VARIOUS vlgws,

The persistence with which workmen
refuse to accept the opinions OF manu-.
acturers Is somewhat remarkable. Said
an iron worker last evening: ~ think
ailthere Is In the suspension Of work Is
that times are dull and there Is no de-
mand for iron. Assoon as the market i'm.
proves the mills will start up on the best
terms the owners can secure.n
Another gentleman, speaking OF the
Crescent mill, said: "The mill could not
start up II it wanted 10. The foundations
are torn out from under the sheet millto
be rebuilt, and other repairs are in pro.
gress whiphwiii occupy severaiweeks YETI
Intelligence was received by workmen
here yesterday that the Centralia Iron mill,
at Ceutralia, Ills, would start up to-day,
This gave them still further encourage
ment TO hope for an early adjustment OF
the pending difficulties in this vicinity.
The situation now seems wrapped In cons
siderably more doubt, however, than It
did before the conference at Pittsburgh.
The Bellaire Independent Of last evening,
commenting upon a nail manufacturer
views expressed in yesterdays INTRLLI.
dINCER, says: "It is wondered now what
the starting Of the Riverside steel works
at Renwood means II it does not mean an
early start. That company certainly does
not intend 10 prepare large stock Of nail
plate and leave It piled up for future use.
Il so It is an Unusual proceeding, to say
the least, and tits still believed the River.
side will start up in flll At an easly day.

Unreasonable Democrats.

A friend Of Collector John Il. McGraw
had the INrELIieEScRRi in his hand when
arepotter came upon him. Putting his
finger on the dispatch telling about the
Hampshire rnmpns, the man said:
SThoso people are very unreasonable. Mr..
McGraw had very short time after he
went into office to get up the accounts for
tia fiscal year which ends June 80. He
couldn't have organized an entirely new
force withoutthrowing his Office into great
confusion, and SO he had 10 call on some
Republicans who we're experienced in the
work. I am sure that ingood time he
will explain all this to the satisfaction Of
every reasonable Democrat, and then the
Hampshire people will want to plant their
pole again.

When word was passed around that the
Senators were not coming, the disappoint-
ed ones took on a look Of deep disgust
and doubted once more the Jacksonian
Democracy OF this administration. Major
Ed Mcdonald, of Wetzel county, did
what he could to brace them up, but the
patriots Unlisted that there was no balm
In Gilead. Ex.Judge @. P. T. Moore, OF
Mason county, who had come up to attend
the Commencement exercises at Mt. de
ohantal, did not knew any politics. He
said, however, that there would not be
much Of a wheat cropin Mason, that the
cut worm was In the corn and that the
high water had introduced on the bottom
lands wild, sweet potato vine that was
playing hob with things generally.
A little before nine o'clock Collector
