The Cleveland Rolling Mill Company will start up several mills again to morrow, having engaged several hundred non union and inexperienced men from various points. Trouble is anticipated ly some, but the strikers, of whom there are 500 in the vicinity of the mills, declare there is no intention to interfere with the new men. However, the police and militia have been quietly ordered to be ill readiness tor any emergency, and there is much anxiety fell for developments. THOIill.E FOR THE COAL OI'WIATOHS. There is a prospect of more trouble for the coal operators.

The colored men imported to lake the places of the sirikcrs are becoming dissatisfied with the wages paid, and it would not be surprising if they joined the ranks of i hose whose places' they have been filling. I hey have been indulging in frequent fights among themselves. Last niht a sinull sized riot occurred, during which one man was shot nnd seriously wounded.

HOW MB. HVYI.ES, OFTIIK "IRON ACL," VIEWS TUB CONTEST. New Vhhk, June 4 Mr.

J. C. Baylcs, ed iiur of the Iron said this afternoon The tight is likely to be a long one. The strikers have bad steady work and good prices for some time and no doubt they have some money saved. The tenacity with which they hold out for what they consider right, and (he privations they will undergo for the same reason is wonderful.

On the other hand, the manufacturers are not averse to a strike at this time, us fur the past few mouths uiaBy of the mills have been running on old orders. So few new orders were coming in that if they had kept on working at the same rate the market would be overstocked by next August nnd a great reduction of prices would take place. 1 do not think die strike will increase the price of iron sufficiently to bring about a large importation from England or Scotland, as to the first price of the iron must be added the cost of shipment, the duty and expense of freightage inland. s.ome tour years ago the ll'uil wor kcro i utk rui tiu lu reuse of wages, and as at that time many of ihe iron firms at that place were in a precar ious position financially, they were obliged to ii coed to the demands of the workmen, as stoppage for a month or so would have ruined them, their only hope being to produce all the material they could, and thus work out of liicir difficulties." THE LONDON "TIMES'' ON THE STRIKCBS. London, Juno 4.

The in an editorial yesterday, says: "Tt is hard to apportion the blame for the strike of the iron workers in Pennsylvania. The American iron masters are answerable iu one way for the calamity, although now they have no alternative. The reckless trading of IBM liad much to do with reduction of wages." COMPROMISE ON A BASIS OF FIVE PEE CENT IM'KKASK. Ciiii aiio, June 4. Everything remains quiet among the rolling mill strikers at Iron dale.

Judging from talks with them they expect a speedy settlement of the difficulty at l'ittshiirg, and instructions from the leaders lo begin work again, which aliey would be glad to obey.

They had turned water from the drift into their ice water keg when empty, twisted the end of the compressed air pipe into the barrel of water, and, standing around it, breathed the air thus cooled as it arose through the water. About midnight all were removed from the drift, the whistles along the lake signaling the event.

BEAVER'S KEY NOTE. AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAICN OPENED. (Jrnwl Rooeplioii to I lie Noliller Slato. iiiiiu ioclie by Beaver mid Oiivien Kveryllilnif Fnv vnritnle lo the Htnte Ticket. From ttie lMiiltt.

Press. IlAKRisnt ito, June 4. General Beaver, in a speech here last night, sounded the key note of the campaign and cried fight to Hie hitter end. The General reached here from Columbia at 8.40 o'clock and was met at the depot by the Young Men's Republican Club and the consolidated colored clubs of the city, each having bands of music. During the affcrnoou Senator Davies, Republican nominee for Lieit tenaut Governor, arrived here in response to a telegram of invitation, requesting him to participate in the demonstration.

He, with State Treasurer Bailey, were iu a barouche, and when General Beaver arrived he got in with them and rode through the line, which extended from the Lochiel Hotel to the depot. Red lights in profusion lit up the scene, and the cheering, as the barouche passed by, was very hearty. After General Beaver had entered the hotel, the clubs massed on Market street, and he was serenaded by both bands, the crowd cheering lustily for him meanwhile. When the noise had subsided, Capt. George G.

