We have In Spokane camp OF Son
Of Veterans, bearing the name Of John
A. Logan camp No. o. and as the or
der 10 one Of the great societies of the
land. We give brief statement Of its
character and history.
Certain members of the q. A. r.,
and General Logan particularly, con-
ceived the idea Of forming secret So
ciety Of charitable character that
should be under the fostering care of
the Grand Army society aud be, In
time. when the old loyal veterans had
all gone, one that would perpetuate
the memory OF the legal army, its
deeds and the blessings II had secured
10 the land by fostering the principles
of fricndship, charity and loyalty. Only
sons Of soldiers and sailors who served
ON the Union side il the late war and
above the age Of 18 years are eligible
TO membership. II isexpected that the
society will perpetuate itself in time,
always restricting membership TO sons
Of loyal soldiers and male descendants.
The object OF the society is entirely
charitable and loyal. tis strictly nom
partisan and non. sectarian. There is
about the same character oi member

1t has become very popular in the
older states and 10 destined 10 do .
good work, - il aims to keep mp q
high standard Of character and moral.
ity with its membership. II will be.
come ono OF the most extensive socie-
ties in the land.
The camp here was established in
February Of 1856, under command oi
w. w. Witherspoou as captain. Har-
ry Rosenhaupt was at the head OF the
command during its second year and
quits recently H. e. Allen became its
captain for the third year. At pres
ent the membership is about forty
and numbers some OF our leading citi-
gems among the younger men.
There are many loyal soldiers die
sbled by disease contracted during the
desperate campaigns OF the war. Men
who cannot get pensions under the
existing pension laws, good men, true
men, loyal soldiers, whose lives have
Seen painful, dreary sacrifices to the
cause OF union and freedom, who yet
received no wounds, and whose consti-
tuition did not fail until after the war
was over. Poor helpless mortals, ship
wrecked on the ingratitude OF their
country. saved at the cost of their
lifelong happiness. 1t is these mon
that thus society sims to assist by Or
gAnixed effort, coupled with the
strength OF the Grand Amy. Societies
sctuated by such principles and mo-
tives become powers for good.

The Law indicated.

Thursday, Dec. 9Th 1889 will be men,
orable day in the annals Of st. Landry.
On that day three juries of her citizens,
sitting in capital cases, brought in YER
diets of guilty in various degrees..against
the accused, These yerdicts will
show the country that the law and order
loving people of st. Landry are deter
mined to see the laws enforced, and will
at the same time he warming to the
evil disposed element within our borders.
The Courier, in arOusing public senti-
ment to realization of the dangers
which envirOned us. claims some little
credit for these gratifying results; and
putting behind us any personal feeling
we may have in the matter, and still
keeping in view only the general well
fare, we say: Hurrah for old st. Landry,

In The Home of Free Trade.

The globe Democrat says: "In spite OF
excessive cheapness, there are millions in
this country who only taste fresh meat
once week or once fortnight. The
pauper class numbers 100000 out of a
population of 100000; there are 1880
600 receiving less than 1O6d week.
The working classes have only been al
lowed to see the face Of the free trade me-
deal; but there is reverse even more i'm
pOrtant than the face. The face Of the
medal is cheapness; the reverse Of it is
cheap lalOr.'
This is an extract from pamphlet on
the home industries of the British Islands
written by Sir Edward Sullivan, we'll
known English economist. Mr.. Sullivan
is on the ground, knows what he writes
about, and has no interest in painting
the picture darker than the facts war
rant. Free trade in Great Britain is
tried under conditions most favorable to
its success, but even there it has not pro-
dused the benefits which its champions
predicted that it would bring about.

The Fight on.

The following item from the Wellsburg
Local gives one an idea of how they play
practical jokes up there: A big cooking
main was to have taken place at the old
soap factory, on Panther RUB, about a
mile from town, last night. But it did
not come of, circumstances preventing.
Several small fights between birds
owned by Wellsburg parties have taken
place there within the past month or so,
and last night was the time set for another
fight, and accordingly crowd of dozen
sports left town about O'Clock last even
ing for the pit. They carried their birds
under their arms, and things went on
pleasantly until the cid factory was
reached, when there free-for-all race in
which all the sports INDUCED. There WAS
some little delay at the door, hut finally
AN entrance was made, and they b d just
entered the dark building when voice
cried out, Get out of here, you blsnkety
blank blanks. You have been carrying
this thing on too long now" bang, bang.
Well, to say the spots ran would be tell
ing the truth mildly. Down the path they
went, followed by two stalwart chaps.
There was a splash as one by one they
crossed the run. The chaps fired elk loads
from double-barreled shot guns as the fee
ing humanity sped on. Such running has
never been heard of in the history of this
country since the battle OF Bull Run.

INDUSTRIAL MATTERS.
AN1NTgRPSTING NETTING OF THE WEST
BRN CUT NAIL ASSOCIATION
Promised for Wsdnssday-An Important Suit TO b
Tried fo-Day-The A. A. Reunion
and Other Notes.

The REGISTER some days ago contained
an extended account of the proposed reduc-
ton in the wages of nailers, which was
recently accepted by those at the Bellaire
nail works; and the statement at that time
that the reduction would in all likelihood
soon become general in all factories in the
Ohio Valley, is gradually being realized.
The reduction was 80 per cent. on five
penny nails and sill sizes below, and from
five penny upward the reduction
was 121 per cent. The Bellaire nailers
were the first to accept the reduction
but since that time the LaBelle and the
Laughlin nailers have agreed te accept the
same terms. The Bsnwood mill will
no doubt be the next to follow suit, 30
that it will not be long until all the mills
in the valley will be running on the same
basis, and such a basis that they will
have a much better chance to compete
with the wire nail.
The Western Cat Nall Association meets
in this city on Wednesday, and in view OF
the changes that are taking place IN the
situation, the prospects are that the meet
inn will be an unusually interesting one,
and no doubt important steps looking TO
the betterment OF the cut nail trade will
be taken.
