ANArrRACrIVE FEATURE,

The SUNDAY REGISTER publishes
this morning an article from the brilli-
ant pen Of Col. FRANK A. BURR, for
Inerly Of the New York Herald aud
Times, but at presents member Of the
Philadelphia Press staff In this sketch
of the life and characteristics of one Of
Whseling's most esteemed citizens, the
Colonel has further sustained his repu-
tation as an able and interesting writer.
The SUNDAY REGISTER will from
time to time give space to similar ar
tieles upon prominent men in our city
and State, which will be prepared by
talented writers. The series will form
one of the most attractive features of
the paper.

RAIDoF~HTRTING"THE PARTY.


In general survey of the Congress
siUnal nominations thus far made the
New York Times concludes that they
do not show much capacity in the party
machinery on either side to respond to
public opinion. "There isl it says,
"almOst nothing to indicate that the
managers in the respective districts are
aware of any current of public senti-
ment condemning the men and the
methods of the present House. Some
of the most eonspicuuusly Objectionable
men on both sides have either been
nominated already, or have made their
nominations practically secure" And
not only have the men who helped to
make the bad or the deficient record
been nominated, but there has been
very little question regarding their rec
ord, and very little attempt in the can
vaSs for the nomination to resist them
on the ground of their deficiencies"
In word, says our contemporary, "the
party machinery works entirely apart
from the real needs or wishes of the
community. Such agitation as has
shown itselfin the conventions has been
confined almost entirely to the single
subject of the river and harbOr bill, but
this, though it was the most obvious,
was by no means the worst of the meas
ures by which the present Congress has
won an i'll distinction. The appropria-
tons for public buildings were more cor
rupt and relatively more wasteful, and
were passed by more shameless and
complex log-rolling, than those for the
rivers and harbors, while the general
treatment of all the appropriations, de-
layed and befuddled as they were, was
to the last degree discreditable. Nor
this alone; the sins of omission on the
part of the House were numerous and
aggravated" And yet, as We pointed
out day or two ago. the machinery in
the different districts, almost without
exception, goes on turning out regular
nominations" for these incompetent or
unfaithful servants, and the voters con-
tinue to accept them rather than run
the risk Of hurting the party" by in
dulging in independent voting. How
much longer is this to go on? Is not
this year good time to set few better
examples?

A woman's Jaw Piles Ont Of Place, and
II Restored to Its Natural Position
by q Commercial Traveller,
TsTre Hdtlts Erpress.


A lady on the early morning Vandal-
Ia train going east yesterday met with
peculiar accident which, occurs very sell
dom. Aroased from her sleep by the ar
rival Of the train at the depot, she gap
ed, and in so doing the lower jaw slip
ped from It's hinges, so to speak, and re-
fused to go back in It's natural position.
Her mouth was very wide open, SO
much so that she was able to put her
closed hand into it, which she did In
her embarrassment when the crowd Of
passengers surrounded her. A physi-
clan was sent for, but on his arrival said
nothing could be done except that she
stopped over here for treatment. This
she and her husband and her mother,
who accompanied her, declined 70 do.
Meanwhile Large crowd collected in
and about the smokiBg-car, for they
were journeyiBg second-class. A trav-
cling salesman came to the rescue.
With that natural knowledge Of all AZ
fectioDs of the jaw, he proceeded to re-
Iieve the unfortunate lady from her
predicsment. He began rubbing
her jaws with the knuckles
of his bands, warning her, however,
that The treatment would be very pain
full. She withstood it, and in less than a
minute the jaw with q snap returned
to its normal position. The woman and
her family were provided with seats in
the first-ciass coach, and after the de-
lay of forty-seven minutes the train car
red them toward their home ip Eng.

WoRKISGnEN's PARADE.

