THE LOCHIEL STRIKE.

The Largest Iron Works I'm Pennsylvania
Idlc-Cause of the cStrike-Resolutions of
the Labor Union.
The strike at the Lochiel Iron Works still
continues, and about 800 men are thrown out of
employment and remain in ideness. The Presi-
dent of the company publishes a card in which
he explains the difficulty. From his version it
appears that six heats we're required daily, ex-
cept Saturday, when only five constituted a
days work. After the third heat last Saturday
the heater first in turn refused TO enter upon his
duty, and was discharged by the company. The
employees demanded his reinstatement, which
was refused and being members of the Labor
Union, strike was ordered and carried out.
The company also allege that the advance of
pg-iron. caused by the present suspension in
the coal region, without compensating advance
of rails, has induced them to close the works
for at least two months. The strike fastened
the suspension, which has been under considera-
tion for some time past, and was only delayed
out of regard to the workingmen, who will eX-
perience the greatest loss and suffering by the
unfortunate condition of affairs. The following
resolutions were adopted at a meeting of the
Labor Union No. 6, held last evening"
Whereas In the recent struggle between labor and
capital (the Laborers' Union representing the one,
and the railroad monopolies representing the other)
that has taken place in our State Legislature Gov
ernor Geary and some OF our Senators and Repre-
sentatives have shown themselves the firm friends
of the worktngm-n therefore be 1t
ResOlUed, That the Laborers' Union No. 6, OF Har-
rsburg, III behalf or all the wOrkngmen or this city
and Vicinity return to Governor Geary our most
heartfelt tDanRs for the noble manner in which he
has stood by our interests for the wise counsel he
has given representatives. and the measures
he mas been mainly instrumental in instituting
against the oppression OF the worGtngmen OF this
State.
Resolved That we return to the Senators and Re-
presentat1yeS who have stood bv US in this great
struggle our most sincere and heartfelt thanks,
knowing that an approving conscience and the con-
hdence and esteem OF their constituents will be
their reward and deserve the eDcomium OF "Well
done. good and faithful servants"
ReSolUed, That we most urgently request Governor
Geary and those associated with him not to relax
their efforts until the laws Of this Commonwealth
are faithfully enforced and the punishment due our
oppressors is meted to them.

ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE BLOW AT
PHILADELPHIA

THIS city has again been victimized by legis-
lation at the State Capitol, or rather the want
of it. In the State Senate bill was recently
reported, providing for the transfer of the
proceeds arising from licenses granted to
tavern keepers, brewers, etc., from the State
Treasury to the various local county and city
treasures; but this wise and just provision
was stricken from the bill, and in total disre-
gard of the custom prevailing elsewhere, the
magnanimous Commonwealth continues to
take all the sums derived from tavern
licenses, while it leaves the tax-burdened
city to pay the cost of maintaining the police
force and supporting the inmates of the County
Prison and the Almshouse A similar ques-
tion also came up in the lower branch of the
Legislature recently, when the House of Cor
rection bill was under consideration. 1t con-
tanned provision imposing for the support
of that institution an additional tax of $50 on
all amusenen ent and liquor licenses granted in
Philadelphia. This portion of the bill was
bitterly opposed, however, by some of the
members from this city; and after their oppo-
sition to the clause in question proved unsuc-
cessful, they revenged themselves by defeat
lnB INC euIlro medSuIe, dltuOuBn IL GHu pre-
viously been approved, and asked for as
necessity, by the commissioners for building
the House of Correction and by City Coun-
ellis. The virtuous Sam Josephs led the raid
against the increased tax on taverns,
but he seems to have been
supported by all the members from this city
except Messrs. Dumbell, Griffiths, johnson,
Miller, and Smith; and the practical result
of the late legislation in the Senate and
House is not only to postpone the successful
operation of the House of Correction, but to
totally deprive the city treasury of a source
of revenue from which, under proper sys-
tenn, there should be derived enough money
to support the Almshouse, County Prison, and
House of Correction. The nation and the State
will continue to replenish their Golfers from
the tax on liquors and the licenses for selling
liquor, while the city must continue to sup
port thousands of those who are made paupers
and criminals by the liquor traffic, without
deriving penny from this source, or receiv-
ing particle of pecuniary assistance from
the National or State treasury. OF all the
anomalies of legislation growing out of our
complex system of government, this is the
most unjust; and if the bulk of the Legislators
we send to Harrisburg cared a farthing for
the city interests, and had faint concep-
tion of their true duties, such an unequal and
oppressive method of distributing burdens
and revenues would speedily be abolished.

