Promises-How Fulfilled.

There is at present a great strike
going on among the various kind Of
workmen in all parts of the country.
Perhaps the most extensive strike Is
among the iron workers, but it is by
no means confined to this particular
class of workmen the brickmakers,
the carpenters, the coal miners, the
weavers, and many other laborers fol-
lowing different kinds of trade, are on
strike, and the trouble is growing
and increasing in greatness and
strength every hour. The fact that
the strike exists calls to mind that in
1880, the day after the election in
Maine, in which Blaine and the Re
publican party went down, there was
n meeting Of the business men Of
Philadelphia, called by John Welsh
(said TO be n christian for the pur-
pose of raising money to be used in
the defeat Of Gen. Hancock, and Of
course the Democratic party. 1t was
alleged then and there and from that
day through the campaign, that if the
Democratic party were successful,
business would be ruined, laboring
men would be turned out of employ
mcnt, and want and distress and suf-
fering would be entailed upon them
and their families. The tariff would
be repealed, protection removed and
the well paid laboring man of Ameri-
ca would be compelled to compete with
the pauper labor Of Europe Notices
were posted by the employers through
the factories aud iron mills for the
purpose of controlling and influencing
the laborer in his vote, like this eve
vote for protection" others again,
warning the laborcr that if the Demo
Gratis were successful wages would be
reduced. These, with many other de-
vices, we're used to compel the laborcr
to vote against his honest convictions.
Immense sums Of money were raised
by the manufacturers Of Philadelphia
by the iron men Of Pittsburgh, and by
most every class and kind Of business
to avert the calamity, as it was said,
Of the election of the most brilliant,
upright and distinguished man Of the
age to the presidency. If our recol.
lection is right, the returns Of the
election of November, 1880, told Of
the defeat of Hancock and the Dem
ocratic party. Therefore, according
to the teachings of the Republican
party during that campaign the laborer,
no matter what kind of labor per
formed, should be we'll paid. There
should be no strikes, nor want. The
manufactures of every description
should be running on full time and
every man employed.

Lear is probably right, but his plan

good deal of unnecessary labor.

A Cameronian Gamo.

There is n rumor at Washington,
says the Harrisburg Patriot, to the ef-
feet that Minister Lowell is soon to be
recalled in order that Don Cameron
may name his successor. This is said
TO be part of the plan Of the admins
tration to secure the success Of the
Cameron state ticket. The admins
tration will claim great credit with
those who sympathize with suffering
Ireland for having removed Mr.,
Lowell, and it is 10 be given out that
this concession to the American land
lcagucrs was made at the instance Of
Don Cameron. Whether there i or
Is not any foundation for this rumor
there are signs that the Cameronian
leaders count largely on their ability
to make an impression on what Is
called the 1rish vote" They will
most probably fail in their attempt as
they have failed in similar efforts in
the past. The body of the Irish vote

Of foreign birth the democracy opposed

ton. Nevertheless there are black
sheep in every flock. The "Molly
Mcguire association was formerly
used by the republican ananagcrs to
augment their vote in the mining
! districts. The leaders of that secret
society were in the pay of the rcpub.
lican politicians for years and Jack
kcho had excellent reasons for de.
claring when the question Of his
pardon came up, that "the old man
(meaning the then governor Of the
state) conldn't 20 back on him" In
1873 large portion Of the immense
corruption fund raised to defeat Mr..
Dill was spent in keeping up the green.

expenditure the more effective, the
false charge was made that Mr.. Dill

A Burlington man recently welded a
Young wife. The lady became enthused
over Will Carleton's tale Of the elOpement

little note, stating that she had left home
with a gentleman whom she had dearly
he need not trouble himself to look for

arranging to return and hide where

dismay when he came to read of her
flight She, from her place Of concealment
saw him enter, saw him look all around in
surprise at her absence, and finally saw
him discover the note. He opened and
read it, while her heart beat high with ex-
citement in anticipation of the breaking
out she expected to hear.
The poor fellow finished the cruel mis-
sive, tore it up and threw the fragments on
the floor, and then, without . moments
warning, drew q revolver and fired point
blank at his breast, and fell without sign
of life to the carpet. With . terrified
scream, the woman was ut her husbands
side in . moment, lifting his head, rolling
him, shaking him, turning him, and hunt

hood, aroused by the shot and screams
came aocking in to learn of the excitement

aud then it all came out that the younger

The difference between a scoundrel
who kills a president and an honest
but too demonstrative a soldier who
attempts to kill the assassin of a presi-
dent, is well illustrated in Washing
ton. Guiteau is domiciled in a com.
Portable cell, with every convenience,
and some luxury. He is fed like an
OK in the stall, and is the object of
some sort of care and solicitude on the
part ofhis keepers. Mason complains
bitterly, and with good reason, of the
food and quarters furnished him by
the military authorities. and calls
their attention to the contrast between
Guiteau's fortune in this respect and
his own, but without effect.
The difference shows also in the
manner of the trial of the two men.
The judge-advocste announced at a
point in the proceedings where the
question became material. that he
would prove that Mason knew the
habits of Guiteau. Whereupon Mason
arose and said that he would clear
that, and that he did know. The
president Of the court peremptorily
ordered Mason to be silent, and silent
he was from that time forward.
