TIE NEW YORK Herald saya: "No con-
slderatons OF gain animated the mighty hosts
which swept over the Confsderacy and saved
its people from the madness of their rulers"
AS Considerations of gain" have always
been northern characteristics, and as senti-
ment is ridiculed in the North, 1t is not at
all probable that the people of that section
imported foreign armies to invade the South
for any suoh sentimental consideration az
the saving Of the people of this section from
the madness of their ralers;" and es MT
Lincoln sold the war was not undertaken to
free the negroes, and as the North was made
rich, at the expense of the South, by the
war, the belief that 1t wac prosecuted for
considerations of gain is ineradicable.

THOUGH THREE murders and two mur-
derous assaults, most OF the victims being
negroes, were committed in Cincinnati last
Saturday night. the attention OF Congress
has not been called to such bloodthirsty
condition of aff.irs. But then, it must be
recolected that Ohio is northern State
and always goes republican at Presidential
elections, and that In republican eyes the
degree of crime is not estimated by its effects,
but by the geographical eection In which 1t
may be committed.

Recent investigations have brought out somo
new facts concerning the behavior of Lightning un-
der ce, .iu conditions After examination Of sew
ersl trees which hsd been struck by lightning. it
was found that those which were struck before
the failing of rain were shattered, while those
which were struck after the rain began we're SIM
ply scored and had the bark more or less blown
eff. These phenomena poirt to the fsct that dur
ing rain every tree is conducting electricity.
Other considerations affecting the issue are the
position of the Cloud the smount of foliage on the
tres it's conditions of moisture and its connection
With running water.

The PRICE of silver bullion has advanced
from II to 9S cents an ounce since the pas
sage of the silver bill. The owners of the
silver mines were rich before, but this sd-
vance has made them millionaires. Has the
little money in the pocket OF single one OF
the many Virginia farmers who signed petit
lions for the passage of the silver bill, been
increased to the extent of one cent by the
passage of that bill? Still, as this is free
country, in which the fright" ofpetition can
not be denied, they had the right to sign The
petitions referred to, and the rich silver mine
owpers have the right to profit thereby.

it could have broken the blockade of Its

Some nfachiuists Receive Concessions. w bile
Others Join the Strikers.
Some machine shops yesterday agreed to
give their men the nine-hour day, while
men in other shops came out for the demand.
Hugh Boles, who on Saturday notified his
men that be would concede the point, yes
terday refused to do so, and his men came out
again. The ten men employed in the Pitts
burg Forge and Iron Company's shops also
came out yesterday. About 75 men In the
National Tube Works shops are out. The
100 machinists employed bv the Westing-
house Fuel and Gas Company yesterday
presented petition to the management for
the nine-hour day. They expect an answer
by Saturday next Twenty men employed
in the Sam Trethway Company's shops,
Forty-seventh street. came out yesterday.
A committee representing the 80 or 40 ma
chinists employed in Oliver & Roberts
Wire Mill yesterday presented petition to
the management for the short hours, with
notification that unless the concession was
made they would come out to-day.
1t was stated at machinists' headquarters,
that the Standard Underground Cable Com
pany's men had petitioned for shorter hours,
had been refused and were out Manager
L. w. Wucu sccu NJ lu6 R6ueTdl
Office, said that he was unaware of any pc
tltion having been addressed either to him
or any other official. He could not under
stand it, he said, as his company only en-
ployed three machinists, and very few other
men, the work being mostly done by boys
and girls.
As already stated in THE DISPATCH the
movement of the machinists in this city is
initiatory of similar agitation purposed
to spread throughout the country. The
trade has the orders of the Federation to
that effect. As corollary to or side effect
of the present movement among the organ
ized machinists, the 500 craftsmen of the
trade employed in the local railroad shops
will be brought within the union lines. 1t
is said that a certain amount of discomfort
exists among them because they were not
admitted to participation in the existing
agitation. 1t is claimed that they receive
less pay for longer hours than the other men
do. 1t is said that petition will be pre-
sented at the proper time, to the seversl
companies, for shorter hours and better pay.
The machinists employed by the Pleasant
Valley line were yesterday notified that
they could return to work at the terms asked.
These were 10 hours pay for 9 hours work;
Sunday work to be dispensed with, and over
time to be paid for as time and half.

FAILED TO ORGANIZE.

The Sons of Mexican Veterans to Form an
Association in Pitt.burR.
A meeting of the Sons of Veterans of the
Mexican War was called for Monday evening
at the Office Of W. W. Campbell, Esq,
Diamond street, for the purpose Of organi-
zation. As the notice of the time of meet
ing was very short, and not many were
reached, the attendance was slight and the
meeting was postponed. 1t is the intention
to form d social and beneficial organization,
and as there are large number of descend
ants of soldiers of the Mexican War in this
part of the State, strong association can be
formed. There are about 500 in Allegheny
county alone. Pittsburg and Allegheny
cities will be first taken in, and then the
whole of Western Pennsylvania will be or
gauized. Sons and grandsons of veterans
will be eligible. and it is the intention to
perpetuaie the order. There Is no similar
organization in the Middle or Eastern
States, but strong associations exist in the
Southern and Western States.
The date for the next meeting has not
been fixed, but those interested desiring in
formation can secure it from Mr.. Campbell.
The meeting will be held at an early date.

A Device for Rendering Accidents Less Dan.
gerous In their Results.
W. Y. Brady, draughtsman in Architect
George S. Orth's Office, has invented an ap-
pliance for rendering less serious accidents
that may occur on traction roads. He calls
it the Adjustable Life Saving Guard for
Street Cars" A curved cradle of pliable
steel bars is secured within runners to cor
respond attached underneath the floor Of the
cab. A lever within reach Of the operator
admits of the cradle being drawn up be-
hind stationary guard attached to the
front of the car, and lowered at will when
necessity should arrive.
The principle is of series of pliable
bars, covered with leather and rest
ing in iron shoes, which. when lowered,
would run close to the ground and receive
on it anything, person or impediment which
the car might strike. 1t is claimed for it
that while not preventing accidents, it
would render them less serious, and save
loss of life.
