WARRINGTON. Jan ,22nd. 1886.

From our Regular Correspondence
WARRINGTON, Jan 22ud, 1885.
Our lawmakers on Capitol Hill
have had before them this week
much miscellaneous matter aud
many minor measures. 1t would
DO less difficult 10 state what ques.
tons were not touched upon by
them than TO mention those that
have been discussed. In the Sen.
ate silver has been the chief sub
ject Of debate, but in the House,
there has been a little Of almost
everything.
The President lost no time in
atIixinS his signature to the Sue.
Cession bill. This measure is
thought by some TO DC Tar from per
feet. Still, it will serve for the
present to prevent uncertainty in
the event Of the death of the Presi.
dent, and it will give assurance
that the administration of the Gov.
ernment will continue under the
party to which the people confdvd
II, for the full term of four years.
The measure will probably always
be known by the name Of the
."Hoar BILL" but IL was, in truth, a
conception Of Attorney General
Garland, and was originally framed
and presented BY him. Failing Of
passage, 1t was aftcrward adopted
by Senator Hoar, Of Massachusetts,,
and has taken his name.

Clleap Poreign Labor Doesalt

Dor into this country under con.
tract they certainly can not have
sneh now.
The present trouble with the
HOngatians in the Connellssills
coke region puts Il beyond doubt
that The importing Of foreign cheap
labor to take the place Of our home
labor doesn't pay. And ,histroub.
lie Is but a repetition Of those that
have lately occurred at Cleveland,
o., South Bend, Ind, and Peoria,
I'LL These were Hungariaus and
Poles brought into the country BY
contract or to take The place Of
home workmen.
The Hungarians in the coke re.
glons OF fennsylyania are said h
have been very traclable until Of
late. Though, in taking the places
Of the men who were on a strike
they got less wages than other men
asked, yettheir condition was made
SO much better by the change from
Europe TO this country that they
thought little Of becoming dissatis.
fed for a time. But when they
came to recognize their position
and that better things rein store
for them they AT oncearrayed them.
selves against their employers
These employers have, as it were,
warmed within their bosoms SER
penis intended to bite other per.
sons, but which have turned upon
the employers.
These cheap imported laborers
when once aroused are likely to be
very unreasonable in their de-
mands. They have not been in the
country long enough to have q
knowledge Of our institutions and
have sympathy with the best Amer.
lean ideas. Indeed they have liv.
ed in an almost isolated condition
and scarcely any sympathy springs
up between them and the people
around them. They have a desire
for good wages, but do not possess
the judgment and prudence Of the
skilled men they displaced.
Three things, at least, ought to
DO done in regard to the difficulty
in the Pennsylvania coke region.
First, the rioters should be made
to obey the law at all hazards
They should be taught a lesson
that thew will not soon forpet and
which will serve as a warning to
other law.breakers.
Second, the grievances of the
wotkmGn should be heard and the
cupidity Of their employers fully
exposed. The coke men have been
accustomed to receive their pay
through operators stores. While
some of these stores dealt fairly the
charge Of extortio1 is brought
agaiust others Men who work as
hard as miners and coke workers
ought to receive their pay ut regu.
lar intervals in cash and be allow.
ed the privilege Of buying their
supplies whore they can buy cheap.
est. Also checkweighmen should
be appointed, so that the men may
know that they are receiving pay
for all the product Of their labor.
Third, care should be taken that
no more cheap contract foreign Ia.
Dor is brought into the country at
any point or for any purpose
People have been trying the exper-
iment long enough. As has been
shown, it doesn't in the long run
pay the employers, it injuries the
cause Of labor and is detrimental
10 the best interests Of society.

Shortly before O'Clock last Sunday
morning, as Murtha Corbett, a hostler
employed at the Kings Bridge police sta
ton, was on his way to the stables, he
saw horse fast In the trestle-work OF
the iron railroad bridge which crosses
Tibbatt's brook. The animal, which be-
longed 70 Thomas Burke OF Spuyten
Duyvil, had strayed out Of an adj
Joining pasture and had fallen partly
through the trestle, where II had stuck
fast. Corbett remembered that an early
newspaper train bound up the track
would be due in few minutes, and that
the obstruction, owing to the railroad
cut, could not be seen from the Kings
Bridge station. lie also noticed that i
was quite foggy and that this alone would
prevent the animal from being seen until
the engine was too near to stop. Cor
bett rushed through the cut to the police
station, where he warned the SER
geant at the desk and also called out to
the nagman on duty at the crossing near
by
The newspaper train was seen rapidly
approaching Kings Bridge railroad sta
ton, which 1t was sure TO pass like a
fash. Corbett and the hagman rushed
down the track toward the railroad sta
tlon and called out to the man in the
cabin or observatory near there to warn
the approaching train that there
was danger ahead. The train was almost
on the cabin before the man there could
make q signal This fortunately, was
seen by the engineer, who Immediately
attempted TO stop his engine. The train
finally came TO standstill few rods
from the imprisoned horse. The latter
was holsted out OF the trestle, but one
OF its legs had been broken and 1t was
necessary to shoot 1t,
Corbett's action Is highly praised by
the railway officials, who say that but for
his warning the train would have been
wrecked, and several lives might have
been lost New York Times, July Z.

ouotine OF an expression which
ls most UNANIMOUSLY used against the city
of New York at best In adopting the
pending resolution congress would DC
irving very dangerous experiment, one
that might bring disaster and ruin to the

posing. on this question no one doubted
The patriotism of the president and sec
rotary of the treasury, and he congratu-
lated them for following so closely in the
footsteps Of their Republican prede-
cessors. On this great question Presi-
dent Cleveland was greater than the
party which had elected him.
Mr.. McMlllin Of Tennessee
favored the resolution and said
that to-day there were hundreds
and thousands Of men out of employ
ment. The wheels OF industry had
stopped, men were striking and clamor-
ing for higher wages, and yet the govern
ment was paying interest on debt when
there was money In the treasury to pay

had meant Reputation. From what
fountain Of wisdom had the gentleman
btain ed the draught which led him TO
the conclusion that keeping only $780,

ghost, and said that the resolution meant

which would injure the credit Of the
country, but 1t sought to take from the
treasury a surplus, the circulation of

would result in reduction of the rate
OF interest, and he did not think
that any greater blessing could come 1t.
Mr.. Warner Of Ohio offered an amend
