Not since the halcyon days of the old
syndicate has the ""onnel!svil!e cokers
received such pleasant news as went to
the a!nio.-t ten thousand employes of the

on Friday, when notices were osted at
all the works stating that an advance ia
wages averaging aliout fifteen per cent,
will go into effect on April first next.

I r is reported at I lai rishurg that the

motion with the announcement that the
religious gail. hill is to he killed. Hav
ing ui--ed the house, it is now in the
committee on education of the senate.
It will hek.pt there, orders from the
hosses U ing that it must le strangled,
and not rejH.rted. The friends of the
hill and the leaders of the patriotic so
sieties who have Ix'en lobbying for it are
howling mad. The senate committee
has been set up against the bill, and eve
ry Senator is cheering to himself that
this means he escapes going on record
for the bill.
SKNATOK .lAMfcS (J. Ml'RHKI.I. of Jef-
ferson has introduced a new school
ltk bill. It provides for a commis
sion to le aiiointtdhy the governor,
which is to cousi.-t of one county school
superintendent from each congressional
district and the superintendent of pub
lic printing, who is to act as presi
dent of the commission. It will be the
duty of these gentlemen to edit and
complete a uniform series of text look
in common schools. Of course the
members of the commission would te
well j a:d for their services' and that
would furnish some additional pick

