Browne Barn.

A farmer in Prince Edwards Island has
planned and built what he thinks rs nearly
perfection for a cold climate barn. Its built
into hillside.
Mr.. Browns farm is devoted to mixed hus-
bandry, and he has planned tho barn with an
eye to this There are $50 acres in his patch
of land. In this admirable shelter. both for
stock and grain, Mr.. Brown has feed boxes
for cattle, salt troughs for sheep, doors and
traps In the pig pens, etc.
In describing his favorite building he says;
In our northern climate warmth is great
desideratum, provided sufficient ventilation
is secured. Tho barn has warmth, ventila-
ton and light. The windows are hinged at
the top and made to swing outward, SO that
during rainy weather they may be opened to
any degree.

ARBITRATION IN THE PRINTERs
STRIKE.

For the good of our city 1t Is to be re-
gretted that an arbitration committee was
not chosen as was proposed by the proprie-
tors of the morning dailies, to adjust the
difficulty with the striking printers. Had
the printers agreed to the appointment OF
three disinterested citizens as arbitratros,
the trouble might have soon been settled,
as similar ones have been within the past
year, and the people of Wheeling freed
from the disadvantages and injustiees that
have followed in the wake ofthe strike.
We think the prOprietors of the papers
have offered everything that could be
asked. They have great interests at stake,
yet they agreed to leave the question OF
wages and of their obligations to their
present cOmpOsitors open to the decision OF
the arbitratOrs. However, great the loss
might be to themselves, they agreed to
stand by the decision. What fair minded
man could ask more?
While the prOprietors of the morning
dailies, agreed to make the concession and
run this risk, our gone OUT printers re-
fused to submit to arbitration for the SIM
pie reason, they said, that they feared
they would risk violating some of the
rules of their union. Now, while the
rules OF the Typographical Union may be
very important, they are certainly not
more important than the public good, nor
more important than the laws of the
land, and if the proprietOrs of the papers
make so great a concession, it seems that
the printers ought to be willing to concede
something. or at least have some little
risk.
Where parties ut variance are moved by
their peculiar interests and prejudices,
they may contend against n another I'M
til d~oOmsday, and be as far from an agree
ment rs they were in the beginning, I'M
less one party or the other yields, or they
each concede something. But where par
ties thus have their prejudiceS, the best
way to secure a Just settlement Of n diff
Guilty seems to be by an arbitration com
mittee composed of diSinterested and I'M
partial citizens. This method has been
very successful in many instances during
the past year and is one of the fundamen-
tai principles of the greatest labor organ
ization in the world, the Knights of Labor.
The morning dailies are the friends of
organized labnr, as every one who has been
reading their columns, without prejudice,
can testify. That they do not want to I'M
necessarily antagonize the Typographical
Union and want to act fairly, can be seen
from their offer to the striking printers.
We simply want justice and are willing to
rest our cause with a committee of our fel-
low citizens and our vindicatiOn with a
discerning and impartial public. Webe-
lieve the printers have made another great
mistake in refusing to submit to the same
tribunal.

THE remains of Mr.. Samuel Laughlin
will arrive in Wheeling on Friday. Mr.,
Laughlin has so long been identified with
the interests OF Wheeling and has 50 large
a circle of friends among our people, that
his loss will be deeply felt, The loss will
be all the greater on account Of his sudden
death, when he seemed in the prime Of
life and fitted for the greatest usefulness.
Many a Wheeling citizen will say OF him:
In the tangled business Of this world
In the liberal offices Oflife
Few were his equal.

THE evening ForlOrR GrierGRee says:
4The morning papers have held up the
trades people of this city as sa~nd-bagsers,
eut-thrOats, anarchists and every name
that was synonymous with contempt and
violence"
This statement is an insult to the
wOrkingmen of this city. The morning
papers have held no one up to con-
tempt except the eOwardly sneaks who
have been going about the city intimidat-
ing citizens, interfering with their business
and threatening ruin to them if they did
not follow the dictates of the Self-appOint-
ed tyrants. The GrierdHes FOrlOrR would
class the wOrkingmen of the city with
these s~coundrelS, a statement so basely
false that it calls for the honest indigna-
ton and contempt of the ~wOrkingmen.
The workingmen men of Wheeling are toe
intelligent and law-abidiDg to eOuntenanee
such attempts to tyrannize our citizens, and
to subvert that freedom which has always
been the proud boast Of Americans.

