The Council met on Wednesday last and by
resolution lifted the embargo on the churches.
Don't fail to be present at the Rifle Tourna
ment to come off in this place on the 22d inst.
The Spying Election is upon us, but the
small-pox has knocked the bottom out of
politics.
It is really astonishing what an interest
some people take in the welfare of the tax
payers. Bosh ! •
The juveniles, and children of a larger
growth, indulge in the reprehensible ,practice
of snow balling.
Several eases of .small-pox are reported in
Mapleton. They have so far been all confiued
to one family.
Out upon the vile contagion 1 Every man
you ask has no money, and lays it at the door
of the small-pox.
Any amount of little bills, and some big
ones, to pay and no funds. Charge to the
small-pox account.
Master Frank Campbell, son of our esteemed
friend, Rev. Mr. Campbell, of this place, is a
page in the State Senate.
There has been tip-top sleighing for a week
past, and the lovers of Artic pleasures have
been making the most of it.
Go in, lemons, if you do get squeezed. There
is going to be a vacancy in the post office.—

Business Is buffering frightfully. Merchants

In Hollidaysburg, on Saturtlny last, Judge
Dean sentenced ten persons to the penitentiary.
A pretty good delegation from one county.
Mifflin county really wants the Penitentiary
located down there. Oh, no, Dad Frysinger,
you can't come that load of Stackpoles over
us.
The avenues leading to an early grape have
often been opened by a cough or cold. Thous
ands have been cured - and saved by Dr. Bull's
Cough Syrup.
The sanitary arrangements now extant ough t
to be sufficient to prevent the spread of the
disease without further prohibition of public
assemblages.
That interview between the JOURNAL repor
ter and one of Huntingdon's physicians. pub
dished last week, caused many a reader to
'smile a smote."
The Pacific Express was about nine hours
behind time, at this point, on Thursday of last
week, owing to the prevalence of a heavy
snow storm on that day.
The whole number that have died of small
pox, since its debut in this pla , e, is fourteen,
counting those who died at Altoona and Pat
terson. A sad, sad exhibit.
The Penitentiary Bill is moving along. It
is astonishing what a number of counties want
to appropriate it since our Senator has had
the pluck to make it a probable success.
A pauper named John Coffee, who had been
nursing Robert Hawn, the boy sent to Shirleys
burg, from this place, two or three weeks ago,
died of variQloid on Monday morning last.
There are people is Huntingdon, we learn,
who have not food enough to last them from
one day to another. People must not starve.
In Heaven's name extend the band of charity.
As a designer and manufacturer - of hand
some fancy boxes, Miss Jennie M'Cullocb, of
this place, stands without a rival. She dis
plays great taste both in their style and finish.
About all there is in politics just now is to
secure one set of fools to elect another set,
and after the election it is pretty hard to de
termine whether the ins or outs are the biggest
fools.
Our friend. W. P. Rudolph, esq., has opened
a shirt manufactory in the rooms above the
post office. where he will be happy to receive
the orders of those wanting good and cheap
shirts.
"Vaccinate that corner, gentlemen." is how
policemen put it on Sunday morning when
trying to disperse a crowd that gathered at
the corner of Sixth and Washington streets.
And they "vaccinated."
Two Altoona boys, named Geo. Hockenberry
and Benjamin Burkholder, were given quarters
in Fort Irvin, in this place, on Friday last, for
breaking open a car containing poultry, in the
vicinity of Birmingham.
The diversity of opinion in regard to closing
up the churches is such that no good can come
of it. We, therefore, suggest that the churches
be opened. With the present sanitary measures
there is very little risk to run.
Illustrated sale bills a specialty at the JOUR
iv.&t. Job Rooms. We have the largest variety
of "cuts," for this kind of printing, to be found
in any country office in the State. Sale bills
printed at an hour's notice, and as cheap as
the cheapest. tf.
Our friend, R. J. Graves, D. D., formerly of
Saxton, who has been spending the IVinter iu
Philadelphia,as the Financial Agent of William
and Mars College, bat, gune to Sharon, Pa., to
visit his friends. lie will return to Philadel
phia about the first of March.
Our farmer friends can now come to town
with perfect safety. The small-pox is abating,
and the few houses where the disease still
exists are so carefully guarded that the in
mates have no opportunity of leaving them
even had they the inclination to do so.
3. Stiles Jenkins, of this place, was on the
ill fated Metropolis when she went down, off
Cape Hatteras, ou Thursday of last week. His
friends here were promptly informed, by tele
graph, of his safety. lie was goin. to Brazil
to labor on the proposed new railroad. We
congratulate him.
