A QUESTION OF WAGES.

Tin plate Congressman NIEDRING-
HAUs has an agent in Pittsburg who is
trying to secure non-union men for his
ST. Louis iron works, to take the place
of the strikers. A Pittsburg officer of
the Amalgamated Association declares
his belief that NIEDRINGHAUS has no
need to send TO Wales for tin plate
cause he hopes to get them cheaper
there. Evidence is offered that twenty
tin plate workers could be picked up
about Pittsburg alone in twenty-four
hours If they were wanted.
1t is a cheering recollection for the
Amalgamated Association, which is now
fighting NIEDRINGHAUs, that it sent
delegations before the Ways and Means
Committee to argue in favor of the in
crease in the tin plate duty-on the
strength Of a pledge by NIEDRINGHAUs
that they would receive more wages
which increase enabled NIEDRINGHAUs
to make a large amount of money by
laying in vast stock of British tin
plate before the duty was imposed and
holding it for an advance.
1t is very strange that the "new in
dustry" for which the country is to be
taxed ten or fifteen millions year, with
the promise that it would benefit the
workmen especially, should require
cheap labor in order to start at all. II
is now plainly declared that it was moi
necessity, but the wish to bring over
cheap men to take the places OF his
striking workmen, that inspired Mr.
NEIDRINGHAUs to ask the Treasury De
partment to nullify the contract labor
law in his behalf.

Interest in the proceedings Of the Insti-

House was crowded to-day with teach
ers and interested spectators, many OF
whom are from distance. Civil Gov
eminent was taken up and was discussed
by Prof. Crago and participated in by a
number OF the teachers present.
Prof. Wade followed in lecture on
examinations, and pointed out the way
in which he thought the present method
of asking a set of questions could be
improved on by using general topics and
questions on all subjects.
Prof. Miller then gave clear exposi-
ton Of the conflict in regard to the is
suing of certificates, but urged COM
pliance with the same to the best OF the
teachers ability, especially in regard to
passing an examination in civil govern
ment, general history and bookkeeping.
He then gave an entertaining lecture
on education and physiology.
Prof. Wade made an able address on
the necessity of teaching manners in
the school room.
At the night session an enjoyable
musical entertainment was participated
in by Mrs. Louise Bailey, OF Washing

A SERIOUS WRECK.
rVO FREIGHT TRAINS CONE TOGETHER NEAR
FAIRMONT.
An Unknown Nan Killed and Three IRAN Asn
Badly Woundsd-kght or Ten Cars De-
stroysd-Trains Running as
Usual.

About a quarter of four o'clock yes
terday morning serious COLLISION Oh
two heavy freight trains occurred Win
fatal results. on the main stem OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, near Ben
sons Ferry, about three and one-naii
miles east of Fairmont. An unknow
person, supposed to be a tramp was
killed, and Engineer John LENNON OF
No o3Oo Market street, this city, En-
gineer James Crogan, OF Newourg'
Brakeman Lyon, Of the same place. ana
Fireman Postewait, residence I'M
known. were all wounded, all OF them
painfully and with the exception OF
Lennon, quite seriously. 1t was gen.
orally reported in this city that Lem
mon had been killed, but this was nap
PLY disproved. Traffic over the ROAD
was blocked until one o'clock in the
afternoon, trains going around by way
of the Pittsburg division.
It seems that the second section OF
No. SO, west bound, with John
Lennon as engineer, had orders to re-
main In the switch just west OF Benson's
Ferry. until the second and last Sec
lions of No. 90 had passed. The
signal on the first section of No. 90 was
overlooked, and an extra train which
had been made up at Fairmont was
taken for section %. Lennon thereupon
backed his train out Of the switch and
started for Fairmont, when he espied
section 90, with James Crogan, Of New
burg, as engineer, coming at high
rate of speed. A collision seemed inev-
liable, and both engineers reversed
their engines, Crogan jumping and
Lemon sticking to his engine. The en-
gines came together with crash,
smashing eight or ten cars into smith
Greens, and scattering the contents
in all directions. The trainmen who
their comrades. The body Of an I'M
known person was found under the
debris cut and mashed into
fearful condition. The body was sup
posed to be that of tramp, who was
found on the east bound train at Cam
eron. The body was brought to Fair
mont and buried in the cemetery yes
terday afternoon. Engineer Lennon
was thrown under car but managed to
crawl out, having received several ugly
cuts and bruises about his head. En-
gineer Crogan was also found to be
severely bruised, but not seriously hurt.
Brakeman Lyon, Of Newburg, is the
worst hurt of the trainmen, one arm
and leg being badly scaded besides
several ugly cuts and bruises. Fire
man Postlewhaite also received some
ugly cuts on his head and his face was
badly bruised. The track was cleared
by one o'clock In the afternoon and
trains are now running as usual. En-
gineer Lennon and one or two of the
other wounded men were brought here
yesterday afternoon, and were attended
by DR.. j. A, Campbell.

EraICs OF FOREIGN TRADE.

