WHEN JONES COMES HOME

While Alderman Powers holds the fort,
and the Hills and Browns and Fitchettes,
who fell in the destruction the alderman
dealt right and left during his brief sortie
of last week, are still writhing outside
the breastworks, Jones, David Percy,
president Of the council, is speeding home
from Goffstown, N. H., stopping only
now and then for a sandwich. AS he
speeds to this Minneapolis Winchester,
some Of the local oracles of the newspaper
fraternity are speedily, very speedily,
"putting US onto" what Jones will do
when he arrives on his foam f1ecked train.
While Mr.. Jones has been discreetly
keeping his own councils he has
overlooked the important, the
predominant effect Of environ
ment on human thought and action.
But the reporter Of morning contempo-
rary did not.
"No program matured as to municipal
house cleaning" telegraphed Mr.. Jones.
The ordinary mind of the average citi-
zen would detect nothing oracular in that
But that is why extraordinary persons
are employed as reporters. ..:
There is world of meaning behind that
simple sentence. The chromatfc glories OF
heaven and earth and the waters under
the earth do not exist for the eyeless;
there are no ravishing symphonies for
the earless. Likewise there is nothing in
Jones' message for those who have not
the wherewithal to see it. But these de-
fective beings are not hopeless. There is
a .reportorial medium that will make II
plain-and by easy steps,too
Now notice: First. as our contempt:
rary points out, any fool knows that
house cleaning means cleaning out the
house.
But there are different ways of cleaning
out the house. =.
What way did Jones mean?
| That's easy. Wy E
Jones Is in New England. "a.
Therefore. as plain as the nose on you
! face, he means house cleaning of the New
England kind.
Applying the figure we conclude tha

Foyer Chat.

The fourth week of the Percy Haswell com.
pany engagement at the Metropolitan was
ushered in last might with the presentation
of Gillettes clever comedy, Because She
Loved Him So." With the appearance of
Miss Haswell and Mr.. Gilmore as the young
wife and husband in the first act, a storm
of merriment burst forth that did not sub
side until the fall of the final curtain. A
view of the performance will be given in this
column tomorrow.
For the week beginning next Sunday the
Haswell company will present Moths and
Romeo and Juliet The former play will
be given Sunday night and Saturday matinee
and night, and Romeo and Juliet the re-
mainder of the week.

of reciprocity ION such terms as will
equalize our trade with other nations,
remove the restrictions which now OBJ
struct the sale Of American products in
the ports of other countries, and secure
enlarged markets for the products of our
farms, forests and factories" and the
declaration was made that protection
and reciprocity are twin measures Of re-
publican policy and go hand In hand"
and both must be re-established." That
was a sound plank and the interesting
thing about, it is that it expresses need
and an urgent need to-day, just as it did
in 1895. There is not as much danger of
European coalition against our export
trade as there is of an American coalition
against that trade by erring statesmen.

civ Baths for the Poor.

To the Editor of The Journal.
It has been urged that the present site OK

house for the poor. Now it seems to me tnas
that is one of the best uses to which It can
be put re-. .S
As is well known, the many thousands OF
the poor. people who live In our larger cities.
in crowded buildings and congested places,
are unable in great measure to have GOOD

Now to make this matter somewhat prac'
tical. will not some of our influential citizens.

for such purpose?

The STRIKE DISORDERS.