We are gratified to note that D. C. Patterson,
esq., of Ennisville, this county, bas been elected
Superintendent of Public Instruction of Wayne
county, Nebraska. Mr. Patterson is a grail' tte
of Eastman Business College, and is fully corn
petent to discharge the duties of the position
to which he has been chosen.
Res_ M. P. Doyle, who bas so ably and suc
cessfully filled the pulpit of the U. B. church
in this place, for several years past, we are
aorry to learn has been transfered to some
point in Juniata county, by the action of the
U. B. Conference, recently held at East Cone
rnaugh. Rer. Ellis has been named as Rev.
Doyle's successor.
Stiles Jenkins has been interviewed, by a
Times reporter, and told all he saw and all he
did during the breaking up of the Metropolis.
His "having been a midshipman in the Con
federate Navy" is putting it a little strong, as
Stiles was only - 8 years old when the war broke
out and 13 when it closed rather youthful
to "sail the seas over."
Do our patrons ever think, as they read the
JOURNAL these bitter cold nights, at theircom
fumble fire-sides, that the publishers might
need a few dopars—just a few—to help pay
hands and paper bills? If they did we think
we wowld occasionally, say once in a month
or so, receive a happy reminder in the shape
of a greenback or two.
Seventeen days were consumed by the
Auditors of this county in preparing the An
nual Statement, and they worked early and
late to complete the job within that time It
generally takes eight or ten days to do this
work, and we are really astonished at not
seeing a table of figures in the Local News
showing how much inure it cost the county
this year than in former years. Brother
Lindsay, that was certainly an oversight.
Advertisers will bear in mind that the cir
culation of the JOURNU, exceeds that of any
other paper iu the county by several hundred,
and that its patrons are generally of the better
class, comprising ruerchants,, business men,
mechanics, farmers, and those whose patronage
is desirable to every person engaged in any
and every branch of trade. It you want to get
the worth of your money avail yourselves of
the superior facilities offered by the use of its
columns. tf.
• Owing to the ordinarce forbidding thk open
ing of the churches still being in forcO, Chief
of-Police Westbrook, with a couple of his
subordinates, On Sunday morning last, took
up their positions in front of the Catholic
church and prevented members of that con
gregation from entering the building. Father
Murphy was considerably excited, and spoke
earnestly, f,r several minutes, from a position
inside the gate. The policemen were simply
doing their duty; and they did it well.
';The JOURNAL throws out the intimation
that there are "rats" among the bridge builders
ant other contractors of the county."—Local
News. We were of the opinion that the closing
of the churches would have a bad effect, but
we had not the remotest idea that in the space
of three weeks our friend Lindsay would so
tar forget his former religious training as to
pen a deliberate falsehood. We didn't say or
intimate "that there were "rats" among the
bridge builders," and no one knows it better
than you do. Open the churches, and save
that man.
For some time past the farmers in a certain
locality in Perry county, have been suffering
from the depredations of thieves, who raided
their smoke-houses and carried off large
quantities of meat. The other day a farmer
had the misfortune to lose one of his colts by
death, and when taking the skin off the ani
mal the idea struck him that l.e would trim
une of the hind quarters and hang it up in his
meat house. He did so, and the same night
the quarter of cAt disappeared, since which
time the thief has no doubt been feasting on
equine steak.
There seems to be a little trouble in the
greenback organization in this place, growing
out of dissatisfaction among a few of the
members at th • ticket recently nominated.—
We understand that a corporal's guard of the
dissatisfied ones met on Saturday night and
attempted to upset the nominations, but their
efforts were nipped in the bud. The citizens
of this place, irrespective of party, should
meet at the Court House, at an early day, and
select honest and capable men for the various
offices that are to be filled at the approaching
bordugh election. Will some one move in th.
matter ?
Saturday last was "Ground Hog Day," and
if that venerable animal was able to get through
the snow he had an opportunity to see his
shadow, but then for the last year or two he
has been a veritable fraud. As we passed a
neighbor's house on our way home, on Friday
evening last, we heard an urchin singing :
Will the ground hoc ,- come to day, ma maw • ?
. Will the ground Lo; come to day ?
I saw him in my dreams last night
Cavort around and play.
He looked about Lim, with a smile
His funny face o'erspread
And said :.'.My shadows follows me,
I think I'll go to bed."
The Port Royal Times, of a week or so ago,
has thiS to say .Of one efotir citizens: "Prof.
