masses cif the I leniocracy that the most
ntrcres-ive oppfisition of those who were

was overcome, and his nomination
achieved in accordance with the popular
will and power.'
Thf. Ways and Means committee has
apreed to recommend the adjournment
of Comrres on next Monday, July 25.
The neees.-ary work of the session, is so
far advanced that it is prohahle that the
date fixed upon will he agreed to in the
House and concurred in hy tho Senate.
Aa lon.j as Senate and House shall be at
political cros-purposes there can he no
legislation touching matters in regard to
which the two j;reat parties are in
thorough disagreement. They can,
however, aaree to disagree, and o to
the country on their records.
The House has not attempted a com
plete revision of the tariff because it
would have been a lost labor; but it has
gone far enough to indicate the line of
reform and amendment which may be
expected when the Democratic party
shall have retrained complete control of
Congress.
Skn'Atok Yoorhki. in his recent
speech in the Senate, discus.-in; the
Homestead affair, told the following
truths: ''Labor riots such as this wore
unknown while there was a tariff for
revenue oniy. T'ney had been made
pos.-il.le by protection. You (tho Re
publicans) had made these poor people
who had laid down their live? on the
Monongahela believe you were protecting
them. Xever was there a creator lie.
You (ihe Republican party) had said the
Carno;cios must tie protected against for
eign competition in order to enable them
to pay higher wages to their laborers.
Had they dune it? The Republican
party had given them .V jt cent, fin
iron: more than 70 jkt cent, on steel and
instead of paying higher wages Mr Car
negie told his men he would have to in
sist on from l'J to -to per cent, lower
Wage-. Wo have two excellent i-niten-tiari-s
in Indiana, and whenever l'inker
ton men m mr into nurstate to discharge
the duties of peace ollicers and to make
fine-;.-, we have a cell for every one of
them. The amc can le .-ai l of the
iiieat -i.i'o ol N sv i rk.
The chief protection organ, says the
New York W'utlJ, now says that a high
tariff "is not at all intended to give one
set of workers especial advantagi s over
another." Its benign purpose is to "in
ciease the demand for all lal or, and ,-o
increase the pay which labor as a whole
can get."
This is ,-hifting the ground again.
When the McKinley bill was under
discussion its advocates urged that high
er duties were needed in order that the
protected industries might pay the high
wages required by the needs and the
dignity of American workingmen.
When no increase in wages followed,
McKinley told the voters of Rhode Is
land la.-t spring that his tariff was not
intended to increase but to '-maintain"
wages.
Now that wages have fallen and tive
hundred strikes have occurred in protect
ed indu.-tries tho organ of McKinley ism
says that protection ''is not at all in
tended to give, one set of workers especial
advantages over other-.
This will be interesting news to the
workers in protected industries who have
boon told that high tariffs are adopted to
guard them against competition with
cheap labor abroad in the same line of
products 'ii.
Is it not the climax of absurdity in
this, wonderful system that a duty of -!"
per cent, on steel is necessary to enable
the bricklayer or the carpenter to get
high wages hero, or that a duty of 100
per cent, on glass and 7o per cent, on
woolens is required to enable the farm
hand or the 'longshore man to prosper?
Are not the favored manufacturers great
philanthropists to yield their '-fat-' freely
in campaign contributions solely to in
crease the geueral average of wages ?
What will be the next excuse for the
failure of the millionaire beneficiaries of
the tariff to divide fairly with their
workmen the bounties secured to them
bv the tariff?
Tm: following circular has just been
issued by Secretory Worman, of the
Democratic societies of l'eniisylvania:
"Democratic Sueietii s, clubs of l'enn
syl vania :
"You are called upon, now for thor
ough organization. You have important
work to perform. Tin-Chicago conven
tion did its work well, and the Pennsyl
vania delegates are to be commended
for their firm stand in favor of Crovor
Cleveland's nomination for the high
oilice of president. He had been thor
oughly tried and came up to the full
Standard of Jeffersonian Democracy.
I !oth Cleveland and Stevenson are men
of uniUestioned integrity. The ticket
is a strong one, and by active and ener
getic effort will be triumphantly elected
in November next. It is therefore ex
jieoted that members of these societies
and clubs will do their duty earnestly
and manfully. Important matters for
the welfare of the nation are to be con
sidered in the nigh future, and ('rover
Cleveland has the intellect, the wisdom
and tho courage to propose such meas
uris as will result in the greatest good to
the greate.-t number of the people.
Among the important measures to be
considered is the tariff. Tariff for rev
enue to meet the expenses of the gov
ernment is just, but a high protective
tariff is an unjust tax upon the people
benefits but the tVw. The predictions of
the circulars i-sued to the people in the
past by the Democratic Society of Penn
sylvania have been more than verified.
Never in the history of the republic wa
t':n re a period w hen a general recurrence
to constitutional and therefore to Demo
cratic principles was more neces.-ary than
at prc.-ent. Reunite Democratic socie
ties, consult the active members of the
party, and organize at once. After the
election of officers the secretary will for
ward to Major John D. Worman, gene
era 1 secretary, Harrisburg, Pa., the
names and addresses of all ollicers.
Judge Cyrus L. Pershing, of Schuyl
kill county, was renominated for Judge
by the convention of that county on
Monday. Judge Pershing is a native of
this county and is well known to many
of our older citizens. We clip the fol
lowing from the I'hiladelphia Times.
The Democratic convention of Schuyl
kill county has very properly placed
Cyrus L. Pershing in nomination for a
third term as president judge in that dis
trict. Nominated at first by the Repub
licans and supported by the best element
of all parties, he has shown himself in
the highest and best sense of the term a
non-partisan judge and shoul J have been
accorded a unanimous re-election. Par
tisan considerations seems to have pre
vailed with the Schuylkill Republicans
this year, however, and without waiting
to see what action the Democrats would
take u the matter they nominated Dis
trict Attorney Koch for the position.
Now that Pershing has been placed in
nomination by the Democrats he is cer
tain to receive the votes of a large class
of business Republicans and to be elect
ed by an overw helming majority, a com
pliment that will be as creditable to the
voters of Schuylkill county as it will be
deserved by Judge Pershing.
On Monday, Secretary F. T. F. Rove
joy of the Carnegie Steel Company,
Limited, appeared before Alderman Mc
Masters, in Pittsburg, and made infor
mation against seven of the Homestead
strikers one of whom is Burgess Mc
Luckie of Homestead. Rurgess Mc
Liiekie when he heard of the warrants
being out immediately went to Pittsburg
