No Adjustment Reached at Pittsbur~.

PITTsBURG, May 8.-The manufacturers and
the iron workers are in a situation that prom
ises very little in the way of an adjustment of
prices for next year. Whatever is done will
have to be accomplished before the 1st of June
not quite two weeks from the present. Each
side seems to be holding out firmly for their re-
spective positions, and both are emphatic in
their statements that if there is a settlement of
the wage question it will have to come through
advances from the other side. The mills are
running, with the evident object in view Of in
creasing their stock to the utmost. and the
workmen are considering the advisability of es-
tablishing stores throughout the district for the
purpose of supplying the members of the Anal
gamated Association with goods at cost prices.

The man without a pedigree will stand no
chance with this administration. The Presi-
dents lineage has been traced back to Henry
VIII on one side, and Helen of Troy on the
other and, of course, it is but natural that
he should desire thoroughbred men to repre-
sent him abroad, and to discharge the duties
Of office here. Secretary Endicott came over
long before the Mayfower was thought of,
Bayard's antiquity is established, and
Pendleton's responsibility is enough to
at once place him in the Demo
cratic herd-book without question. Mclean
and Phelps are very "old;;" come from time
when it was Democratic to curse Abolition
lists, and have learned nothing since. These
early appointments gave the drift of what the
President expected, so that now the pedigree
is at once produced as explanation of the ser
lections as made. S. Corning Judd, the new
postmaster at Chicago, is "a descenda. : of the
Rev Jonathan Judd, the first minister in
Southampton, Mass, four generations ago.
Mr.. Lothrop. the new minister to Russia, is "a
descendant of Mark Lothrop, one Of the pro-
prietors of Bridgewater, Mass, in 1866, and
whose name appears in the records as both
Lothrop and Lathrop. The presumption is
that this Mark was kinsman of the ceebra-
ted Rev. John Lathrop Oothrop), of Barn
stable, Mass, in 1886, whose family has been
traced to Lowthorpe, England, back to the
thirteenth century" Mr.. Dufais, now
consul at Havre, twas born in Germany,
in 1925, and is a descendant of the Hugue-
nots." Of course Soon the President will
become more exacting, and will probably ask
for pedigrees running back to Adam. They
can be had just as easy as not A Democrat
that hasn't some of the old Adam in him
would be ostracized at once.

The world seems to be sweeping through a
belt Of crime just now, and horrors are heaped
on each other, so frequent of occurrence are
they. Wife beating, wife-murder and suicide,
the beating and manning and killing of chill
dren, outrages of the most revolving character
and stealing and murderous fights are OF daily
occurrence. The vengeance Of law should be
dealt out with unerring certainty and with
that promptness which shall inspire terror in

could have been negotiated as readily as so many

about finding the owner, who failed to advertise

TO-DAY the General Assembly Of Illinois
will again attempt to elect United States
senator. There are 103 Republican members
enough to elect, and majority of two in the
whole body. But there is said to be some
| doubt about the election. Why9 A Spring
field special to the st. Louis Republican, q
Democratic organ, says:
early in the week the Republicans intend
to make desperate feint at electing Logan,
but it will not amount to anything, as some
| thing else important may occur in the mean
time. Every Democrat of the two houses
should be in their places not later than next
Tuesday morning"
Why should Republicans make 'feint'
when they have the votes, and what Sim
portant' thing can the Democrats expects
The Chicago Times of yesterday says:
'The Democrats should 60 into Tuesdays
contest with undiminished courage and de-
termination to win, if possible, by any means
consistent with law, and not inconsistent
with the common standard of party morals"
Now, if this means anything at all, it
means that two Republican members of the
Assembly are to be corrupted into voting for a
Democrat. The Chicago News, which is not
a personal advocate of General Logan, says:
every Republican member of the Legisla-
ture, with the exception Of Mr.. Weaver, has
committed himself, at one time or another, to
the proposition that Gen. John A. Logan is a
fit man to be United States senator. Mr.
Weaver is VIGOROUSLY Logan man. Any
break from Logan at this time, therefore,
must mean corruption. 1t can bear no other
construction. There is justification for a
member who refuses to abide by the choice of
his party caucus on the ground of the unfit
ness of the nominee, but in this case every
man, with the exception we have named, has
acknowledged the fitness of General Logan by
voting for him. 1t must now be Logan or
bribery"
Mr.. Sittig, one of the number who is re-
garded as 'shaky," made speech in the
House on the 25th of March, in which he said:
81 will. as I have already promised, vote for
any Republican who can be elected and shall
accordingly vote for General Logan if he can
be elected
And further along in the same speech he
said
elf it is possible to elect General Logan. l
want to see it done. Therefore, I shall alter
nately cast my vote for the Hon. Mr.. Wash
burne and the Hon. John A. Logan. shall
vote first for one and then for the other"
1t is now possible to elect General Logan, if
the 103 men who have, as has been said, de-
clared in his favor, will be in their places to.
day and vote for him. AS the News says, 'it
is now Logan or bribery" What member of
the General Assembly of the State Of Illinois
will make public acknowledgment of
the fact that he has been cor
rupted into either voting for Democrat,
or with conspiring to prevent the election of
General Logan by absenting himself from the
joint convention. The man who does it will
find nowhere to hide himself from the Kissing
scorn of all honorable people. The money he
got would burn him as bad as did the thirty
pieces scorch the soul of Judas.

The Claims of the strikers have taken definite
shape. They assert they are obliged to work
from A. NJ to P. M. twenty-six days in the
month, at a rate ranging from $32 to 500. On
the other hand. some of the bosses claim that
this $32 to $50 per month does not include house
rent, which is thrown in gratis The men deny
that house rent is given them, and want their
money, rain or sun. During the trouble this
morning, the SON of Mr.. Wolf, one of the
proprietors of the brick yards. was
severely beaten by two strikers, for
whose arrest warrants have been issued.
1t is stated the men will prevent all work about
the yards tomorrow. Arrangements have been
made to quell any disturbance that may arise
tonight. The brickmakers at meeting this
afternoon decided to employ no more men until
the trouble is settled satisfactorily, that the
main cause for riot Is removed.