DAVID DAVIS DEAD,
An IllinOisan Prominent in Many
Walks of Life Passes Away.

VNAlAB Oh Lilo RAISES Away
Judge David Davis died at his home in
Bloomington, ILL.,. on the 9th. He sank
into a camatose state twelve hours before
the end and passed painlessly away, sur
rounded by his family. The cause of Mr..
Davis death was Brights disease of the
kidneys, aggravated by weakened condi-
ton OF his system, dating from the time
when he became affected with a carbuncle.
The following brief biographical sketch OF
the deceased is from the Omaha Bee:
Judge David Davis was prominent and
distinguished figure in the politics of the
country for the past twenty years He
was born in Cecil county, Maryland, March
8, 1915, was educated in Kenyon college,
and studied law in the New Haven law
school. He followed the tide of settlers to
the west in 1886 and settled in Blooming.
ton, ILL.,, which has ever since been his
home. He was member of the Illinois
legislature in 1S44-45, and a member Of
the constitutional con, ention which
drafted the constitution OF that state in
1847. The following year he was elected
judge OF the Eight judicial district and was
reelected in 1855 and again in 1861. On
the bench he displayed signal ability and
impartiality, and was elevated to the
United States supreme bench by President
Lincoln in October, 1862. The anti-Grant
movement which began in 1870 and cul-
minated in the nomination OF Horace
Greeley two years later, found in Judge
Davis strong supporter, and his admir-
ers in both the independent republican and
democratic parties strongly urged him for
the empty and fatal honOrs which fell to
the founder Of the New York Tribune. He,
however secured that year the nomination
Of the national labor reform party for the
presidency. During the stirring and anx-
ious days following the election Of 1861,
and before the result was determined to the
satisfaction Of either party, the republicans
OF Illinois quietly acquiesced in the move
ment to elect Judge Davis to the United
States senate. This had a two-fold object
to retire him from the supreme bench and
make certain the election of r. b. Hayes
to the presidency. The plan worked sue
cessfully; he was elected to the senate and
Hayes was declared president. During his
term in the senate that body was closely
divided politically and on party questions
the balance of power was held by Judge
Davis. The republicans nominated him for
president pro tenn and he was elected over
Thomas F. Bayard, the democratic nomi-
nee.
Judge Davis was married in 1888 to a
lady many years his junior. He was re-
markable for great mental powers and ply
steal MISUNDERSTANDING at one time over
400 pounds. He has been in poor health
for the last two years, and his sufferings
duced him to skeleton. His weight at the
time OF his death was not much over $50
pounds. He leaves an estate valued at
about 100000.

OUR LAW MAKERS.

Congressman Dunn, of the First Arkan.
sas district, has notified his constituents
that he wants a reelection, but that he
shall continue at his post in the house and
trust to their ''chivalrie sense of justice and
fair play to keep his fences in order.
Senator Hawley claims that the senate
has initiated all the important legislation
this session, and that the house does not
even attend to the business sent from the
senate. This important legislation which
the senate has originated must be the Blair
educational and pension schemes.
According to the Washington Hatchet, it
is the habit of congressman to get up a re-
putation for vast information by stealing
tables and extracts by the yard. There is
very little original ability in either body.
1t may be seriously doubted whether one
tenth of the members have a clear under
standing of even the most frequently dis
discussed issues OF political economy which
occur before that body.
A gentleman who has investigated the
subject gives some figures relative to the re-
hgiOus complexion of the present congress,
which he says are reliable. OF the 40S SEN
ators, members and territorial delegates
who compose congress 70 are Methodists,
So Baptists Al Episcopalians, 81 Presby-
terians, SO Catholics, 10 Unitarians
Lutherans, 10 Christians (Campbellites)
and Quakers making total of 2S3 who
are actively connected with some church
organization. This leaves 125 who either
never belonged to any church or have
drifted out OF such associations. 1t would
appear from these figures that congress is q
pretty good missionary ground.
Regarding Senator Kenna's reluctant &C
ceptance of the championship of the demo-
cratic congressional campaign committee,
the New York Sun says: Senator Kenna is
a capable and shrewd Politician and, more
over, his ideas are thoroughly democratic.
There is no civil-service reform nonsense
about him, and he believes in giving the
