present signs indicate. will work as much
harm to the republican party at
the coming autumn elections as they de
rived advantage two years ago from the
universally prosperous condition of the
country. This strike cannot continue long
without working great harm and suffering
to an immense body of workingmen, for
its influence will extend far beyond the
particular line of iron working in which it
starts, and necessarily affect and damage
many of the intimately related industries.
Discomfort viii be widespread in the oper
alive population of the country and the re-
publican party, which is in full control of
the legislative and executive machinery. of
the national government, will have to take
the responsibility for the suferings of the
working classes. The party in power is
always blindly credited or blamed for all
the good and evil the country suffers, but
in this case the republican party viii be
justifiably held to account. They have
not been without warnings of the existing
troubles and the democrats in congress
have fought valiantly to induce the con
trolling majority to follow the only policy
that could have prepared the country for
the situation in which it now finds itself.

CITY PRINTING.

The Rock Islander succeeded in getting
away with the Union and ARGUS both
worse than the ARGUS, because it gave that
paper job at a price at which it viii lose
money. 1t was done through the aid OF
two republican voters and one democratic.
Whitman is said to have voted the way he
did as his share of contract entered into
before election, whereby he secured the
national votes; and what Henrys idea was
no one can TELL unless it was to secure
national votes for his proposed candidature
for sheriff. He may gain few national
votes that way, but as he will lose four
democratics to every national gained, it
can hardly be called winning scheme.

PARTY NOMINATIONS.

There is one thing that the ARGUS is
firmly opposed to, and that is these ''inde-
pendent candidate" announcements. A
man that has not strength of mind and
fixed purpose enough to belong to one
party or the other, is not fit man to hold
Office, and man who is not willing to go
into his party convention and abide by
from that party. For the coming cam
peign the democrats expect to, and will
nominate good and suitable men. Let all
the aspirants for office abide the action of
the convention.

that they can't tell which to treat as the

much conflict over the question that the
attention of the government has been
drawn to it. Mr.. Bright gave the army

AMERIcAN SECURITIES.

Advices from England go to show that
the news of the extensive strikes in the
American iron trade has produced de-
cided scare in the market for railway Sc
curities. The most gloomy antieipations,
it need hardly be said, are set afioat by the
press some writers confidently affirming
that the strikes may last for months, In
city circles the word is being passed around
that everything American ought to be sold
Immediately, the loss of confidence being
now complete.
Following, as it does, upon long peri
cd of depressed prices, the strike cannot
fail to exercise the most injurious influence
upon the entire market

PERUVIAN MATTERS.

/ Even if there had been no Peruvian
company or. bad odor of the guano mixed
up with the South American policy of the
United States, our position regarding the
American republics would still be very
unpleasant one. This is apparent from the
tone of the South American press when
ever the subject is alluded to. The
Buenos Ayres Herald, after discussing the
Monroe doctrine and our assumptions
under it, says so far as we understand
American politics and its policy with re-
gard TO America, it has been that the
United States would undertake to set itself
against the policy of conquest as a redress
for international disputes. This and only
this would present a solid opposition to
the possible extension of European terri
tory in America. If, for example, Chill
and Peru being at war, conquest of terri
tory were to be permitted, with what pre-
tence could a protest be made against
Spain, if, for an offence committed against
Cuba, Spanish colony and, as the result of
avictorious war, a slice of Central America
or Mexico were to be demanded as a war
indemnity? If Chill may take slice of
Peru, and the United States confesses it
is none of her business, why might not
Great Britain, in war with New Granada,
take the Isthmus of Darien? There is no
tenable middle ground of possible occu-
pancy." After further stating its views as
to what the United States must do to re
tain the confidence of the South Ameri-
cans, it goes on to say that in recent Pa
cific coast affairs we have contradicted all
our pretensions and placed ourselves in a
most "unseemly and humiliating situation.
It holds that the ignominious surrender of
principle, after twice intervening, has lost
the United States all prestige and influence
in South America. It declares that in the
light of her course between Chill and Peru
it will not be tolerated that any guardian
ship of such character shall be exercised
over American affairs. 1t also adds: 1--WE
can also assure American statesmen that
Independent American states will feel
fully free to invite European Intervention,
in the interest of civilization without mott
ficatiOn to the great republic of the North.
The despoilment of Peru will be laid at
the door of the weak and vacillating pol
icy of the United States"

