The Fiesia.

The fiesta of 1899 at Nogales, SonO- "a, will be long remembered as the most successful festal gathering Of the kind heretofore conducted at the line city. The concessionai ires, Messrs.

Cut Your Ticket.

The Homecoming Star gives bad ad-
vice when it enjoins republican voters
to vote the straight ticket
This practice, in either party, is the
corner stone of boss imperialism.
1t is "cutting" that keeps both
parties on their good behavior.
The voter who cuts is the best
conseryator of good government in
the land.
He is the sovereign for whom, of all
others, both otlice-hoiders and bosses
entertain sanitary fear.
Rotation in office" used to be a
party slogan pregnant with the ele-
lnents of public safety and full of the
virtues of a fair deal all round.
But in these days of irresponsible
primaries, misrepresentation delega-
tons and convention trades the near
est want in politics is rotation in
BOSSES"
The only way to supply this want
is-"cut your ticket" wherever it
merits your veto.
Not to do this is to abdicate your
sovereignty to those whom neither
God nor Nature has set above you.

The appendix to Johnnie's marble
yard thinks that Elf the Georges Creek
miners had crushed a certain serpent ;
head in 1883. it would have saved
them many u slur and sneer since"
Without comprehending precisely
what is meant by crushing "a certain
Serpent's head in 1881 the Journal
invites Johnnie to this office, offers its
files and, to reimburse him for time
and labor, will give him 81 for every
"slur,' and $l.50 for every "sneer" at
true labor he can find.
Meanwhile, the JOURNAL will re-
mind the mai BILE yard that is afflicted
with newspaper appendicitis, that the
challenge to miners, for whom Johnnie
has so lately contracted a fondness
that doth not pass understanding,
published several months ago, to ex-
hibit one lone, lorn, solitary, disinter-
eSted favor Johnnie had ever done for
them, has never been taken up.
To make investigation more invit-
ing, the JOURNAL will give IS for
proof that Johnnie ever publicly re-
scented "slur" or ''sneer' in behalf
Of the miners between 1888 and 1897.
These are fair proposals-fair be-
cause if Johnnie has the proofs he will
get twice paid

the fact that, like George Washington,

Not Enough.

In pledging himself to secure more
. pay from taxpayers to pay teachers
Gov. Lowndes does not go far enough.
lie should collect yet more money
from the taxpayers to pay more
teachers.
Take Beall High school for example ::
In one depa rtment-that the most
lmportant-there ale 90 pupils, in
charge of one teacher. Here is ample
employment for one more teacher.
The next department best patronized
has 76-just room enough for another
teacher, and so on.
In short, the average in entire school
to each teacher is 80 or at least l3 too
many.
Instead Of IL teachers, therefore,
Beall High school should be Differed
by not less than IA.
When the State undertook to bestow
good, common-school English educa-
ton on its children it assumed a
colossal engagement.
But having done so, it should do il
right. 1t should furnish plenty of
school room, plenty of teachers with
plenty of qualifications. aud plenty of
pay for their services.

There are other paradoxes.
The Weightier DUTY.

Quoting from Tin and 1,rne, the Bal
timore Sun says the price of Amer can
tin plate is 564 cents per box of los
pounds more than the price of Welsh
tin plate in port before the duty is
paid. The Sun then goes to show that
while the producer is thus ''protected"
in about half cent pound, the poor
consumer loses | J cents a pound, and
concludes that
There is no good reason why the poor man
should pay II cents pound more for his tin
plate in order that man better off may be
enabled to go into the manufacture of tin
plate. should not be taxed for BIS benefit.
Isn't the SIN mistaken? That is.
didn't the talented, gallant congress
man-elect of this district, heading the
Cumberland mission to the Tin Trust.
tell that body that unless the Cumber
land mill is re-opened to share in that
"half-a cent pound,n he will move
during his term to bust the partner
ship?
That was strong talk, but was the
proper reason givene
Let US see.
Counting the whole of Allegany
county as interested in the resumption
OF the tin mill, for every $54.2S the
county makes thereby the remaining
counties of the district lose $529.4S!
1t would seem, therefore. that the
constituent who loses Il cents, rhether
the tin mill runs or not, deserves three
times more consideration by his repre-
sentative than the one who has at
most only half a cent to make when it
runs.
The true cure for the trust evil at
any rate and IN any event is the repeal
of laws which endow trusts with the
power to rob, at their discretion. either
or both producers and consumers.
Hon. Mark Hanna promises the en-
actment OF laws to restrain them, but
to erect by legislation system of
public robbery and by other legisla-
ton limit its cupidity, Is mockery.

Probably too Severe.

His Honor, j. w. F. White, a Pitts
burg judge, few days ago denounced
labor unions from the bench in strong
terms. Among other remarks he
made this:
Trades unions have come to be the most
tyrannous organizations we have, and they
should not be tolerated in a free country
Why boy can no longer learn a trade in his
fathers own shop without the sanction of
some trades union. As conducted they are
menace to free institutions
1t is fortunate for the Judge that he
does not administer justice inside the
jurisdiction of John B. Williams,
labor's latest recruit from the ranks of
the extreme opposition.
The matter is mentioned here, how
ever, as provocation for the state
ment that the JOURNAL never denied
to even professional labor" the right
to organize.
Under system of government
whose corner stone is indiciduaL liberty,
it never went farther than to express
fear of the pulley Of secret combinations
to carry out pu6lic purposes.
Indeed, this was the .frst lesson
learned by the JOURNAL in 1879, when
Henry A. Wise, then giant in land
of giants, swept Know Nothingism in
to oblivion and made 1t possible for
John b. Williams to become an alien
to his native soil, Il sovereign in
America, State Committeeman for
Big 2G, and IL belated interpreter of
both "slurs" and ''sneers."
