good men and competent skilled me-
chanics are not lying around idle
ready TO take up job wherever there
is labor trouble, and while the en-
ployers undoubtedly had reasons for
their position, there is no doubt that
both sides have profited by their ex-
perience and that each has come to
realize the necessity of having the
good will of the other
The printers started their little
Daily Bulletin by which they made a
living and convinced the public that
they were worthy of support and in
their manner of conducting their bus
mess have proven themselves super
ior in ability, and professional skill
to the best that could be secured
among the non-union working men,
and while they waged fierce fight
for their side of the controversy they
carefully abs%ined from violence or
disorderly conduct, and thus held
the respect of the community.
While the fight is settled and an
amicable adjustment of the differ
ences has been effected, it has all
come about without disgrace Or dis
honor to either side, and it is pleas
ure to know that employer or en-
ployee are both pleased with the
settlement and the same is equally
true with the personal and business
friends of both the publishers and
the printers.

THANKSGIVING GIFT
Perrysburg Pupils Remember Frisco
School Children.

Hon. Edmund A. Jones, State Com
missioner of schools, some time ago
issued circular letter to all the SUI
-perintendents of the state, in a few
words referring to the unfortunate
condition of San Fracisco schools and
then stating that he thought 1t wise
to give the school children of Ohio q
chance to remember these children In
San Francisco by a free-will Offering
at Thanksgiving time, the money to
be used in the construction of some
school building. Mr. Jones hoped
enough money would be raised to
build good substantial building for
school purposes and to be called the
Ohio Building In accordance with
this call the pupils of the Perrysbure
public schools were given an oppor
tunity to give to this fund. The
High school made an Offering of $210
The grades with their pennies, made
up sum of $1.75, making total fol
the schools of 1885. This amount
was forwarded to the commissioner
and Supt Stinebaugh holds the re
ceipt for that amount. No doubt bu
this kind of Thanksgiving spirit IL
worthy of cultivation.

WATER WORKS
Perrysburg is Now Supplied by
Municipal Plant.

Perrysburg people can now enjoy all
the benefits OF a first-class waterworks
plant.
The plant has been tested and found
to be in a first-class condition, and
will be finally accepted in few days.
In all probability by the New Year,
the entire system will be in first-class
working order, and giving service un-
der direction of the village Board of
Waterworks Trustees, who deserve
much credit and commendation for
the work they have accomplished.

SENTENCE SUSPENDED

Suspension of execution of sentence
was granted by the circuit court at
Port Clinton on Monday in the case
of E. L. Spafford until the case can
be heard on its merits by the circuit
court. It is necessary, it aprears,
that this be heard in this county and
as the circuit court does not meet
here until in April, Mr.. Spafford will
not have to serve the sentence recent
ly imposed upon him by Judge
Schroth until that time and probably
not then, as the circuit court may
grant new trial if it does not do so
it will probably grant stay of ex-
ecution until Mr.. Spafford can ask
the supreme court to grant HIN new
trial.
In the meantime he will continue to
occupy bis Office OF county engineer

guilty by the jury in the case, does
not provide for custer from office

Bitter JerroId.

Among the sayings attributed to Doug
las Jerrold is very bitter one he ap-
piled to Mark Lemon, then editor of
Punch. Lemon was deeply attached to
Dickens and showed it in a very open
fashion, which perhaps aroused the
great satirlsts jealousy. At all events,
as Jerrold was walking out one day
with Lemon and another friend, and
Dickens with several more behind
them, Lemon suddenly dropped away
and turned back. What has become

The reported action OF the confer

rate for theatrica companies to n
fat rate Of cents per mile for par

to allow it the same privilege.

made of this rate. and II the ruling
that the party rate must be open to
the public as well as the theatrical

any number of people travelling from
one city to another may club to-

Washington, March 17.-NOmentar-
ily in the day there was a lapse in the
vigilance of those who would prevent
legislation taking away the rank of
lieutenant general in the army, and
the chances of Generals Corbin and
Macarthur for promotion. Mr.. Prince
of Illinois, whose bill abOlishing the
grade is the regular order OF business,
slipped into the Legislative breach.
There was an immediate call 10 arms
and for three hours the friends Of the
generals filibustered against the bin.
The net result was that the previous
question was ordered on it and an
amendment offered by Mr.. Grosvenor.

motion of the two officers, is pending
On this amendment the house was

Washington. March 20.-The house
yesterday reached compromise on
the bill for aboishing the grade OF
lieutenant general in the army, by
providing that it shall not become eff
fective until Oct. II next. in order
that Generals Corbn and Macarthur
may be promoted before their retire
ment.
An important bill, declared to be
the first step toward reorganization
of the consular service, was passed.
During the completion of the gen
eral debate on the legislative bill Mr.
Grosvenor Of Ohio came TO the. de
fense of the army in the Mount Dajo'
battle and was replied to briefly by
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader,
who asserted that all criticism was
based on the official reports so far re.
ceived.
The retirement OF aged clerks re
ceived attention of the house for more
than an hour, during which the de-
bate was general.
There were three speeches on the

Proceedings.
Wednesday,.

Washington, March 15.-The rail
road rate bill reached the controver-
sial stage in the senate yesterday.
The question came up in the regular
order of business shortly before .
o'clock and held the floor until the
doors were closed for brief executive
session. a few minutes after o'clock.
Mr.. Rayner was the chief speaker
and the debate that took place was
provoked by some of his utterances.
Among the senators who were aroused
by him were Messrs. Foraker, Lodge
and Dolliver.
The argument of Mr.. Rayner was dl-
rected in favor of the general prOposl-
ton that congress has the right to fX
rates, but that the bill should be so
amended as to dispense with the sns-
pension provision. He also advo-
