YfsrERpAY II LABoR cIROLEs.

TIE labor troubles at the chief points Of
disturbance are gradually adjusting them
In Chicago yesterday sl the railroads re-
sumed work. The &. & o. road comp7o-
missed with the freight handlers by giving
nine hours psy for eight hours work.
The other roads have sufficient force to
move freight, some following the example
of the B & o, others taking men back on
the old terms, sni stili others hiring new
sets of men. Eight hundred men in the
Chicago Mallesble Iron Works accepted
nine hours pay for eight hours work, and
fifteen hundred sash and door makers in
the lumber yards went to work on the
same terms. In the car shops at Detroit
a good many men offered to 90 to work at
the old figures. Fifteen hundred Penusyl-

outlook looks favorable. Defeat and con-

SELLING THE pEwIKY BONDS,

eriug the a~dvisabiliry of selling $4,000 OF
the S42 900 of Pewiky railroad bonds held
by Ohio county in order to detray the
expenses incurred in preparing the new
Court House for occupation. These bonds
are bringing the county seven per cent,
interest. The road is in p f~ourishiug coz

Our County Commissioners should be-
very cautious in diSposing Of sucha pgo6ts

County orders can be issued to supply the
deficiency in the county levy, till the next
levy is made. The county would have to
pay only six per cent. interest
UPON these orders. This wonld be a
saving of one per cent. to the county
if all the orders were Issued on the same
dsy that the bonds were sold, should they
De sold. Bat the fact is, orders would not
os given until needed. Thus the time for
which the county would have to pay inter

reduced. Three per cent might be saved
IN this way. When the next levy is laid
and the orders paid of, these $500

Also, another thought he sets forth Is
worthy to be treasured up BY every knight

in Sumatra. The Gar and the Kaiser
are monopolisis from journalistic and

In 1873 this local light of the Orient in
the fullness Of his pride as deputy
prophet of Allah proceeded to
get up business in piracy
that showed the Doodle talents of a
New York Alderman. He had pirate
cruisers that could catch anything but a
Cunarder, and many a time he lay for the
"Tramps of the Sea-" which are
steamers. but not of very high order,
and declared fat dividend about every
month, he being the only stakeholder,
and all the profits going into his royal
treasury, which is his majesty's breeches
pocket.
The Dutch nation, which trades in that
neighborhood very extensively, could not
appreciate this royal Lambro's methods
of putting the religion of Mahomet into
business so they sent fleet and army
to conquer the Sultan Of the Sea at SUI
matra.
That was over ten years ago, and still
the Majesty of Acheen sails his pirate
way.
But there is war by sea and land, and
the Dutch hayem made a record that they
think is equal to anything in the palmy

Sumatra has cost the Netherlands much

THE NEW YEAR.

One Of the most enterprising houses in
the United States gives us sound opin-
ion on the business outlook for the COM
ing year, predicating its opinion on
business that extends all over the world.
and that in its particular character per
meates all the avenues and all the sources
of trade. We feel sure that from the
criticism and observations we get from
this source and others that there is no
cause to fear hard times and that there
will be wave of prosperity during the
coming year.
The South has at last been relieved
from the incubus of prejudice that shad-
owed it with cloud, and not the least
of the numerous benefits of a conserya-
tive Democratic administration is the
perfect peace and fraternity instituted
between the formerly antagOnistic sec
lions
Men who were accustomed TO study
big affairs in patriotic sense
have long appreciated what was
the great future of the South
under the new regime when her ideas
in the modern mercantile world could
be developed untrammelled by any OPP
preston. The curious result of the civil
war is felt at present in the fact that the
North and South are more friendly than
in the days when their institutions were
different.
The effects on our material prosperity
of this reconciliation and union was long
ago mapped out in the logic of events,
and now destiny is beginning to work
itself out very rapidly, and the South vii
advance steadily and solidly until oul
section of the union is abreast with the
/ North
