And the Other Good Things Of This
Life We're Thousands at
Wheeling Park.
SATURDAYS GREAT BARBECUE.
Was an Unqualified Success, and at.
tracted 10000 People to
the Park.

The great Republican barbecue un-
der the auspices OF the Republicans Of
Triadelphin district, held Saturday af-
ternoon and evening at Wheeling Park,
was an unqualified success from all
viewpoints, and has done much for the
cause Of Republtcanlsm in Ohio county.
The feast of Republican reason and c;-
oquence was OF such excellence that
even Charley SeIbert's feast Of lifc's
good things. symbolic Of this full din
ner pail' era Of RepublIcanism sank IN
to Inslgnincance.
In the afternoon, an audience Of
about 1900 people comfortably filled
the Casino and heard addresses on tho
issues of the campaign by Hon.. Simon
Wolf, of Washington. D. c., and Hon.
a. B. White. OF .Parkersburg, the Re-
publican candidate for governor. Mr..
Wolf is an impressive speaker, and his
exposition Of the Republican position
this year was one Of the best yet heard
in Wheeling. Mr.. Whites address was
mainly finely drawn word picture Of
the magnificent Development West vlr-
ginia is enjoying as the direct result of
Republican policies. His talk was a
vote-maker, and shows clearly that a
vote for tho Democratic candidates
this year is vote against progress, In
dustrIal we'll being, financial soundness
and nofional honor
Seven Thousand People.
IN the evening, the overture was q
magnificent demonstration by the
marching clubs Of Ohio county. The
line OF march was over the pike from
Edgington's Lane to the park, and the
suburbs were ablaze with Nominations
and decorations in honor OF the occa-
sion. -.!I
The night crowd at the park was of
much larger dimensions, fully 1000 peo;-
pie being present, and requiring an
overflow meeting outside the Casino.
The overflow was addressed from the
band stand by Hon. Perry A. Shanor,
Of Sistersville, whose shafts Of humor,
logic and sarcasm delighted his hear
ers. In the Casino addresses were de-
livered by General Stewart L. Wood
ford, Of New York, late minister TO
Spain, whose tribute to the Mckinley
administration was eloquent and
heartfelt. He was followed by Judge
John W. Jones. Of Chicago whosa
speech. appealing directly to wage
earners. was one of the best of the
campaign. Governor-to-he White next
spoke. and repeated his success of the
afternoon.
All in all. the barbecue was q winner
from start to finish.

cite coal miners, in Pennsylvania, the
speaker said It was Republican
stril;e-it was for higher wages and 1t
has won. In Democratic times, you
only struck against lower wages and
you always lost your strike. (cheers.).
b Every once In a while q truthful
statement gets Into the Wheeling Reg
ister," said Mr.. White, amid cheers,
but 1t Is never in the editorial col
umns," added the speaker, amid laugh
ter Proceeding, the speaker read a
clipping from the Register. telling Of
the great coal mining prosperity in the
Fairmont district, Extracts were read
from the state mine Inspectors report,
showing 5000 more men employed In
the mines, and their wages 5000 a year
greater. Give us four more, years OF
Mckinley prosperity and we'll pass
Pennsylvania In coke, II not in coal
production.
Speaking Of Wheeling, Mr.. White
quoted from Labor Commissioner Bar
tons report, showing forty-three new
establishments, 1876 workmen and cap
itai Of 100000. Nlnenty-three Wheel
Ing establishments In 1897 employed
1000 men; in 1900 they employed over
10000 men. Don't you think you had
better stand up for Wheeling when you
go to the polls on the sixth day Of No
vember? CHEERS and cries of "Yes!"
and go on")
Trusts.
Speaking of the Democratic claim
that trusts are created by the Republic
can protective tariff system, Mr..
White inquired how It was that Eng
land "a free trade country is worse
cursed with trusts than We are! Trusts
are combinations that seek to corner
commodities and raise prices. We are
oil against the trusts. Judge Holt
says he would place commodities that
are controlled by trusts on the free list.
Think OF Judge Holt putting oil on the
free list-where 1t always has been!
Think Of "Dlck" Croker trembling In
his boots when the Democratic party
put Ice on the free list-where 1t al
ways has been. Think OF putting cof-
fee on the free list; we grow SO much
coffee, don't we?
But the remedy for trusts. There are
two ways, state and national. There
might be forty-flve different state laws,
but there would be New Jersey still.
You must have O national antitrust
remedy and already we have the inter-
state commerce law and the Sherman
antitrust act. There must be further
national legislation. and to enact such
laws We must have another constI.u-
tional amendment. What did the Dem
ocrats do when they were In power?
They reported q disagreement as to
how to proceed against trusts. All
antitrust legislation has been enacted
by the Republican party. The speaker
read the amendment to the constitu-
tion proposed by the Republicans In
Congress. 1t received the almost unanl-
nous support Of Republican congress-
men, and the almost unanimous opposl-
ton of Democrats.
Speaking OF the Democratic canlI-
dates for Congress, the speaker said

