ANrEcEDEN rs OF WELDON.

MOBILE, ALA, Feb. 16.-Wm. Fl
Weldon, who attempted to Kill Gov,
Packard, was sent to Mobile last Octo.
Der, recommended by a member of the
house fClaftine & Co., to take service
with P. II. Pepper s. Co., the wealthy
DRY goods house here. He was engaged
by Mr.. Pepper, and remained in bis
employ until about ten days since.
After quitting his Situation he took to
drinking, probably on that account,
coupled with little love matter, and
did some wild things. Last Sunday he
informed one Of his acquaintance that
he had already secureda room at Man
dioh's restaurant for that purpose. Th.
last seen of Weldon at Pepper & Co.'s
was on the 18th, at II A. NJ, when he
called in and received a settlement OF
his account. He then told the.cashier
"good-by," and, on being asked if he
was going to remain here, he. replied,
mo-" that he had something else on
hand and was about to leave the city.
All those who knew him here say
that his resolution, if resolution it was,
must have been taken over the drinking
table and with those who happened
with those who happened with him BIT
the time. While here he told his friends
that his father was Lutheran miniAtef
in Philadelphia. He was never known
TO take any part or interest in politics on
one side or the other, One,of Weldon's
acquaintance is willing to swear that
Weldon has not been in condition of
responsibility fer more than q. week and
can prove this fact by other respectable
parties.

points from him which he wishes to

stated by Weldon he will be induced to

With reference to the wound OF Weldon
DIR. Smythe says that the ball entered
about two inches above the elbow and
came out about three inches below
The wound is flesh wound, and whih
it is serious tits not considered by any

that he is satisfied that Weldon on

nate Mr.. Packard was under the intiu-
ence of absinthe and bad whisky.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Reduction Not the Remedy.

Editor Of Frostba4rg lining Journal.
i noticed an article in the weekly
AUeQa2licN of the I'd of February in
which the editor undertook to show
the miners how they could earn more
money at 55 cents than at IS cents
per ton. The solution was very easy;
it was simply to produce more coal.
We do not need the AHcganiaa to tell
us this; We are aware of the fact. We
contend that it is not worth IS cents
to dig ton of coal, and that we are
the best judges, as we know it by ex
perience; the AUego1lon does not.
Tie AUegonion says we are selfish,
and want all the profits of the coal
trade ourselves. We deny this, but
we do want fair days wages for a
tair days labor, and think we are en-
titled to it. We don't want to be like
"dumb driven cattle we are willing
to work, but not willing to work for
nothing; or, in other words, we do not
believe in knocking the life out to keep
the life in. If | should say that an
editor-of the AUcganian for instance
was selfish because he charged GER
tain prices for his paper advertising,
etc, | would expect to be laughed at
and set down as an ignoramus, and
certainly would deserve to be SO treat
ed | claim to know the worth Of
digging a ton of coal as we'll as any
editor knows the value of his labor.
The laborer is worthy of his hire
The plea of "lost trade is a very
thin pretext tor demanding a reduc-
ton. If reduction were the sovereign
remedy for hard times, there ought
to be good times in every mining
region in the United States outside Of
this, because they have all been re-
duced from 80 to 50 per- cent. in the
last three years. We can see how it
has operated in all other mining reg
ions, but We cannot discover where it
has in one instance benefited the
miner. In the Anthracite region the
miners have been compelled to submit
to reduction after reduction to as
much as 40 per cent. and we know
that they have not been benefited in
| the least The same is true of the
bituminous regions of Western Penn
sylvania and also Of Ohio Indiana
and Illinois. | think this demon
strates clearly that a reduction in
wages does not increase the demand.

THE philosophy of reduction is this :
Harmony is essential to company sue
cess. and contented ockhoiders are
essential to harmony. The stringency
of the times has reduced the demand
for coal nearly 100000 tons since
1873, consequently dividends have
probably diminished really if not
nominally. Now, the first principle
in the economy Of capital investment
il, on no occasion must dividends ever
decline. These must be kept up at
all hazards and under all circum-
stances, else we have TIE terrific spec
tacle, happily unknown in these parts,
of capitalists on the rampage, The
miners are accustomed to having
themselves berated for turbulence,
but their demonstrations are mild as
summer twilight. compared with
the loarse thuniers Of an army Of
money kings. For instance, a redur-
ton of Is cents per ton means to take
$4,000 from the labor of this reg
ion to put INTO dividends. In other
words. this must be done to keep tle
stockholders contented and happy.
