The Baltimore and Ohie railroad man agement is said te be willing te yield te thetelegrapnew in its employ all they demand, but is net -willing te make the concession te the telegraphers' organiza tion. This seems te be a distinction without much of a difference. If the in dividual telegraphers can secure from the company the terms which their or ganizatien requires, it will net make much difference te them that the com pany repudiates their brotherhood ; and. en the ether band, if the company has te concede what the brotherhood de mands, it ought net te be of much con sequence te it whether it concedes it te the brotherhood or the Individual brothers. The idea of the company is that it 1b against its interests te fester the asso ciation of its empleyes by making con cessions te the demands which they present. Ne doubt it is against the ein pleyers' interest that the empleyes com bine. But it is one of these things tliat they cannot cure acd therefore must needs endure. The Baltimore and Ohie company wants telegraphers. It cannot supply the place of these who have de manded higher wages. It, therefore, must concede the demand. But it would net have te de this if the tele graphers had net combined together te make their claim ; and since it is their combination that secures their de mand the Baltimore and Ohie company recognizes and festers the combination by allowing the demand in whatever manner it does it. It is simply foolishness te declare that it is willing te give what its work men ask, but is net willing te yield it in I the demand of their organization. Seme employers have a fit ei mental paralysis when they contemplate a work inemen's union. They declare that they will net employ men who are in any union. Jehn Fritz, of the Bethlehem iron works, is one of this kind. He stepped his iron works the ether day because he was asked te treat with the representatives of his workingmen. He was refused te talk with because they were banded together in a union. This was all very geed policy from Mr. Fritz's standpoint if it could be suc cessfully carried out. If Mr. Fritz can ruu his works without a combination of his workmen, he can manage them te suit himself; and that is a very pleasant way te manage. But wien the iron industry revives and workmen are in demand Mr. Fritz will have te get oil his horse or be thrown. The question between employer and em ployed is one of supply and demand. If there is a redundancy of workmen no combination among thtm can leug keep up the price of their labi-r and if there i a scarcity, the lack of combination cannot keep the price of labor down. There is no sound reason ferthe diead which employers have of labor unions They are just as inevitable and unavoid able as the logic which teaches everyone that in union there is strength. But that strength cannot cemruund what nature does net yield. It cannot change the law which fixes the price of labor according te its abundance or scarcilj, and which commands the situation final ly in all contests between employer and employed Fair Representation. The Philadelphia Press thinks it has, foiseoth, found a mare's nest by the discovery that in the coming Democratic state convention Allegheny county will have 16 delegates and Philadelphia CD. Hence, "the voice of Cameron.Elk.For Cameren.Elk.For Cameron.Elk.Fer est, Fulton, Pike, Petter, Sullivan and Union counties, which send but one delegate each, will scarcely be heard amidst the demands of the large cities ;" "the people of the state will hesitate leug betere granting a permanent lease of power te that party whose rules leek te a government of the slate from the cities;" "the Democratic paity rules would serve te continue an evtr shadowing city influence in the state government, provided the voters would elect the ticket ramed by a convention in which it will l-e se easy for the cities and the populous Democratic 'counties te make comme 1 cause." This is an original discovery, indetd. Let us see hew the case stands by com parison with the make up of th Repub lican state convention. Allegheny and Philadelphia together have 85 delegates in a Democratic state convention of S5? less than one-fourth or, te ba exact less than 24 per cent, of the whole num ber. In a Republican state convention these counties have 64 delegates out of 251 ever one fourth, mere than 25 per cent. It is a mere affectation of the Press, un founded in fact, that the cities have any undue influence in the Democratic state convention. On the ether band, the delegates being apportioned en the party vote and the solid masses of that vote being found in the rural districts, they are represented by the large delegations from counties like Berks, Luzerne, Schuylkill, Lancaster, Montgomery, Bucks, Yerk, Westmoreland and Le high. While the Democratic system of ref ref resentatten in state conventions is fair and even, that of the Republicans is net. The latter holds te the old and absurd idea of senatorial and represen tative delegates, a meaningless classifi catien ; it also gives as great representa tion te 10,000 members of the party in one part of the state as te 20,000 in another, and makes it possible for the representatives of a small minority of the party te make Its nominations. In the state, like in national conventions, the Stalwart wing of the party baseftpn taken advantage of this te defeat t!ie will of the party majority by poliil peliil cil strategy. Asa matter of history, in Pennsylvania Republican conventions, theeverwbelming influence of the largest two cities of the state, when joined with the undue representation of the minority counties, has again and again exercised control ; while in Democratic state con cen con TMtlens this state of affairs has been yery rare ; and under the new rules the I BeptrHfcaa," -piiikitfrbu' Allegby, ly-r$RTe tew relative weight than i Ix view of much well-founded popular criticism and the unanimous adverse opinion of the three daily newspapers of this city upon the project te build a $5,000 hospital in thirty days, the county authorities seem te hesitate about carry ing out the resolution passed the ether day by Commissioners Myers and Summy. They might easily have foreseen that thev would come te a pass where they would recognize that their action was naaiy and ill-considered. It is right that the county should provide for such exigec. cles as have arisen out of the prevalence of smallpox ; and, as the mayor, says the city, which pays its ample quota of county tax, is no mere called upon te de any part of the county's work than any ether town or tewnBhip in the county. If a temporary emergency is te be provided for it should have been done in a temporary way ; and while the com missioners have been pothering ever the wrong way te de the right thing they might have provided tents, a frame hos pital or whatever is the best means of treating smallpox patients and met every demand which could arise until a perma nent hospital could be erected in a proper and lawful way. If they continue in doubt as te their duty let them make their temporary arrangements without any further delay and proceed in an orderly and systematic manner te ar range for the building and fitting up of a permanent hospital ; but in no event should they persist in the blunder of undertaking te finish a brick building for the reception of hospital patients in the Ben Mishler style of running up buildings. Under the discussion which has been hud about the proper sort of hospital for contagious diseases it has become very doubtful, indeed, in our opinion, whether a brick structure is the best that can be provided for the purpose. The editor of the JVcje Era gives valuable testimony en this point, in relating the experience of the Wil mington authorities as personally de tailed te him. And there can be no dcubt that the county, before determin ing what it should build, should secure the best light te be had as te hew it may build best.

