GREER, of Butler. For Congressman-at-Large. MARRIOTT BROSIUS, of Lancaster. National Guard Camp Gronnd. The subject for a fixed place for the annual encampment of the National Guard baa attracted considerable at tention, and the idea meets with great favor. Commissary General Thomas J. Smith has offered to be one of ten persons to subscribe f 1,000 for the purpose of raising a fund to secure this. Many of the officers favor the Idea, and if the next legislature does sot pass a bill making an appropria te for permanent barracks, etc-, the money will be raised by p-ivate sub scription If the state will accept it. Two Opinions on the Canvass, Cooper believes beaver will win, while mcclure is sure of patti on'8 election. New York Herald. "What are your prospects?" Chair man Cooper was asked. "Oh, we'll elect Beaver by 25,000," he replied with great cheerfulness. "The bolt don't amount to anything ' "What does it amount to?" "Fifteen thousand votes possibly twenty thousand." "But that is enough to defeat Beaver on a straight issue." "Perhaps. But Pattison will not begin to poll tho Democrat vote. For Instance, there are 47,000 veterans in the State ; 1,000 of these are Demo crats, and 7,000 of them will vote for Beaver. He has the Grand Army and the National Guard with him. In Cambria County the Grand Army has 1,400 members, of whom 248 are De mocrats. We have made a careful canvass, and all except three of these Democrats will vote for Beaver. Then the labor ticket will carry off 60,000 Democrats." "And how many English and Welsh Republicans?" "Very few. All true Republicans will vote the straight ticket this year." "What of the temperance move ment?" Mr. Cooper was asked. "The temperance people will not poll over 3,000 votes this year. They can support Stewart or PattiHon, Steward is on record in the Legisla ture as a prohibitionist. Pattison is a prohibitionist, too. Goneral Beaver, while he is a temperance man, is not a prohibiWonist." "The Independents say you will yet withdraw Beaver?" "That's nonsense. We will make no further concessions and we will offer no further compromise." "Suppose that they defeat Beaver. Will you surrender the party organ ization to them?" ".but Beaver's defeat is not posable. He can't be beaten." sup- "And if Beaver is elected what will be the fate of these bolting Republi cans?" "The usual fate of renegades and traitors." "But why will they not poll as many votes this year as did Wolfe in 1881?." "Bepause the lection of a Republi can or Democrat then didn't amount to much. It was only a question who would be tbeState bookkeeper. Now it is a question of turning over to the Democrats the entire State adminis tration and prospect of making this a Democrat State. That is a serious matter and any reasoning Republican will not aid iu it. The disappointed race-seekers will stay in. Their fol lowing now will grow less and less as election day approaches. Why, in my county of Delaware Wolfe polled 1,670 votes. We have made a close cauvasfl of twenty-three out of the thirty-nine districts and know that 723 out of those 1670 will vote this year for Beaver." Colonel Alexander McClure was in terviewed with the following result: "Will tho Independents generally persevere in the fight?" "With hardly an exception. This iawbat Mr. Steward called an irre pressible conflict. They make no dis guise of their intention to defeat the Cameron power whatever it costs the party. The Independent candidates, La refusing the Cameron overtures, will reflect the sentiment of their fol lowers. Had there been a compro mise the larger part of their strength would have been merely turned over to Pattison. If there were no Inde pendent ticket in. the field Pattison's election would be placed beyond a doubt." "At what figures do you. place their vote?" "At no less than 100,000." "Then you do not think enough Democratic votes can be taken from Pattison to offset this secession?" "No. You have been told, what is true, that if there Is a probability that Cameron money can buy any great number of Democrats, either for Beaver or Armstrong, there will be a rush of Independent votes for Patti son." Tbe Citizen Soldiery. Philadelphia Press. Three weeks hence Europe, from tho misty capes of the Bay of Biscay to the blue curves of the -flSgean Sea, will be echoing to the tramp of battalions tricked in all the panophy of mimic war. The autumn maneuvers have become a safety valve In certain sort, where ambitious monarchs enjoy the delight of march ing hosts, the clash of arms, without the perils and slaughter encounted ou those sinister plains were Heavy and solem the cloudy column Over the green Holds, marching came, Measureless, spread liken tahle drend For the cold (trim dice of the Iron game. It Is worth while lu the light of the Interest foreign and warlike nations attach to the annual display of their armaments, for the friends of our citizen soldiery to keep the recent