DAILY THOUGHT.
PREFERRED THE PRISON.

There lie world of Significance in
the statement Of life convict in q
Connecticut prison, who when offered
a release on condition that he return
to Italy, his native land, exclaimed :
"l cannot go back to Italy and work
for Is cents . day. ! would rsther
stay in prison.
He knows, for he labored in Italy
for years. Then he came TO great
America, where . protective tariff en-
ables workmen to earn from dollar
to five dollars aud even more, a day,
instead of fifteen cents. This "pauper
labor" 10 not only true of Italy. but
of most other European countries. If
the products of this l5-oent.a-day
labor were brought to this country
free Of duty, as the Democrats want
it done, 1t would ruin the American
working man His own wages would
have to be cut In order TO enable this
employer to compete with cheap, i'm
ported goods, or else his employer
would be compelled to quit business en-
tirelv, in which event the laborer
would have no work Ut all. The vast
majority of people of this country
have always displayed great common
sense in sticking to the principles Of
the Republican party, and there ia
every reason to believe they will con-
tinue TO do so.
They want nothing to do with q
party that wants to bring our labor
into competition with l5-cents-a-day
pauper labor.

The civil case of the Fisher Oil
company against Steelsmith &
Yoke was tried in the Circuit
court this term, and the jury af-
ter being out less than half an
hour returned a verdict for Fish
er Brothers for $4,000 damages.
Some time since Steelsmith &
Yoke drilled in a large well in the
Elk Fork, and Fishers owned a
lease that went up close to the
well. They started to drill on
their lease when Steelsmith &
Yoke stopped them from drilling
the well by an injunction. After
a long time the injunction was
dissolved and Fishers sued for

Council Proceedings.

Council convened in regular
session last evening in their cham
Der in the City Building. Mayor
Lynn Kirkland presided, and all
councilmen were present with the
exception of S. w. Templeton, of
the Second ward. But little busi-
ness was disposed of, aside from
allowing a number of bills. The
garbage question was discussed
to some length, and finally the
matter was turned over to the
Health committee. The DISPOSE
ton of garbage is a question of
great Importance to all citizens,
and the committee in charge have
been instructed by the council to
dispose Of it in a way that will
give entire satisfaction to all res
idents. A derrick of the Carter
Oil company, located on a lot of
G. W. Stocking, on Virginia
street, was deemed unsafe, and Or
dered repaired at once. The
Mountain State Gas company
gave notice to council that after
May l all gas lights in the city
would be increased in rates from
81 per month to 81. No action
was taken in the matter, but it is
quite probable the lights will be
discontinued. Council adjourned
until next Monday night, at
which time license to the several
saloons will be granted.

Company A Inspected.

Company A was briefly inspect
ed last evening by a special Off
Ger from the United States army.
The officer did not arrive in. the
city until 10:40, and consequently
he did not have time to make a
thorough inspection. However,
he expressed himself as being well
pleased with the progress the
company is making. Notwith-
standing the lateness of the hour
the attendance was large last
night, which is ample evidence
the members are all taking great
interest in the new organization.
Col. Morrison, Of Parkersburg,
was present.
