to stand outside the limit to watch the

The march by battalion across the
field was executed handsomely by the
First Regiment this afternoon, and as
the long serried line moved across the
deep green of the field, aligned against
pretty blue sky, it made handsome

A great many of the boys are new to
hard word In the broillng sun as was
apparent from the epidermics which
has begun to peel from their noses and
necks.
At2p. M, Company drill began in the
open field facing the new tents. The
Guards, in large and small companies,
in their neat, blue uniforms, bright
brass buttons, and glistening guns,
lined up in front of the snow-white
tents was a pretty sight. The details
of the company drill were gone through
with in manner most creditable
to the young soldiery. The
field officers mOunted and passing to
and fro on their mettlesome steeds re-
minded one forcibly Of times long since
passed, when war and carnage were the
daily avocation OF the progenitors Of
our brave boys.
At this hour all of the tents are up
covering a broad field many hundred
feet wide and deep with a fringe OF
green hillside and pretty buildings as a
background.
The Second regiment in battalion and
regimental drill on the left front, and
the First regiment on the right front
after company drill was a scene of mill
tary appearance, and one not knowing
that the soldiers many Of them had but
few months experience, would have
said that they were old and experienced
soldiers going through very creditable
exercise. 1t was well worth seeing.
There was very little difference, if
any, in the work of the various compa-
mics.
By the way query arises right here,
Why IS it that at nearly all National
Guard exercises the company, oattSl-
lion and regimental drills take place
with the formation facing and fronting
the mess tents?
While the soldiers were going through
the evolutions the First Regiment band
was playing appropriate and soul-stir-
ring airs.

that, is under arrest, for imbibing in a

West Virginia are here now, or will be
tomorrow.
Captain c. C. Hewitt. of the United
States Navy who, with Lieutenant d.
Ramsey, is to inspect the National
Guards, arrived here this evening from
Saginaw, Mich. Capt. Hewitt is an old
Hancock boy.
Hon. Virgil A. Lewis and several
other prominent Democrats arrived on
the same train.
The street cars are crowded going to
camp and returning to the city, and
tested beyond their capacity as they
shake and rattle along like a corn shell
Ter with adilapidated hopper.
The carettes carry tremendous loads
of people and it takes four horses on the
level smoothly paved streets to pull
them.
John Caywood, of Clarksburg, is regi-
mental bugler for the First.
The Clarksburg Enquirer says: "Capt.
Lee Vance has decided to take Skin
ner' Scott along as his valet. Great
Jews! but won't he get jag on?"
"Skinner'S" here.
Companies G and 1, of Huntington,
are strong in numbers and splendidly
drilled.
One of the most prominent officers Of
the vising soldiers has been making a
spectacle Of himself by getting up big
jag and trying TO carry it into every
place in town. One of the city papers
says he ought to be court martialed.
The paper Is right.
Mr.. c. H. fancy came in over the
Ohio River railroad last night to pay a
short visit to the soldier boys. He left
this afternoon for Charleston.
The camp not being open to the pub

THE INTELLIGENCER' BOGY MAN.
The free trade bogy man is rafting
around the Intclljgeucer sanctum at
great rate. Yesterday, this terrible
hobgoblin had such an effect upon our
ueighbor that it resurrected nearly a
column about JOHN c. CALHOUN and the
south Carolina nuuifers of'32. This sort
Of dead rot doesn't set we'll on the palates
Of intelligent readers. They want some
live talk on the issues Of the day. The
Homestead trouble, for instance. What
does the ntcHigcaecr think OF Lord
CARNEGIE and MS "Triumphal Democ-
racy2"
That would be more to the point
Here is a paragraph from the same
that h,teJigenccr readers would like to
see discussed very much, with some de-
gree Of nerve:
Some establishments in America have
refused 90 recognize the right of men
TO form themselves into trades unions, al
though / am not aware that any concern IN
Great Britain would DARE to take this
position Indeed, it gives one but
a poor opinion of the American
workman If ne permits himself TO be de-
prived of a right which his fellow in Eng
land has conquered for himself long
since"
In this connection, the methods of
Chairman FmCR, Lord CARNEGIE's
right bower, toward his thousands Of
employees deserves some energetic at
tention at the hands of our esteemed
neighbor. We assure our friend in adj
vance that it will be read with avid
ity by hundreds, when a bakers dozen
will not care to glance even at quota
tions concerning JOHN c. CALHOUN and
his cohorts of sixty years ago.

BLENNERHASSETT
HOW WEST VIRG:EIA'S SOLDIER BOYS ARE
COMING
On in the Camp at Parkersburg-They are Getting
Down to Business in Fine Shape and
Make Good Showing.


