A EratcrnaI Clash.

In Washington, D. c., there is the
GENITAL Labor Union'-a body which
wanted to live on terms of am!ty, ii
not of cooperation, with "the noble
and holy Order Of the knights OF
Labor"
But the latter, putting on some style.
replied that
The District Assembly cannot, in justice to
its local assem- blies, of which quite number
of Your members are suspended and expelled
members, fayorably grant your request.
The request was, therefore, ""faVor-
ably granted.
Then it was the turn again OF the T..
l.. u, which rejoined RS follows:
Your characteristic reply to overtures for
peace must be accepted as indicating the
spirit that governs your body. The welfare
of your constituency seems to be OF MINOR
importance when an opportunity is presented
to hurl vituperation. We might reply in
kind, but in a warfare OF words we are not
experts, and cannot hoIe to compete with
veterans.
Just here the JOURNAL thinks the
C. l.. L. disparages too greatly ITS
linguistic ability. In proof where
of the reader will witness several fine
flashes of sarcasm as the C. l.. I. pro-
ceeds:
We do not, however recognize your right
to fix the grade of any member Of our or
;,,t lo I,,,in,, orr n lpr
represented therein.
The Knights of Labor, claiming member
ship of over one million few years ago,
have become reduced to a few thousand,
scattered over the United States and Canada,
while the larger number are now suspended
or expelled members" If this rapid falling
away from grace is true indication of the
lesson of unionism that you teach, the ex-
members of your order have exercised the
better Judgment
We have some of your Cx-members, but
how or why they left you we had no means
of knowing owing to the rigid veil of secrecy
you maintain. We had as a guide few
samples of the justice you deal to your
brothers and neighbors, and we were not in
the least impressed by them. You failed to
make union men of them, and have no just
cause of complaint if they are now enthu-
siastc in their better surroundings and where
they are in touch with the larger number Of
their own craft throughout the country.
You doubtless will continue your presen
organization and hug your socialistic dolls
fondly believing that you are the father of
something, but time only will develop the
latent manhood among you, and labor may
still hope for new ally i'll the noble and holy
order Of the Knights Of Labor.
This peppery document was signed
and sealed, sin order that no question
as to its authenticity could be success
fully raised,' for it is a peachant Of
knlghtly holiness to be laboriously
skeptical of any and everything that
impeaches either Its North American
antiquity or its united nobility.

Roy Kirk" writing to the Cumber-
land Times from New York. says:
The AnH--HonopOlist is the name of a little
paper which has just made its bow to the
public of the greater New York This paper
is devoted to the interest of retail dealers and
opposed to monopoly; in other words 1T
opposes department stores" Live and Let
Live says the Anti.Nonopolist "buy your
shoes in shoe store only; buy your hats
from halter only ; buy your clothing from
a clothier only, &c, &c.
Mr.. Henry Jandorf, former Frostburg
boy, is the editor and proprietor ofthis paper,
and he is being supported by retail mer-
chants in all parts of the city. Mr. Jandorf
is an energetic young man. as the circulation
books of his paper will show, and | am sure
his many friends in the "clty on the hil''
will be glad to learn of his success in New
York.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Pleasant Affair.

The Musical and Literary Social,
held in st. Paul's English Lutheran
church Thanksgiving evening, was a
very enjoyable entertainment. 1t was
a successful one also. The program,
consisting of Il number of selections
by the Mountain City Orchestra,
several recitations by Miss Elizabeth
Elicit, of Piedmont, and solo by N.
7. Hooking, were splendidly rendered
by the participants. and great credit
is due to them, each and all, for a
most pleasant and profitable evening
socially. The thanks of the Y. P. S.
c. f., under whose auspices the en-
tertainment was given, have been
rendered those who so kindly assisted
them. and special thanks are repre-
scented as due the members of the
orchestra who enlivened the evening
with various selections outside of the
program.

After Election.

Eugene Ware, a Kansas poet of fine
attalnments, refers to the democratic
prodigal son whom MIR. Bryan forbade
to return home except on probation
after his wanderiugs, as follows:
He tramped from Tyre to Sidon
With his sandals on his arm,
And then he struck for jordan
And the big ancestral farm.
His father ran to meet him,
Right glad said he, al ain.
Your trunk got home. Your ma
Is well. We got your telegram
'Tomorrow night the banquet is

Not Fair.

With the revenues Of this nation running
from $50, 600 to $50, 100000 below its ex-
penses, we can never expect to hold up our
heads among solvent Eations.-Hon Thomas

Mr.. Reed should have put it this
way:

Caution.

