THAT BACK OF sAwYER's.

Every one of its fat bumps is Indicative of

shoulders, tue firmly set head and the great
powerful arms are emblematic of the sue

back OF a fighter, and here from the gallery

minds one of the bad man from Bitter
Greek His shoulders are thrust forward
and his neck pokes his great head, with its
browning eyes, out from them, and you look
to see the chip on his shoulders which his
manner asks you to knock off if you dare.
And still Vest is good fellow He has
been great. man for years. He was a
member OF the Confederate Congress and

the Democratic side of the chamber. He

inside its broadcl0th coat has lost it's IN

head fastened by thin neck to those stoop-
ing shoulders, and when he begins to speak
you think his words must be coiled up in

How pale and wan she was, poor child,
Was t hunger made her eyes SO wild?
Or was it pain and fear?
Her dress was scrupulously neat,
But poor and thin, the wintry street
Was frozen, dark and drear.
She asked for a few pence for bread;
gave her good advice instead
"Oh, wherefore do you roam,
Unhappy child, this winters day?
10 give thee pence no one will stay;
So why don't you go homeg''
Home, y moaned the child to sorrow stirred,

Strikes no harmonious chordr
Then shamed faced and with dropping head
The little wretched wanderer said,
i have no home-I boarl.''

The x-organ Of the Republican party
OF this city says about Mr.. Sherman that
she is no more Democrat than Repub-
lican."
This is what the Democrats Of this city
had concluded for themselves and did not
require the ex- Republic organ to in
form them. The better element of the
Democratic party is against him not only
in this city but throughout the State. He
Is universally condemned for the course
he has pursued.
The Democrats feel relieved that he has
taken himself out OF their party because
they feared that certain revelations which
are promised In the Courts In q short
time would compel them to decline to re-
nominate him again next spring. As
Mr. Sherman has taken himself out of the
Democratic party, he cannot, OF course,
complain at not being nominated hereaf-
ter by that party for any Office.
The party is to be congratulated for this
relief.

THE GOFF LETTER.

II is difficult to imagine how any fair
minded citizen can vote for the nominee
Of the boiling Republicans next Wednes-
day. The famous Con letter completely
unmasked the schemers and they now
stand out in their true colors. The only
conclusion that can be arrived at is that
poor Mr.. Sherman has consented to be the
submissive tool OF those who want to fas-
ten contracts upon the city.
The corporationists have overreached
themselves. They became too bold. The
City Council has always been fair to them
but they were not satisfied. They wanted
lease OF the city, as 1t were. With q
Mayor OF their own naming and making
they could defy the wishes of the people
But the day has passed whom they could
pick their own Chief Executive.

VICTORY FOR MINERS.

Operators in the Monongahela Valley
Agree to Advance Wages.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March THE long
strike of the coal miners of the Monon-
gahela valley has ended in COM
plete victory for the men. At 10
a. m. the operators met here
and decided to concede the demands
of the strikers for an advance in
the mining-rate of one-half-cent per
bushel, and resume work on Monday.
The strike was one of the longest and
most determined ever known in this
section. 1t lasted ten weeks and
the 5000 men lost in wages
alone over Sl,O00,00O. The absence
of this great sum of money in the
valley has caused great inconveniences
and actual suffering among not only
the miners and their families, but the
great majority of other persons in the
valley dependent directly or indi-
rectly upon the mining of coal
for living. Besides the miners,
this strike has affected great
