PHILADELPHIA TINES: Ex-senator
Buckalew Is reported to be making an
aggressive fight for the Congressional
nomination in the Eleventh district and
Ihe Mauch Chunk Gazette, which usu-
ally mirrors General Lilly's views, says
the fight is wholly between Buckalew
and Storm. The Montour, Columbia
and Lackawanna confcrrces are counted
for Buckalew, and Pike, Monroe and
possibly Carbon for Storm. Lower Lu-
zerne will probably cast the deciding
votes and The fear is expressed that
Buckalew may be stabbed in the back
by so-called friends.

Mr. EuIrom The excessively warm

the watering places and seaside resorts
Of the migratory class Of the population
of the National Capital Many of the
mansions in the west end have been
closed for the season, and notwithstanG-
ing the fact that Congress is still in scs-
sion,the spirit of life and activity has de-
parted, and the city has assumed the APP
pearance Of quietudc, which is a charact-
cristic ofsoutnern cities during the sum
mer.
As the fourth of July fell upon Sun
day, the various executive departments
were closed on the fifth, and many of
the clerks ayailed themselves of the op-
portuntes for recreation which we're
afforded by excursions to IIarpers Ferry.

that the ordinance prohibiting the use
of explosives OF any kind within the city
limits, OF sale Of tirecrackers to boys
under sixteen years Of age, would be
rigidly enforced, the small boy as usual
came out ahead. No attempt was m
reality made To enforce the law. In the
evening a grand display of fire works
was had in the vicinity of the Washing

Parker in his Tri Weekly Record, very
pointedly puts it thusly: The New Yorl,
Judges are sentencing boycotters TO
prison by the dozen. General Master
Workman Powderly has denounced the
system and still the boycott continues.
The employers have not yet given it up,
honest workmen are still being boy
cotted for daring to be men and taking
leading part in securing workinGmon
their rights. Working girls are boy
cotted for belonging to the Knights OF
Labor. Stop the employers boycott or

A DESPATCH from Washington, d.
o., dated the 18th inst, says: 1t is
learned that call will soon be issued
for national convention of the farm
ing and laboring interests, to be held at
st. Paul on the 25th of August. Dele
gates will be elected from every Con-
gressional district. The movement
looks to permanent organization and
has political object. 1t is proposed to
establish a representative Congress of
farm and labor delegates, with head
quarters in Washington. The avowed
purpose is TO concentrate these infu-
ences upon the Congress of the United
States and also to elect representative
laboring men and thus counteract the
influence of monopolies at the National
Capital.
