THERepublican majority in the House
being small, it is important to the party
interests to increase it rs speedily as pos
sible by the admission of such Republi.
cans as are contesting Democratic seats.
But it is not easy to understand why
the haste should be SO great as to cause
a refusal to permit the election commit
tee to examine into charges of for
gerry of the testimony made in the
Mackey-Dibble case on the Democratic
side. Whether these charges were true
or false, the fact that an inquiry into
them was demanded by all the Demo-
cratic representatives should certainly
have secured it from an honest majority.
The unscrupulous vigor with which the
House is being purged of Democrats, so
far as possible, gives color to the sus-
picion that the Republican leaders are
contemplating schemes of legislation
which will require for their success all
the party strength they can muster.
Judging from the character of these lead
ers and the evidences of extravagance
which this Congress has already given,

A Farm House RODbed-Wcre tho Jail bird
About!


Sometime during Tuesday night Or
Wednesday morning thieves visited the
house of Martin Il. PETER, farmer, who
lives on the Harrisburg pike, 4 short dis
tance west of SaIunga. They took with
them gold watch worth $lOO, belonging
TO his son Nj. &. PETER, and bearing his
name lot of provisions, coffee, sugar,
bread, etc. Mrs. PETER who is not in good
health usually drank beer to better it.
The thieves got hold of 4 number OF bot
ties and took care Of it, and two gallons OF
old rye whisky which Mr.. PETER had
bought the day before. The robbers were
greedy enough to take all the coffee and
in the morning the family was obliged to
purchase some for breakfast. Mr.. Peifcr's
son went for tho evening paper and sat up
late reading it. During tho night Mr..
Peifer heard Il noise, but thinking it was
his son going to bed, he paid little attention
to it. 1t is not known exactly how an
entrance was effected, but is thought they
got in through window. They were in
the cellar and tracts of bare feet are plainly
visible ON the damp floor Suspicion rests
on persons living in tho vicinity. A re-
ward of $50 is offered for the arrest oi the
thieves and the return Of tho watch.

No Benefit to the Strikers.

The great strike of the Pittsburgh
iron workers takes place to-day, and the
interesting question is as to which party
will take the benefit of the motion. The
workmen generally are said to believe
that the manufacturers will speedily yield
to their demands, and no doubt they do
think so, else they would not strike for
them. The president of their association
is said to he far less sanguine and to have
used his influence TO stay this movement
of the Amalgamated association: Upon
the surface it appears to have been
quite unjusti6able. It is not alleged
that the workmen are not getting
very good wages, and that no neces.
sity forces them to demand more. 1t
is simply demand for greater
reward for their labor by men solely JUS
tilted by their belief that they can get it.
If they can, perhaps they were sensible
to demand it; if they can't, they Ger
tainly were not. The time they have
chosen for their essay does not seem to
promise it a very brilliant result. The
Pittsburgh manufacturers can afford to
shut down their mills at the present
cost of iron, for there is no great profit
in it and if all the mills continue to
run the probability is strong that the
market price of iron will sink below its
cost. A stoppage of the mills will,
therefore, strengthen the market and
bare the country of its stock of
manufactured iron and make it ready
to take it again at a good profit.
But while it thus pays the mill owners
to cease operations it is not easy to see
how it equally benefits the operatives.
The mills being closed mainly at their
expense they will he benefited if when
work is resumed the profit upon it en-
ables the manufacturers TO pay them
greater wages, but they will need to work
a good while to make the increase pay
what they have lost by their idleness.
AS the strike looks to higher prices
for iron, some people suspect that it
takes place in pursuance of an under
standing between the manufacturers
and the Amalgamated association but
we do not understand that this is the
case.

The Kind They Want.

1t no doubt pleaSeS and treasures the
Stalwarts to have their opponents revive
the stories of Don Cameron's stubborn
ness with which the newspapers are be-
ing garnished nowadays. What the
Stalwarts want in their leadership is
pluck. If they lower their flag the In
dependents will trample upon them with
out mercy. 4 very brief term of Mr..
Blaine showed that he and his faction
were willing to exercise their power as
remorselessly as the Stalwarts and the
Cameron COnkling faction expected
when Arthur succeeded that their day
had come. 1t is no secret that in New
York and Pennsylvania the friends of the
president were becoming very restless
at what they considered his tardiness in
manifesting appreciation of their merits.
He was turned out of the New York
custom house by Sherman and Hayes,
not because he was a practical politi-
cian," but because he exercised his Office
against their friends. 1t was not ex-
pected by any politician that when he
had Il chance to get even with the Half
Breeds he would decline to avail himself
of it. The more voraciOus of his faction
have been impatient with him, but the
astute leaders knew that he only bided
his time. 1t has come and the Regulars
are well satisfied that the situation in
Pennsylvania affords him excuse for
putting none but of their kind in office.
That Cameron and the president are
not to be driven from their position by
threats will give fresh courage to the
Stalwarts. One of the stories related of
the young senator's course in the Bucka-
lew campaign is to the effect that de-
termined effort was then made to force
Don's candidate, Hartranft, off the
ticket and that at a meeting of Re
publican leaders called in Philadelphia
to consider this, even his father, Simon
Cameron, and his brotiler-in-law, Mac
Neagh, were present:
Don Cameron appeared at this critical
time. He said substantially: "GentIe-
men, know what you are here for.
propose to take the floor for three minutes
without interruption and to leave it with
out reply. Your purpose is to tako this
gentleman, Mr.. Hartranft, off the ticket
and put some one else on. l came here to
tell you that, by the Eternal, il you take
him off and put this gentleman on (point-
ing to his own father), will beat him. If
you take Hartranft off and put my brother
in.law Oh, by all the gods. I will beat him.
If you take Mr.. Hartranft off aud put any
human being on, swear that SO sure as
the day of election comes the Democratic
candidate shall be elected. Keep Hartranft
on the ticket aud will elect him. Gen
tlemen, good hight. shall take the next
train for Harrisburg"
Such "reminiscences as this will not
discourage the Stalwarts.. They depend
for success this year on bold and despcr-
ate men, who want assurances of Cam
eron's determination and of his willing
ness to stand by his friends. The more
they have of this the better they will
work. But it is lik ely that the time has
come when the people of the state will
not allow these people to prevail.

Tho MlsfOrtunes OF Some Crack shots.
J. r. Rutter, proprietor of the Cross
keys hotel in Intercourse, is also the owner
Of four acres of land in the western end of
town facing on what is known as Grab
alp street. Part of this ground is planted
in corn and the neighbOrs chickens were
making sad havoc with the crops.
Mr.. Rutter employed John Hall, an old
marksman, to watch the field, with orders
to shoot the fowls. With high cxpecta
tiohs of pOt-pie for dinner, John drew
bead on the first hen that entered the field,
fired and wounded her. While trying to
catch the crippled bird, some miscreant
stole the splendid double barrelled gun
which John had thOughtlessly left stand
ing at the road. The fowl was not cap
tnred and John returned minus the gun.
Not TO be outdone Mr.. Rutter employed
another crack-sh from tho eastern end of
town who is blind of an eye, placing in his
hands a long single barreled gun heavily
loaded. He went on duty at O'Clock in
the morning and at 5 o'clock there was a
heavy report and three hatchers and one
rooster who accompanied them az a guard
lay dead Oh the field. While gathering up
the dead birds this gun was also taken and
at this writing neither Of them have been
recovered. 1t is thought the last gun was
taken in q Joke. A reward Of SO is offered
for the double barreled gun and s., for tho
single one.