A. L. Guss, late .of the fluntit,gdon Globe,
paid our town a visit on Monday last. He is
collecting information in reference to the early
settlers of Juniata county, which he intends
embodying in a lecture,to be delivered at some
fliture time. He tells us that while in search
of facts, lie discovered the remains of an old
Indian fort in Beale township. llc intends
devoting much time and labor on his proposed
lecture, which, when completed, will no doubt
prove both instructive, and furnish a valuable
chapter in the history of the county."
Some Shylock in the Local News, over the
signature of "C," is violently indignant at the
paper=, 'the JOURNAL in particular," because
they dare to speak of the exorbitant rents hi
this place. Some landlords, to their honor
he it said, have reduced their rents, but we
are of the opinion that "C," is not one of then,.
He may say that "he is now renting his houses
for nothing, paying the taxes and insurance,"
etc., but there is no person silly enough to
believe him. For the information of the
gentleman s‘e would say that we have reduced
our price for advertising and job work nearly
one-third of what it was before the panic.
Alexander Mills, who is employed by Mr.
Holtzworth to do rough cores about his store.
was brutally assaulted, on Tuesday evening
last, bet veer 7 and 8-o'clock, by two thieves
who had secreted themselves in the cellar.—
Mills had gone to the cellar to get a sack of
flour for a customer, and being familiar with
the loeatior of everything iu it, he did not
deem it necessary to take a light. He ha , l
made but a few steps in the cellar when he
heard some one say, "knock him dowu," and
in an instant he was struck a heavy blow on
the stomach, with a club, which knocked him
senseless. The noise was heard in the store
row above, and some one going to see what
was the cause of the tumult found Mills lying
on the floor unable to speak. In a little while
he revived, and gave the above version of the
affair. The scoundrels made good their escape.
For some time past money has been missed,
at different times, from a drawer in the Reg
ister and Recorder's office, and neither Mr.
Lightner nor his clerk could account for it.
On Wednesday of last week they set a trap for
the thief, and they had scarcely left the office
for dinn.r, before a boy named John Vanzandt
was in the office and at the drawer containing
the money. He gained admittance to the
building through a rear window, and in order
to reach it he was compelled to crawl up a
board. Mr. Carothers, who had been left in
the office to watch, made an attempt to capture
the boy, but before be could do so be made
his escape through the window by which be
bad entered. Constable Westbrook arrested
him Saturday night and lodged him in jail,
and John has fair prospects of spending the
remaining years of his minority in the House
of Refuge.
STRAWBRIDGE & CI.OIIIIER —By in
serting the new card of Messrs. Strawbridge &
Clothier we desire to add our personal testi
mony to the fact that the promise of this firm's
advertisements are more than fulfilled iu their
lealings with all their immense constituency
of customers the country over. Their estab
lishment, which ten years ago was universally
known in their own city, has since been
steadily growing in prestige and popularity.
until now it has almost a national reputation.
It seems hard to believe that arty business
should have grown during the past few years
of general shrinkage and hard times, but we
are assured on undoubted authority that
Messrs. Strawbridge & Clothier's business is
far larger than before the panic of 1873, and
is steadily growing with every year. An is
terestang sight may be witnessed almost any
fine day y spending a half-hour in their es
tablishment and observing the smooth and
systematic manner in which immense quantities
of goods are distributed, and great crowds of
customers promptly and carefully waited on
by those who know.
We are reliably informed that they have
customers not only in every county of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Mary
land, but in every State of the Union.
Their mail order department enables them
to furnish to .onsumers over the entire coun
try all that m , ..y be needed iu I , y goods and
household supplies, thereby saving them the
expense and time incident to a visit to the
city. Messrs. Strawbridge & Clothier guar
antee that every order filed is at the lowest
p! ice at which the goods are sold that ..fty
over the counters. The great convenience and
economy of this system of obtaining supplies
cannot be oveF-estimated.
SOMEMING NEW. —We are under ob
14.7ations to our liberal hearted friend, C. H.
Anderson, csq., proprietor of the Ardenbeiin
Iron stone Works, fur a pair of Cuspadores,
handsome in design and of beautiful finish,
manufactured at his Works. Our friend An
derson employs skilled workmen and conse
quently no inferior article is turned out at his
establishment. The Ardenheim stone water
pipe is taking precedence over all others, and
orders are coming in so rapidly that the pro
prietor finds it difficult to fill them. We are
pleased to know that this enterprise is meet
ing with the success which it deserves.

SPoRTING NOTES.—
Scour up your rifieg and have them in goo I
order for the tournament on the 221 inst.
