THE IRON TROUBLES.
Changed Condition From the strike of
Six Years Ago.


PITTSBURGH, Pa. July 6-The present
iron lockout presents curious and i'm.
portant contrast to the great iron strike of
1852. At that time, the nailcrs, as well as
the iron and steel workers, demanded an
advance. and all the nail factories were
closed down on strike. This year the
nail manufacturers did not go in with the
Association of Manufacturers Of Iron. Steel
and Nails in demanding |. reduction in
wages, and presented no scale, signing the
scale of the Amslgsmated As sociation of
Iron and Steel Workers, without question,
and the faS4z - are running as usual
The Eastern and western nail manufac-
turers, at 8 meeting in Pittsburg in the
early part OF last month, agreed upon n
uniform scale of prices, and practically
formed joint pool for the maintenance of
these prices. Under this agreement it is
notnecessary to smalgamate with the iron
and steel men. as while nails can be main
tanned at 81 90 and 500, the present rate
OF wages can be paid
The Amalgamated Association counts on
this source for deriving reyenue to main

WASHINGTON. July Ga report has been
made to the House by the Committee on
Foreign Relations on the case of John Cur
tin Kent, who was. in June, 1888, ar
raigned with Thomas Gallagher, Bernard
Gallagher. and Others, in England, on the
charge of conspiring 10 commit murder by
the use of dynamite. Kent, who is q
naturalized citizen of the United States,
was convicted and sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. The committee find. that
the only testimony produced against John
Curtin Kent was TO the effect that letter
was found on his perssn at the
time of his arrest, from Thomas Gallagher,
who was under arrest as a dynamiter
The letter only showed that Kent was
Gallaghers acquaintance and physician.
Kent says the fact that he was an Ameri-
can citizen was not bought out at the trial
although he appealed to the United States
Legation at London for interference and il
was denied. The committee believes that
the defense was at conducted ss it should
have been. and expresses deep sympathy.
Letters from the President and Secretary
Bayard are incorporated in the report,
which shows that an APPEAL for DIR. Gala
gher, one OF the prisoners convicted with
Curtin, has been made to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs. although nothing has
come of il. The committee observes that
il believes Kent would have Jared differ

More War Rumors.

Rumors of war in Europe are again rife.
The German Reichstag has been called on to
sanction new loan of S7O,O0O,000, and the
army is to be increased by the addition of
10000 men, Ia force greater than Napoleon
employed in the conquest of Europe, strength
ening the Land,cehr, or First Reserve, by
large accessions from the LandSturm, or Home
Guard, composed of older men, who under
former regulations could not be required to
serve beyond the frontiers. Within the year
it is said that Germany will hold twenty two
hundred thousand men in readiness for any
move that Russia may make. 1t is also said
that Russia, Notwithstanding her weak finan-
cial condition, has shown herself able to place
in the field on the confines of Posen and
Galicia, one of the largest armies ever massed
in Europe. What is the meaning of all this
is pertinently asked by the intelligent observ-
ers of current events. Why should Russia
mass her army in an advanced position, and
why should Germany be turned into vast
military camp, with her war exchequer en-
larged by the addition of SIC, OOO,0 900? What
can these colossal preparations mean, except
q profound conviction in the minds of Euro
pean potentates that war is imminent. With
France and Russia on one side, and the triple
alliance of Germany, Austria and Italy on the
other, the struggle would be one of the ferc,
est and most desolating that has scourged
mankind for years. Nor does it seem proba-
| Bile that it will be long DELAYED.

Three Definitions.