Boyer, President of the Young Men's lie. publican Club, stepped to the portico of the Lochiel, and said: "Fellow citizens, permit me, on behalf of the Young Men's Club, to make an explanation. When the Republican ticket was nominated at ilarrisburg, the club, believing the nominations were in accordance with the true principles of Republicanism, endorsed them. 77if I'hilinleljihia I'rrss spread it broadcast thai the club had endorsed the Independent nominations at l'hiladelphia. In order to correct this mistake we have pre vailed on General Beaver to meet us here this evening, and he has ncccpted our serenade tendered to him as a man of honor, worth and ability, and fit to lead the grand old Republican party to victory.

I have the honor, and take great pleasure, in introducing to you the soldier candidate of the Republican party for Governor. As General weaver then stepped forward, ho was greeted with prolonged cheers. the ukxeral's Leaning upon his crutches, he looked out over the assembled thousands, nntl sum: Gentlemen: 1 accept this compliment, betok ening, as it does, the loyalty of the good Republican people of Ilarrisburg. 1 do not accept it as personal, hut when an anonymous correspondent attacks you, it is right to show where you stand. It is now too early to de clare yourselves in a campaign which involves all that is dear to you.

All the issues that we have fought nnd stnved for. (Cheers). The time has not arrived when Republicans arc ready to hand over the Government of the Slate and Nation to a party which does not represent a particle of the purity involved in the principles of Republicanism. The lines of battle have not yet been drawn, but when they are, the Republican party will bo found to be the attacking party. No defense in this campaign, if you please.

It mean attack and victory that's what we fight for, nnd that how we will win. from Lake Erie lo the Delaware the same spirit animates the people as it does you to night, and you touch elbows with true Republicanism all over the State. We have known disaffection before, but did you ever know it to succeed' Cries are for fair play, and have never gone back on themselves, and have always given a wise government. All believe that our Civil Service is well administered. Tliere is no fault to find with the finances.

It will be seen we finish this campaign what the motives are that innuencfii uis iaciiou to oikc up arms and tire in the rear. We have heard that tire in the rear before and on our flanks. Our faces are set to the foe. An attack on the flanks is demoralizing sometimes, but not this year. I never saw so much interest in the campaign as how.

1 never was in the habit of being scared much, and I confess 1 am not in this campaign. The heavy artillery has all been fired on the other side, and it did not amount to much. The Hue of battle will be formed on June 2H. From the skirmishers before me, I believe we will walk over the other fellows. You are in sympathy with the great mass of the people, and 1 know victory will crown us in November next.

It is well for you to be stirred up. The interests of this city are stirreu up. ilic iationai interests are stirred up. It' you are ready for a loss of power to place this Government in the hands of the Democracy drop your hands. What they call the tail of the Republican ticket it has been chopped off lately Laughter is all important, and tliere are vital interests iu the election of a Congressmnn at Large.

His vote will be needed at Washington in vital tariff issue. Let us make no mistake on the is iues, Let us fight our own battles. I call upon you here to night to give yourselves to the interests involved in this contest, and let us have such a victory on next November as will teach faclionists to do their fighting in the party lines nnd not drag their quarrels before the whole world. Cheers. I thank you for your kindness to me.

Good night (Jen. Beaver then introduced his colleague on the ticket, Seuator Davies, who referred '0 the fact that it was the Young Men's Republican Club of Ilarrisburg which started the fiidit in Pennsylvania for lloyt in 1S7S, and for the lamented Garfield in 18H0, both of which were victories. He asked if there were nny reasons why a true Republican should not Vole for General Beaver, whose nomination was not only made by the people before the Convention met, but nmdc at the Convention in accordance with nil precedents from Cur. tin to the present official. Has anything that he has done, or is there any trail of his char acler against him I believe that all Republicans all over the Stole will work together to elect him, nnd the Republicans of Bradford expect to' greet the Republicans of Dauphin with the same old time majority that always characterized us as staunch and loyal.

Cheers. 1 hid you good night. After music by the bands, General Beaver and Senator Davies held a reception at the Lochiel Hotel, and greeted the many who called on them. As the preliminary demonstration of the campaign, this was certainly the largont that bus ever taken place in Ilarrisburg. f.Y.S.

