Blaine came here to speak tor the Bepublioan Btate ticket to-night, and through the State daring the week. He came at the de- ! sire of the Young Republican Club, 'which num­ bers among its members Mr. Blaine himself. President Stewart presided at the meeting, or rather the principal one of two meetings to­ night Bis place was on the stage of the Acad­ emy of Music, an overflow meeting going on at the same time in Horticultural Hall, next door. The Academy, Horticultural Hall, and all of Broad street were simply jammed. Mr. Blaine himself said that he did not want any fuss made; but, then, thous- sand and thousands of his admirers--the men who had helped to give him a majority of 82,000 in this State two years ago--had made up their minds to the contrary, and there was no stopping them. The city turned out its thou­ sands, and the interior towns, all the way to Pittsburgh, sent their contingents, the Pennsyl­ vania Koad running special excursion trams. People besieged the club's headquarters and begged for tickets all day. Secretary Lockhart would often exclaim: "This beats everything. I never saw the like of it. Ten Academies would not accommodate all the people who want to hear Blaine." It is snid that 20,000 tickets were given out and as many more could certainly have been disposed of, while the Academy seats less than 4,000. So it will be seen Major Lockhort was within the limit when he spoke. After a good rest and a light supper Hr. Blaine, his son, and a few gentlemen represent­ ing the local Committee of Arrangements drove to the Academy in carriages. The stage was already packed so greatly and with such lack of skill in the management that the members of the press were greatly impeded in their efforts to give to the public what Mr. Blaine might think fit to say respecting the political condition of the nation. Mr. Blaine had been preceded in his address by speeches made by Charles Emery Smith; the editor of the Press, and John Stewart. Mr. Blaine touched only upon the subjects that he has heretofore discussed this fall--the tariff, negro suffrage in the South, and the ques­ tion of prohibition, and that of colored labor in the South in competition with white labor. He treated them all in the spirit t!iat he and the aggressive element of the Republican party have usually shown respecting them. "Mr. Chairman," said he, "no party can live upon its record any more than a man can live by claiming an honorable ancestry. The party should claim popular approval for what it shall do rather than what it has done." He then spoke of the working people's millions in the saving funds as evidence of the benefits of a protective tariff. The six leading manufacturing States have a thousand millions to the credit of the wage- workers in such banks, against only four hun­ dred millions for all tho wage-worliers in Great Britain and Ireland. From the time of the Declaration of Independence to the inaugura­ tion of Lincoln all the foreign shipments from this country amounted to about fc7,l:0J,030,000, while in the twenty years under the protective tariff the exports reached $12,000,000,000. Could there be a stronger illustration than that while we are enabled to control the policy of foreign nations we should, of necessity, have A controlling pillcyof our own? A free-trade writer in this country, who would be a man of very great fame if others thought of him as he thinks cf himself, suggests the discovery that really we have a gre^t deal of free trade at home. From the time we had the first national contest of the liepublican party we have spread our country over an area as large as the con­ tinent of Europe, with millions constantly in- creasin.», with a continental area of over thirty- eight States and nine Territories. We exchange without let or hindrance, or tax custom, or any obstruction whatever. Where is there a par­ allel in the world V What nation in the world can show you any parallel, when a Philadelphia manufacturer can send his product through thirty-eight States and nine Territories, over :VHX),000 square miles of area without a single penny of tax ? England has no such free trade. They levy duties on her in Canada, one of her provinces. They levy du­ ties on her in Ireland. She hasn't absolute free trade even in Australia or Ireland. If there be virtue in jav.to tion we have it, and there never was a nation in the world that was so fitted for a protective policy as the United States. I am not going to argne over the whole field to-night. I will not argue whether a country like Canada, for instance, producing practi­ cally but one or two things out of the soil, is fitted for protection; but here we stand, with all the cereals, with cotton, sugar, and all products--a great world's exchange within ourselves--I say whatever can be as well made here as in other countries should be mode here. Now a great heresy is sought to be introduced into Pennsylvania, and if successful it would prove a great disaster to the doctrine of protec­ tion. If any calamity should happen to the po­ sition of Pennsylvania, that has borne this fight on her o wn broad shoulders, in season and out of season, in discouragement and in triumph, stttatkm. X thlnk l am oorreet in saying thai w« voted to brine Tennessee in upon talamtkio information. That reconstruction bill said that hereafter, instead of being citizens of the United .States because we are citizens of some individual Kate, we shall be citizens of the United States, and in virtue of that fact be citizen! at any State in which we may choose to reside. In the next place we said, "Here is a great debt inoonedfin saving the