Now it is said that Judge West was excited.

Th* Sentinel’s unpaid workmen do not endorse it

Genuik* workingmen repudiate the Sentinel’s sham, and refuse to have anything to do with the brawling hypocrite. « A quasbxl between labor and capital is like a qnarrel between Chang and Eng. The tie that binds them is the life of both. Th* Sentinel’s investment in endorsement* will be money thrown away. Workingmen are not being fooled by it worth a cent.

Am effort is to be made next month at Saratoga to revive the free trade league. The American social science association meets there on the 4th, and ss many of the members are free traders it is likely that occasion will be utilized.

Suppose capital should take labor at its word and refuse to do anything. Suppose every manufacturer instead of disbursing monthly pay rolls, should hoard bis money, satisfied to live on what he has, what would become of those who hare no monev?

Sxmatok Comkling seems to have come home because he had had enough of it. His disgust with the other side and his contentobent with this is exalted. A pent-up Utica is good enough for him, and he believes it to be the most civilized city in the world. These are greenbackers in New Jersey, and they have nominated a governor and demanded the remonetization of silver. If a coin basis is such an evil how does it come that .the greenbackers are so anxious to have U? Why do they abandon the paper theory? The office-seekers and jobbers who run the Sentinel spent a good deal of money in getting up the sham workingmen’s meeting the other night, but the workingmen refuse to be duped. They know the men who managed the affair and know what their pretensions are worth. As for the Sentinel, the universal opinion of the workingmen is found in the resolutions which the president of the gathering, a Sentinel employe, refused to hear. Workingmen are not such fools as to be taken in by such old political prostitutes. The reports from the east throw little light on the situation. Since the defeat at Plevna if there has been any campaigning the correspondents have been effectually silenced concerning it The country south of thd*Balkans has been cleared of Russians, and “law and order have been restored,” says the grim report. It is needless to say it is Turkish. There are reports that Bulgaria will be granted autonomy while under Turkish rule, and placed under the control of a Mussulman, Prince Hasaan, son of the khedive. This, if carried out in good faith, is a wise and humane measure. The little remnant That is left in that

down-trodden land, wduld be ground to powder in the reaction that would follow the driving of the Russians over the Danube or the conclusion of a peace that left Bulgaria in Turkish hands. The Bulgarians added to their other crimes that of welcoming the czar as a savior, and if he does not save them in some shape it w^ll go hard with them. Autonomy would be a protection if the powers would see that it was lived up to. There are rumors of what might be called a Russo-Roumania-Servian alliance. This will be of benefit in securing concessions from Turkey when peace comes, but of not much use while there is fighting to do. Russia must do that, and the probabilities are that she will do little more of it this year. Her defeat she is blaming Ignatieff with,"claiming that his information was false. They have an extremely decisive way in both Russia and Turkey of making up for a mistake. It existed in England when it was in accord with the time to pass the off-hand sentence: “Off with his head; so much for Buckingham!”

riUK IXS URAtiCE VIGURMS. Every little while there is a great deal of talk about the vast sums of money taken out of the state by foreign insurance companies. This is particularly loud when the legislature is in session and efforts are being made to tax the companies directly and indirectly, usually in a way which will put a little money into the state treasury and a good deal into the pockets of individuals. The insurance legislation of this state has been a conglomeration of jobbery and corruption. The present law taxes fire insurance companies three per cent, upon their net receipts, and the returns of the companies show some surprising facts. We have compiled the gross receipts and losses and taxes of twenty leading companies for the six months ending June 30th, from the re-' turns made by them, as follows:

But this business costs money. Offices have to be maintained with manifold expenses; commissions paid to hundreds of agents and solicitors, and the cost must be deducted from the receipts. The cost of doing business is about thirty per cent, of the gross receipts, and will even exceed that ratio where economy is not practiced. Thirty per cent, of the gross receipts in this case is $125,323.02, which leaves the companies $16,975.71, but out of this must come the tax, $4,268.96, leaving as the net profits of twenty leading fire insurance companies on $417,743.40 of business done in Indiana in six months, $12,706.75, or a little more than three per cent. If each company earned this per centage, it would not be so bad, but few oi them do it, and several pay out a good deal more than they get From this it will be seen that the profits of the business are not very large, and in a bad season would melt away entirely. Real Old Solid Comfort. IDetroit Free Press. 1 The other afternoon a frog catcher from the city came across two boot-blacka in camp on the river bank, near the light house. Their tent was composed of old coffee sacks sewed together, and was just large enough to keep the sun off s spot three feet square. The lads were boiling potatoes in an old wash dish, and frying a very thin fish on a piece of sheet iron. They bad an oyster can to drink out of, a bed made of weeds. “What are we doing here?” indignantly replied one of the lads when questioned. “Why, we is out on our summer trip, and having the bulliest time in the world. The cocoanut is all gone and the crackers eaten up, but we’ve got liah and tatrrs left, and you kin tell the boys in town that we shan’t come back till we’ve recuperated right up to a hundred and fifty pounds apiece. We bain’t on the 'Saratoga lay, we hain’t, but we are after real old solid comfort.”

