Letter from an Old Jarksonian Democrat
of (jreenwood Township.
Near Setev Star Taverx, )
July 20, 1878. J
tig Dear Mr. Edilcr : Since the Speaks
have been in this neck of timber, they have
only a few time experienced weather as
warm as that of the past week. Of course
after such warm weather as ran the mer
cury up to 100, bluod heat, Saturday
night," with all that implies, seems sweeter
than ever. Jt has been ahtojt too warm for
sparking, that is the kind that is done by
the b"ys and girls down here, for you must
know that in the region of the Stars things
are not all like the stars that twinkle, and
twinkle at you, and still you are not twin
kled any nearer. No, no, that isn't the
way down here ; when a girl's eyes twinkle
quite a steady spell at yon, it isn't the twin
kle of the stars that as much as say, So
near you can come to look at me, but you
can't get nearer than a look." The steady
t inkle of the girl's eyes down here means
more than that i she means Jo say, Come
and sit close by my side." Well, that's
what I mean when I say thai it seems too
warm to spark, for who would like to be
pi'ling close up to a web of calico on a
warm night like this. For my part, if I
were young again and had to pass through
sparking comedy, I'd rather sit at one end
i.r a table with the girl at the other ; but
there's no accounting for difference of
taste. Some say that to sit up alongside of
vonr girl, with an arm arunnd her, makes a
man feel as if he had a sort of a property
riplit in her, individual property right; it
would cause you to feel as if you would
like to call her your own. Tou do know
that Old Andy Jackson was a great man for
individual properly right. He was ready to
defend Mrs. Jackson against the whole
world, siugly, or as a body. There wasn't
anything loose, Frencby, or communistic
about him, that makes ro difference whether
it is your girl, or some other fellow's girl
or wife that you sit by. He believed strict
ly in the strictest honesty, and iu the prin
ciple of single possession. Knowing how
Old Andy felt on th possession question,
of one woman, and on the same strict ap
plication as to other possessions, I could
not telp but thinlt how shocked he would
I if he could come to life now, and hear
how a certain set of men in this country
advocate Socialism, or Communism, which
is nothing short of having things in com
mon, which is nothing Lhort of free, love,
Tom Paine and Voltaire infidelity, and an
equal division of the earnings of every man
and woman. Old Andy would liave died be
fore he would have subscribed to such
abominable doctrines as that.
Well, they said down at the Stars to
night, that there are a set of men in this
country now that are organixing to elect
men to office that are denouncing all men
who lielieve in the ownership ot property.
They want to elect men to office to pass
laws that all the earnings of a man shall be
put into a common fund, and then dealt out
by some sort of a government that shall be
a sort of a father to the nation, Just as s
father is father of a family. They expect
to have a fellow from California to come
East, to talk to the people on the subject.
He denounces the right to hold property
by any single individual. It is no new thing
for men to advocate such doctrines that is,
the holding of all things in common, for it
was advocated in days gone by. Kearney,
h dlifornian. calls that freedom. He
doesn't know enough to know what be is
talking about ; he doesn't know that if, to
night, all the roperty in this country, and
all the money were surrendered up to some
sort of a government, that said government
Would be a complete despotism. There
wouldn't be a spark of freedom in it it
would be the most complete despotism im
aginable. If he will take the trouble to
study some if he will learn, he may learn
that five hundred years ago society in Eu
rope was governed a good deal like the way
the Communists talk of governing it. The
Speaks used to govern that way. It was in
Ihe hay days of the Nobility. The country
was divided into districts, and large scopes
of it was owned by a single family They
owned the land, and the cattle and the peo
pie on it. The people on it were not real
slaves, but still their subsistence and habi
tation depended on the will of the head of
th district in which they lived, and they
were subjected to the nobility lor all their
want. His cause was their cause ; they
fought for him whea he wanted fighting
done for his king or for a confederate noble
inan, and in times of peace they tilled the
land and raised catlle for their own sub
sistence, and returned part to the central
family. They could not leave their baili
wick without tho permission of the nobis
man, and his passport wouM pass euch as
he favored through other sections as far as
the lord might be known or respected ; bat
uch a thing as individual ownership out
aide of the central or noble family was not
known. Those were days of the Peudal
governmental but gradually men sprang op
here and there In Europe who believed in
individual money, and property ownership,
iud not general ownership, who gradually
developed a system of covernment till tw
have produced in the New World s nation
called the United States of America, which"
ia the place above all other places in the
world, for individual ownership. Old Andy
was a soldier in the cause for independent
individual action and ownership. For the
government of the Fendal time, Kearney
and his gang would substitute committees
inste&d of families to govern the people.
