HOWARD FOR REFORM.
The Rock Island Alderman Sick of
Protection.
The Glass Workers can't Compete
ing Under the Present system.

Winslow Howard. a member of the
Rock Island city council, reelected last
spring by the republican party that had
honored him, for number of years
blower at the Rock Island glass works,
aud of late employed in similar capaci-
ty in the Ottawa glass works, has got
enough of the republican doctrine of pros
lection. He realizes how the glass indus,
try, protected as it is to the fullest ex-
tent, is enabled to import pauper labor to
supplant American skilled labor and re-
duce the wages paid to starving prices.
Mr.. Howard has written the following
letter to friend in Rock Island:
OTTAWA, ILL.,, Oct 81.
DEAR SIR:-I failed to speak to you
after that conversation we had in Il e
Rock Island house, but l have concluded
| l shall come out and support Cleveland
and reform. l will be home Saturday and
will stay until after election. After be-
ing here, find the same thing as in Ro1 k
Island-very few American workmen-
most of them not being in the country
long enough to vote. These same ones
are the ones they used to call pauper
labor of Europe only few years
ago. While l believe this country Is
open to all the world, and am one who
will welcome them, | do not believe in a
system that enables the rich to procure
cheap labor to compete against our own
American labor.
Our own men in the glass works tell us
that we get such good wages. believe
we do; but ask what is the condition of
them. | will venture to say that Ovel
one half of the men in the glass works il
Rock Island have had to have money ad
vanced them coming or going from or to
Rock Island. Now, | ask, is that good
times | remember when a good many
of our factories were owned by glas
blowers. hope to see it again, but no
under this system, will We get it,
In conclusion l will say: If We hav
to compete with Europe, |, as working
man, would prefer to compete with the
products. than with the labor. And lie

ECHOES FROM HEpaEsyILLE.

Miss Alice Hanna. Que of Hedges
viile's bellies. returned home Satur-
day last. Miss Alice has been visit
ing relatives 10 Frederick. She re-
ports pleasant trip.
Mrs. Level returned nome last Sat-
urday after an absence Of q few days.
Her many friends always welcome
her return.
Mrs. Mason, the mother of the
popular and esteemed Republican
orator, came to Hedgesville Tuesday.
She expects to enjoy the pure air of
TIE mountains for some weeks.
Mrs Porter, Miss McKown and
Miss Miller, who were the guests of
Miss Henshaw, started for their
home near Ger~rdstown. Wednes
day. We wish them safe journey.
They are each intelligent and accom-
plished ladies. Miss Miller is a sis
ter to Charley Miller, the Republi-
can candidate for sheriff. If Charley
is as pleasant and accomplished as
his sister, he will surely be the next
sheriff of Berkeley county.
Miss Slyer, one Of Washington's
fair daughters was taken i'll while in
this place visiting relatives. We are
glad to say she Is better atthis writ
ing.
Mr.. Morgan Shaffer, who has been
lingerinS So long With that dread dis
ease, typhoid fever is slowly re-
covering.
Mrs. Snodgrass, an aged and much
respected citizen of this place, is very
H.
Mr.. Lo.nie Snapp has been very
Ill but i able to be out again.
A sad accident occurred not tar
from this place Sunday. Mrs. Ke-
seeker, widow lady with two sons,
was accidentally shot by one Of them
while working with his revolver.
The ball entered her ce:ehrum thro'
the frontal bone and caused instant
death.
Fighting in Hedgesville has be-
come very common, and we think it
is contagious. Last week two ladies
Of color became very much enraged
over politics, and not only resorted
10 blows, nut even flourished their
knives with as much skill and dex-
terity as the red man Of the forest.
One of them greatly distigured the
physiognomy Of the other. The scar
will eternally mar her beauty the re
mainder of her days.
The speeches by Gen. Golf and
Wilson had great effect upon some
of the citizens Of this place, for af-
ter they got home they had social
gathering near Mr.. Miller's, and the
crowd was dismissed bya few knock
downs, great big noise and some
even said cuss words. During the
entire souabble Dan Butts was the
centre of attraction. His colossal
figure could be seen towering above
the crowd as he carried man under
each arm to one side to cool off.
The democrats will turn out en-
masse Thursday. They have had
bad luck with their flag pole, or ra-
Their the rope. IS this an evil omen?
We learn that people are we'll
pleased with the present teachers of
the Hedgesville school. The trus-
tees are men that are wide awake,
and have selected teachers according
". We learn that the teachers had
= meeting for the purpose of making
out course of study for the school.
They are still working at it. When
they have finished it, it will be pre-
sented to the public for inspection
We think this is step in the right
direction and believe the parents
will approve the system and aid
them in this good work. Let the
good work go on. REP.
