DIS PATCH has been removed (o Corner of Gmlthfiald ted Diamond Streets. A WlnE AUUEU.UUNT. The settlement of the itrlkc at the Nft tlon.il Tube Works In McICeeiport is an un nuulteruted blessing, not only to the partita concerned, but to nil workingnien, trades men and employe" ot labor in thla region. It it a grievous pity that the strike took place at all, involving, as it has done, a low of nearly $100,000 in waees, etc., to the strikers, when there was so little difference ut bottom between the employers and the employed. Still there is abundant cause to rejoice that far more injurious results have hren averted by the wise conduct of the chief counselors on both end?. To-day the great works will be musical again arith the labor of nearly four thousand men. We congratulate the men on their decision to accept the fair " proposals of the National Tube Company, and we congratulate the inanagers of the corporation upon their manly, honest treatment of the men. The tube works will not be closed down sow for an indefinite term, but the question of the payment ot certain increase in wages asked by the men will not be neglected either. A committee of the men will inves tigate the wages paid at other establish ments and report their discoveries. The cost of this committee's work will bo de frayed, on a generous scale, by the National Tube Company, which is willing to be bound by the facts established by their employes' inquiry. That is to say, if the committee finds that the scale of wages at the National Tube Works is below that in vogue in simi lar ertabli.hment, the necessary increase to effect equality will bo given. The reference of other matters in dispute to arbitration is another excellent feature in the agreement. Altogether it is the best piece or news the labor uorld has given us for a long while. THE POKITION OF THE I1II.L. Though in the Senate there will bo found such individual differences of view upon this or that item of the new tariff as were exploited In the House, them is no real rvaaon to look for anything but approval of the bill as a whole. It is a Ilcpublicau measure, framed upon the lines ot tlio suo remfnl canvass ot 1888. The party In tho tjeuate can no uioro icfuso It than the party in tho Ilouae, or than the President might decline to sign it. Not a bit of doubt thero nro Senators and Congressmen, and particular Ilcpubllcani ont of Congress, too, who bellevo thoy could improve upon the provisions of the bill In respect to various article'. Hut It has to bo considered as a whole; and as tho operation ol tho tarlffli to bo shown by the experience of tho past and the experiments Immediately in view, thojudgment of JIoKlnley and his colleagues, who prepared the bill, Is opt to lie as good on tho uliolo as that of the isolated critics. The Senata will hardly laiio nny atep to ncriously Imperil the Act as it llw ktillldl. Finally, since tho proof of tho pudding Is in tho outing, tho Democrats, too, will. feel dlsposi-d t. uold lliclr pence lor a little, till thn hill goes into clloct and shows for itself vlietlicr it is a good or tiad thipg. Jlr. Cleveland may write till he wearies and his follower declaim us much as they please Btf-iinst hat they call the McKlnley "rob beries," but If the business prosperity of the country increases under tho new tariff, the publio will only deride the gloomy predic tions. KeaulU tell; if the McKlnley meas ure of protection helps general trade and in dustry the public will accept the conditiou and pay little or no regard to the theory of the anti-tariff people. If the opposite happen, the Democrats can take up their cry with renewed vigor. But in the mean while, during the test, the Democratic prophets have not eo much to gain as to risk by predictions. As for the Itepublican ad ministration, it very properly shows its con tinued laitb in its principles of protection by keeping tbem vigorously upon trial. LINKING NORTH AND POUTII. Cupid can cure a great many ills, and even national disagreements have been jiatehed up through the clever little god's ministrations. The other day the North nnd South of this glorious country were em licmatically welded together by the mar riage of the daughter ot Jeff Davis to a Northern man of typical Union blood. The example seems to be contagious, for The DisrATCn chronicles to-day another wed ding which may be taken ns a sign, in a mild way, of the closer bond that is grow ing between the once hostile sections. Gen eral F. W. Draper, who fought for the Union with all his might and main a quar ter of a century ago, was married yesterday to a daughter of one ot his foes upon the battlefield, General William Preston, of Kentucky. It would not be well to presume that be cause a Massachusetts millionaire, who was once a Union soldier, marries one of Ken tucky's lovely daughters- and tho charms of her women are not excelled by those of her whisky or her liorsos that sectional ill fcolluB between the North and South Is nt an end. Hut It Is from such unions ns theso that cordial relations' ro llktily to arise, ftiid the knitting toj-atur of all parti of tlm country may proceed. A mora important marriage has been mads between Northern capital mid Houthcrn resource) nnd the )iriierlt)' of a largo section of tbo South will lm HiKiir.piliiB, I'lTCIIINd INTO I'ATTI.

