The Federal labor commission that in
vestigated the great railway strike of last
summer report much that is worthy of not
a little consideration. 1t could not be ex-

to offer any sure remedy. 1t is worthy of
note that the commission found that pre-
vious to the formation of the general man.
ayers association the employees had taken
no steps toward general union of rail-
way employees, and that it was through
fear of the former that they were led to do
so. The commission does not recommend
the adoption of the licensing system but
favors national strike commission under
regulations similar to those governing the
Massachusetts, board This latter recon-
mendation is not likely to have great
weight, in view of the general i'm

The discussion before the Episcopal con
grcss in Boston, which had for its topic
the Sunday newspapers was apparently
one of live interest throughout. and at
least is K KY to excite a limited demand
for bett Sunday papers. The need of
these IA err than need of prohibiting them
was a point of view taken by several,
though the majority inclined to the opin-
ion that the Sunday paper secularizes the
Sabbath and robs it of the opportunities
of rest which people need and should be
boycottcd by Christians We found no
mention made rs to the advertisers who
through the Sunday papers are allowed
to work seven days out of the week, nor
of the awkward bulk of paper covered with
advertisements which the reader is com

1t is said that President Cleveland Is
preparjng a sensational message to Con-
gress. If it doesn't fairly bristle with
things fully equal to "innocuous desue-
tude' and ''the communism of pelf,
then Dame Rumor is sadly at fault. There
are some who think that it will be the
PRONUNCIATION of the platform OF a
new party to be known as the
Groverites. There are certain to be
some startling features-if the supply
of inspiration holds out, and no one has
charged that it has ever been lacking to
the present administration.

who recently set out equipped with

Greenville, but relates thrilling story of
being robbed. Someone entered his room
at the hotel there and stole his money and
his outfit he says, and when these
were found in the possession of a foxey
| stranger in another room several volun-
teered to remain with the stranger while
the proprietor went in search of an officer.

that he guessed it was time for him to go,

that will yield this year 100 barrels graft

An Eccentric Miilionafrc.

The following peu-sketch, from the Hs.
gerstown Daily Nail. Of O. B. Rouss is mac
curaie in some particulars. but it is readable,
and not uulifelike:
At the Hamilton over Sunday was
Charles Broadway Rouss, the celebrated
and eccentric millionaire Of New York
He is an interesting figure. both in his his
tory and appearance.
Upon his feet he wore high heeled long
boots. and his neither extremities were en-
cased in skin-iight dark pantaloons with a
broad black military stripe. His coat was
of mysterious mixed gray and black. and on
his head was new slouch hat. His skin Is
ruddy and his mustache gray. He is mid
die size and not imposing.
Yet this man does in New York a cash
jobbing business of sS,O00,O 900, fabulous
sum when il is considered that only some
twenty years ago he was peddling collar
buttons aud shoe strings in the streets Of
Winchester bis native town. His building
in New York is on Broadway, is iive stories
of iron, and extend. back to another street.
1t is worth half million dollars. Every
night he calls mp every one Of his employees
and pays them of. so that every night Of his
life he can say that he owes nobody any
thing. His spelling is on tho Mankiau sys-
tem-one that is much used in primary de-
partmcnts of education, and both bis signs
and his circulars read that way and sound
all right. He is lavishly charitable, and
one of the most astute advertisers OF his
age.
He has just completed at Winchester, a
place that he has always delighted TO honor
with many gifts, SIS 900 monument to his
son. He had with him this time big bag
full of dimes, which he intends to scatter
among the children at Winchester, Va.
Take him all in all he is remarkable
character. He is related in this city by
marriage to the CIapps. and in the begin
ming the late @. c. Clapp was a partner.
The cash system and his plan Of rigorous
honesty has won him big name and much
wealth.
