ately sold to the Allegheny Coal and
Iron Company for 500, 900. The recent
purchase carries the Improvements that
were put upon it the last season.

stormy Caucus.

The Readjuster caucus held in the
House of Delegates the 18th inst., at
night was the most stormy one seen
yet. A great deal of interest among
outsiders was manifested, and the 70
tunda of the Capitol was filled with ex-
pectant and anxious people.
The first thing that was done, con-
trary to expectation, was the springing
of the troublesome Massey question.
Strong speeches were made in his favor
by Messrs- Newberry and Hale. who
were replied to by gentlemen of oppo'
site views. Finally it was agreed upon
both sides to abide the decision of the
caucus and go into a nomination. Sen
atOr LybrOok then nominated Mr.. Mas
sey whereupon Mr.. Riddleberger got
the floor. ana in hot words denounced
Mr.. Massey, using, it Is said, the word
"felon" In connection with his name.
He also said that sooner than vote for
Massey he would resign his seat and go
home. This speech created great ex.
element, and the Massey men arose to
their feet, and with cries of ''This way,
freemen," left the hall.
A minute before the men left the hall
the sounds of row were 90 plainly
heard outside that cry of "a fight in
the caucus'' was raised outside, aud the
rotunda was soon enptied of the most
of the hangers on, who seemed in no
wise anxious to risk their precious per-
sons to the chances of danger.
Senator Newberry was In hot pas
sion when he came out, and when ask
ed if he ana Riddleberger had not come
to blows, exclaimed mo, sir; he has
not courage enough to blow anything"
He was unspariny Gin his denunciation
of Mr.. Riddleberger's course.
The Big Four all came out accompa-
MED by Messrs. Board, Webb, Young.
Philip, Vaughan, and others.
Some one came out after awhile and
asked Mr.. Hale to go back.
you will never get me back in there
as long as you live" said the Senator.
ooh, yes, come back and save the
ship" said the friend.
"The ship is broken ship" remark
ed Mr.. Hale rs he moved away.
A part of the boilers went down into
the Auditors Office and held consul
tation with Mr.. Massey, while portion
went off to Senator Newberry's room In
company with this gentlemen.
The caucussresumed its deliberations.
and heard speeches from Lieutenant
Governor Lewis and others In favor of
proceeding with the nominations.
This was done. and at 1890 this MORN
ing the CAUCUS renominated Mr.. 5.
Brown Allen, of Augusta, for Auditor
of Public Accounts.

CAPITATION-TAX.-O last Friday,
Col. Skinner introduced in the House a
bill to levy annually a poll.tax of one
dollar in aid of public free schools. 1t
also provides that the employer of any
one liable to pay such poll-tax shall be
liable to pay the pell-tax Of. the employee.
The employer shall pay the tax to the
proper collecting officer and take re-
ceipt for same, which he shall deliver to
the employee at the time that he deducts
the amount from his wages. If the poll
tax be not paid by the employer or by
the employee, the collecting officer shall
make the same out of any property of
either, provided no enforcement of said
poll-tax shall be made against any en-
pIoyer unless the emplo. shall have be
been in his service for at least ninety
days during the year in which said tax
is due The bill is almost literally tran
script of the Louisiana law, which msny
of the Raadjuster speakers in the late
canvass avowed their willingness to
adopt as means of more certainly col"
lecting the capitation tax in aid of the
public schools.

THE IRON WORKERS. STRIKE.

The strike of the iron workers of Pitts
burgh, Wheeling and Youngstown, has
proved costly experiment. 1t has lasted
more than hundred days, and has finally
ended in the men returning to work at the
old scale of prices, having lost in wages
alone the enormous sum of between eight
and ten millions of dollars. The average
loss to each man concerned has been a lit
tie over three hundred and fifty dollars.
The difference between the old wages and
those demanded by the strikers was only
twenty-five cents day, so it will appear
that the men have sunk the equivalent of
fourteen hundred days work-over four
years-of the increase demanded, and have
gained absolutely nothing,
This is but repetition of the experience
of the past. Strikes seldom succeed-they
never pay. Few workmen are in a condition
in which they can afford to be idle for one,
two or six months. One days idleness
will amount to loss. equal to the gain of
ten days under an advanced scale of ten
per cent. If man strikes for ten per
cent. advance in wages, remains idle a
month and then secures his demand, he
is not whit better off at the end of the
year than he would have been if he had
continued working at the old rates. If
he fails he is the loser to the extent of
a months wages, and not infrequently
he loses his situation altogether. It is
small satisfaction to reflect that he may
have inflicted a proportional loss upon
his employers. 1t is only so much the
worse if both suffer, for it diminishes
production and Injuries industry.
Strikes are seldom necessary. If work
men are underpaid or oppressed III any
way, they can usually obtain relief by
presenting their grievances to their en-
ployers in a plain, straightforward man
ner. In nine cases out of ten relief can
be obtained, and the friendly relations
between employers and employees remain
undisturbed. If employers refuse rea-
sonable request, strike may sometimes
result benefcially. In such cases the
workmen may be sure of public sympa-
thy, and they will succeed. But hasty
and ill-advised action is to be stunned.
It is always we'll to count the cost of a
strike before inaugurating it. 1t is prob
able that if the iron-workers had been
able to foresee the result of their sus-
pension-the enormous loss to them and
the utter failure of their plan-they
would have continued at work and would

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 21.-The Republican
state central committee assembled at the
Plankinton house mainly for the purpose
of discussing the Hazclton Reyes affair,
but other things of preliminary interest
came up. A great many prominent state
politicians were present. In opening,
chairman Sanderson said that the meeting
had been called at late day, partly to
prevent the charge being made that it had
intefered in nominations for the legisla-
ture, and partly to make the appro aching
campaign short, sharp and decisive. 1t
was decided to make the two amendments
to the vote on the fall Republican issue.
The trades assembly was held up as sort of
dread political spook. The status in the
different districts was discussed with alter
nate gloomy and bright picturing- "a

SEVERAL days ago the special New York
dispatch of the GLOBE mentioned the fact
that Vanderbilt had sent four millions of
dollars to the oil regions. There was some
speculation as to the purpose for which
this money was to be used. An Associat-
ed Press telegram this morning explains
it by noting the formation of gigantic
oil corner Twelve million barrels have
already been purchased by the pool, which
is working in conjunction with other large
holders, and the dealers throughout the
country will soon be subjected to con-
siderable squeeze.

REPORTS from Ohio indicate that the
Republicans are becoming alarmed rela-
tive to their political prospects next
month. They have been trying to dodge
and ignore the temperance issue, but, like
Banquo's ghost, it will not down, and each
congressional candidate is running a muck
of his own. A meeting of the Republican
state committee and all of the candidates
has been called at Columbus to see if mat
tiers cannot be put in better shape.