and gave himself up and was locked up.
He was afterwards released on $10,000
bail. The other parties for whom war
rants were issued will give themselves up
it is said.
A Rei'I r,l. k an newspaper published at
Mr. Stevenson's homo, Rlooniington, l!i.,
says: "Mr. Stevenson is a gentleman
of unimpeachable character, and his
political friends will have no reason to
apologise for him in thot particular, and
of him they may tell the truth, without
shame to themst Ivci- or scandal to their
party."
Washington Letter.
Wasiiin;ton. D. C. July l"th, s;.
Senator Price is finding it diifn-ult to
Stick to his long-ago expressed determin
ation to retire trom the chairmanship
of the lkiiiocratio National committee,
owing to the wi.-h of Mr. Cleveland, ex
Sooetary Whitney, and other prominent
leaders of the party that he should re
tain the tMisition during the present
campaign. A gentleman who lias jut
returned from a visit to Mr. Cleveland
says that the muddle into which Mr.
Harrison has throw n los party by "turn
ing down all of those who opposed his
nomination has made a deep impres
sion upon Mr. Cleveland and that ho
will show an opposite spirit when the
Democratic committee meets to organ
ize for the campaign by inM.-ting that
no such discrimination ! made.
The free coinage of silver has been
killed again, and this time friends and
foes agree that.it is really ami truly
dead, for this session anyway. The
fight in the House over the bill was en
tirely out.-ide of party lines, as may be
judged from the fact that c.x-Spc:;ktr
Reed was the acknowledged leader of the
l." f members who-e votes defeated the
resolution reported from the committee
on Rules for the consideration of the
free coinage bill. Opinion differs as to
what, if any, effect this disposition of
the bill wiii have on thecampaign. Re
presentative lireckenridgc, of Kentucky,
says the defeat of the bill will result in
the election of Mr. Cleveland and tho
retention of a. number of Kastern con
gressional districts that would have been
lost if the House had passed the bill.
"1 recognize," continued Mr. P.rocken
ridge," that there is danger of losing a
few seats in the 1 Raise on account of
the failure of the bill, but those that are
lost will not Ik; to Republicans but to
taird-party men who agree with the
Democrats on the tariff and in opposi
tion to the force bill. It will also cause
a number of members who have usually
been elected without effort to tight for
their seats."
Every one who has had any experi
ence w ith the present mixed-up pension
laws will endorse tho resolution report
ed fr.mi the House committee on In
valid Pensions, this week, providing for
the apointnient of a select committee
of five, three to be taken from that com
mittee and two from the committee on
Pensions, and authorizing it to sit dur
ing the coming recess, for the purpose
of co.liyfying, and arranging the pen
sion laws now in force.
Rt publican lillibustering prevented
the joint resolution providing for the
election of I'. S. Senators by the people
l ing adopted by tho House this week.
They objected to it because it lacked the
force bill feature of placing the election
of Senators under Federal supervision.
Representative Itailey, of Texas, who
believes it to be the dut v of Congres.-men
to earn the pay they receive by being in
their seats when a session is being held,
and whose consistent and persistent ob
jections to the passage of any bill in the
absence of a quorum, lias brought him
notoriety and perhaps a few enemies:,
believes in practicing what he preaches,
and w hen he went tothesergeant-at-arms
of the House to draw some money he
requested that ollicial to deduct one day's
pay from the amount, as he was absent
one day. Mr. P.ailey contends that the
deduction is in stiict accordance with
law, but the sergeant-at-arms will con
sult with the accounting ollicers before
making it.
It is said that the Knights of I.alior
are pn paring to make a determined op
position in the House to the proposed
World's Fair appropriation. That or
ganization alleges unfair treatment of its
members by those in charge of the work
upon the grounds of the exposition at
Chicago.
Contrary to expectation, the anti-option
bill failed to reach a vole in the
Senate this week, although by a vote of
."i." to lo it was given the right of way,
but it was crowded out by an appropri
ation bill just as its supporters were try
ing to I, ring it to a vote. If it conies
up again it will pass, as it will require a
majority vote to get it up fur considera
tion. The Senate h as adopted tho amend
ment to the Sundry civil appropriation
bill provid'iig for the appropriation for
the World's l air of 10,Ooo,(j(H souvenir
silver half-dollars, to be coined from
special designs, with amendments pro
hibiting the opening of the fair on Sun
days and the sale of into.xicaiing liquors
on the grounds.
Fnloss something entirely unexpected
shall prevent it, Congress will adjourn
within the next fifteen days. It is ju.-t
possible that there may lie a serious hitch
over the numerous uineudmeuts which
the Senate has added to the Sundry civil
bill when, that measure gets back to the
House. Some delay may also be oc
casioned by the adoption, of legislation
rendered necessary by the report tit the
House Committee now engaged in inves
tigating the connection of the Pinkertons
with the Pennsylvania lalor trouble, if
that rejiort can lie made before adjourn
ment. Tiuite Thousand Dead.
Syiint.y, July 17. A report reached
hero from Timor that there iiad been a
volcanic eruption on the island of Sangir,
one of the Philippine group, and that
most of the inhabitants have been killed.
A native from the Talantsa Islands, who
landed at Selangen four weeks ago,
brought a remarkable story that several
other natives had ju.-t returned from a
vi yago near Sangir. They had intended
to land on the island, but were prevent
ed by the sight of mountains belching
forth smoke and lire. They reported
that the "whole island was on tire."
The water along the coast was full, they
said, of half burned wreckage, pieces of
houses and charred bodies.
The whole population is estimated at
about 12,UOO, seemed to have been
swept into the sea or burned, as not a
living soul was to be seen. Streams of
lava wore still llowing toward the shore,
showing that the activity of the volcanoes
had not abated.
The steamship Chatterthun, from
China to Sydney, brought a singular
story into port with her yesterday.
Near Sangir, her captain said, she passed
through miles of debris, dissimilar to
anything he had ln-fore seen at sea.
Poles aud sides of huts, most of them
charred and broken, were mingled with
such utensils as the natives of the Philip
pines use in cooking. Many unrecog
nizable objects resembling charred hu
man trunk were also seen. Articles of
head dress in the wreckage
were identified by a sailor who
had lived in the Philippines as peculiar
to the natives of Sangir and the near-by
islands of the Philippine groun.
The ship was passing through the
wreckage from 10 a. m. to 1 :oO P. t.
These reorts are partially credited here,
although they are lielieved to have lieen
exaggerated. The formation of Sangir
is volcanic aud several islands are known
to have threatened activity during the
l:L-t ten months.

