THE PITTSBURG STRIKE.

IA il the iron manufacture were not in
trouble enough already, the puddlers at Pittsburg
have resolved to strike for higher wages, there
by throwing more than $4,000 men out of en-
ploymcnt in that district alone. The mis-
chief will inevitably extend to other dis
tricts, whether the strike does or not,
and this great industry, which seemed
to be on the point of recovering its command
in the home market by wise reduction i'll prices
ard in the cost of production, is threatened
with Reorganization for an indefinite time. The
association of puddlers is strong enough to
make prolonged and stubborn resistance, and
may possibly involve kindred associations else
where i'll similar conflicts, while the manu-
facturers, in the present peculiar position of
the business, can probably close their works
at less immediate disadvantage or loss than
at almost any other time. Prices are so low that
they can scarcely expect any profit whatever
on products, even ut the present rate of
wages, and they unanimously decide that
they cannot afford to operate at all at the
higher rate of So so per ton demanded by
the men as q minimum for pudding. Payment
for this work is arranged upon a sliding
scale, so that tho wages are proportional
to the selling price Of the product. When
the card-rate for bar iron is So so, the
puddlers are paid So per ton, and h
each advance In the price there is a
corresponding advance in wages paid. In
February last, refined bar iron sold at
$50 60 per ton at Philadelphia, and the
pudders made high wages. On the 10th
instant the price Of the same iron ut
Philadelphia had fallen to $56 per ton, and
the recent reduction in tho card-rate by the
associstio of manufacturers has 20 far re-
duced wages that the puddlers, it is claimed,
can average only So per day. They made even
less in tho time of extreme depression which
ended about year ago, when many of them

to bring from his own State to National Con-
ventionl 1t is needless to demonstrate further
this revolt against q third term. Chiefly
conspicuous in the three States which
Conkling, Cameron and Logan assumed CONTROL
the instruction has spread Throughout the party !;
the press has daily borne willing or unwilling
testimony to it, and it has been lately illus
trated by the signatures of 5000 staunch
Republicans of New York who declare that they
will not vote for General Grant If he is nom
mated.
We have no disposition to underrate the
character or the services of General Grant.
We have rejoiced to remark an entire absence
of personal abuse or scurrility in any form on
the part of those who are opposed to his
nomination. The opposition is essentially not
personal it goes to the National Convention
pledged to vote, not against a man, but for q
principle. This question is one which rises
above all personal feeling. The strongest and
most general sentiment which has been mani
tested in this country since the war is the
sentiment against third term. The issue is
definite one, which no sOphistry can obscure
no dexterity evade. The best elements OF the
Republican party have determined that they
will nominate no man for President three times,
and we hope that decree will be officially an
nounced this week at Chicago.

SENATOR Don CAMERON,S POWER.

We have no expectation that General Grant
will be nominated this week at Chicago.
Should so unwise and perilOus choice be
made, it is proper that the responsibility for 1t
should be definitely placed. 1t belongs, in
the first instance, of course, to the three Sen
ators who have 80 cOnspicuOusIy engineered
the movement from the beginning, and whom
the public generally recognize as its authors
and chief promoters. But there are different
degrees of responsibility attaching to each.
Senator Conkling gave to it the force of his
strong personality, the weight of his charac-
ter, the strength of his influence and assOcia-
tons, and the power of his aggressive meth
DDS and unbending directness Of purpose
The capture of the New-YOrk delega-
ton, or of so much of that delegation as
will support Grant, was effected in
the open field, after O fair state
ment of the question, and without resorting
to the Questionable tactics used in Pennsylva-
MIA and Illinois. The methods used in Illinois
are of public notOriety and fresh in the public
mind. There is no need to dwell on them
Senator Logan had but one thing in view, and
he went to his work with pluck and determi-
nation. There was nothing he was not will
ling to sacrifice and little that he left unsacri-
feed, to accomplish his purpose.
Both these gentlemen were in measure
successful. They did not carry out their plans
to their full extent since in the New-YOrk
delegation there are votes not gained for
Grant, and if justice is done in the Conven-
vention the vote of Illinois will be divided
But they did all that was possible to be done,
and, considering the actual sentiment of Re-
publicans in the two States, they accomplished
wonders. They secured In any event a
larger proportion Of the delegates than the
strength of their candidate entitled him to-
and they have, up to this time, made q most
persistent and stubborn fight to carry the
whole for him. But Senator DON Cameron
must, after all, be considered the chief figure
In the fray. His part in it began with the
intriguing by which he became, in the first
place, 90 long ago as last December, men,
Der of the National Committee in place Of
Mr.. VIM. H. Kemble; and then chairman Of
the Committee. 1t was through him that the
Pennsylvania Convention was early called.

becoming independent of charitable support
As we get further away from the war PERIOD
the Observance of Decoration Day becomes
more and more general. The day has now
taken its place with the Fourth of July as
holiday sacred to patriotism. AS the older
holiday commentaries not alone the signing of
the Declaration of Independence, but also the
whole revolutionary epoch with its glorious
struggles and privations, so does Decoration
Day associate itself not only with the memory
of the heroism and devotion of the men who
fell in the war for the Union, but also with the
purposes, events and achievements OF the
contest which claimed their lives as a sacrifice
on the altar of their country. 1t is worthlly
celebrated as q day of mingled sadness and
ioy-sadness for the fallen brave, JOY for
the triumph and permanence Of the grand
cause of freedom and nationality.
BeaconsGeld is never 80 strong as in
adversely. Our London letter describes his
speech at the great gathering of the Tory
leaders held to consider their recent defeat at
the polls and to mark out course for their
party in the future. At this meeting the
leadership of the ex-Premier was as fully
recognized as when he was at the head OF the
Government, and his calm courage and
power of inspiring confidence in his followers
never shone more conspicuously. The warm
personal regard of the Queen for Beaconsfeld
is undiminished She invited him to Windsor
Immediately after her reception of Mr. and
Mrs. Gladstone and just before the Tory

ecutive of the will of the Nation and lend the
influence of the Grown to restore the shattered
fortunes of the beaten Tory party.
