THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR,


The labor question is looming up as the
foremost Issue IN The politics Of the current
year. The great railroad strike among
the operatives of the Gould system of the
Southwest has paralyzed business in all
towns and cities of that vast region, and
the movement is extending rapidly.
II we have a poor business year il will
be owing largely TO these great labor dis
tnrbances. For The past ten years. capital
has, through organization, held complete
monopoly OF labor. II has fixed the hours
oil labor and the price thereof. Organized
capital has controlled both business and
labor.
For the past five years labor has beer
organizing, and now is more efficiently and
systematically organized than ever before
in the history of the country. This great
body of labor is controlled by few minds
and their commands will be im peratiyely
Obeyed.
The present outlook ia ominous for labor
strikes in all sections OF the country. In
the meantime our Congress and State leg
islaiures are not attempting TO grapple
with the subject. The average politician
does not even discuss the solution Of the is-
sue, and statesmanship is dumb.
There can be but one satisfactory and
feasible solution Of the perpexing problem
and that 10 arbitration.
The question is OF such vast magnitude
and importance that Congress and State
legislainres should make haste to grapple
1t. Labor has rights more sacred than
| capital, because capital represents labor

Labor has rights and il has the right TO

Farther Facts from the Executors OF
the Way Estaie.

Mr.. EDIToR ;-There seems 10 be false
impression hs to tho action Of the Execu-
tors Of the Way estate In their relation
with the Town Council.
II is assumed that the Executors had re-.
fused Information asked for by the Conn
Gil Such is not the Fact. The Council
has never asked the Executors for any in-
formation. II il Ind, or if any citizen
had asked for 1t, the Executors would
have cheeriully given IT,
Ms to the resolutions passed by the Conn
cli, we hive no other Knowledge or them
tlan what we have received through th,
papers, The Council has not furnished us
with copy nisl requested un nhswer Ia
them, nor has my member uf the com
miitee who took the Que hundred dollars
or doing this work said ono word to MS
about the matter, They have avoided us
as II they were assumed of their action,
Indeed the resolutions were passed by the
Council IN the absence of MIR. IIollenbeck,
tile only member who could and would il
lie had been asked given full Information
ON the subject.
The refusal TO pny 10 the library the
money due TO il lor the purchase Of books,
and the passnge of the false resolutions in
the absence OF the member who could
have given information If il had been de-
sired, shows more conclusively than words,
the object of majority OF the Council.
The resolutions do not nsk for informa-
tion, but among other things they say;
"Whereas, said Executors have Jailed to
make or furnish TO said Court of Probate
any final or partial settlement or account
OF said estate since March 90, 1876, not
withstanding they have been many times
requested TO do so by said Court"
The following certificate of the Probate
Judge shows that all this Is false;

Wood county, Ohio, hereby certify that
the Executors Of the estate of w. V. Way.
deceased, have never been reqired to file
an inventory of the lands belonging to

inventory of the Personal estate was duly
filed, in all respects as required by law on

to comply with any order made by this