It la pleaunt to observe with what en thuslasm and unanimity Major Montooth'i fellow-townsmon an advancing to his sup port. The sun shone graelousty yesterday on everything and everybody, but ilia can didacy of the gallant Major camo In for lti warmest and brightest rays. No candlilato could ask for moro hearty indorsement than Major Montooth received last night from the Tariff Club. It Is tho expression of in telligent men's opinions, as these are, that lend strength to the claims of the aspirant to high office. The State may as well under stand that it is no mere politloal movement, but, as we are glad one of the speakers at tho Organisation Committee's meeting cm phasizod, the support of tho community, of the business men of this county, that is be hind Major Montooth. At the meeting In City Hall, announced for next Saturday, no doubt there will be still more elaborate ar rangements made for the enforcement of Allegheny county's choice at llarrlsburg. Now that Allegheny county has declared outf pokenly for Major .Montooth it would be productive of harmony and happinsss all around if the counties of Washington, Fayette and Greene, which, with a slice of Allegheny, make up the Twenty-fourth Congressional district, would follow suit. It will be just as well for the Republican candidates for Congress in that district to remember that Allegheny county is out for Montooth, and that delegates favorable to him will be warmly wecomed in the conven tion. No doubt the reasonableness of this suggestion will strike the gentlemen con cerned. Allegheny county is very much in earnest about her candidate this time. LIKE BOIIN FUKNCII.MEN. The exodus for Europe has begun. Lots of Pittsburgers will visit the Old World this mmmer. Those who go soon will find Paris still agitated by the ball given by Minister Wliitclaw Held. It was a beautiful ball, everybody says; a notable event even in Paris, the city of balls. Wo aro informed, moreover, on good authority that tho most critical Parisians present ngrecd that tho Americans on the floor wore their dress suits as if "thoy had been born French men," A most delicate compliment as suredly, and worthy of tho generous and wonderfully modest nation from some of whose sons It proccoded. A Frenchman could hardly pralso a foreigner moro highly than by comparing tho latter to himself. How rapidly we aro advanclngl Ameri cans rivaling Parisians in the cut of their clawhammers, and tho grnce with which they adjust the details of their uvcnlng at tire. It must make Mr. Wliitclaw Iteld's heart thrill to see his countrymen acquitting themselves so well. Ho must be congratu lated upon his good fortune In presiding over a function at which Americans nnd their tailors so distinguished themselves. It can bo hardly termed a dlplomatlo triumph, per haps, but It reflects a golden gleam or two upon tho Ministry of tho United States In Paris. If Mr. Hold had not given the ball, tho criticism would never have been made. Perhaps In time we may bo able to oongrat ulata tho French on wearing republicanism as If "they wcro born Americans." Wo shall welcome tho day. At prosent tho French have tho advantage of us la the con test of courtesy. IIUMI.A-IIY rillfiADUM'IMA I Philadelphia Is sleepy, and alia glorlos In it. We do not see why sha should not be nl lowed to order the conditions of her Ufa as she pleases. If anybody in Philadelphia is dissatisfied with thoso conditions ho can go elsewhere. There is no law lorolng men to live in Philadelphia. Tho day of cruel and extraordinary punishments is past. No body, therefore, has a right to complain be cause Mayor Filler, voicing the wishes of his fellow townsmen, has declared that the it!ncrantnusiciaii must go. The Philadel phia Timet, we take It, represents tho pre vailing sentiment when it says that it "has viewed with alarm the increasing noise nnd bustle of our modern life, and that it is par ticularly gratifying to be assured that no wandering band or portable mechanism of musio shall hereafter break the stillness of this peaceful city." Mayor Fitler has done many' things for his native city; and even the nation owes him a debt of gratitude for relieving the agony of the Republican Convention in 1888 by making a serio-comic run for the Presi dental nomination. His latest effort re veals in him a love for the sesthetic, as well as the somniferous, the existence of which Philadelphians did not suspect. The extinction of the hurdy-gnrdy and the street band will go a long way toward restoring to Philadelphia her pristine peace and quiet ness. "Very probably, too, this is but the first of a series of reforms of a like nature. We have always thought that to secure a perfectly harmonious existence, visitors to Philadelphia should be compelled to talk in whispers, walk in muffled shoes, and that straw or tan bark should be laid in the streets; that the clappers should bo re moved from the church bells, the whistles from the locomotives, and barks lrom dogs' throats. Theso and other reforms havo ap peared difficult to accomplish until now. Tho Hon. Edwin H. Filler evidently realises that Philadelphia's needs aro his opportunity. It Is n maternal duty to rock tho cradle, perhaps, but as ho hushei liin beloved Philadelphia to sleep, Mayor Fil ler may recall with satisfaction that! 'Tlio hand that rooki tho cradle, Is tho haud that rules the world." li' tho Ninth street bridge li In Any dan per, be It over so remote, It should be closed at on oe.

