TRUMBULL.


 The entertainment of the Nameless club, Wednesday evening, was one of the most successful on record. The Town Hall was crowded and standing room was well occupied The comedy, tSlighted Treasures, was first presented. Parts were nicely taken and the comedy well received. A short intermission followed and then Mrs Jarley's celebrated wax works were exhibited. Mrs Jarley's lec- ture was entertainingly descriptive of the figures, which, she declared, had been Shown before and approved by all the crowned heads of Europe, including the king of the Sandwich Islands and Er- win S. Fairchild, president of the Name less club; they were also endorsed by such distinguished and world-famous Americans as r. T. Barnum, Jay Gould and Arthur E. Plumb. Mrs Jarley had a deal of trouble with her henchman, Pepper, who continually forgot to oil the the mechanism to run down. John and George, who transported the figures, found it no small task to properly bal ance them. The king had habit of sud- denly falling upon Pepper, when that worthy was attending to other duties. The costumes were remarkable for rich ness and originality of design and elabor- ateness of finish. The accompanying lecture aptly described the models and was full of local allusions, which called forth laughter and applause. The BEE reporter had passing mention. The en- tertainment closed with a grand simul- taneous performance of all the works of wax. The audience then adjourned to the upper halls, where cake, cream and lemonade awaited them. Tables and JiSbaS x-ara filled pmptja6 and rpnlpO- ished again and pleasure reigned SUI preme. A few loaves of cake were sold at auction by E. $. Fairchild. The re- ceipts were over $40. Several out o1 town people were present, including l. l B. Curtis of Southport.

The Monopoly Party

From they inchester Va Times.
From It's birth the republican patty
has been engaged in the work of
building up monopoliee and erecting
privileged classes. 1t was thus that
the power and wenlth of the present
nobility or England were in great
measure constructed. In the age OF
elizabeth the foundation of their
sre, fortunes were largely laid. The
courtiers aud fayorites of that great
Queen were Invested with exclusive
privilege in every branch of Engi sh
trade aud mal uiacturc. In the natur-
al course of events the Ia
vored few .GcQuried enormous wealth,
while the great mass of British sub
jects were permanently consigned to a
position OF inevitable poverty as long
rs those privil ges existed We have
seen a similar resu in this country
i'll tue last Twenty-Five years. Every
possible monopoly in every species
of trade ha. been created by law until
the govornmcnt itself was, duriGg re-
publican administration, dominated
and over. h4duWcd by the vast power
of accumulated wealtN.

This is above all things campaign oil
the people. In this country the men
and women who work for wages are
the majority OF the people. 1t is right,
therefore, that the wage.earners shall at
least divide time with the politicians.
The lawyers and so.callGd political econ
omists who are prGcticed speakers have
no advantage over the man who under
stands the condition OF his own indus
try and can tell plain story. The adj
vantage is all with the man who has
practical knowledge OF practical thing.
There are hundreds OF workingmen
who can instruct and entertain an aud
fence OF thousand or perhaps five
thousand people, just as they do
the little groups OF their fellow work
men who gather about them ut the noon
meal or after the days work is done. 1t
would not be bad idea for the work
ingmen to arrange amongthemselves for
short tariff talks once week, twice a
week or six nights in week at various
places in the city. 1t would not be
necessary to hire a hall or rent u band.
These gatherings in the hands OF men
who work for wages could be made
conspicuous feature of the campaign, and
one OF the most powerful agencies for
good. They could be conducted with
out expense, for it is not even necessary
to erect a speaking stand. A dry goods
box would serve the purpose. Ii the
workingmen OF Wheeling would take up
this idea, they could make it go.
