STRIKES IN PENNSYLVANIA.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2O.-The Evening
Bulletin has a special from Reading, Pa,
which says that number of secret emissa-
ries from the Pittsburg iron districts are
quietly operating in Lshigh and Schuylkill
valleys, with the view of inducing the men
in the furnaces and rolling mills to strike.
At the very large works of Clark, Reeves &
Co., and the Phoenix Iron Works, where the
strike recently occurred, but was adjusted, it
is said that several of the leading officials of
the Amalgamated Association are endeavor-
ing to induce the leading workers to strike
and close the mills.
At Bethlehem an extensive strike has been
commenced.
At Johnstown trouble is brewing, and it is
believed number of other strikes will
shortly be begun. The object of this ennis
in the Eastern iron mills, so to compel
the mill owners at both ends of the State to
accede to the demands of the men.

OUR PINE SUPPLY.

The market value of timber lands in the
lake region has doubled since the publication
of the Census bulletin maps, in which the
startling fact was set forth that the white pine
supply of the country would be completely
exhausted in a dozen years. This fact would
seem to Indicate not only that the accuracy of
these statistics is accepted without question,
but also that the most provident lumber deal
crs had failed to comprehend how swiftly the
devastation of the pine forests was going on.
No other wood on this continent is so easily
shaped by the tool of the workman to such
varied use. The redwood of California APP
proaches it more nearly in quality than any
other, being light durable and fne-grained
wood which works smoothly and splits
true. But California is long way
from Eastern markets, and in a recent
bulletin the amount of accessible redwood
standing in the census year along the coast
range from Oregon to Santa Cruz is estimated
at less than 26,O00.O00,00O feet, board meas
ure. At the same date 10000, 100000 feet of
merchantable white pine was standing in the
lower peninsula of Michigan alone, so that the
relief we can hope for from the Pacific coast
is comparatively slight. 1t should be added
that California enterprise has not been behind
that of the older States in devising means for
celebrating their timber trees. They have been
even more wasteful in their methods of saw
ing and working. 1t is no uncommon thing to
see a redwood tree containing $4,000
feet or more of lumber left to decay on
the ground or to feed the next fire which
sweeps through the forest, simply because
slight twist in the grain prevents its
splitting readily and squarcly into railroad
ties. Animals which gnaw and browse are
turned loose to help devourng fires sweep
away not only the timber but the soil itself,
for in no other country do the conditions
which produce destructive torrents more gen.
orally prevail. Here are mountains, high,
steep and covered yearly with unknown

Moreover if Congress is going to initiate Its

where this crop il most largely grown It will
" DO variable" The promise thus far Is quite
unfavwable in Iowa and Illinois, hitherto the
largest corn-growing States but favorable
weather may yet cause q crop equal to the
average for the past five years. AThe yield of
oats and hay will be exceptionally large. No
untoward event has occurred to change the
prospect as to cotton, except that drouth
continues in Texas, and is doing some harm.
AS the increase in acreage is almost wholly in
that State, injury there would be somewhat
important.
Notwithstanding really favorable prospects
as to production, the speculation in corn and
cotton has brought about another advance in
prices. Cotton sold on Friday at 1878 cents
for middling uplands; and corn at 81 cents
for No. 2. Wheat has declined little since
the June "corner" broke, and No. 2 red win
ter sold at 81 33 ON Saturday, against ST. 35
on the Saturday previous. Speculation in oats
has also been very active, and No. sold on
Saturday at 62ss cents, against 61l2 cents on
the LIST. In word, prices are almost entirely
artificial, and are controlled by powerful
cliques of spectators with sovereign contempt
for the news as to production or probable de-
mand. The cliques expect to be able to es-
cape if the crops prove large, by forcing
purchases by other spectators who have sold
grain and cotton that they did not own, and
thus the most important industry of the coun-
try and its foreign commerce are placed at
the mercy of gamblers who do not even pre-
tend to want the stuff which they buy or to
own the stuff which they sell. There is much
danger that the harm done by speculation
may be even greater this year than it was
last year. In fact, gambling seems likely to
do more mischief than storms, bugs or
drOuth.

From tho comments of the Democratic news
papers on the RObesOn-WhtthOrne set-to in the
House the other day it is manifest that that in
the Democrat IS but a chOerc word which in the
Republican is fat blasphemy." The newspapers
that have habitually appauded the most brutal and
BLACKBOARD attacks upon Mr. Robson during the past
four five years, and that not only nothing
wrong in Whitthome's calling him liar and thief, but
actually commended him for it. are very much
scandaliZed because Robson, in decOrous and par
iamentary language, without calling anyone by
name, drew a picture which Whittborne recog-
nzed as his own. One of these journals
is shocked at RObeson's "ef'rontery " IN defending
himself on the floor of Congress, as if it really
breach of decency on his part to deny that he is
liar and thief. And when WhitthOrne charged
him with corrupty sharing the profits of naval con-
tractors and with falsehood and perjury, it says
he "only replied with sneering and slanderous
remarks" WhitthOrne, it seems must have as large
a charter as the wind. to blow on whom he pleases
but whoever blows on Whitthorne is guilty of
"sneering and slanderous remarks" And it IS
"effrontery" in any man whom the Tennessee
batherskite calls liar. peEjurer and thief, to deny
it or show any resentment.

Detective Dorsey, who some three months
ago went in pursuit of a thieving Canon from
Tourney, Belgium, started on stern chase,
which is proverbally a long one But 1t was
successful and the thief who made off with
LOO. 900 francs is now on his way back to Bel
GUM. One point of the story illustrates the alb
horrence which the Roman Catholic Church has
of scandal. The Bishop of Tourney waited
nine months before the authorities were in
formed of the crime hoping that the thiefs con-
science would impel him to return and give up
his plumber. But when it appeared that Ber-
nards conscience would not soften, the pursuit
was begun and kept up theoretically. There
fore, about all the dishonest Canon can expect
now is Justice. BY this time he probably regrets
that he was so vain as to have his picture
taken after his CRIME. That gave the detec-
tive clew. The lawyer who went to Belgium
to make compromise for the criminal and was
locked up as an accomplish was served just
right. 1t would be a good thing if all lawyers
who stoop to act as go-betweens for thieves
who have robbed graves or banks or bishops
could be punished in some way.
