Grant To Be Next Senator.

THE SCHEME WHICH CONKIINa PRO-
POSES TO PUT THROUGH.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-From inad-
vertent statements made here to me TO-
day by New York Republ, cans, and in
deed by several prominent Grant Sena-
tors, there seems To be no doubt that
Conkling contemplates presenting the
name of Gen. U. s. Grant as his Assis-
tant Senator TO the New York Legisla-
tllre at the coming session, and also hav-
ing him elected. Conkling wants him,
not only that he may be coached for the
linperiallst fight in 1884 but also to keep
hm.near and indebted to.hlmself 1t will
not do, from the Imperiallst programme,
to have Grant sink into quietude or
silence during the next four years. He
must be kept in the iememLerance of the
people, and as Senator. under Conkling's
tuition, he can make solem speeches a.
hid during the campaign, aud remain q
prominent candidate.
This is pretty well shown by the fac,
that he lost his vote in Galena Al the
last election, and has taken up his resi-,
dcnce in New York. Conkling, besides
is sure of avoiding a very uncom!ort able
fight in the Legislature by this nomina.
ton. All the Anti-Machinists will bt
awed by Grants name, and will vote fol

The Democratic party is not dead
neither does it sleep. There is lit
tie reason for encouragement with
the result of the recent election. In
1910 the Democratic party carried
but seven States, and yet four years
later it defeated Henry Clay and
elected James X. Polk. In l848 the
Wings scored another victory, but
that did not prevent Franklin Pierce
from sweeping the country like a
whirlwind in 1859. The party elect.
ed ano ther President in 1876, and
because we are defeated now, it il
childish to talk about "no future for
the party" The Democratic party
is the natural ruler of the country

STRIKE OF CoMPosIToRs.

READING, Nov. 22.-The compost
tors TO the number of eighteen or twen-
ty, employed on the Reading Eagle,
daily, OF this city, left their places in
. body this morning on account Of the
fact that the proprietor, Jesse q. Haw-
ley, had placed two ladies in the com
posing room for the purpose of learn
ing type setting.
This new departure ON the part of
the proprietor led the men to the be-
lief that as soon as the ladies learned
the art they would usurp the places Of
the others.
The men before quitting, said to the
proprietor that if he would cause the
ladies to leave the composing room
there would be no trouble, otherwise
they would quit. This was refused
and a strike was the consequence.
The strikers say they have no other
fault to find. Their wages were
promptly paid, etc., but if they quiet
ly submitted to the two women being
brought into the composing room now
in q short time others would follow,
which would eventually lower wages
and throw them out of employment.
The Eagle prints four editions daily,
all of which were gotten out to day by
by filling the places of the striker,
with apprentices, reporters, and 9TH
srs.
Mr.. Hawley says he is going to go
through with the affair now, and for
this purpose advertises for fifteen la
dies to learn type setting. The strik-
ers say they will stand firm for what
they consider just and right.

ager, stating that their son was dead
and his body would be forwarded.
Ou Saturday the body of the midget
arrived at Cold Spring, and was taken
to his late residence. The mother Of
Mr.. Cronk who was an aged woman,
sorrowed greatly at the loss of her son,
and when the remains were taken into
the house on Saturday, the shock was
so great that she died in a very short
time. 1t is thought death in her case
was the result OF heart disease. The
case is made more sad by the fact that

The RaYnges Of Foxes.

Within the past week or SO, the fox
es have been committing great depre
datiops on the hen roosts of the farmer
in the vicinity of Milltown and havt
grown so bold that they are frequently
seen crossing the fields near houses in
broad day light with the greatest ef
frontsry. A daughter of Wi!liamWells,
near the above named place, had fifty
chickens which she placed in coop for
feeding, with the expectation of send.
ing them to market at the end Of the
week, but during the night, the coop
was entered by fox or foxes and for
ty-fve Of the ffty chickens killed, q
number being left in the coop, while as
many as thirty were subsequently dis
covered buried in neigh boring corn
field for future consumption. Thess
chickens would weigh from four 10 six
pounds each, aud the loss was not far
from $75. Again within a few days,
what is supposed to oe tie came faraily
of foxes made foray on the premises
of Davis Garrett and carried off a num-
Der of his chickens. 1t is probable
that some action will be taken by the
exasperated chicken fanciers against
the foxes, which are said to make their
home on the place of Truman Forsythe
and their extinction may be looked for
at an early day.-West Chester Ere.