A party of hunters, on Saturday last, traveled
Warrior Ridge, from this place to the Lime
Kiln Hollow, without routin,x a fox or seeing
a track ; not even a cotton tail was visible
over that long stretch.
Three Blair county marksmen have ch•il
lenged a like number of Ebensburg marksmen
to a match, for $5O a side, to take place in
Altoona on the 22d inst. No account of their
acceptance or refusal has been published.
A bill to permit fishing with nets has been
reported favorably in the Senate. As far as
this locality is concerned there is no use in
passing such a law, for the law prohibiting
such mode of fishing has been violated with
impunity.
A hog, said to weigh SOO pounds, was shot
for, at Lewistown, on Thursday and Friday
last, and was won by Peter Wertz, of Reeds
vide, wild made a2i inch string. The dis
tance was sixty yards, off hand, three shots to
the string. That is pretty fair shooting. We
will be pleased to have Mr. Wertz, and all the
other crack shots in Mifflin county present at
the Rifle Tournament in this place on the 22d
inst.
On Friday last John Morninzstar, of this
place, caught a large red fox on the south
side of Warrior Ridge, where it had been
chased by dogs. Owing to the deep snow it
was unable to travel with much speed, and
when Mr. Morningstar came up to it it was
stuck fast, and submitted to its capture with
out much effort to get away. On the same
day George Hrfright caught one on what is
known as "Point Hill," under similar circum
stances.
We understand that there will be quite a
large number of marksmen, from a distance,
preset.t at the Rifle Tournament to come oil
in this place on the 22d inst. We are informed
by those h ring the matter in charge that all
necessary arrangements have been completed
to make the tournament a success. We are
requested to extend special invitations to
Blair and Cambria counties crack shots. Those
persons who have a hesitancy about coming
ou account of the epidemic that has been pre
railing here can rest assured that there is no
danger to be apprehended from it. The dis
ease has about run its course, and all infected
houses are rigidly quarantined.
At a pigeon spoofing match, which came off
at Bedford, one day last week, there was some
terrible bad shooting done. In order that our

The Parent of Insomnia.
The parent
.of insomnia or wakefulness is,
in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach.
Good dige4tion gives sound sleep, indigestion
interferes with it. The brain and stomach
sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms
of a weak state of the gastric organs is a dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain.
Invigorate the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable to
mineral sedatiVek and pow-erful narcotics
which, though they may for a time exert a
soporific influence upon the brain, soon cease
to act, and invariably injure the tone of the
stomach. The BitterS on the contrary, restore
activity to the operations of that all important
organ, and their beneficient influence is re
fleeted in sound sleep and a tranquil state of
the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is
likewise given ,o the action of the liver and
bowels by its use. ifeb.l-lm.
A CERTAIN HEADACHE CURE.—If you suffer
from sick or nervous headache, morning sick
ness or neuralgia, go to your druggist and get
a ten cent trial pack of Dr. Heisley's Victor
Headache Powders, or J. R Heisley & Co.,
Salem, N. J., will mail them post paid. A sin
gle powder actually cures the most distress
ing cases in ten minutes. It is purely vege
table, entirely harmless, a physician's discov
ery and we guarantee it to do 411 we claim.
You can get the 50 cent packs or the 10 cent
trial size at J. H. Black & Co. in Huntingdon,
and at all other first-class druggists every
where. Convince yourself. [jan2G-ly

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE,
EDITOR JOURNAL :—What is wrong with the
people of our town? can't we have a re
spectible pestilence without fighting about it?
Every one knows the town is good ou a fight,
on every subject which cal's forth the opinions
of our tenus, Cbristnas, Buddhas, Zoroasters,
Solons, &c., down to the little dogs, whose
ambition does not get above a rat; but it is
really appalling to see the amount of time and
ink wasted in proving, "that it is and it is
not," "that it was and it was not,"—what?
chicken-pox, hog-pox, small-pox, confluent
small-pox, varioloid, and those big things the
doctors said, "varidognoses," I suppose they
weant the very small-pox all the time. Why
we are alarming all the country. It has been
asserted to me, that two thousand peeple have
died here in the last two weeks. When
travelling, if you want all of a railroad car to
yourself, say you are from Huntingdon. If
the ticket station is uncomfortably crowded,
intimate you are from Huntingdon, and im
mediately you have all the room in the build
ing. When you stop at a hotel, if you wish
to he, "monarch of all you survey," register
from Huntingdon. We will hava to stop this
nonsense or fence the town in. The course
the JOURNAL, has pursued is approved by every
one, and Dr Ballautyne's ability, in discover
ing the true nature of the disease, and his in
dependence in proclaiming it, in the face of a
storm of opposition, raised by the greed and
gain party, has added a laurel to his brow,
and sent his name all over the commonwealth.
