LABOR MATTERS.
Miners 60 Organize Movement SINH
Lar to the Operators.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.-The tri-State
coal combine recently formed by the
coal operators Of Alabama, Kentucky
and Tennessee has been met with a
similar movement on the part of the
miners in those States, who seem to re-
gard the operators combine as men
ace to their interests. The miners of
the Birmingham district, where the
coal combine originated, have taken
steps for a tri-State amalgamation Of
the miners, similar to the coal opera
tors combine. They have arranged for
a convention, to be held at Chattanoo-
ga or Birmingham, in the near future.
Delegates will attend from the three
States, and cement an organization.
The call for the convention says
"The combine that the miners Of the
South shall form will not interfere
with the present system of organiza-
tion. The cause Of the miners Of the
South is the cause of the miners in the
North. If the Southern miners sue
ceed in keeping up wages in the South
so also will it assist in keeping them up
in the North, Heretofore the axe has
cut the other way"

Ter and daughter, aged about twelve

in a buggy for Wesley to consult q
physician. While passing through the
Intervening bottoms of Mill Creek they
were accosted by two negroes who let
them know their purpose in no un-
certain language. They stopped the
horses and laid violent hands on the
ladies and endeavored to pull them
from the vehicle, but Mrs. Kaegler,
with great presence of mind, whipped
mn the horses suddenly and the brutef
were left behind. The ladies resumed
their way to Wesley, and when they
were ready TO return home two white
men accompanied them and came
throuoh the bottom with them. Then.
thinking there was no further necessity
for their services, they returned 70
their homes, leaving Mrs. kaegler ano

The town house is one Of the hand
soonest Of old Salem mansions, some
times called the Cabot House, built be-
fore the Revolution and preserving its
fine colonial architecture by the wise
remodeling Of Judge Endicott. The
Judge himself was born in the still more
notable Crowninshield house on Derby
street, his mother belonging to that dis
tinguished family. The exclusiveness
of these old aristocratic Salem families
has not prevented worthy develop
ment Of public spirit in this vicinity,
and the memorials of the very earliest
times, from John Endicott down, are
accessible to those who do but seek.
1t is but charming drive tU the
summer home Of the most distinguished
representative Of the Endicott family in
this generation, Mr.. William G. Endi-

Considerable interest Is being aroused
in England by suggestion to adopt
the metric system of weights and meas
ures instead Of the intricate methods
now in use. The same applies with
equal force to the United States. We
have taken one step In advance Of Eng
land in having put our money on the
decimal system, and we should follow
It up by adopting the metric system
throughout. Congress has already put
its official seal on the metric system,
which Is more than can be said Of the
old systems. People, however, still
cling to the old methods, because they
can not be dispensed with except by a
concerted movement, The people are
In favor Of the change, on account Of
the increased simplicity Of all meas
ures Of quantity under the metric sys-
tenn. Most Of the European countries
have adopted the decimal system.
When the change was made 1t was by
the government setting day when the
old measures and weights were to
cease and the new ones were to come
into vogue. After a period Of grace,
those found using the old systems were
fined. Thus the old order passed, and
the new came into use. Americans
want the metric (decimaD system.

ence Of opinion was another source of
alienation. The Rev. Mr.. Higginson,
the Salem minister, writes very early:
Our governor has planted vineyard
with great hope Of increase" but later
accounts would indicate that grapes
were not success. Not so with his
orchards, however. There is a sufi-
cient record of his bargain with Will
liam Trask, when he sold him 500 apple
trees, for which he received $50 acres
of lane. A fine pioneer nUrseryman
the Puritan governor had become, al
belt he does not so figure in history.
When this "Endecott grant" was made,
he had lost the wife who crossed the
seas with him-the Anne Cover who
was niece or cousin to Governor
Matthew Cradock Of colonial fame, and
whose fairly wrought sampler is tri-
umphantly exhibited, with her hus-
bands sun-dial, in the Essex Institute

A paper devoted to the oil and paint
trade says: "The fax crop of 1894 Is
now found to have amounted to only T.
100000 bushels, which is but little more
than one-half Of the average crops of
the four years preceding, and falls g.
100000 bushels below the crop Of 1893.
The largest crop was that of 1891, which
amounted to 100000 bushels. The
small crop Of the past year would have
caused a scarcity but for the large i'm
portations Of Calcutta seed, and this
has also prevented an increase in prices
which the smaller supply Of domestic
seed otherwise warranted. At the close
of the crop year the price for cash seed
at Chicago, while lower than year
ago, was higher than at the close of
either of the three preceding years,
but at the close Of the crop year of 1889
80, and on the eve of then almost I'M
precedentedly large crop, the price was
nearly IL per cent higher. This may
be taken as indicating me influence Of
free imports of foreign seeds. AS to
the crop of 1896 estimates vary greatly,
but it appears to be conceded that 1t
will exceed 100000 bushels"

seeded as governor. especially as the
Brownes-two men whom he, in his
opposition to all eccleslasticism, ex-
PEELED from the colony because Of their
devotion to the Episcopal form of wor-
ship-were making trouble for him in
England. His successor, John Win
throp, was his good friend, however,
and, relieved from the cares of the first
Office in the colony, the thrifty pioneer
had time to make the wilderness bios

In tho Salem court house a scholarly
incumbent showed the writer how and
when the Endlcott grant, over which
we were to have an afternoons ramble,
was made. The government Of the col
ony was vested in a governor, deputy
governor, and eighteen assistants,
chosen by the freemen. Four general
courts were held each year, when all
the freemen were to assemble, but other
courts were to be held by these officers,
At such a court as the last named, the
three hundred acres of land between
the two rivers Of ponderous Indian
names NOW called Waters and Crane
rivers were granted to Captain John
Endicott July 8, 1852. Much OF the land
was covered with birches when the
grant was made, and aside from its
Indian title it was known in English
as Brentwood, but when the governor
had cleared it he named 1t Orchard
Farm, calling the stream toward which
1t principally sloped "Cow-House
River" with characteristic absence
of sentiment. He loved the spot more
than his "Broadfeld' in Salem, and his
tillage made it famous.
The Salem planters wanted to raise
tobacco. Endicott thought it injurious
to health and morals, and this differ
