a COPY. He stood around awhile, evidently
waiting for something. Directly friend

and asked if he could get a copy OF the
Congressional record without expense,
The friend replied that he could not. Then
a Congressman came along and the ex-
official asked him to get him a copy OF the
Record, saying he hated to have to buy
one The Congressman said he would
oct one, and went around to another stall
and bought one. Before the Congressman
returned the ex-oficial, thinking the Con-

NIT itself to no policy without being sure
that it is right. 0ncecoumitted, it should
proceed prudently and nationally. Prudence
bsgets courage, and reason begets frmness-
Il should resort to strikes as last resort.
To violence, never No spasm OF passion,
however terrific It's force, ever wrought dur
able good. To reason imPsrislly, to har-
monte all its forces around definite and
invariabls policy, TO protest clearly, to MS
ten patiently and argue calmly, to execute
promptly, firmly and always Peaceably-
these seem to bs the suggestions that labor,
restless with the thrill of neWly-scquired
power, eager and keen under the pulsing o.

carefully" g
The Knights Of Labor 80 numerous in
Wheeling and throughout the Ohio valley
have an important part to play. Great
good ia inevitable if the Order proceed
with prudence and justice. But if it mis-
applies and prostitutes its power to unjust
ends, untold evils must follow, just as sure
" as night follows day. The industries Of
the country are now largely dependent
upon labor organizations. and labor organ

of the country. Capital is an essential
element of these industries. They all pros

ion tends to demorslizs trade, ruin the
business Of an individual or ola town, make
men withdraw their capital from msnufac
lures or other enterprises, or keep men
from investing capital in industries is
stronger blow upon the cause of labor than
any other. II means the withdrawal Of

IT is reported that the MormOns have o
scheme on foot to eolonizs Nevada and
get control of the State Government and
run it to suit themselves. 1t would be a
very easy matter for them to send enough
colonists to that State to get control Of it.
The population of Nevada is small-less
than is now required for the admission Of
q State into the Union. AS many Of the
MOrmons are getting q little uneasy in
Utah, it is very likely just little eneour-
agement from q few Nevada political
sehemers who want Office would induce
them to make the change. But the polyg.
smists need never expect 10 find rest while
their feed treat upon the soil Of
the United States. IL is an evil
that our people will continue to fight

lines. If the MoEmons want to enjoy their
polygamy let them 90 to the Fiji Islands
or some other isolated spot. They can

The amendment of the Constitution pro-
posed By Senator INGALLS,, changing the
time of the Presidents Inauguration to
April Both is q good one. Very often the
4th of Msrchis among the coolest aud most
stormy DAYS of the year, and the thousands
that crowd into Washington on that day,
if they take part in the procession or
observe the inaugural ceremonies or listen
to the inaugural address, must do 80 ont in
the open air, in the cold and storm. Peo-
pie who have attended insugurstions know
that there is little pleasure in this, and also
that colds aud pneumonia are often con
trscted that produce evil results.
But on the last day of April the air
wouli be balmy and pleasant, the flowers
would be beginning to bloom and Wash
iugton be IS cheerful and enjoyable as at
any other period of the year. ItinSugural
ceremonies are held in public for the good
Of the American people they ought to be
held at a time when the people will be OF
the most inclsment weather Of the year.

ORGANIZED LABOR,

The Atlanta Constitution, in comment.
ing upon organized labor, says: American
labor was never perhaps so thoroughly or,
gained as to-day. With this organization
comes power. With power comes respOnsi,
N;Ity. With responsibility comes dangers
at if not sverted will dissipste its power,
.4estrcy its organization and leave its con-
stitueuis more helpless than ever.
The wise workingmsn understands that
no power Of organization can maintain or
perfect wrong The skill and energy that
is gwen to the enforcement of an unjust de-
mand is worse than wasted. A machine
cannot run if q cog is misplaced, and the
more steam that is crowded on to force it,
the swifer and more disastrous the crash
that nust come. Labor has enough wrongs

Whenever il does start wrong

to lengtheD; and ia well applied at this
season Of the year. 1t is usually supposed
to consist of forty days. but during the first
five centuries Of our era there was very
little uniformity, the season being emphati'
cslly movable one, and of any length
from ssven weeks otwo days. This latter
period would be quite long enough for
some people st the present
time. The matter was finally
settled like most other things) by Gregory
the Great, who added the days preceding
Qusdragesima Sunday, thus making the
season begin on Ash Wednesday. 1t now
consists Of forty fasting days, or forty-six
days including the Sundays. The probable
reason for the selection of the number forty
was its use as a sacred number, and one
connected with fasting among the Jews.
The term Tasting" is interpreted very lib
orally at the present day. abstinence from

A young lady said in my hearing the
other day that Lent made no difference
that she could see; Wheeling society had
been keeping Lent for the past twelve
months. We had gay time during Feb,
ruary, however, with amateur dramatic
and minstrel performances, and the Benev
client Society did its best to make March
come in like lion By the by, there was
some discussion as to the word minuet.
The dance, as every one agreed, was beau
titul and beautifully done. Some desired
to spell it minuette, and others TO pro
uounce it minay. AS to the first, j. is
simply owing TO the rooted idea of some
excellent people that all French words end
in double t-e. We fully expect some
dsv to meet with depot 80 spelled.
The best answer to both classes Of re-
formers is, that minuet is not French
word q! all. The dance is rs French as
you like, and was invented in Potion. The
melody was always three quarter notes 10
the bar, and begins with the down beat
1t consists Of two strains called reprises,
each containing eight bars resembling
qusdrille music in this respect), though
there is one minuet, in Lully's opera Of
Roland, containing FIVE bars to strain,
and ten to q reprise. The finest minnets
we possess are il Handles Sans IN, and
Mozsrt's Don Giovanni" The name
was derived from the Poitevin word
menus, which came from the Latin minu,
tus, small; and referred to the small steps
used in dancing 1t is called in French
menuet (prono1nced menusly) in Ger
man, menuett, and in English, minuet
with the accent on the first syllable, and
the sounded. 1t was a we'll known dance
in every country of Europe during the
middle ages The stately festivities held
at the time (abou. % much ike our mod.
ern idea of "a good time" &C the play OF
Mixed Pickles" is ike "Hanlet,") were
usually opened By the lady aud gentleman
of highest rank present, 'treading a meas

dances were looked upon as matters of
state ceremony; and there is a story ex.
tant Of some noble in Germany who ohsI-
euged the whole city of Rsiisbon n think