Union, and we ought not to leave that debt subject to the ad­ verse majority in Congress," and therefore its sacredness and its obligation to pay it was in­ corporated in the amend-nent. And beyond that we said: "Here are thou­ sands ana tens of thousands of men who have been braised and bleeding, and tens of thou­ sands of others who went down to death, and their widows and orphans must be taken care of," and the obligations to pay pensions was embodied in that amendment. And this was also embodied, that the active men in the rebellion should not be permitted to partici­ pate officially in the government of the United States until their disabilities were removed by a two-thirds vote. A provision was pnt in, "Ton shall regulate your own suffrage, but on this condition, that if you exclude any number of men from the right to vote you shall cut down your representation in Congress in the same proportion as you carry on that exclusion." We said to the South, "You shall come in under these terms. We no longer submit to the old rule, which first made chattels of men and th:m said three-fifths of these chattels shall be represented in Congress." The rebels, their hands still dripping in the blood of Union men, said: "We shall not be content with the old three- fifths representation. We want to exolude the colored men altogether from participation In suffrage, and we want to count them in our rep­ resentation and thus get the whole five fifths of our representation." It was then that the Re­ publican party. said to the white men of the South: "If you will go with us to reconstruct the Union all will be well. If you reject those terms we will call upon the whole body of people in the South and the loyal colored man, who in the judgment of the Republican Congress was a bet­ ter voter than any reconstructed rebel who would not consent to any form of government." We forced that issue; under that reconstruc­ tion act they came in; but as soon as they got possession they trampled on everything to wjtiieh they had agreed, and said, "You can en­ dow these men with suffrage, but we will show you that they can't exercise itand from that time to this they have put thirty-five fraudu- 1- ut representatives in almost overy CongTess since they got control. At first they said, "We will not have any colored Representatives here." No, they didn't say that at all; they said, "We won't have no niggers here." They cut that out. Then they said, "We won't have any white men that come from the North," so that the carpet-baggers all had to leave. In three of the Southern States the majority of the population is on the part of the colored vote, and in many districts of the rest the col­ ored man largely outvotes them, if allowed to vote. I was rash enough a few weeks ago in a Subtle speech in Maine to point out that the orthern workingmau was already--and would be still more, day after day and year after year --thrown into competition and flooded with a million and a half of Southern workers with dark skin, and that with the rate of wages paid to that million and a half of colored men in the South the competition against white labor was going to be ruinous. I repeat here, that while you pay 81.75 to men who are making pig iron in Pennsylvania and Ohio, they are making pig iron in Alabama and paying seventy-five cents a day; and those two products must meet in the same market. The Democratic party is answerable for it. They wish, on the one side, to break down the tariff and throw tho Northern laboring man into com­ petition with foreign ill-paid labor, and at the same time, by maintaining the dominance of the Southern Democracy, to bring up the 1,500,- 000 and soon to-be 2,000,COO workers upon not more than half the wages that Northern men get, in many cases not one-third of it. I was talking with a distinguished Southerner from North Carolina not long since, and, speak­ ing of the condition of the Southern laborer, he asked me what I thought was the average cost of the house, if vou can dignify it with that namo, in which the great majority of the field laborers of the Soutu were sheltered, and he gave me the assurance that it was not more than S9; that the house that covers these labor­ ers who, by this nefariouB political proceeding are threwn into direct conflict and direct com­ petition with Northern laborers, are sheltered in houses that do not cost for their construction more than 810--not more than the average price of a decent pig-pen of a Pennsylvania farmer. Well, we are met finally in the columns of such papers as the New York Times, the Even- ing Post and others of that ilk with "What are you going to do about it ?" They say: "It Is true, and now how are you going to help your­ selves?" My fellow-citizens, there never was an arrogant wrong yet whose defenders did not reply with that insolent taunt. I will tell you what we are going to do about it. We are going to arouse not merely the opinion of this country, but a public opinion as broad, as strong, as deep, and as burning as that which has forced the British Parliament to oonsider the condition of Ireland. We will arouse as strong a public opinion as that which forced Russia to liberate the serf, a popular sentiment as irresistible as that which last week wrung from the Spanish Queen an edict that liberated the last slave in Cuba. We will arouse a public opinion which, in the language of Mr. Webster ou a celebrated occasion, will make the public atmosphere so hot that the offender cannot breathe it and live. History Usually Repeats. If the Democratic party treats Mr. Cleve­ land as the Democratic party has treated every other