STRIKES INCENTIVE TO INVENTION.

1t is an interesting fact that many Of
the greatest inventions Of the country
have been the OutgroWth Of the necessities
of the time. Men have invented because
they have been urged to DO so.
We have seen this illustrated right here
in Wheeling. A few years ago, when the
nail business wa going IN smoothly men
thought little OF devisinS inventions thai
would make any very radical changes in
the manufacture Of nails What inventing
was done was mostly in the improvement
Of the machines already in the work There
was little to stimulate inventions that
would reyolG.ionize the entire system OF
manufacture. Blu, when the great strike
Of the boilers and puddlers was Inaugural
ted and a bitter fight conducted between
employers and employees each declAEing
their intention cot 10 yield, inventive genius
was again called out aud urged to
make its strongest endeayors. The result
every one knows. The ste,l nail came
into exlstenos. Machinery was devised
that has ever since done the work Of The
boilers and ~puddlers.
Since the present strike among the
nsilers has been i~naugursted, there has
been unusual activity among inventors.
improvements in machines and new ma
chimes are being invented The strougest
efforts are brought tc bear upon the iryen-
ton Of q machine that VIII not require the
employment Of nsIlers. Il is well known
that machines, which ths inventors claim
will do this have been patented. There is
9 great diversity of opinion as 10 the
merits Of these inventions and time must
settle the matter, But whether they are q
success or not, It cannot be denied that the
strike has given 8 powerful impetus to
inventive genius.
Also during tie great miners strike in
Ohio, the depressing influence upon the
coal trade put invention to work and
some one devised q mining machine which
he claimed would revolationizs mining.
But the strike is over, the miners are 3,
work, and no revolution 10 mining has
yet occurred. Bat it is easy to see how
such things put mems wits to work to de-
wise some way TO overcome the difficulties.
While such things are a great benefit to
the general public, Of course they are for
the time being 3 great disadvantage to
many. When 3 machine that can do the
work Of men is patented, manufactured
products can be given to the people cheap
ar. but whenever such machines are intro
aucsd many must lose their work and
seek employment in some other Geld.
Where such radical changes are made it
sometimes takes several years before the
suuiEbEium is restored

they condemn Is mentioned as selfish
snimus Of their present proceedings; bat
circumstances have combined to create
much sentiment on their side Of the ques-
ton. Exploits of small but very con-
suicuous minority Of burlesqe and comic
opera actresses have lately scandahzed
the weILbehsvsd majority; and the more
notorious the persons became the more
they were forced forward, because thslr
value as attractions to the dudes was
thereby enhanced.
@At the annual meeting of the Society
for the Suppression of Vice, which IS An
thopy Comstock's organization, the sub
iect Of risky stage costnming was discussed
and the heavy hackers of C~omstock-the
element from which he gets his potent
moral and financial Support-agreed to
sustain him in q crusade against tights.
BE is therefore likely to do something rad
ical if not effective.
A diverting side Issue is the discussion
of Henry Ward Beechers presence at the
Academy of Music last Monday afternoon,
when a mixed show was given tor the ben
eQt OF u. d. luOulaoi Oh oAtAo"
was q friend of the beneficiary, and he vol
unteered to make an address introducing a
party of draughtsmeD, who made sketches
on the stage. He did that service happily
and then took q seat in the proscen' an
box, where two young ladies OF his family
sat. He seemed to enjoy the vocal and &C
robatic doings that ensued. Atlepgth the
time came for an Amazon march by the
chorus from "Evangeline." 1t was out OF
this troop of carefully selected pretty girls
that Sadie C~ortelyou recently retired in
disgrace and death.
Beeeher did not quit his. box, but he re-
treated so far behind the draperies that he
was visible to only a small portion OF the
audience, and the best o~btsinaole evidence
is that he turned his back on the parade Of
tie twenty unclsd girls. On the fall Of
the curtain he went into the corridor and
stayed there, talking with scquantanceS,
during the encore temperance OF the bur
~Iesuuers. He declines to be drawn into
talk on the subject for publication, but IN
Inmates thst he will soon define his position
regarding thestricsls in a sermon.

