The sole aim end object of House Bill No
81, now before the West Virginia Lcgisla.
ture, seems to be to cripple the newspaper
press of the State. If by such means any
member of the Legislature hopes to advance
the interests of the people and the State at
large, we opine he is far wide of the mark,
and we trust it has not been our m isfortune
to support for position any individual who
will cast his vote for such measure the
ono referred to.

Capital VS.. Labor.

New York, May 21.-The action of
the longshoremen, bricklayers and
other trades unions on the strike or
threatening to strike, is severely criti-
cised by some of the morning papers.
AT meeting of the bricklayers' COM
mittee permission was given their men
to work conditionally at specified places,
but would not allow them to work on
new buildings on any terms save those
which are authoritatively prescribed.
The Bulletin says: We have it ON good
authority that many longshoremen who
have been going about idle on the
wharves during the past fortnight would
be glad to return to work at the steam
ship companies terms, but for the ar
bitrary DEGREES of similar commit
teee," and there are evidences of like
species of dictation and terrorism at
Pittsburg, where the committee" is
busy organizing another strike among
the iron and steel industries. The
steamship companies, unable to get
laborers here, are circulating printed
handbills in the adjacent rural districts,
offering employment.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, May 21.-The
democratic state convention assembled
this morning. A temporary organiza-
tion was effected by choosing James r.
Hagerman, of Keokuk, president.
Upon taking the chair he returned
thanks for the honor and endorsed the
attitude of the democratic party in
congress; denounced President Hayes,
and declared that the democracy will
not only elect the next president, but
will inaugurate him. Committees on
resolutions and credentials were ap-
pointed, after which recess was taken.
Upon reassembling Gen. A. G. Dodge
was made chairman and T. o. Walker,
secretary. The committee on creden-
tials reported 476 delegates present, out
of 600 provided for in the call. A
state central committee, headed by Ed
ward Campbell, jr., first district, was
appointed. Gen. Dodge, in taking the
chair, denounced the republican party
for forcing resumption, and advocated
a union of the elements opposed to the
republican party. H. H. Trimble was
nominated for governor by acclama-
tion, and Moses Bloom for lieutenant
governor.

Railway Telegraph LINES.

Washington, May 21.-The follow
ing, which is published here, indicates
the advanced state of progress of the
establishment of the new system of the
railway lines. The independent lines
between Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, are under actual
construction, and poles are now being
delivered between these points. Several
lines connecting these. centres with the
various points in New England and
Canada have been purchased or leased,
and several are in process of construc-
tion. The Wabash railroad system is
in full cooperation with the new tele-
graph scheme, these lines being con-
trolled by Cyrus w. Field. Solomon
Humphreys, Sidney Dillon, Jay Gould
and other New York parties. 1t is
also understood that the Pacific roads
are making arrangements, under the
leadership of Gould, to effect connec-
tion with the Baltimore and Ohio sys-
tenn at Chicago, st. Louis and interme-
diate points.

That Free Coinage Bill.

New York, May 21.-The Tribune
says it makes no difference now, what
the house does with the silver bill and
other measures affecting currency.
That body has performed its part. Its
mission was to prove that the demo-
cratic party, as body, was in favor Of
defrauding public creditors in almost
every conceivable method, and that the
republican party as body, was hostile
to bad money and bad faith in every
form. The votes on the various
amendments to the silver bill have
placed both parties on record. The
Times also rejoices at the practical
death of the measure, saying, that the
Warner bill has received serious
check at the hands of the republicans,
aided by a certain number of demo-
Gratis and also, curiously enough, by
smaller numbers Of greenbackers.
Among the democrats who have con-
sidered the interests of the country rs
superior to those of bullion owners, ma
tive or foreign, are those who became
disgusted with the extreme character
of Warmers bill.