Bnsfneas Va uc of Sunday. Poston Journal’s New York correspondence.] Theodore Thornes has shaken the dust off bis feet and departed from the city. He has failed to do what he proposed, and New York bes not met his expectations. Ha has found in the west, he thinks, a congenial people. His only sorrow is that he did not go west earlier. His style of music is not suited to the rush ard drive of the metropolis. The source of bis mistake, however, he fails to appreciate. The rock on which he struck and foundered was the open aud defiant disregard rf the Sabbath. He attempted to establish a Parisian Sabbath night concert. The class of people who delight in that form of Sabbath breaking do not attend classical concerts. Those who like classical music keep the Sabbath, and Thomas has met the fate that has awaited every caterer to public amusement who has failed to keep the

Lord’s day.

Railroad ( olltaion.

4 At 7:15 lest evening a railroad collision occurred wHoosac Junction, on the Troy ar d Boston road. The train which left

Troy at 5:30, loaded with excursionists, was run into by a Montreal freight. The passenger cars of the former were wrecked. The engine, with a number of freight cars, « ere totally destroyed. The evening signal at the depot was not displayed. Six

Persons were seriously injured.

THE EASTERN WAR. Unoelaa Losaes Sonlb of the Balkana—Exodua Iron* the Caucasus. * The Gorman government has aerloualy remonstrated against the Turkish atrocities. By the lest military operations south of the Balkans, it is said, a loss of 12,000 killed and wounded was indicted on the Russians. It is rumored that General Ignatieff has fallen into disgrace. The passage of the Balkans was mainly resolved on in consequence of his assurance that with the Turks anything might be ventured on. An alliance is reported between Roumania and Servia. It is expected that the Russians and Roumanians will almost immediately enter Servia, and be joined by the Servians, who are constructing strong works upon the Timok, and at Alexinatz. Dispatches from Batoum describe a great exodus of Circassians from the Oaucasus, as a consequence of the withdrawal of the Tarkish expedition. Five hundred thousand people and 150,000 cattle areawaiting embarkation at SookgoumKale. The Russians succeeded in stopping the exodus from the Schamitchre district, and drove tbe people back with great cruelty. It is reported that ail men wbo participated in the insurrection are sent to Siberia and their women and children given to the Cossacka.

The Workingman's Problem, LLoaisville Courier-Journal.] One of the moet conspicuous fallacies at the bottom of the present workingmen’s movement is that the workingmen are thinking of themaelves only as producers. No man can be simply a producer. That was the mistake of the grangers, who always thought and spoke and acted concernicg themselves as though they produced everything that was consumad, and did not find it necessary to consume anythirg themselves. The grangers leveled their blows at the great railroad corporations, but thes» corporations weie nothing withont the armiee of '‘producers” who operated their lines. In the end it was producer kicking producer, and so in the end the producers who operated the railroads kicked the bottom out qf the granger movement Tbe workingmen’a movement has succeeded the granger movement, and it is ’running under the illusion of the same error. Tbe workingmen’s utterances and platforms talk aa if workingmen did nothing but produce; whereas, in truth, they are the consumers, who make production profitable. During the war, and daring the nested period immediately following, it was a common thing for a man two and a half dollars a day with his shovel or pick, and mechanics made five dollars a day. If such men are asked what became of tbeir money they will answer that prices were so high that they expended in the maintenance of themselves and tbeir familias all they earned. I□ other words, they were consumers as well as producers, and they consumed about in proportion to what they produced. Now such men earn only about one half what they were paid daring the period referred to. As consumers they do not have to pay as much as they did then for the necessaries of life; but they still complain, and with truth on their side, that they can not live as comfortably as they did formerly. The real labor problem seems to be how to adjust what a man earns as a producer to what he is compelled to expend as a consumer. The workingman, regarding himself merely as a producer, fancies that an easy way to solve this problem is to raise wages. That is the theory of the great strike and all the labor disturbancs of the past few weeis. But a moment’s reflection ought to show to any mind of ordinary intelligence that wages might be doubled, or increased fourfold r and yet a workingman might find it difficult to live comfortably on what he earns. Workingmen who went throngh the period of the war and the few years following ought to know this from tbeir own experience. Tbe war forced everything into unnatural activity. Everything, including wages, was high. We now know that we were not so prosperous os we seemed. We are now suflering from the reaction of that period, and, like all reactions, it hss carried us far below onr normal condition. When we say business is depressed, we mean that we are below the normal condition—juat as far below it as we were some years ago above it. A powerful stimulant, such as we once had, might carry us back to the same fictitious altitude and for a time we would enjoy the luxury of receiving more for our work and paying more for living. But we have no such stimulant and labor has to look for its compensation to what it is actually worth; that is, to what it will bring in the market Toe simple fact that those who engage d in the recent strike had to resort to violence to prevent other men from filling their places at the wages complained of show that current wages can not be far bslow what they must rule at in the market. So long as outlawry bas the upper hand of law wages can be ^ept up by the violence of strikers preventing other men from working. But so soon as the law again becomes supreme wages readjust tbemselves on economic principles. As tbe law has resumed its sway and will continue its supremacy violence will disappear ?s a factor in fixing wages.