HEAVER OX THE SITI ATION. General Beaver was in Philadelphia on Saturday, and received a number of informal calls' from political friends, including among others Hon. Jeremiah II. Boone and Mr. Henry llueh, of leading.

The following interesting interview is published in the Phila delohia 1'ms: "I have found much less dis content than I expected," was Gen. Beaver's reply to a reporter's query at the Broad street station late in the afternoon, 'i have visited a number of counties in the northern and western part of the Slate, and in all I find Republicans practically unanimous for the regular ticket, and, what is more, cheerfully in earnest. 11 is loo soon 10 say uiucu aooui the campaign; the enemy are not in the field, and we are lighting tl)e wind. When the nominations arc mado by the Convention of June 2H, the lines will be drawn, bearings taken, and plans laid for Hie fight. I am surprised aft he good temper displayed wherever have been, and the manner in which I have been received.

In Lancaster county, in particular, the Republicans are in better fighting trim, with divisions ou the general ticket, than in many years." "And what of your future movements, General "I shall spend most of the time from now to November in the field. To night I go to Ilarrisburg. Monday and Tuesday I shall visit Lincoln University.

H. A. Cleveland by request delivered a sermon on "Man, and His Influence on Politics and Social Welfare," in Covenant. M. E.

church, last evening. The Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, nnd Reformed denominations were represented as well as the Methodist. The audience was large and intelligent. taking for his text the words, "Ye are the salt of the earth. Ye are the light of the world," from St.

Matthew 13, 14, Rev. Cleveland declared that human history thus far demonstrates that men get on well in community, and in Ihearts of life, just in proportion as they get on well in riirhtcoiis ess and charity, and that apart from that righteousness and charily social welfare and progress are impossible. But how can a )eaoe giving righteousness and outgoing beneficence he created and sustained in men? On what can we rely to create and sustain in men the supremacy of those self denying virtues that work unremunerntingly for moral reforms and social The answer hnslianily gives 'is rational nud satisfactory. The answers eiven outside of Christianity urged with great vehemence, and receiving, just now, much attention are yet so inadequate thai the consideralion of them brings us back to the Christian answer with increased confidence. Proceeding to state and show the fallacv of il.

a tin uuieicill IllinwuiH glvm UIIISIUC 01 I Itl'lH tianity, the reverend gentleman said: I. We are told by one class that "such good ness as nations and races attain is reachpd through natural development." outside the world of thevolitions, evolution may be nature's method and process, but no where, and never, is evolution a cause. Must not the bad man come under the influence of some good mnn, and the good man under the influence of some better man? Our forefa thers were savages, pirates and idolaters. How did they become civilized and worship pers of the one living God Was it not he cause one Jesus lived, taught, and died in an obscure province of the Roman Empire, and after him one Paul, on his way to Damascus, received in his heart the spirit of Jesus, and gathered about him a goodly society of those Who uelieveu Ins message II. Another class tell us that the germ of possible good is in man himself, and that the cause of existing evils is the tyrannous rule to which irrational governments subject the citi zen, and, therefore, they insist that our chief reliance for reform and progress must be on securing a larger civil liberty.

bociuty cannot eist without laws and pen alties. The individual ought not to rcnard the enactment of just laws and penalties as any infringement of his rights or hindrance to his virtue. III. Another class tell us that to discuss freely and fully all theories of association and conduct will disclose the errors and evils in them to be avoided, and set boldly in the light the truths and blessings to be adopted. in tree governments, discussion undoubtedly has its uses it disseminates and crytallizes opinion, and places a check on hasty action.

But discussion furnishes no guarantee that error, when disclosed, will be rejected, or that twalbo imarMtiUoM i ctwaiCUt'iiui ifiiuuiili the court of his speculative faculties, but through his faith and imagination, his conscience and affections. IV. Another class of men Bay, "Of course, we do not claim that development and liberty and discussion alone are enough. There must be culture, generous and popular culture." It is held that if we could only educate everybody, then everybody would he good. There is no more vital connection between mere knowledge and moral purpose than there is between geometry and hygiene.

