Personal.

Denis Mullins, who is well known to
nearly every readsr of THE ENQUIRER,
has removed from this city to Grant sta
ton, on the South Park railroad, where
he has accepted the position of section
foreman. Mr.. Mullins will be sorely
missed in more places than one in this
city, where his manly outspoken words
have been always an incentive to the
honest, progressive toiler. The com
panv for which he has gone to work has
gained faithful, studious, sober and in
dustrious employe, and his working as
sociates a foreman with kind heart,
and who recognizes the rights of all
men.
The best wishes of THE ENQUIRER fol-
lows dear friend and hearty supporter
to his new home, with the hope that his
life may be full of the good things OF
which it is worthy. May it be my for
tune to have a few friends like Denis
Mullins always near me.

son, "Philip," heir to the estate. The
other aged "Royston," Jacks" and
phillips" uncle, has secretly married
some obscure creature, who dies and
leaves an orphan behind her in the care
of her grandfather; a dilettante bird
fancier, whose shop is in that part OF
London known as Little Queer street,
St Giles. This is the state of affairs
when the curtain rises, and we learn
shortly afterward that Jack" is in love
with "Gertie," that philip" has discov-
cred that "Gertie" is unknown to her
self, the heir-at-law to his uncle, her
fathers estate into possession of which
he has come, and that he proposes to
marry "Gertie" to make good his title
that Jack" is aware of who he ("Jack }
is. but, being fond of his gipsy life, does
not propose to declare himself and claim
his estate unless "Philip's" rascality shall
become too pronounced, and the story of
the play tells of "Philip" pursuing
"Gertie' in and out through the most
thrilling dramatic situations. The stage
effects produced in the play are certainly
bey and anything yet seen in this city.
Whether in the detail of the gipsy en-
campment or the old bird shop in st.
Giles, the beauty of the views of Craig's
Nest or or that of the landscape stretch
ing away beyond the Hampton race
course; the mGOnlit picture of the
Thames, or the well-conCeived realism
of the scenes of the shipwreck, the pro-
duction of "Romany Rye is certainly
deserving of all praise. The company
throughout is admirable, and the re-
markable play bids fair to make the
same sensation here that it did in Lon
don where Messrs. Brooks 4 Dickson,
the proprietors of the Standard theater,
secured it for America.

SuggeStiVe Snow.

Tha heavy fall Of snow on Wednesday
suggested that the time for laying aside
our summer hats had arrived. 1t next
occurred that something suited to the
occasion must replace them. Clayton
has just what every man and boy needs
in that way. He has Just received a
large and we'll assorted stock of winter
caps and soft hats, which are Of the best
material, latest styles and at the most
reasonable prices, Call and see the new
stock at the Bay Window Front, 2Sj and

Wanted.

A gentleman well known to the work
ingmen of the city has taken charge Of
a section on the South Park railroad ana
he wants ten good men to work for him.
His headquarters are at Grant statlon'
Wages paid are $3.50 per day; board

The English cotton trade being much
depressed, owing to so-called over-pro-
duction, the manufacturers wish to cut
down wages. The workmen say they
will resist this, but suggest that the fac
tories be worked upon shorter hours. it
seems to us that the workmen are cor
rect. If too much cotton cloth has been
made, work eight hours dav instead of
ten and the surplus will soon be con-
sumed; but to merely reduce wages and
keep on manufacturing, is foolish way
of trying to reduce surplus stock

Labor'S Royalty.

The tendency to regard labor as hu-
initiating and dishonorable is relic OF
the feudaI and barbaric ages, and a mis-
Interpretation of the Scripture that man
shall eat his bread in the sweat of his
brow" No doubt the original utterance
was curse pronounced upon SHINING
man but many of the divine curses have
been changed into blessings. Out Of the
ignominy of the fall man rises exalted
into the glory of heaven And out OF
the curse Of labor have come the greatest
achievements of the race. Man went
forth from the garden into deSOlatiOn
and waste. His hand and brain were to
develop whatever ol good he was to en-
10y. Hence. what the world is in all the
elements of convenience and comfort OF
luxury and pleasure, labor has made it.
1t is the true royalty. That of idleneSs
and caste was 1Or ages dominant. 1t Op-
pressed and ruined, made war and havoc,
lived in splendor, barbaric or civilized,
as labor progressed or was retarded. But
| through it all labor was steadily rising
1t dreamed Of rights and privileges, then
demanded and fought for and attained
them. And wherever successful it ad-
vanced civilization and ennobled the
race At last it came to terms with ctpl-
tai and intellect and in cooperation has
swept ahead, till ours is the royal age.
And this royalty is that Of labor
1t created sentiment adverse to sIa-
very, and this relic of barbarlsm fled
away. 1t has digntied itself till labor Of
brain or hand is lon"red. Fictitious
ROYALTY bestowS ON it marks Of favor, but
il needs not these. 1t drINcS into noun
tains, and minerals Of priceless value
puur forth. 1t puts on these its skill,
and they are transformed as with a ma
ricians wand 1t stirs the soil, and II
returns its wealth. Ont Of the crude 1t
brings forth refinement, beauty and
wealth. The pound Of cotton, worth ten
cents, is transformed into an article OF
apparel worth many dollars The iron
ore is smelted into iron, then trans
formed into steel, then tempered, until
the value of dollar is multiplied into
thousands. 1t builds our railroads, YES
sells, palaces. homes. Itmakes the deS-
ert to blossom as the rose And who
shall despise the skill of brain of hand
that does all this? Artificial royalty
clothes itself in luxury and lives IN idle
ness. ReaI royalty clothes the earth
with beauty and brings forth its choicest
treasures. II hands up to artificial roy
atty all it prizes ana enjoys in life eX-
cept the mere sentiment of royalty, Art,
science and skill are the children Of la
Dor. Genius without labor is erratlc and
inconstant. The achievements that live
are those of tail But as the diamond
encrusted with native soil or rock shows
forth roughness in place Of beauty, so
labor does not always wear its royal
garb. But the time is fastening when
it will put aside its rough material, aud
the Iapidarv Of its own skill will polish
and beautify it till its real luster is seen.
Then will the world bow down and
honor the royalty of labor.-Philadel-
phia Evening Call.

