Mr.. Harlow again met me, and after
saying something about my making o
mountain out Of o molehill, and re-
peatinC his former statement that my
Communication of October Ii was in
every word true, and that all the
League had had to do with securing
the extinction" OF the bogus insurance
companies was TO thank me for having
done it myself, and adding that he
thought that Mr.. w. F. Carne was the
writer, promised to lay the whole sub.

CARD TO THE PEOPLE.
To the Editor of the Register;

To the Editor of the Register:
Sir: In reply to the action taken by}
the so-called business mems meeting 1,
the Chamber OF Commerce on Friday
~leYening, June 10th, 1899, We condemn
the action or THAT committee and brand
the originators of 1t as enemies OF orr
ganized labor, and opposed to the well
fare of those who earn their bread byy
their honest sweat.
Their interest is of selfish na.ure,
which Is plainly shown by the position(
they have taken. The idea of 80 or 40
men debating to seventy thousand peo-
pie that they shall commence to ride
on Tuesday, June goth. They can ridee
If they so decide, but we can vouch for
the masses, whom those so-calledS
business men depend upon for their
support. They will not ride, but ard
satisfied with the wagon service now In
vogue, and will so continue until the
rights Of the men and the recognition
of their union are acknowledged by the
Wheeling Street Railway Co.
The scheme was conc0cted by the
friends of the directors OF the street
car company. The more conservative
element of business men condemn
the action taken, and publicly declareS
they would not be a party TO such an
act They claim that II was a pre-
concerted affair MIR. Brady has for,
gotten that when he was asking tn
workingman for his vote he did no
call them 'hoodlums" but told the
pleasant stories about what he won
do II they would favor him with cleo
ton. He told the street car men hov
he would have the cars yestibnled ed
Then, as now, he soon forgot the IN
terest of his constituents We can only
say that he has nor never had. the in.
terest OF the working people at hear
On Friday night he publicly definelN
his position. Why did that meeting
ignore the motion made by Col. J
O'Brien, and seconded by Mr.. Greene
OF the Locke Shoe Co? That motion
was 10 submit the matter TO arbitra-
ton. They ignored that and took IN
the motion made by Mr.. Brady. and
passed 1t. That motion was for s1eopiey
TO ride on the cars Tuesday. When1
Mr.. OBrien arose TO speak on the mo
ton be was hissed, but the wis
counsel given by Mr.. O7Brien Will be
gentle reminder in days to come. I'd
those who took such snap Judgment
for the interest OF heartiess corpor-

rights are recognized.

1t was comparatively dull week in
society. The time and attention OF
those who are interested in doings OF a
social nature were occupied with the
commandments, and outings OF var
ious organizations, which We're so
numerous as to exclude the convention
al forms of fashionable entertain-
ments. June weddings were not many,
although several very pretty nuptial
ceremonies were performed. The COM
mencement season is almost at an end,
but the approach of the Oriental street
fair is demanding attention, and as In
dependence Day follows very closely,
the next few weeks promise to furnish
very few really elaborate social func-
tions Meanwhile the mails are heav-
lily freighted with correspondence rela-
tive to plans for the heated term, but
the exodus will not commence in earn
est until after the glorious Fourth.

are the berries growing

Crimson are the berries growing
BY the brooklet's silver flow,
Where a maid with tresses blowing
Round her brow and neck of snow,
Lightly culls the luscious treasures
Strafning oft her finger tips,
Then a juicy ball she measures
With her Laughing ruby lips.
While beside her lightly kneeling,
Aiding with the pleasing, task,
Is a youth, his eyes revealing
All his eager heart would ask,
Till, her basket overturning,
In surprise their fingers meet,
Then she tells with tender yearnlnGs
Loves old story, pure and sweet.
While the lover softly speaking,
Wins the maiden for his bride,
Crimson berries seem but seeking
In the bending grass to, hide
Then the lovers homeward gong,
Gather up the fallen store;
Earth and JOY seem overfiowing
With a joy unknown before.