Northern Democrat who has been President, he will be obliged to seek the seclusion which Buffalo grants, as soon as his present term expires. Two things are noticeable in the relation of the Demcoratic party to the Presidency. First, the Southern Democrats have had Discussed from a Republican Stand* point by Senator John fiber- Ban, of Ohio. * has led in this great fight and has borne upon the Presidency three times as long as the j "Northern Democrats. Nino Presidential terms have been filled by Southern Demo­ crats, three by Northern Democrats. This shows where the ruling element of the par­ ty is, and shows that what the Solid South demands is generally granted by the rest of the party. Second, not a single Northern Democrat who has been elected President has been given a second term. The South reluct­ antly conceded to the North the privilege of naming a Democratic President three times. But it absolutely refuses to allow a Northern Democrat to be renominated. Pierce of New Hampshire, Martin Van Bmen of New York, and Buchanan of Pennsylvania were the only Northern Democrats before Mr. Cleveland who had been elected President, and not one of them was given the compliment of a re- nomination. On the other hand every Southerner who was elected I'resident was renominated, except Polk, who expressly declined a renomination, in accordance with the promise he had made before he was elected that he would serve but one term. Mr, Cleveland also declared before his election his conviction that one term was enough for any President. It would not be strange if the South should take him at his word. The precedents are all against hit renomination, and history has a way of re­ peating itself that must make Mr. Cleve­ land feel blue when he ruminates over the past.--Des Moines Register her broad shoulders this great saving doctrine, even as JCneas, our great ancestor, from the flames of Troy old Anchises bore--if anything Bhould happen to destroy the position in this ' great Union of Pennsylvania on this great question, there is no man living in its broad borders capable of estimating the damage to the United States of America. Those who are propagating this great heresy are the intemperate men who are attempting to do it in the name of temperance. We bad that issue in Maine, and I beg to take the position of a narrator for a moment. For nearly thirty years Maine has maintained a prohibitory law. That has been the deliberate judgment of her people by decisive majorities. The average citizens of Maine thought, with . thirty years' experience, after a great deal of discouragement at times and a great deal of encouraging triumph at other times, that they knew something about that question as per­ taining to themselves. But suddenly a great light flashed upon them and the third party was organized to instruct the people of Maine that the way to promote temperance was to divide its friends into factions and commit that great virtue and grace to the tender mercies and the friendly embrace of a temperance party. Now, your situation in Pennsylvania is not unlike the same, and I am "not here to argue what it should be; I am discussing the situa­ tion just as it was presented. As I understand it the Republican party of Pennsylvania has said through its organized convention that the people of the State shall decide that matter. That is what the people of Maine suid thirty- years ago. It is the very essence and strength of republican institutions that the majority shall govern. That won't sust the temperance men who are running the third party at all. I believe that, while there are many honest and upright men in Pennsylvania, as in Maine and other States, and some who may be misled and exercise misjudgment--I believe, from my ex- Serience in Maine ftnd my knowledge of what as trunspired in that State--I believe it is the deliberate intent and obvious purpose of the third-party movement to secure by a moral • treason the triumph of tho Democratic party. I believe the people of Pennsylvania, who above all other people in any State have given to the people of the country the immeasurable blessings of a doctrine of protection, will not be diverted by a movement of this kind, and I say here--for I am repeating what I have often said ' in mv own State--that if they should succeed in breaking down the protective tariff of this coun­ try and introducing free trade, they would give a more deadly blow to the cause of temperance than any other fact that could happen to the country. Why is far less liquor consumed among the laboring men of the United States than of Great Britain? Why, if you grind a man down with low wages until he sees no hope, the first suggestion to a large number of minds is: "Well, I might just as well get drunk," and if a man sees no hope beyond, he can't earn enough to put a good roof above his family. When tho tide of fate has so turned against him that he sees no way out and has no hope he is fitted for any desjierate deed, and it may be lucky for society that he does no greater crime than simply get drunk. So that any man in ^Pennsylvania to-day who risks a free-trade crisis in a vague cluteh for the third party is most unwise, if he doesn't deserve a more significant epithet One of the honorable speakers who preceded , me referred to the question which in many of our preceding years has been debated as the Southern question, and which, I grieve to say, from the discussion of which the Republican party has been aomewbat shamed by unworthy influences. I beg to present one or two ideas upon that question. I do it the more readily, because I am here as tho guest of the