ABOUT STRIKES AND STRIKERS.

Probably the prime cause of the uneasiness
of iaboring men which is manifesting itself
in various parts of the country is the increas-
ed cost of living. 1t is reasonable effort
upon the part of workingmen that they
should try TO keep a reciprocal proportion
between their earnings and their expenses.
But they are bound to exercise good Judge
ment in the premises. The increase in the
cost of food has not resulted from any cause
within the control of capital or labor It
cannot be remedied by strikes on the part Of
the wOrkingmen or stoppages on the part Of
the employers. 1t is hardship that bears
with uniform pressure upon every active in
tereSt in the whole country. The remedy
must come from an increased surplus of food
products, The existing active demand a nd
high prices will insure 4 proper supply as
soon as the farmers can 20 through their
necessary round of plowing and sowing and
Teaping. The prospects of fair crops gives
every reason to hope for cheaper bread and
meat in the due order of production. But
the day of relief cannot be fastened by force
OF tumult. A strike is no remedy for dear
bread. 1t only makes the bread farded to
get. The matter might be different if a
striker could stop eating but he merely
stops working, the eating must go on.
But there are disabilities under which Ia
borers suffer that are in a measure of their
own making, aDd for which they have in
their hands certain remedy. The tOmnod-
dies who 90 about organizing distinctions
in mines, manufactures and workshops do
not look beyond their noses Tor the lJern1a n
ent burdens which in this country have been
so fitted to the backs of labor that they seem m
to belong their as much as his hump belongs
to the camel They do not reflect that the
piled-up millions of gold and silver in the
Treasury of the United States in excess of
the necessary expenditures of the Govern
ment do not represent huge and unnecas-
saTy draft upon the workings OF la Dor. EV-
cry shirt on the back of the laboring man,
every tool in his hand his bread his meat.
hfg so Baxg n-aIIh haa
taxed beyond any occasion of necessity to
perpetuate system of spoliation. If the
wOrkingman pays on an average SO per cent.
more than he should pay upon nearly ali the
neoessaries of life it is his own fault. He
makes the bed he lies on. He has the sort
of government he provides for himself and
when ne desires to change it he can do so,
If there is to be any striking donesthis year
it should be a strike against high taxes, that
are eating the very life out OF every produe-
tive intereSt.-PhtLddelph Record

FIVE Independent Republicans, So
called, with Wolfe at their head, and
five ''machine' Republicans, with Quay
as their captain, held a conference at
the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, on
last Saturday night and finished their
their work on Monday night. The pur-
pose of the conference was to harmon
fze the existing differences and dissen-
sions between the two waIring factions
of the grand old party in this State.
That object don't seem to have been ac-
complished, however, as both Wolfe and
Mckee, chairman Of the Independent
Republican State Committee, admitted
after it was all over that the resolutions
adopted would amount to probably
nothing 1t is not pretended that the
action of the conference is binding upon
the house of Wolfe or upon the house
of Cameron, the latter of which was re-
presented in the conference by Quay.
The resolutions adopted will be submit
ted to the Republican State convention
when it meets on Wednesday next, and
will. Of course, be adopted. They are
in substance, an admission By the Cam
eron men that they have played it very
rough on Wolfe and his innocents in
tbe psst. but promising to do the nice
thing by them in the future. Next
Wednesdays convention will simplify
the matter materially.

A MONSTER LOCOMOTIyE.-The new six
ty-tOn engine of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has been christened Jumbo" by
the employees of the corporation. This mann
moth in the way of mechanism weighs over
sixty tons, and Is fifteen tons heavier than a
class "K' engine, the largest in use hereto
fore. 1t has a five feet driving wheel, with a
thlrty-three inch truck under the smOxeStack.
In the rear of the drivers there is one six
wheel swivel truck which will enable the en-
gine to turn sharp curve. The cylinder is
1oN24 the same size as is used on class ''K -
engines. The water tank, which surrounds
the fire box, has capacity of 1000 gallons.
The engine Is constructed to run in either
direction, and has pilots at both ends, thus
doing away with the necessity of a turn-ta-
bic. The iron horse is in one solid frame
and while shorter than other engines is three
feet higher. Hard or soft coal NAV be used,
and the fire box is eight feet deep. The en-
gine virtually reveTses itself, this movement
being obtained by the use of hot water in
stead of steam. The injector checks enter
the boiler behind the dome, thus protecting
the pipe in ease of accident. Jumbo made
the run from Altoona to this city, drawing
fifteen freight cars, some parts, of the trip be
ing made at the rate of mile in 90 seconds.
The engine is the invention Of Theodore n
Ely, superintendent of motive power and
machinery Of the Pennsylvania Company
and was constructed in Altoona. The new
machine will be kept on the West Chester
I branch so that its workings can be closely
watched Philadelphia Record.

