fitting sequel to the story Of Latrobe's

Now we contend that there would have
been eminent propriety in the Republi-
cans of Ohio nominating this gentle

him up is to presume one of two things,
either that Mr. Bishop will compromise
his temperance principles for the sake of
success, or that the thirsty Democracy
will forsake their cups. For the latter

If he possess one-half the virtue his
admirers claim for him, his defeat is
certain on this issue alone, to say moth

IT is to be feared that the strikers
who were advised to look to the Ohio
Democratic Convention "for consola-
ton" will find the resolutions of that
body very unsatisfactory reading. They
condemn subsidies, including, of course
the proposed aid to the Texas-Pacific
scheme, and they lay the blame of" the
destruction of the industry of the coun-
try and the pauperizing of labor " at the
door of the vicious laws enacted by
the Republican Party" If this latter
reference means anything at all, it must
be directed against the protectionst leg.

THE STRIKE.

The news from the strike has been
like the weather during the last week
rather variable On Monday, we were
led to believe. that 1.-THE strike, not
its existence; but like some other things,
whose departure no good citizen would
regret, it seems to be very tenacious of
life and to enjoy charmed existence.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad ran
freight cars to keyser, on Saturday
last, at which place they were stopped
by the strikers. Eice-President keyser
arrived there on Sunday night, and a
meeting of the strikers was held and a
large majority of them promised to go
to work on Monday morning Mr. K
thereupon telegraphed Mr.. Garrett that
the road was open from the Chesapeake
to the Ohio, and the strike appeared to
have suddenly collapsed there and
everywhere else
The hopeful condition of affairs did
not last long The strikers at Keyser
reconsidered the matter, and concluded
to hold out while longer, being actu-
ated by the belief that owing to the
heavy grades and peculiar construction
of the road beyond Keyser, the Com
pany could not readily supply their
places with others competent to run
the trains.
Monday was spent in parlying with
them, and number of them and other
idle and evil-disposed persons boarded
q train for the purpose Of getting free
ride to another point on the road.
They were promptly arrested by the
military, which aroused the Indignation
of their comrades, who, it is alleged,
misplaced a switch which threw Il
special train off the track and seriously
injured soldier.
Matters elsewhere seemed to be i'm
proving on Tuesday, and on Wednesday
the dailies announced the strike as
pretty well over The strikers pretty
generally went to work at the reduced
wages, having in some cases obtained
tril1ing concessions that might have
been had by asking, without the loss of
a single days work.
The rioters and strikers made trouble
upon the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne &
Chicago railroad, and the Lehigh Val
ley railroad, and at some other places
in Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday, one hundred workmen
were discharged from the New York
Central railroad shops, at West Albany,
for having participated in the strike

On Wednesday, things were less hope
full than they had been for few days
before, and the scene of the riot and
strike appeared to have been transferred
to Lucerne county, Pa. In Scranton, a
collision occurred between the rioters
and militia, when four of the former
were Killed and several wounded
The indications are, as we go to press
on Friday, that railroad transportation
has been resumed on all the lines affected
by the strike except in the Pennsylvania

ONE LESSON OF THE STRIKES.
rotary Evarts said but few days ago that
if we want to sell we must buy. The laws
and treaties affecting foreign commerce
must be changed, so as to allow us to ex-
change our products for others. In this
the railroad companies and their people
have common interest, and the managers
of these companies are to blame that they
have not forseen trouble and averting it,
by showing their workmen where lies the
true remedy for the general depression,
and leading them to demand needed changes
The country is not really poor. 1t is suf
ferlng because it has too great abundance.
One of the oommuuistio speakers said last
night that the great increase of labor saw
ing machinery had not improved, as it
ought, the condition of the workmeu. He
was perfectly right. But the workmen are
themselves largely to blame for this
They have tolerated a total neglect of
foreign commerce, and in the course of
time the country has come to point where
it can manufacture more-not much more,
but yet more-Jhan it can consume
The surplus weighs like lead on every
branch of industry; il depTeSses prices and
disables manufacturers, who find the home
market overstocked by nine months work
in the year, and are prevented by blunder-
ing laws from selling the surplus abroad.
Suppose our wheat farmers could not sell
their surplus in Europe. They would be
utterly ruined, no matter how great their
crops were. But that is precisely the con
dition Of our manufactures, and all inter
ests suffer with them--the railroads. of
course, chief of all. The workingman can
esily and quickly cnange all that but not
by striking. Let them demand that Con
gress shall free foreign trade from some of
its shackles and they will see new pros
perity rapidly springing up and labor in
demand everywhere. We must sell our
surplus. York Herald

IT is evident enough the Turks are
giving the Russians plenty of hard
work to do in fighting their way towards
Constantinople, but beyond that fact
we can hardly pretend to deduce much
positive information from the news that
comes across the ocean of the war move
ments. The correspondents do not
know great deal, and they are not
even permitted to tell all that they do
know, while to the difficulties of report
ing placed in their way by the censors
there is added the trouble of obtaining
news from the far-otf regions in which
the fighting is being done The closing
in of the Turks upon the right and left
wings of the Russians advance I'M
doubtedly means serious business and
the battles that have been fought be-
tween the Danube and the Balkans
were probably engagements of the heav-
lest sort. But it is q significant cir
cumstance that so far the Russians
have not lost any of the ground they
have gained and that is equivalent to
saying that they have made the most
OF the campaign up to now.

THE Ohio Democrats have uniformity
embodied the most vicious impulse of
our politics. In 1868 they followed
Vallandigham's reasonable crusade
against the war and the government.
In 1861 they raised the demagogue cry
against the bondholders. The next
year they were for Pendleton and re-
pudiation. Through the succeeding con-
tests they invariably denounced the
national banks and the general pu bile
obligations. In 1875 they roared for
Bill Allen and imitation. In 1876 thew
declared against resumption. To re-
pudiate the pledge to pay the debt in
coin; to violate the public faith; to
wipe out the national bank currency
and have no money but greenbacks !;
to enter then upon wild career of in
flated paper; to oppose resumption and
every step towards it-these have been
the shibboleths of the Ohio Democracy.