Uncle Sans idea of weighing coal,
according to what "the miners say"
is that when train of loaded cars
energies from the mine each car should
be respected as IL hearse with some
thing dead in it and treated accord
ingly. 1t should be iostled tendelly
on the scales and halted until the
weighmaster can cmpanel a jury and
hold an inquest.
This is all right, Uacle, in a mine Of
small output and few men, but in one
where Il hundred men may be idle
waiting for cars, and where at the
other end of the line, consumers may
be yelling for coal, the funeral pro-
cession act is ten-fold more injurious to
all concerned than the rare losses sus-
tanned by miner here and there, if
any at all.
The trouble with miners who make
such complaints is-they are too short
sighted to see the end from the be-
ginning, too skeptlcal OF everybody S
honesty but their own, or place too
high an estimate upon their own ''cha-
rack-ter."
The JOURNAL would, therefore, like
to see "the State geologist'' aud this
miner" comforting upon the subject of
weights. 1t would like to note the
harmonies that come from the friction
of educated ignorance in contact with
something stuffed WITH the real thing.
Meanwhile, the JOURNAL extends
this caution to this miner don't per
NIT the geologist to give any pair of
scales practical test.
If you do, your case is gone.
Moreover, you will have buncoed
your uncle.
Which is something no affectionate
nephew will do.

Let Them Try 1t.

The Kansas populists want to make
Mexican silver dollars legal tender,
and they propose to pass a law to that
effect.
1t might not be bad idea for the
United States Supreme Court to decide
that Kansas can do so -inside of State
limits, of course.
A little experience will cure Kansas
of that phase of populism, ard may
even reachythe seat of the disease.
1t is a case wherein the HAIR of the
dog will heal the bite.

The Golden Horseshoe" Again.

Following Is a quotation from Il

What a host of illustrious descendants
those jolly cavaliers gave to the colony and
State Of Virginia. Driven from England bv
Cromwell's Roundheads, they found refuge
in the ''Old Dominion" so named for her
loyalty to the First and Second King Charles.
Warriors, statesmen, jursts and legislators
Well was she named Mother of States and
"MOther ofPreSdents' Washington, Jeifer-
son, Madison, Monroe the Harrison family,
and Abraham Lincoln, one of the pilrest and
best men of his time all native or descended
from her loins. Think of that prince of
orators, Patrick Henry, standing almost alone
and hurting his implacabie defiance at king
and crown. Even the awful suggestion of
treason" did not deter him.
OF snch stuff were men made in those heroic
days, And from them descended William
Jennings Bryan, the peer of any and the
superior Of many-the modern Patrick Henry
who has flung his gauntlet into the face of
England. Just as did Henry-he protests
against the same crime-"exacting tribute
from every man, woman ana child in the
United States without their consent" The

withstanding his defeat. he is morally and
intellectually head and shoulders above all
his antagonists, and the most interesting and
picturesque figure in political life at this
moment.
The parallel is hardly happy in
any respect. The expressions which
brought on the Revolution were of a
far different type from those we suffer
to-day. They were mostly real ours
mostly imaginary. While the bond
deals" were not creditable to those WHO
.torced them, and the bond issues not
just the thing in methoa, the Is to |
remedy was far, very far worse than
the disease.
Without detracting from Mr.. Bryan's
brilliancy, he has neither Patrick Hen
RVS cause, his personality, ror his
originality to commend him to com
parlson. Bryan IS like Henry only in
the fact that he is at home on the
platform.
But even Henry was vanquished-
that by the most enutic, at the same
time the most brilliant of all the Viz
glnia orators-John Randolph.
Hence, there is nothing so uncertain
as distinction, and when picturesque
ness" built upon Il lG to | base
is mentioned, the JOURNAL involun-
tarily recalls the fate of the house
whose foundations were laid in the
sand.

During the past week letters have been
sent cut from the General Secretary g
Office to those who subscribed at the or.
ganization OF the Association last April
and TO all who pledged the membership
fee of $5,-about 400 different PERSONS
calling their attention to the beginning Of
the actual work in the present temporary
quarters, Cox Building, and definite plans
for new rooms, with gymnasium, baths,
parlor, reading room and other privileges.
In this communication the payment Of
subscriptions was requested, in order
that the needed equipment and regular
current expenses might be provided for.
To these letters several have already re
sponded, and others have minated their
intention Of doing so very soon. While
no time will be lost in making the neces-
sary plans for the furnishing of new
quarters and the prosecution OF ANAL
round work, yet the Directors feel that
most of the money pledged for the first
years work ought to be in hand so that
no debts are incurred that cannot be
promptly met. The many expressions OF
interest in the good work that is being
done now and that will be accomplished
in new quarters indicate that our Local
Association will continue to receive the
hearty support OF business men, the CO.
operation Of the young men and the as
sistance of other friends, and that it will
be only a short time when the Associa.
ton will be fully recognized as an estab-
lished institution and mighty factor for

Judge Holt was introduced by Mr..

He reviewed the Chicago platform and