He married a daughter of Governer Turner, of North Carolina. He was the sole survivor of the celebrated Virginia eonventien of 1829 and '30. He was a persoe of mere thau ordinary men tal capacity, and until the last days of his bug life, manifested a deep interest in the prosperity of the country.

Business men with large interests involved, requiring prompt tele graphing, de net care te subjeet their messages te the chance of mailing, which is the condition upde which they are new received. The fast of it is, the telegraph companies are net prepared te handle business such as is required by the public, and, having failed for four days te make themselvas independent of the strikers, it is evident that the complete telegraphic business of the oeunlry cannot be resumed until a compromise is effected. It is absurd and vain for the telegraph managers te insist that they are in geed weiking condition. " m PKBSONAIi Blaine's book will be out in October.

The rain poured through the cars and drenched the passengers The cars steed en one rail for a long distance, owing te the force of the wind, and trees fell across the track, being broken off like pipe-stems. The darkness was se great that the engineer could net see out of the cab. At Raukauna several buildings were wrecked. The storm passed ever te the north and west. Lightning caused the destruction of a private residence and a barn at La Cresse. Washouts occurred en nearly all the railroads in the vicinity and it is rumored that two trains were thrown from the track and the passengers slightly injured by being thrown from their berths. Mrs. Grace Faull was killed at Dodgeville by the downfall of her house which was struek by the tornado, aud another woman is reported te have been killed at a small town near Dodgeville. Buildings were blown down in every direction and the crops were prostrated. Mr. Duntley's house and barn, three miles north of Mantorville, Minn., were demolished and Mr. Dantly instantly killed, while his wife was fatally injured. The residence of E. Little, occupied by H.

Cholera in Londen. Several eases of chelerastill exist in the East End. It seems impossible te stamp the malady out in that distriet. There is as yet no scare in the city, although it Is net denied that what cholera there is there caine direct in shipping from Egypt. The gravest cause for an immediate aiarm upon the subject exists in the fact that the scourge had a strong held in Alexandria before its existence was acknowledged by the sanitary authorities there or they had quarantined the pert. There are several vessels due seen in Londen which left Alexandria juBt before the quarantine there and their arrival is dreaded. The government is doing all in its power te prevent any epidemie in the East End. Sanitary lectures are delivered free and frequently, meetings for sanitary ergani zatien are numerous and rules and pamphlets are published and distributed free. It cannot be denied that cases of severe diarrheea and dysentery are unnsu ally common in the East End, aud the weather, which has been rainy, chilly and humid, has been quite favorable for the spread of cheleraic complaints. m Wet Dibble fcaveraKandail. Congressman Dibble in Columbia Register. I realize as a fact, which may as well be brought te the attention of the peeple of Seuth Carolina, that it is the opinion of a decided majority of the national Deme critic party that te force the tariff issue into the campaign of 1884 will result in the inevitable defeat of the Democratic party at that okctten. Most men take a superficial view of this great question of political economy, and it is net when men are under the heat of a political canvass that they change their views en economic questions. And it is beyond question that a defeat of the Democratic party in 1884, upon the issue of a tariff, will postpone indefinitely any substantial tariff reform and. fix the shackles of protection upon us firmly and securely for many years. Hence I believe that the Democracy and tariff reform are in greater danger from the misguided zeal of its friends than from any ether source. If the Democracy ex pect te win in 1884 they must learn some what from lessens of the-past. m a Horrible Death at a Yeung Weman.