The Spartans, a tribo of Greeks, tried the
communistic plan of government that is, a
certain bet of them organised a government
of the utmost freedom among themselves.
They were free lovers; they ignored all
such things as family relationship; com
mittees provided lor everything ; there were
no private places among them j committees
provided the victuals; committees took
charge of the children that were born, aud
raised them ; but the incentive to work for
such a common herd of coarse was not
round in itself, aud they resorted to slavery
as the method to provide tbemselvea with
means, and while they exercised the most
unbounded freedom among themselves, thoy
exercised the most absolute control over
the slaves, who were not black people, but
-yc"p. n uenever tne slaves in
creased too rapidly in numbers, or when
they bad too many to employ profitably,
tney would kill them off". They would
mak themselves and go among the slaves
at night aud kill them with as much hilarity
as boys would kill bumble-bees.
The Communists of this country have not
sai l just what their system is to be, only
that all things are to be in common. Just
what Old Ukkory would do with the Com
munists can't be told, but I guess he'd
storm worse than when some mean fellow
slandered his wife It kept his wife busy
a long while to prevent him from shooting
the slanderer. He believed in the one-wife
system, and in the system of government
that gives a man the right to engage in any
business he may choose, and to earn as
much as he can, honestly, and what he gets
di. honestly, he believed in punishment for,
but he didu't believe iu the doctrine that
when a man earns fifty cents be must share
it Tiith some fellow that earns nothing.
Old Andy would have called that a proposal
to steal. If some one had said to him, "Mr.
Jackson, when you earn a dollar you must
divide with me," he would have looked on
him as a robber. It is not hard to conclude
what Old Andy would think of such a man
as Kearney, who, when talking to the peo
ple, tells them, "There are bouses, and rail
roads, and banks ; you built them by your
labor; they are yours ; why don't yon take
them and divide them among yourselves f
Why don't you divide tho land 1" I don't
like to say what Andy would say about a
a fellow who talks such 6tufl" as that.
I'll tell you, boy, if I thought you were
struck with such lalse notions, I would drop
you like a hot cake, and never have any
thing to do with you again. Such doctrine
is the worst kind of political and social
poison Such doctrine, if put into prac
tice, would ruin the country in a few years.
JiiKt to think of it, a man who saves his
earnings to be robbed in that way. They
say that property belongs to all. So it does
to all who earn it, or inherit it, but to none
else. 'The world owes a man a living,"
but a man owes it to his fellow-men that he
makes bis own living, and becomes no
charge on his fellow-men, unless he is un
fortunate, so as to become an object ol
charity, and lor all of such cases the people
tax themselves in every township and
county and State to keep the poor, build
poor houses, and build asylums, and so
forth.
I am talking slout the Communists forc
ing their doctrines. Of course a nun may
be a Communist, and tliiu out his earnings
as much as he pleases, among bis fellows.
But that peaceable Communism is not of
the kind that we are talking about. The
peaceable Communism is of the kind that
the Apostles organised, after Christ ; it is
of the kind that Anauias and Sapphira
joined under the Roman government ; but
the kind I am talking about is the forcible
kind that would make the government a
Cominunii-tic government, just as lot ol
feliows trisd to make the Roman govern
ment a Communistic government, before
the days of the Apostles, but tbe Romans
would not stand their fraud, and arose and
exterminated the whole herd. If the early
Christian communists had attempted any
thing but a peaceable organization, such as
they bad, they would have all been cut off.
