Everything Lovely.
WASHINGTON, August 22.-Assistant Sec.
retary New, who has Just returned from
the Westgavoa reporter to-day some OF tho
Impressions he gained Of the political stu
alton in Ohio and the sentiment in Indiana.
Said he: ave had an encampment in In
dionapolis, and 1t was attended by many
prominent men from Ohio. l gathered
from talking with them that the under
standing was that Mclean, Of the Engiira,
had his knife sharpened for Hoadly, and
meant to stab him whenever he could"
"But 1t Is now said," put in the reporter,
that the knife has been sheathed in pur.
suance Of an sgreement that Hoadly was
70 keep his hands off in the recent Demo-
cratic County Convention, and lot Mclean
have his own way"
"I've read something about It." replied
Mr.. New, "but all that has tranBpired since
! was out, and know nothing more about
It than have seen in the papers. I see
that Mclean has slaughtered Pendleton.

Of men who had served 1t faithfully for
years. 1t 10 generally understood that
Hoadly is alter the Presidency, aud there
are Democrats who think be is not entitled

Yesterday Mr.. Chisholm, OF Wellsville,
Ohio, who has been under contract with
the Water Board for several months past
to sink water cribs from which the citys
water supply would be drawn, provided it
was found practicable to do go, commenced
prospecting on this side OF the river and
met with very poor success. To-day he
will go over the large sand bar extending
out from the leland, opposite the wharf.
The IHTgLIlGRSQRR at the time the con.
tract was made with Mr., Chisholm con.
tanned quitean exhaustive interview on the
subject mad with Mr.. Hastings, member
OF the Board, in which the manner and
plan in which 1t was proposed TO sink the
wells was shown, Soon alter Mr. Chisholm
was engaged, the material necessary for the
work was all procured, so as to be ready as
soon as the river should fall sufficiently TO
20 to work. The wonderful and unprece.
dented stage Of boating water that
has existed Tor months past,
until within the past few days,
the. public is well aware OF. This Of
course retarded the work. In the mean.
time Mr.. Chisholm, in addition to securing
the material, had his engines, pumps and
elevators rigsed up in good shape. He Ia
an experienced man In this line OF work
and very intelligent ialker. The last
wells, or water cribs, he built were those
for the WellsYille water works. His
mode Of proceeding to work Is to
dist drive down an inch and a
quarter or half iron pipe, with the end
sharpened. This Is "leeler." Provided
he encounters nothing for 20 feet, the
depth wells Of this nature are usually sunk,
he driyes down four or Eve inch pipe
with the lower end pointed aud perforated
in several places. The sand and gravel in
side is then pumped out and il there Is
water 1t enters this pipe through these per-
iorations and It's quality can thus be judged.
Mr.. Chisholm first drove his "teeler"
near the rivera edge ABOUT. 20 feet north OF
tho works aud at o depth OF 8 feet struck
shale and little further hard rock. He
continued to work north for 1853 feet, max.
inc numb OF drives, but never getting
below 9 feet before he would strike the
rock. He believes that the rock extends
under the river in north easterly djreC.
ton, and that he will not ENCOUNTER It on
the Island bar.
Provided he does not he will have the
well sunk and completed Ia one week, pro.

selected, crib Of wood Is built, o3 feet in

EarlisIe L0scy Ground by His Apathy on
the mississippi River Improvement.
WASHINGTON, August 22.-At the first ses-
sion Of the Forty-Seventh Congress a COM
mittee was designated to examine into and
report upon the work Of ofimproving the Mis-.
sissippi River. Two reports were made, a
majority report headed by Represents
tive Burrows, Of Michigan, and mi
nority report headed by Representa-.
tive Thomas, OF Illinois. Mr.. Car
Isle, who was member OF the commit
tee, signed neither report, and when
the subject came up in the House he
lodged the issue and was not heard TO
speak either pro or con on the plan Of
improvement. This circumstance has lately
been brought up by the advocates Of
Randall for Speaker, who have made
the most OF the circumstance in the South
and Southwest. The result has bsen that
Carlisle has lost many supporters. His
friends have seen this, and for some time
past have been endeavoring to get him TO
change his tactics, and come out squarely
in favor OF the improvement Carlisle, seeing
how matters sand, has consented to do SO,
and will, 80 soon as hisstump engagements
in Iowa will let him, endeavsr by active
interests in the river improvements to re-
gain bis lost ground.

the widest excitement prevailed

the shop was soon seething mass Of

NEw YoRK, August 29.-Henry George
was the first witness examined to-day by
the Senate Sub Committee on Labor and
Education. In answer to the question
whether he could present any facts on the
subject OF labor, Mr.. George replied the
facts could better be obtained from the
workipgmen themselves. There was one
general fact, however, and that was that q
feeling OF extreme dissatisfaction existed
among the laboring classes. Their condt-
ton has not improved with the increased
prosperity OF the country. There is, In his
opinion, no direct conflict between labor
and capital, but between labor and mono.
poly.
Wages in each employment is governed
by certain circumstances, but they must
all depend on the wages obtained in the
most productive industry in the country,
and here this industry is agriculture.
Wages are higher in the new countries be.
cause the soil has not passed 30 largely
into private hands and wages wttt-nut sink
on an average below what man can get
by applying his labor to the soil. There is
no such thing, he said, as general over
production, although there may be special
overproduction, The secret is there IL un-
Reproduction in something else, and the
laborer cannot obtain work, and thus get
means to pay for the articles he needs.

Our good friend misapprehends the
position OF tho INTELLlGRNcER. We do not
insist OIL having the love feast. The sug-
gestion vas. .madein the hope that 1t would
be received'by all Republicans as being, at
least, in good faith, and with no other
aim than the welfare oi the party.
The ISTELlIGRSCRR freely admits that
the suggestion was looked upon With sus-
picion by some Republicansras as movement
to take from somebody authority delegated
by the party. This erroneous view has not
been generally accepted, but it was pressed
by aonle members Of the State Committee
with lpertinacity and not without effect.
Other Republicans, noting this feature Of
the discussion, and fearing that those who
were strongly opposed to the meeting
would stand in the way Of lts success, have
felt with our Parkersburg friend that 1t
would be better to iorego it
The ISrRLLlaKNcER is in receilt t cfmany
letters urging it to fix time and place and
iss1e call. Our suggestion did not con.
template so advanced a step. In our judS.
mentitib unnecessary and would be unwise.
Following TIE earlier suggestion We have
submitted the mctter to thestate Commit
tee, believing that It you'd do well to call
the conference. y
The information is that the Committee
will not call the conference. In that event
the ISrELlIaRScEa will be content to lot the
matter rest where It Is, while this news
papergoes on in the even tenor OF It's way,
doing what 1t can to promote the, welfare
OF the Republican party and TO contribute
to better government Of the stste ot West
Virginia.
