TRADE AND CROP oITTIooKs

The outlook for trade and agriculture,
as given elsewhere from the Dun Agency
reports for this district, is bright one
The diagnosis of the conditions of trade
are valuable, not only for the direct re-
suits obtained, but also for the incidental
remarks on the symptoms and causes
thereof. Pittsburg's growth is not so
rapid as that Of some cities, but in sure
ness it is second to none. Our prosperity
is no forced artificial production to be
blasted by the first breath OF adversity
1t is steady, natural growth, which is
hardy and continuous. AS the report
says, the complaints of low prices heard
from merchants and manufacturers are
rather indicative of public welfare than
anything else.
The fear of trouble in the iron trade,
due to dispute between employers and
employees, is less now than at any time
since the discussion began, and, in fact,
there is every hope for a speedy and
business-like solution of the difficulty.
But the evil resulting to the community
as whole from labor disputes of any
kind which interrupt business cannot be
wv LOCh-OuOo duu
strikes ought to be resorted to only when
every other means of settlement ha S
failed, and with due consideration fro m
parties in dispute such occasions would be
rare indeed.
The i'll effect of bad roads in agricultural
districts is clearly pointed out by the re-
port. But the evil has a further extent
than that, and is in truth the cause of a
partial paralysis of business throughout
the whole country. The farmer cannot be
blamed for seasons which bring him bad
crops, and he is to.be congratulated on the
probability of good yield hereabout this
year, but he is at fault for failing to take
steps to secure good roads Nor are the
farmers alone in the matter, for every
American citizen has reason to blush for
the absence of good American roads.
There is less uncertainty about the COM

THE FRIENDSHIPS OF POLITICS.

One of the peculiar lightning changes OF
politics is afforded in the attitude of the
"anti-admipistration" Pennsylvania Demo
Gratis at Chicago concerning Cleveland and
Pattison. They have for some time been
energetic in insisting that "Codlin's the
friend, not Short, but the object OF their
friendship is subject to the rapid altera-
tions of the political situation.
just before the State Convention it was
heard that anti-administration men were
the true Cleveland men, while the admin
istration wing was simply using Cleve-
lands name as cloak to further Pattison's
ambition. At Chicago, however, the anti.
administration men found out that they
are Pattison's real friends, and they send
home grave arraignments of Harrity for
having sacrificed the chance of the Gov
ernor's life by stupidity sticking to Cleve-
land.
This is quite as amusing as Thomas B.
Reeds changes of fealty at Minneapolis
in illustrating how political friendships
are capable of altering with the phases Of
the moon.

HILL TACTICS DELAY.

The ant:-Cleveland forces at Chicago
gained their point last night in so far as
they secured delay by wrangling over the
platform. The nominating speeches were
reached, but at the late hour when this
was written balloting had not begun, but
the indications were that the Cleveland
hosts would force the issue before morn
ing. This procrastination is significant of
the last throes of the anyone-to-beat
Cleveland men. The nomination of
Cleveland is expected with such certainty
that 1t is difficult to see how his opponents
can gain anything by delay.

10000 TO BE LOCKED OUT.
Knights Of Labor Housesmiths OF New York
and Thar EmuloYers at Outa.

Knights Of Labor Aousesmiths OF New York
and Their Employers at Outs.
NEW YORK, June 2a-Between 200 and 800
housesmiths belonging to the Knights Of
Labor were notified by their employers last
night that unless the organization discon-
tinue the strike against the Architectural
Iron Works by tomorrow morning they Will
be discharged. Between 2 900 and 200 more
will receive tkfs same notification when
they reach their posts this morning. The
leaders of the order of the Knights of Labor
comprehend the gravity Of the situation and
made other terms Fifty thousand men, the
employers say, will be id)e within two
weeks.
. The Knights of Labor have lost pretty
hsd
their own way, and the employers say that
the Knights have harrassed them past en-
durance. Their latest strike is against the
jackson Architectural Iron Works. After
weeks Of deliberation, the members of the
Iron League, which includes the owners Of
all the large iron works in this city, Brook
and promised support OF, employees in ali
other branches in building trades, have de-
cided TO stand by the jackson Architectural
Iron Works ., 81
1t is impossible to say what the builders
will do in case the. lockout affects them. as
none Of them will talk on the subject; but,
according to the members of the Iron League.

against the Knights Ever since the Knights'
defeat in the surface railroad strikes, they
have been slowly but steadily developing
their strength in this one line. There is
very little likelihood of their disseminating
the strike against the Jackson Architectural
Iron Works to morrow. The men will prob
ably take up their tools tonight and go
home and wait developments.
If all the building trades assem-
blies of the Knights Of Labor take up this
fight for the locked-out men. thousands
upon thousands of men will soon be idle, for
the members Of the league will go ahead
employed on those jobs will strike. There
are nearly 1000 organized men in the
building trades, of whom more than three
fourths, it is said, belong to the Knights.

TOO WIDE A FIELD,

A bill has been reported by the House
Committee on Commerce providing for
the adoption of power brakes and auto
matte couplers. The provision requires
for the submission by the railroads of the
country of their preferences with regard
to kind of appliances to be used. If IS
per cent of the votes shall be in favor of
single appliance that shall be adopted; if
not the commission shall make the de-
clsion. The time allotted for deciding
finally and applying the improvement is
five years.
The adoption of automatic couplers and
air brakes is an important question, and
every disinterested person will be glad to
see progress made in it But in the
measure proposed there are at least two
points open to criticism. One is a detail
that may be fully provided for in the
text Of the bill but appears from the
summaries not to exist 1t is that no
distinction is made in the voting for
brakes and couplers between common car
riers which operate few freight cars and
those which operate thousands. We have
never been in favor of showing especial
favors to the great corporations; but in
q matter of adopting certain appliances it
is no more than common justice that cor
poration owning p, 900 cars should have a
little more to say concerning the appli-
ances used on them than one owning but
twenty.
The other question is more serious one

presumably it means that of st. Anthony

that drinking the stagnant and filthy
residue may have caused the death of EN-
mons Blaine. If there is any foundation for
this idea the fact that but one case of dis
ease has yet come to light argues that the
delegates and other visitors to Minneapolis
must have selected their beverages with
great discrimination.
