A Chance for the Democrats.

The logic of events seems to indicate
that there is a victory in store for the
Democratic party if it will throw off the
domination of the machine by return
to pure Jeffersonian Democracy and de-
monstrate it by complete break with
New England on the tariff, and an open
war with Wall street on finance, and
conduct peoples campaign without
money, relying on principle and patriot
ism. This nust come some time, and if
neither party management has the hon
esty and candor to accept it (they must
see it) they will be largely responsible
for the reorganization of the politics of
the country upon those lines.-National
Economist.

A Plea for the Ugly Girls.

1t does not matter much to a boy
whether he is good looking or the e.
verse He is not obliged to wait for
somebody 10 ask him TO dance, and his
matrimonial prospects don't appear to
suffer any serious discount from per-
sonal shortages that would send a
girls stock away down below par, or
even put her out of the market alto
gether One never sees man so
hideous o. repulsive but that some
woman is ready to marry him, ii he
will only ask her; but men are less
philanthropic, and so the ugly girls SIRE
generally left to run to waste as unap-
propriated blessings. The handsome
is as handsome does theory won't hold
ut all after we get out of the nursery,
and little experience soon convinces
us that it is fraud and delusion, like
that other domestic fiction, about the
drumstick being the choicest part of
the fowl. with which our elders used
to impose upon the unsuspecting sim
plicity of our childhood.
We ugly girls never get any drives
in the park, nor free seats at the thea
ter; and as for ice cream and French
candy, no matter how handsomely we
deport ourselves. re shouldn't know
the taste of either If we waited TO have
1t bestowed upon us as reward of
merit. Indeed, the expensiveness of
being an ugly girl is one of the worst
things about it; there are no Ierquis-
ties We get none of the plums out
of life'.t pudding, for under present
conditions men do all the carving, and,
as one of them says, All the fine
things we think and say about women
apply to those only who are tolerably
good-looking or graceful.
Now, suppose the same rule applied
to men, and that only the oodlooking
ones could hope to attain to wealth and
distinction; suppose, for instance, that
that famous wart on Oliver Cromwells
nose had been sufficient to condemn
him to obscuritv, as it inevitably
would have done had he been woman !;
suppo,e Grover Cleveland's too ample
girth of waist had kept him out of the
White House, as it certainly would
have kept Mrs. Cleveland out had she
been the unlucky possessor of that in
convenient superfiuity; or suppose
David b. Hills bald pate had rendered
him ineligible to the Office of Governor
of New York, as / have not the shadow
of doubt that bald head would rem
der any woman in America Ineligible
to the Office of Governors wife: sup
pose, in fact, that bald head was
sufficient to blast any mans prospects
IN life as effectually as it would any
weman's, i think most of the middle
aged men, at least, into whose hands
this paper may fall, will admit that
that would be a little hard. And, in
fact, isn't it just little hard that any,
body's destiny in life should be made
to depend irretrievably upon an acct
dent over which they have no control
such as having been born with red
head or pug nose? But this is the
law under which women have lived
since the beginning of time, and it
doesn't give the ugly girl fair chance

KING BIRDS IN BATTLE.


Whlo
The trout-fshing season is only
few DAYS old, and yet q. A. Sheets, of
Quigelville, has had an experience that
a whole summer does not often devel-
op. One morning Mr. Sheets rugged
himself out for days sport and started
for one of the babbling brooks that the
trout delight to haunt. While passing
Coal Mountain in the vicinity of Cogan
Station, his attention was attracted by
a commotion some distance ahead. As
he drew near he observed two immense
birds engaged in a combat. So intent
were the combatants with the battle
they apparently paid nc attention to
Mr.. Sheets, who was thus enabled to
draw quite near.
Prompted by curiosity at the strange
battle, the spectator hid behind tree
and looked on with amazement. He
soon realized that the scene was I'M
usual as we'll as novel, foS one of the
birds was an immense golden eagle.
while the other was large hawk. 1t
was a battle for life or death, and.
while the hillsides re-echoed with the
screams of the birds, and the feathers
were flying, Mr.. Sheets could no longer
control himself. especially as the birds
topped around close to where he was
standing. He sprang f.om his place of
concealment and laid hold of the eagle
which had its talons so firmly imbedded
in the flesh of the hawk as to be un-
able to extricate itself, He soon sue
ceeded in subduing the bird and max
ing it captive. In the mean time the
hawk died.
Mr.. Sheets succeeded in carrying
both birds home with him, and in the
presence of several of his neighbsrs
made an examination of them The
eagle was found to measure seven feet
one inch from tip to tip of its wings
and two feet from head to tail. It's
taloas We're eight inches in length.
The hawk measured fonr feet four
inches from tip to tip of it's wings and
was correspondingly large.
The eagle was cared for and on
Saturday was reported to have fully
recovered from the effects of the fight
and gave indications of becoming quite
tame. 1t was ravenous and ate freely
of the food furnished by its captor.
Mr. Sheets is very proud of the bird,
which is very rare in these parts