sF THE EVENING TELEGRAPH from its original
establishment, has been in the receipt OF telegra-
phic from the New YORK Associated Press
which consists OF the Tribune, Times Herald,
World, Sua, Journal Of Commerce, EUening Post,
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Express. The
success which has attended our enterprise is, in
ITSELF sufficient evidence OF the freshness, full
ness, and reliability OF the news which we have
received from this source In March, 1S70 we
entered into a special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the exclusive use OF the
news furnished in the afternoon by the Associated
Press to its own members. the North American, In

annoyance caused at present owing to the
expectations Of ticket purchasers with regard
to their right to seats not being realized. In all
the regular theatres the orchestra or parquet
seats are reserved for the holders of checks,
and their price is well known, so that there is
never any difficulty with regard to them.
The orchestra circle or psrquet circle is open
to the public at a stated price, with an
extra charge for reserved seats, and
this arrangement is one of the principal
sources of trouble and annoyance. Several
rows of seats are usually marked as ''taken,"
and those who do not hold checks have to
seat themselves in the back rows. AS it not
unfrequently happens that many of the seats
marked ''taken" are not occupied, the pur-
chasers of simple admission tickets who
imagine themselves entitled to the best places
they can find that have not been secured in
advance by other parties are dissatisfied, and
imagine themselves unfairly dealt with and
it occasionally happens that some sturdy indi-
vidual takes possession of choice place and
refuses to remove from it until threatened
with arrest. All this difficulty and annoyance
could easily be avoided if every visitor to a
theatre were presented with check desig-
mating the seat to be occupied for the even
ing. Or it would perhaps be equally
satisfactory if the tickets for the
orchestra or parquet seats were sold
with checks, and the other parts of the house
thrown open to those who pay a simple adj
mission fee. At any rate, there should be one
established price and one established rule for
each division of the house, SO that it would
be impossible for the most thick headed visi-
tor to be under an erroneous impression
about the extent of the privileges he pays
for. At the Academy of Music all the seats
in the parquet, parquet circle, and dress
circle are checked, and the arrangement works
so well there, and saves so many unpleasant
controversies, that some similar plan should
be adopted at all respectable places of amuse-
ment.

RESER VED SEATS.

A CASE was tried yesterday in the Court of
Common Pleas, before Judge Ludlow, which
involved a question of fair dealing between
the managers of place of amusement and
the public, and the statements of the case
made respectively by the plaintiff and the
defendants suggest the necessity for some
more satisfactory system with regard to re-
served seats than exists at present in any of
our theatres or minstrel halls, except the
Academy of Music. 1t seems that gentle
man purchased three tickets for perform
ance at one of the minstrel halls, which were
accompanied by checks emitting the holders
to seats if any were unoccupied. They were
not the regular reserved-seat checks, but were
sold under certain conditions which it is
doubtful whether one purchaser out of hun
dred would fully understand, and the party
holding them being unable to find seats left the
house, and the next day demanded reparation
at the box Office. compromise was offered
which was not satisfactory, and the case was
carried into court, where the jury gave YER
dict for the plaintiff, upon the principle, we
suppose. that the managers had no right to
make such an ambiguous bargain with their
guests, and that those who purchased coupon
tickets were entitled to seats under any con-
ditions. The moral of this affair is that there
should be more fair dealing at all the places
of amusement with regard to seating the
audience, for there is an infinite amount of

The Government of New South Wales,
one of the British dependencies, turns deaf
ear to the free-trade teachings of the political
economists who write in the interest of the
British manufacturers. 1t has recently pro-
posed an increase of the duties on nearly all
imported articles heretofore taxed, and an
imposition of duties on some articles which
have hitherto been on the free list.
Thus John Bulls own colonies repudiate his
modern theories and like all wise and pro-
gressive countries, seek prosperity in pro-
lection. They understand the tricks of the
drummers for British trade too we'll to be
humbugged by them when they put on the
robes of free-trade philosophers.

