We again urge that our merchants and
manufacturers respect the request that
has been made by the Chamber of
Commerce and suspend business at 8
O'Clock this afternoon, in order that they
and their employees may witness the lay.
lug of the cornerstone OF the chambers
new home. No more important event than
the commencement of work on this struc.
ture has ever taken place in the business
history of Richmond, and public appre-
cation of this should be signalized by a
general attendance upon tAe formal cere-
monies of this evening. In no better way
could expression be given to the public
spirit Of Richmond, 10 say nothing of the
fact that to make the day half-holidav
would be no more than proper recogni-
ton of the untiring labors of those who
have made the enterprise possibility.

Quaker Guns.

There are so few speakers engaged in
Virginia in speaking for WEAVER that
perhaps orr friends Of the Peoples party
might do we'll to plant few Quaker guns
here and there in the Old Commonwealth.
Certainly the pospect of securing the vote
of Virginia for WEAVER Is unpromising
indeed. Probably he will not carry a
single precinct in the State. Possibly the
whole Peoples party will disappear or fall
into the ranks of the Democratic party
before the sth of November. We do not
predict that such will be the case, but we
can say that It ought to be. The contest
in Virginia this fall is between the Repub-
licans and the Democrats. The Peoples
party ought to vote for the Democratic
nominees. The contest is between Pro-
tectionists and anti Protectionists, and the
Peoples party ought to vote with the anti
Protectionists. The contest is between
the friends aud the enemies of the force
bill, and the Peoples party ought to vote
with the enemies of chat bill. So. whether
the Quaker guns above mentioned be
planted or not, the People's-party men
ought not to vote with the enemies Of the
South and her policy.

CO-ODeration.

ANY proposition which holds out to the
public the hope of solving the labor pro-
blem-that ia. the hone ofmaking the inte-
rests of labor and those OF capital identi-
calls worthy of the consideration of every
good citizen. For our part we have never
been able to see that any form of co-ope-
ration which has come under our notice
was anything more than temporary make
shift. If you build dam ten feet high
acIoss a stream the water will rise 20 that
height. IL the water runs over the dam,
aud YOU raise the dam by ten feet more, the
water will soon rise TO that level. So all
cooperative schemes answer temporary
purpose, and work very well until the
troubled waters again reach the height TO
which your artificial dam has compelled
them TO rise. Nevertheless. we rejoice to
find Mr.. NJ. T.. INGALLS,, the distinguished
railroad president and manager, coming
out on this question. His experience
ought to be worth more than ours or any
body else's theories. We are glad TO see.
TOO, that Mr.. MURAT HALsTEAD has taken
Mr.. INGALLS, in hand. So we will fall back
20 the rear and let HALsTEAD be heard He
says:
1.-The proposition Of the distinguished railroad
president and manager Mr.. NJ. b. Ingalls, In
favor Of combination between the capital SITS
and workingmen on railroads, bv which they
shau cooperate and make an equitable division
Of profits, attracts attention. This IS due In
part 20 the high reputation of Mr.. Ingalls,, and
an part TO the courage with which he tackles
question that. while II may attract because there
is novelty in the suggestion Of treatment, II dis
mays with its dIfnculties those who enter upon
details and seek seriously for n solution Mr..
ingalls, has the Idea that when road pays ali
charges. including fair return on tho invest
ment, the surplus may be divided among the
lnborers-,hai Is 20 say, the employees, not OIL
GERS, OF the road.
"Mr. ingalls, Is probably mistaken II he be-
Meves such an adjustment would be permanent
~ satisfactory TO labor organizations. There Is
precisely the same opening for demagOey under
This plan that there rs with existing arrange
ments. First, the prevailing labor idea il that
the government should gobbe the roads for the
people, witch means 20 double the operating ex-
penses. But that aside, demagogy could put In
its work 10 tire, ways aud prevent the peace

he proposes. First. II would soon DO

money, the rate Of investment 20 be paid before

tlon Of the unions. Third, Il these troubles we're
furmounted, as they could not DO without
great change, improvement and enlargement
ii tie labor organizations, IL would become ne
cessary that the executive authority Of the road
shoald be located In the labor rather than the
capital, and Mr. Ingalls, would probably be voted
cut, Notwithstanding the division Of the surplus"

West Virginia.

