TRADES Disputes IN GERMANT.-At Chem.
nitz SaxOny, one of the most inn Ortant factory
towns in Germany, there are Mt the present
moment 5000 engineers and ironmoulders o
strike for reduction in the hours Of labor from
twelve to ten day. For some time past the
factory workers of Saxony, like those of Swift
zerland and Belgium, have carried on an agta-
ton for ten hours working day, under the
leadership of prominent members Of the Inter
national The success Of the metal workers of
Ververs and the victory of the Newcastle strike
acted as a stimulus upon the engineers and
ironmcuIders of Chemnitz, but the employers
have turned deaf ear to their solicitations.
Having gone through the usual preliminaries TO
gain their end, the reduction of the working
hours to sixty week and twenty-five per cent
extra pay for overtime, without convincing the
employers of the business of the demand STRIKE
was resolved upon a fortnight ago, and 5000
men struck. Monster meetings were held in
the town and neighborhood, at which the action
of the strikers was unanimously Endorsed and
the obdurateness Of the employers denounced.
Two resolutions were unanimously carried,
one pledging the workingmen of Chemnitz to
agitGse with ali the means at their command for
an Imperial ten hours law for the whole of
Germany; and TO keep n strict watch that the
public peace and order should not he disturbed
under any pretext whatever. This resolution
has hitherto been strictly adhered to, though,
according to the statement of the strikers the
police authorities have given provocstOn to
improvise a riot, and would be too glad to put
the strike down by main force. Six firms have
turned their backs upon the masters union and
given in to them and the others have offered
to reduce the working hours to eleven a day,
which, however, the men will not accept. The
police authorities of LeiPsic have prohibited
public meetings in favor OF the strikers to raise
money.-LOndon Times

fare, to arouse such feeling Of Indignation at
the effort to bring foreign agricultural pro-
ducts, foreign iron, wooden, and cotton manu-
features, and foreign labor into free, unre-
stricted competition with American agricultural
and manufacturing products and American
labor, free traders would not care to meet.
But, though individual manufacturers, ffso
Captain. E. B. WARD, of Michigan, and q few
others, have used their means unsparingly to
enlighten the people upon this subject, there
has been no united, vigorous, systematic action
on the part Of all American manufacturers to
counteract the poison the enemies of American
industry are constantly spreading broadcast
over the land at an enormous outlay of money.
We tell manufacturers that they must meet
these men with their own weapons, organise q
. national association for the protection of
American manufacturers, American labor,
and American interests. of all kinds, and adopt
q wise and liberal financial system Of opera
tons. Manufacturers have a capital of over
$40, 900, 900 invested in their business, and
they make annually not less than one thousand
million dollars worth of fabrics, consume an
nuslly $3.50, 0OO, 900 of agricultural products,
give direct employment to 100000 laborers,
and direct support to 10, 500 900 of people.
Unless some systematic, liberal. vigorous
united plan be adopted, this mighty interest
will be sacrificed to the false god Of free trade.
When the next Presidential election shall be
over, and all the restraints il now imposes
upon many misguided Republican revenue

and persistent war than ever will be prosecuted
against the whole protective policy. And un

WE have received information from an officer
of the United States army, whose statements
are entirely reliable, that in one Of the counties
of North Caroina-SamsOn-a one hun
dred arrests of Ku Klux have been made. and
that many of the gang ara coming in and
making confession. Some of them, badly
frightened, are confessing themselves inn0
cent-that is, they belonged to the order, but
did no harm. This is a pretty story. The
officer is of opinion that if the troops had not
reached the county referred to at the time
they did, the United States Commissioner and
a deputy marshal who were there, would have
been murdered
The oath of the Ku. Klux in this county, a
copy of which the officer has sent u.s. is one OF
the most horrible of all these oaths. From
confessions made it seems this oath was taken
with one hand on the Bible and one on human
skull. In one of these Dens-and we presume
they are all alke-there was a vial Of blood,
the skull of coored man, and the skull of "A

hundred and twenty thousand people present,
and central committee was appointed to
organize and control tho cOmpaign which
ended, according to the kilograms, in triumph
for the Republicans The Republicans and
Radicals in the COrtes usually work in concert
and both the Radical and Republican leader
have been pointed in their remarks on Col0hial
policy In the estimation of Rivero, the Rad

rights are not inherent in the quality Of
Spanish American citizen the nation, or rather
the European portion of the nation, may o.

A Ludier0us Mistake.

A Sacramento lady found herself

crowded railway car and occupied a
seat with another lady passenger -
Like great many other women
of the present day she were curls--

fastened on strictly according to
natures programme. By-and-by, as
the train jolted along, she felt some.
thing falling about her face and
neck, and in a second 1t flashed
across her brain her curls had be-
come detached The predicament
was shocking one, but she en-
deavored to save herself as much as
possible by quietly passing the cap
illary ornaments into her pocket,
thanking her stars that she was al,
most at her destination. At the
station she hastened to the dressing
room to repair damages to her toilet,
when behold /! the mirror reflected
back the fact that her curls were In
the proper position, and an examin-
alton of those in her pocket showed
that they were not hers, but of a
different color, and belonged to the
lady who sat beside her In the car,