RoImsCitv, Idaho. July lo. --Never
since the .-cttlt ineiit i f Idaho have there
been .-ueh enormous crops as during the
present Season. Tho products of grass
ami cram has been wonueitul. 1 his is i
the result of a change in the climate,
produced by the multiplication of irri
gating canals, which m-ji.-ien .agre.it
extent of country and create a humid
aiim spin re. It is believed by men i f
cxpericiuo, who have ii e 1 on the arid
belt for the last forty years, that the
time is not far distant when lands lying
far iibove where water can be directed
wi
it come aia
Me.
Formerly there were no rains in June.
1-ast year there vere two after the Fourth
of July, and the rainy season this ytar
has been unusually prolonged. Colorado
had the same exiKTicnce.
If the grass crop has Ieen large there
is u.-e for it. For the last two winters
have been favorable for stock rai.-ing.
and the numU r on hand is estimated at
irearlv double that of two years ago. A
majority of stock men are not permitting
their animals to run at large to provide
for themselves all the winter months, as
a few years ago, but an: keeping them
up and feeding them. Resides this they
have much improved in quality.

Labor Costs.
I
The Iron A:k is a thoroughly loyal Ser- j
vant of the protected interests of l'ennsyl- I
vania. !
In its last issue it presents a table of ;
wages paid in the wire rod industry 111 ,
order to Show that the opeiahvts receive .
very high pay. j
In doing so it is forced to give tho la-
bor 00MS in a ton of rods. It is tl.'.C. ;
Wire rods are protected by a duty of j
Six-tenths of a Cent a pound. This is ;
a ion, or more man six times as
much as the whole cost of labor.
Tho duty is practically prohibitory,

On nearly every ton of wire rods pro

American consumers pay a bounty of

The report of the Department of Agri
culture of the Pennsylvania weather bu
reau for the last week shows that the
western part of the state has fared pretty
well with regard to rainfall, which has
been normal. In the north west where
haymaking is not yet over, the rain hurt
the crop of hay. Com is beginning to
tassel and has good color. Tobacco and
potatoes, whilo in good shape, need rain.
Rye and barley, which are ready for
harvest, promise a good yield, as do near

generally light. In the southern coun
ties harvesting is aliout over.
