DEcoRATIoN.-As the Both day of
May rolls round each year, the beau
tiful custom of strewing flowers over
the graves of the soldiers of the late
war is kept At an early hour the
business houses and many private
residences were beautifully and
tastefnlIy decorated with flags,
streamers, bunting, flowers and ever
greens. But few of the business
houses were closed. The morning
opened bright, and from indications
it looked as If there would be big
crowd present to witness the i'm
pressive ceremonies to be conducted
under the auspices of John ]. Pol
sley Post G. A. r., with Hon. R. r.
Howard in command, as Master of
Ceremonies; but about 8 a. M, the
weather became threatening, and in
a little while after, the rains de-
scended, which kept up all day
without cessation, dispensing the
crowds, and materially interfering
with the plans of the Post. At
about II a. M, company of little
girls to number of forty-two, all
gaily dressed, and carrying bouquets
and wreathes of flowers, under com
lnand of Mrs. G. NJ. NJ. Hooff, who
had drilled them for the occasion,
marched to the Court House, where
recitations, singing and music was
INDUCED in. The Kanawha and
Ohio train arriving about this time,
brought Governor Wilson, who was
invited to the Court House, where
he addressed the large audience that
had gathered there. he made a
most excellent and appropriate
speech for the occasion. He was
followed by Hon. 81. R. Howard
and others in short speeches. The
rain still continuing, the eelebrators
were dismissed, and a committee of
the G. A R. appointed to visit the
several cemeteries and place flowers
upon the graves of all soldiers, both
&Union and Confederate. Had it not
been for the bad weather, Point
Pleasant would have had the best
celebration of this day ever seen
here In the evening, after the re-
turn of the committee from the Gem
-eteries, the Post appointed a com
mittee to wait upon Mrs Hooff, who
presented her on the part of John j.
PoIsley Post, G. a. r., of this city,
through Capt. Jos. Helm, in feeling
speech, a silver. card receiver, in the
shape of four-leaf clover, bearing
the following inscription:
Compliments
John ]. PolSIey Post,
No. IL, G. y. h
Mrs. G. W. II. HOof,
May SOth, 1859.
Mrs. Hooff gracefully accepted
the present, and responded in a very
pretty speech of thanks.
AT OTHER POINTS.
The day was properly observed at
Pisgah Church, by Chas. Morrow
Post, No. 80. G. A R. The grafton
was delivered by Hon. C. E. Hogg.
About 500 people were present.
Decoration day was duly remem-
bcred at VOLTS Valley school house.
The rain poured down, but rs G. A.
r boys marched to the music
of the coIored band of this place,
and covered the graves with flowers.
After dinner, appropriate addresses
were made by Rev. q. Scantlin, B.
S. Smith, W. II. Howard, and James
E. Menager. Though the day was
bleak and dreary, the boys from
here say they had a splendid time,
and would not have missed it for
twice the rain and mud.

RIVER NEws.-Tbe boom at st.
Adams and Elk gave way Fri
day morning. and let out half of
million of saw logs and thousands
of railroad ties. The Kanawha
rose very rapidly during Friday
and Saturday, bringing out on the
rise lumber, logs, slaves, and ties,
barges, &c. Our wreckers were
busy catching and saving all this
kind of property they could.
a costly barge belonging to Arm
strong Bros, broke loose and run
out into the Ohio, where it sunk.
A barge containing about 5000
bushels of coal broke loose from
Armstrong Bros. Landing, and
drifting against the Kanawha River
Bridge pier, broke in two and sank
Immediately.
A barge belonging to Darst's
Landing, broke away and drifted
out into the Ohio.
The steam ferry boat, Charlie
Stone, belonging to the Stone Bros,
of this city, arrived here Sunday
night. She is a model craft and was
built at Wheeling. She is intended
for the Ohio River ferry.
The rivers are rising very rapid
ly at this point. The Ohio water
and the drift and debris from the
upper Allegheny commenced pass
ing this point Monday. It is said
that many of the bodies of those
drowned passed down in the drift.
The Little Kanawha run out Fri
day, carrying away over a million
dollars worth of timber Six men
were drowned while trying to save
their timber.
The damage done to timber men
along the Great Kanawha and its
tributaries by the sudden rise in the
river, can hardly be estimated. No
lives are reported lost.
The Andes was twenty-four hours
late at this point on her up trip.
The people living in the low lands
adjoining town, are becoming unea-
sy about the rising waters.
But little damage was done to
river men at this point as they had
warning of the approaching danger
and prepared for it by securing
their property.

the mouth of Kanawha, Sunday
night.

TWO SIDES TO THE CASE.