Special Iete5f0m 70 NE hegEster.
PARKERsBURe, w. VA, July co.
This morning when the civil and mill
tary folks now within the boundary OF
the prettiest little city in West Virginia
awoke, they found the brick paved
streets from the Point to the neighbor-
hood of Camp "Blenney" swept so clean
that they fairly glistened. Everyone
was in holiday attire and the ladies
were busily engaged in making their
pretty homes more attractive and beau
tiful, if possible, in honor Of the occa-
sion OF the visit of the brave and hand
some guardians OF our State.
The children of Heaven only knows
where so many of them came frOm) are
out in groups and masses, delightedly
frantic over the music and military dis
plays, while the men, old and young,
are preparing to do their best to make
the stay of the boys pleasant and COM
Portable. Every soldier one meets has
something to say of pleasing nature
over their cordial reception, and there
is no doubt that before they leave they
will all unite in saying that this season
of military outing has been pleasing
and marked experience of old time cor
diality and friendliness.
The weather is delightful and there
is every prospect of a continuation OF
bright sunshining days.
The crowd which will be here for the
next few days, will from appearance, be
tremendous, as learn this morning that
every room in every hotel and boarding
house in the city has already been
taken.

The Logic of Protection and Labor.
E0eniaQ Post.


For it is natural right that man
should exchange the wealth that he mas
produced for other wealth that better
satisfies his wants, whether that other
wealth be produced in this country or
elsewhere. 1t is also natural right
that a laborer should expend his strength
in producing goods for exchange with
out having his remuneration lessened
by tolls levied upon the materials that
he employs and upon the goods that
are exchanged for his products. II it
is justifiable for an American manu-
facturer TO compel the farmer
who sells his wheat in Liverpool to pay
a tax upon the clothing or the tools
that he receives in exchange, or else to
pay a higher price for the protected
articles, it is justifiable for the Home
stead workmen to compel their en-
ployers to pay them higher wages or
else allow their works to lie idle. If it
is right for American manufacturers to
force their fellow-citizens to buy their
wares through the means Of protec-
tive tariff, it cannot be wrong for
American laborers to force the manu-
facturers to buy their services by ex-
Guiding fellow-laborers from the COM
petition.

The first, and as yet the only sYmp-
tom of beligerency, occurred at camp
last night between two privates. One
Of them was bayoneted through the arm,
inlicting painful wound. The affair
was kept az secret as possible, but it
leaked out. Easy Street, the tough
citizen quarter, was the parade ground
of few soldier boys this morning, but
the detail gathered them in with little
difficulty and marched them all off to
camp.

Last Saturday a few West Virginia
Republicans representing themselves
when up to Deer Park, where Secretary
Elkins was to spend day with. ms
father-in-law, ex-senator Davis Inese
West VIRGINIA Republicans thought they
would find 10 pleasant to spend day IN
that REGION themselves, and hoped 20 oe
able TO induce Mr.. Elkins TO yield 70 the
desire of the Republican party OF west
Virginia TO place himself az the head OF
the State ticket Yesterdays InteltigepceF.
Our esteemed neighbor substantially
admits above the facts as published in
Mondays REGISTER concerning the
Sunday conference Of the Republican
bosses with STEVE EIKINs at Deer
Park. But now that it has been made
public through the REGISTER it at
tempts to make light of the affair.
We opine that the rank and file of
the party, together with a number Of
it's respected and prominent leaders,
who were neither invited nor expected
to be present. will look upon the matter
differently. 1t is admitted in the ex-
PLANTATION above that the would-be tri-
umvirate, composed of Collector White,
Chairman DAWSON aud Editor HART,
called upon Secretary of War ELKINs
.and hoped to be able to induce Mr.
EIK1Ns 70 yield to the desire Of the Re-
publican party of West Virginia to
place him at the head Of the State
ticket"
So far, so good. But why was it not
important enough to make public what
had been done and what was Mr.. Ell
KINs' ultimatum TO the trio of gentlemen
who assumed the responsibility of hold
ing the destinies Of the Republican par
" in the palm Of their hands? If Mr..
ELKINs had favored their opportunities
it would have been promptly herslded
10 the four quarters of the State. Bat
as he peremptorily declined TO be sacri-
feed, and preferred taking his chances
for the United States Senatorship, and
further as it was decided best that the
Hon. j. w. MASON, Commissioner of H.
terual Revenue, should be fixed upon as
the man 90 make the race, it was deemed
prudent TO say nothing about it until
the pulse Of the abSentees was felt.
Our esteemed neighbor belittles it all,
but lets the cat out OF the bag far
enough to convince its readers that all
the REGISTER told of that Sunday con-
ference was true. Watch and wait and
the whole transaction will shortly come
to the surface.

Anderson was paired in favor of the bill
with Mr.. O'Donnell, of Michigan, who
was opposed to 1t, his vote was not lost.
Mr.. Anderson was confined to his resi-

the men for whom warrants arc issued

there would be some general order by
which all Of them could come here, sur

fix. This not having been done, can
not say what we will do. We are now

We have not yet decided on making in

is, however, in general appearance only
that they compare with ALLcOcK's, for
they are worse than worthless, mas
much as they contain deleterious ingre-
