CAPITAL AND LABOR.

Capital is wealth; Labor is wealth.
Capital is useless without Labor and
Labor is worthless without Capital.
They fundamentally be harmonious.
When Capitalist kills laboring
man he destroys part of that which
is useful to him. When laboring
man destroys the Property of the
capitalist or injuries the capitalisthe
destroys that which is his best friend
and ally. The shocking scenes that
have been enacted in Chicago and
other western sections by so called
strikers, are exemplifcations of the
uselessness Of these two mutual re-
lations, Labor and capital, warning
upon each other. Violence cannot
be upon either side, and without
violence, coercion cannot be tolerated
by the government as to either side.
Peaceably leaving each other alone re.
quires no actionupon the part of1egal
authorities. Attacks upon persons or
property, or the interference with

rather plain young man, and Miss
Maggie BARLEY, the handsomest girl
in South wheeling, we're to have been
married in st. Joseph's Cathedral
by Bishop Donohoe tomorrow morn
ing. One thousand invitations were
issued. Last night William called
on his sweetheart, leaving her in a
good humor about midnight. This
morning when Maggie's mother call
ed her she found her missing and the
bed not rumpled. A few months
ago Maggie, in a fit Of pique, Tilted a
man she is said to have loved. She
is supposed to have gone to Pitts
burg to meet him, as it is known
they have been writing to each other.
Bace is heartbroken. Today thirty
handsome wedding presents were re-
ceived from friends.

THE TARIFF BHL

The Tariff bill has finally emerged
from the Senate, and is now the sub
ject of a conference between the two
Houses. 1t was very much changed
during its progress through the
House; it was almost revolutionized
in its progress through the Senate.
1t will be subjected to further change
in the attempt of the two Houses to
harmonic their differences. There
will, of course, be concessions on
both sides. 1t is not probable that
the Senate would surrender all it's
693 amendments, particularly that
relating to sugar. On the other side
the prospect is, that the House will
be very firm with regard to any dis
elimination in favor of refined sugar
and will insist on free iron ore and
coal. If the bill as it passed the
Senate could be substantially adopt
ed, the new tariff would be far less
revolutionary than that proposed by
the House. But, on the other hand,
it is certainly in much greater antag-
onism to the Democratic National
Platform, which denounced Repub.
lican protection as "a fraud, a rob-
berry Of the great majority of the
American people for the benefit of
the few" declared the Mckinley Law
to be "the eliminating atrocity Of
class legislation" and promised to
repeal that measure, and give the
country tariff based on the idea of
equalizing the burdens of the people.
This was to be "one ofthe beneflcent
results" that should follow the action
of the people intrusting the Demo
cratic Party with power. So far the
rule of the party has been barren in.
deed of "benefcent results" and
there is at present no indication that
the people of the country will con-
slider the new Tariff act as in any
wise coming under that head.

Debs-the man whom every
body knows and whom nobody knew
a week ago or will remember week
hence-expressed a deliberate opin-
ion last week that bloodshed was i'm
minent and that if civil war came
ninety per cent. of the people would
be on one side and ten per cent. on
the other. The mighty Debs never
said truer thing than this, only it
is not true as he meant it. Ninety
per cent. of the people would be
against him and his anarchistic strik
ers, and not in favor of him as he be-
1ieves.

ELECTION CONTEST ENDED.-On
Tuesday night the election contest
of Mr.. G. G. Cutler against W. S.
Henshaw was concluded in special
council meeting by declaring the
contestant, G. G. Cutler elected.
There have been numerous meetings
of the Council and the attorneys can
not be blamed for protracting the
trial, as both were anxious to have
the matter ended. On Tuesday
night the evidence all being in, bhe
Council went into executive session
to take the votes on the evidence. 1t
was decided that three of the votes
counted for DR.. Henshaw were H.
legal votes and that the actual vote
received by said Henshaw for coun-
Gilman from the First Ward was l31
while G. G. Cutler, his opponent re-
ceiYed 1874. The final motion was
that G. G. Cutler be declared elected,
that certificate of election be issued
to him, and that he be regularly
sworn in as a member of the Coun-
Gil from the 1st Ward. Mr.. U. S.
G. Piizer represented Mr.. Cutler
and Mr.. D. G. Westenhaver Mr..
Henshaw. Mr.. Westenhaver took
exceptions at intervals to the rulings
of the Council and had the Mayor
sign same in order to appeal. 1t is
supposed the case will be taken to
the Circuit Court on a writ of GER
tiOrdri.

