It is probable that tho call for a State * convention of Republican cluba will name fa Wheeling aa the place and a date between c February 10th and Febrnary 20th aa the ? time. In this event Republicans through' v out tha .Stats will do well to have thai? clubs organized anil ready to send dolo- ? gates.

B but it would not do well in West Virginia, r ===== I Tub people of Wheeling are not yet rea ly to insist upon tho enforcement of tho law against nulling liquor on Sunday, i If they were ready they would move, and then the law would be enforced. Enforcement would not come at once, but it would s come, for the people, being in earnest, t would keep up the movement until they 2 placed the law in tho handa of, those who o would enforce it. The current talk does T ?i (J.Uinn H,o Unndoirjiollora Thnv fl UU\ IHHUIOU wv.?w.v J will hear the hnrricane roar when it comeo 3 close enough lo ba dangerous, and about F that time they will close their doora on c Sandey. ______________ Wo have jam read with great interest & {' book which is making a stir in Parkers* j burg, where, beyond question, the princi- y pal scene is laid and eome of whoso peo- I pie are very thinly diaguissd. The name ? of tha book is, "Captain McDonald's J, Daughter," and the nemo of the writer is ( given 03 Archibald Campbell. In Parkers- B burg it is said that tho author is Miss Mc- j Cloud, formerly a resident of that city and now a nun in Mt. de Chantal convent. fl Aside from tho personalities, about 1 which wo do cot know so much as tho J Parkersburg people, the book has high E merit as a literary production. It ia al- y waja bright. Soino of its passages aro ? beautiful, notably tho descriptive parte. J Without regard to the correctness of the y portraiture, if indeed portraits have been d attempted, the writer has drawn strongly ( some familar types of society on the 1 borderland of the war of the rebellion. c AltORGtner "usptatn jucuonaia juauguter" ii as irosh and sparkling a book as lias appeared for many a day. Tu* disaureement botween the glass j manufacturers and the workmen throws out o( employment over a thousand persons in the city of Wheeling alone. The j ditlerenco cf opinion la radical. Each j side is firm. Thoro is no prospect of an E early settlement. The present situation ] may last six monthr, a year; nobody can I loll when it will end. | The gists trouble cannot fail to recall ( the nail trouble. Nobody supposed that t the nail s'rike would last for fifteen < months. When that strike ended the j naiiers wore decisiVely defeated. But this , ?1 T? AUoan mnnthi ^ "BO UU< nit. 141 luuou UIIVBU Wheeling bad lost hor grip on the nail ' market, and it is doubtfal if the lost hold J can ijvc bo regained. If all that has come } to pa?o hjd been seen from the beginning, 1 the history of the affair would not. be j fifte.n months long. t U Wheeling about to repeat in the j glass trado ita a-id experience in the nail trade? We pat this curiously to the nunnfactnrera and to the wage-earners in ( that industry. Those o! us who are on . the outside may be unable to docide on f the merits of the controversy; we are not { unable to oae that like causes may work ' like results. j While the glass houses in the manufacturers' association lie idle, because employer* ana employees cannot agreo, there is a very gonerti agreement between other 1 manufacturers and their employees to go i head aud make all they can. Besides t amfvltt...

What are onr horns friends going to do ?bont it? A REPUBLICAN BOLT tGJJNSr THE CAUCUS NOMINEES For Officer! of the Ohio State Senate?Th( Bolters Unit* with the Democrat* Md Wreck the "Slate"?An Attempt to Oaat the Pretldeot Pro Tern, Columbus, 0., Jan. 3.?a portion of tb( Repabllcan members ol the Ohio 8enaU ?ho were sot recogniied in the cancoi which was held Hatardaj evening joined flth tbe Democrats In the Senato yester imj buu nroku ,iuo ubuuub oinio, utcuuufi in almost entire new Bet of officers froxr hoee who were selected by the Bepnbli :an caucus. Among tho number is Judge Carte, a prominent Democrat, who wim Secretary of the Daznocratic State Comnittee two ycam ago. He was elected ronrual Ulerk. There is a great deal ol litter feeling ovor the result '.j*night and hreata are being made against the Hepublean bolters. The Democrats made no nomination. Cliia was a surprise which took the slate icople off their feet. Theodore Davis wae ilected President of the Secato; fciayeo, if Lawrence, the cancas nominee for Ohiei Jlerk, was defeated by Judge J. E.Lowry, if Kenton. Qaito a sensation was croated in the lenato this morning by an attempt to oust 'resident pro Urn Da via, the#uon-caucafl lominee. After the opening cxercisee had taken ilace, Senator Rannolla immediately took be floor and aaid ho desired to call the lieation oi lUB oony 10 uio hc; ioai 'hoodoro Davia bad been illegally elected d tho office of President pro lem, giving a a reason that Mr. Davis had voted for imself. BOMJCTIIINO 07 A BT1R. The announcement cauaed considerable f a stir among many of tho Senators, bat be eight bolters did not appear roach diearbed. Senator Cowgill was callod to the hair. A long discussion ensuod, but the hair held that Mr. Davis's election was egal. An exception to tho ruling wad taken, iut Mr. Ouwgiil was sustained in his deision by a vote of eight caucus Republics and the eleven Democrats. Thus ho schemers wore baateu agaiu, after rbich the regular business was began. In regard to the bolting Senators the Itale Journal this morning says: 'The scion of eight Rypnblicau members of tho )hio Senate in joining with the Demoratio minority to override the docreo of he Republican caucus, held last Saturday vening, is neither to bo commended nor pproved. It is not good political policy or the Republicans to mcrgo their intersts with Democrats on any occasion, oslecially when tho wrong to bo righted by uch a cause is but trivial at best. There ,ro twenty-live Republicans in tho present )hio Senate?a sufficient number, it would eern, to bo able to parcel out tho cffices rithin the gift of that body without reorting to such questionable political acion as that which marked the organize ion of the 8enato yesterday. A caucus vhoee decroo is not binding is no caucus it all, end the sooner that sort of an aranxemeut is dono away with the better or all concerned."

The Brewer Workers' il Union in Now York issued a circnlar an* a nonncing a boycott on Milwaukee beer ? The members of that order in Milwaukee obeyed the edict to a man. But they 0 wore not satisfied. They wanted the boy0 cott carried out in Chicago, and the other ,{ day went hoforo the Central Labor Union, 8 which ia the Anarchiet organization, and q asked it to declare the boycott in Chicago. The Oeutral Labor Union took no action n upon the proposition, deferring ita con1 eideration at some future time. Now, we a are waiting to seo what the Anarchists . will do about it. If they etop drinking ft" Milwaukee beer ami refuse to patronize I. ealonn-beepers who buy it why, of course, ;1 somo of the saloonista will be compelled '} to bny beer of some one else until the 0 boycott is lifted. Iu that c&ye I feel eafe B ia sayiDg that the Chicago brewers would [. help all the aaloon-keepers get plenty of e beer.
