Another Trade Union broil ex-

Another Trade Union broil ex-
lists in the Schuylkill region, this
time between the employees of the
Reading Railroad Company and
their employers. The Company,
it seems, decided that its employ
ees should not be members of the
Workingmen's Union, and two
thousand members, who were ask
ed to resign, have resolved not to
comply but to stand by the Union
to a man. The Company was
probably prepared for the strike,
which has already been Inaugural
ted. A prolonged struggle will be
the rusult.

The Secretary of the State has
issued a certificate of corporation
to the Martinsburg & Reading Coal
and Iron Company, the principal
office or place of business to be at
Martinsburg. The corporators are
Jehn s. Hill and Charles S. Hill OF
Reading, Pennsylvania; and Geo.
Wild, Frank A. Burr and +. A.
Thrush, of Martinsburg. The cor
peration is for the purpose of min
ing coal and iron, and the erection
and operation of blast furnaces, the
manufacture of iron in all grades
and of all kinds. This company
represents several wealthy coal
and iron men of Pennsylvania,
who have been looking this way
for investment, and as soon as an
organization is effected, some
effort will be made by which
work will be Immediately COM
menced. Those who own iron ore
will be expected to assist in this
enterprise, and should meet the
company at least half way in it:
efforts to develope our rich re.
sources.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION

The Wheeling Inteligencer of
Monday is very anxious that the
country press should express an
opinion as to the probability of
leaving the Capital at Wheeling
for a term ofyears,so that the peo-
pie of Wheeling may know
how to act in the rental or erection
ola building for the use of the State
officials.
In order to answer this properly,
another question must be asked,
and that is: Did the people OF
Wheeling ask the present Legisla-
ture to do more than to temporari-
ly remove the Capital from
Charleston ? Did they not urge this
temporary location on the ground
of inaccessibility to Charleston ,and
that being true, will its perma-
nent location at Wheeling remove
the ice from the Ohio river, so as
to permit the people of the Kama
wha Valley to reach the Capital at
all times I? The Capital at Charles
ton made the peoples representa-
tives pass around Martinsburg to
get there, and the Capital at Vince
ling will make the people of the
Kanawha Valley pass around Mar
tinsburg to get to Wheeling. So
this argument Of accessibility nee
essarily applies to both places, and
for the people of Wheeling to de-
mand that the location be perma-
nent at their city, is inconsistent
with the argument they have used
for temporary removal. We are
amsng those who believe this ques.
tion should be gotten out of legis-
lation,j but we want it settled SO
all can be made travel An equal
distance. We also believe that this
idea the people of some towns
have of beggaring the people to
supply the State with buildings, is
a humbug. The right plan is to
make a proper location and appro.
pirate sufficient funds to erect
buildings, to be owned by the
State, and at the end of four or five
yeras. when all accommodation:
are ready,to remove the paraphar.
MALTA of government from its tenn.
porary to its permanent location.

The st. Louis Republican, for
merly the leading Dem ocratic or
gan in the west, but now an indie
pendent journal, thus defines party
politics:
'The republicans have as many
vices as they can possibly afford to
be responsible for, and the demo-
Gratis have as few virtues as they
can base a claim to popular favor
on. One party is known to be bad
and the other is suspected to be moi
good. The chief capital stock OF
either is the actual or suspected
faults of the other"

The New York gold speculation
ton combination has not yet
been broken, but it is thought
to be dangerous for them to carry
the price much higher, as the hol-
ders of the called bonds at the
treasury, might sell them at once
instead of waiting the end of the
three months allotted by the call.
This woulds throw thirty millions
ofgold on the market, which is too
much for the combination to shoul
der.

WINTER IN ITALY.

A correspondent addresses the Tribune,
and gives warning to invalids about 60
ing to Italy, as follows:
Is it because the medical men of Amer
lea do not know what kind of a climate
we have in Italy that invalids come here
in winter for the benefit of their health
The rainy season of Italy is in the winter
month, and an old resident assures me that
sometimes they have 60 rainy days in Flor
ence during the season. In cities whose
streets are narrow and buildings lofty, q
rainy day brings wet and chilly streets for
several days aiterward.
On the l4th of November last, l rode
into Bolona in as thick a snow-stOrm as !
ever saw in New England. This was to
me the winding up OF three days N. E.
rain-sto in Venice. have been in Flor
ence since the 18th of that month. We
had so many rainy and cloudy days in
December that began to take note of the
weather with the beginning OF the new
year. In January we had only Il bright
sunny days; in February, 16, and in
the first nine days of March, 2. On the
the 25th of February we had heavy fall
of snow which was carted from the streets
the next day. In that month the ice in
the still water of the Arno, just above one
of the bridges, was four inches thick.
February was a cold month. All winter
long the winds has been north-easterly.
| coming to US over the snow-clad heights
of Apcnnines. Any one who has had ex-
perience in Italian cities knows that pass.
ing from bright sunshine into narrow,
shady streets is like going into an ice
house on 4 hot summer day. | cannot
conceive of a more trying climate for an
invalid than this of Italy. If medical
man of New York should send patient
to Boston TO spend the month of March,
he would be regarded as insane; but an
average March in that city is more favor
able to an invalid than our last January in
Florence was.
The weather dr~iEg tho last winter in
Vienna, Milan, Rome and Naples has been
as unfriendly to the invalid as it has been
in this city. Indeed, there is no place in
Europe that is d suitable winter resort for
invalids, and whoever crosses the Atlantic
in quest of such q resort makes grave
mistake. If any of the readers of the Tri-
bune are interested in this question, let
them read those books of travel written
by English people who have passed the
winter in Italy, and they will find only
one voice on this subject. Even DIR. Ben
nett. while he condemns all other places
except Mentone. has to admit that his IA
vorite resort has winter in it, and that it
must be approached by the invalid eau
tiously and be left in like manner. am
inclined to think that Americans have a
false impression as to the climate Of ''sun-
ny Italy," and If this brief notes act as a
caution to any suffering invalid who is
proposing to try the climate: my object
will be accomplished.

WHILE our city was enjoying al
most a continual sunshine on Fri
day, the town of Kendall was wit
Messing a terrible storm. A thick,
dark cloud arose that poured forth
torrents, and filled the air with
thunder. Almost instantly the hol-
lows and ravines were filled with
water that swept fences and bridges
before it. Fields also suffered con-
siderable damage by being washed,
and where corn had been planted,
large quantities of the seed were
swept in the hollows.