Twenty thousand workingmen parad
al In the streets of New York the othe
day. Why? Was IL to demonstrste
that the number of manual laborers Is
large. and Of that number 3 considera-
ble portion has entered into some kind
of a union, having in view the mutua
protection and benefits of its members?
1t could scarcely be for either Of these
objects, for upon these p pints the public
Is in need Of no enlightenment. That
the laboring classic use an expression
whose convenience may excuse its lack
of descriptive preciSiOn-conStitute a
very large and extremely powerful
element of our social organization, istoo
obvious to need either proof or Illus
tration. That the formation Of trades
unions has gone on Of late years at a
very rapid rate, and that those associa-
tions have attained to such a numerical
strength rs must render them powerful
factors in the solution of the many
social and political problems with which
this generation Is confronted, IS q fact
which is very generally appreciated. Ii
was not necessary for the trades unions
to show their power by street parade.
They have displayed it time and again
In a more effective if not more reason
able manner. There is no disposition
in any enlightened quarter to belittle
the trades union movement or to ignore
the formidable nature of the weapon
which combination and cooperation
have placed in the hands of the work
ingman, Its Importance is undisputed
and indisputsble. and it contains posi-
bilities Of future development which no
intelligent and thoughtful man is likely
to under rate. 1t can very well afford
to dispense with the dubious and expen-
sive assistance of street displays.
. What, then, is the significance Of this
parade? 1t is another of the many in
dications which have lately been forth
coming Of the restlessness and discon-
tent by which the working classes are
at the present time possessed and
agitated. There is undoubtedly a feel
ing prevalent among both skilled and
unskilled wOrkmen that under the
state of things now existing, labor, in
some way or another, is being deprived
of its rights and dues. AS the feeling
grows-and it is growing all the time
it must inevitably lead to concerted
movements on the part of the laboring
classes to bring about favorable change
in the condition of affairs. Trades
unions have taught the workingmen
that they are strong in their numbers,
but how they are to Use their strength
with the greatest benefit to themselves,
is something they have yet to learn, and
it is to acquire a knowledge Of this
essential particular that they will find
it the part of wisdom to apply them
-selves-thoughtfully, eonservatiyely, in
tviiIgenTly.

Conversational Nominations

in Hamilton county is so near settlement
that there is no present interest in it, ex-
cept in the alleged race between Ex-Gover-
nor Tom Young and Ex-Collector Amor
Smith for the Republican nomination in
the second district. Young has made no
conspicuous effort so far, but is believed TO
be the strongest man, even without an ef-
fort. He doesn't appear to care tinker's
malediction whether he gets the nomina.
ton or not, and it Is possible he is only
keeping him self in the field with view to
higher honors in the future. Tom Young
has gall enough to aspire TO United States
Senatorship.

Hon. T.. Boyd Faulkner.

We observe among the correspondence of
the Wheeling REGISTER and among the
papers of this District, reference to this
gentleman as an aspirant for Congress in
this District. There is not, and has not
been, any foundation for this idea. When
he finished his career as State Senator'S
career which has reflected 50 much honor
upon him as an able and influential mem
Der of that body-he determined to give his
attention diligently to the business of his
profession, and for the present at least to
abandon politics His large and increasing
practice fully justifcs the wisdom of this
course, and after few years We trust he
may again forego the labors of his profession
in the service OF his State and of the people.

Mnrtinsburn Statesman.

The vacancy SHORTLY to exist in the repre-
sentation of this District in the House of
Representatives of the United States has
directed the public eye to this gentleman
as a proper person for the nomination at
the Piedmont Convention. We profess to
speak only on behalf of the Democracy Of
this county, and We can truly say, that its
Democratic sentiment is quite unanimous
in his support
We have heard but one expression, and
that is of the entire and absolute expedi-
ency of Judge Faulkner's nomination, emf
mating from both Hoge and Lucas men in
this county.
His charge for the last few years of the
delicate and important duties of Judge Of
this Circuit, has fully revealed to the pub
lie mind his high and remarkable qualities.
All concur that he has exhibited through
out his judicial course frmness and decis-
ion of character, strict impartiality, stern
integrity, freedom from all external inhu-
ences, indomitable industry and perse-
verance, ana high ability as jurist.
He is a man with the courage eminently
fitted to give effect to his convictions.
Such qualities are as serviceable to the
people upon the floor of Congress, as
upon the bench, and We have no doubt
they are fully appreciated by the people.