Razor Freaks.

The finest grades of razors are so
delicate that even the famous Damas-
Gus sword blades cannot equal them in
texture 1t IS not generally known
that the g ain of Swedish razor is so
sensitive that its general direction IS
changed after a short service When
you buy a fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end of the outer point
in diagonal direction toward the ham
die. Constant strapping will twist the
steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent
use will drag the grain outward from
the edge, so that after steady use for
several months the fiber of the steel
occupies position exactly the reverse
of that which it did on the day of pur-
chase. The process also affects the
temper of the blade, and when the
grain sets from the lower outer point
toward the back, you have a razor
which cannot lie kept in condition,
even by the most conscientious bar
Der But here's another curious freak
that will take place in the same tool /:
Leave the razor alone for a month, or
two, and when you take it up you will
find that the grain has assumed its
first position. The operation can be-
peated until the steel is worn through
to the back. -Ndnufdct1trer'S Gazette.

Deserves n Medal.

New York City was the scene of q
little street drama lately which the Sun
thus describes: A cart was delivering
load of coal. The willing horse tried
his best to back the vehicle to the de-
sired spot, but even his great strength
was not equal to the task.
Then the driver began to beat the
animal, and this quickly collected e.
crowd. He was big fellow, with {,
fierce look in his eyes, and the by
ISLANDERS were chary about interfering,
knowing what would follow.
Il pity the horse, but don't want to
get into a row." remarked one.
I'm not in the least afraid to tackle
him." put in young man with long
neck, "but about the time 1 get him
down along will come policeman and
arrest us both"
The driver was beating the horse and
nothing was being done about it, when
little girl about 8 years old APP
preached and said:
please, mister
well, what yer want?"
IF you'll only stop I'll get all the
children around here and we'll carry
every bit of the coal to the manhole
and let you rest while while were doing
it."
The man looked around in a defiant
way, but. meeting with only pleasant
looks, he began to give ia, and after a
moment he smiled and said
"Mebbe he didn't deserve it, but I'm
out of sorts to-day. There goes the
whip, and perhaps a lift on the wheels
will help him."
The crowd swarmed around the cart
many hands helped to push, aud the old
horse had the cart to the spot with one
effort.

over numerous technical points, and day
after day strikes were inaugurated nm
Til three distinct advances in wages were
secured.
In 1857 the dissatisfaction of the men
eliminated in a general demand for 20
per cent advance This was positively
refused by the operators, who offered >
per cent. instead. The workmen de-
rlined to treat on this basis, and the
matter was referred to arbitration. An
authorized committee took the affair in
hand. The mine owners claimed that
they had already allowed advances in
wages aggregating 56 per cent, and the
arbitrator decided in their favor. The
men appealed, arbitration was discarded
as a yalueless eXpedicnt for the remedy
of existing difficulties. and q lockout en-
sued. The struggle that followed was
bitter o,c, replete with hard feeling,
suffering, and loss of time and money for
both capital and labor. Finally, the
mine owners pretty generally conceded
the demands of their employees. A
sliding scale was arranged. whereby the
men were TO receive pay according to
the ruling price of the coke. Some Of
the operators, however, proceeded on an
independent basis, refusing to have any
dealings with labor organizations or with
union men.
Petty difficulties let to serious trou-
bles. The workmen were rcSolute in
new demands and complaints, the own
crs firm. Successive strikes and finally
a general lockout occurred, and all the
elements of disorder were brought into
play. Outside laborers were imported,
the local police and even the military
were called in, eliminating in the ter
rible scenes OF bloodshed and suffering

