COMING EVENTS.


<sFiye thousand men out OF work in Pittsburg.
Such is the paragraph which is now treadina
IFS way through the daily aud weekly press
throughout the country. Five thousand
mere item in the whole account, Why, there
are ten times FIVE thousand out of work in
New York, and as things are now going there
will be double that number before many
months LOngbefore the reconstructed South,
the new South that is to be represented by ruff
fans and renegades like Hamilton and Hunni-
cut, that is afflicted and badgered by such po-
litical mOuntebanks as Wilson and his gang OF
Radical harpies, his speckled miscegens-lOng
before the new South is representedin Congress
by such scum-and if she is TO be represented
at all, it will be by such and none other as long
as Radicals reign there-iong before that event
takes place, this North OF ours VIII need recon-
structing There viii be hundreds OF thou
sands who will not want representation but
homes, roofs to shelter them and their helpless,
destitute wives and little ones, who will de-
mand at the hands of the wealthy that surplus
to which in times of famine they have as clear
a right as they have to the light of day, or to
the air they breathe.
We tell the men who are at this devils work,
that there are even now signs and Omens which
they had better heed, and which, if they fail to
interpret, will make their doom all the more
swift and certain Their are rocks ahead, per-
lis that they are either too blind to Sec or that
seeing they will not avoid. There is starvation
ahead, there is bankruptcy. individual and ma
tional bankruptey-it is coming as sure as
Wilson is the enemy of Heayen and the instru-
ment of Hell--it is coming as sure as Stevens
is the agent of Satan-as sure as Phillips is
hrs m0uthpiece.
Five thousand out of work in Pittsburg.
What of that-a mere trifle. Wait till the fac
tories that still drag on at halftime are silent
wait till the noise of the loom and the clangOr
of the anvil are heard no more, and the STILL
ness as well as the REestration Of the grave
reigns in, the Oace busy haunts of industry
Yes, it will be hundreds of thousands-millions
What means the steady overflow from the
savings banks Of the hard earnings of the la
borer and the mechanic? What means the
increased attendance at the pawnshOps? What
means the painfully frequent calls upon chart
table societiesg Itmeans that unless the Rad
icals reconstruct the North through military
rule unless they divide it into districts and cut
down the voting force, they will be swept away
by the coming flood.
Yes, feloW-citizens of the North, the day of |
restitution. is dawning, the day of hunger and /
want, the day of soup-kitchens and tardy char
ity, the day when you shall have pledged all
put the clOtheS upon your backs, and you shall
be forced into the streets, not to beg for bread,
but to demand it. The five thousand in Pitts
burg is but the advance of the grand army
which is even now mastering in the great cities
of the North Let military satnaps 90 on with
the work of reconstruction, let them receive
the fawning adulation of the men whom they
despise while they accept their homage, let
them hurry up their job of reconstruction in
the South-they may be wanted here before
long, for we strongly suspect that when Con-
gress next meets it will have somewhat differ
ent business to transact. With a daily inter-
nal revenue less than half what will be
wanted, the wheels of government are likely to /
get out of order, and with the FIVE thousand out
Of work grown to more than five hundred
thousand, we can't get along without military
districts. If Congress don't hurry up with the
reconstruction ofthe North, General Stagna
ton will soon be reinforced by General Star
walton, and there will be trouble. These are
startling warnings, but we would advise all
concerned to be prepared to see them one day
become verified predictions, as they are sure
tobe. unless Providence has pity onour condi-
tion.--N y Metropolitan Record.