From the Keene, Ne,c Hampshire, Republican.
One can hardly pick up newspaper nova
DAYS without finding in it some attempt to de-
fine the three kinds of thoughtful voters now
most prominent in National politics. The
questions, what is protectionist, what free
trader, and what tariff reformer, are upper
most in the public mind, and many answers
of different value have been given to the
queries. A protectionist, properly speaking,
is one who regards the policy of levying a
duty upon all foreign impertations that may
by any possibility come into competition with
home made goods, as policy that should be
maintained by the National government. On
the evyiug of individual duties pretechonists
may disagree, but the general prlnciple, =, OF
this policy is believed in by all of them. The
difficulty of harmonizing the views OF prottec-
tionists on single points, is the stumbling
block in the way of maintaining a judicious
and equitable tariff system. These differences
of opinion are more common to the Republi-
can party than to the Democratic, and that
is the reason that the latter party is the more
active in attempts to revise the tariff, so that
its inequalities may be materially lessened.
On the point of incidentally protecting home
industries, for the benefit of the people as
whole, the Democratic party is sosnder, more
radical and more progressive than the Repub-
lican party.
A free trader, in the literal sense of the
phrase, is one who believes that all classes of
trade should be unrestricted, that the govern
ment should impose no duties, and that the
commercial union of the whole world should
be such as would enable the peoples money
to penetrate to, and circulate in, all markets.
There is hardly citizen of this country who
believes that such system is desirable, or
attainable. 1t is not desirable because it is
not practicable, for the simple reason that
the human race is not a race of angels. Free
trade might be right in theory if all men were
angels. In the present condition of mankind
a tariff system is quite as necessary to restrict
trade, as system of law is to restrict liberty.
A tariff reformer, that lisa sound Democrat,
is the best type of protectionist. BE behe~es
in tariff system, for revenue, but is anxious
to perfect 1t to the highest degree possible.
While he recognizes the value of our system
of incidental protection, he will not permit the
justice of portion of that system to bind his
eyes to the inequalities that it has called into
existence. 1t is upon this that the Democrat
ic party bases its claim on public confidence

Political Notes.

The Republican attempt to scare the Dem
ocratic party with the silly cry OF Free
Trade!'' will not work. The Democracy is
still untariffied. Boston Globe.
The Phiadelphia Enquirer, Republican,
does not want Blaine. 1t says editorially:
"What the Republican party must do at the
next national convention is to nominate not q
man who can carry the majority of his party
particularly, but a man who can carry ma
jority of the whole people in November. The
force of wisdom should not be set aside by
force of numbers"
The Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic State Committee of Massachusetts on
Saturday adopted resolutions saying that the
Massachusetts Democracy ''are a unit in their
support of President Cleveland and the policy
outlined in his last annual message to Con-
gress; that they believe it to be the duty of
Democrats throughout the United States to
advocate, support and insist upon the adop-
ton of the principles enumerated therein as
the great issue upon which the Democratic
party, with its candidates, in tie approaching
election can achieve an overwhelming victory
at the polls.
Whenever ''tariff revision is mentioned
the Republican press sets up howl about
Stree trade" and the Golden Club. The
Golden Club being popular English institu-
ton, the Republicans think that the Demo
cratic voters should be ranked with it If by
this they mean to disparage the principles of
Democracy, they only show their own igno-
rance. The Golden Club was named for
Richard Golden, one of the best English
friends America ever had. Another member
of it is John Bright, whose invaluable services
| to this country are acknowledged even by the
Republicans. To cap the climax, we may

Rivalry Between Sherman and Blaine.


Senator Sherman, if he were asked whether
or not he was u candidate for President,
would likely reply that he was in the hands
of his friends; that TO be President of the
United States would be a distinction of which
any man would be proud. If he were asked,
further, if he were making any effort to obtain
the Republican nomination, he would proba-
bly, draw himself up to his full height and
look with contempt upon his interlccutor
Yet, Sherman is u consummate wire-puller,
and is putting forth his best endeavors to Sc
cure delegates enough to insure his nomina-
ton. The contest for delegates in the Dis
trict of Columbia, on Tuesday of last week,
was a disgracefnl proceeding. The whole
affair was in the hands of negroes, and there
was almost war between the Sherman and
Blaine men, while charges of bribery and
corruption are made by both factions. Both
held conventions at the same hall, at the same
time, and it required large police force to
prevent decision by force as TO which fac
ton should represent the party in the District.
Both sides selected delegates to the Chicago
convention, and the admission of either dele
CATION will depend upon who will control the
organization.
Among the Sherman delegates is Judge
Shellabarger In an interview published in
the Washington Evening Star, of Wednes-
day, he says he will investigate the manner OF
his election, and if properly chosen will ac-
cept. Continuing, Judge Shellabarger said
81 consented to have my name used only
at the request of Senator Sherman" This
fixes the fact that Senator Sherman is in the
field; and further, that he is ready to use any
means town, as these disgraceful proceedings
fully demonstrate.

