THE IRON industry of Pittsburg is
worth some eighteen or twenty millions
of dollars, and yet this vast interest
has its prosperity jeopardized by a
lockout. The puddlers persist in de-
manding S. per ton, which the masters
refuse. So far as we can understand
the matter, the fault lies with the
workmen. These demand $50 more
per ton for their work than the same
class of men elsewhere get. The mas
ters say that to pay the sum demanded
will place them at great disadvantage
with the manufacturers of iron else
where, and that they might as well
close their works at once as to endeavor
to compete with more favored mas
ters. 1t seems particularly unfortunate
that this question should arise at this
time when the iron industry seems
about to start into new life after its
loug period of inactivity and dulness
The fact that the mill owIers have
themselves closed their establishments
goes to show they are in earnest. The
prospect before the workmen is there
fore not encouraging, and it is feared
there will be the old story to tell, of a
long strike and return to work event.

In the nomination of General Ewing
for Governor of Ohio, the Democrats
have sacrificed whatever of honesty and
disingenuousness that they had left.
The platform is that of hard money but
the figure head is soft, very soft. In
deed the platform seems to be made up
with such collectio of discordant ele-
ments opposed to each other, that it is
like house divided against itself,
and no matter which part Of it is as
sailed, the other part affords a loop
hole for escape. But then in the pres
ent campaign men are to count for
much more than platforms and princi-
pies. The Philadelphia Evening Bul-
letin, sound generally in its views, says:
Ewing was chosen by the convention,
not because he was once a Union SOL
dier, but because he is ranting, roar
ing, Unsuitable infationist, and the
party had hopes that he would catch
much of the Greenback vote. If he
should do so, there would possibly he
very close contest; but upon the day ON
which he was nominated the Green
hackers held little convention Of their
own which selected ticket and made
positive declaration that the faction
would never consent to a coalition with
the Democrats. If this resolution is
adhered to, Ewing's defeat may be re-
garded as certain. As for the matters
in the Democratic platform which are
apart from the financial question, they
are only worthy of contempt. A good
deal Of impudence was required to en-
able party which has carried the
whole South by force and fraud to &C

VINO are Rsspeusisles

We should like to inquire who are
res ponsible for the murders recently
committed in our citys This is an
important inquiry, and II should not
bs passed over hastily. That there is
a great responsibility resting on other
parties than the immediate actors, ,seema
to us very obvious. The use OF intoxi'
eating liquors nsrved the assassins to
strike the murderous blow, and fire the
fatal shot. Those who sold the liquor
which imbruted those who drank 1t,
are therefore measurably responsible
for the crimes. The liquor being sold
in defiance of law relieves the State
from any agency or responsibility in
the matter. But can we say that the
Mayor and police are also guiltless
1t is admitted that had certain houses
been closed and no liquor sold therein
these murders would not have been
committed. II this be 80, then those
who neglected to perform their duty in
this respect, cannot be blameless. Blood
must attach in a certain extent to their
skirts. We want them to think Of this
matter, and to weigh it fully in all its
various aspects. If man neglects to
perform a prescribed duty and injury
to persons or property ensue, he is
universally condemned and forced to
relinquish his place, If not compelled
to pay for the damage sustained or
suffer some penalty.
Our city recently paid a good round
sum for injury received by a citizen
in consequence of the neglect Of some
one, and the same rule should apply to
all its officers. 1t is said that there are
some three hundred unlicensed drink
ing houses in Wilmington, and it is
further said it is the duty Of the Mayor
and police to close them up. lfthis be
true and they neglect to close them,
arc they not measurahly responsible
for any crime that may ensue in conse-
quence of their illegal traffic This is
the question we should like to have
answered. The matter is certainly
an important one, and hence we press it
upon their consideration.

the late Caleb Gushing. The extent
and variety of his reading were pro-
digious, and his bodily condition was
usually so excellent that for a period
of forty years he spent, as he himself
often said, sixteen hours out Of every
twenty-four in intellectual pursuits

scarcely seems possible that any man
could continue such application-and
in Cushing's case it was absorbing

special business, and he never seemed