en campment of our civic veterans iu mind. What Pennsylvania recruits are capable of doing when the supreme sacrifice comes to the people Is not only a matter of history; it is a mat ter of household romance, family pride and familiar song. Tbe admirable characteristics which made our militia famous In the war mark them still preeminently. They marched to the Lewlstown camp, they took their places inured to the tedium and monotony of mimic war fare with the disciplined steadiness or veterans who not only knew the forti tude necessary in danger, but the patience necessary in preparation. The mauuevers, the action, the en semble of the battalion, from the brigade to the unit, mark a genuine aptitude on the part of the officers and a faithful application upon the part of rank and file, which is an assurance of a fine and spirited soldiery, should the country ever have occasion to put their qualities to tbe test. What a militia may become, the present crisis iu England is a proof. There, within ten days of the Queen's proclamation, the volunteer militia regiments were full to a man. Hundreds whose business or necessi ties kept them away when mere holi day work was demanded, flocked to the flag, eager to show that the teach ings of tbe pant was not ail empty form. It Is not too much to say that Pennsylvania has as fine an army of citizen soldiery as can be put in line in the world. Perfect in drill, admirable in order, alert, quick, in telligent, the destines of the State may be safely confined to them should an emergency arise. If there are errors in the general management of the State Militia, as is claimed by its steadfast admirers, we can look in dulgently on them In view of work so creditable as that which the assembled regiments are unanimously conceded to have done during their recent operations. If fault was to be found with the annual maneuvers, it would be on the score of too limited time and lack of large enterprises, such as foreign troops carry out, real cam paigns in everything but blood-shed, wherein troops march hundreds of miles and have all the vicissitudes of battles, sieges, victory, defeat, advance and retreat. The Bi-Centennial Celebration. At a meeting of the finance Com mittee of the Bi-Centennial Associa tion, held yesterday, the design for the certificates to be given to subscribers to the fund for the purpose of dafray ing the expenses of the grand celebra tion, was adopted. The design is a beautiful one and the certificates will be worthy of being preserved as mementoes of the event. A commit tee was appointed to visit Baltimore on Wednesday to inspect the paraph ernalia of the Baltimore Oriole. They will be the guests of the Balti more Oriole, composed of the Mer chants' and Manufacturers' Associa tion, of which Robert Garrett, vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, is chairman. Al though it is designed to use portions of the material of tbe Oriole in the grand historical and allegorical dis play, yet tbe designs and display will be entirely different lu every respect from those given by the Oriole. The coBt of the tableaux is estimated at from $8,000 to $10,000. General John F. Hartrauft reported that there would be at least 22,000 State troops and members of the Grand Army from this State in the parade. A circular has been prepared and will be for warded to the Governors of the differ ent States inviting troops to visit the city and take part In the military dis play. The State authorities have agreed to furnish transportation for the National Guard, but will not furnish rations. The President's Flag In the Nary. Washington, August 10. Tbe Bureau of Navigation has designed a new flag, to be hereafter known in the navy as the "President's flag. It is 14 feet long by 11 feet broad, tbe material of navy blue bunting. Tbe centre is the American coat of arms the eagle holding In its mouth the pennant, on which Is inscribed "E Pluribus Unum," and perched on a shield, grappling in oue claw bunch of arrows and in tha other bunch of oak leaves. Above the coat of arms, arranged in a semi-circle, are thirteen white stars, representing the thirteeu original States. If the de sign of this flag is adopted, which in all probability it will be, one will be placed on board of each United Stutes vessel, and wbeu the! President goes aboard one of these vessels the Presi deut's flag will fly from the train mast. Care-worn persons, students,, weak and overworked mothers will find in Brown's Iron Bitters a complete tonic, which gives strength aud -tone to the whole system. THE TEAR'S STRIKES. 