WAYslDE TALK.

The country at large and the mining
sections in particular will be relieved as
the miners go back to work. The busi-
ness men are watching the condition of
affairs, and taking fresh hope in every
move which brings the slightest i'm
provement in the situation. The mi
ners strike has been the cause of
much anxiety, and has entered largely
into the present uncomfortable depres-
sion Militia has been ordered out in
several states, and the amount of vio-
lence during the past two weeks has
been very considerable. With the ces-
sation of mining troubles will come
some improvement in general business,
though perhaps rather slow. We must
have cheap fuel these days, and we can
not get it unless our mines can be
worked properly. For instance, there
were about 40 less pig iron furnaces in
blast on June l than on May l, while
railway earnings have decreased nearly
one-ffth during May The strikers
gained something of an advance in
wages, but the long idleness will be
severely felt by them for some time to
come. The operators have lost heavily,
but, of course, have Jared better than
the miners, while thousands of indus
tries have been indirectly affected. 1t
is thought that the agreement between
operators and miners at the Columbus
convention will be ratified by the most
of the district organizations. Indeed
the PENNSYLVANIA miners are at work
now and it is probable that this week
will see an end of these great labor
disturbances. Absolute want will COM
pei an agreement to the present basis
ri if ~ har ic,
brought to bear. Already the loss in
wages to the miners has been S12, 2,5O0,-
| 600, and the all round cost of the strike
will reach $40, 100000.
| In the senate-well there is some
movement, for literally the grave and
reverend senators have been making
the wool fly. This woolen question is
hard one and will cause a good deal
of unhappy feeling before it is settled to
| the satisfaction of both houses. The
sugar question has not sweetened life
any of late. In fact, it is uncomfort-
able all around in Washington and the
hot weather is not making existence
any more bearable. The sugar schedule
in the senate is getting roasting and
| there is liable to be fierce contention
over it one of these days. The great
sugar scandal is occupying the attention
of the investigating committee, and
there seems to be general feeling of
unworthiness, possibly of Improbable
ness, i'm all this business by some of our
honorable members. 1t is idle to spec
ulate on results but i'm all human prob
ability some sort of tariff legislation
will pass both houses in the course of
time the president will affix his sigma
ture to it and we shall survive the
shock. 1t looks now as if it would be
cold, bracing weather before we shall
be called upon to stand up and take our
medicine which is to be given in the
form of tariff pills. There is plenty OF
time for further preparation on our part
and besides it won't be half as bitter as
we thought at first.
In the meantime, just note with what

Flight is, indeed, confession, in the
case of Boss Croker. And-this will
touch our "tariff' reformersn in a tender
spot-his disappearance spoils the last
chance of securing Democratic MAORI
ties in New York next fall. Without
the Tammany ''pull" and the Tammany
treasury filled with the forced contribu-
tions of vice and iniquity, New York is
as reliably Republican and protection
ist as Massachusetts, Journal.

The war between labor and capital
or what generally goes by that name
has actually begun with organized
armed forces. 1t is not, however, ex-
actly war between labor and capital.

swiftness the American yacht Vigilant
made the ocean trip preparatory to tax
ing her place in the races in British
waters. Isn't it refreshing to turn from
business and politics to transatlantic
sports especially when our country is
well represented there? The Vigilant
was fourteen days, thirteen hours and
forty-four minutes in making the voy-
age. This is the shortest time on rec
ord made by a sloop yacht, and beats
the Valkyrie over the same course.
Keep your eye on the Vigilant. She
was built by an American boat-builder
and carries the stars and stripes. She
is owned by the Gould brothers and
will be sailed for all she is worth. Sue
cess to the Yankee boat.
The Lexow investigating committee,
now in session in New York city, is
unearthing some very dirty business
and it would appear that the beginning
of the end of Tammany misrule is at
hand, Judging from the testimony of
witnesses who are before the committee
from day to day. There is an easy way
provided for those who wish to keep
dens of infamy. Green goods dealers
and other swindlers are allowed to ply
their vocation without danger of police
molestation. How is this? Simply by
paying money for protection. When
Gov. Flower declared that New York
was one of the best governed cities in
the state, he must have been very igno-
rant of the true condition of affairs
there. When he vetoed the appropria-
ton bill of sos, 900 to defray the cost of
this police investigation, he must have
had great faith in Tammany's honesty.
However, there is nothing which can
stop the whirlwind of righteous wrath
of press and people when once aroused.
1t appears that to keep disreputable
house or an unlicensed saloon in the
city of New York, it is only necessary
to pay the police captain in whose dis
trict it is located an Imitation feeo OF
$500 and a regular monthly sum of 500
besides. 1t is not probable that this
tax goes only to captains and theil
wardmen. There must be many strings
to such a system of squeezing and by
and by we shall find out how the money
was distributed. 1t is no wonder Crok.
er was taken suddenly sick and forced
to travel abroad. 1t will be strange il
there is not more sickness among the
chief Tammany men, for it is a mighty
unhealthy time in New York for sucf
as they. When DIR. Parkhurst first
commenced war upon protected vict
he was laughed at by many good people
and was poorly supported by the press
but to-day there is such a public senti
ment in favor of decency that there cal
be but one result-a complete change il
the city government. Even Mayor Gil
roy says the revelations, as shown u
by the committee, are simply shock
ing. What will be..done about it? w
shall see.

