MARTIN MEAGHFR.

20 ST. Paul, and he is therefore one of the
pioneers of the city. His business is that
Of a mason, and he has pursued the calling
not only as workman, but as a master
builder since his advent into the Golden
Northwest. For a time Mr.. Meagher
was employed with the st. Paul water
works, and he was also engaged upon Garlic
ton college in Mortified, this state. Mr..
Meagher took hand in the erection of the
ST. Joseph's sisters academy on Nelson
avenue, the Gilfllan block, the county Jail
improvements and any number of other
fine buildings, which now mark this city as
one of the most substantial of western cen
tiers. Perhaps the best Endorsement which can
be offered as to Mr.. Meagher's knowledge
Of his business and as to his trustworthiness
is the fact that he has been appointed by
the court house architect TO inspect ali the
brick and stone work which goes into the
new court house. As there are about 175
men at work on the building it can be
readily seen that the position is one of
responsibility. The work will last until the
fall of 'S6, and it is Mr.. Meagher's duty to
see that the material used is standard and
that every stone is cut and placed according
to the plans and specifications for the work.
MI Meagher has raised family of seven
children and lives on Pennsylvania avenue.

New York STATE printing.

New York politics are beginning to warm
up, and the Albany Typographical union
has fired the first shot into the Republi-
can camp by issuing a circular to the various
typographical unions and central labor bod
les III the state. in which it sets forth that
the printing for the state of New York has
been done for the last seven or eight years
by firm intensely hostile TO organized la
Dor; consequently" says the circular, rats
have performed this branch of the state
service, to the entire exclusion of union
men. AT the last three sessions OF the leg
islature attempts have been made 10 pass a
bill to establish a state printing Office, but
powerful lobby has each year succeeded in
having the bill smOthered. The firm doing
the work is composed of Republicans. \
Republican board has persistently awarded
the contracts for the state printing To this
firm (Weed, Parsons 81 Coz, and no other
parties have any show toget the work while
the Republican state officers are in power.
All other competing offices here are Demo
cratic. 1t is not, evidently. a question of
the lowest bidder. but one of politics, solely.
Therefore this union, despairing of gaining
the Office in question by any other means,
has decided upon plan of action whereby
the Office shall be made fair or the work
taken away from it." One plan is to call
upon organized wOrkmen throughout the
state to vote against the Republican state
officers at the fall election. Previous to is
suing this call the union asks the typOgraph-
zeal unions and central labor unions 10 bring
their weight to bear upon the Republican
Central committeeman to force the firm to
square the Office" This will be the issue
of the printers at the coming election
a union office for the state printing. There
should be no compromise.

NECESSITY.

Gaunt-faced and hungry-eyed she waits,
This sOmbre warder of our fates,
Forever sleepless, while we sleep,
And silent while we watch and weep.
Sometimes, beguiled by smiling skies
And woOIng winds, we shut our eyes,
Forgetting for little space
That tireless, unforgetting face.
Or, stirred as stirs the sap in spring
By natures force we laugh and sing,
Or run to pass that waiting shape
With flying footsteps of escape.
But where we run she leads the way,
She goes before US night and day,
No flying footsteps can escape,
By any path that sombre shape.
The roads we follow wind and twist,
Our eyes grow blind with binding mist,
Blown down to us as we ascend
The upland heights that near the end
And at the end-''Whereis our foe?
Where hideth she % we cry-and 10,
Through breaking mist, an angels face
Looks out upon US from her place.

PennsrIvnnin Poli.ics and Lnbor.