1 Toe 111 Lnck or the Worklngmen. Pittsburg Telegraph. Strikes are epldemlo nowadays be cause under the existing system of trades unions one strike Is very apt to engender another. There being more or less sympathy among the trades organizations, it is not infrequently the case that the fire lighted by the one extends to the other. The present year has been exceptionally prolific of strikes, and it seems thut the majority of them have not been successful. As a profitable investment for the strikers, the results obtained can give them no cause for congratulation. As a suc cessful and profitably Investment for the strikers, the results thus far oo- tallied can certainly give them no present comfort, and have added little to the hopes of the future. The con dition of the unfortunate striking op eratives and laborers is very much like that of the King of France, who. "with twice ten thousand men marched up the bill, and then marched down again." Taking into consideration the unusually hitch prices for food, rent and the like, the average wages now paid to the work ing classes are, as a rule, entirely in adequate to the comfortable mainte nance of their families. The very important question whether the profits of the employer can afford an increase of wages rarely enters into the consideration of labor agitators, the striking epideinio this year began in the mills of Fall River, Massachu setts, which was Immediately followed by the operatives in the Lawrence Mills. These two great manufactur ing centers having started the ball, Choes, N. Y., and other places of lesser importance, full into line, result ing in about 26,000 mill operatives, men women and childreu, becoming idle consumers and not producers. After being out for nearly six mouths, they nave entirely failed to secure their demands or any concessions whatever, and, after the loss of so much valuable time and earnings, they are forced to resume work just where they left off. Computing the weekly earn ings or pay of the mill operatives at $5 per capita would give tbe weekly earnings of the 25,000 strikers as $150,- 000, equivalent to $600,000 per month In other words, the six months' strike has cost these mill operatives a sum equal to $3,000,000, a very large amount of money indeed. So much for thi mill operatives. The next lu order among thestrikers were the Boston piano makers. But the strike among this class of work men was confined to but three factories. In this instance the strikers were skilled mechanies, a class of men who thought their positions could not readily be filled by inexperienced workmen. Iustead of entailing uny serious losses upon the piauo manu facturers, this abortive strike enabled the manufacturers to make rapid sales, at advanced prices, of all instruments ou hand, by representing that tbe strike would preclude tho further man ufacture of pianos for some time. While the strikers idled away their valuable time and sacrificed wages amounting to over $45,000 per week, or aggregatiug nearly $2,000,800 during tbe continuance of the strike, the piano manufacturers "took on" a number of partially experienced workmen, aud soon instructed them sufficiently to fill the pluces of the strikers, thereby leaving many worthy but misguided worklugmen out in tbe cold. The iron workers of the Pittsburgh district, next fell into line, and "went out" on a strike. Tbe "Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers Association' constituted the largest, best organized and Meal tli I est Labor Union in the United States. With such a powerful organization the iron workers felt sat isfied and confident of victory. In Western cities the strike has proved a failure, the majority of the men being compelled to return to work at former prices after a useless loss of much val uable time and a very large sum of money in the shape of lost wages. Even in Pittsburgh it looks as though tbe strikers could not succeed after the successful starting of such large con cerns as the National Tube Works at McKeesport and the Spang Iron aud Steel Company, which began working to-day with as many men as they re quired. The coal miners and drivers in some of the Pennsylvania mines also tried the experiment of getting up a strike, but with no better result than the other strikers, only a useless loss of time and money without ac complishing any practical good. One of the most important of this season's strikes, because of the obsti uate determination of the strikers and the serious loss and inconvenience entailed upan the mercantile commu uity, was the strike of the freight handlers of New York and Jersey City. These hard working and poorly- paid men excited the sympathy of all classes. The press and the public were with them and their just de mands were seconded by many of the lerding merchants and shippers of New York and elsewhere. So appar ently just was their cause that leading citizens carried the case into the courts by applying for a mandamus to compel the transportation companies to expedite the shipment of goods by reinstating the striking freight-hand lers. at fair rates of compensation, or employing a sufficient number of ca pable laborers competent to handle promptly the enormous quantities of freight which had accumulated at the various