The Fltlsburg iron manufacturers nnd Ifcelr skilled workmen are nbeut setting the rates of wages for Uie year beginning with the first of June, and though they are apart In their views it in likely that they will come together, alnce the demand of the manufacturers Is but for a ten per cent, reduction, and the work men can hardly fail te eco the necessity for a concession in the present condition of the Iren trnde. They will hardly von ture upon a strike te preserve a mte of wages which cannot be afforded. The only argument upon which they can re sist a reduction with any show of reason is that a reduction of wages will net profit the manufacturer, because it will result in a concspendiug reduction in the price of iron. This is a consideration for both parties te entertain; and the further ene connected with it us te whether a reduction in the price of iron will net Increase the demand for It. The Iren trade is depressed new net bo be bo cauae of the high price of manufactured Iren, but because of Its overproduction. That an Increased demand will be so se cured by a reduction of price is very doubtful, In view of the low prices that have been for a long time prevailing un der the slack demand. It is quite pro pre pro bable that a lowered cost te the Pitta burg manufacturer and the lowered price at which he will be thereby enabled te sell te the consumer will net Increase hlslrade or his profits. Unless it will stimulate an Increased consumption the Pittsburg manufacturer will Ond his advantage In It only in the ability which It may give him te take away the trade of ether manufacturers or keep them fretn taking away his trade. The ene who can make ireu cheapest will supply it te the con sumer. The Pittsburg makers pay much higher wages than are paid en this side of the mountains. They have, te offset this, cheap coal, and railroad competition which enables them te reach out te distant markets with their products. At present, the conflict between the railroads for Ees'., bound freights enables them te put their iron into the seaboard markets at about the same rates thai are charged from this Bectlen. Thete is net enough freight offering te keep all the carrj ing facul ties employed, and consequently the carriers are fighting with each ether for what there is, and will take auy prices they can get. Pittsburg, with Us im mense output cf Iren, and many railroads hungering for it, can, in sucn times as these, dictate termi te the railroads If itB manufacturers had a like power te Impose terms of wages upon their em pleyes they would command the mar kets of the country and keep their mills at work at a fine profit. The aggrega tion, however, of se many skilled work men gives them the power te dictate the terms of their employment, and te secure the lien's share of the advantages of Pittsburg's location amidst mines and railroads. They get, as aii additieu te their wages, about all of the advantage Pittsburg has in the cost of its coal ever Philadelphia, and jet the Pittsburg man ufacturer seems te be able te undersell the Philadelphia manufacturer in his own market. It may be that In consid ering this the Pittsburg workmen will be unable te see any no cesslty for their submitting te a reduction of wages. But it Is the general impression that the Pittsburg manufacturer, In offering ids product at the prevailing prices, is selling below cost, and just te keep his business going nnd te avoid winding up in bankruptcy in the hope of better times alien J. It is dlfllculttOBcehewhecau be paying his expenses, even under the advantages he possesses in cheap coal and Jrelghts, with the wages he is paying. He has certainly get the cost of manufacture down te the lowest point in everything but wages ; and that the weiltmen have been able te command from him the wages they obtain, is a notable illustration of their power, since they have arrajed against them net only the manufacturers but the railroads, which could get better freight rates if there was anything left te pay them with after paying the labor bills. If t liu work men conclude that the camel's back won't break, even though they concede mr.hlug In the.i wages, doubtless they will net submit te a re ductlen though only of ten mr cent. In business the rule seems te be every man for himself. It Is a rule the carrying companies religiously observe. The manufacturers generally de the same ; and workmen ure uet alew in yielding their obedience le it. The Pittsburg manufacturers no doubt will be made te pay for labor all that it is worth te them. It seems that after all, the tax and tariff bill adopted last year will net tie crease therovenues materially, and from the custom reports thus far, under its operation, the