No Relation at all Then: [Lafayette Journal.] The Sentinel is but one of a b’ass of demagogues w ho are ever ready to seize upon any public disaster like the strike or business depression, of which it is a mere incidental effect, and attempt to turn It to tbeir own selcsh account It is to the Sentinel’s Interest politically to make unpopularity for the republican party and John Sh.*rman, aud so it at once eets up the cry that the republican party and John Sherman are responsible for tbe strike, with which they had no more < onnection than the Sentinel with good sense and decency.

Cortachakoff’N Resignation. [Vienna Telegram.) Although denied in cffiiial quarter*, it is »n undoubted fact that Gortschakoff, at the clote of July, tendered his resignation It will not be decided whether it will be accepted until the Ozar arrives at Cc rac ni, near Bucharest, a few days hence. The reason for tbe resignation is that Gortschakoff promised the other powers their interests should have full weight in the settlement of the eastern question, but finds his influence declining before the extreme party. He also opposes Roumanian and Servian co-opera-tion.

Ohio Crops. E. D- Mansfield, the “veteran observer,” gives a very glowing account of the crops in Ohio this fall. He senates that there ere 2,100,000 acres of 4rheat, which, at eighteen bnebels per acre, will give fully 37,800,000 bushels of wheat. Ohio, however, is a corn rather than a wheat state, and she also yields a great supply of oats. Never hoe there been a year in which the crops, as a whole, were as good as they premise to be this year. Ten years ego the average crop of the state was 130,000.000 barbels. In 1870 the crop was 150 000,000. This year it con not be put under 170,000,000, wuich, at present prices would be worth near $120,000,000, independent of hay, which would be worth $20,000,000. The clear gain to farmers, after deducting all tbeir own living, will be at least $50,000,000. Knights of JPyUtla*. The supreme council of the world and the grand lodge of Ohio, order of Knights of Pytbite, began tbeir sessions in Cleveland yesterday. The supreme council will be in session the greater part of the week. Tbe business portion of the city is profusely decorated. A fine prooeieion paraded the principal streets.

“What do yon think are the prospects frr republican euaeeas in Pennsylvania at

the fell election?*’ I asked.

“The contest will be very close,” replied Gen. Cameron. “We only had 18,000 majority in the state lest year. Pennsylvania ia a large state, end e little wheel may turn the tide. Tbe people ere not satisfied. We, here, feel that the resalt lb Ohio will sfleet the election in Pennsylvania materially. Should Ohio go democratic—and many of us In this state feer it will—Pennsylvania will be rather apt

to follow."

“As to the financial question?” “For my part I favor resumption, though I am unwilling that a day should be set to resume. Both parties are divided on the financial issna. I like silver. Would prefer it to these email billa all the time. 1 like something that will jingle in my pocketa. I don't think the Republican convention will ask for or demand resumption, however.” General Cameron criticised President Hayes's civil service rules, though he said he long ago favored a change in the conduct of the civil service. It was well

enough, during the in the departments

igh. during the war, to let the clerks is departments go home to vote, bat that practice should have been ended

when tbe war ceaoed.

Secretary Sherman, tbe ex-senator t-ought, was rather inconsistent in bia advocacy of civil service reform It seemed that he was unwilling to practice what he preached. “Sherman ia all for himself,” continued the ex-aenstor, “and aa to Schurx, why, Schurz wouldn’t make a speech unless paid for it, and Kemble i* right in asserting what he did in a recent card, that Schurz was paid for his speeches. Sherman, too, was paid for his trip to New Orleans.” “If I am not mistaken the money went from Pennsylvania to pay

him, too,” Mid the ex-senator.

“Do you think an effort will be made to Indorse or condemn the president’s policy In tbe forthcoming convention in this

state?” I asked.

‘ No. I hardly think so. It may be that if any resolutions are introduced they will be laid over, aa in the Maine convention,” he replied. “Mr. Blaine proved himself to be very shrewd in that convention. His speech wes to the point, wasn’t it?” “Yes. Blaine didn’t want to hurt the party. Had either resolution been adopted it would have injured the party. “In this state, however much we disagree with the president’s southern policy, we are not disposed to say or do anything to emberraes the administration. What we must have to succeed is unity. Without it we shall get beatan. The democrats will take advantage ol any squabble. There must not be any.”

Tbe nalne Democracy. The Democratic convention yesterday nominated Joseph H. Williams, of Augusta, for governor, and adopted a platform reaffirming the platform and principles of the St. Louis convention. characterizing as a monstrous political fraud the reversal of the election of Samuel J. Tilden, president, and asking an amendment to the constitution which will make a repetition impossible, and finally declaring that the restoration to the common rights of citizenship of the people of the three southern states, long kept subject to the military o'conation, is a just acknowledgment of the wisdom of democratic principles; that the democratic party act* upon principle, makes no factious opposition, and opposes only wfcat is wrong in an administration in possession of the government The Change of Names*
