A BIU UISE. Prices for Gralu of AH Kinds and Pork Bteadl y Increasing-. ' ' Ljracbbarg AdTMca " - During the past few days there has been a big upward jump in the price of flour and grain of all kinds, and consequently a corresponding rise in tbe value ot porkv a week s; time flour has risen fifty cents , per barrel in price, and the rue slowly continues witu a probability of a - still further ucrruo vi vtun uu ma uairei Simtiltaneooa with"the,! upwsrd ten' dency of tbe grain inarkct, there was an increase of f . e' i thirty , to forty cents per,' hundred' p unds in , the price of meats, dueof course to the fret that the hogs subsists principally oil tbe cereals. The rise extende to iliur, wheat, corn, meal, meats, lard, etc.. . The opinion, above expressed, as to the further Increase', ia based on the views of shrewd and well-posted wholesale grocers, brokers and com mission merchants, and the predic tion is very apt to be realised. A reporter to day interviewed this civs of mechants as to the cause of the increase. Of course all .know that the value of anything is general ly filed by demand ana supply, tbongb monopolist and speculators oiten senaiblv affect tne tnaraet. We leraned however that this jump was due almost entirely to tbe snoit age in the new crop, especially in the west tbe great cranerr of the world. The state of our market and of all others in this line depends on that of the Western markets and soon as they rose ours immediately followed. Tbe shortage in the crop is in quantity alone, Tbe California wheat crop, which influences the mar. ket, is also short- As to the effect of this increase, it will not be a matter of great impor tance unless the market rises much higher. .The consumer will I about the only ooe who can suffer, and rise of tl per barrel would not cause any hardship even to the poorer class. amounting to only about IS for tbe year in tbe average family. The farmer, (who most needs It), will be moat benefitted by the increase, as his living expenses will not be in creased while be can dispose of his surplus train at a rood figure. lbs shrewd merchant, broker and speculator- who had bought a big stock before tbe rise, will now pock et a neat little sum si the fruit of his foresight.

Large tears rolled down the cheeks of a girl about IS years of age, o: rather attractive appearance, who stood with drooping head behind the bars at the Central Station yes terday. She was Nellie Burns, who a year ago left a good home atMcKeesport, 1L' Ql.l. 1. i ... mm ot,tti, w mm me in a great city, oi.e tired oz tne monotony of a coun try life, and her desire to see .the world led her to adopt methods which were decidedlv Questionable She knew that it was impossible for a young girl to travel alone, and be ing determined to divorce hersel from every luxury that a well-to-do and indulgent father could provide tor her, she donned male attire.

She wag then dressed in a natty suit of male ature. . .Can you give me a position?" sne asKea ot the official in charge o: a t a. .... . - the employment bureau at the esteblishlient, "I'm willing to make myself generally useful about tne piace. The voice was that of a girl. The superintendent was surprised when ne gazed upon the applicant and saw what appeared to him a boy. surmising mat ner sex was discov ered she abruptly said she would called again, but she never returned. ihe next day she secured a situ ation as cash boy in an uptown drv goods store. She had not worked in the store more than a counle of days when she became a general fa vorite with all the boys about the place. Finally her sex excited sus picion and identification and dis charge followed. Concluding that she could do bet ter in the apparel that fashion de cress women should wear, she cast aside the male attire and next made her appearance at an intelligence office among a bevy of other appli ants for domestic work. It was there that E. Roth well Hnnt, who lives on Seventh street, near Oak lane, Olney, met and en gaged her. She was very attentive to her duties in the house and made a favoriable impression both on her employers and tbe neighbors. It was therefore a matter of surprise when the annancement made yes terday that the girl had been held in $000 by Magistrate Pullinger up on the charge of robbery. Mr. Hunt, who made the charce. stated that on Sunday last he and family went out driving, and on their return they were met at the door bv the servant, who exclaimed: "Oh. Mr. Hunt, vour brother was I I a nere aunng your aosence and went np stairs. Afterward he came down with a number of things which he said belonged to bim, and then he went away. MI have no brother," answered Mr. Hunt, and, goinsr up stairs, he found that Nellie's story was in part true, as tbe house had been thor. oughly ransacked, and money, jew elry and clothing taken. Hut Mr. 11 ant became suspicious and repor ted the matter to the police. lie then questioned the girl more closely, and finding she told con- Biting stories bad ber arrested. 1 he police got down to Nellie's former history and also learned that the girl enjoyed the alias of "Burling ton."

At a Knights of Labor tweeting in this city tonight General Master Workman Powderly, speaking on ballot reform, denounced the Lodge bill In most severe terms. He de clared that It would not only affect tbe people of the south, but tbe peo Sle of tbe entire country. Mr. row erly urged his hearers to make themselves heard in opposition to it. If tbe farmers of the bill, he said, were looking out for evidences of intimidation at the polls, they could find them as widespread in the North and East ai ia the South, A cyclone's nothing to laugh about, To ridicule or soon.

