A Clumsy COntriyancP.

Really the alert newspaper PEOPLE who
are trying to run the Democratic state
convention in advance Of its meeting,
and without consultation with its del
eyates, ought at least to try and put their
shots closer together. AS it now hap
pens they set story afioat one day only
to be contradicted by the next days ru-
NOR. The other day they had Randall
running himself and Pattison for gov
ernor at one end of the state and Hop
kins and Turnkey at the other end,
while Wallace was also for and against
both Hopkins and Turnkey. Some time
ago it was announced that VIM. l.. Scott
would oppose Hopkins because Hopkins
in Congress, on the stump and in the
public prints, has been rather promi-
nent opponent of freight determinations
and had thus incurred The enmity of
the corporation influences which Mr..
Scott is supposed to sympathize with. A
little later and we were entertained
with an account of how Scott was pro-
noting Uancock's nomination, in the
Tilden interest, with Il view of compass
ing Hancock's defeat at the polls and
thus dispatching him as presidential
candidate. Now we are told, this morn
ing, that Scott is for hopkins, and has
sent out an anOnyL."t.a circular in his
interest, which is printed elsewhere.
The manner III which this circular
and the accompanying statement are
given to tie press, ths dating Of it at
Pittsburgh and the ascription of its
authorship to Mr.. Scott are manifestly
the work of some clumsy and cowardly
fellow who, without having any very
clear idea Of the relation of Pennsylvania
Democrats to public questions and to
each other, desires to injure some of
them and fOment a false issue to the in
jury of the party.
Upon the corporation question the
Democratic party of this state has taken
Il aposition from which it is very certain
not to recede, and that is very we'll ex,
pressed in the ninth resolution of the
state platform of 1880: /" We look with
alarm and apprehension upon the pre-.
tensions of the great transportation COM
panies to be above the fundamental law
of this commonwealth which governs all
else within its borders, and until they
accept the constitution of 1873 in good
faith, they should remain objects of the
utmost vigilance and jealousy by both
Legislature and people," Any man who
aspires to a pace on the Democratic
state ticket may as well understand that
he must subscribe to the doctrine that
corporations shall subject themselves to
the fundamental law of the state, made
such by the votes of over hundred
thousand majority of its sovereign peo-
pie.
Meantime the people who are disturb.
ing themselves over what the Democratic
convention will do may rest assured that
the one thing it will not do will be to
allow itself to he controlled by
personal preferences or personal spites /;
nor will it he moved by threats
of those Who mean its party
bar n, nor yet he induced to Confer its

Baseball Notes.

On Saturday afternoon the Ironsides
baseball club and a nine from Middletown,
Dauphin county, began game on the
grounds of the Ircnsides club. \ good
sized crowd was in attendance, although
it was not nearly so large as that Mt the
college grounds. Four innings were
played and the Irousides had tho advan.
age throughout. When the rain stopped
the game the score stood 8 to in favor of
the Lancaster club.
The game of baseball which was to be
played this afternoon between the College
and IronsdeS clubs has been indefinitely y
postponed.
An interesting game is promised for to-
morrow afternoon, when picked nine
made uD of old ball players will contest
tho pain, with tho college athletes.

MONDAY EVENING, JUNE II. 1881.
The Iron Workers, Strike.

The cessation of iron manufacture by
the great Pittsburgh mills, has not thus
far shown deficiency in the supply of
manufactured iron, which sells at about
the same price as before the strike. The
price is firmer, however, and the strike
has served to halt it on its downward
tendency. 1t is very evident that the
iron workers made their demand for an
increased rate of wages at time when
the state of the market called rather for
a decrease. If they had not struck for
an advance they would probably
have had an early opportunity to strike
against decrease and when work is
resumed at Pittsburgh, it is very likely
indeed that it will be at concession
on the former rate OF wages. The mill
owners are in position in which they
are benefited by the forced cessation OF
manufacture, which was being pressed
beyond the wants of the consumers.
Their workmen should have been suiii-
ciently well.infOrmed to perceive their
evident situation. If the Amalgamated
association of iron-workerS is to be OF
any use to its members it should be otli-
cered by men who understand the iron
market and who can command the
obedience Of the association to
their views of its policy. l. does not
seem to be thus fortunate. One of the
vice presidents at Pittsburg is reported
in the New York Herald to have said that
it is the habit OF the manufacturers to
meet the demands of the workmen with
the assertion that the state of the trade
would not allow them to pay the rate
demanded q; but nevertheless when 4
strike takes place they generally concede
the advance. and SO show that they had
not told the truth. s. 1t may be, he said,
1--WE have demanded an advance just at
a time when they are really unable to
grant it: but how are we to determine the
question :" If the association 5 officers
cannot answer that question at any time
they are bat blind leaders of the blind.
1t is always in their power to ascertain
the cost price and the selling price Of
iron. and they need not depend upon the
statement of mill owners. They can
readily find out what the raw materials
cost, and they know what is the cost of
the labor which they themselves put
upon it. Only very stupid men indeed
would be at loss to determine 4 question.
the t!'ments in which are so simple
and so closely under their observa
tion. If the Amalgamated iron
workers want to get from their
employers the last cent that the profit
realized will afford. they should cleo:
sharper officers and lie willing 10 take
the advice they give them. Probably il
was the avarice and stupidity of the
members of the association this tim(
that led them to demand what they can
not get and perhaps it would be better
for the ironworkers if they were salts
fled when they were earning good wage:
and were not too Jealous to get all the.
could. They nave been getting a highe
compensation than any other craft o
workmen and one that not only support
ed them, but enabled them, if they wer'
prudent, to lay by Il good store ;n(
they should have been content.

