The Labor Troubles.

There is not much reason Ia doubt that
the organized labor associations of the
country had been considering the pro-
prety and practicability of general
strike on May 1 for reduction of the
number of hours of labor from ten to
eight per day. Their leaders had been in
duced to believe that the advance of labor
saving machinery had made it possible for
the sustenance of the average family to be
won in one-fifth less than the old period.
They did not count that the increased de-
msnds of suStenance, the new necessities
and prevalent luxuries had in n'reased more
rapidly than the means of supplying them,
The railroad strikes in the West precipi-
tated the labor arrangements and interrup,
ted the programme determined upon. The
uprising of the foolish and murderous So
cialists has framed an issue between an
archy and order upon which the great mas,
of laboring men stand for the law, fo
liberty and the rights of prosperity. L
does not seem likely that an immediat,
results will follow the present labor trou
bles except the arrangement of promis
| ing spring business.

A Matrimonial Coincidence

IL has been noted as curious fact that
coincident with the gossip over President
Cleveland's coming marriage is the an
nouncement that kwang. .Seu, the sixteen.
year-old Emperor of China, is now at that
period when it is necessary for him to
choose partner for his joys and sorrows.
But the American chief executive enjoys u
larger field of choice than the incumbent
of the throne of China. The latter must
select from Manchu families of certain
rank, the Manchus being the dominant
race in China, but in other respects he may
be said 10 be favored. For year ut least
before the empress is chosen, no Manchu
girl between the ages of II and Is and OF
eligible rank is allowed to marry.
This, TO be sure, is a very thoughtful
provision of the government of the
Celestial kingdom, but it must cause somt
very bitter heart-burnings among the nj
mond-eyed lovers who for u twelye-monti
must keep Cupid at distance. Much a:
President Cleveland is admired by tht
people over whom he presdes, the maiden:
of this country would draw the line at
giving him the preference accorded to The
EmperOr of China.

Wolfe For Governor.

We trust we will not be suspected of the
sinister purpose of encouraging the with
drawal of Republican votes from Republi-
can candidates, when we say that the can :
didacy of Charles s. Wolfe, on the Trohi-
bition issue, for governor of the state,
would be fit and proper thing. Prohibi-
tion is welldeiined and growing political
sentiment Mr.. Wolfe says he sympa-
thizes with it. Those who are friendly TO
it can only assert themselves in politics by
naming their ticket and voting it. The
Democratic party is against prohibi-
ton and will SO declare unquali-
fedly it is undemocratic in prin-
ciple; and there need be no misun-
derstanding between the Democrats
and Prohibitionists; they are antagonstic
and will not mix. The Republican party
plays fast and loose with the Prohibition
question. Its state organ boasts that the
six states having prohibitory laws are all
Republican; and that party wants the
Prohlbiuonlst votes but is afraid to con-
cede their demands. 1t means to deceive
them.
The temperance question is quite an
other matter than the Prohibition issue ::
those who are for temperance, for regula-
ton OF the liquor traffic, for high license
or other reforms may differ among them
selves, within the old party lines, but they
are a II against Prohibition. That is a
clear, distinct principle which admits no
middle ground, and those who are for it
should assert their separate organization.
The Democrats are against them and the
Republicans must either fish or cut bait.

Quay Shows His Hand.

Mr.. Matthew Stanley Quay, who asserted
his mastership Of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania last year by boldly making
himself its nominee for state treasurer, and
then established it by his successful cleo
tion, continues in many ways to demon
strate his purpose TO retain the unchal-
lenged position of the party boss. For this
aspiration he has some signal qualities of
intellectual force, social accomplishments
and extended political experience.
His move last year indicated that he
had cut loose from his old associa-
tions with Cameron and Magce and meant
to strike out for himself. 1t is generally
believed that he will be candidate Tor the
United States Senate, to succeed Mite hell
The members of the legislature who are
to choose for that succession will, except
ing the holding-over half of the Senate, be
elected this fall. Mr.. Quay was supposed
to have aimed at the Senate years ago
and to have been withheld from candidacy
for it because of the bad odor with hi:
party which attached to him after the riot
bill bribery and the Kemble pardon. Hav
ing had his vindication" he nov
comes to the fore to embrace the return o
his lost opportunities.
In this county, where there is a goot
deal of Republican politics to the squar,
mile, his candidacy presents novel situa
tion and makes some strange bed-fellows
Mr.. Quay deliberately makes the announce
ment that in the choice of senator her
he would be for Sunny and against Stsll
man; which is due notice to his friends an
the other local politicians of what he ex
poets to give and what he may expect t,
get. This draws the line. The friends O
Stehman must take up the glove; and the
will doubtless respond with proclamation
of hostility to Quay and full legislativ
ticket in all the districts opposed to his ser
atorial pretensions. Mr.. Quay will fin
himself with new allies in the fight an
Senator Stehman, on the other hand, is cor
forted by the fact that some of his forme
bitterest assailants are slenced this year b
peculiar local combinations.
1t is very interesting situation; an
the Lancaster county primaries may be th
skirmish of the senatorial battle of 1857.

