The prOtitless Worry.

These seem to be days of resultless agita-
ton and pro6tless worriment among ma
tions and men. Greece marches up the hill
and then marches down again. Russia grabs
and comes away empty handed. Turkey
resists and wears away but slowly. Eng
land fumes and only smoke arises. The
United States lrets over polygamy, the
fisheries, the tariff and civil service, and
its laborers strike for better wages and
shorter days, without taking much 10y the
motion. There is restlessness everywhere.
and perhaps the outcome will be u storm
but more likely ii is to be a calm: but the
uncertainty as TO what is coming from the
labor agitation, which is of chief interest
in this latitude, has effectually checked
business enterprise and produced for the
time a state of things which stops all
chance of increasing the profit of labor. in
diminishing its opportunity of employment.
1t was the encouragement given in the
outset of the year to a generally entertain
ed believe in the revival of industry. that
prompted the labor element to make
| its demand for greater remuneration. The
| belief in the dawn of good times was So
l general as to cause concessions on the part
of employers, which encouraged universal
demands that had to be resisted and whiCl
have failed of success.
The promised business boom has been Sc
back for time and the question is fO
how long. The many enterprises of capita
that were contemplated cannot be expected
| TO be again started on their way until the
l relations of employer and employed become
| settled and fair assurance IS felt of the
| cost of the labor that will enter into the
| calculation of the cost of contracts extend
| ing into the future. There has been q
| sudden stOppage of work in all the
great centres of population. In New York
it issaid to-day that eight hundred houses
which were TO have been built this season
have not yet been started. The army OF
the unemployed has become very great
The goose that laid the eggs fO
| labor has been startled by its dem
| onstratiOns from its nest. In this grow
ing country such situation is no
likely to be long continued, but i
may be that it will be another year. 0
even more, before we get under weigh agai
with the fair prospect of industrial
activity which greeted us at the opening q
the year.

MES the establishment of the necessary
number of flt places TO entertain the trav-
cling public and when the necessity and
fitness of these places, the character of
those keeping them and their accommoda-
tions are established, there is only a sound
judicial discretion in the courts as TO who
and how many shall be licensed not as 10
whether any or none shall be granted.
The judges in Western PENNSYLVANIA
who refuse all applicants, do not respect
the law; and their position is not defensi-
BILE even by the showing that their COM
munities approve it. The judges in Eastern

number of places to sell liquor than are

like misconception or disregard of the law

The Presidents Domestic Affairs.


Some of the newspapers are trying to
make it appear that Mr.. Cleveland is
guilty of great social offending because he
does not tell them and the world whether
or not he is going TO marry Miss Folsom.
They represent him as putting her in
very awkward position a; for they consider
ately say, what a terrible modification she
will suffer and how she will be
compromised if, after all the talk, she fails
to becomea White House bride 1t is nota-
BILE that the newspapers which have been
least considerate of Miss Fosom's feelings
and least regardful of the presidents S right
toprivacy about his private affairs, are the
most distressed about this last phase of Cos
sip. They would doubtless give "a big price
to get exclusive" information on the sub
ject; whereas they do not like TO venture
too near the toe of the White House boot
in search of it.
The president is under no obligation to
break the reserve which he has thus far
kept on this purely personal and private
matter. He is in no way responsible fol
any OF these reports some of his relatives
and more of hers have talked a good deal
and probably most that has been ascribed
to them is the invention of the news.monp,
ers. 1t is their way.
The president rightly complains that he
has not the right of a private citizen
some of them, of course, he cannot expect
to have; but the one inalienable privilege
which neither the constitution nor IN,
newspapers can take away from. him, is t,
marry whom and when and how hi
fancy pleases and his judgment approves
and he is under no obligation to submit HI
programme in advance.

lN connection with the election and declin-
alton OF Rev. Phillips Brooks As assistant
bishop of the Episcopal diocese Of Pennsyl-
vania, it will strike number ot people as
decidedly queer that during the convention
a letter was received by one OF Or. Brooks
friends in which DR.. Brooks stated he had
learned of the use made OF his name before
the convention, and requested its immed late
withdrawal by the recipient Of the letter.
saying that he would hold him responsible
for the result il this were not done, and that
no mention of this important fact was made.
1t is also passing strange that a telegram was
received from DR.. Brooks by his friends
upon the night OF the election, in which he
positively declined to accept tho Office, but
it was not made public, As it was presumed to
have been dispatched prior to the close of the
election. Owing to this putting into practice
ofIthe small arts OF the pOt-house politician
the vacancy will probably not he filed before
autumn.

have sought it in different way from that
which they adopted. Mark that.
They can't heal the breach which they
have so unwisely thrown open by the
passage of resolutions pledgihg themselves
tosupport the nominee of the Point Pleas
ant convention, and that, too, in the face
OF the denunciatory resolutions in respect
to the majority who favored Jackson as
their choice on the 9TH inst. They had bet
ter move slowly lest the grave they have
dug for the Jackson men be The receptacle
for their own carcasseS.
When conference, as they term it, Is
headed by such men as Van Zevely, who
some six years ago sold out the Walking
Beam to John Hutchinson & Co. for filthy
lucre" and turned its columns against the
regular Democratic nominee for Congress,
and who also, two years ago suffered his
paper to be used as the tool of the Radical
party in this county, in order to defeat
the county ticket, and by .easOn Of such
detestable act brought down upon his head
the maledictions of the editor of the Richie
Gazette, who characterized him rs the
Judas IscariOt of the Democratic party.
Is it not time for honest Democrats, who
have the good of their party at heart,
to denOunce all such ,meetings as
fraught with sinister motives not calculated
either to harmony OF to insure the success
of any ticket so long as they are cOunte-
nanced by the unSuspecting and unwary
Democrats who perchance may have been
caught in the cObwebs of their deceit?
What do the Democrats of Richie think
of conference headed by sucn men? The
question to an honest Democrat readily
suggests the answer The Democracy OF
Richie, we are proud to say, is not owned
by one man or q set Ofmen, but she Is free
and Independent and exercises her pOliti-
cal rights and privileges on all occasions,
and only bows to the will OF the majority.
The legislative bee that has lately begun
to buzz in the ears Of some of the prime
movers in this conference, who failed to
receive recognition at the convention held
on the 18th inst, has induced them to play
the role OF a retrOmingent, and their act OF
to-day will rebound in no uncertain sound
during the coming campaign. 1t will take
years of patient toll in the Democratic
vineyard before they can be again received
into the fold, and the eye of suspicion Will
always be directed toward them whilst
they are striving to enter through the gates
into the city of Democracy.
In conclusion we assure the readers OF
your paper that upon whomsOeyer the
mantel Of Democracy may fall at the Point
Pleasant convention, Richie will be found
at her post, the grand pow wow to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
