Messrs. Editors? l sincerely believe that
a competent laborer, no matter what
his trade may be, can secure salary at
any time consistent with the quality of
his work, if he is moral, honest,
and correot man In every other way.
have noticed, in my few years of pub
lie life, that every skilled workmen,
whether he be q mechanic or book
keeper, is genius, and a genius of any
kind is proverbialy prone to all sorts of
wicked habits. y superior mental ca
paclty does't seem to dwell peaceably
with fruitful moral capacity, and
therefore the genius lacks in one way or
another and doesn't become of greater
worth to his employer than the pittance
of IS per week, Or whatever it may be
that is offered him. B.
Well Mr.. B., now that you have de-
livered yourself of such a weighty opin-
ion as the above, we rise right up to say
that we think you are all wrong; yes,
are way out in the cold with your chilly
little doctrine. The prices paid for
skilled LABOR in America and England at
the present time are utterly disgraceful.
1t has SO far had such an unfortunate
effect as to discourage the young men
and women who would otherwise have
taken hold of important studies and
persued them to successful completion
from going ahead with their ambitious
task, and the ignorant is in consequence
rapidly gaining majority over the in
telligent laborer. Do YOU suppose, Mr..
B., that it is the fault of any moral all
ment in the mechanic, because Le-sits.

his boys and girls go out to work in the
shops and mills? The boys and girls are
paid as much as he would be, or nearly
so, and he wisely prefers to make most
of the rest he gains while his children
support the house. But don't think, Mr..
b., that he refuses to do his work be-
cause of laziness or immoral habits. He
is an American, Americas poorly relish
the expressions of the capitalists who
offer to pay IS per week for labor worth
three times that amount. Maybe you
don't happen to hear, Mr.. b., the eter-
nal old cry that is raised every day
against the inferior Workmanship of our
mechanics composed with the same
class of work twenty or thirty years
ago. And maybe you don't happent to
think, Mr.. B., that the only reason for
this INTEGRITY lies in the fact that men
cont do the best they can when they
are only paid what half or two-thirds
best is worth Every skilled mechanic,
or intelligent laborer of any kind in the
country today feels the lack of justice
upon the part of employers and are ear
nestly appealing for reformation of the
So per week system. Brain work must
be paid for in consistency with the
worth and dignity of brain work and
not classed and remunerated on an equal
scale with the labor of the hod-carrier
and teamster. EDS. WING.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The Polls the Centre Of Attraction Through
out the Day-The WindoIy Book Men
Work Vigorously.
The election on last Tuesday in this
town and the county III general did not
present an aspect at all different from
that worn upon previous occasions of the
kind. The polls were opened in the Office
of Judge Lewis on North street at S
o'clock, and We're closed at 6 in the even
ing. Balloting began early, and con-
tinuous stream of voters passed to and
fro before the little window by which
the judges sat all day long. 1t early be-
came evident that a mole than usual
amount of cutting" was being INDUCED
in, as no man seemed quite content to
vote straight ticket for either party.
The purchasing of votes was made an
open and public traffic, many unprinci-
pied men selling their opinion to the
party workers in the streets where all
could witness the transaction. The Dem
ocratic party men worked with undated
zeal, and the Half Breed wing of the Re
publican bird O. freedom tapped inces-
sanity hither and thither in its earnest
efforts to run up heavy majority for its
chosen candidates. 4 large number of
drunken men surrounded the polls from
time to time throughout the day, and
several arrests were made by Hailitf Geo.
King for disorderly conduct. The votes
of several couutrymen whose names
could not be found on the registry were
challenged, and they had to succumb to
the edicts Of Civil Service Reform. This
was done peaceably enough, ecept in the
case of Geo. Shivery, whom Bailitf King
found it necessary to transport to the
coSey stone mansion at the end of the
lane As evening approached, ard the
vote of the district was pretty well in, a
very fair estimate could be formed of the
complexion of the case, and whereas this
appeared rather pallid on the part of the
Half Breeds, the Democratic side was
brightly flushed. \ direct and indispu
table effect of the erroneous lcadmont Of
the Republican party in Cecil county. 1t
never could, never would, never will in
the future suffer such an inglorious de
feat but for the unredeemed Mongrel
faction. We can only hope, but with a
strength as great as that of Samson, and
an assurance as satisfying as that of
Moses, that the lesson taught RepubE-
canism by this unwarrant9bl defeat will
serve to eyerlastngly establish it upon
the honorable basis it once rested on
when staunchly united in the sacred
bonds of honest fellowship and imper
sonal management. The vote in this dis
trict was not counted until past mid
night, and returns from the remaining
eight districts of the county did not reach
here until almost morning. They are
printed in 4 classified and comparative
scale in another column.
