Origin of the Association.


Mr.. j. A. Wineberger, the marshal, read
the following:
In giving a sketch Of the history of the
association, we jotted down a few instances
relating to the formation and object, and l
said so far as our researches have gone in
the many numerous and different organiza-
tions that have existed or do exist in any
place. in name or character, none similar to
this have ever been formed. All the other
organizations have been for different pur-
poses. This one Is unique. society without
its like In any part of the world The name
does not represent the object, and there
fore the inquiry by even our own citizens,
What do they do at their meetings?" We
have been burlesQued in conversation and in
the public print as society OF mutual
admiration. All we lack are the feminines
for admiration but We have not these as
members; although when Mary Walker
wanted to know the conditions for admit
lance, and / said fifty years of age, she an
swered, 'Iron-clad objection"
1t was on November 30. 1865 that a tempo
rary meeting was called, which was held at
the Old Franklin Engine House Hall, in the
triangle south side of Pennsylvania avenue
and 18th street. Col. J. s. Williams the
author Of history of Bladensburg, was
called to take the chair and J. F. Catlin was
made secretary The purpose Of this meeting
was explained and a resolution passed pro-
viding that we form ourselves into an asso-
citation to be called the "Oldest Inhabitants
of the District of Columbia" On motion of
Mr.. Clephane, a committee of three was APP
pointed to report constitution for the next
meeting. This committee consisted of Gle
phane, Savage and ]. F. Callan. From this
preliminary meeting this society sprang.

UNIONISMS

Arbitration with the union label to pack it will soon do away with strikes.
 When the working class enters poli- ties and captures the powers of gov ernment, then the nation will own the trusts, but never until then.
 The good word you say for your union may not show immediate results, but it will take root, blossom and bear fruit after while. Say the word: : keep on saying the word.
 Thirty-seven union papers have been started in the past twelve months. Al good illustration of the rapid growth of organization. There are at present PIT strictly union labor papers in the United States
 The employer of to-day depends upon two things for his profits-the wages he pays and the price he gets for the goods he hires made. His con- stant aim Is to decrease the one and increase the other.
 The trades union is a standing chal- lenge to the old cynicism, Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost.''

Heavy Demand For Goods--wheat
 and Corn Not Plenty.

and Corn Not Plenty.
 NEW YORK, Oct. AR. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Distribution of merchandise shows no diminution and prospects are bright for continued activity. Dealers in many lines are urgent for prompt ship ments, calling upon jobbers and manu- facturers for goods already overdue. This indication of reduced stocks is a good sign and tends to sustain quota tions. Western reports are especially favorable, and the early marketing of cotton has brought distinct improve ment at the south. Voluntary advances in wages have been announced in number of instances, while the labor situation is more satisfactory, although not entirely free from controversy.
 Pig iron furnaces are receiving larger consignments of coke and there is less interruption because of fuel scarcity. The situation is by no means satisfac- tory, however, and production of iron and steel would expand considerably if facilities were normal. Much of the relief has come from large imports, the extent of which is not generally appre- ciated. During August alone pig iron imports were 79,447 tons, and for eight months 257,21O tons, valued at $4,676,- 649, while receipts of steel billets were still more.
 Limited supplies of wheat grading up to contract in the vicinity of Chi cago made possible another sensational campaign against the short interest, eliminating in sales of September op- tions at 95 cents. On the whole, how ever, crop news has been of an encour- aging nature. Winter wheat planting has progressed rapidly under most fla Yorable circumstances.
 Corn is coming into sight very slow ly, western arrivals amounting to only 1,735,O72 bushels against 3,543, ,665 year ago, and while Atlantic coast shipments have risen to the highest point of the season at PAS, ,S36 bushels they make feeble showing when con- pared with the S43,374 bushels shipped last year or the 2,144,610 exported two years ago.

GEORGE F. HALL.

A matinee performance of 'sAn American Hustler.'' with George E. Hall in the title role, is being given at Polls this afternoon, and the play will be repeated this evening. The play has been described by one obseryant critic as "A laugh, a scream and yell," and it certainly has a number of witty lines and ludtcrous situations which furnish opportunity for the peculiar powers of comedy possessed by MT Hall. The latter is well known to the local public from his many previous appearances here, and his admirers may expect capital comedy enter tainment. Prices are 25, B and 50 cents. '-

Also that if would ruin MT Charters chances should he come up for office later; cause the people to lose confidence in the league and greatly lessen it's chances in Waterbury another year.

It is an actual fact that there are
veterans who think they held one rank IN
the war when the record shows they held
another! 1t is likewise true, we believe,
that In a certain county Of certain
State, the name Of a deserter appeared
on the face or side of monument erect

But all that asidel If we can make
any use Of the new registration to add
to our knowledge OF the old Confederates

veteran of Lees is asked by what right
he puts in a claim to voting privileges un-
der the new Constitution let him proudly
say that he Is an ola soldier; one who
answered Virginia's call in the 1s61-1s65
period. That's al! the answer needed.
No matter whether he can read or write
or not: no matter whether he pays year
ly State taxes to the amount Of 81 or
not. The fact that he risked his life for
Virginia when bullets flew thick and
fast is recognized by the new Constitu-
ton as sufficient to entitle him to be
listed among the permanent voters Of
the Commonwealth.
Then why should not the new registra-
ton lists become, to great extent, a ros-
ter Of Virginia's surviving veterans?
