MORE OF A. j. BLETHEN's DoINGs.
The Kansas City Man Tries to Reduce
Wages, but signally Fails.

To the Editor OF The Standard.
Regarding the trouble between the
Typographical Union of Minneapolis
and the owners OF the Tribune and
Journal Virtually one company and
management, although stated different
ly by them to the general public, I
would like to make a few remarks. In
tine first place, the advertisements,
which were the sole cause of the trou--
Bile, and which are given to three Or
four men to compose at night and two
men ON the Journal III tine DAY Tune,
those men paying percentage OF one
third. thus giving those men, VINO are
supposed to have good artistic skill
nothing but fair wages, or perhaps a
littIs more than the ordinary COM
positor, for this work requires a little
more Judgment and experience than
setting ordinary type. The proprietors
of the Tribune and Journal thought
that the compositors employed on the
two papers above mentioned had no
right to the advertisements-that is, to
the per cent paid thereon-and conse-
quently gave notice on last Saturday
that the advertisements would be set
by the week at a salary, thus barring
the rest of the employees from any per
cent, which justly belongs 10 them, and
q very unmetropolitan move, as the
Tribune and Journal both claim TO be
metropolitan papers, The main mover
OF the whole affair was the manager.
Alden Jay Blethen. who notified the
foreman in a very lengthy communica-
ton that the company saw fit to have
the advertisements set by the week at
salary, and which was received by the
employees with awe, as such thing
was never expected, especially where
nothing bat union labor was employed.
and which was virtually neither more
nor less than polite reduction Of
wages, the reduction of which would
amount to about 81 per week to each
man, the reduction ali depending on
the advertising, the more advertising
the greater the reduction. MIR. Bleth-
en- very successfully performed the
same feat in Kansas City Oil the Jour
nal of that place, the aforesaid being q
union Office until Mr. Biethen made
that move, which caused The institu-
ton TO be turned into 3 non-union Of
fee, and they employ scab labor to the
present day. Ar. Blethen, 10 doubt,
thought that he could do the same here,
but ne slgnaliy failed. With one voice
the Union repudiated any such redue-
ton as Biethen proposed TO make, TINS
defeating the crafty nonopolist's inten-
tons The settlement Of the matter did
not lie altogether in Mr. Blethen 8

Politics in Plainfleld.

In recent issue of the Argus a cor
respondent complained how the board of
civil authority in Plainfied refused to put the
name of Martin Bancroft on the checklist,
while Archie Perkins of the Burlington
Medical College was put on, though he
"was never voter in town." The facts
are these: Martin Bancroft had been resid-
ing in Harris Gore and did not claim to be
a resident of Plainfield until the democrats
wanted his vote; he had represented to the
listers that he was a resident of Harris Gore,
and had thus exempted himself from paying
taxes in Plainfeld. The board, after learn
ing all the facts, came to the conclusion
that he was not legal voter in town. In
regard to Mr., Perkins, that gentleman is a
citizen and voter in town until he has
gained legal residence elsewhere, and
his temporary absence at college does not
deprive him of the right to vote in Plain
field. In the same issue of the Argus an
editorial paragraph attacks Mr.. II. G.
Moore because for reasons satisfactory to
himself, he voted the republican ticket
Mr. Moore has been an active worker in
the democratic ranks in Plaintield for
many years. Now he has chosen to leave
that party and join the republicans. This
he had perfect right to do, and there is nc
reason whatever for questioning the worth.
ness of his motives, as the Argus has done.

Shaken Up Again.

On Tuesday, September 2lst, Charleston
was awakened from sense of security and
returning hope and confidence by shock
which was the most violent certainly since
the commencement of her troubles. The
shock occurred at fifteen minutes past five
in the morning, an hour at which very few
people were out of their beds, and it was
followed by stampede into the streets by
many frightened persons. The atmospheric
conditions preceding and during the shock
are worthy of note. The weather for the
preceding two days and nights was hot and
sutry. At intervals during the days there
were slight puifs of wind from the east, but
on Sunday and Monday nights there seemed
to be not a breath of air stirring. The nights
were very oppressive. Monday night there
were frequent flashes of sheet lightning in
the north and northeast, and at times dis
tant peals of thunder were heard, which
bore a distinct resemblance to the detona-
tons that generally precede the earth waves
here and which many persons insisted were
premonitions of another disturbance. The
shock was very distinct and comparatively
violent. Opinions differ as to whether it
was accompanied by the usual detonations,
but of its violence there can be no doubt. A
large brick structure in which a correspond
ent was sleeping first quivered for three or
four seconds then came violent shaking,
which lasted five or six seconds and during
which the house appeared to rock to and fro.
No damage appears to have been done be-
yond the shaking down of what little plas-
tering was left in the interior of the houses.
The shock aroused nearly everybody in the
city and the streets were consequently
astir at much earlier hour than usual. The
effect is very depressing, and the most
gloomy anticipations prevail. People had
been gradually induced to abandon their
tents and to return to their houses. There
was everywhere IA growing feeling of conf
dence and hope that the worst was over
Fears are expressed that the worst is not
yet over. Shocks were also experienced al

Music i'm Tennessee.

An incident of the political canvass in
Tennessee is described in the following dis
patch from Chattanooga: " A novel scene
was witnessed here tonight. A. A. and
Robert L. Taylor, the brother candidates for
governor, were in this city on their way to
appointments. Besides being fine debaters
and eloquent stumpers, both gentlemen are
accomplished musicians, the violin being
their favorite instrument. Large numbers
of the friends of each assembled at the hotel
where the two brothers were stopping and
occupying the same room. After general
interchange of friendly feeling all around,
two violins were brought in and they were
asked to give some music. Each took an
instrument and moving their chairs close
together they began, and for time delighted
their hearers with some music as fine as
ever was heard here. They would throw
in occasionally the Arkansas Traveller,
Rosin the Bow and local melodies which
fairly set the crowd wild. Two candidates
for governor of great state, brothers too
at that, sitting together in a most friendly
and brotherly manner playing the violin for
the deectation of their friends is sight
probably never witnessed before on the
stump The brothers preserve the same
friendly relation, and nothing is said to jar
| the sensibility of either"

The Speakership.

A citizen of this county writes us as fol-
lows: GAS l was a member of the house of
representatives in 1884, perhaps it would not
be out of place in me at this time to indorse
the name of Josiah Grout for speaker of the
house of representatives at the coming SEES
sion. He is a gentleman and eminently
fitted to occupy the speakers chair. He
was candidate two years ago, as was j. X.
Batchelder of Arlington, but Major Grout
in a gentlemanly manner declined in favor
of Mr.. Batcheder, who received the unani-
nous republican vote. Now l think it would
only be treating Major Grout fair for the
coming house to elect him its speaker"