But for you, gentlemen, this terrible scourge,
might have hung black crape on every door
knob in Huntingdon.
But what is the matter with Rev. Riddle?
He wants to tight some one, apparently the
Board of Health. The town council did what
was right, in passing an ordinance to protect
the health of the town, and the Board of Health
would not be true to their duty, did they not
enforce it.. Churches are a good thing, and
the right to assemble therein. and worship
God as one pleases is a "true bill," but when
there is a horrible, deadly, contagious disease
raging in our midst, is it common sense, or
would we be fulfilling the duty we owe to our
maker and our fellow man, to gather there in
large congregations, when almost under the
eaves of the church men are dying with this
horrible disease ? Come, Brother Riddle, you
don't know it all, you say. in your Local News
sermon, "When did the Jews suspend worship
on account of leprosy." Don't. you, and every
one know, that the old Jews were a set of
tie tthen barbarians, that they did not possess
one spark of humanitarian principles, and
when a Jew was afflicted with leprosy, instead
of a hospital to receive him, or some sympathy
of humanity to comiort him, he was driven
like a dug into the wilderness to die? Do not
insult the intelligence and humanity of the
nineteenth century, by making comparisons
between this and the nation of iiihuman bar
barians, who a few thousand years ago made
the "Land which flowed with milk and honey"
red with blood streaming from the cut throats
of women and little children. But then, if
you are right, and every one is wrong. as you
seem to think, and the Board of Health should
not use the ordinary means that God has
given them to be used trusted, "iv a grave and
unforseen emergency," and as you appear to
know it all, they should immediately adopt
your plan, if you can prove to them that you
hold the proper credentials, for being a min
ister of the Gospel, sett into the world to
preach, snakes can bite you, and coal oil lamps
burst all over you, and they will neither hurt
or burn you, just see Luke 11 chapter 9 and 10
verses. We don't mean to trifle with those
things. We have a sublime reverence for the
teachings of the New Testament, but at this
day and date matters of faith are becoming a
little doubtful, and the proof of facts demanded,
and as Christ has told us his ministers are to
be known by certain signs. Can you, Brother
Riddlef fulfill the command given in Matthew
it) chapter, 7 and 8 verses, "As ye go preach,
saying the kingdom of Heaven is at hand,
heal the sick, cleanse the leper:, raise the dead,
cast out devils," &c? Ifyou can, go immediately
over Hie hill to the hospital and cure those
patients there, and I have no doubt the Board
of Health will submit to your directions im
mediately, but you must not excuse yourself
by saying that those commands were only for
that time and occasion, and that this power
ceased with the individuals to whom it was
given, for if you believe what you preach, you

Yours, very truly,
R. Mc DIVITr.
Thinking it best to exchange views at this
time under proper names, I have, in the legi
timate and proper way, ascertained the real
name of the "Citizen" who bad an article in
the JOURNAL of week before last, and in the
Globe of last week. While reciprocating his
frieedship, as expressed in the Globe, I think
it proper to call his attention to the fact that
he has not furnished his "authority" for his
statement in the JOURNAL, alluded to in my
note. He is mistaken in stating that "Mr.
Wilcox's physician assured me that the
disease was not small-pox, and that then there
was nut the slightest danger." Even at that
time there was no little alarm, and I could not
go to see Mr. Wilcox conscientiously without
ceasing for the time to perform my duty to
others, as I had a strong suspicion then that
the case might prove to be small-pox. But
some persons who blamed me for not visiting
hire, afterwards blamed 'me for preaching,
when they had passed from extreme reckless
ness to extreme caution. It is not true, as he
states, that a majority of my members pro
tested against my preaching, but it is true,
which he questions, that a committee of four
was appointed to exclude infected persons,
and that the church was properly ventilated,
and fumigated. I did not cease to preach
till thz church was locked up by the Chief-of-
Police, and then submitted under protest, for
at that time we were doing more for the public
health, and the care of our members than was
even attempted by the Town Conucil. As to
those "fiendish" persons, to whom he alludeq
in the Globe, whatever may be true in regard
to his own church, I am not aware that any
attended our church so utterly abandoned and
reprobate. As to his other remarks it may
suffice to say, that notwithstanding liabilities
incurred, from "infection, the mistake of an
architect, or a misplaced switch" it is still
true that trusting in God, and using proper
nietais, missionaries still go abroad, and God's
people continue to worship and travel. When
God does not save them from calamity, he
saves t em iu it. This gentleman's argument
proves too much, and would suspend public
worship for an indefinite period, and might
leave it suhject to the will of those who wor
ship little in public, and still less, if possible,
in private. Ills allusion to the Savior's "cast
ing himself down from a pinnacle of the
temple" is very far fetched, when applied to
church-going in a town of 4000 inhabitants,
with only C 5 cases of small poi._
JLSTICES' COURTS.
