THE READING STRIKE.

A SPECIAL committee appointed by Con- gress is now engaged at Washington in Investigating into the Reading strike. Money spent by the government in this way is much moro profitably invested than thousands of dollars put into labor in gath ering statistics which very few people ever see. Tho proceedings of an investigation of this nature is given to the public daily through tho press and is read by hundreds of thousands. It has it's immediate re- sults It presents both sides of the diff eulty between employed and employer. Congressman Brumm of Pennsylvania is thus far the only important witness ex- amined. This week President Corbin and many others will appear before the com mittee. Congressman Brumm told the committee on Friday that the railroads and the mining companies were one and the same. These corporations and individuals, having the capacity to ship more coal than the market demands at ruling prices, inau- gurated a system of aIotments by which they all agreed upon certain percentage of the output to be mined by each during the year. The annual capacity of the Reading region he said was about 3O, GOO, 900 tons but the company permitted only 15,00O00 tons to be mined. MT Brumm was of the opinion not only that this whole striking business, or lockout as 1t should be called, was fostered by the Reading Company, but that all of the cor porations named were as deep in the mud as the Reading was in the mire. Ever since 1875 the companies had periodically laid the men off so many days per week. People were under the impression that this was matter of business necessity, but in his judgment if the coal mining business were not connected with the carrying system, the effect would be to put a higher price on coal at the mines and lower price on freight. In that way, while the
 miners could be paid higher wages, the lowering of the tolls would allow coal to be sold more cheaply, and by the incident increased demand the coal output could be increased and more work afforded the men. Hr Brumm evidently knows what he is talking about. His statement is in corrob- oration of that of the miners and of dis enterested parties who live in the vicinity of tho coal regions who know whereof they speak. There seems to be good deal of truth on the miners side of the question and an equal amount of prevarication by the companies.

THE Railroad Commissioners to-day held hearing in this city on the proposed change in the layout of the Meriden and Waterbury Railroad in the vicinity of River street. By this change the railroad company, it is said, will save $2O,OO It saves them the expense of the construc- tion of two bridges across the Mad river, moves the Liberty street crossing about seventy feet nearer River street, necessitat- ing change in the grade of that street, and brings the road in close proximity seven feet in one stretch-to River street, which means any amount of annoyance to the people on that street, to say nothing of the damage to their property. It is very evident that this proposed change in the layout of tho Meriden and Waterbury Road Is not in the interest of the people, and it Is to be hoped that the petition of the cor poxation will not prevsil with the commis- siOusrs. The city opposes the change and Sd would the people in that vicinity had they been notified. This opposition ought to have considerable weight as against the corporation.

 The fact that a man can prance around a sawdust track for six days and that horse can be killed with one days travel may be insteresting to science and complimentary to man, but inasmuch as that was estab- lished three thousand yea ago why should we continue to have walking matchess A possible result, as the case now stands, says the Sun, is the nomination by the Re- publicans of General Philip Henry Sheri- dan, and a very strong candidate he would unquestionably prove, notwithstanding certain points of weakness which it is net necessary to develop at the present stage of the question.

ON THE TURF.

E. J. Baldwin's stable will leave the Pacific slope for the east in April.
 One of the leading features of the grand circle trotting matches in 1888 will doubtless be double team races.
 Trotting to sleigh by electric light is the latest thing in turf sports. New Workers have been enjoying it at old Fleetwood park.
 Murphy will begin jogging Maud s. on Feb 2S, and will put her in condition to de- fend her laurels should rival appear in the field.
 Just at present, Green Morris says, Sir Dixon will start for the Kentucky Derby. As a matter of fact he is more likely to start him for the American Derby.
 The betting on the English Derby remains practically unchanged. The latest London figures on the favorites are: Friar's Balsam, 3 to against, with no takers; Orbit, to against, and Ayrshire, 8 to against.
 Two hundred and sixty horse owners and 110 jockeys are to be debarred from the tracks of the big jockey clubs next season for having engaged in racing at the half mile tracks at Clifton and Gutenberg.
 It is estimated that at the spring sales of thoroughbreds in Kentucky there will be offerings to the number of 1000 yearlings, which will include those of all the prominent breeding farms in Fayette, Woodford, Bour~ bon, Harrison and Franklin counties.
 The Louisville Jockey club will perhaps pay tho amount of the purses won as soon as the race is deoided. That Is very old Wac- tice rlDwn south, the rasne ''pt1Ss" being de- rived from the custom Of having tho uash in purse and hantding tb tU tl5s winning jocksy on tR1e track.

"BLAINE'S BOLD BID."

And now the announcements is made that James G. Blaine will not be the candi- date of the grand old party in the Presi- dential contest of 1888 A long communi- cation dated Florence, Italy, and signed by Hr Blaine himself explains the wherefore of his action. In it he says: "I am con- strained to make this decision by consider stions wholly personal to myself, of which you were advised more than year ago." We'll, things have come to pretty pass, whom MT Blaine finds it necessary to issue such a startling manifesto. He has taken his friends wholly by surprise, while his political opponents are not much agi- tated over the turn things have taken, and quietly await further details. For our selves we believe that the strategic MT Blaine will bear close watching. Why did he not arrive at this eminently fitting and sensible conclusion year agoa The req sons are best known to himself. His ''per- sonal considerations" in the matter may have double meaning. The festive James Is 0 keen one, and may be making another bold bid. He knows that the feeling against him in his own ranks has not been quieted, and that mugwumpery, inspired by his nomination in 1884, has made wide breach in the Republican ranks, and he knows too that plain nom ination without variations from the old style means certain and emphatic defeat, and these considerations may have more 10 do with his declination than anvthino else MT Blaine may be honest in his intentions, and again he may not. If he means what he says, and will absolutely refuse to allow his name to be used as the Republican candidate for 1888, we give him credit for his good hard sense, but if his present action is only another of "Blaine's Bold Bid;" if it is only feeler and bait for sympathy, MT Blaine may find that he has made fatal mistake

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach
are various, and statistics show con-
clusively that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is prob
able that everyone, without excep-
ton, receives vast numbers of Tu-
bercle Germs into the system and
where these germs fall upon suita
BILE soil they start into life and de-
velop, at first slowly and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the
throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the
lungs, producing Consumption and
to the head, causing Catarrh. Now
all this is dangerous and if allowed
to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with
promptness allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. AS soon as
you feel that something is wrong
with your Throat, Lungs or Nos
trils, obtain a bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup. 1t will give you
immediate relief.
