BLOOM8BURG, PA..
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1888.
A record of tho strikes for 1887 is
furnished by Jiradstreet's, which shows
that 850,000 strikers lost in timo 10,
000,000 days' work nn nvcrngo of
twenty-sovon days or ono month each.
At a low estimate tho wnccs sacrificed
amount to $13,500,000. Tho inoreaso
In wages gained by successful striko
will not amount to one fifth of that sum.
If hot-headed labor leaders who pre-
oipttatn strikes can demonstrate from
tui'so tiuures where the nrotit of sink
injt oomes in, thoir mastery of sophistry
will havo to bo admitted. To men
who have been taught that twico two
are only four these figures demonstrate
tho stupendous folly of tbo strike busi
ness, and nothing elso. The real work'
Inemen should study theso cold figures
more and listen to tho false reasoning
of their demagogical leaders Ices if they
want to keep tho wolf from tho door.
WABHINGT0N LETTER
from our Regular Correapondent.1
Wajhikotoh. D. a, Jan. 80, 1883.
Tho Democrats of tho Ways and
Means Committee are uivini: them
selves earnostly to tho arduous tk of
framing a new tariff bill, which they
hope will prove aooepinble to their
associates in tho House and to the
party generally. Those Republicans
who constitute the minority of the com
mittee, will not be consulted in regard
to tho mexsure until the work is com
oleto and roadv for dual action. IV
majority are well satisfied with the
progress tney nave tnaue, anu i ieei
sanguine of the ultimate success ol
their labors, though that most desirable
result cannot be reached without liberal
concessions to conflicting opinions. It
is proposed U have a general rev'sion
and readjustment of the tariff, aud the
it i r . l im ill I :
sauem leatures oi me dih win uu biuii
lar to that presented on a former occa
sion by Mr. Hewitt. Tbo new bill will
make a reduction of 20 cor cunt, on
sugar and also largo reductions in the
taxes on irult, brandies and tooacco,
and will place salt, wool, lumber, and
other raw materials on the tree list.
Tho bill is practically agreed upon now
and it is probable that it will be
brought to the consideration of th
House within the next three weeks
Then will begin tho great buttle for
tariff reform, which will be tho key
note ot the Democratic Presidential
campaign.
Mr. Kaudall threw himself in the
breach the other day, and by resorting
to dilatory tactics, prevented the ap
pointment of a day for the introduction
r , , n e . i . i e y .
oi onis ior lao erection oi uuvernmeu'
buildings. This was a patriotio ser
vice on the part of the distinguished
Pennsylvania statesman, as there ap
pears to be a general sentiment through'
out the conntry to secure suoh appro
priations. If' these raids upon the
treasury were not checked there would
soon bo no surplus to puzzle tbo might
intellects of our national legislators.
Responsive to the popular demand
there appears to he a pretty general
sentiment in the Ho ise in favor of
authorizing the issue of about twenty
million dollars in fractional curr 'ncv.
There seems to be a shortage of small
bills, as the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is pushing work on the S'2
and 5 sliver certihoates, as the presen
demand is greatly in exuess of the sup
ply, but it is believed that in a few
days the stock will be sufficiently larg i.
the Uivu service Commissioner
have been cited to appear before a
House committee and to express tnet
views on several bills that are now un
der consideration. Some changes are
likely, for it is an open secret that the
committee on civil service, more . par
tioularly the chairman, are opposed to
the present law.
One Republican member, Represent
ativo White, ot Indiana, is to be un
seated upon the motion of his competi-
tor.Ex-Congressman Lowrv. Although
it is beyond question that White receiv
ed a clear majority of the votes cast he
will be expelled, because it is shown
that he has not been legally 'nat or al
lied, being a native of Scotland. Mr.
Low'ry does not xecure the seat, as it
is the decision of the committee on
elections that there was no ehction,
hence a vacanoy will bo declared to ex
lit
The next contest to be aoted upon i
thatof Worthington, Dem crat, againi-t
Post, Republican, of Illinois. Th
election was very close only twenty
nine majority being claimed and it im
probable that another Republican will
be unseated, as the Democrat claim'
that he has a rightful majority of ten
votes.
The Senate Committee on pension
havo unanimously approved Senator
Manderaon's "Grand Army" bill, whio'
has been so framed as to overcome tho
objection! urged by President Cleve
land in his disapproval of the depend
cntpenaion bill.
The bill granting Mrs. Logan a
$2,000 pension, excited quite a dis
cussion among tho Senators, but it
passed by a large majority, as did an
other bill increasing to the samu
amount the pension otMrs. Frank P.
Blair.

It Is the popular but nevertheless errone
ous belief of car and wagon drivers that
they have the right ot way at street cross.
Ings and that It Is the duty of the pedes,
triana to get out of the way of all vehicles.
This Is a fallacy which Judge Flnletter ot
Philadelphia recently exploded In a charge
to a Jury In a case whero damages were
asked against the 71 action Company for
' running Into and Injuring a man who was
driving a wagon. la the course of his
charge Judge Flnletter made the following
pertinent remark, which he said could be
taken as a warning by all ear drivers, who
without slacking tho speed of their carB,
ring their bell to clear the tracki
"Upon the streets of the city tho wayfarer
has the prlmnry right, and when he reach,
es a crossing before any kind of vehicle he
has the right of way, and it is the duty of
thou who are using vehicles to see that
they do not Interfere with that right or
make Its exercise dangerous. The right of
way belongs to the vehicle which first
reaches the crosslug and all other vehicles
roust observe this right. A violation of
this right is negligence The ring
ing of a bell or any other notice does
not xivo the right to cross-"

Notes, Six days, t. e., from the timo ot
speaking the wbrds In the preceding vera
High mountain, probably Tabor, though ire
do not know, Transfiguration, changed in
appeArauco. Ellas, I, p., Elijah. Tabernacles,
tents. Overshadowed, surrounded or shut
them in. Bore afraid, or very greatly fright
ened. The vision, tho things you havo seen.
