THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE says: "Seven-
teen year locusts abound in the west. There
is a well defined 'W' on each wing of the
locust. The superstitious attach to their Wis
itation the Importance of a warning from Prov
idence, and maintain that the wv signifies
war. 1t is a fact that in 1854, when occurred
the first of any recorded visits of the pest, the
Crimean war was inaugurated. Seventeen
years later, in 1871, they again appeared. That
year marked the beginning OF the Franco-Prus-
sian war. This year?"

convention from Wednesday to Saturday,
and their tactics were so obstructive, not TO
IA saw arrogant, that the delegates began 10
lose their patience.
The situation was accurately described in
TIE CoNsTITUT1oN's dispatches OF sun
dav. The feeling of bitterness continued
to crow until yesterday morning, and II de-
veloped so rapidly that Brother Blaine, ap-
prised of the situation by his trusty lieu
tenants, telegraphed renewal OF his Paris
letter and directed his friends 10 withdraw
his name. This was followed promptly by
the nomination of Harrison, and the Blaine
boom disappeared like leather-wing bat IN
a barn loft.
There is one fact that need not be dis
gused, and that is that Harrison Will be
stronger man before the country than
Blaine would have been. He is man OF
high character, and appears to have con-
Quoted himself as dec0ntly during his pollt-
ical career as any republican could be eX-
pected to do. From a republican point OF
view, his record is a good one. He has no
letters to burn, no discriminating correspond
ence to hide, no questionable acts to defend.
In spite of the fact that his temperament is
a little heavy, he is fairly strong man in
tellectually, an eloquent speaker and sue
cessful campagner. The one fact Of inter
est to democrats is that he will draw to his
ticket many votes that Blaine would have
repealed.
To sum it all up, the man who is the
grandson of President William Henry Har
rison, is not as bad a man as Blaine, and
not nearly SO good man as Gresham. He
strikes the average between these two ex-
tremes. He is very clever gentleman, who
will never set the woods and streams on fire,
and, although he may give the democrats
an opportunity to do little extra work, he
will be laid on the shelf in November, and
the country will hear no more of him.

The Conference, Yesterday, Between Ma
ufacturers and Workers.

The Conference, Yesterday, Between Man
ufacturers and
TIE Executive Committee Of the AssOci-
ated Glass Manufacturers and the officials
of the American Flint Glass Workers',,Union
met in Pittsbnrg yesterday morning and
were in continuous session until q late
hour in the afternoon. II was the first
conference held since the beginning Of the
strike last December, at which there were
any tangible prospects of a settlement oil
the existing differences. There was a full
representation Of the manufacturers' com
mittee, which has sole charge of the affairs
in the three districts which have a bearing
upon the strike. Several times during the
meeting the discussion was very animated,
but no bitterness was shown by either side,
those present seeming to be aCtuated by
desire to find a way of ending the exist
ing trouble Towards the end Of thu
conference Chairman Jenkin Jones, o
the manufacturers committee, announced
that the only business which had been dis
cussed were questions that in themselve
were not very important, but which would
probably lead to an arrangement tina
would result in terminating the strike
The consideration OF the rules, he said,
had not been commenced, and no hna
agreement could possibly be arrived a
during that meeting.

Miss Vokes did not meet with the reception

good taste and presented in an altogether
meritOrious manner. We too seldom have
an opportunity of witnessing such perform

the Opera House should have been crowd
ed to the doors each evening OF Miss
Vokes' engagement. Maybe another

she deserves.

The Pioua Thought OF an EDITOR VINO

To The Edu0r of The Register:
SIR:-The following is rather amusing:
The efforts of the curious to discover
the family of "Blinky" Morgan deserve to
fail, very pertinently remarks the Bellalre
Independent. 1t Is nobody's business who
"Blinky" MOrgan's people are; with HIM
alone the public has to deal. In his efforts
to conceal his identity in order to shield
his family, Morgan shows = more refined
nature, murderer though he is, than the
inquisitiye persons. "-InteUigencer.
This is q fair sample of Iteiiigencer ur-
timely enterprise and less timely spleen at
its own lack OF push. 1t is an old plan OF
the Mteliqencer TO wait till the Bellaire
evening papers copy from the REGISTER,
and the nextday to credit the news to Its
first purloiner. But more shameless than
that was its action q few weeks ago when
it copied bodily without the change OF n
word or an elimination, nearly halt a
column Of matter concerning two subjects
from the REGISTER. Gee of these was an
account of q Republican club meeting held
in Martins Ferry, and the other an Item
concerning the Martins Ferry Construc-
ton Company. 1t is surely enterpri7inS
for O partisan paper, which harps more
loudly about its own s~teadfastness to the
party than about its circulation, to copy
bodily from its opponent, the avowed ex,
FOUNDER Of opposition political prin-
ciples, an account of a meeting Of lis own
henchmen. On the same plan Of silence
espoused by it yesterday morning, why
did the InteHigencer print the story about
the poor suspect who was sent up for ten
days, recently? 1t Eve told the people
that his brother in New York State had
been sent to Sing,Sing, a fact which it was
not absolutely necessary 10 have printed.
In fact, the InteLigencer crawls out of a
SCOOP through a hole smaller than that
through which the camel goes.