The tumultuary and tragical proceed
ings in the regions affected by labor
strikes will naturally assume a worse as
pect as the strike is prolonged, and it may
easily be imagined what might be the
situation had the whole membership of
the u. NJ w. of A, Including the bitum-
inous miners, decided to take their
chances Of a sympathetic strike.
! A strike without 'violence, when the
tude is rare. And labor, in militant action
not infrequentlys attempts to Justify Its
acts of Violence: andtt to complain when
the courts interfere to show that labor
and capital both have their rights under
the law, which must be defended and ade-
quately protected in the name of the maj
esty Of the law. The non-upion laborer
has as strong a claim upon the protection
of the law as has the union laborer. The
employer has as much right to the pro-
fhction of his legal rights as either of the
a3asses of laborers, union and non-union.
1T Is not true thatthe courts take the
side. OF the employer the side of capital
las is reiterated BY political agitators.
MITCH is heard against the courts as exer-
cising wrongful government by injunction
and in labor-capital disputes, granting in
functions to Deprive labor Of it's rights
Action is. only restrained until the law
definitely determines the rights of those
in dispute under the law. The govern
ment has, through the courts, enjoined
big capitalistic combinations from int err
ference with the rights of the. people
Railway mergers, beef trusts and others
have not been exempt from Injunction.
There would be very great simplifica-
tion of the labor-capital situation and no
room for Misunderstanding, if organized
labor were incorporated in It's several
divisions and liables;to sue and be sued
In England some Of the larger labor
unions are incorporated and take into the
courts all questions of violation of con-
tract, etc., and abide by the judicial deter
mination, not suspending work a single
hour pending the decision of the cause. AS
rational method Of avoiding costly
strikes and locl1outs this is certainly
most commendable.' It fixes responsibility
upon labor as we'll as capital, which is as
1t ought to be. Our, labor unions have no
such responsibility, although it would
surely be for labor's advantage to volun-
tarlly assume such responsibility.

The war between the cattle men and

good argument for the government to ad-
minister strictly the public domain that

be leased in definite amounts, and certain
tracts should be set aside for different
sorts of animals. The number of head
grazed on a given tract should also be
limited. The grass of the plains is worth

FARMERS MEETINGS.

Public Addresses by q. M. Gates in
Johnston, Cumberland, Sampson and
Wayne.
Bro. H. M. Gates, of Alamance
County, will attend County Alliance
meetings at the following times and
places, and address the public on
matters affecting the welfare of the
farmers:
Smithfeld, Johnston County, Tues
day, October 7th.
McMillan's Chapel, Cumberland
County, Wednesday, October 9Th.
Salemburg, Sampson County,
Thursday, October 9th.
Grantham's Store, Wayne County,
Saturday, October 18th.
Bro. Gates will also make an ad-
dress at Salemburg on the night be-
fore the meeting of the Sampson
County Alliance, to-wit, Wednesday
night, October 9Th, as well as to the
Alliancemen and the public general
ly on Thursday.
Every farmer who can possibly do
so should make an effort to hear Bro.
Gates. He is not only a thoughtful
speaker, but an entertaining one, and
the "yarns" that he tells are in them
selves worth going all the way to
hear, as those who have heard him at
the State Alliance will testify.
Remember that the public-men,
women and children, whether mem
bers of the Alliance or not-are ask
ed to attend.
We earnestly hope that Progress
sive Farmer readers in the sections
named will get their neighbors to go
out and hear Bro. Gates. He will
have something to say worth saying
and he will say it in a way that will
make you glad of the opportunity of
hearing him.

Announcement to Farmers.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
As has previously been announced
in The Progressive Farmer, the Office
of the State Business Agent of the
Farmers Alliance has been removed
to Raleigh and located at number 105
West Martin Street, in the Academy
Nof Music building, where l shall be
glad to see the brethren when in Ra-
leigh. Martin is the street that leads
from the Union Depot to the post
Office. Make my Office headquarters
when you are in the city.
1t was deemed advisable to remove
the Business Agents office to this
place because of the fact that Ra-
leigh is a large business center with
wholesale and retail houses in almost
every line, and enjoys fine railroad
facilities, so that l can reach and
serve the brethren quicker and bet
ter than | have been able to do here
tofore. As I am now situated, / have
the advantage of giving personal at
tention to the filling of any order
for anything that you may want to
buy in this city, and can forward or
ders to manufacturers and wholesale
houses in other cities as heretofore
or more quickly. With the increased
facilities that l now enjoy the Agen-
cy should do an increased business.
At the last meeting of the State
Farmers Association / was endorsed
for Business Agent for that Associa-
ton, therefore in addition to filling
orders for Alliancemen and ex-Al-
liancemen, l will fill orders for mem
bers of the State Farmers Associa-
ton.
Let me hear from you when you
wish to purchase anything, and let
us together endeavor to build up the
business of the Agency to it's former
POSITION. You want to save money
and l want to help you to save it;
send me your orders and I will prove
to you that I can.