exclusion Is that the rev euue for the next fiscal year will ba $302,000,000 and the aurplus $120,000, ("JO. "We have frequently pointed out that reduced duties de net necessarily decrease the revenue; they stimulate imports, while higher protection shuts thomeut. It Is doubtful if the Morrison bill itself will reach the main purpose aimed at, the reduction of revenues and the abatement of the odious and dangerous surplus. It has net been demonstrated that this would be the result of the Morrison bill. Hence the mere practicable and popular way te amend the revenuelaws would be te first abolish the internal taxes and then gradually enlarge the free list, be ginning, with raw materials and extend t Ing te manufactured goods, as it is found that they need less protection. This is a . policy upon which the Democrats can be united nnd logical advocates of free trade can ultimately accomplish their Ideas. m tm r Tjie picture in Puck reprceentlng limine us a tatoeod man in the museum, decorated with reminders of the scan dals which have made him notorious, lias created somewhat of a pante among the membera of his party. Mr. Rewan, of Philadelphia, la n practical politician aud has geed digestion, but he Is frightened nt the idea of going through the campaign with such n candidate. Mr, He wan, by the way, will have a vete In the Chicago convention. It will net be cast for Ulnlne. Thk Lancaster Inquirer does uet go far enough in its recommeiidation that a citizens committee be formed te reform the Republican primaries. The prevail ing local political corruption extends te the general election and affects both parties. The remedy should be as wide reaching as the disease. What Is wanted Is a committee, of honest citizens and practical politicians te devise and prose cute means te end the use of money in politics for all purposes except these ex prcssly authorized by the statute whlc'i defines legltlmate expenses. There never was a better time te de this than new. The city elections iit.d Hepublican primaries are ever ; the fall campaign will uet open for some time yet; at' parties feel the need of some radical corrective of the present riotous system of corruption. The nuisance of p.iyim? voters' taxes should be abated. Tmrn Is geed work for a geed public cetnu.it tee. Let It be organized before the He publican county committee meets te levy Its tax upon the nominee. Fer if it is te make assessments after the usual rate the bummers nnd luvlers will veraciously demand their share of the peel Sew's the time. Ii does net matter se much what Charles Emery Smith and the editor of the Xcw Era think about the Harrisburg convention as what Mr. McMancs aud Mr. Quay knew and say nbeut that bed). Mr. McMaties, who heads the delegates-at-large, and who, with Mr. Quay, knows mere about the delegation te Cnlcage and has mete influence with it, than any ether dozen men in the state, new boldly declares that he does net feel bound by his instructions for Blaine, and that he was elected notwithstanding it wiu widely known that this was his position- This Is iu direct contradiction of what the Prcts has maintained ; aud it would be just as easy for Mr. Quay te demon strate that even the election of Calvin Wells, n distinctive Blaine man, could net have been accomplished had the Quay Magee combination decided other wise. The Pftsi accuses the Democratic newspapers with misrepresenting the situation in the Hepublican party of this state ; It should be caret il te inform Itself of the facts. If it knows them it is entitled te no credit for trjlng te feel Its readers. Ox Saturday, referring te MeManes' attitude, the Philadelphia Pram, in an authoritative sort of way, said that McMaties "recognize- the riyht of the state convention te instruct the dele gates-at-large, whom it directly elects and who go as its immediate represent.' tlves -, he uiade and makes no objection te the ITarrisburt; convention instruct ing for Mr. Blaine, whom he supported four years a0 ; and, with the recogni tion of all that this implies, he acjepts his election under that instruction." The same day Mr. McManes said In a newspaper interview that he was opposed te instructions, did net think it wise te act upon them, nnd would net de se, and he thought Blaine would net no elvs from Philadelphia en first ballet. That the J'rcss thinks Mr. McManes knows his own mind better than it knows it, appears frjin the fact that it does net attempt te set him straight in its cdlter'al columns te day. lv Kiamsm has been revived iu e jlumes of the New Yerk Tribune, perhaps uecdless te add the u IS Blaine should begia the collection el materials for a new literary work : " He I Thrice Lest tha Prealdeuti.il Nomina tion."