1t may be all right for the United States
to undertake the preservation of order and
the punishment of crime among the guano-
workers on islands unclaimed by other
countries; but if it does so, it should either
provide for maintaining impartial justice at
the location of the works or should take
care that it does not act without hearing
both sides of the case. The report that
United States war vessels are on the watch
for the ships in which the Navassa rioters are
coming home, with the intention of putting
them in prison as soon as they reach land,
indicates need of remembering the duty of
impartiality.
Two stories of the Navassa riots have been
told; and SO far as the public can judge that
Of the workmen sounds altogether the most
probable. That of the company assigns
neither cause for the outbreak nor explana-
ton of its cessation. That of the workmen
states that the outbreak was caused by
abuse and violence on the part of the en-
ployers, and that it was quelled by the
moderate men among the workmen. The
United States should remember that if it is
its duty to punish disorder among laborers
it is no less its duty to protect workipgmen
against abuse by employers. 1t should also
be sure when it imprisons workingmen for
riot, that real justice does not require the
Imprisonment of the people on the othey side
for the violence which provoked the riot.

TIGHT MONEY PREDICTIONS.

The Tightening of the money market in
New York was one of the leading features
of business during the past week; and its
significance is emphasized by the declara-
tion of leading banking houses that rates as
high as Is to 25 per cent may rul between
now and January L As these are excessive
rates, the change from the old condition of
monetary ease is marked. The causes
probably include an undue spread among
the spectators Of Wal street and the'out-
ward movement OF gold, caused by large
purchases of foreign goods and the ex-
penditures of American travellers abroad.
There is no reason why this stringency
should affect other interests than the specu-
lative ones The separation has been some
what clearly preserved, between legitimate
business and the business CANDLES, of late
years; and the Treasury purchases of bonds
that are called out by these high interest
rates will probably prevent the stringency
from being felt by legitimate trade. In the
meantime, little squeezing of the initiation
out Of Wall street will not harm the country
at large.

AGAINST OVERHEAD WIRES.

The convention of fire engineers, as will
be perceived by our local columns, has
Joined in the general protest against over
head electric light wires, and has adopted
some very stringent resolutions concerning
the course which the heads of fire depart
ments should take in refusing to work their
men where those wires are permitted.
When we reflect upon the facts in the
case, we can hardly disapproye even this
radical action. The obstruction which the
ordinary electric wires interpose to the oper-
ations of the fremen in city districts has
long been recognized. By itself it should
have been sufficient to secure the prompt re-
moval of the wires. But when TO that
trouble is added the presence of the electric
light wires, which as soon as they are cut to
permit the fremen to go to work, may turn
every wire in the vicinity into an instru-
ment of death, the danger is multiplied by
an infinite factor.
The dangers of freman's work are great
enough without having the hazard of death
by electric shock added to them. The fire
engineers are right in protesting that they
should not be expected to work with that
fatal possibility hanging over them.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, MONDAY, OC7
TEE ExPosITIONs FUNDS.

The statement of Mr.. S. S. Marvin that
the Exposition still has to pay $4,000 on
its buildings will cause surprise among
those who understood from the announce
ments prior to the opening of the exhibition
that all the money had been raised either by
subscriptions or by loans.
However that may be, the public will
readily agree that after the demonstration
that has been made of the possibilities of
such an institution it must not be permitted
to be hampered by debt Not only has the
Exposition itself yielded a large revenue,
which will be used in improving the attrac-
tions for the future, but the increased busi-
ness which it has brought to certain leading
interests in the city has been very large.
With such success under the difficulties
which attended the recent show, the gains
that are to be secured for the future should
prompt ready response to all the needs Of
the Exposition Society.
1t is practically certain that the Exposi-
tion will possess greatly enhanced attrac-
tions next year, and bring a much larger
business to this city. The mere instinct of
pecuniary profit should make Pittsourg
quick to see that its work is not hampered
BY insuffciency in its resources.

against competition, to the effect that it is
rulnous on account of the wasted capital
in the way of duplicating plants, it is prin-
cipally successful in demonstrating the
large amount that it does not know about
the methods by which competition in the
natural gas supply might be preserved. If
itdid not take itfor granted, as it invariably
does that every proposition to preserve COM
petition in the gas supply means a new
system of pipes for every competing gas
producer, it might be able to bring to the
discussion at least primary knowledge of
the means by which competition might be
preserved.
If the Derrick'S claim that competition in
the natural gas business is impossible, had
to be accepted, it would go far toward
demonstrating that combination on the part
Of the producers, with its attendant strikes
and boycotts, is their only means of self
protection,
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-10-21
LOGIC FOR THE CORPORATIONS.

The amiable and disinterested OIL CITY
Derrick is pleased to approve the position
of THE DISPATCH that popular boycott
against the natural gas companies of the
Northwestern Pennsylvania towns is not
the right method of regulating charges; but
its disspprovsl is visited upon us for assum-
ing ''that the corporation must always be
wrong, and that those who oppose it must
always be right"
Since our cotemporary's tender suscepti-
bilities on behalf Of the corporations are so
narrowed up by the supposed injustice, II is
worth while to state that THE DISPATCH
did not pass any judgment on the rates of
the gas companies involved in this dispute,
Tor two reasons: First, that it had no exact
information as to the rates charged; and
second, that it did not deem that question
important in the point it was discussing.
What it did point out was that whether
rates were high or low, the system of boy
colts and strikes, being the inevitable result
OF combination, was not the just or natural
vay to regulate charges for public services.
But when the sensitive advocate of the
'ical monopoly combination proceeds to
old the regular corporate argument