Young Republicans, and I want to speak of some facts that antedate their experit nee. One of the most common accusations is that the Republican party got no more than it deserved for forcing negro suffrage on the South. *Now I stand here to deny that, and I call all men beyond 53 years of age to atteBt what I sav. And I specially call • trpon my friend, with whom I served years in Congress (Judge Kelley), to attest the accuracy of my narrative. When the Republicau party approached tho question of reconstruction there was not one man in li,000 that then thought of forcing suffrage upon the colored men of the South. They practically said: "You have a " very large number of men without education suddenly made free, they need education, they I need experience. They need training, and we * will readmit you into the Union and leave that question for you to solve yourself." And in that Bad Influence. "Why don't yon ride inside the ciu-? What do you freeze On the platform for?" "Can't do it." "Why not?" "Believe in spiritualism now. They call ine a very sensitive negative. Impressible to all kinds of influences." "How does it affect you?" "If I get among a lot of people, my mentality gets dissipated, and magnetism affects everybody." "Too bad; but glad you'ie so conscien­ tious. Saw a man just like you the other day. Said he was similarly affected. Rem­ nants of past meanness kept clinging to him, and would affect a whole car load. Wouldn't intrude on people, non-con­ geniality. Bides down on the cattle-train (lummy now." • On The Street-Gar. "Did you see that fellow who just jumped off the car?" "Yes." "I came near smashing him." "What for?" "Trod all over my feet. Good thing he got off, or I'd have licked him." Excited passenger looks after receding object of discussion. "Do yon moan the lit­ tle, undersized fellow, or the big. heavy man?" "The little one." "The miscreant! Son it's the little one? Why didn't you tell me? I'd have jumped on him myself!" IT costs the men who support the saloon as much or more money than those who support the church, and yet their outlay does not make them first citizens.

[Report of a speech delivered at Portsmouth, Ohio.] In the oonrse of his remarks Mr. Sher­ man spoke of the Republican party as be­ ing progressive in all things and character­ ized the Democratic party as a party of opposition, resisting at every point all the great measures of Republican policy. After reviewing the position of the two par­ ties in the past political conflicts, he said: The Democratic party, by the vote of the Electoral College, is now in control Of the executive branch of the Government. Gro­ ver Cleveland, who lived, and moved, and had his being during all these years in Buffalo, N. If., without showing a particle of feeling or sympathy for the Union cause, without a name or a record as a citi­ zen or soldier, until he was recently elected Sheriff of his county, is now President of the United States. This is a most remark­ able fact, and the causes which led to it are well worthy the consideration of the Ameri­ can people. It was brought about, not by the discontent of the Republican masses, for the preat body of them, embracing large majorities in nearly all the loyal States, heartily supported the Republican nominees, but by a coalition between the States lately in rebellion and the 'City of New York, aided no doubt to some extent by the usual and natural defections and personal controversies growing oat of a long administration of power by a single party. And now, fellow citizens, after eighteen months' trial, are you satisfied with the Je­ suit of the change? Have Mr. Cleveland and the Democratic party adopted any policy or proposed any measure that can be of any possible service to the people of Ohio or of the United States? In thinking over what I should say to you upon this subject I have read over his message, and, especially, his vetoes, and the more I read the more I wonder how he came to be President of the United States, and, es­ pecially, what cause led to such a change. More than one-third of. his message is de­ voted to our foreign relations, and in that he says: "There are no questions of diffi­ culty with any foreign Government," and highly commends the foreign policy of pre­ vious administrations. So here was no cause for a change. But what shall we say of his management of our foreign affairs? Our fishing ves­ sels are seized and detained for purchasing bait at Canadian ports, a ri^ht claimed and exercised for half a century, no firm re­ monstrance made, but a gentle and pro­ longed negotiation is going on with the British authorities to coax or buy a right or privilege only now denied, i do not wish to criticise until I know all the facts which we may be able to learn next winter. But this general dalliance with Great Britain is in striking contrast with the blustering de­ mand made upon our neighboring republic, Mexico, for the possession of a characti r- less American adventurer, who, in Mexico, violated the laws of Mexico, and seems to have been too mildly treated for his of­ fense by the Mexican authorities. I regret to say that I see nothing in the character or fitness of the men sent to represent us abroad or in the management of foreign affairs that can at all compare with that of Seward or Fish. But the people of the United States care but little for foreign di­ plomacy, but would like fewer Confederate brigadiers and more American patriots to represent even a Democratic administration abroad. In referring to the President's stand on the question of protective tariff, the Sena­ tor said: The President treats the tariff