The Pennsylvania workingmen are pre-
pairing to enter the political field with
view of getting their rights and have formed
a powerful combination. The Knights of
Labor. Iron MOulderS' union, the Anal
gamated association and all branches of in
dustry were represented at a meeting held
at Pittsburg last week. Delegates were
present from all the cities and towns of
Western PENNSYLVANIA and from the neigh
boring towns and cities of Ohio. The first
object OF the meeting was 10 form polit-
zeal organization. The labOring men say
they have been treated shabbily long enough
and the time has come for them to move.
Arrangements were made To run labor
candidate for state treasurer this fall if the
nominees of the Republican or Democratic
parties are not men who will pledge them
selves to uphold the principles Of working
men and laborerS the state over. Plans for
a general trades assembly were drawn up
for their political organizations and commit
tees were appointed TO wait on Col Quay,
Republican, at once and ask him, either
personally or by letter, TO ad-
dress the committee or the body
OF the Trades Assembly itself. AS
soon as the Democratic candidate is NOM
mated the same procedure will be followed.
Ii neither of these candidates can satisfy
the committee that they are favorable to the
Workingmen's party then the assembly will
proceed to nominate acandidate of its own.
Those most intimately connected with the
movement and who have been most inter-
ested in forming the Trades Assembly claim
that they more than hold the balance of
power They have had each lodge make
carefully-preparedr returns OF its member
ship, and these returns have been compared
with the census. They claim that they
have in Pittsburg county II. 600 of a ma
iority on a straight vote. This time they
also claim that the members will stick. and
there will be no backing down of any kind.

labor, in politics as well as in business"

Northwestern Miller: About the same
condition of things exists in Minneapolis as
has prevailed for the past three weeks.
There are only four or five mills being Ope-
rated, and they are virtually supplied with
barrels by the three larger cooperative
shops Two of the latter have all they can
easily do, but the third is doing rather an
uncertain business, owing to the large use
of sacks. The other shops are selling prac-
tically no barrels, and with one exception
are doing but slightly better as to manufac-
ture. The exception is the largest (''boss")
shop in the city, which keeps up uniform
output OF barrels and places them in store
The sales and manufacture of barrels for
the past four weeks, and for the cores
ponding time in 1884, are shown in the ap-
pended table:

Cleveland. Democracy.

1t is strange that the Democracy
of President Cleveland should be
questioned. His actions have never
indicated anything else than that he
was true and faithful Democrat
and actions speak louder than words.
Mr.. Cleveland has some peculiar
notions about civil service reform
that do not suit some Democrats
who want the Republicans turned
out of office faster than can be done
under his civil service policy but
this does not argue that the Presi-
dent is not Democrat The idea
that an honest man like Mr.. Cleve-
land would defeat Governor Hill for
the sake of demonstrating that he is
the only person who can carry the
great State of New York is simply
absurd. If Governor Hill carries
New York by decided majority it
is an endorsement of the President s
policy and would secure his re-nom-
ination in 1888, if anything would.
While Mr.. Cleveland is a little too
stubbornly honest for some of us we
should not concluded that we have
all the Democracy and that he has
deserted us. Give the old man a
chance.

Mr. Baker and the National

Mr.. Lewis Baker, formerly editor
of the Wheeling Register. and the
West Virginia member of the Nations
al Democratic Committee. removed
his residence to st. Paul, Mimi. sew
eral months ago. Last week a wri-
ter in the Wheeling Register urged
that paper to urge Mr.. Bakers re-
moval as a member of the National
Committee ON the ground of his non
residence in West Virginia. This
has elected a card from Mr. Baker.
in which he says: MY theory is,
and has been. that when / ceased to
be a resident of West Virginia, by
virtue of that fact ceased to be a
member of the National Committee,
and ! have been serupulous ever
since / determined certainly to per-
manently change the place of my
to exercise no prerogative
of that Committee. A number of
the members of the National Com
mittee understand the situation. and
/ am sure that the vacancy which
now exists will be filled at the first
meeting of that Committee. The
Committee has its own rules for fill
ling vacancies. and will doubtless
act under those rules SIM.

Our University.

