Unfortunate Contrast.

Uncle Sam does not fancy the in,
vasion of Cumberland next summer by
an ''almy Of bankers" Indeed, he is
startled by the forecast as bull be-
comes peevish in sight of rag that is
red. He says "the only difference be-
tween" them and "Coxey's army
seems to be that the Coxeyites were will
ing to work if they could get it.
The JOURNAL fears Uncle Sam has
been misinformed just at this iuncture.
When Coxey started on that march
for work a nucleus of about one thous-
and men "lined up" This number
was to grow as the march proceeded,
but when the army reached Frostbure
the assertions from the campaign for
work had reduced 1t to less than four
hundred.
And while here the veterans express

anything "eecept acorh."

These observations arise from a re-

Instead of obeying the behests of II

Instead of adopting the piques of an

ignore both him and his resentmcnts.
But what spectacle was that last

Facts.


Who "Ekno,' in Tncle Sam, is, the
JOURNAL does not know, but if his
stories of the woes of his Pennsylvania
brethren are equal to his exaggerations
of the JOURNALS attitude, he is of all
men the most inveracious as well as
the most meritoriously wretched.
When the JOURNAL speaks of the
drink habit as Il hindlance to indus
trial woll-being, it does so of individ
uals rather than of communities-an
explanation that would be unnecessary
to anybody that had grain of sense
Plus "Ekno's' small stock of gumption.
1t can be proven right here in this
region that the sober man is far more
prosperous than his drinking neighbor.
And it is proverbial that when the
walking delegate comes around he al
ways selects the unthrifty mans con
dition as typical Of the regions con-
dition.
''Eknor may froth at the mouth over
these statements, but nothing in the
whole rea IN of truth is truer.
How to Avoid Error.
The miners ofGeorge Creek. who want in
the next Legislature men who will advocate
and vote for measures that have a tendency
to benefit the workingman will do well to
steer clear Of the snares and schemes already
being operated by the newspapers which OPP
posed the miners measures in 1886, and who
will show their opposition again when the
opportunity arrives. If the miners want to
succeed in their efforts for legislation, they
must stand by their friends and extend the
voting support that is necessary I.onacon-
ing Reoie~.
SO far as the foregoing paragraph
refers to the JOURNAL it is IL fancy.
If there is any legislation which the
miners need that is constitutional the
JOURNAL will certainly not oppose 1t.
But legislation which trenches upon
the control Of property not their own,
is not onl y unconstitutional, but it is
not good for the miners themselves,
especially the weaker ones.
1t might be more to the point, there
fore, for the miners to avoid the col
lapses into which the professional
labor paper will undoubtedly lead them
if they continue to regard such papers
as their Mentors.
In such matters in this coal region
the only safe newspaper guide is the
JOURNAL.