California fruit-growers are alarmed

California fruit-growers are alarmed at
the discovery of what is called the tblack
knot disease" in the wild cherry trees in
the Yosemite valley and also in Oregon.
The disease first makes its appearance up
on a limb, rupturing the bark and spread
ing rapidly till the tree is killed. 1t has
in several cases gone through whole groves
of wild cherry trees and killed them ALL
it is feared that should it get into the
orchards is would prove very destructive
and perhaps prevent the culture of plums

means of little spores, eight of which are
set free from every knot by the rupture of
the bark,

of her house are more precious than many

cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and rniasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it SO perfectly and

PRETTY THINGS.
| Women Who Blindly Follow Fashion
/ Leaders and w omen Who DO Not.

Leaders and Women Who DO Not
From the Hartford Times.
| There is an utter absence of the arts
tic element on the dress of fashionable
New York society. It is strictly COLI
ventional, very French, often pretty and
graceful, though not always, and some
times very costly, but never original.
Nothing is worn that madame, the
modiste, does not approve of-and in
fact it cannot be otherwise. The life OF
the rich, or those who live in fine
houses and have a numerous retinue OF
servants, is so ordered for them that
they cannot depart from the routine,
and as their food is what the cook and
house stewart see fit to provide, SO their
clothing is according to the ideas of Mr..
Tailor and Madame Dressmaker-not
their own, for ideas are troublesome III
polite society, and it is easier to get on
without any.
1t is not in what are called "high''
circles, therefore, that one is to look for
the picturesque, or strikingly original.
These, if at all, are met with in profess
sional circles, or art receptions, in pic
ture galleries and informal "at homes"
At recent opening ofan art exhibition
there were number of striking toilets,
which were simple and not at all costly
but impaired immense distinction to
the wearers. a Nandyck collar and
hat with plumes surmounted a costume
of dark green cloth and velvet, with a
girdle of thick cord which caught the
draperv on one side. There was a
moyenage dress Of garnet velvet, and
one "Early English" this last was
worn by Miss Kate Field,) the pulled
sleeves, the belted bodice, the straight
skirt and pleated tulle neck erchief
(making only rim inside the neck Of
the Dress being all produced with eX-
actness. OF course on such an occasion
historical or other ideas are not carried
out through the entire costume, for that
would look like masquerading, bat
there are artistics bits and a freedom
from theformaliSm of the usual assem-
blages which make them very much
more attractive.

THE TRIAL OVER.

1t is indeed a relief to know that the
trial of the assassin OF our honored
President has drawn to close. AS
gratifying to know that the law of
the land will surmount absurd assump-
tons put forth to shield wretch who
strikes down the head of the Nation.
With the memory of GARFIELD fresh
in the minds of his cOuntrymen, the
patience of the people has been sorely
tried by the protracted trial Of the
assassin. All things considered, the
trial could not have been conducted
otherwise. But it was humiliating to
every American citizen to read from
day to day the vile insults offered by
the prisoner to his betters. With the
close of this trial the plea of insanity
has run it's course. 1t is but cloak to
shield from punishment the coward
who has no just ground for defense.
A premeditated action, such as was adj
United by the culprit, is not insanity.
The unfortunates in the asylums of our
country are not Of his stamp. The
eliminating crime Of the assassin was
but the outcome Of criminal nature,
made more corrupt by disreputabe
life, the same as any other criminal
ANY one who has followed the testi-
mony during the trial of the convicted
slayer cannot but believe he was sane
prior to ard at the commission of the
deed. The attack made by Scoville on
Arthur and Conkling, in his speech to
the jury, was serious blunder of iudg-
ment, and wholly inconsistent with the
theory of the defense, which was in
sanity. How absurd to presume the
prisoner insane if Arthur and Conkling
were instigators of the crime. There
can be but little hope of new trial,
as the widest latitude was allowed the
defense, and the business in order now
is the passing of sentence.