If ever humanity casts oil' her sins and puts on holiness, it will be not at the bidding of the schoolmaster, but of Uie Apostle. V. We are told hy quite another class that all earthly eutopias are to be realized throiurh civil enactments. They think thai if they i could only get "the name of God into the Constitution," and the words, "temperance and virtue," into the codes of Stales and municipalities, and some sharp clauses inserted condemning "secret societies" and denouncing "Sabbath desecrations," they would soon have all people righteous, peaceable, industrious, and prosperous. It seems to be their notion that people can be made good by the short cut of making it a law and legislating temptations away from them.

If they had only been in Eden, Ihey would have suggested an amendment even to the measures of the Almighty, and had moved out of the garden, not the man, but the tree; indeed, it seems to (lien) an in.pwiiuence that any such thing as a forbidden tree should have been put in the garden. Of course, the wisdom and necessity of proper laws and just penalties is admitted, but the actual service which laws render lo man's well being and progress is very limited. Laws arc only regulative, not regenerative. Neither laws nor penalties can prevent the rising of those evil desires in men that ripen into deeds. What is most needed is men who have power with God nnd their fcllowmen.

We must grow such men in our homes, schools, and churches. Concluding, in substance, the reverend gentleman said And if our relatiou with such men carries with it duties toward Ihem, duties of recognition and of the choice of Ihem as our teachers and leaders, so likewise their relation to us imposes on them certain duties and responsibilities that are not to hs set aside. If they are endowed with certain (acuities, qualities and powers, that make Ihem the natural teachers and leaders of the people, they owe it to Ood and to men that they come forward and take up the burden and do the work of instruction and elevation. The ancient Hebrew psalmist felt called upon to declare with vehemence that he had not committed the sin of seclusion nor social indiffer ence, lie said: nave noi nw my rignt eouspess within my heart; I have not com cealed Thy truth from the great congregation." One of the crying sins of our time nnd sources of greatest peril to our institutions, social welfare, and progress, is the political indifference of many of our citizens, is the little part they fake actively in the administration, and the little interest they manifest in the conduct, of our public affairs. In our higher institutions of learning, nnd among our literatetirs and professionals of the highest rank, are to be found men who think it a great thing to boast ot, that they "never meddle with and know nothing about politics." When the men of thought and culture, of wealth and power, in a representative government, deem it a sign of distinction in the citizen that he does not concern himself about politics, then there is very great danger, if not decay, lurking in that government.

The Stale is a family it is the Commonwealth, and every citizen owes it to himself and to all citizens that he concern himself in everything tliat relates to the State. "Politics" is defined by Webster to be, "the science of government; that part of ethir which has to do with the regulation and government of a nation or a stale: the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity; the defense of its existence and rights, the oug nientation of its strength ant resources, the protection of its citizens in their rights, with the preservation and improvement of their morals." That is politics, and, therefore to be indifferent to and neglectful of politics is to be indifferent toward and neglectful of the sublimes! of sciences and the most comprehensive and divine of duties. Politics in this country is the government of the nation by its own people, the development of its strength and resources the reform of its morals, and nil that is comprised in the advancement of civilization within its borders. He who is indifferent to flint is recreant to the most sacred duties and unworthy of state protection and social nition In England no well balanced man ever looks upon lie government as a matter that does not concern hiin. From Bacon to Gladstone, from Dryden and Pope to Tennyson nnu luamiKw ai hohi, uie scholars, essayists, pools, lords and dukes have been publicists and often practical politicians.

Two years ago, when Mr. Channing oanie back here to his native country to altend the Newport services in honor of his illustrious relative, he was astounded at the increased indifference of our wealthy nnd cultured people toward public affairs, and in his Fast day sermon, in a passage of fiery eloquence, he denounced it as a crime and affirmed with startling emphasis, that if he had the power, he would transport to Russia a ship load of those highbred shirks, "and let Ihem loam nt the knout's end the meaning and the value of th liberty they despise." If politics has come to be reearded as sim ply artful and dishonest management of the machinery of the government, it is because those persons whose real business it is to make themselves felt in politics, to maintain the purity and dignity of our political life. have neglected their solemn privileges and shirked the primal duties thev owe to themselves, (heir fellow men, anil their God. In our country political indifference is moral treasou. The caucus bclougs by divine right to the best men, and they cannot, without crime, forego the task of its control.

