WASHINGTON, June 13.-Carl Schurz
reports his talk with one of the cabinet
officers to-day, as follows: Things do
not seem to be going ahead. The
president does not seem to help as
much as he might He does not ap-
pear TO have any definite policy. There
ought never to have been a break in
Pennsylvania. 1t could have been
avoided by judicious management; but
not only was the break not prevented,
but there is talk Of even greater break
in New York sta.e. The trouble seems
to me to be that the president is too
fond of pleasure He gets up in the
morning about 10 o'clock. He receives
such callers as come. Then he gets
his breakfast, and before the day is
fairly started it is two o'clock. Then
there is cabinet meeting or some
other routine business to attend to.
Then he goes to drive. Then dinner
comes, and he always has a large
number of personal friends at dinner.
some of whom, am sorry to say, are
not ideal guests OF president. The
president goes to bed late and he gets
up, of course, late He does not pay
the close persona attention to the in
terests of the party that he should.
The truth is, he believes in the boss
system. He has two or three men ia
every state whom he consults, and he
leaves matters largely to them to de-
termine, and everybody except these
two or three men gets left. That is the
greatest trouble with the administra-
ton that | see. Arthur means we'll
enough, but some way he does not
help us as he ought to do; ard the
time is coming, in my judgment, when
the party may need great deal Of
help"

NEW YORK, June 13.-The veteran
republican journalist and politician has
created something Of sensation by 4
free and easy talk that he gave to some
club friends lsst night. Among other
things he declared: Il can't help think
ing that the republican party is at pres
ent in the position of the whig and
democratic parties st the commence
ment of Buchanans administration,
or, perhaps I should have said that
politics is in the state it was in 1856,
when Buchanan was elected. You
see, the Democrats had held the coun-
try, very much like the republican
party, for long period of years. Com
mencing with Andrew Jackson, they
had the country eight years, and then
twelve; and then they got the better
portion of Harrisons term, having
next Tyler and finally elected Polk,
who served out his four years. That
ma twenty years of almost continu-
Gus control, only emitting about year
when Tyler ran with the wings. The
Republican par ty had eight years IN
der Lincoln and johnson, eight
more under Grant and four
under Hayes, making also twenty
years. But as the division ofthe repub-
lican party began with Hayes admins
tration, so the division OF the democrat
ic party began with Pierce's. In both
cases the opposite party felt Its defeat
to be an irreparable one. The loss ol

WASHINGTON, June l2.-The audacity
of the protectionists of the east knows
no limit. On Monday last the house
defeated bill to give additional pro.
lection to woolen yarns which enter

that if the bill did not soon pass, all OF
their establishments would close, and
thousands OF men would be thrown out

Tilden threw the democracy into intes-
tinal quarrels, which powerfully told
upon the defeat of Hancock four years
latter. The election of Pierce, which
seemed to be all but universal victory,
was almost Immediately followed by
the division on the territorial question
resulting from the compromise meas
ure and the Mexican war. Pierce,
whose administration began brilliantly.
went out of Office more disappointed
than Hayes at the end of
his term. Nevertheless Buchanan
was elected, and so was Garfield. The
democracy united and recovered ground
IN 1852, and in 1856 they succeeded,
more by fear of the rising republican
party than by their own concord and
united principles. But the moment
Buchanan took his office a ferocious
quarrel began, led by the southern
stalwarts, at the head of whom was
Slidell. These stalwarts got into the
white house, operated on Buchanan's
fears, and finally bulldozed his cabinet,
one after the other.
The Blaine of that day was Stephen
A. Douglas, and the administration for
got everything in yindictive desire to
punish him. Whoever followed the
banner of Douglas in any state of the
union was singled out and subjected to
a political persecution, remarkably like
that which follows the half-breeds from
the stalwart cable around President
Arthur. The choice of the party was
Douglas. He was the choice of the
Southern people as we'll as the North
ern, but the politicians would not have
him. The purity and progress of things
here have always been facilitated BY
new party combinations. After the
federal party Of Washington had held
the country three terms it divided be-
tween Hamilton and Adams. and
brought in Mr.. Jefferson. His party
ran along to Monroe's administration,
when there was division on internal |
and manufacturing pro-
lection. Then Jackson appeared, to
combine the old federalists and the |
democratic masses against the bosses
and the othce-holding class, which had
run the country from Jefferson
down. The next division was
Id by by Calhoun and the
southern democracy against the boss
government of Van Buren, and the re-
suit was Polk, who was very pure
president. Then the whig party di-
vlded on the compromise measures,
and went out of existence. Finally |
the democracy divided and brought in |
Lincoln. Every one of these divisions
was beneficial to the prosperity of the
and there probably never was
q time when millions of the people
hoped for a new party coalition so
much as now, if only for change from
both parties"

The Strikers.

CLEVELAND, o., June 13.-When work
stopped tonight at the Cleveland roll
ling mill, a greater part of the hands
were put into railway cars in the yard
and sent down town. Perhaps IS. Bo-
hemians, who live in adjacent districts
were formed in line and marched be-
tween squads of police, numbering
about 80 altogether to the street cars,
one eighth of mile from the mill.
The streets were filled with people so
that the police had to clear the way for
passage. When about half way to the
cars the mob began lively fus;lade of
stones and cinders. Laborers were hit,
but as the excitement increased the
policemen were pelted as WELL Scarce
ly any laborer escaped being hit, and
many were severely cut and bruised.
Detective Lawrence, who undertook TO
arrest fellow who was throwing stones
was knocked down and brutally beaten
and kicked, but appears to not be dan

PITTsBURG, June 13.-Nothing trans
pired to-day to change the labor situa-
ton. A meeting of the steel manufac-
turers was held this afternoon, but no
action was taken that would have any
effect upon the present condition of
affairs. The general sentiment of the
meeting was against granting an sd-
vance and the opinion prevailed that
the iron manufacturers would hold out
until the Amalgamation association
succumbed. The striking coal miners
held large meeting at McDonalds, to-
day, and made arrangeme rents to go into
camp near that place, tomorrow.

ITS uNGENERous CRITICISMS.


New YORK, June 13.-A great deal
of comment has been occasioned the
past month by the T,fbune's attacks on
the president The Tribune rather un-
generously insists this morning that
the president does not get out of his
appearance of prevarication, and re-
marks: An administration which
makes itself Conkling's instrument
must expect to encounter not only the
feeling which followed Tyler, Fillmore,
and Johnson to their political graves,
but also all tie unpopularity which
Mr.. Conkling's own course has aroused.
The stalwarts who expect this of Gen
eral Arthur must believe him a very
bold man. 1t rests with him to show
whether they are right in attributing to
him much courage, and no prudence
or patriotism"