Com. mission kks ok Pensions Ixk hrkn
estimates that there will not I? any de
creased amount appropriated for jen
sions during the next three years after
March, ls'.'o. The amount appropria
ted for the fiscal year of lV.'G, iu round
numU-rs, is 1 -tO,(HMi,(H0; for the pres
ent year, the amount was $150,(XK),(HH.
The rea.-on for the alienee of any er
ceptit.le decrease is that the falling off
owing to deaths and other causes is
aliout counterbalanced by first payments
in 1-cnsions allowed. As cases are al
lowed from time to time, there are
large first payments, sometimes for ar
rears, and always dating from the time
the application was filed.
Pkksi asiox does not soften the hearts
of the tiermans and Frenchmen who
have put an embargo upon the importa
tion of American cattle, ihey are wait
ing until we shall sugar coat our plead
ing by a repeal of obnoxious tariff dif
ferentials. There is no blood letting in
tariff wars, but they are sometimes as
costly to the participants as would be a
gunpowder contest. If the market for
beef and pork is to be curtailed those
w ho find themselves injured will have no
difficulty in fixing the blame where it
belongs. The sugar trust senators were
originally responsible for the differential
duty on beet root sugar, and they were
also responsible for the defeat of the
house bill to rejieal the differential duty.
Amkkh an goods are finding wider
market as a result of the Wilson bill.
Confirmation of this fact is fouud in the
following significant dispatch from Ixin
d .n ou Monday: "A lockout of em
ployes iu the Iicester factories is im
minent. The trouble is due to a reduc
tion of wages made necessary by the in
flux of American goods, which are Hood
ing F.agland. The British manufactur
ers declare that their trade will be gone
entirely unless the payment of lower
wages enable them to meet the Ameri
caa competition." Leicester id one of
the great woolen manufacturing centres
of Kngland. Americau hosiery, carpets
and other fabrics arc also finding good
markets in other sections of Europe in
competition with home products. The
new tariff law is sieedily vindicating
It is announced from a variety of
sources, says the Pittsburg W, that
Senator tuay has abandoned his advo
cacy of Tom Heed for the presidential
nomination, and promises to champion,
tiie aepiratious of the brave ("euerai
Hastings, the hero of Johnsto.vn. sen
ator C'amerou keeps on sawing wood,
doesn't say imu-h, has a silver lightning
rod up. and hojes that in the conflict of
issues aud men he may be the lucky
one.
The declaration for Hastings by Oiiay
and otheis means just this no more
and no less: There are two or three
Republican candidates whose chances of
the nomination seem to lie aliout equal
Reed, Harrison and McKinley. The
tight over them will be avoided iu the
State by having the national delegates
instructed for Hastings. Then at the
proer moment a trade will lie arranged,
the quid pro quo specified, and Pennsyl
vania will declare for the victor, aud so
get the honor, and resulting emolument,
of deciding the contest and (tossihly
making the president. Hastings in the
meantime will be used as a man of straw.
He stands about as much chance of the
presidential nomination as Senator
tiuay, and not nearly as good a chance
as Senator Cameron. Hut 'Tallying
I around" his name will avert any con
tlict in the state letween the friends of
other candidates, aud make the de'ega
gation a marketable commodity. This
is unquestionably the game, but it is a
reflection on the smartness of (Juay
it Co., that it should le exposed so ear-
"or is it a new game in Pennsylvania
Iolitics. As far back as 1m;o it was
practiced, the elder Cameron being the
trade-mark. .Mr. Lincoln's friends pur
chased the delegation, the condition be
ing that Mr. Cameron! should receive a
a cabinet place. He did. but "Honest
ld Ale" could stand the Camerou way
only a few months, and shunted Simon
j off to Russia. Then in lTti, with t'en
I eral Hartranft as a sign tmard, just as it
is proposed Hastings shall lie, the Penn
sylvania delegation defeated .lamest!
I'.laine for the presidential nomination,
and gave the votes that made Hayes
candidate and president. Mr. Hayes's
representatives promised that Ion Cam
i eron should have a cabinet place, bin
Mr. Hayes the president was a different
man from Hayes the candidate, and he
refused to honor the drafts made by his
co-partners, whereat there was much
virtuous indignation, and at the next
election Don Cameron quietly aided the
Democrats in carrying the state against
the federal administration to rebuke
Hayes.
"Pennsylvany's sheer," as good okl
Simon Cameron put it, is the maiu con
sideration. Aud the "sheer.' be it un
derstood, is not a .general distribution
of the goods, but a sort of department
shop; with P.oss luay as general mana
ger. That is the program, and the
secret of putting Hastings forward as a
man of straw to trade on and tight over.
The prosiect of serious complications
which threatens the. United States
through probable Eurojiean encroach
ment on Venezuela and Nicaragua, lias
assumed a phase of such danger to the
principle laid down in the Monroe doc
trine, that a special conference was held
at the White House on Wednesday af
ternoon to consider the subject. There
is no doubt whatever that this subject is
considered by the president and Secreta
ry (iresham is of much greater import
to this country than the Allianco inci
dent or the recall of Minister Tnurston
and must be handUd with unusual deli
cacy, and with the knowledge that a
misstep w ay plunge the government into
embarrassing complications with not
one, but several of the Kurojean nations.
(ireat Britain's ultimatum to Nicara
gua demanding an indemnity for the
expulsion of Mr. Hatch, the British con
sular agent, from Bluelields and the re
port that a British warship is on her way
to enforce the demand, is the latest
known serious phase of the difficulties
growiug out of the Bluefields affair, and
as action by this government may in
volve a new construction of the Monroe
doctrine, it can be seen how slowly and
carefully the president and his advisers
are obliged to feel their war to prevent
any possibility of blunder or to neglect
any advantage that might weaken the
practical sponsorship which the I'nited
States government holds over the South
American and Central American repub
lics. Pkoit.k who do not realize the great
falling off in revenue owing to the de
pression of business cannot understand
why the private hospitals and charities
are to lie shut out iu the matter of state
aid this year, but when they are told of
the larger corporations, and manufac
turing concerns, which two or three
years ago paid thousands into the treas
try, are now returning hundreds, they
might be able to understand the necessi
ty for cutting the legislative appropria
atious. One corporation, which paid
two years ago about $so0,t00 in tax,
paid the same tax this year with h.-s
than $4t0,0t0. A smaller corporation,
which paid $150 before, pays now.
These are illustrations of the steady de
crease in the revenues, ami there is no
reason to lelieve that the estimate of
000,000 for the uext two years is not
sufficiently generous. Notwithstanding
the statement of the state fiscal officers
regardiug the falling off of revenue
those who are interested in appropria
tions to private institutions think that
the balances in the general fund of the
state treasury from month to month in
dicate the ability of the state to give
those institutions their usual aid.
The Allegheny river ice gorge at Kit
tanning broke Friday night and the fol
lowing moruing left a clear channel ex
tending from the rolling mill to the up
per end of the town. The ice has been
weakened by the rtcent thaws and the
water is rapidly eating its way through
the gorge and the whole accumulated
mass is now expected to pass out with
out doing any damage.