Tackled the WRONG Man.
SENSATIONAL shooting and Stabbing
ARRAY I'm Front of n Church.

A telegram from Knoxville, Tenn, January
90, says a shooting ARRAY occurred here this
morning in front of st Johns Episcopal
Church, which resulted in the wounding of
three men, one of them fatally. As James F.
Rule, the city editor of the Knoxville Journal,
was entering the church, accompanied by his
wife, he was accosted by three men, who
wanted to speak with him. He walked to the
opposite side of the street with them, where
all four stood talking some minutes The
three men were John West, William West and
friend of theirs named Goodman. They
attacked Rule on account of accommodation
which appeared in the morning Journal re-
fleeing upon DIR. I. A. West, city physician,
and father of John and William West. Rule
refused to give the name of the author of the
communication or to make any satisfactory
answer to questions West struck Rule and
attempted to bear him to the ground. Rule
drew revolver and shot John West through
the body. William West Immediately fired
on Rule, the ball passing through Rules
wrist. John West then cut Rule in the back
seven times. William West placed his revol-
yer at Rules forehead and fired, but Rule
knocked the pistol up, receiving only 8 scalp
wound. Rule then fired two more shots, one
of them taking effect in the shoulder of Good
man, who seemed to be attempting to sepa-
rate the combatants. A number of men
rushed out from the church and stopped the
bloody fight. William West ran away unin-
jured. Rule was able to get up and walk to
the church, but John West was carried home
in dying condition. Rules injuries are not
dangerous, and Goodman is not seriously
wounded. Rules wife, who had entered the
church, knew nothing of the difficulty till all
was over. The organ drowned the noise of
the pistol shots The circumstance which
called out the newspaper article was the cleo
ton, yesterday, of DR.. 7. A. West to be city
physician, by the city council. West is not a
graduate of a medical college, and the coun-
Gil had repealed an ordinance for the purpose
of making him eligible. This act aroused the
indignation of the regular physicians of "
city and was denounced by the medical society,
The article which caused the bloody ARRAY
was written by physician and contained
very severe reflections upon DIR. West and the
city council. The West boys and Goodman
went to Rules house early this morning, but
did not find him. Rule was afterwards
warned that they were seeking him and max
ing threats. The entire community sides
with Rule in the matter. William West has
been arrested. Goodman made no attempt
to escape.

Two Opinions on the South.

The inspector of the Phoenix Insurance
Company, who visited all the cotton mills of
the South last year, has written out his views
for the Springfield Mass Republican, and
his conclusions are that the condition of
the mill operatives in the South is more favor
able than in the North. Wages, he remarks,
are not so high, but the cost of living, fuel,
&C., is cheaper.
Ex.Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, one evening
last week, was one of the speakers at a ban
quet given at Atlanta, in that state, to party
of three hundred Western lumbermen, who
were on tour of inspection in the South,
with a view to purchasing timber lands. He
was introduced as living evidence that a
man may be Republican in the South and
live, and during his remarks he said ''the
colored man is safer under the present gov
eminent than he would be under strictly
Republican government. If left TO their own
inclination the Southern people will extend
to the negro all the rights oftrue citizenship
Upon these two opinions, Messrs. Chan
der, Sherman and other prosecutors will have
to remain silent. The source of the evidence
forbids an attack. The Republicanism of the
one, and the place of birth and residence Of
the other, preclude anything like bias in their
views.
The steady development and growth are
sources of great annoyance to the Chambers
and Shermans and Blaines; and if be shown
from good Republican evidence that peace
and order reign in the South, and the rights
of the colored man are secure, their anger will
know no bounds 1t is to divert attention
from such testimony that the waivers of the
Bloody Shirt are continuously Haunting the
eusanguined garment, and asserting that So
ciety is in a chronic state of disorder, the
rights of the colored man abridged, and in
fact the South is actually in rebellion.
This proceeds from two causes: First, to
keep up an antagonism between the two Sec
tons, in order to perpetuate their own polit-
ical life; and second, to arrest progress in the
South, in order to preserve Northern indus.
tries. that are gradually losing ground before
the competition of the industries Of the South.
Both OF these are selfish objects, worthy only
of the demagogue. The people. however,
are fast learning that the war is over, and
gradually the politicians who have been living
on the animosities resulting therefrom, are
dropping to the rear, to be replaced by better