En. jOGRNAL—Dear Sir:—As you seem to
champion the cause of the poor man—and, by
the way, that includes nearly all of us—l sup
pose you will give me space to advance ac idea
which I think will be for the benefit of the
poor. The idea is this : Let the Legislature
be petitioned to pasta a law establishing Jus
tices' Courts. in which trifling misdemeanors
can be settled, and thus save the large sums
usually expended by taking such cases before
the county courts. This plan ..would enlarge
the powers of Justices and raise the standard
of the office, as no incompetents would likely
be chosen to such positions. It would cer
tainly save hundreds, if not thousands of dol
lars, to the county annually, and the only
reason l have beard argued against such a law,
is that the lawyers could not Improperly sup
ported, but I think that a lame objection, as
they could go out pettifogging, get some fresh
country air, and board out their fees if need
be. As the poor have to bear all the expenses
in lawing this plan would be a great saving to
them and their witnesses also.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you are like the boy's
dad, vtho "knowed everything," and can see
the subject without looking through a lawyer's
spectacles, please let us hear from you. We
have a great amount of legislature, and usually
of little benefit to the people, therefore I think
the passage of such a law would largely bene
fit the masses. TAX PAYER.
A WORD TO LABORING NEN.
EDITOR JOURNAL—Ify Dear Sir :—Allow me to
thank you for the kieduess you have bestowed up
on myself, as well as our just cause. You are the
only editor in your town that has had the manly
fordtude to stand up and proclaim to the world
that which you knew to be right and just—you
are the only editor in this county who has opened
to us the caimans of his paper in order that we
might vindicate our cause. In you the laborer
his a friend ; and now a word to my co-laborers.
There has been an effort inaugurated to place
capital above labor. It is assumed that labor is
available only in connection with capital. That
nobody labors unless somebody owning capital
hires him to labor. This assumed, it is next to con
sider whether capital shall control labor ant force
it to work, as were the slaves of the South ; and
farther this assumes that whosoever is once a la
borer is fixed in that condition for life. "Labor is
prior to and independent of capital." Capital is
only the fruit of labor, and could never have ex
isted unless labor had first existed. Labor is the
superior of capital, and deserves much the higher
consideration. apical has its rights, which must
be protected. A few men own capital, and these
avoid labor themselves and is it presumed that
these few shall dictate the price of labor to the
many ? It is not forgotten that many persons
mingle their own labor with capital, that is, they
labor with their own hands and also hire others t
help them ; but this is not a distinct class, and
they have rights that most be protected also.
Shall labor be brought to such a condition that he
who labors cannot earn sufficient to feed, clothe,
and educate his family ? It must not be forgotten
that many men of high social and professional
standing a few years back were hired laborers. A
prudent, penniless beginner in life labors for wages
awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or
land for himself, then labors on his own account
another while, and at length hires another new
beginner to help him. This is the just and pros
perous system which opens the way to all. No
men living are more worthy to be trusted than
those who toiled up from poverty. Los the labor
er be aware of his political power, and let h m ex
ercise it while he has an opportunity lest the door
be shut against him, and new disabilities be pla
ced upon Dim and his liberty lost forever.
The time has now arrived for action. Through
what means shall we bring this before the people?
Shall it be through an exclusivelabor reform move
ment, and thus exclude all the ousiness classes,
many of whom have spru^g from the lowest sta
tion of life and who have toiled for many years
before they accuaimulated enough to start in bus
iness ? Have they torfeited their right to the hon
or of labor because they have saved perhaps a few
hundred or thousand dollars from their honest toil
by which they were enabled to enter sore other
sphere in life ? No, no ! The business and laboring
classes have one common enemy, and it will take
their combined effort to crush it. Then, let us
stand upon the same foundation that we may he
the more able to fight it, for a house divided against
itself cannot stand. Let us be thoughtful ; there
is talent required as well as muscle, and where the
two are combined see the advantage! We suc
ceeded last fall, under the moot trying circumstan
ces, in organizing the Greenback Labor Reform
Party, and without an organ and with all the spleen
and venom that could be poured upon our heads
by political tricksters and some of the party or
gans, we succeeded beyond our own expectations
and polled a most creditable vote.
