little too much whisky aboard this fore.

oranges and throwing the bulls on the
floor Of tho p. II. Il. passenger depot.
When demonstrated with by Officer Kautz
he told him to go somewhere, and said
that in Jersey he could cat oranges when
and where he pleased. and he intended to
do SO here. Officer Burns was called in,
put the nippers on him and took him to
the lookup, and thence to Alderman Nc
Conomy's, where he refused for time to
pay tho costs. declaring that in the state
of New Jersey such an outrage as tining a
man for eating oranges and swearing a
little would not be tolerated. He would
rather 60 to Jail than be cheated in that
way. A sight of tho nippers, however,
brought him to terms, and he paid up and
was discharged.

until members are masters of their own

THE coal miners at Pittsburgh have
struck and the iron workers are going
to. Now for Senator Wallace's arbitra'
tion bill. We greatly fear, however
that it will not be adequate to this occa
sion; at least it will hardly operate III the
iron strike. The fact is that cessation
of iron-making is expedient. The supply
exceeds the demand. Under these
circumstances it will pay the mill owners
to stop work for while. The workmen
may also think that it will pay them to
quit working in the summer in the ex-
pectation of making more by their labor
in the fall, when the call for iron will
induce the mill owners to accede to Their
demands. With this mutual idea of the
advantage of strike there is little
chance for arbitration to avoid it.

intellectual culture, what the wealth
Of field or storehouse without
the royal citizenship of educated
men and women He made q clear ex
position of the school system of Pcnnsyl-
vania, which contcmpiates the local self
management of the schools, throwing
upon the directors and the community
which elects and supports or fails TO sup
port the directors, the responsibility for
the condition and the work of the great
army of nearly a million boys and girls in
the common schools of Pennsylvania.
The support and wise direction of these are
of vast political interest as con-
serving the diverse natiOnalties and
foreign interests constantly pour
ing in upon us to influence our
citizenship, the children Of which could be
moulded by our common schools to
the genius of American institutions. They
are Of great literary interest, because with.
out literature there is no great national
development and without an educated
common people there is no literary
development; tho glories of Greece
and Rome and England wore in
their Homers and Pindars, Virgils
and HOraces, Chaucers and Shakespeares
and tho South was pointed to in illustra-
ton of the argument that even ripe schOl
arship and learning in individuals availed
nothing to literary development without
a great substratum of common education
and popular culture where there are none
to read there will be none to write, and if
the Southern LongfelOws and Whit
tiers and Bancrofts have not yet
arisen, it is because of tho pre-
vailing popular ignorance there. The
common school interests are of great re-
ligious and moral concern and they are
the foundation of all higher education

OUR attention has b. en- called to the ar
rsngements recently peritced by the manu-
fscturers of gunny Bsgging for the 'pooling
of their issues" They have sgreed to "cur-
tail production and govern prices in such a
manner ss TO tqualize the interests OF the
large and email manufacturers" and 10 that
end have established the following rates un-
til further notice: Eleven cents per yard for
two sud one quarter pound bsgsing; ten
and one-qusrtsr cents for two pound; nine
and one-hslt cents for one and three quarter
pound; nine CENTS fer one and one-half
pound. On the fist Of every month each
mill is required to reTort the amount of It's
sales, the statement being duly sworn to be-
fore a notary public, and to remit TO the
commission in New York City perez ntsse
per yard on tbe sales reported. This money
is apportioned, pro rata, among the various
mills, each receiving its equitable percentage
of the aggregate amount. The effect Of this
system will be TO maintain uniformity OF
prices at the expense Of the eotton-plsnter,
and all olheTs who are compelled 10 use bag
ging, and to destroy the competition that is
the life of trade. This is monopoly in Its
worst and most exsctlng form, and emansting
from the source it does is fine commentary