The present Congress enters upon it- a ll m . a 1 eue ninin montn ot the session to day, (August 1st) and the indispen sable, government appropriations nave not yet been passed. Ihe present Congress met with one party in absolute control House, benate and President. It had its work clearly defined bv its solemn pledges to the Deot)le to n- ouce tne surplus by the reduction ol taxes, and by the honest, economics! administration of the government, Under the specious nroinise hastening legislation and enabling , i tne majority to pass such measures as it chose to pass, the rules were violently changed to give the Speak er and the Committee on Rules the absolute control of the consideration of bills. The Speaker was created a desnot toas8uretbe prompt fulfilment of party obligations, and to win the confidence of the country by the enactment of all needed measures in time for an early adjournment Ihe Speaker accepted the despotic powers in the broadest sense, and he presents the unexampled record of a Congress entering noon its ninth month without even havingdisposed or tne absolutely necessary appro priation bills. Under the specious plea of allow ing tne.maionty to rule, the ispeaker 1 w nas arDitramy and defiance of a cen tury of accepted legislative law, us- sumed the right to declare the act of the minority to be the act of the majority; and sovereign States have been admitted into the Unien'and many measures of the gravest im port hare been declared passed by a minority of the body. With all this assumption of des potic power to hasten legislation, the only important result achieved is a looted Treasury, an assured den eiency instead of a surplus, and the promise of increased taxe's on labor instead of reduced taxes on the ne cessaries-of business and of life. The surplus that was to have been reduced by the reduction of taxes, has been wasted by unprecedented profligacy: the House on one occa sion voting more than a million a minute for a pension bill that only pension sharks and army dead-beats avored. And not only the surplus wasted, out a forced loan of some foo.UUU,- 000 has been made from a sacred trust fund to save the Treasury rom actual bankruptcy, and many greatly needed appropriations such as thepew Mint and Navy Yard of this city -must now be postponed indefinitely, while increased taxes on industry are threatened in the new tanlx bill. There is often not a quorum in either Houe or Senate including both parties; the Congress that promised so much in leasing the bur dens of the people has disgusted the ollowers ol tbe majority party, and the tamp that remains is worse than disgusted with both high tax tariff bill and the rorce Election bill. Adjourn the rump Congress! Senator Vanee's Powerful Ex position ot the IniqultlcR of tlieTarllTIUII. A correspondent of Washington writing to the Louisville Courier Journal last week says: Senator Vance probably never made in the Senate a common place speech since he has been a member of that body, and generally he makes an argu ment that any one would be pleaded to hear; but to-day, in opening the tariff discussion, he made one of the most powerful and highly interest ing speeches that he has ever de livered on any subject It was a shame tbat the Republicans were so scarce on the floor, for they might have, out of common courtesy, shown a Democratic member of the inance Committee some considera tion. It is a part of their pro gramme, however, not to listen to the arguments ol the minority gainst the outrageons McKiuley bill, and Mr. Mcl'herson tauntod hem with being so ashamed of the measure that they could not defend it Senator ance made an attack upon the bill tl at will greatly en lighten tne voters oi tne country. It was full of meaty facts, logic and some humor, as is always the cae when the brainy North Carolinian tackles any leading question. THE RIGHT SPIRIT. Ljni-Ubarg (V.,) Adrtnci We think the Hon. John P. Buch anan, recently nominated by the Democrat party of Tennessee for Governor, is made of altogether dif ferent material from Col. Tilman, of South Carolina, who is contesting far the gubernatorial nomination in that State, as the leader of Farmers' Alliance. Mr. Buchanan is the Pre sident of the Alliance in Tennessee, but lie is also a Democrat, and don't intend to sacrifice the one party for the other like Tilman annnnrn In ha doing, in Carolina. We think the fnemuof the latter would learn something by contrasting the bold utterances of their leader with the following patriotic declaration'! of f anner Buchanan given in a recent interview with a newspaper repor ter. "I urn making this campaign," :aid Mr. Buchanan, "as a Democrat on the Democratic tuatform. I have never urged anybody to sup port me because 1 was an Alliance man or a farmer: in fact. 1 have nev er told that I was a farmer in anw speech I have made. It is a grave mistake to suppose, as some do, that I am seokinr to arrav one class against auother, or that 1 want to benefit the agricultural at the ex pense of other inteiests. I believe that the farmers cannot be benefited by any course which would be or- pressiv or unjust to other interests. None more than the agricultural interests is benefited by the legiti mate growth of the mercantile, manufacturing and railroad inter- est. It is to our interest that the merchants with whom we deal should be pn.rx?rous. that manu factures should be developed, and that importation facilities should be increased and cheapened. We want nothing that would injure any ot tnem, nut we want to help all and hurt none. I want to be a Governor for the whole neonle of the Stuteand you know me well enough to know that 1 will be as 1 have always been a square, clean, Democrat" Mr. Buchanan said that tho in terest of farmers- lav with the Dem ocratic party and that whenever thev orzanized to secure fair and equal legislation it would not do otherwise than help Democracy. THE FARMEIwYn POLITICS. Washington Post, Rep.: To at tempt to put the fanners as a body in one 'independent political party would be as futile an experiment as has been the attempt to organize an independent party of laborers. The farmers themseves will have none of it. Alta Californian. Dem.: The Farmers' Alliance of Minnesota talks well and acts weakly. If it desires to accomplish the great ro om of war taxation which it de clares necessary, it should co-operate with the Democratic party, through which alone that reform fan come. New York Times. Ren.: Them ia no doubt that the day that the far mers as a claxs break loose from the Ifonnlihr-an rmrtv nn th fnm'fS iaaiia the fate of the protective tariff and of the Republican party will be sealed. It is by the votes of the far mers that the former has been main tained in force and the latter in power for nearly a score of years. St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep.: Senator Plumb's inquiry as to the ef fect of the pending tariff bill on the revenue is a legitimate and practical one. No explicit and detailed in- ormation has been furnished upon that point, and yet it is the point of hrst importance. 1 lie country does not want legislation that is likely to make a deficit, and certainly tha iepuolican party cannot afford to take the responsibility of bringing about such a result Memphis Democrat, Dem.: The active interest the farmers of the Xothwrct are te.kimr in Politics bodes destruction to the big Republican majorities in those state. The Re publican party ha no one to blame but iwlf. while the country is to bo congratulate., that the agricultural clawe are awakening to the fact tnat it is tli rough tbe tariff system, as fast.-ned upon the country by the Republican party, that they are be ing taxed out of their honest earn tngs.