Cannot our aims be accomplished through this
organization ? Surely it can ! Our object is to re
vive business and put more money into circulation,
in order that labor will be in greaterdemand. And
with the power that we already hold in Congress,
we can repeal the resumption act. We can also
prohibit the capitalists of the East from getting
subsidies to establish steamboat lines to Europe.
The Government has given them about all they
can expect by way of building railroads for them,
hence, they are turning their eyes to new fields of
plunder. We can last, but ;not least, cause the
Government to order in its bonds, and in lieu of
them issue U. S. legal tender notes. This will be
the grand crowning point in bettering the condi
tion of labor. When these bonds are paid off and
cancelled, the money received in lieu thereof, will
be obliged to find new fields for investment. Then
you will see factories resume work, new mines will
be developed, new farms will be brought under cal
tivation, new railroads will be built, new steam
packet lines will be established to carry our pro
ducts to foreign markets, and when the capitalists
once see that the people will not sit down quietly
and allow them to plunder the government at wit:,
they must then turn their canital to private enter
prises by which labor must be employed. Our aim
and object being to better our condition in lite.
let us work together that we way be the better pn -
pared to meet one common enemy.

MARKLESBU.G, PA., Feh., 4th, 1878.
MR. RIDDLE REVIEWED,
MR. EDITOR :--I had fully decided in my own
mind to tetire from the newspaper contest, but as
my attention has been directed to one or two re
cent communications from Mr. Riddle in which he
seems determined to "push the war into Africa,"
and toilow with unrelenting fury the Borough au
thorities for refusing to open the churches, and
all others who happen to differ with him in opin
ion, I leel it my duty as a citizen to interpose,
and, on the well recognized principle that so long
as he "blows" I aw privileg,Kl to 'strike," I pro
pose a brief review,—not of his argument, fur he
presents none—bu of the singular tissue of gla
ring absurdities and senseless generalities with
which his articles abound. The minister of
the gospel, above all others, should be a law-abid
ing citizen. and as such is entitled to respect, so
long as he respects himself, but when he descends
to vilducatiou and abuse he forsakes his proper
calling, and his influence fur good is about at an
end, in that locality at least.
He says "the chtirch,"—and I suppose he means
the churches—only ask "to be let atone in their
appropriate work," and that they ask no favors at
the bands of the State. In reply to this I would
say the churches have from time to time asked and
received such legislation as they received. They
Katie asked fur exemption froth taxation and have
to a very large extent received it. They nave ask
ed and recei,ed special and very rigid enactments
in regard to the disturbance of any religious meet
ing, and fur the protection of their property, &c.
"Neither our National Legislature," he says,
'nor that of any State has ever assumed authority
to suppress public worship. fey any cause" Ito.
This is simply untrue. How is it to-day with To
peka, Kansas, and how was it three years ago with
60buylkill Haven, in Schuylkill county, where the
audiurities not only closed the schools and church
es, but actually fenced in and isolated the town,
requiring the railroad trains to run through it at
tun speed, without stopping?
lie says, "in 1871, I held a successful meeting
in Altoona, while the small-pox was, fur the time,
tar more fatal than here." Here I beg leave to
differ. The fatality in this place has been unpar
al.eled, as I will presenty show. "It came to an
end in about six weeks, ? he says, " with no clos
ing of schools or churches." It is unnecessary to
say that there is no similarity between the two
cases. The physicians reported promptly the ex
istence of the disease, instead of wrangling for
about six weeks amongst themselves as to whether
.t was small-pox or caiceen-pux, and even then,
sad the precautionary measure of closing the
schools and churches been adopted, it might have
ended in bail the time. lie says, "that it is hard
co tell what public opinion is, as many do a great
deal of thinking." Now, it is not at all difficult
fo determine the dritt of public opinion it you will
Luiz a little with the people, and as for the think
ing and talking, if some of us would do inure of
ne I,rmer and less of the latter, it would, perhaps,
oe better for ourselves and for the community.
tie says "Trustees have no legal power either to
Giese a church or hand it over to the civil authori
ties." This is a que-tion for the lawyers; but
there seems to be very little doubt as to the au
thurity of the Borough Council in such case, as is
abundantly evident from the precedents already
cited. lie ad•iits that a considerable number of
his memoers were in favor of closing the church,
and improves the opportunity to administer
summary r:bulte to those who from indisposition
ur inability fail to attend. Perhaps it would be
more in conformity to the duties of a pastor, now
that he has a little leisure, to visit those non-at—
tendants and ascertain from them the real cause
of their absence, taking care at the same time to
preserve a safe distance from any one who was
afflicted with any thing that "might prove to be
.small pox." Ile might in this way perhaps, as
certain what some of them think of his conduct.
