<1ET TOtiKTIlKIt.
The telegrapher's strike appears
no nearer adjustment than in the be
ginning. The companies refuse to
arbitrate, and the opoerators appear
equally determined. We believe tIn
quest ion is one that either side
should be willing t<» submit to a
proper board of arbitration. Tin
laborer is entitled to a fair wag.
and the companies shoiti t p-t .•
fair return upon their holding'
The result of the strike to ?h<
country is serious. Kvery business
suffers seriously from any strik<- o'
national importance.
Tliere is talk of tite Kallvny Te
legraphers joining in a sympathetic
strike. Tills would he disastt •«»us.
Trains would be tied up and every
part of the country isolated from
the w--r!d. In uch an event the
country wo •! ' experience a panic
tite like of which would he difficult
to conceive. Malls would be stopp
ed, and it.tsitn s of every character
demoralized. The . .ipltallst and the
small wage carrier would he affected
alike.
Tite contest . r-tween capital and
labor is crowing more serious each
year, and it i- '.-’level by many
that a compulsory hoard of arbitra
tion, with full powers tc a !j” t tip
matters, will he the nit nut tv nit
and when any different . . t„.
tween capital and labor, investigate
the whole matter the duties of the
laborer, the hours given to the
employer, anti tite cost of running
the employer's business, tite profits
earned and upon these facts, find
a proper adjustment between the
parties.
f’oJud not the sanitary condition
of our city be improved? I.ast spring
we had what might be termed a
“spring cleaning.” every one being
required to keep his premises in
proper condition, and the streets
were kept clear of filth. Would it
n >t be well to keep up the standard
we begun with last spring.
A city is apt to neglect her san
itary condition so long as it's
health is good. We never feel the
importance of these precautions un
til the matter is forced upon us by
health conditions.
Cleanliness Is said to he next to
godliness, and we are all anxloti*
to be good.
And now it is suggested that Daw
son and Swisher are not one and the
same. The indomitable secretary has
evidently conceived tit.- idea that a
single machine Is insufficient for
West Virginia Republicanism. Or is
i' in the efTort to appear an anti
Dawson he to meet tite wishes of
those Republican state papers wlio
are willing fo favor any matt to
whom Dawson is opitoxed? If decid
ed trouble should arise between
Dawson and Swisher perhaps ex
f#overnor White and various other
pro.'peetive candidates would find i
I mj»erai i ve tc» announce them
selves.
And the Dally Telegraph yesterday
editorially talked of handing Swish
er a “variety of arid fruit

In yesterday’s issue we said the
current was rut off twice This was
a mistake for which we apologize
It was cut off three times.