could not have made the great and mas

in the popular conception of the word,
but there was a coniidenoe iu the tone
in which lie talked in a plain, matter of
fact, straightforward way io the court,
showing that a decision against the con
stitutionality of tiie income tax would
reverse no less than five previous deci
sions of the supreme court, jwhich was
far more convincing to ordinary minds
than the tricks of oratory resorted to !v
some of his opponents. The supre ne
court took a two weeks recess to day, in
order to prepare decisions in this and
other important cases. Should the tie

annual St. Patrick's Day banquet of the

The society was formerly known as the
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. Ou its
membership rolls are the names of (leu.

aud enjoyable, in connection with the
formal opening of the Baltic ami North
Canal; but he also understands that
business always comes before pleasure,
and for that reason there is no proba
bility that the great pressure, social ami
otherwise, brought to lear upon him to
add other ships to the San Francisco ami
the Marblehead. which have been or
dered to attend the canal opening, will
be successful. There are more important
reasons for keeping our ships elsewhere.
Senator Oortnan celebrated nis lifty
seventh birthday this week, ami few
meu of forty are more spry. Among
the souvenirs of the occasion was a
handsome ivory-handled, gold-mounted
horse whip, presented by one of his
Washington admirers who knows the
senator's fondness for driving a
double team. The senator and -liis
family will not go to liurope, as has
been stated, but expect to spend the
summer traveling through California,
anil probably extending the trip as far
as Alaska, returning in time for the
senator to take an active part in the
campaigu in .Maryland.
It is expected that the new arrival in
the Cleveland family will put in an ap
pearance before the close of spring.
The family will pn.l a .ly remain in the
White House until that important event,
although it has been their custom to
?end the spring and early summer at
their suburban residence. But what

The permanence of prominent fami
lies is undergoing a severe strain in
the !
United States.
There are in this country communi
ties which have beeu in existence for
Ut'il years, and yet it would be impossi
hie to find any descendants of the prom
ineut families of ilie tirst century, ami
indeed but very few of the second, whilt
those of the prsent generation might
be counted on one's fingers.
There lives no man iu whose veins
the blood of Washington runs. Perhajis
it is best that it is so, for if the decav
should have followed iu his that over
took the families of most others who
were prominent with him, it would le
pitahic to see a Washington as a drunk
ard or an imbecile. The Adamses, the
Shermans and a few other families have
maintained respectability, but the great
trend of tiie sons of prominent meu has
been downward.
The name i f Jefferson Davis is, not
perpetuated, nor is that of Alexander II
Stephens. Like Washington loth
names must slant! as closed iu history.
Even in those families which hav? been
perpetuated, what pitab'e samples have
!eeii left for insectioii.
If fatality follows the families of great
meu, how much more sweeping it has
been with the families of rich men.
Almost tie fore the founder of the family
has retiretl from active business, he sees
ins s ins gone to the dogs, the creatures
of evil habits and rushing headlong into
the great abyss. Meauwhiie the office
boy in the business house on which this
fortune was built up, is destined to con
trol it later oti.
Time, like the title, is a great leveler.
Those who shone last year are begging
for alms at the backdoor this year, and