THE situation in and about Paris continues
unchanged, although there are indications
that the Communists will shortly come to
terms of some sort with the Versailles Gov
ernment. In the meantime they are perpe-
trating acts of vandalism so utterly disgrace
full that they put TO shame those who censured
the Germans for besiegipg and bombsrding
Paris because it was the "eye of civilization
The Communists have sacked several of the
churches, including the Cathedral of Notre
Dame, and now they have determined to de-
molish the famous column in the Place Ven-
dome, on the ground that it is barbarous
monument, symbol of brute force and false
glory, and negation of fraternity. A II of
these reasons are so absolutely correct that if
the Comm unists of Paris were anything else
than what they are, the world might look with
satisfaction upon the demolition of monu-
ment which more than any other
in Paris has ministered to the
false love of glory which was one of the in
spring causes of the disastrous war that has
just been concluded. The destruction of his
terical monuments and national works Of art,
however, by sudden freak of an infu-
rated mob of Partisan Red Republicans is
something that must be deplored by all right
thinking persons and unless the Versailles
Government speedily gets possession of Paris,
the whole French people will learn to regret
that the Germans did not hold the city until
government strong enough to maintain its
authority was ready to take possession of it.
Not the least of the crimes of the first French
revolution was the demolition of national
monuments of the highest interest and
value, and the individuals who are
now endeavoring to inaugurate a new
Reign of Terror appear to be anxious to emu
late their illustrious predecessors in this as in
other particulars. The evident desire of the
Germans to injure Paris as little as possible
is certainly favorable contrast to the per-
formanoes of the Frenchmen who now hold
possession of the unhappy city; and if the
present condition of affairs continues much
longer, it will be no wonder if the very name
of republic is held in adherence by vast
majority of the French people.

Fish Culture at the West.
RIVER FALLS, Wis, May %.


Editor Rutland Herald M:-Fish-cultur
in Vermont is quite an experiment as yet,
and the natural opportunities are very
great for the business on the mountain
streams. A few days sinceI visited the
only fish pond in this vicinity which is
being conducted with view to profit.
1t is located on one of the branches of the
Hinmickinmick. tributary to the st.
Croix river. Here is noble spring, how
ever, very rare thing, that supplies the
water for the small fry, and others that
are kept under cover. Here must be
nearly a thousand dollars invested in
buildings, ditching and dsming. One
man at least gives his whole time TO the
work. Two buildings are erected, one
for the use of the pretty stock, and one
for the use of the keeper. The fish are
brook trout taken from the river, and
some of them are twenty inches or more
in length, and excite the cupidity Of any
fisherman who looks upon them, and,
may add, of any fisherwomsn, for ladies
do not despise that noble art in Wiscon.
sin. I saw about five hundred in an enc
closure, less than twenty feet square, and
their average weight would be more than
pound apiece. The small once, called
yearlings, are kept in a separate apart
ment, and fed on curd and the white of
boiled egg. The large ones eat beef.
There is no prettfcr sight than to look
on the large trout as the sun shines
brightly upon them, showing their bril-
liant colors to good advantage. 1t this
succeeds as financial matter, it will uu-
doubtedly be followed by other works OF
this kind, as there are some opportunities
for fsb-culture among the mounds which
abound in this region not found on the
level prairies. The proprietors, Edward
Levings & Co.. certainly have succeeded
in making an attractive place for pleasure
seekers, if nothing more.
