School Board is staked on Mr.. Per-
dew's fate.
Don't forget that.
Later-The Reeieac's misconception of
the courage of Mr.. Perdew's assistants
has probably led the JOURNAL to do at
least five of them some injustice, mas
much as their names appear appended
to card in the Star which atfirms that
they "did authorize him to deny the
statements made in the RecieU,n etc.
They further testify that "al the
teachers save one, agreed to the
Original statement made by Mr..
Perdew, and which the Reciew contro-
verted with so much Mortified indig
nation.
But accepting the ladies' pardon in
advance, it only remains to say that
their "tcrse statement is a hole that
has closed in on the Rerier.
And what its friends most ne, d now
is Il stump puller.
Still later.-After reading the Iona.
coming Recieso yesterday morning the
case SINNERS down to about this:
There are nine assistants in Contra
school, one of whom refuses to cor
roborate the story of the trial. scene
three are n-committal, and .fce de-
clare that Mr.. Perdew's statement is
correct, and that the three agreed to it
In short, only one of the nine declines
to stand by Mr.. Perdew.
This narrows the trouble to ques
ton of veraclty between at least five
teachers and the Recieec an issue which
the Trustees ought to be able to settle
in q very few conclusive lines.
Otherwise, gentlemen, abdicate and
turn the whole official conduct OF

\ Warm Analysis Of Ihvesey's
Arguments.

CUMBERLAND, Mp, Jan. -, 1895
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Concluded from last week.
Let me call your attention to another
incorrect (for charty's sake ! use this
word rather than palmer one) state
ment of Mr.. Livesey's. He addresses
this remark to Henry George:
You know, that you consider every man
owning property as guilty as the man who
holds stolen goods.
Mr.. George does nothing of the
kind. Let me give his own words, as
found on page of "We Condition Of
La6or," an open letter to Pope Leo XIII:
AS to the right Of ownership, we hold !;
That
Beng created individuals, with individual
wants and powers, men are individually EN-
titled Subject OF course to the moral obliga-
tons that arise from such relations as that of
the family to the use of their own powers
and the enjoyment of the results.
There thus arises, anterior to human law,
and deriving its validity from the law of God,
a right of private ownership III things pro
duced by labOr-a right that the possessor
may transfer, but of which to deprive him
without his will is theft
This right of property, originating in the
right of the individual to himself is the only
full and complete right of property.
And so sacred as we Single-TaXers
regard this right Of property that we
hold that even the community has no
right to take any OF it in taxation,
We, therefore. propose "the repeal of
all taxes levied on the products and
processes of industry which taxes.
since they take from the earnings of
labor, we hold to be infringements of
the right of property" (Same book,
page 81
But perhaps Mr.. Livesey meant
Gland" when he wrote property" and
he wanted to say:
Henry George considers every man owning
lah,d as guilty AS the man who holds stolen
goods.
Let me quote again from the same
book. page 81;
The real evil lies in tho injustice from
which unnatural possession and unnatural
deprivation both spring.
But this injustice can hardly be charged
on individuals or classes. The existence of
private property in land is a great social
wrong from which society at large suffers,
and of which the very rich and the very poor
are alike the victims, though at the opposite
extremes. Seeing this, it seems like viola
