IF THEY KNEW.

II only my mother knew Tsp
How my heart Is hurt within me,
She would take my face in her tender hands
And smooth my cheek, as she used TO do
In the days that seem so long ago,
When childish tears were quick to flow;
She would smooth my face with her tender hand
If she felt the grief within me.
II only my lover knew
OF the surging passionate sorrow,
He would hold me close to his sturdy breast,
AS once he held me the long hours through
When we had not learned to live apart,
But leaned for love on each others heart;
He would hold me close to his heaving breast,
If he guessed my passionate sorrow.
But it perces me like knife
To think that they do not know It;
To think they can look In my pleading eyes,
Yet never question my hidden life;
Can touch my lips in the same old place
Yet never look for the soul in my face.
Oh, the tears are bitter that fill my eyes
To know that they do not know It'll

Big Steel NorkAs Closed.

PITrsBURG, February 27.-The strike
of the furnace employees of the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works against a reduc-
tion OF zen par cent. in wages was in
auguTated to-day. All the men quit
work this morning and The company is
now banking the furnaces. \ protracU-
ed struggle is expected, as the masters
are determined to make no more CON
cessions aud the men are equally firm in
the stand they have taken. The strike
affects about one thousand men.
A general lockout was declared by
the firm of Carnegie " Co. Superintend.
ent Jones called the mill committee to-
gether this afternoon and after stating
that the demands of the men could NOT
be granted announced that inssmuch
as the woIkmen had refused TO comply
with the terms OF the firm they could
consider themselves discharged. The
decision was a great surprise to the
men. They assert, however, that the
challenge thrown out by the firm for a
conflict will be taken up and they will
fight TO the bitter ED.

The Western Railway Strike.

The strike on the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railroad derives its
main Importance from the fact of the
interruption to traffic on q great railway
system, and the strength and conserva-
tism OF the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers, who are making the strike
From the scattering statements as to
the trouble published In the press, it
looks as if the subject of dispute was
really hardly worth striking about, but
the fame which that organization has
for lever going into a strike except on
the utmost provocation overbaIances
the unfavoIaole presumption. 1t may
possibly De questioned whether the
reputation for strength which the
brotherhood has, by reason of striking
very rarely and never losing a strike
heretofore, may not now be shown to be
an over estimate. The organization has
incurred the opposition OF the knights
OF Labor, and has held itself aloof from
other trades unions in way that may
isolate it in this struggle. The reports
that the striking railToaders from the
Reading road are already on their way
20 take the places of the Burlington
men is an indication OF the dislutegra-
tion OF labor organizations which NAV
be quite significant before this conflict
Is over. The most serious aspect of the
trouble in its bearing on this section of
tie country is the infectiousness of rail
way strIkes.-PittSblrg Dispatch.

1T will be seen by the call, elsewhere
published, issued by James NJ. Walters
Esq. Chairman OF the Democratic
County Committee, that the members
OF the Committee are requested to meet
in AImory Hall, IN this place on Mon
ing five delegates to the State Conven-
tion which will meet at Harrisburg on
May 23l, and transacting such other
business as may be necessary. The
custom OF County Committees eleetiDg
delegates to q State Convention which
has only been followed on exception al
occasions in this county, is one that
is more honored in the breach than IN
the observance, and at any other time
than the present we would feel COM
PEELED to enter our protest against it.
AS there will, however, practically be
but one candidate Cor the Presidential
nomination before the Democratic Ma
tional Convention which will meet at
St. Louis, on the 5th OF June, there can
be no well grounded objection TO the
present County Committee selecting the
delegates to the State Convention where
they viii, take part In electing four
delegates. st-large from this State to
the National Convention, and in con-
junction with the delegates from Blair,
Bedford and Somerset counties, will
also elect two delegates from this Con-
gressionsl district to the same body.
The names OF the members of the
Committee will be found published
on our local page and as its meeting
will be an important one, we trust that !
each member composing it will feel that |
he has a duty to perform which ought |
not to be evaded, and that unless sick
ness either OF himself or a member OF
