SEQUEL TO THE MCCULLOUGH ROBBERY
ONE OF THE GUILTY PARTIES BROUGHT
TO THIS CITY.
Our readers will remember the robbery ol
Peter Mccullough g. Co.'s shoe factory al
Fifth and Walnut streets, on the night Of
April the 10Th, by which nearly 81 SOC
worth of goods were taken.
The case was at once put in the hands ,ol
Pinkerton's Detective Agency, of Philadel-
phis, who have at last brought the guilty
parties to justice.
A man named Baum, who does business
in the upper of Seventh street, Washington,
D. G who had much of the stolen goods
in his possession, was arrested. Informa-
tion given by this person, lead to the arrest
in Philadelphia, of William Fisher, of this
city, who is a plaster by trade, ard who, it
appears, was one of the principal parties In
the robbery. Fisher was brought down
from Philadelphia yesterday evening on a
requisition by Governor Cochran, and 10
now confined in the Police Station awaiting
hearing. Fisher is young man, and has
hitherto borne good reputation.
Some Of the other parties concerned have
been arrested in Philadelphia, among whom
are two young men, Darrah and Moore, and
number outside of the city will be arrested
to-day, if they were not last night. Several
parties supposed TO be connected with the
affair are in Chester, and yesterday morn
ing Chief of Police O'Toole and Clarence j +.
Mccullough went to that place to make
arrangements for their arrest Last night
Mr.. 2, Mccullough went to the same place,
and it is thought that the suspected parties
are in custody by this time. 1t is believed
that nearly ali of the stolen goods will be
recovered,

THE DEMANDS OF INDUSTRY,

There is, beyond doubt, a very great
amount of suffering and distress among the
working masses of the country, and there
seems to be no reasonable hope of an i'm
provement until there is a complete and
radical adjustment of the industrial affairs
of the republic. We very clearly showed
few days ago in the HERALD that little
square good sense manifested in Congress
would speedily give employment to myriads
of our workers. The South American and
Cuba trade carries away from us iu gold
annually sum almost equal to the interest
upon our national debt
A decent subsidy to liue of steamships
to Brazil, and other Southern countries,
with increased facilities with Mexico, would
stop this great drain upon us and its conse-
quent exhaustion and idleness. The South
American trade, if equalized, would give
employment to 10000 men at $l5O per
day for three hundred days in the year. Yet
in the face of this showing, Senators and
Congressman too ford of the right to follow
| the expedient, refuse to do such sensible
| thing as to grant a subsidy to foreign lines
of steamships. France, the great teacher
of commercial and industrial philosophy,
subsidies lines of steamships to Genoa,
Smyrna, Alexandria, London, Lisbon, Cadiz,
New York, Cochin China, PondicheEy,
Buenos Ayres, Cape Town, Manila and the
West Indies. Her marine messengers are
ever ready to carry the products of hel
people to every region of the globe, hence
her prosperity.
It is vain to look for improvement in the
times unless there is an equalization of the
manufacturing and agricultural factors Of
the country, or the opening up of new
markets by means of enlarged carrying
facilities from our ports. 1t may as well
be borne in mind, and Senators and Repre-
sentatives ought to know it, that production
has oyerlapped consumption, and the times
cannot and will not improve until the rela-
tive position of supply and demand ia
changed by the creation of foreign markets
for the surplus our people, if all employed,
are sure to make.

with capacity for $4,000 spindles and
nearly 1000 looms, is about completed.
The notices placed In the 'Lonsdale Mills,
stating that further reduction of wages
will take place on the Goth inst, have had
the effect of creating much dissatisfaction
among the operatives, and it is belieYed will
result in general strike. ~"

Notice of a reduction of about four per

of other corporations expect to receive
similar notice this week. The Stark Mills

goods on account of the dullness of the
market, and now make crash goods from

WILL THE SCHOOLS BE CLOSED

Board of Education being out of funds,
at their last meeting the chairman of the
Finance Committee, Mr.. Woolley, was in
structed to apply to Council for sufficient
sum to pay necessary expenses until July,
when the school tax could be collected.
Last night Council refused to grant the
request of the Board, the City Solicitor being
of the opinion that it would be a violation
Of the city charter. Unless money is bor-
rowed by the members of Board, individual
ly, the schools will have to be closed for

PENNSYLTANIA Politics.
G. P. JOHNSON, Secretary.

fENNDI AP ANAA ISAAAANSs
: The Republican nominations made at
Harrisburg on Wednesday, are entirely In
the interest of the Cameron dynasty in that
State There can be little doubt, that save
the great Republican strongholds of Allie
ghany, and Philadelphia, there will be much
discomfort. and lukewarmness In the other
Republican Counties, such as Lancaster,
Chester, Delaware, as well as the hitherto
reliable ones in the northwest, and west.
From present appearances the party is
doomed in Pennsylvania. If the
labor element in the great mining,
and manufacturing, centres, is properly
handled, it will be able to hold the balance
of power, and dictate its own terms in the
Legislature. If it's forces are aimlessly, used
it will reap no harvest, and be toy In the
hands of the ring managers. Next week
the Democracy will meet In Pittsburg, to
register. as some say, the orders of Tom
Scott, by dominating Dell-this would be
a sad and serious mistake, and place the
result in great doubt. There is only one
IN an named for Governor of Pennsylvania,
who If nominated, would be morally certain
to carry Philadelphia, and possibly Allie
ghany, for the Dem Dcracy THAT is General
McCandless. There is an element in politics
which mere managers overlook but which
political philosophers recognize asapoweful
factor In contest the emotional. Nc
Candless pre- eminently Is able to arouse
this power into action, and make Its force
felt in campaign. This was demonstrated
in his contest in the first Senatorial district
some years ago, and again in bis last canvass
for Secretary of Internal Affairs. With
such standard bearer as McCandless, tor
Governor, there is but little doubt of the
Democracy being able to carry the old
Keystone State. We know of no man, who
would be so acceptable to the mass Of

the working men, or more likely to stay
the threatened stampede or the hard fisted

Candless could carry Pennsylvania. We
hope the Democracy Of our sister State,
will not make the blunder of nominating
Dell, who is known to be creature of the
Pennsylvania Railroad corporation.