Ilestoro, bring liack or make ns they were.
Listed, desired or chose to dp. Of them, by
them or at their hands. Of John, or con
cerning John.
V. 1. Is there something peculiar In this
specific statement of timet It Is not the usu
al custom of the Evangelists. Commonly
their form of expression is "after this," r
"after theso thing" llut here the time Is
definitely stated. And was not Ibis done to
show that this narrative is tho fulfillment of
tho statement In chapter xvl, 281 .Booh It
. not lnt the divine assurance that the ti ans
figuratlon was simply a visible representa
tion or object lemon of tho kingdom! And
how glorious on Illustration it was. Neither
Matthew nor Mark tells us why Jcstu went
up into this mountain, but Luke tells us it
was "to pray." And we know that on all
tho great epochs of his life he thus sought
communion with the Father.
V, 3. The course of the narrative seems to
hare been tills. From soma causo, hero as
afterward in the garden; these disciple
"were heavy with sleep." The transfigura
tion had taken place; his heavenly visitant
were on the scene, and their talking with
Jesus was going on, before they awaked.
Then the other events of the narrative took
place as here related. And what was this
transfiguration? Borne bodily change! No.
Something wrought on him from wlthoutl
Clearly not He was "this same Jesus" all
through. The same In this outshining of his
glory, as when In lowlier garb he ascended
tho mountain. It was a change In appear
ance only. It was "the fashion of his
countenance,'' that was altered; I.e., Its
outward appearance was chauged. Ills
countenance Itself remained the cams.
His raiment was not changed. It only
shone in the light. It "became white
and glistening" as every opaque body
does In Intense light It was the out
shining of his Indwelling glory. Did not th
Schcchlnah the glory of the divine presence
abide within the tabernacle! Was Lot hi
the true tabernacle of God I Did not that
glory constantly obido within hlmt An t
what was transfiguration but letting '.Us
glory shine forth) If this is the true accuont
of the matter and who can doubt it how
wondrously tho glory of his humiliation is
Intensified.
V. 3. AVe have In this verso two points!
L The two visitants, and
a Their talking with Jesus.
As to (1) we ore expressly told they were
"two men." It was not an apparntion. They
were not spirits. They were men just this
and nothing less.
As to (2) Luke tells us of what they talked.
It was "of his decease or departure, which he
should accomplish at Jerusalem." Doubtless
the death of Christ was the theme of the in
tensest wonder in tho heavenly world. Angels
and departed believers not alike, indeed, or
for the same reason, still as really "desire
to look into these things." And here the two
men, representing the law and the prophets,
appeared in glory to talk with their Lord
about It And the disciples heard them talk.
V. 4. It must have been at this time or
while they were talking that the disciples
awoke. And what a vision burst upon them.
Jesus in his glory. Moses and Ellas with the
splendors of the heavenly world upon them.
And the theme of their talk was their Lord's
death upon the cross. Now on such a scene
as this they opened their eyes, and such words
as these met their ears. And Peter, una wed
by both, broke out into this most extraordi
nary proposition. Surely no one but Peter
could have done this. And no one but a
man writing under the guidance ot the spirit
of truth would have recorded it
V. fi. Two. things Invite attention in this
verse, i. e.,
1. The cloud Itself, and,
2. The voice out of the cloud.
As to (1) it seems from Luke's account,
that the cloud came upon them just as Moses
and Elias wero departing. It was not an or
dinary cloud. Would the disciples in that
case have "feared as they entered into the
cloud" or as the cloud come upon themt
Would it then have been called "a bright
cloud" or a cloud glorious with inward
light!
And as to (2), Fetor expressly settled this
question if indeed, there could havo been a
question about it He says it was "the voire
from tho excellent glory" the voice ot God
the Father, giving honor and glory to His
Incarnate Son. It was the attestation of his
souship. And as such, as the Incarnate God,
they wero in all their future ministry to hear
bim. What he taught they were to affirm.
And his word must point every duty; and
settle every dispute.
V. 6-8. The vision draws to a close. Be
fore that voice, which then, they understood
not, the disciples "sore afraid" fell to the
ground. The cloud passes, and Jesus with
every trace of his indwelling glory shut in
rises, comes and touches them, and bids them
not to be afraid.
V. 0. Is the reason ot this charge to be
found in the truth, that this vision is a fore
shadowing of the future of the church in
glory! As such it could not be understood
till Jesus was risen from the dead, and the
spirit unfolded its meaning to them.
V. 10. The word "then," seems to give
great point to this question of tho disciples.
It is as if they had said "why then in that
cose, if the son of man is to rise from the
dead do the Scribes assert that Elias must
first come! In that case why should he
cornel What is the use or purpote of his
coming!
V. 11-13. And in this reply two truths ap
pear, i. e.,
1, The coming of Elijah, and,
2. The mission of John in its relation to
that coming.
OXKERAL LESSONS.
L The meaning of the transfiguration wo
cannot well mistake here. Was it not a reve
lation of the real nature and position of their
Lord and of the coming glory of his church!
And how it remained with them, and cheered
and strengthened them in the hours of their
darkest trials we very well know, It made
them see and know under the Spirit's teach
ing, that the tvords they preached about
Jesus were not "cunningly devised fables."
It taught them the majesty and dignity ot
his person and office; the glory of his king
dom, and his coming again to set It up. Of
all these, this transfiguration was an illustra
tion and proof at once glorious and irresis
tible. 2. The transfiguration thows tho certainty
of life beyond the grave. It has no meaning
if it docs not mean this.
