Wachapreagae.
Senator LeCato spent last week
on campaigning tour OF several
counties on the Western Shore OF
Virginis.
Protracted services have been held
at the NJ. +. Church, South, OF this
town, the past two weeks, Rev. Mr.

list about two months, are, we are
glad to report, convalescent.

week, for treatment Of cancer OF the
mouth, whence he returned month
ago after undergoing a surgical OPP
Grafton at the hands Of DR.. Martin OF
said hospital.
The oyster season is now fully on,
and shocking and packing OF the
luscious bivalve, on a large scale, are
being done here. The oyster business
of this town has quadrupled within
the past few years, giving employ
ment to hundreds of oystermen,
shuckers and packers.
Marriage bells are ringing already
in our midst. Mr.. @. D. Phillips and
Miss Carrie Hornsby were united in
holy wedlock, last Sunday, at Machi"
pungo Bridge draw, Rev. w. J Twill
ley officiating. Dame rumor reports
that several others living in and near
this town will be made similarly hap
by within the next few weeks.
The dwelling house and nearly all
the furniture of Mr.. Columbus Mears,
a prosperous farmer of this neighbour
hood, were destroyed by fire on Fri
day, 10th instant, about $3.50 q. NJ,
entailing loss to him of probably
$1,000. 1t is not definitely known
how the fire originated, but is sup
posed to have been caused by sparks
from the chimney falling on the roof
The insurance on house and furniture
was $1,000.
Mine host, Mr.. o. d. Doughty, gave
an elegant spread OF all the delicacies
of the season last Monday night to
several of his friends, among whom
were Senator LeCato, Hon. s. W.
Matthews, Rev. w. j. Twllley, wife
and daughter, and M essrs. James It..
Mock, Bernard LeCato and M. r
Bulman. AS caterer, Mr.. d. is well
and favorably known as one who can
satisfy the palate of the most fas-
tidious epicure.
According to the best information
your correspondent can gather, the
Wachapreague Public High School is
in a most fourishing condition, good
order prevailing and much interest
manifested in school work by teach
ers and pupils. We are reliably in
formed that the school has an enroll
meut now of 1879 pupils, an average
of "A to each Of the teachers. Supt.
of schools, DR.. Mapp, visited the
school last tuesday and reports it In
need of another assistant, and it is to
be hoped the School Board will
grant it.

selves of a lifetime opportunity, on
Wednesday, in attending Mr.. Bryan's
speech at Salisbury. They came back
perfectly delighted with the speaker
and more in love with the democratic
party than ever before.
The great and sudden changes in
temperature are hard on the consti-
tuition. On Saturday last the mer-
curry stood $50 and so hours after it
was 750, nearly 400 warmer in so short
a time.
Sunday was an ideal day for ram
BILE along the beautiful shores OF On
ancock creek. One could stand on
Mount Prospect" hill and view the
surrounding homes, up and down the
creek-all beautiful in autumn sun
light, with here and there flock OF
sheep feeding or drove of cattle en-
joying the grass, to give greater
beauty to the scene. We look and
admire nature and through it look
to and love natures God.

III CoAL sTRIKE.

Whether the strike Of the anthracite
coal miners is declared at an end by the
convention which meets on Friday de-
ponds very largely upon the wishes of
President Mitchell Of the United Mine
Workers Union. OstensibIy the conven-
ton, which is to be made up of delegates
from the Workmen employed by the diff
erent operators, is to decide the matter,
but it is generally conceded that the
delegates viii do, "a very large extent
If not completely, Mr.. Mltehen's bidding.
The strike was undoubtedly very largely
OF his creation, for though there was dis
salts action with the scale Of wages It
Is altogether improbable that it would
have led TO a strike at this time had not
President Mitchell got hold Of the more
ignorant Of the miners and organized
them into a union, and subsequently
availed himself Of the coerciTe power OF
this union TO intimidats the miners OF
the higher class. Many OF the strikers
have confessed that they were averss to

quitting work and only yielded when
the threat was made that they would be
posted as 'scabs." Many Of them, too,
would have gladly returned &c work when
the operators offered a raise In wages had
they not feared the power Of Mitchell
and the union. The same power which
brought on the strike and kept the men
nom returning to work notWithstand-
ing an increase Of wages was offered,
VIII suffice to prevent the convention
from resolving in favor Of calling the
strike on II It sees fit. What the dispo-
sition Of this power is remains 20 be seen.
Mr.. Mitchell is avoiding any revelation
OF 1t at this time by giving 1t to be IN
derstood that he does not intend to inter-
fere ID the convention. PROFESSIONALLY
be would ike to have ths opera
tors rscUgnizs hlnsslf and his union
directly. He has brought the bituminous
operators to that point, and now
practically dictates all the tsrms on
which the bituminous miners work.
He would Ike to extend his authority to
the anthracite region, and there can
hardly be a doubt that that was the chief
object be had In view when he began
organizing the anthracite miners nearly
year ago. Were he fairly certain that
he could compel the operators TO Weld
the point by keeping up the strike there
is little doubt that the convention next
Friday would decide in favor or It's con-
tinuanee. But as he is a shreWd man,
and there is no way to determine in ad-
vance whether the operators viii yield or
not, it is more than probable that he
VIII act upon the adage that bird in the
hand is worth two IN the bush, and ad-
has won a'cOnsidsrable measure Of success
already. He has organized the miners
into a union and induced them to submit
practically to his dictation. The strike
which ne ordered and directed has been a
success to the extent Of compelling the
operators to yield all the substantial de-
mands Of the miners, II he stops now
he can justly boast a substantial victory
over the operators, anC he will have a
substantial claim upon the miners grati-
tude that Will enable him to hold their
allegiance and b ide his time to press his
demand for recognition. II, On the
other hand, he continues the strike he
runs great risk Of bringing on a long
contest which viii be attended with
much suffering and want on the part of
the miners and their families. and the
final outcome OF which Will be more
likely to be a victory for the operators
than the miners. Such results could
but injure his prestige, and it might des-
troy 1t altogether. Labor leaders, like
all other leaders, who lead to defeat, are
soon discredited. Mr.. Mitchell has
NV won a partial SUCCESS, and has IN
douptedly acquired dominating infu-
ence among the anthracite miners. Will
he risk all by standing out at this time
for recognition? We DO not believe that
he will. He win be content for the pres
ent with what he has got, If he is
the shrewd leader we take him to be,
and wait and watch for favorable op-
portunity to get more.

Mr.. Bryan is reported as saying at
Salem, Ill, 'If the election were held
today there is no doubt that we would
haYe.a majority in the electoral college
and in the popular vote" But he seemed
to think that there was a doubt as to
whom the majority would be on the sixth
Of November, and the reason he gave
for it was, that tina Republicans between
now and election would buy up
the voters. When a man begins to in
vent excuses for defeat in advance it is a
pretty good sign that he expects it. Mr.
Bryan evidently has practically made
up his mind that the majority viii not
be with him on the sixth of November;
and is preparing in advance an explana-
ton. But even for the purpose of this
explanation it was not necessary for him
to indulge II such an absurd statement
as that there is no doubt that II the
election were held today we would have
majority OF the electoral college. A
certain amount Of exaggeration is per-
mitted to the campaign orator, but he
ought not to let the truth get entirely
out Of sight. 1t looks as If he was get
ting into that state known in the slang
of the day '+rattled.
