He is 47, his bride is 22. All who voted for him can expect a wedding cake by mail. The RerorTER sends its congrat- ulations. ES — The most cheeky thing: For a fellow who has always plotted to elect Repub- licans to office to ask Democrats to nom- inate him and “stick to the ticket. There won't be any “stick” right there The truth and trick will all be told. Bi tbo A Good Templar says if he can get the name of the one who joined the lodge and “treats the crowd,” he'll have the double-faced chap pictured. AA The President's wedding will not be on a very fussy plan—it will bave an air of democratic simplicity, The ar- rangements heretofore outlined for se- curing privacy of the wedding will be strictly adhered to. In addition to the President and his bride and members of the Cabinet and their wives, the only persons who will be present at the cere- mony are Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Cleveland, Miss Folsom, Mr. Benjamin Folsom, and possibly two or three other relatives of the bride, Wilson S. Bissell, the Presi- dent's former law partner, Miss Nelson, of Albany, an old friend ofthc Cleveland family, Dr. and Mrs. Byron Sunderland, and Colonel and Mrs. Lamont, about 25 in all. It has been definitely deter- mined that no newspaper correspond- ents or reporters can be admitted on this occasion, but it is nevertheless authora- tively promised that an accurate descrip- tin of the wedding will be furnished the press from the White House. iit We always knew the Republicans never had the kindliest feelings for Dem- ozrats, but that they are real torturers is proven by the cruel flings in letters they send to the RerorteEm, in view of the contest for Prothonotary. They taunt us terribly. One asks: “What is Bohe- mian oats worth now 7” Another wants to know whether the Democrats will sow Bohemian oats in August or in November, Still another asks: “When one deals in Bohemian oats ‘what will the harvest be?” And yet another says that the Republicans will down us on the Bohemian oats issue. And so on. Now, we protest against such cruelty. Bohemian oats will not be sown on the Democratic ticket, and the harvest will be nothing. Of all the issues that the Republicans will make, for goodness sake let it be anything else than the Bo- hemian oats swind'e No party can sar- vive that issue. Do pity us, We noticed briefly in our last issue the resumption of work in the Clear- field region. The further details say that a successful settlement of the strike was reached by mutual concessions on the part of both operators and miners. | The result was wholly unexpected and has given rise to great rejoicing. The many fatile efforts by the Executive Board of Federation, No. 3, to adjust the difficulties led the starving Houtzdale miners to try to secure relief, and a commiltee of five, representing three thousand miners, selected to act inde- pendently of the Federation or the Knights of Labor, met in Tyrone a com- mittee of operators appointed by the Philadelphia Coal Exchange, consisting of President Daniel Brisban, John Bradley and H. G. Fisher, for the pur- pose of calmly considering the question of resumption. Soon a written agree- ment was effected, whereby the miners agreed to resume at the old wages of forty cents per 2,240 pounds, on the con- dition of guaranteed just weight, with a check weighman on every tipple, an abolition of the store order system and cash payments on the 15th of each month, with the privilege to make some purchases where they please; that the price for all dead work and other mat ters of dispute shall be referred for set- tlement to the mine superintendent and one of his miners, and that no miner shall be discharged for participating in the strike, but that all shall be employed without any discrimination. The terms of this agreement, formu. lated principally by the miners them- selves, govern three thousand men, two- thirds of the whole number in the Houtzdale district, representing every colliery, ' I MA WAS AINS Most, Schenck and Braunschweig, the anarchists who have been on trial in the Court of General Sessions at. Chicago, for inciting a riotat the meeting of the rifle club on Good Friday evening, were convicted on Friday: The jury were out scarcely an hour, When Most was tak- en to court in the morning from the Tombs he waschained to John McGrath, an alleged firebug, and they were driven to the General Sessions building in the Black Maria. EE io|=<l The manner in which the appoints ment of a prothonotary was brought about was simply in keeping with the practices of those who were a party to it, and we are glad to observe that all good and sensible Democrats express their disgust of the little piece of low trick- ery. a ——— ——— PAYING DEAR FOR THE WHISTLE. The Boston Commercial Bulletin has been making inquiries among the archi- tects of that city, and finds that the May strikes have had the effect of sus. pending investments aggregating $4- 000,000. Itis believed that the present would have been the greatest building year since 1874, but that the labor agi- tation caused capitalists to postpone ac- tion. The Bulletin farther says that about forty per cent. of the work offered architects during the past week is now hung up in their offices. The Chicago Tims of Monday prints an articla de- scriptive of the effect of the labor troubles on building operations in that city, embodying statements from the leading architects. They vary bat slightly, and estimate the value of the suspended buildings at $10,000. That is, the strikes operated to prevent that amount of new buildings. Bradstree's estimates for the whole country is $25, 000,000, as the cost of one month's labor disturbance, and the amount is not ex- cessive, considering the reliable reports we have from a few cities. Twenty-five millions of dollars represents three months’ work at two dollars and a half a day for one Lundred and twelve thon- sand persons. That much is certainly lost in balancing accounts for this year, in labor and material, but can any one tell what has been gained, aside from an experience that may prove valuable or otherwise? And this great loss in building operations only shows the facts in one branch of industry, whereas nearly every department of labor, ex- cept probably agriculture, has been more or less aflocted. After careful in- quiry DBradsireet’s estimate is that the losses entailed by labor disturbances since April 24, are: WARE os ssamcus ssrsirssnsnssscmasns sonst sntarssnd $ 2,500 000 Current t nes ca——— 106,000 New bu stopped......... ¥) 60 Total . nr 529,707 000 This is exclusive of building contracts suspended, and represents real not pros- pective losses.

THE GREAT WEDDING, Washington, May 28. —'resic land will be House on Wednesday evening, June 2, to Miss Frances recent death of the relative of Miss Folsom has changed the original plans for the wed- ding, and the invitations will now be limited to a few of the near rela members of the Cabinet and their wives, Rev. Dr. Sunderland, of the First Presby- terian church of Washington, will off ciate. The ceremony will be followed by a collation, and the wedding in all its de- tails will be plain and nnostentatious, Second Officer Nelson, speaking of the bride, says: “She is a tall, handsome woman, with a commanding presence, over which she (has no restraint. We officers are not supposed to know who is on board our vessel. I myself did not learn of the presence of our distinguish- ed tourist forsome days after we left Antwerp. There were about first- class passengers on board, but which was Miss Folsom I did not know. But when they told me the President's in- tended bride was on board I picked her out on the instant. How? Why, by her fine, stately bearing. I knew she was just such a woman whom the head of agreat country like this would select for a partner. No, she EASES NO airs, In fact, she is remarkably humble. Ey- erybody liked and admired her.” One ofthe calin passengers of the Noordland who became acquainted with Miss Folsom during the voyage said to a reporter : “She is certainly a very charming and dignified girl and cauuot fail to be high- ly thought of and admired wherever she may be.” The neatest feature of the wedding, thus far, is the pretty note which the President gent out to each member of the Cabinet. Here is a copy of one, which is given because it is not that which was addressed to the Secretary of the Inte~ rior : Exucurive Maxson, May 20, 18806, My Duan Me, Lasar—1 am going to be married on Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock at the White House to Mis Fol. rom.