New York, May 21.-The Russian
consul general here has receiveda a COM
munication signed Russian Revoln-
tionary Committee declaring that he
''has uttered certain slanderous insinu-
ations and base falsehoods in New
York society against one Of our most
honored and trusted friends, and warn
ing him that he has made himself par
ticularly obnoxious to our order, by
transferring to this free soil the con-
temptible system of Romanoff espion-
age, and that, should he persist in his
infamous conduct, the consequences
will certainly be disastrous to him. ="
He believes an organization Of the rev.
elutionists exists here, and says he is
in no hurry to receive warning number
two.

Cleansing New Orleans.

New Orleans, May 20.-The auxilia-

work, systematically, of flooding the
streets and cutters with river water.
This will be done daily, the entire
length of the city, six miles. They
hope by this means to abate the nui-
sance of foul cutters. The French
market and that quarter of the city
will be supplied by powerful pump
and engine. The association are con-
structing nuisance boats, and have
ordered number of sweeping ma
chimes and are laboring faithfully in
the interest of sanitary reforms
throughout the city.

Boston, May 21.-It is semi-officially
announced that Butler will run again
for governor this fall, but unless the
willy old fox has lost his shrewdness he
will refrain from entering the lists.
The democratic party of Massachusetts,
at any rate the democratic party of
Boston-had enough Of him last year,
and that they realize the absurd situa-
ton into which he led them Is evident.
The new ward and city committee, at
its first meeting this week, gave un-
mistakable evidence of this feeling. 1t
is believed that ex-Gov. CASTOR, pure
and able democrat of the hard-money
type, will be the standard-bearer, and
it is limited that Butler may advocate
his election with the hope that demo-
cratic legislature will also be chosen,
which shall elect him (Butler) to the
senate.

An Important Event.

Berlin, Prussia, May 21.-The resig-
nation of Forckenback, of the Ger
man parliament, which was announced
to-day, is regarded as an event of much
Importance. Forckenback assigns two
reasons for his resignation. His i'll
health and his opposition to the views
of the majority of his fellow members
on the tariff question. The latter is
understood to be the real reason for
the step. The protectionists are carry
ing all before them in parliament, and
Bismarck appears to have thoroughly
won over the majority of parliament to
support all his financial plans.

Another chilian Victory.

New York, May 21.-The Herald
says dispatch from Valparaiso, Chill,
dated April 16, via Rio Janeiro, April
26, states that the Chilian gunboat
Magallanes was attacked by the Peru
Wan corvette Union, carrying twelve
70-pounders and a crew of 400 men,
assisted by the Pelcowayo, carrying
two 70-pounders and four 40-pounders.
The engagement took place off the
mouth of the river Loa, forming har-
Dor to the port of the same name. This
river formed boundary line near the
coast between BOLIVIA and Peru. The
two Peruvian vessels fired 100 shots
at the Magallenes, which fired forty
shells and solid shot in return. The
firing of the Peruyians was very wild,
the Magallanes only being struck once,
and that by ricochet shot. The
Union then stopped firing and escaped
with the Pelcowayo, which was badly
damaged. The Chilian iron-clad AL
wiranta Cochrane has gone in pursuit.
The new ministry has been formed,
and made up as follows: Minister of
the interior, d. Antonio Varas; foreign
affairs, D. Domingo Santa Maria; JUS
tice, D. Jorge Hunees; finance, D. Ag
Malta; war and marine, Gen. Burrutia.
Rio Janeiro advices of the 26th of
April state that the Brazilian govern
ment has declared that it will not in
terfere in the Chill and BOLIVIA Peru
Wan war, though willing to offer medi-
alton when called upon to do so.

London, May 21.-The Catholic hier-

maintain a profound silence respecting
a bill in parliament for the establish
ment of the university of st. Patrick,

look unfavorably on the measure. They
say they must be certain Of its accept
ance by Rome before it can do any
good. The Protestant dissenters and
the Church liberation society of Eng
land bitterly oppose the measure, and
are organizing public agitation against
it. The independent, liberal and radi-
cal members of parliament will en-

out of the colonizing scheme. But
nothing would be so likely to give new
and irresistible vitality to the move
ment as the murder of few trespass-
ing settlers.