While sotting headstones over the graves of Custer's men who fell In the massacre of Juno 25, 1670, Captain Sweet's men found three un billed bodies, ono of which still had on trousers of the United States uniform, showing that ho was a private or tbo (Seventh United States cavalry.

A TJUYEiEn who dtayi but a short tlmo In a oountry and visits only a small part of It, is apt to form hasty Impressions and generalize from Insufficient evidence, But if tho Oorfl otes may bo takon as an example, tbo Greeks of to-day may bo said to retain many of tho characteristics of tho ancients, Thoy are fond of talking, easily moved by praise, and cour teous in tbe extreme.

Tbe women are extremely fond of ornamenting their peisons, and the last leptnn, it is said, wilt ba spent fur a trinket to wear Snndays or holi days. Tho upper classes wear, of course, the European dress, bnt among tha middle and lower classes there are many who wear tbe na tional costume, modified as is habitual in each Village by local usace. Constant communica tion with tbo neighboring shores of Epirus brines many Albanians to Corfu, whose strik ing dress, together with that of a mixed popu lation thronging tha streets on a holiday, make up a sight, a, has once been said, as of a mosaic in bright colors. Tho Greek calendar is, as well' known. 12 days behind ours. The fact brought Easter Sundav on April 13. Tbe 6th was, therefore. Palm Sunday. For Corfu it was still more, It was the day on which tho patron saint of tbe island, Salpt bplridion, pno of tho early fathers of tbo church, is exhibited in procession to the people; it was, moreover, the anniversary of tbe Greek Independence. In honor of tho lat ter event wo at 8 a.m. dressed the ship in a rainbow of flues, the Greek national ensign at the main truck, and at noon nred 21 guns. By Invitation ten ofllcors of the fleet were present at tbo exercises in tho Cathedral. a Plctareeqnv Contpinos.

Tha skirts, usually blug in color, hang from tho waist In Innumerable pleats: tho Jackets aro richly ombroldcrod and fastoncd by hugo silver buckles ot curious workmanship; tho bust Is covorcd with fine laco or claborato ombroideryt In tho oars are long pendant oarrlngs; on tho hoad hoavy coils of hair piled high, the masses mado blghor stillby cloths wound turban-like about them, tho colli entwined with pearls or strings ot coins or medals.