requires tire action of the courts for
the enforcement OF the law and in
the event oe forceful opposition
thereto, call for the strong arm of
the Government to maintain the
government and to enforce public

that people thus act foolishly outside
the puryiew of the law, possibly un-
der the Imagination of self consti-
tuted leaders that they caa overturn
all law and all authority. To sag
nothing OF the older heads, there is
a growing young manhood in this
country that will see our Republican

the channels Of the law, ard not
through criminal violence and dis
turbing the peace of the country.

The White City, of Chicago has
been seriously transformed. Fire
and flame have swept the grand
structures erected for the grandest
exposition ever held in the word ;
and now to this must be added car

looting; which altogether means an
era that is likely to change the name
of White City to the Red City of

THE COMPANY is RESPONSIBLE FOR
It's AGENTs.-The United States
Court of Cheyenne has just render
ed decision of great interest to in
surers, as it inyalidates the clause
found in most policies, that no agent
has authority to alter the clauses
printed on a policy. 1t appears
that a Mr.. Henderson went to an
agent there and applied for an insur
ance on his life, stating that he was
afraid of being shot by an enemy,
who he had reasons to believe, was
looking for him. The agent told
HIM that he would give him policy
covering his case, and Henderson
paid him the premium. Shortly at
terward he was killed by his enemy,
as he had anticipated, and the COM
pany refused to pay the insurance to
the widow, as the policy contained
clause expressly exempting the COM
pany in case death resulted from the
doings of some party with declared
hostile intent. The court, says that
the clause does not count, and that
the money must be paid.

CHIoAGo's GREAT STRIKE.-The
great strike has assumed alarming
proportions-the eyes of the whole
country being turned to Chicago in
anxious expectancy. The President
ordered the U. S. regulars to Chi
cago and ordered martial law, which
was the course General Miles has de-
sired for some time, as it will give
him military power to quell at the
point of the bayonet all destruction
of property by the rioters. The
President also issued a proclamation
admonishing all persons from aiding
or countenancing the obstruction of
the United States mails in the State
Of Illinois. All who disregarded this
warning will be regarded as public
enemies. Several times the rioters
have been fired on, killing and
wounding men in its misguided
ranks. The mob has burned and in
other ways injured great quantity
of groperty-the Pennsylvania Rail-
road being heavy loser, having 667
cars burned by the mob. At the re.
quest of Archbishop Feehan the
pastors of all the Roman Catholic
Churches in Chicago urged their
members to avoid occasions and
places of disorder. The President
says that rioting, incendiarism and
disorder must go-if not by gentle
means, then by cold steel.

A GIRLS PLUCK SAVED HER.-The
pluck and the steady aim of Miss
Lizzie Painter, a Hopewell music
teacher. saved her from the hands of
two tramp ruffisns. Late Saturday
night she was driving from one Of
her scholars home to Hopewell, near
West Chester, Pa. In lonely part
of the road man, evidently a tramp,
jumped out from the underground
at the roadside and told her to" crawl
down out of that wagon" For an
answer Miss Painter raised her re-
voIyer and shot, and with a cry of
pain the man dropped his hold on
the horse with bullet in his wrist.
just at this moment another man
ran out to catch the horse, and the
young lady fired at him, but missed.
The horse was frightened at the re-
port and rushed down the road be-
fore the second man could stop it.
Since then diligent search has been
made for the tramps, but they have
not been caught. - Winchester Neaos.

try and present depression in values
of the productive prices of every
kind call for prompt and decisive
actions upon the part of the people,
regardless of the party connections.
The two great national parties seem
wholly unequal to the problem of
solving the economic question to
give prosperity to our industries.
We therefore arraign the Democratic
party of being un-American in their
financial views as well as tariff views.
We likewise arraign the Republican
party of being more intensely un-
American in theil financial views !;
basing our opinions upon the record
made by their representatives in the
extraordinary and present sessions
of Senate and Congress. The vote
as recorded shows distinctly the
above facts against them. America
