and night for some time,

The Weather.

Such spell of weather as we are
having is unprecedented in the his
tory Of Tazewell. The farmers have
been hindered in the seeding OF
wheat but have had every advantage
otherwise to prepare for winter.
When this weather changes the
probability is that we will have it
b I'd, sure enough.

Not the Whole Thing.

It must be matter of regret to the
Republican tuft hunter that Mr.. Nc
Kinley is not the whole thing-that
is, the whole country. 1t is his mis-
fortune to be only the chief executive
of the government, one-third of it.,
really. We are getting close to the di-
vine right, however, when it comes to
charge American citizens with treason
for daring to criticise so exalted per-
sonage as Mr.. Mckinley. This whole
matter was settled in the impeachment
of President Andrew Johnson, the rec
ord of which reveals the curious fact
that the same persons who denounced
as traitors those who stood by the
president of the United States, are now
denouncing those who oppose Presi-
dent McKinley's personal policy, as
also traitors. Treason, nowadays,
seems to be a sort of tapeworm, split
up into sections, each Of which may
produce the same kind of tapeworm
as its whole.

President d. A. Hayes of the Glass
Bottle Blowers association Of the
United States and Canada has written
an article on the settlement recently
effected by that association and the
Cumberland Glass company of Bridge
ton, N. j., which so strikingly illus
trates the advantages accruing to
workers from successful organization,
that l here present summary of 1t:
The firm has agreed to recognize the
association, its officers, and regularly
elected committees; it pays union
scale of wages, and abides By such
rules, etc., as do or may exist between
the Blowers and the Manufacturers
associations. 1t was the largest non
union bottle making concern in the
country, employing about 300 blowers
and 1000 other men. 1t had been
fighting the union since 1886. 1t had
been conducting company store so
exacting that when April last strike
was declared, every one of the men
who went out was in debt to the same.
Now the wages of about 1900 men
have been increased from ten to forty
per cent; they will be paid in cash,
and may spend their money where
they please. The firm stated that its
fight against the union cost it, directly
and indirectly, S240,000. l Go not
think it needs argument to prove that
the condition of the union glassblow-
ers, etc., is substantially better than
was that Of their non-union fellow
toilers. Individual blowers, no matter
how great their number, could never
have gained the points won by the Or
ganized blowers. What is true of glass
workers is true of every other branch
of work, with possible exceptions so
minute as to be undiscernible to the
naked eye. On the farm, in the woods,
the mine, the shop, the office, the ditch
and the bank, those who work should
organize. They must stand together
or fall separately. Capital realizes that
the same thing is true of it. 1t doesn't
set one dollar on edge, and another
and another beside, and expect each
all by itself to even preserve itself, let
alone bring returns. 1t Jumps its
units into thousands, hundreds of
thousands, millions, hundreds OF
millions. And the dollars are pre-
served, increase, and well-nigh rule the
land. When | hear the non-union labor
er and mechanic marvel at the wisdom
Of the captains of industry, l some
times think it would be we'll if he
could, Just for a moment, be made to
marvel rather at the magnitude of his
folly in refusing to ally himself with
his fellows.

There will be no pause until the In
surrection is suppressed and Ameri-
can authority acknowledged and estab-
lished the speedy sup
preston of the rebellion, the establish
ment of peace and tranquility, and
government under the undisputed SOW
ereignty of the United States.-Presi-
dent Mckinley in 1899.
The government of the people must
be by the people, and not by few OF
the people; it must rest upon the free
consent of the governed, and all of the
governed. Power, it must be remem-
bered, which is secured by oppression,
or usurpation, or by any form of in
justice, is soon dethroned. We have
no right in law or morals to usurp
that which belongs to another, wheth-
err it is property or power.-Congress-
man Mckinley in 1890.

AS he sat and Meditated two Play

them.
They followed the Gutta Percha

feverishly of Brassy Lies and getting
past the Bunker and Lofting to the

that they were much Inferior to his

What is our remedy for the present
state of affairs? There seems to the
writer to be only one answer. The
men Of education and culture must
throw themselves into the midst OF
social movements with the same ener-
gy and persistence that they pursue in
tellectual ends. He who wishes to
bring about a better state of society
must put himself into closest touch
with it. He must not reason apart
from it. The social structure cannot
be renewed from without. All organic
growth is from within outward. True
reform is growth, and not a revolu-
ton. Society is not laboratory In
which the social physicist may merely
watch reactions. 1t is rather a living
organism of which he must be an ac-
tive unit, or else lose all vital connec-
tion.-W. R. futile, in the Arena.

Man as Man.

The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, one of the many great bodies affili-
ated with the Federation of Labor, Is,
perhaps quite unconsciously, demon
strating very forcibly that organized
labor is thoroughly democratic-that
it knows no color, section, or creed.
In Barclay, ILL.,, Mr. Webster Hutchins,
a negro miner from the South, is sec
rotary of Local No. 1926, U. M. w. OF
A.. and in letter written in reply to
some resolutions adopted by a con-
yention of colored men, recently held
in New Orleans. La. he says: Il Will
say that l think that If the colored
men down South would organize and
come up here the white miners would
let them work in the mines, and want
them to know that l. as colored man
find no difficulty in working in this
field. But If they come up here to take
the place of white miners at reduced
rates they will also be taking the
places of myself and other colored
union men, and / think the time has
arrived when it Is the duty of both
colored and white men to stand to-
gether in defense of their God-given
rights" In Alabama, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, and Maryland,
white organizers of the U. M. w. of A.
are urging miners, white and black
alike. to join hands in the trades
union of their craft, and in the an
thracite regions of Pennsylvania,
where thousands upon thousands OF
Italian and Slavish men, unable to
speak or read English, find employ
ment, like efforts are being made. The
United Mine Workers Journal fills
tearly half of its eight large pages
with matter printed in their language,
and organizers and lecturers of their
own race or conversant with their
tongue are being sent among them to
urge them to join fortunes with their
fellow craftsmen. In another field the
same ideas are being carried out. The
New York city Typographical union is
engaged in a conflict with one of the
great newspapers of the metropolis.
1t is receiving the support, moral and
financial, of many other labor organ
izations. An English body, with head
quarters in London, promptly voted
several thousand dollars to assist in
the fight, and promised further aid if
required. These are but few of the
many points wherein organization

Remember 1t.

The earth is our mother. Remember
that. The earth is our mother. Let
this potent truth be burned into your
brain. other things are important, but
the most important thing of all is to
settle eqnitably the relation of all men
to their mother, SO that none shall be
disinherited. While some men are al
lowed to hold land idle, other men
must starve or work for starvation
wages. The land monopoly Is the
great parent and breeder of all other
monopolies. Simpsons Bayonet.
