IRON KINGS NOW REJOICE.
Pleased at Shiras' Nomination to
the Supreme Court Bench.


WASHINGTON. July 20.-Thc appoint
ment OF George Shiras, jr., to the vacancy
on the supreme court bench has been the
subject here today of much criticism. 1t
is asserted that the appointment is in a
large measure the result of political
calculation and that political advanta-
ges to the president are expected to fol-
low. Mr.. Shiras, it is pointed out, is the
intimate friend at Pittsburg of all the
iron kings of that section, several of
whom urged him for the appointment,
and all of them, it is asserted, rejoice at
his success. He is not only their friend,
but has repeatedly been their adviser,
and their interest in the presidential con-
test will likely be the greater because of
this recognition of him.
Another point made is that the prcsi-
dent has taken sidesin the factional fight
in his party in Pennsylvania and against
the two senator's. Cameron and Quay
asked for the appointment of another
man, Judge Brown, of Lancaster. Shiras
has always sympathized with the Dali
zell wing of the party as against Quay.
1t was Dalzell, indeed, VINO first pre-.
sented Shiras' name to the president and
organized the fight for him. 1t is Dal-
zell, too, who in his campaign against
Quay for the scntorship this fall will cite
the appointment of Shiras as evidence
that his influence with the administra-
ton is far greater than that of his rival.
The two Pennsylvania senator's are very
much disgruntled.-N. Y. World.

GETTING NON-UNION MEN
TESTIMONY OF THE PINKER.
TONS AT WASHINGTON.
They Make Some Assertions That
do Not Agree with the Original
Accounts by Associated Press
Men OH the Grounds,

PIrTsBURG, Penn, July 22.-The
steamer Tide left here at 0 O'Clock for
Homestead with about forty men on
board, and will continue to make trips
all day, carrying men to Homestead in
connection with the Little Bill which
took up load carly this morning. The
boat was guarded by squad of police
men to prevent trouble at the wharf. At
the office of the Tide it was learned
that the boats would be busy all day
and it is evident that large number Of
men will be sent up. All the morning
men with satchcls and bundles were COM
Ing and going from the Office of the com.
pany, and it looks as if the company
were carrying out their intention to
make good their claim that all the men
needed could be obtained.
AS soon as the Tide left three men,
evidently watchers went into the Monon-
gahela house and sent messages bv the
western Union probably to Homestead to
notify the men there that the boat had
left.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The Pinkerton
brothers were given a hearing this morn.
ing by the house committee on judiciary.
They submitted written statement
which said that the men employed bv
the agency were selected with great care
and only after a ADMINISTRATION OF their
character and antcccdcnts; that they
seldom allowed their men to carry arms
unless authorized by the legal authori-
ties or sworn as deputy shcrins; that
these men have only used arms rs a last
extremity in order to protect life The
Pinkertons say they refused to send
watchmen to Homestead unless he men
were sworn in as deputy sher,lls; that
Deputy Gray advanced the men to Home
stead and distinctly understood he had
power to dcputize them in case of neces-
slty. The instructions to the men were
that they should not be armed unless
deputized by the sheriff. that the boxes
on the barges were not opened and arms
and ammunition distributed until after the
strikers began firing on the watchmen.
Klein had been murdered, the Pinkertons
say, and about five Others wounded be.
fore the men began to fire in self-defence.
Gov. Pattison left for Harrisburg
about noon. Just before leaving he
stated emphatically that no change had
been made in the orders ofthe troops and
none were contemplated.
THE CITIZEN of July 6. with the first
Associated Press accounts of the Home

"As soon as the Pinkertons attempted
to land they were met by firm refusal
from men and battle followed. The
Pinkertons opened fire and at the first
volley two workinen fell. The first
shot OF the engagement came from the
barge. 1t was aimed at big IIunga-
rian who stood at the waters edge. The
ball went wide of the human target, but

How IT LOOKS IN WASHINGTON.