depots. After carefully con sideling the question, the Supreme Court of New York decided that the law bad no power to direct a corpora tlou how they should transact their own business. That the law had no more power to compel a corporation to employ any particular number or quantity of employes for tbe transac tion of their business than to lay out a rule ror the management of oue's do mestic affairs. As common carriers the transportation companies were compelled to afford the public reason able facilities for the transaction of business, but the court had no right to decide what particular class of men they should employ nor what remu neration they should pay tbelr em ployes. The court held that while their sympathies were with the strik ers and the merchants, who were suffering loss and Inconvenience through the strike, they had no power to interfere. This long and disastrous strike of the freight-handlers has re sulted the same bs all other strikes. The poor men, after great suffering, and entailing untold miseries upon their families, have been forced to suc cumb to the Inevitable and return to work, when they can get It, at former rates. In the West tbe telegraph operators, class of skilled workmen, whose places one would think It diffi cult to fill, tried the experiment of a strike, believing that as a suspension of their work would entail great In convenience and loss to the mercantile community, the telegraph corporation would be forced Into acceding to their demands. But the result was quite contrary to the expectations of the strikers. The companies would not accede to the demand of the operators, and the strike came to an end almost in its incipiency. Strikes having proved entirely futile in settling the vexed question of com pensation, the operatives and employ ers of certain large corporations nave tried the better experiment of submit ting the disputes between employer and employee to arbitration, but even mis more reasonable mode of proce dure sometimes fails, owing to those stubborn laws of supply and demand. vvnen uie operatives ot uie great. Har mony Mills, at Coboes, IN. Y., pro posed to submit the question of pay to arbitration, Mr. Johnston, the super intendent, very justly replied that ".ISO method of arbitration will in fluence prices in the cloth market." Here is'the whole truth in a nutshell. No method of arbitration will ever in fluence prices in any market. Hence, even arbitration is no remedy for low wages. The laws or supply and de mand make arbitration as well as strikes as ineffective as King Canute's order for the tide to recede, Then, what is the poor man to do when his wages are reduced while the prices or provisions and every neces sury or lite are advanced ? The ques tion may be answered by asking another. Why are meats, provisions ana rood generally so extravagantly dear in a country where the greatest plenty exists, and when the crops are abundant beyond expectation? The answer is monopoly. Between the monopolist and the speculator the price of everything which the poor man requires has, in many instances, enhanced threefold. There is no just or fair reason for beer to be selling in the ttosteru marsets at from 20 to 40 cents per pound, wnen cattle are abunuaut ou tne .Western plains, where it goes begging' at th to o cents per pound Tue same with butter, cheese, eggs and vegetables, and more particularly wiin nour ana brcaustuiis, wuicn are in greut plenty, but command ex orbitant prices iu our markets. The manutacturer, against whom tne laboring man lays all his grievances, is in no way accountable for high prices iu provisions. In point of taut, the only articles which are now cheap, in many instances ridicu lously low, are almost an Kinus ot manufactured goods. Here is a situa tion for the laboring man to think over and determine how he will meet it. SUB-CONTRACTORS. The Line Pieced Out In Small Lots. Contractors Innumerable. WOKK BEING SUB-LET RAPIDLY AND COMMENCEDWILL BEDONE WITHIN THE TIME. (Sprlngville Herald.) Sprlngville has become well known to the railroad world. A host of railroad men have this week paid their respects. The men who build railroads gravitated here from every quarter. They came to see Mr. Craigie, of the firm of Geo. H. Thomp son & Co., who have contracted to com plete the Buffalo Extention of tbe R. & P. R. R. by Nov. 1st. The con tractors propose to sub-let the grading, in lots so small that those who take it can certainly huve the work done easily enough to allow the completion within the time specified. Mr. Craigie had anuounced that he would be in Sprlngville to sub-let the part of the line which is in Cattaraugus county. He was met by scores of contractors anxious to secure a "take" on the line, and in about one day he bad pieced it out in sections of one to two miles iu length, letting it to responsible, relia ble parties who will immediately cover the line with men. These subcontractors