Union Label.

Nothing has ever before so we'll fitted
the purpose Of its invention as the union
label. 1t is bright jewel in the diadem
Of honest production. It is the insignia
OF clean, fair-made goods, It carries
with 1t neither threat nor reproach, but
more of entreaty and invitation. It be-
longs only to the good, and its absence
from the legitimate commerce in its line
is cause for suspicious Of fraud and pi-
racy on the high seas Of bargain and
sale. It is the guide to safety for the
wandering mechanic and laborlng man,
and Is beyond the reach Of court corrup-
tion or illegal injunction. It Is current
at par where honesty deals. Demand
its presence on all goods you buy and
you will thereby do favor to the man
who made them and also uphold the
principles Of your own union.-Labor

Pana, ILL.,, Sept. 9-GeOrge v. PEN
well, President OF the Penwell Mining
Company, gave notice to-day that he
would open his mine Monday, but would
pay only 25 cents per ton, the price the
the Sprlngside mines He said: Il pre-
fer white miners IL they will desert the
union; otherwise / must operate the
mine with negroes and foreign labor
ers."
=, The miners say they will not accept
his offer and will not work under the
scale OF 80 cents; neither will they de-
sert the union. This means the impor-
tatlOn Of several hundred additional ne
grOes and the retention Of two hundred
deputies to guard them.
Captain d. H. Harris, the controlling
stOckhOlder in the Pana Mining Com
pany, to-day said: I'VE Pana operators
are opposed to the union as national
body debating to us how we shall run
our business, and we propose unless
they will accept our terms, to put in
negroes"
The Captain virtually admitted that
the object Of the Pana operators Is to
break the union, the price not being so
much In question as the union.
President Cravens, Of the Miners
union, to-day said: "The miners will
never accept the Penwell offer, as the re-
suit would be general dissolution Of
the union--just what the operators have
all the time been working for and would
provoke trouble between the miners and
operators not only Of Illinois but Indi-
ana operators would be compelled to cut
wages in order to meet the competition
Of the four big Pana mines" He added:
"This is a question Of life and death to
the Miners union organization, and we
will fight it out on this line II 1t takes
all winter"
National Vice President John Mitch
ell Of Spring Valley, and State Secre-
tary and Treasurer w. d. Ryan, Of
Braidwood, who arrived to-day, indOrsed
President Craven's statement. Mitchell
and Ryan go from here to Indianapolis
to attend a meeting Of the national ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine Work
ers, Monday. A mammoth stockade and
quarters for imported negroes has been
completed at the Penwell Colliery.

unanimous ACT.

The war with Mexico ia . part OF
our martial history. Taylor and Scott
and Davis and Lee came out Of II I'm
mortal. The epic Of that great strug-
gle was The Dtorming OF Chapultepec.
That frowning fortress was the Glib
raltar OF Mexico. Its massive walls
seemed impregnable. But American
daring halted at no obstacles, and an
intrepid band Of volunteers was chosen
70 scale and assault It, says the Chi
Cago Journal.
Among the hrst of the dauntless few
who braved their way through shot
and shell 10 the fortress on that dread
full day was a young Misslsslppian,
handsome as Alcibiades, proud, con-
Adent and thrilling with patriotic fer
vor. He was among the Arst, II not
the first, to scale the wall, and, sword
In hand, dashed along that storm
swept rampant in advance of all his
fellows 70 cut down the waving flag
Of the enemy and reap the immortality
OF the deed. He was the first to reach
the flag; his sword was raised, when
he heard swift footsteps behind him.
He paused, turned and saw his COM
manding officer, to whom he was ten
Derby attached and deeply obligated.
And then this gallant Mississipppian,
without moments hesitation, with
the bow of Chesterfield, lowered his
sword and with the point at rest stood
aside while his friend and command
ing officer cut down the flag Of Mexico
and was bulletined for the laurels Of
that splendid day.
In the history Of battles there was
never q more gallant, more chfyalrio
deed than that. And the real hero OF
ChapultepeO, MANNED and gray, but
glorious still, sits Just before me here
tonight In the person Of my noble and
beloved friend, Gen. William s. Walker,
| of Atlanta.
