The strike among the iron workers,
which commenced on the first of the
present month, has thrown an immense
number of men out of employment
Every rolling mill save one in and around
Pittsburg, Pa, SO in number, which were
in full blast the last of May, were silent
on the following day. 1t is said that
within 1OO-mile radius of a circle around
Pittsburg, 100000 men are in enforced
idleness. In Pittsburg alone $4,000 are
out of work The owners of the mills de-
clare that they will not yield to the de-
mands of the workmen. There are nine
mills in Cincinnati, Covington and New
port, which employ 500 with monthly
pay roll of $4,000; these also closed
down. A bare majority in society of
600 members voted to strike, and the re-
suit was to throw all these men out of
work. The strike takes in ST. Louis and
Chicago, and is the most extensive, alto
gether, ever before known. 1t comes at
an unfortunate time, that is, on falling
instead of a rising market Mr. A. S.
Hewitt, member of Congress from New
York, himself engaged in the iron bust
ness, but whose firm has never had any
trouble with their workmen, is reported
as saying:
The iron business is generally slack, except on
contract work For the staples of trade out
side of contracts, there is little demand. This
seems to be the most extensive strike ever at
tempted in this country. The result cannot be
beneficial to either laborers or employers The
strike is the result of the doctrine that protection
will insure high wages. II that doctrine is true,
the workmen are right; but it is not true that
protection insures high wages The contrary is
the truth. The reason is obvious If protection
makes a false stimulus and builds up business
beyond the legitimate demand, then there is no
market, and disaster is the consequence Our
own works are full of orders, and have no
doubt that the tendency of the strike will be to
make brisk work in all establishments east of
the Alleghanies. The men have struck upon
falling market instead of a rising market, and
the strike as it destroys capital, must be injur-
GUS. The men would have found more favor
able time to strike if they had waited for rising
market.

General Finley TO be his own
Successor

The shameless action of a partisan ma
iority of the House at Washington In
ousting General Finley from seat TO
which all honest men in the Second DIS
trict know and admit he was elected, has
called forth a general desire, we believe,
that he would reconsider his well under
stood determination to withdraw from
active politics at the end of his present
term and give his consent to the use OF
his name once more. The General has
given this consent 1t is meet and proper
that he should again be candidate. A
large majority of the people of that Dis
trict have been outraged in the person OF
their Representative Their clearly ex-
pressed will has been disregarded. A
man who has no sympathy with the Peo-
pie, with heart as cold as the winds and
ice of his native State, and nature as
vindictive as malicious, has been foisted
on them in place of the Representative
they had chosen. In the person of Gen
eral Finley this infamy should be wiped
out, as it will be in November, and il
Bisbee presumes to be candidate, as il
is hoped he will be, let him be buried SC
deep that he will never be heard of again
politically. And so we all.

ing IT,? The requirements in both cases
are the same. Take the Supreme court,
which il Mr.. Campbel's bete noir, his
black beast what is to hinder legis-
lating this tribunal out of existence and
submitting the question of abolition to be
voted on in thirty days thereafter ? This
would be too palpably unconstitutional,"
you say; "the power of the Legislature
cover amendments is limited by the Con-
stitution, which is the law of their being"
But does not the article of the Constitution
which restricts the power of the Legisla-
ture in the matter of amendments also
limit their power in the matter of institu
ting proceedings for the general revision
of the instrument? By what process of
reasoning can disregard of constitutional
requirements be condemned in the one
case and justified in the other? Is not
the limitation Of power in respect of call
ing Convention just as strong, just as
binding on the Legislature, just as ex-
plicit, as in respect of amendments?
But we will not now pursue the sub
ject further. We do not believe that the
Legislature, which is restricted by the
law of its being to certain forms in re-
commenting amendments to the Consti-
tuition or providing for the assembling of
a Convention for its entire revision, will
lend itself to measure full of untold
mischief to the best interests of the State,
or that the Democratic press will favor a
proceeding hazardous to the ascendancy of
the only party capable from intelligence
and experience of securing good govern
ment to the people

EIOrfda,a Claim.

A Washington dispatch to the Savan-
nah Ne'os, dated June 18th, says Cover
nor Bloxham, of Florida, is in the city,
stopping at the National Hotel. He is
here on business of his State. His pres
ence is due mainly to urging the claim OF
Florida for compensation in putting down
Indian outbreaks. He will present this
matter to the Appropriation Committee
in the proper light. A communication
of his on the subject, heretofore given in

Cured in the amendment and the measure

is fact worth mentioning that Mr.. Da-
wilson was the only Southern Democratic
member recognized by the Speaker on
the day when motions to take bills from
the table was in order. The editor of the
Fernandina Mirror, who was in Washing

passage of the billy he had to do two
things, first, to secure from the Speaker
an intimation that he would be recOg-
nized to bring up the bill, and next, at
that late hour, five o'clock, just at the
usual hour of adjournment, to keep
enough friends on hand to secure a
quorum and pass the bill. All of this
require active, sharp and genial work.
Personal and social relations, cleverness
in presenting and bringing up the subject,
readiness and good temper in meeting
objections, patience in overcoming OBJ
strnctions, all combine to get an appro-
priation." All these necessary qualitica-
tions, it is needless to say, Mr.. Davidson

President has CONTEMPORARY put bis
foot on the reformed system that Repub-
lican orators boosted had been hopefully
inaugurated,' and dispenses and admin
listers the offices everywhere as patronage.
Political assessments are openly made
by the congressional committee, with the
sanction of the President. Revenue
reform has been again postponed by
Sinking the responsibility upon a COM
mission that promises TO be fearfully and
wonderfully made in the interest OF con-
tinuation of the present system of clumsy
bounties to favored monopolies. The
policy of suspicion and sectional partisan
ship toward the South has been succeeded
by an impotent endeavor to build up a
personal party there on the basis OF the
federal offices. The education of her
1000, 900 of illiterate children, who are
soon to swell the crowded ranks of igno-
rant voters, is still neglected by the party
that enfranchised their race, while Its
leaders plot and maneuvre for delegates
to the national convention. Nothing Tor
which the independent voters strove and
hoped in 1880 holds any promise OF
accomplishment by 1884. The progress
has all been backward" The Herald
adds, in conclusion, that, " from the
present outlook, the only chance which
the Republican party will have to OBJ
tain the help of. the independents will lie
in selecting candidates who represent the
exact opposite of all the tendencies of
its present leaders"
