Rnu's Cave at Harper's Ferry.

Work is rapidly progression on the
interior Of Rau's cave, the new sub
terfanean wonder, at Harper's Ferry.
Last Tuesday u Wheeling Register
reporter had an interesting chat with
Mr. G.. A. Beuter, one of the owners
of the cave, who had received recent
information from there. Rau's cave
is in Prospect Hill about mile above
Harper's Ferry. To reach it at pres
ent, one must 90 to Harper's Ferry
and take the road over Bolivar Heights
making short and interesting drive.
1t is supposed the hill is honey
combed with caves, connecting with
each other, and in this series new
discoveries are being made every day.
Rau's cave consists of three principal
caverns, occupying a space over 3
mile in length. Work is now being
done on corridors to connect them, and
of such height as to render passage
from one to- another easy and pleas
ant. The distance is ITO feet, the
caves lying alongside of each other
These caves are crystal caves, sim
liar to that at Luray, and the effect,
when brilliantly lighted, is grand and
striking. AS usual there are bridal
chambers, Gothic cathedrals, echo
caverns, art galleries, crystal palaces,
and so forth, besides numerous pill
lars, columns and domes, without
number. The stalagmites and stall
actites assume all sorts Of grotesque
and beautiful forms, and from Mr.
Beuter's account, the cave must be a
thing of beauty and joy forever.
AS soon as the cave is ready for
visitors, which will be about the end
of July, the b. u O. authorities will
erect depot at the spot and make it
first-class statien.-.Spirit Of JEFF

Considering how certainly and Sc
curely it would land the man who
was lucky enough to carry Ohio into
the republican nomination for presi-
dent, it is singular that nobody can
be found who really wants the nomi-
nation OF course the field is full of
people who would regard the nomi-
nation as lofty honor. Almost
every young lawyer in the state, and
many an old bne, would like to have
it as an advertisement. We are
speaking of men who would be rea-
sonably expected to aspire to be gov
ernor Of great state like Ohio. To
run and be elected gives the success
full man sure thing on the nomina-
tion for 1884. John Sherman would
rather be president than to be right,
and there is but one thing keeps him
off the ticket. To be defeated is the
end of all hope for the nomination in
1884 for the man who is defeated.
The loss Of Ohio this fall does not
necessarily prevent the nomination
Of an Ohio man, provided Ohio has
strong man left, and Mr.. Sher-
man admits that he is the strongest
man in the state. -yers Journcl

An Iron Strike Averted.

No more welcome news to all
classes could possibly have been
promulgated than the assurance CIV
en- last Thursday that the threatened
labor troubles at Pittsburgh and
other points had been amicably adj
justed. The prospects for some
time have been gloomy, and happy
solution of the difficulty, even at
the last day, in the afternoon, will be
greeted with general expression of
rejoicing.
The manufacturers, after a care
full review Of the whole situation,
concluded to sign the scale of last
year and continue another years
operations under its provisions. The
workmen will naturally claim this
concession as victory for their or
ganization, and will have the best of
reasons for continuing their labors
with a hopeful, contented spirit.
The fact that the employers were
willing to enter into such a contract
will be accepted by the public at
large as an Indication that the out
look for the iron and steel trade in
the future is better than was antici-
pated. This will tend to give much
more hopeful and buoyant tone to
business generally, and the whole
community will join in congratula-
tions over the happy solution of the
threatened difficulty.
The causes which finally led the
mill men to accede to the working
mems demands were evidently two
fold. First, of course, was the gen
eral desire to pay the laborers as
literally as the circumstances would
allow, for the assertion that capital
lists are soulless and are ready to
pinch their employees to the lowest
possible cent is not borne out by the
facts. The second factor in the
present adjustment was doubtless the
fear Of the loss of trade which when
once diverted into new channels
would be hard to recover. There is
much force in this view Of the case,
especially in the face of the fact that
new enterprises in these staples are
spreading rapidly in the South and
West. 1t is better to hold an estab-
lished trade at very small profits than
to allow it to fall into other hands at
the risk of never being able to re-
gain it. &
1t is possible that other causes
may have contributed to the speedy

The application of S. P. McCor-
mick for the collectorship Of this dis
trict, according to the Evening Jour
nal, has been withdrawn. The OPP
position it seems was getting rather
warm for Mr.. Mccormick and so he
concluded to withdraw before the
matter got any worse. While OF
course it is all well enough as far as
the present collector and his friends
are concerned, it indicates a weak
ness. on the part of Mr.. Mccormick
that is no credit to him, and that in

The fight over the Revenue Collec-
torship of the Second district has
gone from words to blows. Mr.. S. p.
Mccormick, having been told that
he was liar by E. G. Jeffreys of the
Sentinel, proceeded to let him have
right handler on the nasal organ
causing copious flow Of clarct. Mr..
Jeffries very sensibly did not at the
time resent this brutal assault, know
ing full well that the sympathy ofthe
people would be with him, for in call
ing Mccormick a liar it seems that
he told the truth. 1t is fine state
Of affairs indeed when q man who
aspires to political prominence stoops
to the prize ring method to avenge
his injuries. 1t is much to the credit
of Mr.. Jeffreys that he was brave
enough to abstain from blows and
let the sympathy of.the people be his
revenge. Meanwhile we suppose our
republican brethren will let these lit
tie brcezes blow till they exhaust
themselves, and by the time another
campaign is at hand every thing will
be patched up in the interests Of
''harmony," the lion and the lamb
will lie down together and all will
join hands in their great mission, the
overthrow of the triumphant Democ-
racy.

