Editor Register To-day we had a
very large attendance at our meet
ing, and the business was transacted
with interest and dispatch.
Mr.. Jas. L. Rice, was elected and
will receive the proper instructions
in'the lessons of the degree in the
near future. Sixteen have been in
itiated and two reinstated during the
last quarter.
The question for discussion before
the Grange today, was as follows:
SIS organization and cooperation for
farmers a necessity" The question
was discussed to some extent by
quite u number of the members, and
some good ideas were advanced, and
some very good conclusions arrived
at that might be stated as follows:
That the farmers for the want of or.
ganization and cooperation, are
being left behind in social, financial
and intellectual matters. Being iso-
lated and unorganized as profess.
ion they are unable to resist en-.
croachment on their tights, and in
consequence are compelled to bear
burdens that are 10 some extent un.
just; they are supporting many un-
necessary systems that are very ex-
pensiye, of which they could rid
themselves iforganized and cooper.
ating. If they will organize, or go
into the Grange, they will immedi-
ately receive proper social and in
tellectual culture. Then if they
will cooperate they will soon have
the necessary means for educating
their children for improving their
farms, and identifying their homes.
Farmers, think over these matters
and act for your best interest.

A Scarcity orHouscs.

Pittsburgh advices are to the effect
that "business continues to improve
in all departments of trade" More
than this, the Commercial says that
there is decided scarcity of houses
in that city for rent. The demand
exceeds the supply. We quote as
follows:
"The contrast between the present
prosperous time and the depression
of few years ago is most marked.
During the panic thousands Of work.
ingmen were compelled to leave the
city, and hundreds of families who
had occupied houses of their own
were forced to move into rooms or
quarter themselves temporarily with
friends who were more prosperous
than themselves. Hundreds Of
houses were vacant in whole or in
part, and "lcts" could be seen on
every street about moving time.
Now all this is changed, and the
very opposite condition of things ex-
lists. For several years the tide has
been steadily setting in. We have
| all the working people we lost dur.
ing the panic and many more.
Houses are not to be had, and hun.
dreds of people are forced into I'm.
comfortable quarters and cramped
for room. 1t is no exaggeration To
say that one thousand new dwellings,
if ready for occupancy now, would be
promptly filled by good tenants at
very remunerative rents.
The Commercial reminds capitalists
of their shortsightedness in not hav.
ing taken advantage of the depres.
sion two or three years ago to build
houses in anticipation Of the present
revival. Then they could have
bought real estate cheap and bnilt
cheaply as compared with the pres.
ent time. Next year, it inlimltes,
the cost of building will be as high,
if not higher, than to-day. There,
fore those who are going 10 .Liild
should build this year. We may Aot
see lower prices for years. Mean.
time rents are lost for lack of houses,
and would'be renters put to great
inconvenience lntetEigencer
From the above our people may
draw lesson. Now is the time to
build tenement houses, if ever, for
the demand is great.

Dir. Editor:
The County Courts attention has
been called TO a great imposition up
on the Taxpayers, in the way of
paying guards to assist the consta-
bles in arresting persons charged
with violations Of law There is one
instance in which four boys were ar
rested and the Constable appointed
a guard for each boy. We could cite
many instances in which money has
been expended to pay for such acts.
Cons.ables had better be careful
hereafter how they employ guards or
they may have them to pay. If the
Constables think they cannot bring
prisoners to Jail safely let them use
hand-cuffs. TAX PAYER.

This District is now without arep.
preventative in Congress, and never
had one, because itmakes the new Dis.
trict, under the late apportionment.-
The District has a good Democratic
majority, but in selecting our candi.
date, we should not rely too much
upon that majority to save his cleo
ton, simply because he is Demo-
cratic nominee. If we want to sue.
coed in our first nomination we must
have harmony in our District and in
our Convention; and must nominate
q man of good character, possessed of
the virtues of integrity, honesty, So
briefly and capability. With a can
didate possessing these qualities, we
can carry the District by from 5000
to 1900 majority; but if we have a
candidate who possesses the reverse
Of these traits, we cannot be so san
guine Of his election.

TIC Financial Exhibit.

The Acts oflsSl, contained pro-
vision for Che publication of the f.
nancial exhibit of every county in
the State; but the law was little
muddy and many Of the courts did
not obey it. At the last session an
act was passed which leaves no es-
cape from the publication, we think.
We give it below, very nearly if not
quite correct:
Bel enacted BY the Legislature Of West
Kirgiaia;
That section thirty-fye of chapter
FIVE Of the acts 1881, be and the same
is hereby amended and re.enacted so
as to read as follows:

and a specific statement Of the debts
Of the county, showing the purpose
for which each debt was contracted,

certained by the Clerk of the said

Ohio Again O. X.

In the late town elections in Ohio,
the Democrats swept everything be.
fore it. They elected their entire
ticket in Cincinnati, by over 5000
majority, and carried nearly all the
leading cities in Ohio. Even our
neighbor, Gallipolis, that stronghold
of Radicalism, gave large Democratic
majorities, and elected nearly all of
the Democratic ticket. The Dutch
went back on the Republicans this
time, and as the Enquirer says,
played h-ll" with the Republican
party. Look for bigger things in
Ohio next Fall.

can Laborefs May Starye!

The effect Of the veto of the Anti.
Chinese bill, sustained as it has been
in The Senate by the republican par.
", is to prolong indefinitely. the i'm
portation into the United States Of
Chinese Coolies, who are to all intents
and purposes Slares, subject TO the
iron rule of the Chinese companies
that import them, and run them dur
ing their stay in this country. Let
it be proclaimed that the Republican
party propose to compel American
labor to submit TO a ruinous competi-
ton with imported heather labor
from Asia. This is another feature
in favor Of a protective tariff. The
manufacturers Of this country de-
mand Of the government that they
shall be protected in their manufact.
ures, because without it they cannot
compete with pauper labor manufact-
ured articles of the old world; but
while they ask this protection they
demand from the same government
the right to import this pauper labor
into this country, and to use it to dis.
place American labor. A protection
that doessnot protect the laborer and
mechanic, as well as the manufact-
urer, is mo protection at all. The
working-classes of this great land Of
ours will soon find out that the Re-
publican party is not friendly to
them. AS long as they vote to up
hold the Republican. party in power,
they will have to submit to the i'm
portation of this cheap foreign labor,
that is slowly but surely supplanting
them. Soon Chinese will be employ
ed in our coal mines, in our work
shops and factories, and in every 9TH
er branch of industry, and American
labor will have 10 stand back because
it cannot afford to work fo., from 80
to 30 cents day, and live on rice, tea,
rats and mice. We warn the Amer
lean mechanics and laborers now,
that if they want to put a stop to the
importation Of this kind of labor into
this country, they must cease voting
with the Republican party and go to
the Democratic party for relief. The
record of the Democrats in both
Houses of Congress, in voting for the
Bill 10 prohibit Chinese Importation,
and then in voting to pass the Bill
overthe Presidents veto, Isl sufficient
guarantee to the poor men of this
country, that the Democratic party, is
their friend. This is the second time
that such law has been vetoed by
Republican Presidents.-frst by Mr..
Hayes, and now by Mr.. Arthur
This ought to be enough to satisfy
the workingmen, that they need ex.
pect nothing from the Republican
party.