as gin­ gerly as a monkey would a hot potato. He fee's it, and runs from it. He favors the reduction of the tariff, but thinks it should be made on duties on imported necessa­ ries of life, while the truth is that the American manufacturer now makes nearly all such articles consumed in this country, and the duties collected are mainly from articles of superfluity or luxury. There is not in his message one open, manly word in favor of the protection of American in­ dustry, but this is called "a pretext for a Erotective policy." Undoubtedly the great ody of those who elected Mr. Cleveland are "free traders," and would, if they could, bring American laborers into a hard, close competition with the cheapest labor of Europe, and they will creep in that direction as fast as public opinion and the necessities of revenue will permit. Honest men may differ about the effect of protective duties, but no honeBt man of ordinary intelligence can doubt that the tendency and spirit of the Democratic par­ ty are toward "free trade" in the English sense of the phrase. After referring to the efforts of the Dem­ ocrats in the House to pass the Morrison bill, and to break down, if possible, the protective system established by the Re- puMicans, the speaker said; This Republican policy has been the cause of the vast immigration to our coun­ try of industrious laborers, who have flocked to our shores to enjoy the safety and profit of our institutions, to share in our pros­ perity and to contribute their labor to the general wealth of the country. The wages paid for labor in this country are from fifty to one hundred per cent, more than in European countries, and thus our laborers have the comforts of social life, are able to educate their children, to improve their property condition, to secure homes and property, and become useful, intelligent, surd respected citizens. But for the protec­ tion of these duties these varied employ­ ments would have "to be abandoned, and those now so occupied would have to com­ pete on the farm, increasing the amount of food production and reducing its value. It is sometimes contended that raw ma­ terials and articles of food should be ad­ mitted duty free, and wool, coal, iron ore, stone, and lumber are classed as raw mate­ rials. But the eri or of this doctrine is that such a construe ion would deny to the farmer and the miuer the same degree of protection to his labor that is freely con­ ceded to the manufacturer. It may be that the farmer, with the natural advantages he enjoys in this country, may not need the, same amount of protection required by the manufacturer, but still the principle of pro­ tection should be applied wherever it is needed, to protect the labor employed on the farm and in the mines as well as in the workshops. The woolen manufacturer may think that the article of wool is raw mate­ rial, but to the farmer it is the representa­ tive of so much labor spent, so much care taken, so much money expended; and so the coal and iron ore delivered at the car and at the furnace is the representative of so much American labor bestowed, and this is entitled to the same protection as if per­ formed in a workshop. Among the false pretenses of the Demo­ cratic party, none is more false than their pretense that they ever have been or are now the friend of the laboring man. In their platform and speeches nothing is more common than the repetition of this false­ hood. The Democratic party has never framed or adopted any measures of sub­ stantial benefit to laboring men. I know it is cluimed that at the recent session of Congress a Democratic House passed the arbitration bill, and it was voted for by both parlies. It came to the Senate and was favorably reported, but leading repre­ sentatives of the Knights of Labor de­ nounced it as a fraud and a sham, and so it was. It only permitted what is the law in every State--arbitration between parties willing to arbitrate. It was the barren husk of sheer demagogism, without virtue or merit. The Republican party has placed upon the statute books of Ohio and of the United States eveiy measure of practical utility to laboring men to be found there, and is mea8ure ' :•}*>.-i. . that will tend to improve, elevate, or advance the condition, mental, moral, or physical, of the men who toil and labor, and their children. It is its interest and duty to do so, for upon the intelligence, worth and happiness of our people our safety as welj as the success of our party depends. It is to the intelligence of the people, and not to their prejudices, we appeal. I have personally given to the many questions in­ volved in the labor problem much study, and believe that protection, arbitration and co-operation, together with general edu­ cation of all classes and conditions alike, will in time solve all disputes as to the di­ vision of the results of production, without resorting to anarchy, communism or social­ ism. In conclusion, Senator Sherman referred to the pension legislation of the last Con­ gress, taking the stand that the Democrats always opposed any bill looking to the bet­ terment of the Union soldier. He also said he was no more in favor of cheap money than he was in favor of cheap labor or cheap words or cheap demagogism. He wanted an honest silver dollar equal to an honest gold dollar, and worth the same in every part of the United States and of the civil­ ized world. He briefly referred to local issues, and in dealing with them said the purchase and sale of a seat in the United States Senate by the last Legislature had degraded and dishonored the State of Ohio, and will fix a lasting stain upon its fair fame unless they are repudiated by the people. THE MODERN DIVES AND LAZARUS. with and set A Political Parable, Pertinent to the Pres­ ent Day* 1. There was a certain Great Man, and a ruler »f the people, who clothed himself in broadcloth and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day on costly wines and game in its season. 