How to Settle the Labor Question.

Big Sam says that it will be no
trouble to settle the wages question.
He has a plan by which the miners
can get 81 day and the companies
get the work done for less money
than now, as he says, "All they have
to do is to set days work at twelve
hours for 81, then work the men
eight hours, and pay them for two
thirds time. By this means the men
would get 81 day and the compa-
ny would have the work done tor
50 66s, and everybody would be
happy" The Chinese treaty has set
Big Sam to thinking.

The Senate Republican caucus having

which the two Senators from State

cratic votes in favor Of Robertson's
confirmation. In this of course, he
has the support and countenance of

Of the Capital has there been such a
lively trade in offices as at present
The corrupt speculation is of course
cloaked and concealed under the high
sounding names OF diplomacy and ex.
pediency, but il is rank fostering cor.
ruption all the same. To this pass

who saved and elected him, he is now
to betray what remains of
the Republican party in the South.

WHAT NEXT.-Don't trouble your.
self about the next thing you are to

He can do the first. If he omits il the
wheels Of the social Juggernaut roll

carry him with it. There is no say

man may come who begins with what
he can do, and uses the means at his

however slight, towards which all the

HISTORICAL LIARS.

The editor of tho Cambria Freeman
bits class in that line in this way.
"Adam Badeau, who was q member
Of Grants staff during the war, has
written a military history of General
Grant in three volumes, and, Judging
from an article on Badeau's production
which appeared in the Johnstown
Tribune oGlast Monday, it will neither
do Grant, any good in the estimation
of the country, if Badeau's statements
are to be believed, nor will it establish
the reputation of the latter as a histo.
rian OF truth. According to the Johns.
town Tribune article, Badeau represents
Grant as saying of Frank Sigel, the
German General: "He will do moth
ing bat run. He never did anything
else" Badeau must have made o mis-.
take and substituted Sigel's name for
that of Schurz, for after that Generals
sorry performances at the second Bull
Run battle, and elsewhere, it was said
to be a common expression among the
German soldiers, ave right nit Sigel
and we run nit Schurz." Sigel's rep.
utation for courage was never ques.
toned. When the bravo Gen. Lyon
was killed at tho commencement of
the war near Springfield, in south.
western Missouri, Sigel conducted the
retreat and for his ability and skill re.
ceived the highest praise of the best
army officers. After that he fought
like hero at the bloody battle of Pea
Ridge, in Arkansas, just over the Mis-.
souri, line, and fully sustained his rep
utation as man OF undoubted courage.
We don't exactly believe that Grant
ever said of Sigel what Badeau repre-.
sents him as having said but when wo
remember how be deliberately lied
about General Hancock last Fall in an
interview with a Chicago preacher,
Badeau's statement becomes highly
probable Grant may have been as
willing to injure Sigel as he was to
deiame Hancock, but his malice will
fail in accomplishing Its purpose"