The public votes express the public opinion, which in (one and aim does not rise higher than the character and intellect of (he voters. Men and women oapable of influencing and educating the opinion of voters are under moral obligations to do so. In the long run laws and administrations must conform to public opinion, which is changed and formed by the influence of the vital man on his fellow man. In politics (he evil is overcome only by the good. The good man must get the good things done.

Indifference is death. The sermon, of which we have only been able lo give nn abstract, was ableand striking, and hisled an hour nnd ten minutes in its delivery, Everybody seemed pleased, and the highest opinion of its worth were expressed. Faun jump or a Itnilroiul Conductor. James Keane, a freight (rain conductor on the Reading Railroad, met with an accident at Mcrion station which resulted in his death. At this station he left his train and attempted to regain it after it got under way.

Hejumped on a gondola loaded with iron, but missed his footing and fell. In falling his left lejj was thrown across tho rail, and before he could move several oars had gone over it. The leg was almost completely severed, just below the knee. Medical assistance was at once obtained. The attending physician concluded, as Keane wanted to be sent to his home at Potlsville with as little loss of time as possible, to bandage the leg instead of amputating it.

He put a couple of tournequets on and bandaged it carefully. On the way home, however, the wounded man lost so much blood that be died in about an hour after his arrival at Pottsville. It is thought that if his leg had been amputated at or about the time of the accident his life might have been saved.

J. Ii. Stichter stated that he was pleased to observe that a farmers' club, or township agricultural association, had been formed in (Hey. This township, he said, so rich in fertile lands, and one of the first settled iu the county, would he greatly benefited by such an organization, President err said that this was a grand step which the citizens of the township had taken to further the cause of agriculture, and which could not fail to prove of much advantage to the county agricultural society. There is an institution of the same kind in his neighborhood Farmers' Cluh of (ieigertown), but the great difficulty experienced has been to keep it up.

(treat interest should be taken in matters of this kind. Col. J. L. Stichter then rend the following article on Hungarian grass seed The farmers In Berks county are having their attention draw to Hungarian grass as a valuable and cheap fessi for milch cows.

Hungarian grass is used iu the eastern and New Ki. gland states for fodder and cut always just More heading: It will then grow up again ami can be cut, if the ground is not tin) dry, three limes in a season, as It grows very thick and rank. It is sown iu New F.ngland as late as th Alth of July, as they calculate to cut it twice when sown this late, tt is excellent fishier for mllch cows, being very nutritious anil fattening. For fodder, one half to one bushel per sen is sow il. anil the larger nuanlity is generally considered the tiest.

as the thicker it stands the finer It Is. Dr. c. L. Slurtevant, of Sew York, I think has madea thorough trial of Hungarian grass for hay, and has found It excellent ami richer fissl than common hay.

He adds, it must Is cut as soon as the first heads begin to show. It is very dillit nit to cure.ls ing very juicy and rank In growth on goislsoil. EXI'EltlEXOK OP A CEACTICAL FARM ER. l'rof. Samuel 15.

Heiges, of York county, added a word in regard to Hungarian grass. He said that it is a very valuable fodder and that the paper had set out its virtues fully. He had, however, never been successful to cut it more than once in one season. He has cured '2 to acres of fodder very successfully at a single cutting, and if rains have followed soon after the cutting, he has had good pasture, In the New England States three or four crops can be raised in a season, but Ibis will not hold good in Pennsylvania, where one cutting is all that can be obtained. Although the objection had been raised that it is not good food for horses, he said that he had found it excellent: the horses require no grain and eat it with avidity.

In reference to the time of cutting, it cannot be cut in Pennsylvania as early as in the New England States, and care should be taken to cut it when in a milky condition. He is now trying "(ioldcn millet which is said to be superior as a fornee plant lo Hungarian gTass. Instead of growing three feetr high like the latter, it attains a height of five feet and matures in GO days from the time of coming up. Prof. Heiges then delivered his lecture on "Agricultural a report of which will appear in to morrow's issue.