The President of the West Vir-
ginia University at Morgantown,
Hon. E. M. Turner, was in town this
week, presenting the claims and adj
vantages of that institution to our
people, and endeavoring to awaken
feeling of State pride amongst those
of our citizens who have heretofore
been in the habit of sending their
sons to colleges outside the State,
when there are just as good facili-
ties for obtaining an education in
home institutions, at considerable
less expense. President Turner has
recently visited number of coun-
ties throughout the State, and in
forms us that the prospects for the
University are very fattering, more
students being in attendance already
this session than during the whole
of last year. Morgantown will soon
have railroad, doing away with the
necessity of ride in a hack over
rough road, and it is expected that
many people will visit that ancient
town who would not otherwise do so.
and this will of course be an adyan-
tage to the University, which only
needs to be known for its merits to
be acknowledged.
This is the first time within our
recollection that Wellsburg has been
visited by representative of the
State University, and we have no
doubt the institution will reap the
benefit in the years to come. Mr..
Turner made very favorable i'm
preston upon those of our citizens
who had the pleasure of meeting
him. He is a gentleman of polished
manner and scholarly attachments,
with progressive and liberal ideas,
and has the vim and ''get-up' that
is now the leading essential of sue
cess in any undertaking. His selec-
ton as President of the University
has proved wise step, and we be-
lieve that with the cooperation of
the press and people, he will accom-
plish great good in the cause of edu-
cation in West Virginia. As citi-
zens who take pride in State insti-
buttons and believe in upholding
them when worthy, we say to all
who have sons to educate, do not
send them outside the State when
you have at your doors such places
of learning as the West Va. Univer-
sity.-- Welss6wyy Ne,cs.

Death of Malcolm Hay.

Ex-First Assistant Postmaster
General Hay died Oct. goth, at his
home in Pittsburgh, Of consump-
ton.
Hon. Malcolm Hay was born in
Philadelphia in 1912 and was edu-
Gated at the preparatory depart
ment of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. His school days ended
at II years and he commenced the
study of law shortly afterward. In
1865 he removed to Pittsburgh,
and was admitted to the bar of AL
legheny county and continued his
membership up, to the time of his
death. He early assumed a lead
ing position in the lay ranks of the
Episcopal church, and held promi-
nent official relations in the do
cesar conventions.
In politics he was staunch
Democrat, and was always a recog-
nized leader in the conventions
both local and State.
He was strong supporter of
Cleveland in the convention, al
though his colleagues from this
district were friends Of Randall.
He was appointed First Assistant
Postmaster General by President
Cleveland on March 18th last, and
left sick bed to go to Washing
ington to accept the position. He
rallied for short time, but the
onerous duties of the position told
on his delicate constitution, and
he was compelled to resign. He
returned, and from that time until
his death he had not been
able to leave his house. Although
his demise has been expected, the
announcement has this morning
caused sincere sorrow among all
classes.

A Timely Suggestion.
To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
Sir:-Our water works having
proven rather unsuccessful and
there is danger to the inhabitants of
our town from carelessly using the
water from many of our wells, l
would respectfully suggest that as a
sanitary precaution no water be
used for drinking or culinary pur-
poses without first boiling it, 1t
should be boiled for half an hour to
render it perfectly safe. The reason
for the precautions to those acquaint-
ed with sanitary Silence are at once
obvious. The awful lesson taught
us by the fate of Plymouth, Penna.,
cannot be too deeply impressed.

The Ohio Legislature.

1t is at last conceded that the
Ohio Legislature is Republican. 1t
was as well known two days after the
election to all who mixed common
honesty with average intelligence as
it is now known by the official vote
but some of the machine manipulators
had to waltz around the truth long
time before they were ready to con
fess it.
The Republicans visibly had the
Legislature all the time and all Dem
ocratic demi- semi-quavers to change
the result have been just so much
disgrace upon the authors. 1t would
be creditable to defeat John Sher-
man if it can be done honestly, and
it may be possible to do it by sup
porting some able and reputable Re-
publican, but it would be discredi-
table in the highest degree to at
tempt to defeat Sherman by fraudu-
lent election returns.
The fact that John Sherman per-
sonally participated in the great cleo.
ton fraud of 1875 and accepted
Cabinet portfolio as his reward, does
not in any degree justify or excuse
the employment of fraud to defeat
his election to the Senate; but it
would justify his defeat in an honest.
ly returned Legislature by the .ac-
ceptance of any reputable Republi-
can who can divide the Republican
vote.-Phlddelphia Times.