impressive address on the Issues OF the

Speaking Of the prosperity. the speak

perIty: let us get all OF 1t that is to BE-

The NIGHT FEATURES.

nor-Eloquent Addresses by Cen
eral Woodford, Judge John W.
Jones and Hon. A. B. White,
Thousands of hungry men, women
and children were fed Mt supper time
by Charles Sclbert and his army of u.s.
sistants. The crowd began growing
larger after 6 o'clock and by the time
the parade arrived at the park the Ca
sine was inadequate to accommodate
all who desired to enter and hear the
speakers. 1t was necessary to have an
overflow meeting and from tho band
stand Hon. Perry A. shanor addressed
those who were unable to secure ad-
mission to the Casino. He made IN ex-
cellent address. touching on the issues
and ensily dsposing OF the Democratic
bogies OF Imperialism, militarism und
trusts. The applause was frequent and
prolonged and at times disturbed, the
speakers In the Casino.
The opening feature OF the evening
wns the demonstration OF clubs. 1t was
nearly half past eight before the COL
umn formed ut Pleasant Valley. and.
under Chief Marshal Jesse Bloch, began

Ing the fact that the column marched
through spnrsely settled district, the
line OF march was fringed on either
side by enthusiastic sight-secrs. The
column, arrived at the park Mt Q
o'clock and marched to the rear of the
Casino. where they made n charge on
the barbecue and helped themselves
without the assistance Of the walters.

Just Like the Tribune

The Omaha Bee calls attention to
the danger which will result from legis-
1ation facilitating the occupation of the
grazing lands now remaining in the
public domain by the great ranching
companies. It thinks that by turning
over large bodies of land to corporations,
the small farmers and stock owners will
be crowded out and the development Of
the country will be retarded So far as
the arid belt is concerned, that view is
mostly mere sentimentality, because
the lands are governed altogether by
the water, The man who holds the
springs holds the lands, and the stock
business has naturally, following gen
eral law, gravitated into large com
panies. About all the land that the small
farmer can find water to cultivate has
already been appropriated, and the
chief thing to guard against in leasing
the arid lands is not to make it impossi-
bic for man or company to secure land,
when, by large expense or combined
effort, water can be carried upon such
land and make it possible to cultivate
it. Salt Lake Tribune.
That's just like the Tribune. It,
seems to be eternally afraid that
corporations and heavy moneyed
interests won't get chance to COB
BILE up the earth.
On this leasing subject it displays
a wonderful lack of knowledge. It
says so for as the Esarid belt is con
cerned" the prospect of leasing the

SO much Of gospel truth, that we en-
dorsc it unequiyocally from begin

dissertation:
A few weeks ago an extensive mai
order house sent out large number OF
circular letters announcing their great
400 page catalogue and enclosing q
postal card requesting those desiring
one of them to return the card with
their address. The result was surpriB-
ing, as the express Office at the station
has been flooded with these catalogues
during the past week or two.
These great mail order houses are
now urging the passage of law provid'
ing for parcel post at q rate of six cents
for first pound and two cents for each
additional pound up to eleven pounds
Such law would place these great
houses in command Of almost the en-
tire trade of the country, as far as light
goods are concerned
They handle every thing even to
hardware and groceries, and the postal
rate would be less than the present
freight rate upon large portion of the
goods from New York to points in Ida
no. 1t would destroy the business OF
the country merchants driving ono
half of them out of business The towns
throughout the west would contain
vacant buildings the employment Of
many men would be gone, their dwell
lings left tenantless.
But says farmer I'VE would get orr
goods cheaper" Possibly so, but if the
business OF the merchant is gone and
the towns destroyed, the entire burden
d the state and county would fall nm.
On the farmers, as it is now the towns
