THE young men and boys who CON
template leaving the farm or the work
shop for clerkship in some store or
business house, should reflect on the
fact that there is said to be no less
than five thousand clerks idle in New
York city, and are unable to secure
employment even at starvation wages.
They are a class Of persons who have
spent all their time in clerking, and
are incapacitated for any other avo-
cation. In almost every city and
town are to be fonnd young men who
are spending their precious time as
clerks at salaries that are scarcely
sufficient to keep soul and body to-
gether, prefering it to the more active
and laborious pursuits Of life. Boys,
stick to the farm or learn some trade,
and thus be an independent and use

HAND NATURALIZATION two
months ago DIR. Ogden removed a
small tumor from the hand of Mrs.
William Hood, of near Shinnston,
with the view Of saving her hand,
which was rapidly becoming useless
from the effects of the tumor, but the
result hoped for from that operation
was not realized, and it was determin-
ed, in order to save Mrs. Hoods life,
to hare her hand amputated, which
was done on Tuesday by DR.. Ogden
ut her residence in Harrison county.
1t is to be hoped that after these Sc
we're ordcals Mrs. Hood will recover
her health.-West Virgiatdn.

What Mr.. Blaine Saws.

A reporter of the Journal called on Mr.
Blaine last evening to know what founda-
ton there was for the remarkable story
published in the Boston Herald of Tues
day, purporting to give his views touch
ing General Buffers political future. Mr..
Blaine's reply was that he rarely noticed
sensational paragraphs OF any kind, but he
would in this case say, That the
views attributed to him were pre-
cisely the reverse Of what he
held. He did not believe that General
Butler could be reelected Governor OF
Massachusetts, and he had the fullest con-
fidence that Republican Presiden mt would
be chosen next year. The republican par
ty. he added. will be found far stronger in
the elections of 1888 than it was in 1873
or 1879.

Cowboys CraZed With Liquor Indulge
in Il General Fight.

DENVER, Col. Sept. II.
Sunday evening party of cowboys at Nc
Lane ranch in Ebert county, after having
passed the day in debauch, became invol, ed
in a dispute which led to fist fight between
two of the party, while the on-lookers BRAN
dished revolvers and encouraged the men on.
An oil lamp was knocked from its place and
the room was in darkness. The men now
completely mad ran upon each other and in
minute after the light had been extinguished
the melee was general. The door was locked
and there being no means of egrees each man
fought for himself.
Amid resounding blows and curses pistol
shot rang out and the death cry of IA
victim paralyzed whatever reason was left in
the party. Almost before the cry had left
the lips of the unfortunate n. an there was a
wild tulisade and for moment by iitful
flashes the gloom was lighted. 1t was
bloody scene. Roster was killed, two men
named Jones weltering in blood, and three
others wounded. one at least fatally. Rollins
and Mckeever were the only ones not in
jured. They fled and have not yet been ap-
pretended.

DAkOTA'S CONVENTION.
Protest Against Governor Ordway's Re.
appointment.

Sioux FALLS, OAK, Sept. l..
The people of South Dakota will have to
deal with prohibition at the polls when the
constitution is submitted for ratification. In
the convention, yesterday, numerous petitions
were received to this end. Articles relating
to Legislature and education were adopted.
Most of the commissioners made reports.
There are safeguards securing economy in
every branch of the constitution. School
lands are protected closely. The State can
not become involved in large debts of any
character excepting in time Of war or insdr-
rection. The pardoning power is likely to
be taken from the governor and vested in a
board of paelons, consisting of three men
elected by popular vote. There seems to be
a desire to thrown into the control OF the
ballot az many features of the State govern
mcnt as possible containing the powers of
legislature. A meeting of delegates and
other citizens OF South Dakota is called for
some day previous to adjournment to adopt a
protest to the President against the reap
poin,ment of Gov. Ordway.

LABOR COMMITTEE.
John Roach Continues His Testimony
on the Labor Question.

New YORK, Sept. II.
John Roach continued his testimony today
before the Senate subcommittee on labor
and education. and corrected some misap-
prehensions which he said seemed TO exist IN
the minds of the public regarding his previous
testimony.
This was the secret of the decrease of
American shipping in Roach's opinion. II
the eight hour system was established by
the government it would be necessary 10 in-
crease the protective tariff in order to coun-
teract the influence of the Increased cost OF
production. The only way of benehtting the
condition of labor in general was to give il
chance at the land.
Roch said Great Britain had one thousand
millions OF money invested in the shipping
business. IL was her most profitable indus
try. Ten years ago l42, 600 men were en-
gagged in the sailing merchant service and
.. 700 ia the steam merchant vessels.
Today there were l0f 900 men in the sail
ing service and l66, 900 in the steam service.
Last year the earnings of this immense mer-
chant fleet were four hundred millions. This
enormous stride OF the British people was
accomplished at the expense of this country.
The interests of the workingmen here was
neglected by those who ought to guard them.
