THE LABOR TROUBLES.
The Amalgamated Association Moves
Notes of the Strikes.


Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated
Iron and Steel Association at Chicago, Ill,
says they have adopted a resolution guaran-
teeing the manufacturers that they would
not ask an advance on the mailing and pud-
ding scale prices for five years. They
have not asked any guarantee of the manu-
facturers.
The striking driver boys from the Empire
and Hillenback mines at Willlesbarre, Pa,
met in Parrish Grove yesterday afternoon,
and adopted a resolution, demanding the
operators to allow them full time for any
part of days work If such time is allowed
to the miners. committee was sent from
the grove to the General Superintendent's
office, and a conference was held between
them and the operators, which lasted several
hours, but to no effect. Another meeting
between them will be held to-night There
are reasons for the belief that, if they do
not come to an immediate settlement the
strike will spread to the Plymouth, Ashley
and Sugar Notch mines, which cover all the
mines of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Com
pany operated by Charles Parrish " CO.
At the conference last night at Wilkes
barre, Pa, between the strikers and Parrish
Il Co, the time books were produced and it
was shown that during the month of July
~ days work had been lost at the Hollen-
beck and only eight hours at the Empire
mines. The operators refuse the demands
of the strikers, who, on their part are deter
mined to remain out until their grievances
are redressed.
As a result of the mass meeting on Thurs
day night at Cohoes., N. Y, the Executive
Committee of the Harmony Mills "stay
outs" claim a decrease of % in the working
force of the weavers and the promise of
more to quit work to-day. The decisive
struggle will be made on Monday. If the
force at work is increased TO any material
number the ranks of the strikers will be
broken. Contributions are now being re-
ceivcd from the Trades. Assembly, a judi
cious use of which inspires the strikers to
prolOng the strike.

Ignorance in Italy.
London Nature

From the Italian census of December 81 &,
1851, it appears that in % out of "a provin-

citizens of Udine had increased in such
knowledge at the rate of per cent, in

strange exception in 1871 there were 1880
persons ignorant of reading and writing,

3,l20 persons data are wanting to explain
this fact In the "a capitals of provinces
the average result is that a little more than

THE PEACH MARKET
And Short Chat Concerning Melons and
Apples.

Only In appearance the peach improved,
and to-day the fruit is still very hard and has
not the flavor of thoroughly-ripened ar
ticle. few Hale's Early are still in Mar
ket, but find few purchasers, as the Troths
and Early Yorks are making very much
better show. For looks, however, the Early
Reds take the palm and sell rapidly at 81 90.
Troths are being sold rapidly at $1.25 to
Sl.5O per crate and from 81 TO 81 80 per bas-
ket. Early Yorks are quoted at 81 to 81 80
per basket and are very much improved in
quality.
The farmers who are always to- be found
ON Fourth street during peach season, and
who come from New Castle county, find
that their fruit sells considerably slower
than that from down the State, owing to the
fact that their fruit is premature. They are
selling at prices ranging from 80 to rs cents
per basket, but their principle calls are for
quarter and half peeks, at 20 cents.
The farmers from this county are positive
that the dry weather is responsible for the
poor quality of the fruit, but further state
that II an orchard prematures once it will
invariably premature as long as the trees
stand.
Other fruit is found in abundance on King
street, from the collie cucumber TO the bilious
watermelon. Apples are selling rapidly at
80 and 60 cents a basket, for the Lippincot

for either eating or cooking.
Watermelons-of the Georgia stripe FAM
lily are selling rapidly and are considered the
best melon at this time Of the year. They
are being sold at prices ranging from 20 to
40 cents. The ordinary green melon is
making Its appearance, but as this is rather
early for them they find slow sale and are
not as satisfactory as the dealers might wish.
Mountain Sweets are booming and are Civ

ONE GOOD RESULT.
Chicago Journal.

1t is claimed that one good result of the
Independent Republican bolt in Pennsyl-
vania is. that much better class of men
than formerly has come to the front as
local candidates. The revolt against
Csmeronism and boss rule has opened the
eyes of the masses, and set them to think
ing more about public affairs and the Sc
lection of proper candidates for office.
EVene the machine men have taken warn
ing by the uneasiness and independence
everywhere manifesting themselves, and
have been more careful of their methods.
Moreover. it is quite likely that the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania have discovered. now
that their attention is called to the subject.
that the creation and installation of big
boss, Senator Cameron, inevitably begets
large crop of little local bosses, who
stand in the same relation to the county,
city or town in which they reside that the
big boss does to the state, and that their
dictatorial ways and insolent and over
bearing manner are all the more offensive
because of the insignifcance of the in
dividuals. These pestilent little fellows
are generally subserwient to the big fellow,
and do his bidding with willing alacrity.
They are so many cogs in the wheel that
turns the machine
The present distracted condition of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania is not
pleasant to contemplate, and there ought
to be some compensation somewhere. If
the present serious effort that is being put
forth to purify the general politics of the
State win have the effect to turn the PEG
pies attention to the necessity of reform
in their local governments as well, the re-
fiex action Of the anti-C Cameron revolt will
have saluaary and lasting effect upon the
commonwealth.
1t has not been prosperous year for
the bosses anywhere. Party obligations
sit more lightly npon people than former
ly, and they look upon all political organi
cations as simply the means to an end.
Whenever party fails to achieve benef
icent object, or to carry out the will of the
majority, or to promote the general well
fare the sooner it is abandoned the better.

The Henry county democrats are kicking
against the regular democratic Legislative
nominees, Seaton and O'Mara, and have
nominated Major FL. c. Connolly for sena-
tor and John w. Foy for representative in
opposition to them. Mr.. Seaton is a rock
rooted democrat and has edited the Cam
bridge Prairie Chief in Henry county for
years and years, doing persistent, hard
work for the party in good weather and
bad. Why any of the democrats of that
county should bolt his nomination for sen
ator is not intelligent at this distance. -