No matter what sort Of tobacco Is
planted in certain alluvial Louisiana
parishes, the product will be perique
tobacco, such as cannot be grown else
where, and the same seed planted in
New York or Connecticut will produce
only a common seed-leaf tobacco.
There are many limitations to produc-
tions that are much more mysterious
than these. The New York World gives
a list of some of them:
Locate South Carolina cotton planter
in Brazil, Egypt or India; give him the
same seed, the same implements, the same
kind of soil, and he cannot produce as flne
staple as that which he grows at home.
Put Spanih cutler in Sweden, give him
Spanish ore and forge, and he cannot turn
out Toledo blade. The Smyrna fig is not
reproducible even in California, and the
Cuban workman with Cuban tobacco can
not impart at Key West that fragrance to
cigar which the same man with the same
material does in Havana. The unknown
factor is responsible for it ALL When the
tin-plate section OF the tariff was under
discussion it was stated, and not denied,
that repeated efforts had been made in this
country and on the Continent TO manufac-
ture plate equal to that made in Wales,
but that for some occult reason every at
tempt had failed"
IN this category, also, is included
wool. The sheep which produces the
fine Australian wool in Australia, will
not when transported to the United
States, produce the same wool here.
Thus has Nature placed impossible bar
riers in the way of realization Of the
dream of the high protective spell-bin-
ders-that this country shall be forced
by law to produce everything it needs,
and shall buy nothing Of foreign coun-
tries. This is favored land. It's un-
parallel variations Of climate and soil
enable It to furnish greater variety OF
products, animal, vegetable, and miner
al, and to manufacture at profit
greater range of wares and fabrics,
than any other country. We are,
therefore, enabled to trade with the
world at an advantage, and our highest
material interest lies in promoting COM
merce, by which we must inevitably
flourish beyond any other country. And
this commerce is precisely what the high
tariff policy professedly aims to kill
has we'll nigh killed. Nations with whom
we are prohibited from trading cannot
trade with us, for trade is simply an ex-
change Of commodities. When we try,
by tariff barriers, to shut ourselves in,
commercially, from the world; and do
and be everything within ourselves, we
to large extent throw away and neu-
tralize the vast advantages which Prov
idence has given us, which, rightly
used, would make the whole world trib-
utary to US and increase our national
wealth, prosperity and greatness be-
yond anything yet dreamed Of.

Hon. p. @. Eastman For Governor

Special telegram to the Register.
SIR:-A communication appeared in
the columns Of your paper few days
since suggesting the name OF the Hon.
2. c. Eastman of Marion county as the
standard bearer of the Democratic
party for the Office of Governor at the
next election. l desire to say right here
that il the Democratic party Is wise
and will act solely for the true interest
of the party and people discarding all
fsctional and sectional interest which
the party must do in order to be sue
cessful in the approaching election, the
Hon. P. G. Eastman or some such man
like him, will be made the Democratic
standard bearer. The farming interest
of this State is large, every body knows
this to be true, and the Democratic
party must recognize this element. The
farmers are demanding and appealing
for relief for honest and economic gov
eminent, because upon them falls the
principal burthen of taxation. 1t is
but right and honest that the interests
of this important and numerous class
of citizens should be reduced TO equality
with other and less important interests.
The Democratic party has always been
the implaceable foe and enemy OF in
Justice and wrong, and now let her
come to the front especially espouse
the cause Of the farmers and demand
that their wrong be at once righted. AS
in earnest of our intentions let US nomi-
nate the Hon. P. c. Eastman for Gov
ernor. Mr.. E. is a successful and
thoroughly representative farmer Of
West Virginia, and possesses every
qualification for the Office; he is honest,
he is capable, and would make most
excellent, intelligent, conscientious and
safe Governor. His nomination would
satisfy the farmers, and therefore his
election be assured. Mr.. Eastman is
not an office seeker, but have no doubt
he would accept, il nominated. Let
| the Office seek the man. In other words,
| let the people make the nomination.
In view of the growing discomfort
among the farmers Of West Virginia,
the nomination of the Bon. P. c. East
ham should be made without dissent
ing voice. Mr.. E. is well known
throughout the State, and served his
constituency faithfully in the State SEN
ate in 1872, 1873. 1874 and 1875. 1t
might be we'll to add that every Gov
ernor West Virginia has ever had was q
lawyer, except the Hon. w. G. Steven
son, who was called farmer, but was
probably more newspaper man.

ANOTHER OF PORrER's TRICKS.

The storm Of popular Indignation that
was aroused over the questions which
the Census Office proposed to put to citi-
zens concerning their private diseases,
Indebtedness, ETC., will be well remem-
bered. 1t was an unconstitutional pro-
ceedure and was quickly abandoned.
Now, however, PORTER, proposes to get
at it in another way, by sending a cir
cular to each enumerated person, in
which the citizen is requested to give
the amount of whatever Indebtedness
there may be on his farm or home, the
object for which the debt was incurred,
and so forth.
No citizen can be compelled to answer
these questions, yet the Census office in
serts in each circular slip in red ink
quoting from the Census law, and read
ing:
"Whoever shall willfully fail or refuse
TO supply the information shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be flied in sum not exceed
ing 800"
This law cannot be enforced. No man
can be compelled to make his private
business public, and PORTER knows it.
1t is simply scheme to intimidate peo-
pie into telling things they do not wish
to tell.

brandy. The latter we could not sup

time he returned and bought bottle.

The barn contained large amount OF

was somewhat of mystery from the
fact that no one was known to be about
the barn for some time previous to its