Germans, and Irish, the two former
acting as miners and the latter as coke
workers. Previous TO that date, for
several years, great depression
had existed in the industry on ac-
count of slack times in the iron trade,
and consequent limited demand for the
product In 1879 the business took IA
decided "boom," however, the oven ca
pacity was doubled and workmen were
in great demand. The contiguous coun-
ties were unable to supply laborers, and
the Pittsburg employment agencies were
resorted 10 by the mine-owneis This
led To the introduction of large numbers
of Hungarians and Poles. Popular
error has accredited these men with dis
placing English speaking workmcn,
which is not the fact-they simply aug
mented the working force and filled a
demand, rapidly acquiring American
ways. The prosperity Of the plants
naturally extended to the men, and led
to Capitalization of principles. Affairs
proceeded smoothly until 1881, when the
Knights of Labor advocated and aided
the first general strike OF the coke
workers Tor higher wag's The strike
was unsuccessful and, after six weeks
of idlencsS, work was resumed.
Capital and labor seemed To agree
on equitable terms during the
succeeding five years. The depression
of 1884, however, had a demoralizing eff
feet on the men. Over half the ovens
were idle. and those in blast put in only
three. quarters time. 1t is claimed that
abuses chargeabe to capital began to
appear; that the men were imposed
upon, and the result was a second strike.
This time success crowned the efforts of
the workmen. It's effect was bad, how
ever, for the tables turned and the upper
hand gained by the majority, the opera
tors seemed TO be marked as victims for
retaliation. Triiling affairs were mag
nited into important issues, the work

that lines the cavity of the abdomen !;
synovitis, with its painful and pulled
out joints, from inflammation of their
similar lining membrane.
A common "cold" is an Inflammation
of the air passages. When it is con-
fined mainly to the nostrils, it is popu-
larry known as q cold in the head, but
medically as coryza.
When it is confined mainly to the
bronchial tubes, il is called bronchitis,
which. when it has gained a permanent
hold. greatly resembles "consump-
tion," and is often mistaken for it by
the people.
Catarrh of the ears aud catarrh of
the Eustachian tubes often cause deaf
ness. Catarrh of the stomach loads
the stomach with tough phlegm and
interieres with dige ,tion. Catarrh of
the gall bladder obstructs the outflow
OF the bile, which is absorbed into the
circulation, and thus gives rise to jaun-
dice. Catarrh of the bladder is dan
gerous disease, from the difficulty OF
getting rid of the mucus.
Two forms OF catarrh are due to
pollen; one, in summer, known as
"rose cold" or shay fever" the other,
in autumn, known as "autumnal ca
tarrh"
The word catarrh, as popularly used,
means either nasal catarrh or bron-
chitis. Nasal catarrh is often helped
by snuffing mp, so as to carry it into
the mouth, weak solution of salt and
water, repeating the operation several
times a day. Where the disease is very
persistent, it is we'll, when possible. to
try change of climate. In bronchitis
the case should be attended by ply

Catarrh.

Catarrh is an inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane. AS the membrane
lines every cavity of the body that has
an outlet, there may he as many diff
ferent forms of catarrh as there are
such cavities.
The closed cavities are lined, not with
mucous mem hrane, but with one that
secretes a thinner fiuid-serum for
lubricating purposes, which is readily
absorbed after doing its normal work.
Still, the Serious membrane also may
be inflamed, and its secretion alb.
normally increased.
Thus we may have pericarditis, with
its water" around the heart, from in
fammation of the membrane that lines
the heart-bag or pericardium pleuri-
sy, with its fluid crowding against the
lungs, and sometimes causing their
complete collapse, from inflammation
of the membrane that lines the chest /;

prints is familiar. The shooting down
of strikers, their murderous retaliation
on non-union men, the evi tion OF ten
ants by the mine owners, the acts Of
lawlessness, vandalism, and incendiar-
ism of the past year fully rival the de-
porabe days of the Mollie Magures.
The men caviIled at their employers, the
latter held them responsible for the
lockout that had ieopardized the best
business interests of the country, and
for months the once peaceful Connells-