The opinions expressed by ALFREp CALD-
WELL. ESQ.,. Attorney General of West Vir-
GINA. in the report which appeared IN our
issue Of yesterday of an interview with
him on the subject Of the condition OF
politics in the State, arc founded in facts
and will prove TO be true.
As to the force bill. let Us say that when
the war between the States ended the
Union men Of Yves. Virginia were ten
times as hostile to their "rebel" neigh
bors as we're the Union men Of even New
England. The laws which during and
after the war were passed N that State
were q disgrace 10 the people there who
favored them, and as oppressive rs any laws
that were ever passed in any country with
the same objects in view. The West Yir-
einis Union men. or Republicans
these were ia that State almost synony-
. nous terms--tried TO exclude from Office
every person who sympsthized with the
Confederate cause or with the mother State
in Der opposition 10 the division Of Virginia
INTO two States A rebel lawyer could
Tot practice IN the courts. A rebel doctor
vas no better. No rebel could hold Office.
And az the best people in that State were
rebels so called, aud all the Offices were
in the possession of the worst class OF the
community, the reader can guess what
sort Of officials West Virginia was at that
time blessed With. We once asked re.
spectacle West Virginia Union man how
it happened that the return Of peace be-

Mr.. Harrison and tho Force Bill

We have shown again and again that
not only Mr.. HARRIsoS's party but himself
Is pledged to the support of the force bill.
We cannot imagine that the Republican
pominee--the President of the United
States himself-would dare TO take up
even one plank in the platform of that
party. The Minneapolis convention
pledged the Republican party TO the sup
port ofthat Republican measure-the force
bill. Mr.. HARRIsoS recommended the
same bill, or recommended bill TO the
favorable action of Congress. Indeed,
there is nothing for the Republicans 10
donor for Mr.. HARRISON 20 debut to
strike out from the shoulder for the force
bill II is his measure. 1t is his party's
measure. IL is the one thing which all
good Democrats detest.
But il may be claimed that Mr. HARRI-
Son has never advocated the force bill
which was defeated in the last Congress,
nor any other specific force bill. But this
would be q fimsy excuse TO set mp for the
President. In his messages he advocates
D force bill-or several force bills, If each
recommendation referred to different
bill. Therefore, he must be held response
BILE for all the detestable feasures of the
force bill which has obtained so bad a
name throughout the Union.
But the fact is that one force bill is as
bad as another. Any one of them will
prove TO be but the entering wedge to the
passage of worse one. The first one will
go 10 only certain length. Possibly Mr..
HARRISON will undertake TO furnish o
"bill of particulars" But let HIM modify
the bill he advocates as he may. the fatal
objection to 1t will still exist-namely.
That il plves the way TO legislation in
fnitely worse. Mr.. HARRISON may protest.
His protest will not avail with the malig-
nants. Let the Republicans once get
foundation upon which to build-a force
bill. however guarded-and they will
erect structure as different from Mr..
HABNsoS's as st. Psurs, London. is from
what his grandfather's log-cabin in Ohio
was in the year 1910.
Yes, one force bill is as bad as another,
Seeing that any bill which may be passed
next winter may be different from the one
which the Republicans are now advo-
eating. Surely the people are not so I'M
wise ~ TO allow themselves to be tied
piecemesl-now by their arms, next by
their legs, next by their bodies.

tween the sections found euch characters
In all the offices Of bis State as we had ur-
derstGod occupied them. He answered
that the propertv-holders did not know
whilst war was fragrant whether the rebels
or the Union men were going TO succeed,
and 80 were afraid 10 run the risk Of the
sequestration or conhscation Of their pro-
perty.
Ia IL az ell likely that State which has
gone through such condition Of things
Rs obtained in West Virginia for number
of years after the close OF tho war between
the States will now shoulder the burthens
which she long ago cast of? Will that gal
liant little Commonwealth readopt the
ironclad oathg viii she require oil her
officials from the highest TO the lowest 20
humble themselves in any way before the
bad Unionists OF that Slater Not she.
No other State IN the Union except per-
haps ennessee--ceftainly no other than
border State--ever suffered from malig-
nant Unionists. oppressive laws, and
Draconian code more than did the gallant
little mountain State, whose motto is.
Mountainous are always free" II these
mountaineers are free, a. they are, they
will vote the Democratic ticket next No
vember. Let not the Republicans fatter
themselves that they can this year carry
any State which, like West Virginia, has
already exDerienced the horrors of force
bill 10 tho sorm Of disbolical State legisls-
ton.
Mr. CALDWELL calls attention to the
fact that there will be large ne
gro vote of workmen imported into
West Virginia from the black belt
where there is much railroad work GO
ing on. The reader will understand
from this remark of Mr.. CALDwELLs
that there is no registration-law in West
Virginia which might operate to exclude
these negroes from the ballot-box.
As was done once before. these negroes
are taken IN gangs into West Virginia
and there made TO vote the Republican
ticket. We should rather say that the
attempt is made to allow them TO vote,
but the gallant Democratic boys OF
that region generally manage IN one
wav and another 10 keep the most OF
such unlawful ballots out of the ballot
box.
Mr.. ELK1Ns's influence in West Virginia
has already been discounted. II is q per-
sonal influence. and includes few or no
Democrats on election-days.
Let Virginia not fear for the fate of West
Virginia. The daughter will prove true
TO the mother and the Democratic party.
And We think we can send TO the daughter
The positive assurance that the mothers
vote is safe for CLEVELAND and STEVENSON.
