A RoUsING meeting Of the wage workers
of tbs city did take place last night at
City Hall square, but an entirely different
kind TO that which was intended. The
Indignation" part was transferred, as
President Meek said, into one Of jollihes-
ton and rejoicing over the prompt
action of the Council committee
and the coucilatOry and wise course Of the
Yves. Virginia Natural Gas Company and
Contractor KINBERLY. The eausus belli
having been removed for 'indigusting,"
the meeting took the excellent and COM
mandatory plan Of publicly demonstrating
that where 3 grievance or q wrong was
corrected, it Was ready and prompt to
acknowledge it. The Presidents remarks
were as conservative and sensible as they
we're appropriate and convincing, and We
take pleasure in eongratulating him upon
his successful execution OF q very RESPONSE
Die duty. Ons thing is to be remarked,
that although the meeting was han
dicspped by the removal OF the
object for which it was called, it neVsrtht-
less was quite demonstration, showing
how much interest there was in the call,
and what nigh, have been expected II the
irritating cause had not been killed.

PEoPLE need give themselves no unesSi'
ness about the sentiments expressed BY
JEFFERSON DAVIS or any Confederate lead
ers. to the memory Of those who laid down
their lives TOR the lost cause. A feeling OF
humanity prompts their uttersnces. There
is no menace to our Republic in this. The
Union of States is safe so far IS North and
South are concerned. The Southern peo-
pls look forward to the common prosperity
OF our common country. There is no time
nor need for the people OF any section OF
the country to be feeling uneasy about this
matter. They had better be weighing
calmly the great issue between labor and
capital, that is prostratiug the industries OF
the land and battling the Thoughts OF 80
many men. There Is more danger here,
than anywhere else, at present.

Golish of the Union, noticeable more par.
ticularly for Its size bat when it is more
perfectly developed it will surpsss any
State IN the Union in point Of wealth and
population. The idea that Texas will some
day be subdivided into other States seems
to be visionary idea. Senator Msxey
said the people of Texas would never sub.
NIT to such division, making what would
be the leader of the Union parcel Of
getty States. 1t most certainly is not wise
to allow State in Republic TO grow to
gigantic size, for if its power be not re.
stricted in time it will restrict the power Of
the nation by its arrogance and protested
superiority.
The city here is one Of about 1000 in
habitants and presents peculiar appear
ance to an Eastern person. The central
portion consists of elegant business houses,
while the edge of the city and lower part
is composed otsmall dilspidated buildings,
little stores, saloons and dwellings,. The
idea of young man coming west, at least
here, is built more upon fancy than upon
sound sense. Wages and labor is not q
triis better than in the city of Wheeling
and the chances for continuous employ
ment not better. 1t seems that mechanics
and lsborers seek Western fields thinking
that as the country is new that there must
be a great demand for labor, they find,
however, that few chances are open, if the
market is not all ready supplied or over
ed,-ususlly the latter. This, OF
course, causes scarcity Of employment and
reduction of wages Concerning lands, all
the land that is really worth any thing is
practically exhausted, taken up.
1t seems foolish that q man would dis
pose of good farm in West Virginia and
seek the west, for if he wants farm that
is worth any thing he must expect to pay
good sum. 1t is true that he can take
up government land, but if he does he
usually rides back home in two or three
years in wagon. This State has no land
known az government land, all wild lands
are owned exclusively by the State alone,
q graat porrion of which is reserved for
school purposes, that in time will turn in
an immense revenue. This State at pres

The verdict Of the jury in the trial of
Geo Eskey, the young man found guilty

pie are in sympathy with such degradation,
but because Eskey had always been q
young man of ordinary good character,
Snd because there is no doubt that he was
led into the deed by persons much worse
than himself who. could they have their

because Of the present apparently disturbed

trary, the signs are very hopeful WENDELL
PHu.LrPs one said: Never look for an age
when the people can be quiet and safe
At such times Despotism like shrouding
mist steals over the mirror of Freedom
y The barriers of pride, caste,
greed, hatred and bitterness must be
torn down. The wsrkiDgmsn and his en-
ployer must meet face to face, they must
discuss every detail in the management Of
the concerns they are jointly operating
No sacrifice ofprincipls on the one hand

such q transaction. In the management
of great or small concerns each grievance
each trouble or difference, whether in rela'
ton to discipline or wages, should be talk

trated."

THELABOR SITUATION,

There were $4,000 men last week on q
strike in this country. Yesterday, accord
ing 10 what had been published, this num-
Der was augmented by thousands of others
in New York, Chicago, 81! Louis, Kansas
Civ, Boston, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and
indeed in nearly every important city oi
the country. Thousands OF Others threaten
10 strike il their demands are not granted.
Many strikes were prevented BY the en-
ployes granting the demands OF their EN-
ployers; others we're prevented BY a CON-
promise. Bot these are only small POr-
tion Of the whole.
Yesterday may bs regarded as 3 mem
orsbls one in the industrial history OF our
country. The eight hour movement sgt-
,Atioa iS brought to the test and must
shortly shos signs Of both success and fail
are. In some cases the men now on q
striks will gain their demands, but in
many others they will in the end End that
what they are demanding is simply !upos-
nble. In instances where the margin Of
profits TO employers is already small, & de-
mand for an increase Of rs per cent in
wages will Obige the employers to clOss
their shops or employ other men to do their
work.
The elimination Of this movement yes.

to know its real relation to our Industries
Its success in some branches of business
will sAoK the people thst under proper con-
dirions an eight hour system is g great
bsue6t. Its failure in others will teach
come men the lesson that it is as useless
to try to reverse the laws Of trade as it Is
to try TO make water run up bill.