TWO GREAT MASSACRES. Afitoeirv or iniuanh a no ahaim. Twfle Men muiI Weman llntcticrist tif Apnchr anil 430 Out Uuwn by tlie Hrbcllleut Arnb. Though additional new of the totrlble Indian matutaore in Mexico has beeu re eclved In Denver, it 1 net yet known Just w'-en the Indiana rese and under wnone U Ail ;fihtp they were at the time they com nutted th horrible outrages, which have just ceme light. Dolluite details cannot be ascertained, owing te the heavy storm which has been nglug in Colerado, Mexico and the adjoining states and terrl Unlets prostrating telegraph lines. The tlrst intelligence was received from Albuimoripie, New Mexico, by which it appeais that ou Monday last a band of about eitfhty Apaches made their appear ance just outside, the villafte of Jamez, Moxieo. The few inhabitants of the place were demoralized, uud prepared for lustant ll'glit ; the ludlaus, howevor, did net com dispened te cause eny bloodshed, and were Bitnlied with driving efT about fifty head of cattle, the residents of Juuiez net caring te nhew eny hostility. The marauders went oil iu the direotieu of a small hamlet, named Sau Miguel, en ariivuig at which peiut the Apaches began the homble work which has made their uame the sytieuym for murder, torture aud rapiue. They euteied the hamlet with savage yells, the scattered residence haviug ue time for pioparatieu. The men aud women, te tt e number of about a dozen, were dragged from their home, do'pite their piteous appeals, aud butchered iu the most horrible maimer, iu most instances the scalps of the victims being tern from them still a ive. After helping thomelve te no incouiderable booty aud many head of cattle, the Indians then proceeded oil the warpath, aud sotue distance from S.iu Miguel overtook a pick train, C3tiistlug of several persons aud sixteeu animals. It was shortly before neon that the Apaches came mi sight of the small and comparatively unguarded ciravau, which was en route te Sjnera. A miuer, whose name is aid te have been Willits, with his wife and daughter, a nephew 17 years old, and another miner named Orubb, are thought te have beeu the hite persons composing the pirty, aided by ceveral Mexicaus in the trauspertatun of their household goods and mustangs. Just as preparations were bemg undo for the uoeoday halt, the mules having been unhitched from the wagons, the Apaches broke ever the crest of a low hill and I'h fiendish yells chirged down the valley. Running hastily for their lillw the men, for a few moments made a -i- r -ited defence, but it was uet leri.ii.:il every white ami Mexican but im.p was lifeless. Tne stock was lassoed an I e r railed, the wageus sacked and theti bit. fl ed, aud the m-u's gory corpses scalped and hacked with tomahawks in the most horrible way. The fate of the wemau is unknown, but in th-? hands of the Apaches death is far pre-.-, kble te eiptivity for a wemau. Ne plausible couj-eturc can be mdulged in as te who led Hi ' Apaches iu the mas sacre.

A very destructive freight wreck oc curred at the stoek jartln In the eastern pirt of this city lietween 0 and 7 o'clock en Saturday ovenlng, An eastern bound freight tiitlu, whleh had been doing biiiiiu shifting, was standing en the south traek, The lligmaii was back te warn trains, which were following, but It Is said that he was net far enough Irem his train te give the signal iu time. At tliU point there is considerable of a down gradn en the toad, and most tialus run iituhlgii rate of speed, There Is also a out ve whleh begins near the Penn Iren winks, Shortly before tl o'clock a train drawn by engine Ne.

Tlie loeomiitivo dashed Inte the rear of the ether train and the result was oue of the worst wrecks that has tukeu place iu these parts for a long time. The engine aud ens were piled tin top el o.ieh ether te the height et thirty font. Oi the front train the oibeose wai broken Inte four puts which fell ou either side of the track. The next ear, which was leaded with oeal was broken te pieces, and its contents spilled. Several ether ears ou this trilu were bully broken, but did net leave the track. The engine which caused the wreck was completely demolished. With the exception of the wheels nud axles thore was scarcely a pieoe of Iren or weed that was left wheie, ei at least in condition te be used. Four ears of this train woie totally wieeked nud two were smashed te pieces. in the oue next te the engine was a pacing horseiiauml " Den Hamilton," which was tieing slilppcd Irem l'lnladelplna te Jehns town. This ea. was prehibly broken mere thin any, it, atrange te say, the animal was uet lulled. He wis thrown le the track, but was able t gut no uud walk off. He was burned ami out aud it is feared that hi back was injured. At llrst It was thought that the m m who had the horse iu oharge wai nl.ie In the car, but It was s ieu learned th it be was iu the eiboine of the train and w is therefore uninjured. I'ne ether wricked cars were leaded with mrrelmtul se, luinl lure, itc , which was spilled all along tlm trnek nnd badly damaged The laigoe.ik timbers iu the ears were broken nlf like pipe Btems.

Immediately after the a"culeut the wr ok traitis stationed at Coin ubia an I Patkes- burg were seut for and were se u mi lh lh greund. Scores of men were put te work and iu a short time t'ie north track w,ei oleared re that passenger trains con I pass, after a delay of about two benis. After 11 o'clock nt night none el tne vycsteru trains were delu)ed. l'he wreck ers worked hard all night ami ttie gteatur part of yesterday before everything was cleared up. The goods which hud been In the ears wero removed te places of safi-t), nnd tlie wrecked engine aud cars were taken te Columbia. About eight o'clock Saturday evening it was feared that u large lire would n suit from the wreck, as the burning coals irem the etigiue were scattered all around mid plenty of iutlammable material was iu close proximity. Te prevent this the tlreuieu were called out by au alum which was struek from tlu hex tit Plum au 1 Chest nut streets.