New YORK, May 31.-About A
O'clock yesterday afternoon there oc-
Cured at the new bridge one OF those
notwithstanding accidents that al
ways attend panic stricken crowd.
For some reason the crowd on the
New York side stopped its motion,
caused, 1t is said, by the amusing eff
forts of a man to recover his hat that
had blown from his head. But the
pushing crowd that was trying to get
on the bridge did not stop. This
made a jam. Women began to faint.
children to scream and men to yell
trying to inform the pushing crowd
of the stoppage. A panic was soon
created, and men are worse than
wild beasts when they lose their wits.
To relieve the pressure the bridge
officials removed some of the iron
palings near the stairway, the worst
thing they could lYave done, as it left
the crowd near the oper ing no means
of resisting the pressure. Soon the
people began to fall through the
opening; the distance of the fall, only
some six or eight feet, was not of
itself necessarily any serious cause
of alarm, but those who jumped or
were pushed off had not time to pick
themselves up and get out Of the way
until others were pushed on top OF
them, and the result was the human
mass was piled up several feet high
before the panic could be stopped
Those underneath were crushed to
death, many Of them being mangled
beyond recognition. The exact num-
Der of killed and wounded is not
known, as the ambnlances carried
them away as fast as they could be
got out. The killed will number not
less than fourteen, and a much larger
number was wounded.

From the Richmond State

The election returns continue to be
favorable to the Democracy. Only
two counties have been lost, whilst
Gloucester, whose vote was thrown
out by the State Board of Mahoneites
last fall, is now sure, and Matthews,
New Kent, Charles City and Essex
have been added to our list of sixteen
counties as given on Saturday. Thus,
without counting Gloucester, we have
redeemed twenty counties, making
gains in many others, and suffering
losses in few. So far sufficient
evidence has been given to sup
port the belief that if State ticket
had been in the field the Mahoneites
would have been badly defeated. s

The Democrats ON the Tariff.

When three such men as Bayard
Of Delaware; Black, of Pennsylvania,
and Mcdonald, of Indiana, coincide
so nearly, and that by accident, as to
the true ground for the democratic
party to occupy, and give such ex-
cellent reason therefor, it will be well
for the party to consider the question
very narrowly. The fact is not con-
elusive; it is only persuasive in SO
far as it goes with other facts. We
do not attach great value to the opin-
ion of any man. His is most valu-
able whose opinion is careful read
ing of the opinions of masses of men.
But circumstances render the opin-
ions of these gentlemen especially in
structive
Mr. Mcdonald is from state
which is said to have been lost BY
the tariff issue, and Mr.. Voorhees, of
his state is almost the only promi-
nent Western protectionist. Mr..
Mcdonald is too prominent presi-
dental candidate to speak lightly
about so grave an issue. Senator
Bayard and Judge Black stand where
the shadow Of the EXTREMIST demo-
cratic and repa blican protection opn-
ion falls upon them, and they are
both too practical to utter mere theory
against all probability of realization.
They must have some reason for their
views thus Co speak out where Kelley
and Randall coincide, and upon a
matter as to which Wallace and
Randall forget their personal hos
tility far enough to agree in opinion.
Their significant point of argu-
ment is that, under the constitution,
property cannot be taken for boun-
ties to individuals or for any public
purpose without due compensation.
This is perhaps rather technically
stating the proposition that no pow
er in the constitution can or should
be used for any other than the end
for which it exists. But Mr.. Bayard
strikes the issue most centrally when
he refers to the national scandal ex-
hibited by the special advocates Of
local and special interests, and by
the lobby in the last congress. When
the general revenue policy Of the
government was made subservienl
to logrolling policy and a conten
tion between local and special in.
terests, far step was taken toward
demonstrating the wickedness oil
that extreme protection view which
gave rise to such scenes. If this has
been allowed to pass out of the public
mind, it has been because the poll
ticians have been too timid to press
it, and too weak to give the public
credit for sound common sense. The
end has not been reached rs to this
matter, and politicians will do well
to observe it. just now the protec
tionists are taking great comfort out
of the timidity of those who believe
in conservative and wise placing
foremost the revenue idea in laying
the imposts, but it tends toward put
ting new face upon affairs, that
such men as Bayard, Black, and Nc
Donald speak out boldly and clearly
