An Appeal for Reform.

EDITOR STATESMAN 1T is an un1oubted
fact that no Territory IN the history of the
Union has had more solid and substantlai,
even though it may have had more rapid,
growth than Washington. The very nature
OF the country demands 1t and IFS resources
nece,sitate i. Tie major part of its terri
tory beng farming land, 1t has little or no
room for speculative dealing and less for
lawlessness. That its growth In the future
will be as solid and stable is 1t has been IN
the past, no one doubts or has cause 10 doubt,
and this is the foundation upon which Is be-
ing built the future prosperity OF our Terri
tory. Farmers and skilled artisans can ali
find remunerative employment, and so long
as this is the case, there will continue To
come class Of citizens to be desired IN any
new country, and always welcome here
As the Territory increases in population
and wealth, so, proportionately, does Naila

from which viii radiate numerous projected

manufactured necessaries and comforts that
We impart from the East, with the increased
price made necessary By cost Of transporta-

before being bought by the consumT. Why
not do away with all these extra charges by
making what we want and what We need.

PITTsBuRG, July 25.-It is very probable
that the National Tube Works Company OF
McKeesport will start up in few days with
non-union men. General-Manager FIagler
arrived home yesterday and posted up a
notice notifying the strikers to return to
work by noon to-day or consider themselves
discharged. AS the meu failed 10 accept the
invitation to return to work Manager Flag
Ter will, it is thought, make an attempt, at
least, to run without them, as the mill must
be started at all hazards. Mr.. FIagler is re-
garded by those who know him as a man of
sufficient determination to make desperate
effort to carry out his plan. The mill has
2300 names upon its pay-rolls, and besides a
large establishment at McKeesport, operates
the old Wharton mill in this city. The mill
operates sixteen pudding furnaces, only
worked when on double turn by sixty-four
puddlers. Thes main offices are in
New York, and the company operates
another but smaller mill near Boston.
Contrary to expectation, the Cleveland
strikers did not send a committee to confer
with President Jarrett on the subject of re-
summing work, but instead wrote letter,
which letter was to-day received and
answered by Mr.. Jarrett. According to that
gentleman the attitude of the Cleveland
members of the ASSOCIATION had been mis-
represented. They at ne time countenanced
any measures looking toward an abatement
of their members and return to work. On
Saturday evening they met and decided to
maintain their rights as members of the
union. In their letter the Committee of
Conference asked for Mr.. Jarrett's views, and
he simply requested them to adhere to their
action of Saturday, and to refuse to accept
their old places at the expense of their man
hood and their membership in the associa-
ton. Mr.. Jarrett was emphatic in his de-
nunciation of the terms laid down by Su-
perintendent Chisholm, of the Cleveland