2. And like Jeshuran, who ruled over Israel, he waxed fat and became greatly puffed up, for within a very short space of time he had been taken from among the lowly and made ruler over many millions. Then forgot he what he had been and what he soon would be again. Such is the heart of man. i 3. And every day he lifted up his voice and tl anked God that he was not as other men--even Congressmen, but was wiser and more cunning and purer in heart than the lawgivers whom the people had 6et over themselves. 4. And he mocked them tongue and many harsh their acts down as naugl 5. There was a certi en in years and beset He had not waxed fa' come great, for in his yc? out to tight for his country Man staid at home and gathe and made himself sol-id as the speech hath it, with his par-ti. 6. It had come to pass that the Othi Man while fighting for his country had been compassed about by its enemies, who smote him grievously. They hewed off his arm with the edge of the sword, and they brake his leg with their missiles of war. 7. Now ho came to the door of the White House, and looked up and saw the Great Man sitting there arrayed like unto a fash­ ion plate, and digesting a good dinner by the aid of a good cigar from the iBles of the Southern seas. 8. And he cried aloud unto the Great Man, saying: "Oh, Cleveland, thou art great, and art set in a high place! May you live iong and your Bhadow never be less. Sign, I beseech you, the bill which the lawgivers have presented you, for verily my need is great, and my little ones cry for bread. I ask only what the country prom­ ised me." 9. And the Great Man answered him scornfully, and said: "Verily, you are one of those who got bumped on the pommels of their saddles. Go to, you shall have naught." 10. Then brake the heart of the old sol­ dier, and he lay down and gave up the ghost, and his bones were laid in the pot­ ter's field. [The remainder of the MS. of this inter­ esting recital seems to have been lost in the mails, but we find that the original story in St. Luke continues in this wise:] The rich man also died and was buried: '23.

"Delegate Barry came into the office and declared the strike off without any condition." This was the information furnished by a gentleman connected with Mr. Armour's firm, who was asked con­ cerning the interview betweejj Delegate Barry and Mr. Armour late yesterday after­ noon. The men have surrendered uncon­ ditionally, and the packers are determined to stand by such of the imported men as choose to remain. At a secret meeting of all the packers, held at the Board of Trade, it was deter­ mined to adhere firmly to the ten-hour working day, and resolutions to that effect were adopted. Those of the men applying for work will be given positions regardless ot whether they belonged to the strikers or not. Concerning the imported men the following will be posted at all the houses to-day: "NOTICE. "Any one in the employ of the under­ signed who may be called 'scab,' misused, or otherwise intimidated by any one in our employ is requested to report the same pi omptly to the proprietors of the house, and tilev agree to promptly discharge any one so offending."

A Plain Showing: of the Far-Beaching Kf- tecta of Administrative Dishonesty. [From a speech of Henry Cabot Lodge, of Mas­ sachusetts.] Let ns look now at some other features of the administration. You remember the loud cry of the last campaign, "Turn the rascals out," and you will recall the exulta­ tion with which we were lold after the elec­ tion that now the rottenness and corrup­ tion of the Republicans would be unearthed and uncovered in every department. Thou­ sands of Republicans have been turned out. So far the campaign promises have been religiously kept, but the proof of rascality has been wanting. The Democrats have had possession of all the depaitments for eighteen months, but no Republican mis­ deeds have been brought to light. Hather, however, than not have any scandals at all, the administration has produced one of its own. The Attorney General of the Uni­ ted States was, and still is, a large holder of stock in a patent which might be given an enormous value if the Government could be brought to undertake a suit against a rival company. This suit the Attorney General caused to be brought, and the funds and the power of the Gov­ ernment were thus employed by the very officer whom their employment would en­ rich. The man who is involved in this scandalous proceeding is stilt the Attorney General of the United States, and still sits at the counoil board of the President. We are told that the President is not re­ sponsible. that the administration is not responsible; that Mr. Garland has not be­ haved well, it is true, but still we must not be unreasonable; aud it is even mildly add­ ed that his retention may hurt the admin­ istration. Yet the press that now treats this existing and flagrant scandal with bated breath pursued Grant, year in and year out, fur "standing by his friends un­ der fire"--Grant, who turned out two Cabi­ net officers for offenses far lefs than Mr. Garland's. In this year of grace the con­ fessed aud most unblushing use of public office for private gain is seemingly a slight matter; but much less once served to bring forth torrents of coarse abuse upon the taker of Donelson, the winner of the Vicksburg campaign, the victor of Appo­ mattox, whose lightest achievement will outweigh in history all that the members of this administration have ever done or ever will do. _ , But the scandal does not stop here. The Interior Department has strongly sustained the Department of Justice. The chiefs of the bureaus in the Interior Department have their pockeis full of Pan-Electric 6tock. and from ti;eir offices i'sue all soils of stock-jobbing rumors. Are these men fit guardian-! for patents? Are they fit guardians for Indian affairs? Read (he re­ ports of the Secretary of the Indian Rights' Association, and learn the kind of men that have been turned out, and the kind that have been, appointed at the Indiiu agencies. The poison of t.