Solution of the Labor Question.
Hard times and the suffering of laboring
men were caused by under consumption
rather than by over production. But if
the feet of the drunkard's children could
be covered, the homes that are desolate
on account of rum could be furnished,
there are millions of money that would
flow in the channels of legitimate trade
instead of going into the tills of the rum
monopoly.

A Duel in the Dark.

A Duel IN the OaFk.
Cornelius O'Dowd, in one Of his inim-
liable essays, tells us that once upon a
time in the County Of Glare a quarrel
occurred in the hunting field between
two gentlemen whom we will call Cap
tain Robbins and W. Jones, Esq. Very
hot words passed between them. 'Let
us settle the business at once" cried the
captain; II have pistols in the house. !"
Nothing BETTER" said the squire; "I'm
your man It was at length decided
that they should fight in the stable yard,
at fifteen PAGES, each man to hold a
lantern as mark for his opponent.
"Where are you, you scoundrel?' cried
the captain, when they came out into
the yard. 'sI'm here, you shoeblack, -
replied the squire. ''Stand out bold, !"
said the captain. cts what I'm doing, :"
said the other. 'sGive the word and no
more talking" 'Get behind the pump,
yer honor, get behind the pump before
you fire" whispered the groom, pulling
the captain by the coat. He did so, and
when they blazed it was the squire who
got it, and it was more than three months
before he could get out again.

There will be a big crowd Of Wheel
ingites 60 up to Washington, Pa. to-
morrow to participate in the immense
daylight parade to be held there, and
hear that favorite champion Of protec-
ton, Governor William Mckinley, who
will address the citizens OF Washington
and surrounding counties tomorrow
afternoon.
The Young Mems Republican Escort
Club and Tariff Graduates will 60 up in
their beautiful uniform. accompanied
by a brass band and the Black Eagle
drum corps. The club has arranged for
a special train over the Baltimore 4
Ohio, to leave the depot here at eleven
o'clock q. M, arriving there shortly
after twelve. The train will be q
through one, making but one stop, and
that at West Alexander. The fare has
been fixed at the low rate Of n dollar
for the round trip, which is low enough
for any person. 49,,
The cars used by the club and their
friends will BIO tastefully decorated, n
everything done to make all who take
the trip enjoy themselves.
Pittsburgh will send down a large de-
legation of political clubs and bands,
tho meeting having been largely adver-
| tised there for some time past. 1t has
also been well advertised through the
country districts, and farmers coming
in to town will bring their baskets along
| with them and their families, and have
a regular old fashioned harvest home
picnic. /,
The parade will be a grand one and
will take place at one o'clock. After
the parade, Governor Mckinley Will
address the crowd on the fair grounds.
which will undoubtedly be crowded
with people OF all parties, anxious to
hear the famous author OF the tariff
law now so popular with all American
| citizens. Besides Major Mckinley,
there are promised other great speak
ers, among whom are General D. II.
Hastings and Hon. John Dalzell, OF
| Pennsylvania. The latter named gen
tleman addressed a large meeting in
| Wheeling four years ago, and vii! be
remembered as one Of the finest takers
| ever heard here.
The Washington county Republican
committee has made all arrangements
for the entertainment OF visitors, and
there is no question that the reputation
OF hospitality for which that section ia
noted will be fully sustained.
A letter received yesterday asked for
the number Of uniformed men to be ex-
pected, SO that the ladies OF the enter
tainment committee could arrange for
them, and from this it is to be judged
that the members of Wheeling's nobby
escort club are to be well cared for.
Let all who can go to Washington to-
morrow, andhelp swellthe bigtime they
are sure to have.

ness OF the club, Louis S. Deleplaine, jr.,
in a few well chosen remarks introduced
the speaker, who was greeted with APP
plause, He opened his remarks by con-
graduating the club as being the repre-
sentatiyes OF the young Democracy who
will be the first in the line in the COM
ing battle, and on the clubs name,
which was the synonym OF all that was
Democratic. There being but two ques-
tions to discuss, the tariff and the
''foace" bill, he began On the formet,
and made a very earnest speech, which
was warmly applauded.

Gen. Stewart l. Woodford, OF New
York, will address the Wheeling and
Ohio county voters in the Grand Opera
House on Thursday evening, October 8.
at s o'clock. General Woodford is
known universally as the silver.tongued
orator OF the Empire state, and those
who heard and remember his magnif-
cent address during the Garfield cam
paign, when he spoke to the voters
from the platform erected on the
wharf, and four years later at the Opera
House, know he is Justly entitled to the
name. His coming will be hailed with
delight, and it is safe TO predict that
the Grand will not be half large enough
to hold those desiring to hear him.
The Young Mems Escort club will, OF
course, do escort duty on this occasion,
as it will on all others.
