This will have a slightly de- pressiag effect on puices, and it is seen in the decline of wheat to 83% cents last week. it seems to us that tuese| figures are unnatucal, and that p.ices should be better. We are of the opinion we hela last week, and atribute the low prices to the gaablers in wheat, and that specuia.ion is at the bottom of it to the detriment of the farmer. itd —— : Quar’s nomination last week means Beaver's nomination next year. Well, we are satisfied if only General Beaver is. The General is doing his best to make no enemies, and won't commit himself where there are two sides. He is becoming educated in the arts of the politician who looks to sweep. We do not believe that General Beaver is a dyed-in-the-wool machine politician, but he is willing to run with the machine fous enough to make the governorship, nd if he makes it we think he will switch off on a siding of his own and make the machine putup on the outside of the executive chamber, REWARD THE FAITHFUL! The active, woiking Democrats who have borne the hea: and burden of tae battle for pariy success are the ones who should receive the odices, all other things beiog equal. It is no disgrace to ask for office as a reward for services to party. On the contrary, it is a decent and honorable ambition. Unfortunately, impudence very often pushes merit aside, Nothing brings the political sucker to the surface so quickly as party success, While the party was struggling to get into power that species of fish lay very low and quiet, but as pear and manifest ail of the greed of the suark and seem ready to eat those who have devoted their lives and for- tanes to the service of the party, Let them be relegated to the depths in which they concealed themselves while the conflict was raging, Democratic veterans to the front! Let the men who strove and suffered for the party be put on guard and the laggards and loafers who took nointerest In politics until the battle was over, go to the rear, where they belong. The above remarks, from the Morning Patriot, may be read with profit in the latitnde of Centre county as well as else. where. We have these political “suck- ers” here-~they do nothing for the party only at the time they want an office, Other “suckers” come over as soon as they see the party is going to win, and in a single year's stay have the impu- dence to ask for fat places and crowd themselves to the front. And then there are those foolish enough to be led warns the citizens to keep off Madison street until the present excitement has subsided. “The police,” he continues, “will do their duty at all hazards” Four thousand men, employes of the Cleveland rolling mill company, of Cleveland, Ohio, struck on July 1st. Since the great strike of 1882, employes of this corporation have suffered reduc. tions in wages which, in the aggregate, have lowered their wages fully one-half, On June 30th the general manager posted a notice of a farther reduction, to take effect on July 1st. The men delib- arated during the night, and at 4 o'clock in the moring a body of them left the mill on a strike. They were rapidly followed by the workmen in the mail, new rod, hoop, puddle, barguide, bloom- ing and butt mills, and the Seemens & Martin Steel works. The only depart. ments which continued operations were the Bessemer steel works and the wire and brick rod mills. Later, the boiler makers and the yard brakemen struck. On July 2nd, about eight o'clock, two or three hundred men, chiefly Bohemians and Poles, employes of the wire mills, who joined the strike, gathered outside the yards, beat down the gates and marched in, compelling all the laborers and teamsters they met to stop work at oace, One teamster whipped up bis horses and attempted to drive through the crowd. A shower of stones was hurled upon him and his horses. One of the missiles struck the man on the head, inflicting a serious wound. The strikery have refused to return to work at their old wages, and demand a 25 per cent, increase and two weeks’ pay before returning to work. Tux Times’ Harrisburg special, speak- ing of Quay's nomination, says: “The campaign, I am convinced, will be lively and entertaining. With Quay and Cooper it will be in the shrewdest hands in the state. They are not going to al- low it to be fought on the personal record of the candidate for stale treas- urer and become defensive. It will be a fight, from their standpoint, for the life and future of the Republican party. They will direct the mind of the party voter to the importance of next year, when a governor, legislature and United States senator, with a full delegation in congress, will be at stake. Beyond this will be noted the importance of prepar- ing the party, by early and decided suc- ceases, for recovering control of the ad. ministration at Washington, It bas al ready been insiduously given out that Quay’s success this year means General Beaver's election for governor next year, and Beaver now has the Republican heart of the state completely, Last win- ter,in the caucus which nominated Cam- eron for senator, mention of Beaver's name as a prospective candidate for gov. esnor was greeted with applause. It was repeated in the late convention when Cessna brought Beaver up in the samo way.

Certainly, the brothers are making a great stir, are preaching al- most daily, and something may come of their efforts. Bat, all the same, the theoretic leaders, visible and invisible, continue to exhort the brethren to be steadfast, and to hold out faithful to the end. And, curiously, those who have fled the furthest from the courts, and so are safest, plead most touchingly for the prevalence and growth of the martyr spirit (in others.)