rsxrImE TO BUY REAL ESTATE.

rHETIME 10 BUY REAL ESTATE.
During the business depression ia Wheel
ing there has been great depreciation IN
prices Of real estate. Many people
have been trying to dispose of houses and
lots, but have either found no buyers al
ell or If 9 o have sold OF much less than
real value. Some persons feeling the et-
fscts Of the clcseness Of the times, have
Left the city and their property and have
gone elsewhere that they might better their
condition. Il seems to be almost q uni
'versal course for men to pursue, when their
merchandise or property begins to shrink in
value, to hasten to put it upon the market
Such q course produces kind of panic
and dspreciates the price Of their property
still more.
Here in Wheeling this depression In
value has without doubt about reached
ia lowest ebb. Frst-olsss dwelling
houses and buildings Of almost every kind
can be bought at remarkably low figures.
Good and pleasantly located building lots
can be hsd at much less than their real
value. There is an old saying that when
everybody wants to sell is the time TO buy;
when everybody wants to buy is the time to
sell" This is highly applicable now.
Quite 3 number, it seems, wants
to- sell. Those that buy and
those that hold on to their property
can sos fail to be great gamers
There is bound to be 8 rise in value soon,
Il may be a few months yet, but come 1t
will. The farming country around Wheel
ing is too fine, the resources are too rich'
the facilities for manufactures and trans
p~ortstion are too great for the city long to
stay in its present condition. Our advice
to all who expect to buy real
state to buy now. Our advice to property
owners who contemplate sacrificing their
property is, to hold on to it.
Also, it is an excellent time to build.
Lots are cheap, building materials are
cheap, and labor is cheap. Houses with
all the modern improvements can be built
At oue-tbird less cost than a year or two
ago. While persons building now could
be able to sell their property at q profit or
rent at good figures when times become
batter, they Will hasten prosperity BY now
giving employment to men engaged IN
building and by putting their money IN cir
culstion.
Persons who have pleasant homes here
and ore thinking Of selling them and going
elsewhere because they are not nov sue
ceeding as tbey wish, run q great risk OF
making their condition much Worae.
Wheeling is likely to be as prosperous and
20 conducive to their interests as
any place ia which they may 10
cafe. Even those who now are
out of employment should be very sloT
in determining to leave if they have any
show at sll.
We SUN it all up in this advice, which
We consider highly applicable to the people
Of this city: Stay where you are it you
have wO-k or any chance Of getting work;
hold what real estate you have and get as
much more as YOU csu

CAPITAL NOTES.

JAY GoULD BEFORE THE CONGRESSIONAL
COMMITTEE.
Washington, April ga bar was
erected across the corridor and several
watchmen excluded the general public
from the room occupied by the select
committee to Investigate the labor
troubles in the southwest. Jay Gould
was in attendance about half an hour
before the committee met, accompanied
by A. L. Hopkins, vice PRESIDENT of the
Missouri Pacific road. and General
Swayne its counsel. The resolutions
under which the committee lie proceed
ing were read to Gould, and he was in
vited I give his views upon the sub
ject of the strike.
In rather a low voice Gould read a
statement showing in detail the number
oil msn employed by the Missouri
Pacific System. Gould explained that
the strike occurred in his absence. He
produced and read kilograms passing
between Powderly. Hoxle and Hopkins
At the start of the strike he had 64,31E
employees while the strikers numbered
only 37l7 men, principally employed in
the machine shops along tho tracks.
"What followed the Strikes" asked
Gould, showing signs of deep feeling
"Ihey seized the st. Louis, Kansas City
Sedalia, Texacarna and other tsrmina,
facilities, they took possession, and sale
no man shall run a train on that road
that is what they said" exclaimed
Gould, in q voice exhibiting strong agi
%tation, sour loyal employees could no
run q train, and were deprived of til.
power to earn their wages. That
il what followed the strike-forcibl,
possession. / cannnot call it anything
else. Something the czar of Russi,
would hesitate to do with his million
soldiers behind him." Gould then recit
q ut length his version of the interview
between himself and Powderly, whicl
has already been covered in these dis
patches.