"The great majority of our spiritual worship
pers," he says, opposed to it." This -"great
majority" exists oaly in his own fertile imagina
tion, as any one knows who is at all conversant
with the sentiments of our citizens.
But, Mr. Riddle says there have been only nine
deaths, which he seems to treat as a very trifling
matter in comparison with the paralyzation of
uueineas, he cutting off of social communication,
and the unnecessary ansoyance occasioned. Now,
it happened to be thirteen deaths instead of nine,
or about fifty per cent. of thu entire number of
small-pox oases, which is a fatality unparalleled
even in the worst stages. of the disease in our large
cities. One out of every five or six, lam inform
eit, is about the usual average, while here, it has
tieen one out of every two, including some of our
mist and most useful citizens. Ask those stricken
families; those widows, in their bereaved loneli
uess; those children deprived of their parents and
left to the cold charities of the world, and those
heart-broken friends and relatives of the deceased
ones, deprived of the sad pri ilege of visiting them
in their last moments, and administering to their
wants, or even of following their lifeless remains
teethe grave, and there paying the last mournful
tribute of affection to the memory of the lost, or of
tenderly laying them away in their last resting
place,—ask them whether all this is a light mat
ter, however it may be regarded in the estimation
of Mr. Riddle. Is the closing of the churches and
schools a heavy privation compared with that to
which they are called upon to submit?
And now, in behalf of the Borough authorities,
I will o9ly add that their course iu refusing to
open the churches at the present time, is endorsed
oy at least nine-tenths of the citizens of the town,
and as I have not yet seen any thing in the shape
of argument to the contrary, I can see no valid
reason why all good citizens should no join in up
holding and suotair ing them, and hue, instead of
the everlasting fault-finding and grumbling at
those who are endeavoring to discharge their un
paid duties, rendering their burden lighter by a
cheerful obedience. It is customary, and no doubt
justifiable, fur our ministers, especially in the ci
ties, during the hot se soon, to vacate their pulpits
and leave their churches and congregations to take
care of themselves while they spend some six
weeks at some fashionable watering place, and it
this be admissible on the ground that it is aeces
nary for the health of the minister, why should not
the same rule hold good now during the cold sea
sou when not only the health of the minister but
that of the town and community demands it? It
is a very poor rule that will not work both ways.
Is there not enough of vital piety amongst our
church-going citizens to endure this privation for
the public good. Cannot the opportunity be im
proved in a more diligent study of our bibles at
home, and in more of closet communion with our
Father that heareth and seeth in secret. More of
Bible study and less of fashionable church-going
would no doubt make better men and better wo
men of all of us. If the lessons of the Book of
books were heeded, instead of "teaching for doc
trines the commandments of men," it would be bet
ter for christianity, and better for the world. 1
read there the lesson that I would enjoin on others,
of obedience to the higher powers, inasmuch as
"the powers that be, are required of God," and as
a citizen, I must protest against the sweeping de
nunciation and un upported assertions, from time
to time indulged in by Mr. Riddle,as disreputable
to himself and discreditable to us. What opinion
would the outside world entertain of us, were his
insane ravings credited? They would have to say
that we were a community of savages; that we
were under a municipal government more tyran
nical and more cruel than that of Nero, and held
in subjection by a code of laws more bloody the..
that of Draco; that the air was frill of "unmitiga
ted falsehoods" and "lying wonders;" that our
courts of justice were conducted and run in the in
terest of the rumeeliers, and that our town was a
"paradise of fools." Indeed I should not be cur
prised, if this state of affairs continues, within
another week to hear the assertion boldly made
that the Chief of Police was in the habit of arrest
ing the citizens from the country on their way to
marker, confiscating their eggs and butter and con
fining them in the small pox hospital; that the
Board of Health actually seized an old lady, sup
posed to have small-pox, and buried her alive;
that the Burgers had ordered a Catholic Priest to
be publicly whipped tor saying High Mass on
Sunday, and that the Town Council had roasted
and ate a Methodist minister, for refusing to close
his church. I sincerely hope that Mr. Riddle
may be induced to let up a little on this subject,
or it not, if he believes there is reality in the pie
ture which his imagination has wrought, that he
w,ll make haste to leave the doomed city and flee
for his life, tarrying not in all the plains, rn r look
ing behind him, and that he will stand as far from
it as Lot did from Sodom in her evil day.
