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

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

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.

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-

eron for senator, mention of Beaver's
name as a prospective candidate for gov.

was repeated in the late convention
when Cessna brought Beaver up in the

prevalence and growth of the martyr

FEARVUL WORK OF A MAD DOG.
Anna, Ill, July 8.—Joha C. Tyget!, a
wealthy farmer and blooded stock man
living near this place, owned a fine bull
dog. which went mad yesterday, and ran
soapping and biting about the house,
and, dashing into the doorvard, enconn-
tered a bevy of little girls playing, and
in an instant had bitten three of them
upon the bands, faces and limbs, They
were all children of Tygett. The animal
then made his way into an adjacent field,
where he hit twenty or thirty head of
thoroughbred cattle, ually ercaping into
the timber. A posse of mean hanted the
animal down after a chase, shooting him
dead, but not until be bad showu fight,
attempting to bite several of the farmers.
A number of caltie died this morning in
great agony, of hydrophobia, sad it is
probable the entire herd will succumb to
the dreadful disease. Thus far the chils
dren bave not suffered from their
wounds, and this morning Tygett sent to
Anna for a madstope. It is feared sev
everal other dogs were bitten, Tygett
loses $10,000 worth of cattle.

Paris, July 6.~General Courcy, com-
mander of the French forces, telegraphs
from Hue in regard to the attack made
upon bim by the Annamite-garrison the
night after his arrival at the capital. He
gives the loss in killed and wounded on
both sides as follows: French, 60; An-
namites, 1.000. After his engagement,
General Ccurcy occupied the citadel,
which he found to contain 1,000 guns.
He has also ordered that reinforcements
be sent to him from Haiphong The
press of Paris, in speaking of the attack,
insist that a severe and striking punish-
ment should be administered to the An-
namites, They also express the belief
that the attack was the result of a con~
spiracy formed by China. M. de Freyci-
net, minister for foreign affairs, has or
dered General Codrey to extract from
the government at Hue an immediate
reparation for the attack.