Church Singing.

Talmage, who believes that the sacred
truths OF religion cannot he inculcated
without considerable mixture of sensa-
tionalism, is out in a strong plea for in.
spiriting music in the churches. He saws
" Music ought to rush from the audience
like the water from rock-clear, bright
sparkling. If all the other parts of the
church service are dull, do not have the
music dull" And to reach this, TO him,
blessed consunmation, he wants each
family OF congregation to be singing
school.
Inc brooklyn divine is to be commended

ofreigious people of this country TO that of

feared that he is sowing his seed on barren
ground. lie apparently overlooks the fact
that 10 few persons is it given to sing
sweetly and accurately. And very fire.,
quently does 1t happen that those mos
violently inspired with religious enthusi

encouragement they now make thei

John Dubois, the lumber king OF Pennsyl-
vania, who died at Dubois May ,, conveyed
all his properly, amounting to about 5000, =
900, 10 his nephew, John f.. Dubois. The
deed was dated January Il, 1881, but was
flied on April =, lsS6. The purpose
of making the deed was to make sure
that the business should go on in sin
gle and absolute ownership. The con-
sderaton WAS 81. John Dubois was
a bachelor and stood at the head OF the
lumber business of Pennsylvania. Every
year he cut 5000, coo feet of boards. He
began life with almost no capital, as a
Taftman ON the Susquehanna, at the age
OF seventeen. He was great in invent
ing new machinery, and whenever he
found an impeachment in his path he in.
vented something TO overcome 1t. He
got his first start in his fortune by in-
vesting in cheap timber lands, and the
secret of his large profits in recent years
has been the perfection of his machinery and
the variety of products, which enabled hun
to use up all of the timber cut and avoid
waste. He manufactured houses and shipped
them, all fitted and complete so that a
hatchet and nails were all that were required
to put them together at their destination
He owned his own railroad and his works
at Dubois have capacity of 5000 feet
OF lumber, 5000 boxes, 1900 barrel heads
and 10000 shingles per diem, besides "A
hemlock mill, large tannery aud una
chine shop. He had farm OF 1000 acres,
employed 500 men and knew every one OF
them. He owned $1,000 acres Ol land around
Dubois, a town of 900 inhabitants which was
founded by him twelve years ago. He also
owned large tracts of land in West Nir-
ginia- lie was practically the owner OF Du-
bOis and recently built large opera house
there. His great success was due to his in
genuity aud he owned about fifty valuable

BILLIONS of pounds OF wool tat used TO be
thrown away every year, but the preparation
that is made from it, lsnolin, now bids fair TO
be more important than the wool itself. Pro-
fessor Liebreich has the credit of reviviDg its
use, for we are told that it was not unknOw II
to the ancients and is mentioned by ovid,
Herodotus, Pliny and Aristophanes. As a
cooling ointment it is of great utility, one OF
its properties being to take up more than its
own weight of water. DR.. Thomas q. Nor

before the College Of Physicians OF Phila.

clipped without the sheep being washed

cheap as lard. When it is considered that al

fore the wool can be manufactured into
fabrics, that up to this time it has had NJ
value, that the process for its extraction i,
not very expensive one, and that lanolin is
80 per cent water, it is very evident that
lanolin is destined 10 work wonders in the

MR.. MCONds REY0MJyd yED,

The Republican convention OF the Sixth
Congressional district met at Hagersto|n
on Tuesday last and unanimously renouni-
mated Hon. Louis e. McComas for Con
gress. Upon accepting the nomination, Mr..
McComas delivered speech, evidently pre-
pared beforehand for the occasion, the prih-
cipal points of which were laudation )of
his own course in Congress, and mastery
effort to prove that a divided delegation in
Congress from this State was great bless
ing TO the people.
He warned his hearers to be on the alert
in regard to the use of large amount oi
money in the campaign by the Democrats
at the next election, and spoke as IL he was
perfectly familiar with the power of that
article in politics. He claimed that the five
Democratic representatives now in Con-
gress from this State had no power in &C.
curing appointments, which were all coa-
trolled by Senator German, and that the
election of sixth one would make no diff
ference in the result. In recounting his ex-
ploits as a member Of Congress, Mr.. Nc.
Comas failed to say a word in regard TO bis
great efforts 10 secure pensions for the et-
Union soldiers of his district.
Resolutions, offered by Mr.. Francis MI.
Ter, of this county, eulogizing the course Of
Mr.. McComas in Congress, were adopted
and the convention adjourned.