We met him in the south, young
man with feet so drawn out of shape
by rheumatism that he could walk only
with great difficulty. He had wan
dered from northern home, and when
we first saw him was living in monn-
tain ''shack." 1t would be hard to ex-
plain how he existed all that we know
is that he did, and was not beggar.
His intelligent face was marked with
lines of trouble, but he would not talk
of the past, except to say that he left
his home with his boyish fancy fired
to succeed or die. We think he ran
away he did not say so. Poor fellow +;
success was out of the question; he
must fare badly, or give up his stubborn
pride and return home, an old man at
20, a failure in life. He always said he
would stay among southern mountains,
and when the time came, lay down in
his wretchedness and die. Loved ones
may be searching for him hearts may
be aching for the wanderer; it is most
probably SO. The miserable pride and
and unsOund reasoning that brings such
sorrow is master of the man. Will
wisdom ever come to such as he? Per
haps it may.

The Kansas City Mail tells a story of
a congressman who, having submitted
himself to the manipulation of ven
erable colored barber in Washington,
was told: "Do you know, sab, you re-
mind me so much of Dan'l Webstah ?n
OF course the congressman was greatly
pleased at the compliment, and he
smiled visibly. He would have straight
ened up promptly had he not had his
head in a barbarous chancery, so to
speak. ''Indeed," he said. "Shape of
my head, l suppose?" This staggered
the aged colored man somewhat. He
had not expected a question in reply,
and had merely laid the foundation for
his complimentary bluff, never think
ing that there would be call for an
explanatory superstructure. ''No, sab, !"
he stammered in reply. Not yo' head,
sab. It's yo' breff.n

In the beautify ing and Improvement
of the streets, aud the town seems
to be slowly awakening from Its
lethsrgy and indifference under a
different and less feverish and un-
real condition. One Of the most
important subjects for the attention
of property owners and tho coun-
Gil is the condition. of the wooden
sidewalks. In many places these have
been rendered almost useless by de-
predations during the extreme cold of
the past month, durin 3 which the side
walks served to furnish fuel to class
or the population. Tie Broadway
sidewalk from Alexander Street north
is almost entirely destroye d. That on
north Poplar street has ia red almost
as badly, and In the south en- d Of town
the condition Of tho walks is equally
bad. The Poplar street walk. IL used

and Is one Of the most imp ortant
in the city. Its condition should be
remedied as soon as possible.

The large attendance of Hypatias
that assembled IN Mrs. Kretschmar's
parlor, showed that an unusually in-
teresting meeting was anticipated, for
Mrs. Somerville was to deliver an ad-
dress upon Lucy Stone. Think of the
revolution of feeling that the years
have evolved when Southern woman
could deliver an eulogy upon that
radical reformer, Lucy Stone, to q
roOm-full of Southern women, who
listened with profound admiration
aud undated interest to Mrs. Somer-
ville's able lecture upon the public
career OF this remarkable woman
whose ettort dealt death-blow 10 the
most cherished sentiments and tradi-
tions of the South.
Mrs. Nance read beautiful disser-
tation upon the "formation of dew

dark clouds, aud with their effalgent
warmth vivify and animate with re-
newed hope and fortitude troubles in
this life.
Miss Smythe's essay upon the relig-
lous views of the great scientists aud
speculative Philosophy was very
instructive, and the subject treated In
a masterly manner.
Mrs. II. +. Dunbar's article upon
"Pubhc Charities aud the apparent
inadequacy Of any system to rescue
aud elevate the criminal classes, was
very fine, she says: "Abject want Is
the first aud foremost Of all crime
causes. Crime throughout the coun-
try keeps pace with the relative growth
OF urban populations. The conditions
of life in the crowded tenement houses
where family privacy is impossible
and any benetcent home Influence is
neutralized by contact with vice, then
there Is the hereditary predisposition
to special forms of crime. Men are
largely what progeuitors have made
them. Ancestral traits are recurrent."
Her essay was listened to with pro-
found attention.

II is incredible that tho sanctity of

but complaints are numerous Of acts
of vandalism committed even on pri-
vste lots. Flowers are pulled, and
even pulled up by the roots, in open
defnauce Of the protests of the sexton
aud fhe rights of the owners of the
lots. The sexton is under contract
with the cemetery association for the
care and protection Of the graves and
plots committed to him; but claims
that bis remonsirances, and even the
showing of his contract are of no
avail. This state of affairs cannot be
tolerated. The cemetery association
will at once take the matter in hand
and post notices warning the public
against trespass. In future any rope

Is an acknowledgment of the excel

Thursday afternoon was marked by
one of the most violent rain storms
which have visited the town for years.
For an hour the rain descended in tor
rents, mingled with large bailstones
aud high wind, and flooding the streets
aud yards. The storm ceased as sud-
denly as 1t came, aud the surplus wa
ter was quickly drained away. AT
about midnight another storm arose,
accompanied by a remarkable electric
display. One terrific and simultane-
Gus fash and crash of lightning ana
thunder extinguished every light In
the city, aud shocked every man about
the electric plant, one colored watch
man being knocked down and for a
time supposed to be killed. The elec-
trio storm was followed by rain which
continued all night.