Victory No. z.

Last Friday yesterday week. the mes
senger boys of this city scored their sec
ond victory over the company. They
made demand for an increase of So per
month, and when it was refused them,
the force, with few trifing exceptions,
struck work. The boys were out less
than two hours, when they were in
formed that they would be given what
they asked. p.
One of the strikers had been arrested
on charge of interfering with one of
the messengers who remained at work.
The strikers demanded the release of the
little fellow, which was granted, and
the boys returned to their work.
Some of the older mechanics and
Iaborers could study with profit the
manner in which the messenger boys
conduct their strikes. There is this in
favor of their methods-they always
win.

TOO MUCH REVENUE.

With a treasury overlooking our repre-
sentatives at Washington are at their wits
end how to deplete its vaults. From pres
ent appearances any one who ever served
the local or geners government in any way
is 10 receive a pension. The list will be
made to embrace not only the soldiers and
sailors, but ex-Senators and ex-Congress-
men, and there is some talk of adding to the
list school teachers who, in our opinion, are
the most deserving.
But not once does it seem to have entered
the minds of our Anticipated representatives
that the greatest boon they can bestow upon
the country at large, is to remove the internal
revenue on everything manufactured in this
country, excepting only the tax on WHISTLES
and cigars; yet one-half Of the tariff on
these could be removed with safety in fact,
il | IS restrictive law was made thousands
of gallons of our domestic whiskey would
be exported, and foreigners would be drink
ing American whiskey rather than French
brandies. and American wines too, being
cheaper, would become fashionable in the
old world quite as much as French and
German wines are here. At all events, our
exports would balance our imports, if they
did not drive foreign importations out of
the market entirely.

II gentlemen will only stop the flow of
money into the treasury, they will have less
trouble in disposing Of its accumulations.
Such course would drive out thousands of
greedy revenue officers who could be dis.

FRANCE IN TROUBLE

France is again in a state OF ferment. The
great hand on the dial plate of destiny is
moving upward toward its meridian. The
disastrous effect which the death of Gam
BETA will have upon the peace and per-
manence of the French Republic is already
making itself felt. While he lived, the Bona
partist pretender, Plon Plon, would never
have thought it worth while to promugate
an incendiary manifesto, and had he been
foolish enough to do so, instead of the panic
and apprehension it has excited, it would
have been treated with derisive indifference
Though in retirement, after political over
throw which plunged him into the depths
OF humiliation, all France and all Europe
knew that Gambetta was leader who in
any crisis of domestic discord or foreign
war would lay vigorous and masterful
hand upon the helm Of the Ship of State,
and by reason of this more than any other
fact in the political situation, the petty
dynastic pretenders have been cowed into
submissive silence during period of more
than ten years
The body of the great tribune had scarcely
been placed in the vault at Nice, when every
nook and corner into which the Bourbons,
Orleanists and Bonapartists had retired was
alive again with the hum of preparation.
Silly and premature as the outbreak may
be regarded, it is not an encouraging sign
for the quietude of France that 80 absurd
performance should have produced such
panic among the Government Officials and
in the Assembly. The Americans would
have laughed at such a ridiculous move
ment, whilst the press of the country would
have opened a merciless fire of criticism. In
England Plon Plon would have been taken
before Police Court and stained with
petty fine. But the French government it
would appear has elevated his farce into
question of State, and seems likely to COM
nit blunder Of promoting his cause by
making martyr of him
1t is more than probable that France has
entered upon another troublesome period
period such as followed the death of
NJ Theirs and eliminated in the abortive
McMahon conspiracy TO turn the country
over 10 the Legitimists. The only thing
that can save her from it and ensure sta
bilty to the Republican institutions is the
rise Of another great leader to take the
place of Gambetta. The only one OF the
younger men who has shown any symp-
toms of possessing the requisite qualifica-
tons is Ciemenceau but he is tainted with
radicalism of the most pronounced type,
and his promotion might frighten the peas
ant voters, who really rule France under
universal suffrage, and who fear the "reds"
far more than they fear a monarchy or the
Empire. 1t is possible that the RESPONSE
blity of power might tame and steady
Clemenceau as it did Gambetta, and in this
perhaps lay the best hope of the French
Republic, and the sooner he or some other
competent leader comes to the front, the
better it will be for France.
