The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1881-03-24

cu0us. The centre OF the capaeal OF tne
country and of much Of Its manufactur-
ing as we'll as mercantile and finan-
clal Interests, people here feel most
keenly that the monster of Socialism
must be kept down, for here, IL It up
rears Its horrid head, we are more ex-
posed to Immediate ruin. The Interna-
tionalists had high old time celebrat.
ing the event In one of their odd, noisy,
beery land frothy meetings in the
Bowery, attended by some of the
murderers Of the good Archbishop of
Paris-why they are not extradited and
guillotined Is one of those things your
Rsdix don't pretend to understand
and numerous other equally repulsive
ruffians and idiots. Nobody else SYM
pathized with them, and it Is good sign
of the blessings of freedom tina. right
here in this big city filed with foreign
ers and with an undue proportion of
very poor people such very small per.
centage believe in the murderous,
levelling doctrines of socialism.
To come from the sublime to the rid
iculous, it would never do for America
to let Russia get ahead Of us in senss-
tional explosions. Two small boys,
aged seventeen, went into partnership
for the clandestine manufacture of those
toy torpedoes which annually help to
make the Fourth of July hideous with
their bogus limitations of the healthy
old racket kicked up by good, honest
old-fashioned gunpowder. The young
cubs were doing quite fiourishing
business, SO much that they hired
several girls to help them pack the hor-
rid impleme nts of torture. Ono Of
these girls, adorned possibly with one
Of those modified hoopskirts which, in
spite of the DEGREES Of fashion, seem still
TO survive among the lower classes Of
factory hands, In some of her flirta-
tions, twists and twirls swept a small
box OF ofdetonating powder from lower
stand, and presto! the entire building
was resolved into matchwood with a
few loose bricks where once had been
a chimney. Strange to say, beyond a
few bruises and a terrible scare to the
children in an adjacent public school
no one was injured.
Talk of explosions and public meet
ings, grand meeting has been called
BY the most influential citizens, repre-
senting millions of capital, who have
determined once for all to get at the
bottom of the impudent rascality which
draws nearly million dollars a year
out of the city for cleaning it, and posi-
lively for weeks and weeks together
don't make even the smallest pretense
of doing the work. Without any joking
q few more months of such neglect
would transform our ground floor base
ments into cellars. The filth Is appall-
ing, and fancy ex-clubbsr Williams
will get the grand bounce this time. i
don't suppose he cares, for nobody ever
accused him of being a fool, whatever
else they alleged against him, and he
has plenty of very comfortable oppor-
.tunities for feathering his nest with
abundance Of metaphorical swans
down.
st. Patrick's Day, for wonder,
passed off without rain. The observ-
ance outwardly and visibly, at least,
was quiet. The professions were limit
ed far below their old proportions, and
the gallant Geth didn't turn ont. In
wardly the celebration was, am led
to believe, very joyous. The wit and
whiskey flowed In parallel and copious
streams, and the visiting of the Green
was observed most religiously in this
sort Of privileged Carnival In the mid
die of Lent allowed to the Hibernian
branch of the great Celtic race.
