A RIOT At HUNTINGTON.


The Presidents Of the Opposing Politi-
cal Clubs Meet ON the Street, Engage
in Discussion and Draw . Crowd
The Leaders Come to Blows then their
Followers Clash all Sorts Of Impromp-
tn Weapons from Umbrellas to Cobble
Stones do Duty as Head Bruisers-
Women Frightened till they Ran Into
Saloons for Protection An Unprece-
dented Performance.
HUNTINGDON, w. Va, April 3.-As
a result of the late city election, the
bitterest of feelings has since exist
ed between the two political parties
here.
At noon to-day, George Ingram, a
prominent member of the Barnum
club, and DIR. l. r. Lesage, president
of Calumet Republican club, met in
front of the First National Bank and
engaged in dispute. A crowd at
once began to assemble and the men
came to blows.
Both were badly used up before
they were separated, and few min
utes later no less than two thous-
and people focked as near as posi-
BILE to the scene.
Loud threats were made by other
leaders on each side, and the efforts
of the police to quell the confusion
were fruitless.
The clash between the two fac
tions came and the scene which fol-
lowed stands without rival here.
Prominent men engaged in the
combat and clubs, brick bats, knives,
canes and various weapons were in
evidence.
Women who CHANGED to be in that
vicinity, fed in terror, and at one
point several ladies ran into saloon
for safety.
By the assistance of the county
authorities and many officials, quiet
was restored, but the town has since
been in general confusion.
Should another outbreak occur
the result will be serious, as both
sides are well armed and each seems
anxious for more trouble.

There are degrees and kinds of pow
erty, just as there are differences Of
opinion among those who compute and
measure poverty and riches by differ
ent standards. Some men deem them
selves poor because they are less rich
than Others, again there are compare
tive poor people who are satisfied with
a competence. There is a kind Of pow
erty for which no amount of wealth
can compensate namely, poverty Of
bodily stamina, eyinced by nervous
ness and arrangement of the func-
tions of digestion, bilious secretion
and the bowels. TO restore yigor upon
a permanent basis there is one reme-
dy that fully covers the requirements,
ellis the bill, +" and this is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. BY restoring diges-
tion, giving heathful impulse to the
action Of the bowels and liver and
tranquilizing the nerves, it fulfills the
condition necessary to resumption Of
strength by the system. 1t also over
comes malaria and rheumatism.

Reeds Plum

Staurt F. Reed, of Clarksburg, has
received very juicy plum as re-
suit of his labors for his party. He
has been notified that he has been
chosen as postmaster, of Clarksburg
and will be appointed in due time.
All of his friends will be glad to
know of his success and we congrat-
ulate him upon it. The poor news
paper man is not often rewarded and
the exception shines all the more
brightly on the dark background OF
ingratitude. Reed will make good
postmaster and Clarksburg is also
fortunate.

A Needless Blundcr.

forced through the House their
worse than Mckinley tariff, with the
extraordinary provision attached
that the duties shall take effect on
April Is, though it is not pretended
that the bill can become law be-
fore June Is. With all its imper-
fections on its head it now goes to
the Senate. In that body, judging
by past experience, it is likely to be
made worse rather than better by
amendment.
The compound duties in many
notwithstanding specific to ad
valorcm rates-render it is difficult
to compare this bill with the Nc
Kinley tariff. But it is certain that
the average and the aggregate of
taxation will be higher under it than
under the worse than-war tariff that
was twice condemned by the people.
The average duty according to value
will be over so per cent. In some
schedules the rate runs from so to
80. On many articles of general
use it exceeds 100 per cent-in 9th
err words, is either prohibitive or
meant to be.
To say that such tariff is need
ed for revenue is false. a slight in
crease in the duty on raw sugar and
a small duty on tea and coffee, or
better yet, stamp tax on notes and
checks and an additional tax of fif-
ty cents barrel on beer, would yield
all the additional revenue that il
needed
To say such a tariff is needed fol
the protection of labor is absurd. In
the first place, it burdens labor by
collecting almost the entire cost OF
the Government from the common
necessa ries of life. In the next
place, the entire average labor cost
in manufactured articles is not %
per cent, while the average duty will
be over 30.
The retroactive provision is not
only monstrously unjust and utterly
confusing to business but clearly
unconstitutional.
If by the aid of deals and bar
gains the Republican managers shall
succeed in passing this bill through
the Senate, they will have commit
ted the worst blunder that was open
to them. The country would not
have complained of reasonable re-
vision of the tariff with view to
procuring more revenue, 1t had
reason to expect that. 1t did
not have reason to expect new and
worse tariff Of denominations, giving
added protection to trusts and great
er bounties to campaign contribu-
tors. If the injustice embodied in
the Dingley bill had been clearly
presented to the country not even
the issue of honest money could
have saved the election to Mckinley.
