Discharge of Employees
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8.-The action Of
Grand Master Stephen 3. Wilkinson,
of Galesburg, and others, to restrain
the Reading receivers from diseharg-
ing eleven employees because of their
connection with the brotherhood. came
up before Judge Dallas in the United
States circuit court today.
The answer of the receivers states
that Ruppel had declared In writing,
when he was employed, that he was not
member of any labor organization
and that he would refuse to support or
belong to any such organization. The
receivers disclaimed all knowledge of
Wilkinson.
Attorney Rawle asked the court to
to issue preliminary restraining or.
der 10 prevent the receivers from dis
charging the men, until the case shall
have been decided. This the Judge de.
clined to do, and fixed Friday next for
hearing argument. Argument was
heard upon the petition of Grand Mas
ter Wilkinson alone to prevent the dis.
charge of the men, but judge Dallas
ruled that he had no standing in the
court.
1t is alleged that there are one hun.
dred and thirty trainmen on the Read
ing road who are members of the
brotherhood, and who are therefore
amsnable to discharge.

eminent qualifications for the performance
Of his duty to both people and party.
AS to Governor Hill whatever may be
an individual Democrats opinion Of him,
the fact is that through no effort Of his
own he is the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party in contest which our oppo-
nents have insisted upon making test
Of party strength and loyalty. Individuals
count for little In such O struggle
and personal feelings should count
for less. A political party ad-
vances or recedes as it carries or
loses election. The result in this state
next month is the most important between
1892 and 1896 and any believer in Demo-
cratic principles who shall vote against
the Democratic ticket will succeed only in
dealing blow in his own convictions.

1PHE author of the Wilson bill and
the champion Of tariff reform is
to appear in Morgantown this
u week and inaugurate his cam
pa!gn. The people Of his district are
not 80 enthusiastic to welcome him as
on former occasions. as his views have
changed radically in regard to coal,
iron, wool and other materials Of his
district. MIR. Dayton, his opponent, is
securing the hills and dalss and is
meeting the people on the public high
ways He is making great canvass.
IL is probable that Speaker Crisp
will make an address in the district
before the campaign closes. Demo.
Gratis also expect President Cleveland
to make a few speeches He has
promised to attend two meetings in
the district.
The Republicans Of the district will
bold meeting here Tuesday, at which
Hon. A. G. Dayton, Hon. Stephen B.
Elkins, John H. Holt and George c.
Sturgess will deliver addresses. The
Republicans expect to make it the
largest meeting OF the campaign. Mr..
Dayton used TO attend the West Vir-
ginia State university here, while Mr.
Wilson was its president but he
never imbibed any of the theorists

make a good congressman, and will
give Mr.. Wilson close race. The Re-
publicans are bent on beating Mr..
Wilson this time, and are waging the
most vigorous campaign ever held in
this district.

crowd into it. Referring to the criti-

Wilson said it was garbled. He did
not, however, feel afraid to tell the
people of West Virginia one thing, and
that was that we were engaged in tear
ing down the tariff wall, and soon we
would compete with Great Britain for
the sea carrying trade Of the world.
He did not hold that the present tar.
lit law measured to the full extent of
the necessities. but manglgd as 1t was,
1t was much better than the old tariff
law. Prosperity was returning, not
with a rush, but substantial. true pros