Attorney General Miller was read
ing telegram from Minneapolis to
day when a correspondent called on
him. The telegram said that Blaine's
letter of resignation has proved a
boomerang there. The attorney
general said that the resignation
would have been more effective if it
had been withheld until Tuesday
morning. He looked on Blaine's
resignation as a sure indication that
he was a candidate for the nomina-
ton.
Secretary ElkIns spent an hour
with the president this afternoon.
He will not say anything about the
political situation, except that he is
confident that the president will be
renominated. at is mainly the
Harrison men who are speaking Of a
new man; the Blaine men have
their eyes fixed on one light and re-
fuse to be diverted"
Mr.. Milliken says it is a settled
thing on the first ballot for the mag
netic gentleman from Maine, and
simply deplores the fact that he is
not there to help cheer when the
nomination is announced.

STATEHOOD.

We had begun to think that there
was very little hope for an enabling
act for New Mexico at this congress
when by one of those strange freaks
that take Legislative bodies the bill
for an enabling act for New Mexico,
as we'll as the one for Arizona, was
taken up and passed,as the following
extract from the house proceedings
shows:
"Mr. Washington, of Tennessee,
moved suspension of the rules and
the passage of bill admitting the
territory of New Mexico into the sis.
terhood of states.
"Mr. Perkins, of Iowa, demanded
a second.
"The second having been ordered,
the bill was passed, 1877 to 8, amid
loud applause. The applause was re-
newed when Mr.. Smith, of Arizona,
moved to suspend the rules and pass
the bill admitting Arizona to state
hood. The bill was passed-yeas ia,
nays H."
In addition to the above, the Wash
lngton correspondent of the New
Mexican gives the following as to the
standing of the bill in the senate:
"Hon. T. b. Catron was before the
senate committee on territories, and
has also had a very lengthy interview
with Senator Plat, and the latter,
owing to Mr.. Catron's arguments and
exertions, feels more friendly toward
statehood for New Mexico, and the
chances for favorable action by the.
senate on the bill for an enabling act
are brighter today than they ever
were before. If the bill passes, New
Mexico will be admitted before March
4th of next year."
We hope the above is true, and be-
fore the next nine months are over
we shall drop the word "territory."

wzAT THE PRESIDENCY AMOUNTS TO.

While there is much interest in
the election of president the follow
ing extract from an article in the
Globe Democrat about the office is of
interest to every one:
The Presidency of the United
States is worth more than most
people generally suppose. They look
upon the salary of $4,000 year
which our chief executive gets as his
sole revenue, and every now and then
some newspaper states that it costs
all of this and moro to keep up the
establishment. l don't believe a
word of it. Nearly every president
saves money while he is in the White
house, and the extras which the
president gets are nearly equal to his
salary every year. He pays no rent
in the first place, end be has a fur
nished house free. He has nothing
to lay out on light or heat, for Uncle
Sam pays his gas bills, and he can
have wood fire in every room in his
house from morning till midnight,
and it will not cost him cent. He
has grand conservatory for nothing,
and the choicest of flowers are cut
and placed in his rooms and his ia
bles are decorated with roses in the
middle of winter. The country
keeps up his library, and he has as
many servants as he can use. He
never needs to write letter himself,
and his half-prlced private secretary
keeps the crowd away from him, and
he has photographers and clerks at
his beck and call. He never needs
to open his own door,a if he wishes
to shave it will be strange if one of
the colored boys about the executive
cannot skillfully handle the
razor. The stables which Uncle Sam
has built for him are as fine as many
a house, and his kitchens are sup
piled with copper cooking utensils
and his laundry has stationary tubs
and patent washing machines. The
cost of keeping up the White house,
including the presidents salary, is
more than 100000 a year, and not
withstanding the official troubles of
his position its occupant ought to be
happy.

An English navy surgeon cites an
old method of removing foreign
bodies from the throat, such as pieces
of meat or other solid food, as one
of the best known means of effecting
the desired result. This simple mode
of relief is to blow forcibly into'the
ear Powerful reflex action is thus
excited, during which the foreign
body is expelled from the trachea.