THE Neu Era suggests that Lancaster
should follow the example of Philalel-
phia and have one police magistrate for
its population Of 10000, instead of an
alderman for each ward. The idea is
good one, and we have heretofore eX-
pressed our conviction that the admins
tration of justice throughout the state
would be greatly benefited by the substi-
tuition in each county of 4 small number
of salaried magistrates in place Of the
many justices and aldermen. The quail
ilications of such magistrates would, we
fairly hope, he greatly superior to that OF
the average justice of the peace. rs we
now know him. The Office would be
bo one of much greater dignity,
and would, if fairly sa!aried, attract
the ambition and reward the services of
a good class of men. Our suggestion
was that circuit court sitting in con-
venient places in the county ut. short in
tervals would be efficient. But it may
be rs well, or better, to have Il fixed
court at such localities. The matter
should be considered by the Legislature.
The evils of the present system are SO
obvious as to require some remedy.

party, irrespective of the "shrieks of

conclusion We have high hopes that it
will be one to commend itself to the good
Judgment and enthusiastic approval "f

THE eruditc New York San, having
been applied to for information as to the
great living orators of this country, dis
cusses a number of them, and whilo con
ceding the dccadeucc Of luscious o..story'
in Congress, it says "On the whole, VIC
should advise our correspondent, who is ia
search of a model orator, to study the
rhetoric and enunciation OF Wendell Phil
lips; to borrow, if he can, some of Col.
Ingersol's homely vigor and humorous
audacity; to analyze the platform art of
Beecher, and select with discrimination :;
to acquire, if possible, the earnestness and
the fancy Of O'Gorman; to SO to the mas,
terpieces of Evarts for sustained flow Of
language and the niceties Of digital ges-
ticulation to throw in, perhaps, :. dash
Of the Calvinistic vehcmcncc OF John
Swinton and to pay particular attention
to the strong Bible English of Judge Jere-
miah S. Black. If he succeeds in combin-
ing in his own style the several merits of
these orators, to the exclusion of their
faults, and then schools himself to open
his mouth in public only when hc has
something worth saying to deliver, he will
not have to go far to find the greatest
American orator." Besides these specified
in its summary the SIN finds Blaine Il
pleasing and not selfconscious orator,
Conkling effective and dignifed, Frye
stentorian, Tom Ochiltree and Senator
| Vance old fashioned Southern rhetorician,
Hoar Ciceronian and Phillips Brooks
colossal, impetuous and of too nimble
tongue. Has the Sun overlooked Rev. DR..
| StOrrs?

PROFESSOR KING, the aeronaut. has sub
mitted proposition to the bi-centennial
association for making one or more balloon
ascensions at the celebration in Philadel-
phia next October. 1t is just one hun
dred years since the conception of the bal
loon, and Professor King reasons that it
would be appropriate to signalize the
event by ascensions on that occasion. The
professor holds unshaken belief in the
ultimate success of the balloon in discOv-
ering the mysteries of atmospheric phe
romena and that ere long the tire use of
the air ship will be acknowledged.
Should his proposition be accepted by the
association he will construc: a balloon un-
equaled in size and convenience by any
hitherto made, and on the trip will be &C.
companied by representatives of the United
States signal service department, with
whose aid he will make observations and
experiments in view of gaining more
thorough knowledge of atmospheric per-
plexities.