are required to have the line graded from Ash ford Junction to the Cattaraugus Creek, within forty-five days. This will enable Messrs. Thompson & Co. to lay tbe track on tbe southern end whereon to bring material for the Cattaraugus Bridge. The Erie County portion will be divided and sub-let within a very few days, aud large gangs of men will be pluced upon every mile section. Oil his way to Springville Mr. Craigie sub let one section, between Colden Village and Glenwood, to Edgar Blakely, who has been foreman of the work done in Colden. It begins at the graded line in Colden and reaches the point where the survey crosses tbe road in Glen wood. Mr. Blakely immediately set men to work on the job, using twenty six teams. Mr. Craigie lias an office in Sprlng ville, over No. 101 Main st., and he will be here constantly, after next Monday, to personally direct the work, with two competent assistants one for each county. Mr. Craigie is gentleman of large experience, well known among the prominent railroad men of our country. Such rapid work of course necessita tes a large Increase In the engineering force. Sprlngville is the general head quarters for all the forces. Here resides Engineer C. E. Botsford, gen eral agent of the company for seeing to rlghl-of-way for the whole line. To the Sprlngville office the various engi neers will report. Mr. H. B. Baylor Is Division Engineer In this county, with F. H. Works General Assistant. Mr. Seaman, one of the most accurate of civil engineers, who had charge of all the mason work of tbe great Kin zua Viaduct will have charge of the engineering for the erection of Cattar augus Bridge, and will also have charge of about a mile of line on each side. E. W. Oviatt will have charge of the Concord Section. Frank Near- Ing, of Elmira, a new comer, has the middle Erie County Section, Colden and West Falls : assisted by Charles H. Webb of Coldwater, Mich, and Mr. Van Babour of Elmira. Engineer Ditto is stationed at East Hamburg in charge of the northern end. Engineer Dox superintends the Cattaraugus Division, having three Section Engineers, Messrs. Wolf koetter, Trimble and Butler. The following parties have taken subcontracts on the Ashford end of the route, betweeu Ashford Junction and the Cattaraugus Creek: Willie & Thompson, Mr. Vanavery, Kenny & Co., Rtirl T. P. Klnsluy Tbaramsln. der of the contracts will be let before Monday, and work will begin the early part of the week. Contractors are now along the line, trying to obtain accommodations for large num bers of teams and men. The work far south is being pushed with great vigor. The southern end, worked by the energetic firm which Superintendent Miller recently joined, will be ready in time for our end. The company saves much work and time by a harmonious arrangement with the Erie, whereby the R. & P. does not build its middle division this year but uses the Erie, track and the great Viaduct over the Kinzua chasm. The Bradford division has been greatly delayed by the slow progress of the bridge companies, caused by the strike at Pittsburg. Our bridge is nearly ready, but the Carrolton and Allegany bridges which were ordered later have lagged discouragingly Temporary crossings have been made by trestling and the road finished to Bradford. A little more strategy was exercised Tuesday night last. The O. B. & W. road, which the R. & P. crosses in Bradford, has tried to make trouble. After submitting to a legal obstruction some time, the R. & P. folks finally loaded a flat car with material and in the night with a loco, motive ran it down to the O. B. & W track aud put in the crossing all right, ran the locomotive over and has laid track through Bradford. The line is graded to Custer about four miles south ot U rail font , and a mile and a half farther, where it switches off to the Erie road by which it runs to Alton, over the 300 ft. high Kinzua bridge and onward to Johnsonburg. The Bradford depot is nearly finished. That tbe R. & P. is an enterprising company is shown by the circulars and bulletins of information which they are issuing. They have lately distributed neat cards containing a map of their different routes, from Rochester to Bradford and Pittsburg, from Buffalo to Ashford, and from East Gainsville to Perry. It Is artis tically gotten up and is illustrated by engravings of the fine depot in Roches ter and of the scenery along the Silver Lake branch of the road. The com pany also issues monthly an excellent eight-page sheet call the "Rochester & Pittsburg official bulletin," 10,000 copies are printed and distributed on trains and along the towns of the line. A fine passenger and freight depot is being built at the Junction of the Perry branch and the main portion of the road. Even the Buffalo Express, on Wednesday, said i "The Rochester and Pittsburg is soon to be a Buffalo roud. and the indications are that in coming here it means business. PERFECTION STOCK TANK.
