Spouse to the request of President
Hubbard, as published in the morning
papers Saturday, held conference
with him at the company's Office at
Benwood yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed the situation. The men expect
ed to receive an offer Of some conces-
sion, but were disappointed.
Instead President Hubbard under
took TO persuade them that they ought
to accept the reduction, alleging that
the prices of the new scale were not
less than is paid at other similarly
equipped plants. After talking with
the president the men adjourned to
the Benwood City Hall, where his ar
guments were considered. The deci-
sion, however, was adverse to accept
ing the new scale. AS on the preced-
ing Sunday, the sentiment was unani-
mously opposed TO taking the reduc-
ton, and thus the matter stands just
where it did previous to yesterday S
conference.
The plate mill men are still out and
their situation is as uncertain as ever.
Saturday as each of the strikers went
to the company,s office to get his pay
he was asked if he intended to go to
work Some replied that they did not
and the others responded that the mat
ter was in the hands of their commit
tee to deal with.

In the Senate the other day Senator
Lindsay, of Kentucky, replied to the
resolutions Of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture demanding his resignation. He
declared that his position as to silver
was we'll known at the time of his re-
election in 1894; that he was confident
his views were the views of major
ity of the people of Kentucky and were
the views of a majority Of the Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky at the time of his
election; that he was not mere agent
of the present Legislature, but repre-
sented all the people of Kentucky;
that while a Senator from kentucky,
he was also Senator for the United
States. and would be guided in his pub
lie acts by his Judgment and con-
science. He denied the right Of "pont-
zeal changelings" to question his
fealty to his constituents and utterly
and absolutely repudiated the right
OF the majority in the Legislature ito
impeach his Democracy or to put him
upon a defense of his record as a Dem
ocrat.'
In other words, Senator Lindsay
took refuge behind all the bald
technicalities his powerful legal
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-02-07

mind could conjure up. The Kentucky
Senator knows he is wrong, but de-
clines to admit it. His Senatorship
seems to be of more value in his eyes
than fair dealing with the people of his
State, whom he certainly is misrepre-
senting. 1t is a shrewd dodge this
hiding behind the Hanna-created tidal
wave that swept several Democratic
States off their feet. Senator
Lindsay is too shrewd and able man
not to know that the methods en-
ployed in that campaign conducted on
business principles" were unfair to
the people and to the opposition and
that it's outcome was not representa-
tive of the will of the people. And
Senator Lindsay knows that since then
things have changed in these Southern
States, such as West Virginia and
Kentucky, and in some Northern
States, too The best evidence of this,
and that which is of most interest to
Mr.. Lindsay, is the action OF the
Legislature of his own State of Ken
lucky in requesting his resignation on
the ground that he does not represent
the people of that State in his currency
views. Senator Lindsay may think he
knows the will of the people of Ken
lucky, but the Legislature is very
much closer to the people now than he
is and would not dare to misrepresent
the views of the majority in such
matter
AS a sovereign Senator of the United
States, however, Senator Lindsay is
technically responsible to no one, but
his conscience, and, like good many
ether able members of Congress, that
article doesn't seem to bother him
overmuch.

The Turks, after severe lighting,

A Treaty of Alliance

While there has been little move
ment looking to formal treaty OF
alliance between England and the
United States, there is no doubt
that the feeling of friendship be-
tween the two countries has been
greatly strengthened, and the pay
ment by us of the Boring Sea award
removes the last cause OF friction.
Perhaps the time is now propitious
for renewing the attempt to secure
the adoption of general treaty
of arbitration. That probably would
be sufficient union, because it
would mean to the rest Of the world
that the two countries consider
their interests identical. Whatever
comes, however, it is to be
hoped that the friendship be-
tween the two countries will grow
in strength and in grace, for, besides
the material interests that will be
advanced by such friendship on
both sides OF the ocean, and besides
the pleasure such union will afford
to all English-speaking peoples, the
peace of the world will be promoted
thereby And we think it we'll that
the Irish on both sides Of the water
should make up their minds not to
interfere between the two branches
OF the English race. We in the
United States are mostly in favor of
home-rule, and those Liberals in
England who have done most to
promote home-rule for the Irish are
also in favor OF the promotion of
friendship between Great Britain
and the United States. Such union
would not injuriously affect the
Irish, but opposition to such union
on the part Of Irishmen either here
or abroad would work disastrous
consequences to their Harper IS
Weekly.