Philadelphia Pre?9. The city of Lancaster cannot de better than te erect tents for the use of its small pox patients. Tents make the best hes pitals. During the civil war, patients suffering from wounds or diseace did better when cared for in tents than when sent te the city hospitals The percentsge of cures of patients sheltered from sun, wind and rain, but given the ventilation of all out doers, was very much greater than the percentage of cases cured in the hospitals. The smallpox patient especially is benefited by the pure air and greater degree of cleanliness that is possible te bd maintained by the use of tents. A death rate of 50 or 60 per cent has cot been unusual, and even as high a death rate as 80 per cent has been reached in the small pox hospitals. Besides tne favorable showing of the records for the u?e of tents they have the additional advantage of low first cost, and they can be destroyed when the epidemic has been overcome By the use of the proper kind of tents, by the selection of a suitable site for their erection and by prompt action Lancaster can stamp out the smallpox before the approaeh of cold weather. It will be very much easier te prevent an epidemie new than te step it then. Fell from a Pear Tree.

The threw was bad, however, but tbe ball was laying right under his feet and he was looking for it in the Geld. The scere in full is as fellows : IROXjIDgS. T Zecher, ss 5 Klng.lt 5 Hofferd. p .'

The Merritt club disbanded en Saturday night, altheagh an effort was made by the Camden people te raise money te have it continue playing. The players wanted te getaway and it was disbanded. They played at Wilmington ou Saturday for the last time, and managers et" ether eIuUs were present te secure the players. Manager Tayler, of the Brooklyn club, succeeded in securing six of the players, viz.: Kimber, Corcoran. Househelder, Greenwood, Kenziel and Fenuelly.

A COI.ORfcl WOUlii dlr'.ErtNU store or Less of a rallure Hew the Huck sters Kan the All'ttlr Themselves. The annual weeds meeting which in held at Quarryville came off yesterday. The attendance from this, city w:u probably larger than ever before. Twe trains were run each way. aud between -100 um! 500 tickets were sold at the King ttictt station. Over a car lead of colored peeple went from this city, and there were purhaps two dozen en the grounds from the surrounding country. The attendance of white people from the country was net as large a- in foriuer ytv.ns. The reason given for that was that the country people are very much afraid of smallpox. They have heard mauy exaggerated reports of the disease in thi city, aud are shy about associating with people from here in crowds. Tbe camp was advertised by huge pesters as :t "Grand Colored Weeds Meeting." Hew au affair of this kind can be made grand and re ligious also is a question which is left te be solved by the outer prising hucksters who arrun;; the weeds meeting each succeeding year. When au affair in advertised like thi.-t our peeple leek upon it mero as a place of anmsoineiit thau for worship, se they expect the managers te exhibit what they advertise. In this a big failure was made ychttnlay. A choir of " ene hundred voices" was advertised but instead -there was a (piartette composed of bootblacks from this city. They fur nished the singing for the ecrviemi, at the conclusion of which they put a man out with a hat for their own benetit. Iu case the collections did net " pan out" as they should, the choir would suddenly step. Onceduring the aftcr-iaxm thn man with the hat came in aud a count was made. The leader of ihe uheu- announced that for forty cents moie the hinging would be con tinued. This amount, was forthcoming, and the vocalists continued until they sang all they ki&w. and a great deal that they did net knew. They weru net at all careful about their musk;, and saug as many ballads as bynni.i. In the morning the pi caching was by Rev. Jehn Frances, tin old caiupmceling war herse. What his subject, was no one present was able te tell, and it is likely that Jehn himself did net knew, but he touched upon a great many themes. At the conclusion of his remarks the choir closed the services by singiug. Iu the afternoon Itev. Kee'a pleached and Rev. M. M. Diggs exberttd. The choir closed the services with siuging As seen as the latter had finished the crowd began te leave the grounds. By ft o'clock all the Lancaster people, iuctudlug the colored folks, were at the depot ready te come home, and no evening service was held. The weatbjur was very warm yesterday, aud it was unpleasant iu the weeds. There is no water within a half mi In of the grounds, and persons were compelled te go thirsty or drink ciicus lemonade by the gallon. The hucksters, who wcre really the managers of Lb ull'air, bad several big stands en tbe grennds, and did a thriving business. An admission for horses was charged and the colored folks received that, tegether with the collections which were taken up at the stand. The man who lifted this laborer hard during the day and be was scarcely off bis feet at any time for mere than fifteen minutes. The bat was kept en the meve and the receipts were encouraging. When the train was ready te leave for Lancaster everybody was glad, aud it will be come time before the crowd who went down te Quarry ville yesterday will bj induced te attend another " colored" campmeeting.
