ST. Nicholas.

1t is capital Midsummer Holiday
number-a feature in children's maga-
zines, which st. Nicholas was the first
to bring out. Specially adapted to the
wants and lodgings that prevail in
summer weather. it is full to the brim
of refreshment and interest, and spark
les like cool water from deep well.
Henry w. LOngiellow, the foremost of
American poets, has in this number a
poem Of " hich the form and spirit are
alike admirable, and appropriate for
st. Nicholas. Charles Dudley Warner
contributes Johns FIRST party story
Of country life. Celia Thaxter is repre-.
sented by some wonderfully sweet and
melodious verses, entitled Robins
Rain-Song,' Sarah Winter Kellogg tells
about the 'Swooping Eagles First
Exploit in manner irresistibly caph-
waiting to the spirit of boy. One Of
the features the youngsters will like
most is Mr.. Frank r. Stockton's de-
lightful account of a visit to A Village
of Wild Beasts 'Mr. Tompkin'
Small Story by Abby Morton Diaz,
appears, as promised. Prof. w. K.
Brooks of Johns Hopkins University,
gives a peep at the birds and their
ways of building nests, and Prof. Rich
ard A. Proctor, besides his usual Star
paper, expresses, in the Letter Box
department his views upon the Sea-
Serpent. Mr.. Trowbrldge's serial
story, His Own Master,' enters upon q
most interesting stage.
This Midsummer Holiday number is
jHst the thing to amuse the youngsters
during moments of rest In the cool
shade, and charm them with it's Hsic-
lures Of summer fun and beauty.

ed by the protracted blockade Of the great ar
teries of internal communication. Upon a
moderate estimate, giving to each man of
these various classes an average of four per-
sons dependent upon him, we have grand
total of at least g. ,000, 900 persons in the nine
States mentioned whose bread is interfered
with every day that this strike lasts, in order
to accomplish the purpose not even of s., 534
railway euployees-for the strike in the
nine States mentioned is by no means even
general, unless, perhaps, in West Virginia
but of really less than half that number. To
sum the case up plainly, then, the interest OF
the respectable laOoring classes of the nine
States now invaded by the railway strike in
seeing it ended is to the interest Of the railway
men who are actually engaged in the strike in
keeping it up as are 3,000,0 ,00e persons TO A,
262 or giving four dependents to each 'stri-
kerr to 221, ,3l0 persons. If this is not sacri
cling the community to class, what can de-
serve to be so described?

The Strikers and the Labering
Glasses.

The New York World makes strong point
and brings it very forcibly home to the atten
ton of the classes most concerned when it
calls the attention of the strikers to the con-
fusion and incalculable loss which they are
active in inficting upon people en-
gagged in all sorts of occupations. 1t is worth
while, the World says, to consider how large
a proportion of the laboring force of the coun-
try is represented by this element which, act
ing solely in its own interest, is exposing all
the rest of the laboring force of the country
to daily and hourly loss and inconvenience.
By the census of 1870 the employees of all the
railways in the country, exclusive of clerks
and officials, numbered 154, ,027 men. In the
nine States which have so far been more or
less affected by the pending strikes they
numbered 1874. These are the States of
Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana and
Missouri. The day la5orers in these nine
States then amounted to 568, Ala men. If we
add to the day laborers the canalmen, the
draymen and the laborers employed In the
various trades, We find this number swelled to
654,s 1895. If, therefore, all the railway en-
ployes in the nine States mentioned were now
out on STRIKE every single man of them
would be inficting troubles and losses upon
nearly eight other workingmen as respectable
as himself in order to accomplish purpose of
his own. And this without taking into ac-
count skilled artisans and mechanics, men
employed in abatoirs and by express and
steamboat companies, stevedores and others
connected with the sapping interests, all of
whom are necessarily and unfavorably affect

The War OH the Workingmen.

nC !" stE Vh tHC "OEAlhS lucus
The proofs accumulate that this is war of
tramps, roughs, idlers, and vagabonds on the
workingmen. These are they that stop trains,
and drive the railroad men from them, and
that are now threatening our city with fire.
Nor are they many. Their operations and the
general excitement gather crowd about
them, but everywhere they are few, and they
are persons that nobody knows as railroad
men or workIngmen, or even as residents.
Our workingmen are weakly submitting to be
driven from work and means of subsistence
by small gang of tramps and thieves, when
they have abundant power to defend them
selves
From all quarters where violence has been
done comes the same account that the vio-
lent element is not composed of railroad stri-
kers, nor of labo.ers of any sort. These are
the victims. They submit to be driven from
their work by their worst enemies, and they
stand idly by, giving countenance to the
roughs, and hindering the police from dealing
with them, when by a little organization and
bold front the workingmen eoull protect
themselves. And while they feebly stand by,
the trairips and thieves, that they in effect
protect, are only waiting some special con-
fiict or excitement to begin the work of fire
and pillage.
The workingmen have their rights in their
own hands. They have allowed a few vaga-
bonds to master them. They have the power
to combine and to restore order, land to resume
work in this city in a few hours. They will
be ashamed of their incapacity when they
come to reflect how they surrendered to such
masters. Their right and livelihood are in
their own hands. There is to be no force
used to make them work. The only force
used is that which drove them from work.
They can free themselves as soon as they
muster up sense and manhood, and organize
in self defense. Until they do this they will
remain in the power of a lot of vagabonds of
not one-tenth the number of the workingmen
whom they domineer over.-Cin. Gazette.

office. In the brief space nf thirty years
he has succeeded in getting the Democrati;

He is the present Depury Clerk. He entered
the army atthe age of sixteen, served in the
peninsular campaign under Mcclellan, and
was wounded twice-at the battles of Antie-
tam and Fredericksburgh. Socially, he is
rather gilt-edged, and was 'whooped up by
the young Democracy of Franklin, which pos
sibly erved to shut the eyes Of the delegates
to the fact that they were in reality giving a
second nomination, on the same day, to Cleve-

THURSDAY. AUGUST 2, 1877.
Democratic Nominees.

The Ohio State Jouenal of Thursday, has
the following in reference to some of the
candidates nominated by the recent Demo
cratic Convention at Columbus:
PILLARS,
Nominated for Attorney General on Wedes-
day, ran off after Tom Cunninghams Allen
county movement in 1873. He was even
more radical in the diversion than Ewing, who
has since been frequently and soundly abused
for declaring that the Democratic party had
outlived its usefulness. Pillars, penitent.
nestles sweetly on the bosom of Lis Bourbon
mother.
GEN. JABEZ w. FITCH,
Whom the Democrats nominated for Lieut.
Governor, is a Clevelander by birth, and is
about fifty years of age. He is lawyer by
profession, but retired from the bar several
years ago, having plenty of means. He was
United States Marshal for Ohio during Presi-
dent Pierce's administration He is recon-
mended by his friends as 'life-long Demo-
crat, which is enough to know about Mr.
Fitch. Half century of uninterrupted,
straight out Democracy will circumscribe his
availability.
JUDGE JOHN w. OKEY,
Who was nominated by the Democrats on
Wednesday for Judge of the Supreme Court,
is about fifty years cid. He WAS formerly
Probate Judge of Monroe county, and was
twice elected Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas. in the Eighth Judicial district He re-
signed before the completion of his second
term as Ju ge, and became associated with
Milton Saylor in the practice of law in Cincin-
natl, practicing extensively in the State and
Federal Courts. He was one of the authors
of Gholson Okey's digest. He was appointed
by Gov. Allen a member of the Codifying
Commission, and is now engaged with his as
sociates in the revision and codification of the
laws
