A business man who refused 10 drop

He said: II took your evening paper al.

ANOTHER CASE on CoERCIoN.

One resident Of East Wheeling, a work
ingman and a member Of a labor union
at first declined to be carried away by q
movement which his COINCIDENCE did not
approve, Saturday he called and stopped
his paper. He said he did not want to dc
SO, and knew he sacrificed bis standing az
an American freeman by submitting to q
form OF coercion for which hs felt the
most thorough-coutGmpt. But the cow
ardly boyColtGrs had extended their an
noyance to his family. His wife had beer
called blaCksheep and otherwise insult
ed, simply because in waging an minus
war these Bashi Bazouks had determined
10 vent their petty spite on all who re
fused servile compliance with thei
vicious mandates.

The Extreme to Which the UnhOly Con-

Vote to be Cast In the Community
between Anarchy and Law.

On Saturday a committee Of boycott
Bashl Bazouks called on detenaeless
who has been subscriber
10 the INTRLLIGENCRK aud informed her
that she must stop taking the paper or
her employment would be taken away
IRON her 80 far as lay in the power Of
these bulldozers and those who are in the
conspiracy with them to take it away
Her peculiar position was such that they
had great power to DO harm, but in spite
OF this and Of the tact that her widowed
mother and herself were solely dependent
on her labor for support, she declined to
submit to their cowardly dictation.
This case only illustrates the spirit
which aCtuates these men. There is M
extreme, however unmanly and disgrace
iul, at which they hesitate. But the sens

Of life. There are many iair-minde
people in Wheeling who will resent sue
an iuQuIsitorIal proceeding, and tn
chances are that the victim Of their vel
gesuce in this case will not be called upo
TO exercise economy, simply because 81
refused to submit TO the tyranny OF an Il
tolerant crowd, whose only power Il
farm is due to their impotence and u
sCrupulOusness.

TIE GREATEST LIGHT YET.
Gas, Either Artificial or Natural, Makes
Perfect Light.

Gas, Either Artificial or Natural, Makes u
Perfect Light.
A good deal Of interest has been taken
in Wheelingsnd vicinity lately in the sub.
isCt Of new appliances for gas lighting.
The latest and best light introduced here
is the champion Carbon Light" which
is designed to use artificial or natural gas,
and makes with either beautiful mellow
light, but not SO trying on the eyes. The
firm Of Mansberger, Lott & McKown,
plumbers, No. 10 Twelfth street, are pre-.
pared to put these llghtsin. One OF them
may be- seen in the evening burning IN
the store Of Ewing Brothers, 1ll5 Market
street. 1t attracted much attention and
won many compliments Friday night.
The lamp is handsome addition to any
room. 1t consists Of ak long and three
short arms, each with q gas Jet. Beneath
is q reservoir filed with carbon. The
longer burner arms are located contiguous
to tile heater-within the current OF hot
air-whiCh maintains high degree OF
heat upon the enriched gas therein, pro.
duCing q pure, white, and stronger light,
When the series Of heater burners are
located in the same plane with the longer
burner arms, the upward draft OF cold air,
striking the longer arms, causes a gradual
accumulation OF condensed carbon therein
and OloRging them, whenever the temper.
ature oil the gas therein falls below i75o
f.. very materially impRiring the light
after few months use. This defect has
been entirely overcome in this light,
The new adjustable heater gives the
regulate quantity Of heat for any quality
OF gas, any numblr Of burners, or any
pressure, without allowing any portion Of
the gas to reach the burners without being
properly carbonized,
II 10 the only perfect mechanism OF the
kind ever produced, adaptable to all the
various requirements Of the Consumers Of
gas.

Charleston, W Va, Star.
The Wheeling dAilies have stopped u.s.
ing plate matter, and their columns are as
brimiul Of news as ever. The men who
left their cases in these Offices are still out
and there places are allied by others. The
Wheeling papers have always been the
friends Of labor organizations, and in no
ways intelfered with the workings Of the
Typographical Union in that city, but
when the Union raised the price Of labor,
| 1t was a question OF failing from boycott
or from price for work which they CSp'
not afford to pay, they chose the former,
and Indications point to the fact that
public opinion has sustained them.
That labor has the right to organize to
protect itself from the encroaches and
merciless clutches OF monepolies, no one
will dispute; and no sensible man will
deny them that right; but when they be:
