BARELY ONE BUILDING BILL.
This Congress Passes But 81 Single A p
prnDriation Measure.

Washington, D. c., Aug 10.-In com
parison with its most recent predecessors
the Fifty-third Congress bids fair to be-
come noted for its abstinence from public
building appropriations. Although two
sessions have nearly passed and although
many bills large and small have been re-
ported from the proper committees, but
one solitary act has succeeded in passing
the gauntlet of DIRECTORS III both houses
and obtaining the Presidents signature.
After the experience of Wednesday, when
the House committee on public buildings
was given the day and could not succeed
in passing u single bill on the calendar
because of the economical tendencies Of
several members from the South, those
who had pinned their faith upon the sue
cess of sundry building projects for their
districts have abandoned hope of secur-
ing anything which involves an appro-
priatiOn. Particularly is this true Of the
Chicago members who have waged an
arduous and uphill campaign to bring to
the attention of Congress needs OF the
postal service of their city for adequate

NIarShfiel and Pullman

In answer to the senseless CHARGE noda
by the Democratic press that Mai. IJD-
ham is the Pullman of Wisconsin. the
Evening Wisconsin prints the following
excellent editorial:
There is not a man in Wisconsin who
has less nonsense about him or who is
more approachable than Mai Upham.
The Democrats may give him as many
aristocratic titles as they please, but he
will continue to be- as he is now and as
he always has been. one of the people-a
republican-an American-with a CHEEKY
word for every man, rich or poor, and
heart full of generosity and the milk
of human kindness.

gree OF ignorance that is shameful in a
citizen of Wisconsin. George M. Pull

to build. The Upham Manufacturing
company, by establishing prosperity in
the town, enhanced the value of real es-
tate, and thus contributed to the improve
ment Of the fortunes of it's employees
as well as by paying them wages for
their work. The statement is paraded in
the Democratic press that Marshfield has
company store. 1t is a fact, but not a
damaging fact. The store is an enter
prise conducted independently Of the COM
pany's main business. No employee needs
to buy at it unless he likes. There are
other stores in Marshfield where anyone
IS free to trade if he pleases There are,
it is said, more property owners in Marsh
held than in any other town Of its size
in Wisconsin. 1t is a rule for the EN-
ployes of the company to own their own
homes. Some of them have worked for
The company for sixteen years. There
has never been strike against the Up
ham Manufacturing company, and no
man has ever brought suit against Maj.
Upham to recover wages.
That is the record of Marshfeld and of
Maj. Upham its founder 1t is a rec
ord to be proud of"

A Black Week in the History of the
Democratic Party.


A Black Week in the History of the
Democratic Party.
John Russell Young, the distinguished
Washington correspondent in writing
from the capital to the Philadelphia Star,
says that the week III which the PreSl-
dents letter was read in the House, and
the debate that followed in the Senate,
will be known in American history as the
'hlack week" His ten points against the
Democracy are as follows:
Never. not even when President john
son fought Congress, have we had such
flow of scandal as this now oozing from
Washington. Let US sum it up:
Il. The President writes to Mr.. Wilson
a letter saying in plain words that tariff
REFORM as he called the miserable bust
ness, has been sacrificed by the 'perfdy'
of Democratic senators.
III. He appeals to Mr.. Wilson to save
his honor as Democrat in this-that
having pledged the country in favor of
tariff reform, these pledges should be re-
deemed.
iii. The country is not considered in
these entreaties-Simply the pledges of
a Democratic leader to his partisans.
Nv. Senator German, speaking from
his own knowledge, and Summoning other
senators as willing witnesses, AYERS that
the tariff bill denounced by Mr.. Cleveland
as 'perfdy' had been submitted to the
President and approved.
v. w ME the 1reSlQent. IN Difference
to 4 recently-develOped New York public
opinion deprecates' the income tax it is
shown that he had suggested such Il tax
in public message.
wi. The Presidents demand for free
coal is declared by his political friends to
be in the interest of a Nova Scotia coal
syndicate owned by personal friends.
The direct result of free coal will be the
destruction of one of the most important
industries of Pennsylvania, to enrich the
syndicate.
wi. 1t appears that before Mr..
Cleveland was nominated he was stood
up by two Louisiana senat tors, the late
Randall Gibson and the present Justice
White, and compelled to promise pro
lection to sugar
viii. The outcome is that every poor
man in the United States must pay from
, to ) cents Il pound extra for sugar to en-
able q few planters in the tropical sections
of Louisiana to compete with the West
India islands and Brazil
In. The Sugar trust, a concern large
~ owned by aliens, gave money in the re-
cent elections in return for Il concession
worth to them S30,OOO,000 a year.
tx. The Whisky trust, another mer-
cenary and Infamous combination has ar
ranged i'll the same manner for monopoly
worth several millions.
This may be called the Black Week
The sky of darkness is unredeemed by a
single star

Oregon Misfits.