THE people of Philadelphia propose
celebrating an important and interest
ing event next October. On the 11th of
September, 1852, one hundred passen-
gers, including William Penn, embark
ed at Deal, England, in the ship 'Wel-
comet for this land of promise. Penn
arrived at New Castle, on the Delaware,
on October 27th-remaining there one
day-arrived at Upland (now Chester)
on the 29th, and landed at what is now
Philadelphia probably, on October Both,
but certainly before November ID, 1862,
It is to be hoped that this celebration in
honor of the good and peaceful Quaker,
by whom the foundation Of our noble
commonwealth was laid two hundred
years ago, will be carried out in such a
way by those having it in charge as to
be eminently worthy Of the occasion.

THE Pittsburg Telegraph, referring to
a recent hanging by a mob at Gallon,
Ohio, of a negro who had outraged the
menting on the alarming frequency of
the commission of that hellish offence
in so many sections OF the country, ex-
presses the conviction that the death
penalty should be inflicted first, last and
all the time for the malicious ard fore.
ible violation of female chastity. The
Telegraph is right, Cor if the man who
commit murder deserves to be hung, the
safety of society demands the same
atOnement for the other and scarcely
less heinOus crime.

HANGED FOR SIX Hours. "A Mexican BY

HANGED FOR SIX HOURS. "A Mexican by
the name of SenObio Martinez was brought
to this city yesterday morning from the Me
dina, in Baxter county, who had a thrilling
tale of terror to tell rivaling some of the des-
perate acts of the Baxter county Vigilance
Committee In it palmiest days, when Mexi-
can horse thieves might be seen hanging
from the limbs of adjacent trees on almost
any day in the week. During those DAYS
too, several well-known gentlemen were ac-
cuSed OF going to church with ropes in their
pockets. But to the subject as far as we
could CLEAN, SenobiO Matinez's story runs
about thusly; He lives on the Medina, and
for long time past has concurred the dis
pleasure OF his neighbOIs from the fact that
SeEobIo has been suspected of appropriating
other peoples horse flesh TO his own use
and dispOSing of the same for private gain.
On Tuesday night mob of unknown men
went to the house of Martinez, took him
away and hung him to tree leaving him
shortly afteTward for dead. The mob how
ever, neglected to tie the mans hands be-
his neck with both hands for six hours, he
succeeded in saving his life, and was cut
down the next day by friends. The poor
fellow cannot tell who the patti were who
committed this outrage, nor how many there
were in the gang. He only knows that he
went through the horrors of death and is
still bruised about his face and neck. He
was brought to this city, and is now out on
the 8laZen creek, near town, with friends
An application was made TO have him sent
to the pOOrhOuse for proper care and treat
ment. Judge Felix G.. Smith granted the
request, but the man refused to 90, fearing
that the mob would hunt him there ard ac-
complish their foul purpose. e.-.San Antonja

Frank MeManus, a tramp from Boston,
enticed the four-yeaT-old daughter of J. P.
Spear, of Minneapolis, Mimi, to the suburbs
on Thursday and there il-trsated her. The
child was carried to her home in dying
condition and McManus was lodged in Jail.
About 1 o'clock next morning a party of
masked men appeared at the Jail and de-
manded his surrender. The Sheriff was
made a prisoner and the mob then made a
thorough search of the Jail, breaking open
cell doors until they found McManus. He
was taken to Mr.. Spears house, where he
was fully identified. Without further eere-
mony the mob took him to a large tree in
front of the High School building and hanged
him from limb at 4.15 O'Clock A. NJ He
did not express any fear after eonfessing his
crime, and asked one of his executioneTs &c

tenant of Ireland has taken place, Earl
COwper retiring and Earl Spencer TAX

sition not many years ago, and was
very popular with the Irish people,
while on the other hand it is admitted
that COwper has been a complete fail

the government has decided to release

ion Of being persona lly concerned in the

be a candidate for third term at the
coming primary elections in Westmore-
land county. If Morgan r. will now
publish another card announcing that
he will not be a candidate in either Fay

in the district, he will then by common
consent be regarded as wise in his con-
duct as he is in his name.

ONE doctor Lamson, an American, was
executed in London on Friday morning last
for the crime of murder. He was financially
embarrassed. He had a sckly brother-in-
law in the event of whose death his wife
would come into a small fortune. The boy
suddenly died. DT. Lamson fed to Paris
but on hearing through the papers that he
was suspected and the officers were in search
of him, returned to London, surrendered
himself and announced his innocence, He
was tried and swiftly condemned, the evi-
dence that the young man had died of pois-
on being overwhelming. Afterwards it was
discovered that he had some distinguished
relatives in this county and desperate at
tempt was made to save him A number of
afidavits were made to show his insanity
and hurriedly sent to England. Twice the
prisoner was Tespited, but in the end his
sentence was affirmed and he is now in
eternity.

have been as late as November the
coming Winter has been severe. The
later the rains the rougher the Winter,
