Congressional Convention.

Our town is now in condition to step to
the front and politely ask the committee
in charge TO seriously consider our claims
for the coming congressional convention.
The district is not now confined TO the
counties Of Huron, Ashland and Richland
for suitable place to accommodate the
delegates, as Wellington is second to nc
town in the State, ofgrades which exist in
this district We are as central as any
other available point, and our railway fa'
cilities and hotel accommodations are
most convenient, and besides these there
are other good reasons for having the con
yention here. We understand the commit
tee is to meet in few days to determine
by ballot the place for the convention.
The advantages We have mentioned, to-
gether with the neatness and cleanliness
Of our town, will warrant the committee
in at least taking our claims into serious
consideration. Perhaps 1t would be well
for committee Of citizens TO present our
Claims 10 the committee.

To Our Business Men.

GENTLEMEN;
We ask your attention for few min
utes while we consider our mutual wei
fare and grievances. We say mutual,
because we consider the early closing Of
stores as being strictly mutual between
employer and employe; in other words,
we claim II would benefit the employer
equally as much, II not more, than the
employe. To verify this, let us suppose
that every store in town is closed at 7 p.
m. viii this diminish the demand for
groceries, clothing, boots and shoes or
dry goodsS We answer, decidedly, mol
Consequently, this cannot harm our en-
ployers, financially.
On the other hand, let us consider the
mutual good to be derived from early
closing, instead Of being tied down from
$50 a. IN. till o p. M, and often 10 and IL
as at present, II would give the married
man an hour or so to spend with his fam.
lily every evening, privilege which he
cannot now enjoy, without depriving him
self of necessary sleep. 1t would give
the single man an equal length Of time TO
spend socially or in reading, both Of
which he is deprived Of as 1t now is; be-
sides these pleasures to be derived from
early closing, let us consider for mo.
ment the physical benefit II we could
devote the two hours between seven and
nine to rest and recreation, instead Of
work, which is, as we all know, three hrs
longer than days work, wouldn't we
feel more like beginning the next days
labor, than we do at the present time
Wouldn't we see less Of that tired, Ian.
guild look that Is so common among bust.
ness men and clerks. Would not clerks
feel brighter and more like pleasing their
employers than at present.
One argument we have heard, against
early closing, is that II would discommode
the public; in other words, that we ought
TO put in thirteen or fourteen hours every
day In order TO accommodate men who
sit on the hitching posts until they see
the lights are being turned out. Among
all with whom we have talked, In regard
TO early closing, and we have seen at least
fifty, we haye not found one, either among
country or town people, but who sane
tions the move, heartily, and readily
agreed that II would soon become gener.
ally understood, and would inconvenience
no one.
We hope no employer will do us the In.
justice TO think for moment that we de.
sire to lessen their profits or do an injus.
tice to the public; on the other hand, we
desire only TO do what is considered for
our mutual benefit, both by ourselves and
many OF our employers. Why is It that
there is no banking business done in our
town after four o'clock Simply because
the doors are closed at that hour, and we
all make an effort to get there before the
doors are closed. Other business could
be conducted in the same way.
Yours Respectfully,
A CLERK.

THE Norwalk board Of health has con-
demned the county Jail as "a standing

in which It stands" That is fine game
TO play upon the taxpayers OF Huron

commissioners will have backbone
enough to pay no attention to such a non,

motion to lay 1t on the table until after the

The editor of the EAGLE was absent

he has been so completely engrossed
with other matters that he has had no
