A Condition Not a Theory.

From the PottsriHe pa Chronicle.
1t is a condition, not theory, that con-
fronts the 10000 idle workingmen of the
Connellsville region. The campaign pledges,
as fulfilled in the Mckinley tariff bill, prom
ised them protection, increased wages, cheap
er goods. That was theory.
Instead of that they are offered reduced
wages and more expensive clothing, shoes,
food and rent. That is the condition. Prac-
teal experience is an excellent tutor in poll
tics as in everything else. The campaign of
education goes on. But in the meantime
these idle, hungry workingmen and their
families must expect no sympathy from the
advocates of the new tariff "The situation
is encouraging" SIN the present they can
congratulate themselves that, thanks to pro
lection, things are no worse" ''As soon as
the surplus iron and coal stocks are worked
off business will be good
In other words, these 10000 men ought to
be glad they are strong enough to strike.

JuNs,s COMMENCEMENT DAYS.
Closing scehks at West Point and other
Institutions.


WEST poINr, \. Y, June l0.-Over 5000
people ranged themselves about the parade
plains at this place in the afternoon for
the purpose Of witnessing a skirmish drill
by 300 young men who hope some day to
command the smallest yet the best dis
ciplned army in the world. The drill was
the grandest military spectacle Of the sea-
son, and for the hour that the troops were
advancing, retreating and rallying on the
colors not far from 10000 cartridges were
expended. While an incessant firing was
kept up from first TO last, when the roll
call was made as the forces marched into
the barracks there was not single man
missing wounded or killed. After the
board of visitors had been shown how a
skilled commander would deploy skirmish-
ers the troops were given an hour Of rest,
during which time they received the con
gratulations Of their ladies fair, who avail
themselves OF every opportunity afforded
Of saying something to make the boys feel
proud.
Then the evening parade followed with
military pyrotechnics later. Last night
occurred the complimentary hop at the
hotel rendered by the officers Of the post
to the class of '91
AT 10 o'clock this morning there was a
heavy artillery drill at the seacoast bat
terry. The battery consisted Of six pieces
and was fired on range 2100 yards IN
length. The guns consisted Of two i5-inch

NRw YORK, June l0-The president of
the last regularly elected Municipal Coun
ell Of the Irish National league Of this city
makes the following statement;
To rnE PuBuc-In view Of the turbulent
scenes enacted under the name OF the Munici-
pal council, for which disclaim all responsible
ity, brief statement is necessary. The last
regular council in this city was organized in
July. 1880, TO continue for one year At the ex.
piration Of that time July ls90-it was found
thore was not one branch actively existing IN
this city, and AZ a result there were no duly
elected delegates 10 form the now council. BY
consent the officers and Delegates Of the coun.
Gil Of 1889 agreed 20 hold over 10 Jan. J. 1901 IN
view of a possible dissolution Of parliament or
any other cause that might furnish opportunity
for rcviving the league. This opportunity not
having occurred, the council lapsed Jan. !, lsol.
The present so called Municipal council Is
simply an aesemblage Of individuals without
any representative capacity. Through the
absence Of the conservative, thoughtful men
who would be delegates were the league q lily.
ing reality, the majority Of those attending
meetings of the 20 called council are OF the
radical extreme type-"hiilaidem men as they
call themselves. The interest at present
oyipced by those men does not come from q
desire 70 serve the constitutional movement
but they hope thcy may be able 70 WELD what
ever remains q ita machiney FOR tho purpose
Of faction. With them the national movement
is secondary to the personal fortunes Of Mr.
parnell They confound the individual with
the cause OF which he was the once honored
leader Happily the hopes Of Ireland arc NOT
dependent upon them, but win be worked oui
by men with larger conceptions Of the natlona
life. PATRICK GLEASON
