Republican Doctrine.

1t was appropriate that the radically re-
publican city of Springfield and county of
Clark should give expression to some good
old republican doctrine about American
protection just at this time. There is moth
ing specially remarkable in the fact that
the last weeks republican convention here
adopted the resolution below printed. The
doctrine of it is not new. The protection
of American tabor has been one of the
fundamental articles of faith of the
republican party since its inception But
II can not be too often reiterated and EN-
phasized. And it is peculiarly appropriate
that il should have been remembered and
repeated on this occasion. Every national
republican convention has announced it:
and, while it may not have been really nee
esSary Ia announce it at a county conven-
tiOn. yet the labor troubles here. as well as
elsewhere. brought the old republican tenet to
remembrance: and il was judiciOuSly formu-
lated and enthusiastically adopted, as fol-
lows:
Resolved. That a. the party of progress
which has always presented an unbroken
trout in defense of the industrial interests
of our country. which has by wise national
legislation protected these interests. and has
proclaimed TO the world the inalienable
rights of man before the law. we. the party
Of the people and for the people, look with
regret and SORROW upon the condition OF our
country at this time touching the diver
gence of opinion between employers and
employees, and recommend the settlement
Of the same by mutual concessions: and
while We believe in the fostering of Ameri-
ran industry by the continuance of pro-
tectiye tariff, we also believe in the prutec-
tiOn of American labor by statutory enact
ments which will prevent the importation
of foreign labor to compete with that of
our matiye-bOm and naturaliLed citizens"

PHILADELPHIA MILLS BURNED.


The extensive mill buildings in Ken
sington, Philadelphia, known as Arrott's
mills and Beatty's mills, occupying two
blocks, bounded by Emerald. Letterly,
Taylor and Coral streets, and separated
by Adams street, were burned Sunday
morning, involving loss estimated at
nearly 100000. The buildings were
occupied by about a dozen firms en-
gagged in the manufacture of hosiery.
cotton and woollen yarns, upholstery
goods, Jerseys, mill machinery, &C., all
of whom lose heavily. All the firms
had large stocks of manufactured goods
on hand which had already been sold to
dealers to be delivered Feb. /.
The fire broke out in Joseph Greer's
dye-room and the flames spread so ram
idly after the first alarm was given that
two additional alarms were sent ont
bringing large number of engines and
trucks to the scene. The firemen were
delayed considerably by reason of the
snow and the frozen condition of some
of the iire-plugs. The extreme cold al
so interfered with their work. The
flames passed rapidly through the Ar
rott buildings and across Adams street
to the Beatty Mills, and in about two
hours, when the fire was checked. the
Arrott Buildings with their contents
were completely destroyed and the Beat
ty Mills were in ruins, the portion of the
contents which escaped the flames being
almost totally ruined by water and
smoke. 1t was only by the most sys-
tematic and vigorous work on the part
of the tiremen that the dwellings and
houses opposite the burning buildings
were saved.
The estimates of individual losses OBJ

not only an artistic but financial success,
and Doctor Demrosch retained his in
fluence up to the day Of his death, hav-
ing founded first class German opera in
this city where it promises to remain.
When Doctor Demrosch died the baton
fell from his lifeless hand into that of his
son Walter, the German opera still con-
tinues-Wagner's Meistcrsinger, which
was produced on Monday night, being
the crowning glory of the operatic sea-
son. There was great gathering of
fashionable and financial magnates; the
handsome face of our ex-President being
seen in the boxes, and everybody was
asking why on earth he hasn't got
married.
But you must not imagine that all the
world and his wife were at the German
opera at the Metropolitan Opera House !;
by no manner of means. On the same
night Theodore Thomas produced Goetz'
comic opera, Tanning a Shrew, at the
Academy in English. We have here q
musical enthusiast, Mrs II. B. Thurber,
wife of wholesale groceryman and a
lady distinguished in fashionable and
musical circles. The dream of her life
has been first-class English Opera, which
would enable the American public which
loved music to dispense with the service
of the hordes of vags bond foreigners
who have fairly devoured our substance
in the past. Theodore Thomas and the
English opera scored a great success;
though opera is even in Englisha costly
entertainment, anything like a fair seat
costing two dollars and half, and
choice seats were five and ten dollars,
and so that Notwithstanding the dis
covery that we have native talent in
abundance, we are not yet prepared to
offer opera at fifty cents and dollar.

A remarkable and sensational feature
of the week has been the Dixie ball nj

Mr.. Dixie and his manager Mr.. Rice

venture, but in consideration of his dis
services and the obligations
under which he had laid the public,
Rice got up a ball at the Metropolitan
Opera House. Tickets, $500. Boxes
fifty. OF course there was n jam; all
the fast people in town were there, and
hundreds went just to touch elbows
with theatrical people off the stage.
Financially the thing was managed so
that Dixie and his manager got pocket
full of rocks.

A. j. DeNoe, the Hackensack, n. j.,
weather prophet, under date of the 18th
inst, writes to the New York Sun as
follows:
There is anotherstorm approaching,
and your readers need not expect any
comfortable weather this week. From
the 18th to the 23d we will be treated
to few days of mild pleasant weather,
and about the 25th a cyclone will move
up the Gulf Stream, causing severe
northeast gales in this section, with a
temperature below zero. and heavy
SHOWS along the coast, and it will cross
the ocean to Europe, and France will be
banked up with snow on the 3Oth. I'm
mediately following the northeast gale
a warm gale will make its appearance
in Montana and move this way, and the
people of Canada West should make
preparations for destructive floods about
Feb. 1. While they are having pouring
rains in Canada, a severe cyclone will
form in the Gulf of Mexico. and will
shake things loose around Galveston
about Feb. 2. All merchants owning
vessels should give the west Gulf coast
wide berth from the 1st till after the
9th. While the cyclone is raging in the
Gulf piercing norther will sweep over
the plains of Louisiana and Texas, max
ing sad havoc among the cattle and the
sheep. In New York city Febru w
enter warm, cloudy, and rainy, with a
fog so thick that your readers will no.
be able to see each other across the
street, but il will be of short duration.
About the 9TH a cold blast will strike
the city that will make everything snap
and crack, and about the 7th Il snow
storm will sweep over the country and
railroad travel will be almost Suspended.
Following the snow storm the ther-
mometer will drop about 10 degrees be-
low zero. Then the icemen should get

THE recent declaration OF T. V.
Powderly that he would not be a candi-
date for Mayor of Scranton left Frank
Beamish, the present incumbent, clear
fold for the Democratic nomination.
Congressman Scranton's paper a short
time ago announced that Major Penman,
chairman Of the Republican county COM
mittee, would be the Republican candi-
date, and Tuesday morning a letter was
published signed bynearly threchundred
leading Republicans, asking Colonel
Ripple to become a candidate. Colonel
Ripple replies that he cannot ignore the
call of so large number of his fellow
citizens. He is very popular with all
classes and, if nominated, will be elected.
1t is thought that he will be vigorously
opposed in the convention by NJ. Scran-
ton and his immediate friends.

yet he is fond of a complete assortment.
The Speaker usually washes it down
with some rare old wines. Perry Bel
mont of New York is one of the most
particular men who comes into the
House restaurant. His orders must be
cooked exactly as he orders or he will
not touch the dish when it is set before
him. Congressman Robertson of Ken
tucky is the oldest member about his
food. He is extravagantly fond of
onions. Usually he orders a large dish
OF these vegetables cut raw and cats
them all with wonderful relish. No
matter how crowded the House restaur-
ant is, Robertson always has an entire
table to himself
