B. SPANGLER. —————————————— The Labor Situation. Present signs indicate the early collapse of the steel worker’s strike. The lower element is divided, the resources of the Amalgamated association are meagre and unless there is a radical change in favor of the strikers within a few days work will be resumed at all the mills, the striking workmen will be out of employment and organized labor in this country will be a thing of the past. diametrically opposite purposes in view can’t survive when there is such a discrep- anoy in their power of resistance. From the beginning of the present strike, the result was inevitable. It may be said that from the moment that J. PIERPONT MORGAN became concerned in the indus- trial life of the country labor organizations were doomed. The anthracite coal strike last fall would have heen made the instra- ment of destroying the labor organizations if the presidential election had not been impending. Mr. MORGAN yielded then reluctantly to save MCKINLEY from de- feat. The election of the trust candidate was even more essential to the fulfillment of his plans than the obliteration of labor organizations. Therefore he bided his time and having accomplished one part of his plan then he will achieve the other now. But the_country will not be benefited by this change in the industrial structure. That is to say the people will derive no benefit from the extinction of the only element that could resist the force of MOR- GAN’S combination of capital. He proba- bly thinks that there will be no strikes after the labor organization is wiped out. Bus in that heis mistaken. The Amalga- mated association has prevented more strikes than is has created. Its destruc- tion will simply make the men reckless because they will proceed without system or purpose. Stone and Flinn. After all there is a good deal of fun in politics, if proper effort is made to extract it. For example, there are whole volumes of wit and humor in a report published in one of our Philadelphia contemporaries of the incidents attending the conference be- tween the Governor and his friends and Senator FLINN and his friends at Atlantic City on Monday last. Attorney General ELKIN had been dispatched, on Saturday previously, to BEAVER to ascertain from QUAY the true inwardness of the dismissal of FLINN’S friends from office by Record- er BROWN, of Pittsburg. DURHAM had just arrived from Europe and FLINN and his friends were there from Pittsburg. FLINN was cross and STONE conciliatory. DURHAM was anxious and ELKIN diplo- matic. The situation was grave and every- body concerned serious. “The Attorney General,’’ writes the his- torian of the event, ‘‘reported that Senator QUAY was as indignant asthe Governor or | Senator FLINN could be over the tarn in affairs.”’” Now everybody knows that FLINN oan be very indignant or at least appear to be, and nobody doubts that he was indig- ' nant at the time. In fact, as it was subse- quently stated, he was so indignant that he wanted the Governor to chop off Recorder BROWN’s head forthwith. If QUAY and the Governor were equally indignant they concealed the fact much better, however, for according to the historian 1n question, QUAY assured STONE that *‘the wise course, in his opinion, was to pledge Senator FLINN that Recorder BROWN would be deposed after the election.” FLINN balk- ed at this, the narrative indicates, but the Governor was eqaul to the emergency. He impressed the FLINN crowd that he desired to play fair ‘‘hy declaring that if they insisted on it he would remove Re- eorder BROWN, regardless of the apparent’ wisdom of Senator QUAY’S advice.” Now Senator FLINN has been accused of selfishness and charged with coldness, but he is not adamant. When STONE revealed to him the exhaustless fountain of gener- o3ity and the bottomless well of affection which his heart comprises, the Pittsburger melted and though he didn’t fall on the neck of his friend and weep, as he probably ought to bave done, he finally assented. Attorney General ELKIN and Insurance Commissioner DURHAM, the historian de- olares, ‘‘stood from the start in favor of fol- lowing Senator QUAY’s advice.” But STONE hesitated and FLINN demurred un- til finally ELKIN ‘‘assured them that he had been authorized by Senator QUAY to guarantee that there would be no defauls in the payment of the price promised for support of Judge PoTTsR and State Treas- ury candidate HARRIS by the FLINN ma- chine. What a beautiful exhibition of unselfish friendship and patriotism? How could any of those present fail to be afféss- Two combinations with" ed? ring episode and it’s small wonder they were touched. But to those of us who are outside of the influence of STONE'S magnetism there is something excruciatingly funny in the whole affair. The Governor was redeem- ing one gold-brick by giving another of thinner gilding and FLINN, who pretends to be a man of the world, took the dope with the avidity that a sucker takes a fat worm. The whole affair was a farce, but it fooled FLINN. The promise is good enough until after the election and then if it is not satisfactory the power to do barm is gone. Next year STONE and QUAY will control the politics of Allegheny county as certainly as they now control Philadelphia or Lancaster. Pennsylvania Railroad Reduced Rates to San Francisco.

COLES FOR SEPTEMBER—Coles in Storms and Signs, makes predictions for September as follows : ! The new moon will occar on the 20th, and the planets will then be in position to cause high gales and destructive storms in many sections of the country just before, on and after that date. The great danger from regular storm periods during the cur- rent month will be between the 2nd and 6th, Sth and 14th, and the greatest danger will be from the 16th to the 22nd, and the 24th to the 29th. The heat waves and cold waves will closely follow throughout the American continent, and dark storm clouds will follow close npon the heels of bright sunny days. Several beautiful sunset scenes will ap- pear this month : also a strange phenomena. Showers of strange appearing insects may be looked for this month, and the grass- hopper plague will renew its attack upon many sections of the country. meee QA erent . ——Mrs. W. L. Malin, of Howard street, bad a very exciting experience and a mi- raculous escape from serious injuries ina With her little son Ogden she had driven down to the 4:44 train to meet Mr. Malin, who was expected to arrive on it. Reach- ing the station a few minutes before train time she drove out Thomas streets and re- turned just as the train had backed into the station. As is well known all the B. E. V. passenger trains stop so that the engine stands about half-way over the High street crossing. Mrs. Malin undertook to drive past the end of the engine and her horse shied, causing the lett front wheel of the runabout to strike the post that holds up the crossing warn- ing. The wheel went down aud Mrs. Malin was tilted out; her skirts becoming fastened in the spokes of the rear wheel. She was dragged behind the then thor- oughly frightened horse, at a furious pace, over to the pile of lamber in frous of Keich- line's store, where Davy Justice grabbed the runaway aod threw him on the cross- ing at the express office. Mrs. Malin suf- fered a cat on the head aud nose and was greatly shocked, “but ‘éicaped any More serious injury. Ogden was in the runabout all the time and had the horse not been, caught’ would probably have been very badly hart. i itd DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. —A district Sunday school convention will be held in the Lutheran church, at Gates- burg, on Sunday and Monday, September 8th and 9th.

The severest storm ever experienced by our oldest residents visited this section last Friday evening. The lightning flashed con- tinuously for almost two hours and the thunder crashed and roared. The rain came down in torrents and the roads and newly plowed fields were badly washed. The new I. 0. O. F. hall was struck and telephone poles and trees were splintered into kindling wood. With the exception, though, of the homes in the lowland being flooded there was no serious damage done. On last Friday a happy neighborhood as- semblage met at the old Goheen mansion at Rock Springs to honor one of the oldest resi- dents of the valley, John Johnson Goheen.

The old home, which is located within a few yards of Rock Springs, the source of Spruce Creek, is noted for its beautiful surroundings and out look. Here he has lived most of his life, esteemed and respected by the entire commu- nity. His wife died several years ago but his home is presided over by his daughters Bar- bara and Bell, two of his twelve children. Philipsburg.