Isn't it a high doctrine for a man or set of
men to get up and speak and write in favor
of taking other people's property, nnder
tbe plea that labor built the houses and rail
roads and worked the farms, and therefore
labor should own them f Isn't it a high
doctrine to advocate, that when a man who
saves bis earnings till he can buy a piece of
land and build a house on it, that he must
divide with every other person in the land f
He earned his money, or he inherited his
money that put up the house. He paid the
man that owned the ground ; he paid for
the labor that dug the cellar, that hauled
the stones and other material ; he paid for
the UIor that cut and tawed the limber ;
he paid lor the labor that put the house to
gether ; he paid the plasterer and the painter,
and the amounts of what he paid is the
value of the bouse, and that he paid ; and
now, when all this is done, up steps Mr.
Communist and says, We'll now divide
the value of the house." High doctrine.
that; high enough to make Old Hickory
say, By the Eternal !"
Old Hickory believed in one individual
wife and husband, and the closest family
ties, individual earnings and inheritance,
and individual ownership, that when a man
pays for a thing it is bis. That is what Old
Hickory believed in. He didn't believe in
a common commingling of men and women,
to suit the fancy of the man and women ;
he didn't believe in a common ownership of
property, managed by a central committee
or eovernment ; he didn't believe in a cen
tral committee or government that take all
the children born, to raise and clothe them,
so that the parents could have nothing to
do with them ; he believed in no such false
notions, and the man who does, will never
amount to anything in this or the next
world, unless it be to get to a warmer place.
I'd like to write more now on this sub
ject of Communism, or Capital against La
bor, hut U is late and t'ais letter is Ion;. So,
good night, and look for me at the Fair.

The Altoona Tribnne, of July 17,
says: Un Monday nignt, between 11
and 12 o'clock, a penteelly dressed
man and woman, driving a gray horse
attached to a covered Jenny Land
wagon, stopped their nag in front of
SIc-Cohan'B mill, near town. The man
passed the lines to his fair Dulcinea,
after which he descended and inter
viewed the chicken-coop of Mr. Lind
say, the miller. Having selected a
conple of nice fat pullets, he was
about to pass them into the wagon,
when the sharp report of a revolver
in the hands of James McCahan
caused him to drop the chickens as
though they were hot cakes. Spring
ing into his wagon he started the
horse at breakneck speed in the direc
tion of Altoona. A conple more well
directed bhots brought out the ex
clamation, "Oh, John !" If the owner
of that-wagon will take the trouble
to examine hia property he will very
likely find several holes in the npper
story that were not there whtn 'John'
hired it. This was not this individ
ual's first trip to that hen house, as
almost thirty chickens liave been
taken at different times during the
present summer. 'Whether or not he
will seek pastures new, or rather
somebody else's chicken-coop in the
future, remains to be seen. In the
meantime it would be well for him to
understand that James sleeps with
;one eye open, and his revolver is

Destructive Storm' Last Sabbath.
On Sabbaib tuuruing a storm gener
ated in tbe uoantaiuf this side of Lew
is town, and followed tbe moon tain chain
to Macedonia, where, among tbe peaks
of that region, it divided, a portion
going eastward along the mountain, in
j thft direction of Snider eoonty, and a
portion of it moving oa across tbe
valley in the direction of Tnscarora
mountain, by way of this place.
It struck tbe town about 11 o'clock,
with a great wind, heavy rain, cousid
erable bail, and load poals of thunder
and vivid flashes' of lightning. Two
bolts of lightning came down in the
village, tbe one frightened tbe Presby
terian congregation, tbat Was at wor
ship, because of its proximity to the
church, having struck Mr. Allen's
stable, tbat is quite near to tbe church.
