ADVANCING WAGES.

Pioneer Press.
The advance in the wages of operatives
in leading industries throughout the coun-
try which the Pioneer Press has noted
from time to time has been so widely
extended that 1t is now estimated that
an average increase of 70 per cent. has
been made In the last ninety days in the
wages of 100000 men. And the pleasant
est feature OF this advance Is that in
nearly every case 1t has been due to the
voluntary action of employers. This vol
untary increase in wages has been made
wholly in the lines Of industry in which
there has been a marked increase in the
demand for their products and a rise
in the prices they command. Conspicuous
among them Is the iron trade. The quick
ened demand for iron products was one
of the symptoms of the revival OF busi-
ness activity. Then the exceeding low
prices began to advance little Car
negie thereupon announced n voluntary
advance of 10 per cent in the wages of
2i,000 men. Other Pittsburg manufacture
ers followed his example, and 100000 iron
men are now receiving q like increase in
their pay. Copper, leather, clothing, cot
ton and other manufactures, even wooden
goods, began to recover form the extreme
depression of the market which followed
the panic, and the wages In these
branches of industry were promptly
raised by the employing firms and corpor-
ations. There are still many lines of
manufactures where there has been no
advance in the prices of their products,
but which have a reasonable expectation
of sharing In the general revival of busi- |
ress, which is promised by present in
dcations. In these lines wages have not
yet been advanced because the conditions

CHRISTIAN ENDEAyoR BATTLE
HYMN.


Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic. -
We are living mid the dawnlng Of the
church's glory day;
There Is battle In her doctrine, and
there's triumph In her sway;
The clouds Of sin are lifting, and they
soon shall pass away;
Our cause Is marching on.
Our ears can hear the tramping OF the
great Endeavor band;
we can see their campnres cleaning
through the gloom Of every land;
We can see our captain standing with
his sword within his hand;
Our cause is marching OIL.
There comes from all the nations word
that Christ, our Lord, is king;
He is throned above all idols, and glad
hearts His praises sing;
Let every true Endeav'rer give himself
an offering;
Our cause is marching on.
Our faith looks down the future and
beholds the battle won;
The hosts of sin are vanqIished and
the strife forever done;
Then our hearts win be our garlands
for the crowning of the Son;
Our Christ is marching on.

TWO IDEAL PLACES.

New York Tribune.
Talk begins to be heard about the best
place for the next national Republican
convention. Several New York papers
The Mail and Express, probably the ear
llest-insist that New York is the best
town on the continent for that purpose.
This. OF course. is true, and IL It needed
such gatherings as much as western
towns which get them, and made a tenth
as much effort, no other place would be
thought Of. New York is the one place
everybody wants to come to. Its hotels
receive any possible crowd without
crowding. Its sea beaches have room
enough to wash not merely the delegates
OF both parties, but the voters behind
them. Southerners and westerners for
generations have been accustomed to
seek the summer climate of New York.
We could show them the ruins of Tam
many, and cleaner streets than Tammany
ever dreamed Of; a reform administration

else, with fair field, no favor, the best
man to win, and magnificent town In
which to give the nominees an auspicious
send-off.
If the country does not take to this idea

portunity, ard taken the best that was
offered-it might then do worse than
listen to the talk of the California news
papers. They are urging that the next
convention should be held in San Fran
cisco, and there is no reason why the
idea should not be seriously considered.
The great west, and particularly the Pa
cific coast, is the child of the Republican
party and 1t might be a good thing for
cast as well as west, If 1T should go out
and see how the youngster is getting on.
There would be plenty of people to get
frightened over a national convention in
New York on the ground that the eastern
tendencies for sound money would. be too |
powerful for their favorite 'isms." So |
there might be plenty of people here to |
have similar fright lest a national con-
vention In San Francisco would be
swamped by the free silver sentiment.
Either alarm would be groundless. A
merely local sentiment, not sustained by
sound reason and backed by the convic-
ions of a majority OF the voters through
nut the country, has never swamped a
rational Republican convention yet The
EASTERN delegates would be apt to find
hat the Pacific coast understands finance
,retty well itself. 1t would be liable to

Admiral Walker and Commander Far
enhOlt have united in request that the
people Of Astoria wili take no further no.
tice Of the occurrence on the dock here
last Thursday evening. They are entirely
satisfied that the respectable element Of
the city condemns the men who incited
the trouble. and they prefer that the mat
ter should be allowed to rest with the
sbatement from Commander Farenholt,
contained in this mornings issue. The
Astorian has no desire to push the matter
further at this time, contrary to the
wishes of these gentlemen; and il the in
cident will serve as warning to those
implicated that such conduct will not be
tolerated any longer in this city, on the
part Of anyone, some good may possibly
result from the evil.

CLEVELAND is A CANDIDATE.

Public opinion in the East especially
in Washington has settled down to the
belief that Grover Cleveland is candi-
date for a third term He says nothing
about 1t to anyone. unless 1t be his clos
est political friends; but more than one
of the latter hss admitted in moments
Of confidence that Mr.. Cleveland seeks a
third term as the chief executive of the
nation.
No Republican will object to having
Mr.. Cleveland get nomination next
year, because 1t is perfectly certain that
he is by no means strong enough to break
down the precedent set by Washington,
and followed ever since. He is by no
means so great man as General Grant,
nor 1.-THE as popular; yet Grants third
term aspirations were defeated, not be-
cause Of his personal unpopularity with
his party, but because the "anti-third
term" sentiment in the country was over
whelming.
Cleveland is not strong with his own |
party, nor can he count on any support
from Republicans In point Of fact, |
there is large Democratic element which
bitterly antagonizes him. "A Washington
special says on this point:
A great many Democrats here and Else
where are devoutly hoping that Cleveland
win try 1t again" They are those whose
loyalty 10 their chief has fallen into "In-
nocuous desuetude." They hate him. He
has ignored them. They want revenge
and they say that nothing will so keenly
satisfy them as to see Cleveland TRY II
again." The latter expressions are due
TO the fact that Cleveland would, in the
event OF trying 1t again." suffer defeat
OF such proportions as to make the mag
nitude OF his victory in 1892 sink into in
Significance.
BY all means let Mr.. Cleveland capture
the Democritic national convention next
year. through Mr.. whltney's tactics, as
was done in 1892 The people of the coun-
try will drop MrCleveland with such a
"jounce' as win make his eyeballs Jingle.