*at Pan-Electric business reaches through two department, ( and contaminates all whom it touches. I Still, Mr. Garland sits in the Cabinet, and the administration is zealously pushing a suit iu his behalf, which, whether sncceis- ful OF unsuccessful, can have r.o result but discredit to the Government. Let us "turn the rascals out" by all means. e meetiug had airy, who at the had been given men. As the afternoon it wa was expected. Master Workman and Mr. Barry addre great length. He "This is no pleasant move we are about to make one if we wish to preserve the which it has taken years to form orable retreat is better than a comp feat. The packers have us at a disa tage. They have the hungry army million idle men to draw from, "and, be­ lieving that they have the right side of this dispute, they do not hesitate to take this terrible advantage. Morover, we are not fully supported by the official sentiment of the Knights of Labor. We are con­ fronted by the recently published circular of General Master Workman l'owderly, in which he says the time for the intro­ duction of the eight-hour day lias not yet arrived. There is organization yet to be accomplished before we can march on to certain victory. I believe tirmly in the eight-hour day--yes, I believe that the fn- j ture working day will not exceed four hours. There is work, and hard, systematic work, to be done before that time comes. You are not prepared for a long strike, and any one can see that it would take months to win this fight, if it was ever won. Many of you are penniless to-day, and there would be hnngry wives and children in your families before another week passed by. For months many have not been working to exceed three days a week, and no man can lay up money on that system. , The wise thing to do is to make an honorable retreat. In a short time you will all be at work. A 'scab' is not fond of good com­ pany. |A voice: 'We will throw them out.'J No, that is not the proper thing to do. They will soon disappear. The bosses do not want inefficient men. By returning peaceably to work you will prove (o the world that you are true Knights of Labor. A Knight of Labor does nothing dishonorable when he obeys the command of his superior officer." Mr. Barry then read a formal order di­ recting the men to resume work on the ba­ sis of ten hours a day, followed by another directing the beef-men to present them­ selves for employment on the basis of eight hours for a day's work. There were a few who considered the or­ ders premature, claiming that the defeat was not complete and a fighting chance still remained. The chairman called for a rising vote on the motion that a vote of confidence be extended to Mr. Barry and the committee having the strike iu charge, and that the order as read be obeyed. The motion was carried without a dissent­ ing vote. The men seemed glad that the strike was ended. An occasional protest was heard, but the kicker was soon quieted. Among the merchants on Hals ted street and the other business thoroughfares there was but one feeling--that of satisfaction. There were a few stormy incidents in Packingtown, in which the Pinkerton men played an important and generally a dis­ astrous part. The full force had been placed on duty early in the morning. The men were marched in squads to all parts of the yards, oach man being assigned a certain regular beat. No one was ad­ mitted to the yard unloss he could satisfy the sentry that he had legitimate business there. Many of the strikers managed, however, to gain entrance, and in several cases serious collisions between them and the guards were imminent. Nearly a hundred of Armour's men who had not been paid off congre­ gated around the paymaster's window shortly after 10 o'clock. A squad of guards marched into the crowd in two col­ umns and scattered them right and left. The Pinkertons were ordered back to their barracks when the situation was explained, but not until much hard feeling had been engendered. A retail butcher having busi­ ness at Armour's was slopped by a rifleman, who was promptly knocked down by the irate carver of steaks and chops. An unknown Pinkerton man came to grief from disobedience of orders. He re­ fused to salute a superior officer, and was peremptorily dismissed and told to leave. He packed his effects into two bundles and started for the cit}', wearing his uniform. Near the Exchange building he was sur­ rounded by a ho\\;ling mob of men and women and severely beaten. His packages were broken open, their contents torn to pieces, and his uniform was torn to shreds. He was rescued by the Town of Lake po­ lice and taken to a house on Thirty-ninth street. Later in the day a captain and four men started for the city, going across the prairie toward Thirty-ninth street. A crowd of strikers followed, and soon commenced throwing bricks and other missiles. The guards ran toward the Town Hall