The stable was not greatly damaged,
but a hog in a sly at its side, owned by
tbe widow Leib, was killed. Tbe other
bolt struck the spouting of tbe Jacobs
j Hou.-e, but did little damage to tbe
spouting, as it proved itself a gond
conductor and led the fluid to tbe
: ground.
j Thus far the storm bad come from a
I direction almost due north, but after
I passing this place it bore off eastward
to tbe Knisely larm, adjiniug Uuioo
Cemetery, where its deliverance of
wiud, bail and Tnlu played bavoc with
the corn ; aud thence tbe course was
almost in a bed line to tbe Tuscarora
mountain by way of Vandyke Station.
Tbe west w:ug cf the storm was ex
tended far enough in its sweep to catch
trees and fences on the Kyle farm, and
on the Sbuman farm, where Mr Sar
tain lives. A door and several win
dows of tbe house of the latter were
blown in aud the bouse almost deluged
with water. The family at the time
were attending preaching in Mr. Sber
rard's church in this place. The same
wing twisted off trees, leveled fences,
and damaged the corn in the vicinity of
Mexico, and at Porter Thompson's
place it played the freak of deluging
th$ house with water, while the family
were at church at Tbompsontown, and
thus on, the right win continued its
work of breaking down com, leveling
fenoes, and uprooting trees, across the
Sieber farm below Mexico, where it
so wrecked a wheat stick that it will
have to be partly rebuilt. Tbe Uart
mau aud Henry Kloss farms came in for
a share of tbe devastation of the right
wing. The rain did cousideratle dam
age to tbe fine house of Henry Kloss.
The furthest sweep of the left wing
of tbe storm reached a cornfield of Jo
seph Adams, wbicb was great. y broken '
down and considerably riddled by bail.
A couple of bay stacks on tbe lletrick
farm, cultivated by Mr. Christian Sie
ber, were partly torn down, and a good
deal of timber was broken.
The center of the storm passgd from
the Kuisely farm through a part of the
'Swamp," blowing down fences, level
itig corn and riddling it with hail. En
countering the barn of David Auker,
it blew in tbe large doors, and lifted
the roof and threw it clear off tbe
building, thus exposing the grain inside
to tne drenching rain. Pasting cn it
struck the ridge east of Mexico, felling
great quantities of timber. Passing
over the ridge it struck tbe valley on
the M. 11. Keshoor farm, and there lev
eled about 500 panels of fence, up
rooted trees, ka. llail broke glass in !
Ihe windows ot anayke s store, i tie
large doors in tbe baru of Daniel Kloss
were broken in, but for some rcasou
not known the roof on the barn was
not lifted off. Of course a full per
oeotage of devastation to fences and
trees took place on the Klcss farm.
Tbe bouse of I. 1. Wallis was struck.
It is a substantial stone buttling, but
with all of its solidity its roof yielded
to the wind and was carried eff, expos-
in it srprr tliilf ill th tiiii'iliiit til the
,orrents of rain lbt fwed the blast.

trees were uprooted, and a fuil instal
ment of damages to femes followed i
dam1? to corn an d standing oms of j
Ciune included. Tbe barn on Dr. i
Atkinsi n's farm was unroofed, and the '
It-Hint lmue considerably damaged,
and fence, trees and crops, as on other
form, considerably damaged. Tbenee
tbe storm cro,.-eJ the river, aud in its
course to tbe mountaiu it picked up tbe
Vandke station bouse and carrieJ it
into an adj'iiniug field, and theoce Iroin
the station the storm passed to Tusca
rora mountain, where it spent its force
and was beard of aud seen no more.
Tbe dainsging part of the storm at
no time was over a half mile wide, ex
cepting when it spread itself from Jo
seph Adams' place to tbe Sliuman farm.
The damage amounts to thousands ofj
dollars
Murray's boarders in the Jacobs
House were unconscious of the ftict
that tbe rain water spout had con
ducted a bolt cf lightning to the
ground, thereby sparing them a scene
of consternation that would have en
sued if the lightning had entered the
building.
Despatches fro 31 all parts of the
country report storms, sucb as passed
across Ibis county on Sunday, from
Shade to Tnscarora mountains, by way
of Mifflin and Van Dyke s'ation, and
that is why the weather cooled.
