The year 1886 was prosperous notwithstanding the great labor troubles, but in a very small degree compared with what it would have been, had labor been less restive. The year 1887 dawned bright. ly, big with promises for the future, but another great strike is now upon us and the business interests of a great city and the commerce of the world tremble in the throes of a contest be. unguarded and irresponsible youth of | | i | ] {of the detail whieh wauld be disgusting to | Ol i the bands of the | boys soo girls, 18 a | are § can be | scraped together from week to week | and it fads ready admission to the | | mailer’ or “Sunday Scandal Monger.” | : : " : of | the want of competing railroads The Mr. (speak out plainly ia condemnation of | vote for it, If the independent Re- publicans don’t want 10 swallow the dose of the bosses let them vote for the Democratic candidates or put wpa Itis rediculous the dictation of » so called indepen ghs for & Democratic ticket aod BY | pwn with their co'ors flying, Take MR. tween labor and capital. Whatever the cause of the present strike ray be, certain it is that both parties are to blame to some extent. There is some. thing radically wrong in the system of labor organization that orders out thirty thousand men who have no grievance against their employers, and who are satisfied with their wages, simply because several bondred other men bave a grievance, Aud there is something wrong when a compromise connot be effected between the em ployer and his employes, without frst i resorting to a strike.

Tue clergymen of Philadelphia are just now assailing the ballet of the American Opera Company as corrup- tive of good morals and an outrage on Christianity. It may beall the Rev. erend gentlemen say it is but they have given that company the greatest advertisement it has ever received. Thousands have cut the ball room or reception where sociely exposes its neck, arms and busts in decollete cos tumed to see society's no less frail sie ters in tights and emasculated dresses, The only differemce betwesn society and the ballet is which end of the female anatomy shall illustrate natare unadorned. The most serious mis- take made by the ministers was in singling out any ome company, but they way have been used by some shrewd advertising agent as a card for the American Opera Company.

AN APPALLING MASS OF ICE At daybreak this morning the water had subsided sufficiently to enable the people to obtain an inadequate prospec- tive of the destruction, which can be better imagined thao described. At 7 this morning the water began to rise again and his continued gradually all day. At2 P.M the water had at tained a beight equal to last year. The accumulation of ice at Port Deposit has become appalling. Reports from McCalla Ferry, tweay- three miles north of here, and Colors, Md., four miles north, advise that the ice is passing through very rapidly and the water rising. It isimpossible to conjecture how it will terminate at Port Deposit. The body of ice in the mouth of the river shows no signs of breaking up, while the mass of ice from above con- tinues to pour in and accumulate here. The hills back of Port Deposit were thronged to-day with sightseers from the country and adjoining towns, THE PERIL INCREASING An unsuccessful attempt was made to-day to break the ice-gorge with dynamite, and after some hours of bard work the scheme was abandoned. There was a movement of the ice about 2.30 o'ciock this afternoon and the water in the main street rose sever. al feet. An immense hay shed be longing to Jacob Tome was almost completely demolished, as also were mavy stables and fish sheds along the shores. Reports from up the river are that heavy ice is coming down in im- mense quantities. That the worst is not yet is the general supposition, and should the gorge continue to resist the AvLpaxy, Janoary 29.—~The friends of Mr, Blaine ie this State are very desirous of identifying Senator-elect Hiscock with the political fortanes of their chief at the earliest possible day An opportunity for their public meet- ing had been found, Next month the Fort Orange Cleb gives its customary reception to the Legislature, at which Mr. Hiscock will be present. The plan is to have Mr. Blaine in this vicinity about that time, and to have him attend the reception asa “dis tinguished stranger,” standing side by side with Hiscock.

Receiy- ing no response he started around the house to apply at the rear, when through a bay-window he saw the form and features of an old msn who was sitting inside. As he was un aware of his presence the merchant approached to within a few feet of the window, scanning the old man’s face closely and stepping back immediate ly pronounced the man Brigham Young, whose marked features he had often studied in Salt Lake City and which once seen, he SAYS, Can never be forgotten. For a few moments the man sat silently, then raised his hand to his brow, revealing a scar about the wrist that still further es. tablishes his identity, Itis a wellknown fact that the elders of the Mormon Church throughout Utah sod Arizona have of late been preaching the return of the Prophet. This, together with the faces, that it was claimed by a St. Louis man some months ago that Young was seen and recognized in Loodon;. that a number of prominent Mormons from Salt Lake City have lately been seen upon the streets of Lincoln; that important legislation is about to be enacted to the detriment of the Mor. mon Church, and the veil of mystery with which the Prophet's death has. always been shrouded, makes it al. most certain that the Mormon baoners throughout Utah will soon be unfurl ed, sunouncing that “He is risen.” HA 1 O—. & merchant, | formerly did business in | and it vestigation, Sait