and reached that haven, bnt not without some severe usage. Their Daily Enjoyment* Described Simply and Without KxagrgeratSo*. [Atchison Globe.l It ia a frequent saying that in winter a farmer has nothing to do but enjoy himself; that when the blizzards send in their cards, he can draw his chair up to the stove, put his feet in the oven, and spend the day reading the Globe, and Church Herald, and other moral works. According to tradition, this oc­ cupation is only disturbed when he ad­ journs to the table, and banquets on mince pie and divers meats. This is all a mistake. A close observer will see the industrious fai-mer crawl out of bed four hours before daylight, soften his boots with a hammer, and commence his day's work with a lantern in one hand and a bucket of frozen slop in the other. He has from one to 1,000 hogs, which shove their noses in his face, and tip the contents of his bucket on him, where it freezes until he looks like a skating-rink. When he has escaped from the hog-pen, he hunts np six or seven buckets, and crawls through a wire-fence to milk twenty- seven cows. These animals wait until he has tlifSlteltet nearly filled, when they tip it over, aiming so that the con­ tents will kalsomine such parts of his clothing as the hogs spared. Now and. then, they vary the monotony by kick­ ing him instead of the bucket, which makes him feel tired and home-sick. When the cows have been milked, he goes to feed the horses, and finds the sorrel mare doubled up in the manger with the colic. He then has to mix up a lot of aconite and water, which he at­ tempts to pour down the animal's mouth, when it hits him on the teeth with its front foot, and makes him wish he had never been born. He works around all morning with the old mare, and then proceeds to curry the dun mules, which try to see which can kick the hardest, and by the time he is through he feels as though he had passed through a corn-sheller. When he has fed the hens, and Watered the cattle, and hunted three hours for a twenty-cent pig, and chopped half a cord of elm for the house, and carried forty buckets of water to the horses, and shelled three bushels of corn by hand, and shovelled a road through ten feet of snow, and milked the cows, and curried the mules, and doctored the old mare again in the evening, he goes to bed to get up again in the morning four hours before daylight, and commences the whole thing over again. „ The East and West.

The Atlantic seacost, with New York as its lieadcenter, Itecomes more and more tagonistic to the interest of the west, it is only a question of time when ere will be a great party of the east opposed to one of the west and south.

A PHYSICIAN'S little daughter, oalled upon for a toast, gave "The health of papa and mamma, and all the world." But she suddenly corrected the sentiment. "Not all the world, for then papa would have no Packing and Shippiiig Eggs. Eggs, especially in summer, should be not only sound but fresh laid. Stale eggs, though apparently sound, are sure to reach market in bad order, or will change so rapidly that dealers lose money on them. Always ship at once while fresh. Use strong, stiff barrels. For packing, use fine, kiln-dried cut straw or wheat chaff. Some Canadian packers use dry oat-hulls, which answer a good purpose. Never nse oat or buck­ wheat chaff, and never use new oats, straw, or chaff, as they sweat and rot the eggs in a short time. Place first a little long, soft straw or hay, two or three inches in thickness, evenly over the bottom of the barrel, then about the same depth of packing, then a layer of eggs, laid upon the sides, evenly embedded in the packing, with the ends toward the barrel, about one inch from the staves. Cover the layer with three-fourths or one inch of pack­ ing, rubbing it well in between the eggs with the hand. Cover the last layer with about three inches of packing, and then the same quantity of long straw or hay as at the lx>ttom, filling so high that the head must be pressed in by a lever or other mechanical power, thus holding the contents so firmly that they eannot shift or loosen in the barrels. In winter, to guard against frost, use more packing, leaving the eggs farther from the sides of the package. One of the chief causes of failure in packing eggs is usiDg too little packing at the top, bottom, and sides of barrel. Do not crowd too many into the package, and never let the eggs touch each other in the layers. For an ordinary flour barrel seventy dozen are quite sufficient. Put about four and one-half dozen in the first layer, and increase one-lialf dozen to the layer up to six and one- half dozen in the two middle layers, then decrease at the same rate. It is well to shake the barrel gently after each layer is put in, first placing a light follower upon the layer. The count should be carefully made, and honestly marked on the barrel.--American Cul­ tivator. .

Iu fact, so numer­ ous have be^n the losses that they seem out of proportion to the number of vessels em­ ployed and the amouat of business which they are capable of transacting. Is it that there is defective seamanship, or imperfect construction of vessels, which aids to swell the frightful total of losses in life and property attendiug the navigation of the lakes? Without any statistics to refer to, no positive statement can be made, but i| would seem at a superficial glance that the Northern lakes afford the most dangerous waters known to navigation. It can hardly be possible that inferiority of seamanship can be responsible for this condition, and yet there seems no adequate reason why the lakes should be so destructive of life.--