There is more point in the following few
lines than can be found in an average
speech containing many columns. 1t
comes from another state but it will
apply in Oregon just as well, or better,
viz: Eve let our timber rot and buy
fencing. We throw away our ashes and
grease, and buy soap. We raise DOGS
and buy hogs. We let our manure 90 to
waste We grow weeds, and buy yeoe-
tables and brooms. We catch 5-cent fish
with a 81 rod. We build schoohouses
and send our children off to be educated
And, lastly, we send our boys out with
a $40 gun and so dog to hunt for To-
cent BIRDS
That is precisely what is being done all
over Oregon. Oregonian.

This description was sent

about three o'clock in the afternoon the
suspected party wandered into the Is.

railroad man asked him where he
wanted to go, and he said Benwood, and

Than iners Strike.

The statement in the SUNDAY REGIS
TER, by special telegram from Columbus,
that the Ohio miners have agreed TO
work upon the 81 cent basis, was re-
ceived with displeaSJre by local miners.
Many Of them do not credit the news.
Last night President Jere Mead of the
Pan Haudle district, telegraphed to
Thomas McGough of Bridgeport, who
is one OF the State officers, for con-
irmatlon or denial OF the Report He
will not receive an answer until to-day.
The action of the Ohio miners will in
inence the West Virginia miners, aud
an acceptance of the cut across the
river will probably be fowlloed by SINH
lar action by the miners Of this State.
A prominent miner IN conversation
With a REGISTER reporter yesterday,
stated that il will be impossible for
miners to make living wages under the
81 cent scale. He mentioned one miner
employed at the Elm Grove mine, who
worked twenty-six days 10 January and
earned exactly S23.95. There is vast
difference in the work in different
mines. AT the Elm Grove mines, the
workmen say they cannot average 70
cents day under the new scale, after
paying for their oil aud other supplies.

A Man Seriously Beaten.

Jacob Kesler, a respected miner Of
the Bogg'S Run Mining Company, aged
about fifty years was assaulted Satur-
day night by two men who knocked
him down, beat and kicked him, result
ing in serious, ard probably dangerous
injuries.
Mr.. Kesler lives on Jacob street ex-
tension, in upper Benwood. About 1880
o'clock on the night named, he accom-
panied his sister-lnlaw, who had been
spending the evening at mis- home, TO
her home back of the street car barns,
near the upper mine Of the Bogg's Run
Mining Company.
Returning home near 10 o'clock, just
below the street car barns, two men. he
says, sprang toward him. They were
large men, and both began to batter the
miner. He fell on pile OF ties, and
evidently just as the highwaymen were
about TO roo him he screamed, soaring
the bandits away.
The assaulted workman lapsed into
Inconsistencies from the pounding he
had received, and regai5ed conscious
ness four hours later. He was then en-
abled to get TO his home unassisted.
Dr. Henry 7. Ford was sent for, and
be soon arrived. He found that two Of
the mans ribs were broken, and his
body badly battered. he also found
him coughing and splitting blood, as ev-
licences of internal injury. DR.. Ford
said last hight to REGISTER reporter
that he thought the man would
recover, though he would be laid up for
weeks.
There is no clue to his assailants.

said on good authority that people will

is a sectio4 OF the city noted for its

have been keeping that portion OF the
city pretty clear OF providers, these
times of ROBBERY. Recently several Of
these dogs have died, as the result OF
their eating meat having grown glass,
given by malicious persons evidently
with the intention of better operating
in that vicinity. r. II. d. Willis, the
Monongah coal man, has his stables
there and his thoroughbred spaniel,
valued at 500, held forth in his stables
over one OF the most valuable lot Of
horses in the city of nights, previous to
last Saturday. This valuable watch
dog. got similar dose and died last
Saturday This will necessitate Mr..
Willis placing guard over his stables
as he believes the malicious act was
done by persons who intend to rob.

were burning nearly to the ceiling.
They were soon put out With little
damage. Mr.. Schnelle and family sleep

gained Roadway, situated as the dwell
ing is. probablvo nothing would have
