AN EXPLANATION.

To few hundred of our patrons who
did not receive complete copy of the
Sunday Register yesterday morning,
some explanation is due. Just after
four O'Clock a. M, while the pressman
was removing the fourth page from the
elevator, the truck capsized and the
entire page was wrecked, and had to
be reset, a work which was not COM
pleted until 6: 40 a. M, and in the mean
time an incomplete edition went out
to two or three neighboring towns, it
being thought, when these papers were
despatched, that it would be nine
o'clock before the complete paper could
be gotten out. Fortunately, however,
it took much less time. The page de-
stroyed contained the report of the Ben
wood labor meeting, with the resolu-
tons adopted, as well as considerable
other industrial and miscellaneous
news.

QUEER GERMAN LAW.

When it comes to off-hand decisions
from which there is no appeal the Geg-
man law courts can give Judge Lynch
points and beat him out Here is a
case in point:
At recent session of the Imperial
Court in Berlin Herr Muller, one of
the editors of Volkstimme. was SEN
fenced to four years imprisonment for
lese majestic. Defendant asked for a
revision of the case. upon the ground
that he had nothing whatever to do
with the issue of the paper in which
the article complained of appeared, and
was supported by Herr Schmidt, a
member of the Reichstag, who declared
that he alone was responsible, waived
his parliamentary privileges. and asked

That German court, however, calmly
proceeded to decide that the previous
conviction was all right, as an offense
had been committed and man found
guilty for it, bowed Herr Schmidt out
OF court, and Herr Muller was marched
OF to jail.
1t would have made no difference,
probably, if Herr Schmidt had made a
full confession and plead guilty to all
the allegations in the charge. A man
had been sentenced, and the trifing
matter of whether or not he was guilty
cut no figure. Herr Muller deserves
sympathy, at least.

In ignorance of the situation in the
philippines. He has personally in
structed General Otis to notify CORE
spondents that none but Official
cablegrams are to be sent, which means
censored news, and that if this order
is violated or news sent from Hong
Kong, the offenders will have to leave.
This is well calculated to leave the
country very much in the dark.

The situation in Knox and Clay coun-
ties, KY, has become so hopelessly bad
that the Louisville Courier-Journal
strongly advocates that the Legislature
abolish those counties and attach the
territory to others possessed of better
capacity for peaceful government. But
what law-abiding county would wish
such an element tackled onto it? The
plan will hardly work out, for that rea-
son alone.

ARBIrRArE THE sTRIkE.

The events of the past nine weeks,
to say nothing of those of the past
three days, prove conclusively that
there is but one method of bringing the
otherwise interminable railway strike
to an end, and that way is through
arbitration.
Competent and impartial arbitrators
can settle the controversy upon basis
of fairness to both the contending
parties, and this desirable result can
be reached by no other method.
A resort to arbitration has been
repeatedly and earnestly advocated by
the Register, as the only way out of the
deadlock. We again urge it with all
possible force, and ask that the plan
be taken up without further delay, for
the time for definite action upon proper
and impartial lines and with a due re-
gard for all interests involved, has fully
come.
= 1t must surely be apparent to every
one that nothing is to be gained from
pursuing the policy, or rather the lack
of policy, heretofore obtaining. Irrec-
onsilables cannot possibly reach COM
mon ground for agreement; and yet
an agreement, speedy and fair, is de-
manded by every good consideration.
The people have stood aloof for more
than two months, hoping, from day
to day, that something might be &C
complished, and yet this morning we
are as far from a settlement as ever,
if, in fact, it be not further removed
than ever before. Loss and inconven-
sence is being inflicted upon wage
workers and business man alike, and
there should be an end to it.
That end can be accomplished
through arbitration. There should be
concerted insistence upon this, the
only solution of the trouble, and
when that point is reached the end will
be in sight
Arbitration is the thing. Let's
have it right away.
AS John Sherman said of specie pay
ments, the way to resume is to re-
sume' The way to settle the strike
is here pointed out.
Other labor difficulties of the great
est Importance, involving large inter-
ests and thousands of men, have been
successfully and satisfactorily adj
justed in this manner. 1t is fair, ra-
tional, equitable and speedy: it gives
full opportunity for the presentation OF
facts, claims and conditions, and en-
sures careful weighing of all the es-
sential points.
Why not apply this remedy at once?

The citizens of Benwood held a mass
meeting at the City Hall last evening
10 consider the advisability of continu-
ing their present course of supporting
the street car strikers. Several hun
dred people were present, and there
was much enthusiasm throughout the
evening. The call to order was made
at o'clock and Mr.. Joseph Manood
was appointed as chairman.
Mr.. Manhood addressed the assem-
Dlage and stated that the OBJECT of the
meeting was to consider the action
laken by the Wneenng Chamber of
commerce with reference to the Wheel
ing street railway strike, and shortly
afterwards a committee on resolutions
was chosen. While the committee was
acting, brief addresses were made in
regard TO the matter by Prosecuting
Attorney j. t. Parsons, or Moundsville:
Messrs. Charles Holderman, j. F. Rose
berry, Peter Mercer and others. At the
conclusion of the addresses the follow
ing resolutions were read and unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, The Chamber of Commerce
of the city of Wheeling, at called
meeting held at Odd Fellows Hall,
June 16, voted to patronize the cars of
the Wheeling Street Railway Company
without regard to whether justice is
done the striking employees of the road
or not; therefore. be it
Resolved, That we continue our
present course of supporting the strik-
ers irrespective of the action of the
Chamber of Commerce, deeming it un-
just and unwise.
Resolved, That we use our influence
with the business men and others of
Benwood to refrain from patronizing
merchants of Wheeling who instfgated
this move, or who patronize the railway
company according to programme.
Resolved, That standing commit
tee be appointed to watch the actions of
the merchants and others of Wheeling
with regards to their decision to break
the strike.
Resolved That we ask the cooper
alton of all sympathizers with the
Wheeling street railway strikers in
their struggle to maintain living wages.
"F. FORREST.
"WM. H. BURSEE,
-. w. JOHNS,
JOHN BLAKE.
PAUL RIEDEL."
A committee of three, composed of
Messrs. J. T. Roseberry, Charles Hol-
derman and Harry Leads were appoint
ed to publish the resolutions.
Just before the meeting was adj
journed Mr. Parsons made another adj
dress, urging upon the citizens of Ben
wood to refrain from any violence to-
wards the street railway company or
its passengers.
