The Encampmcnt.

Preparations are being made for the
Encampnlent next week. 1t is scarce
ly necessary for us to remind those
having the matter in charge that il
will pay to make an extra effort to
give our visitors a cordial welcome,
Nothing should be omitted that will
add to the pleasure and comfort Of the
men who are to spend the week with
us. They are gentlemen, everyone,
and come from all portions of the State.
A good impression will be as bread
cast upon the waters. In addition to
the soldiers there will be thousands
of visitors from all the surrounding
country and the money they leave
with our business men will depend
largely upon the treatment they re-
ceiye.

A Triangular Tussel.

Queen street. in the vicinity Of
P. Nicklas Bro. & Co. S store was the
scene of a lively little row Saturday
morning last. Messrs. John T. Pauld-
ing and w. S. Snyder had a difference
of opinion in relation to contest be-
tween their boys. From war of
words to blows was an easy transi-
ton Officer Harry Rutherford rushed
to the rescue of the pugilists and as
is usual in such cases got the worst of
the ARRAY, receiving blow intended
for Mr.. Paulding It was draw at
the end of the first round. Neither
party was fully satisfied until Mayor
Wilson imposed a fine of S.. 90 each.

One naturally expects to find all classes
and kinds of people in country with
such an immense population, and what
one admires the other despises. The
wide circle of human societies, diversified
BY an endless variety of character, dispo-

in no respect, the genius Of the world.
Every man is marked by some peculiari-

and nowhere can two individuals be
found, who are exactly. and in all re-
spects, alike. Where so much diversity
obtains, it cannot but happen that in the
intercourse which men are obliged to
maintain, their dispositions will often be
ill-adjusted to that intercourse, and win
jar and interfere with each other. As a
leader, Debs appears SO great extent to
be failure. There is little doubt, how
ever, that injustice was done by both
parties concerned, and that thorough in
vestigation of the causes of this strike
and suspension of business would give
universal satisfaction in placing the
blame where it properly belongs. and re-
suit in such legal actions, that in the fu-
ture strikes will be thing of the past.
The laborer needs protection as well as
the capitalist. The two should work in
harmony with each other to be success
