AT Patterson, n. j., on Saturday, 500
hands were discharged from the Danforth
Locomotive Works, and it is stated that
the works will be closed this week. Nearly
the whole force employed in the Grant
Locomotive Works was discharged. Three
hundred men were to have been discharg-
ed from the Rogers Works, but, instead
of doing so, the wages OF all the employees
were reduced % cts. per day, making an
equivalent to the proposed reduction.
AT Bangor, Me-, number of workmen
in the iron works were discharged. The
Eagle Mills, at West Chelmsford, Mass.
are to begin making three quarters time
this week, and the largest mill at Granite
vile half time. The wages of the Nara
gansett Steamship Company's employees,
at Providence, r. l., have been reduced
10 per cent. The operatives of the AL
exandria Cotton Factory, at Alexandria.
Va, have submitted to a reduction Of 25
per cent, rather than have the factory
closed. 1t is feared that two cotton mills
in Augusta, Me-, which made prints for
the Spragues' Cranston mills, will have
to close their factories, employing $50
operatives, with pay roll of S12 800.
Ten mills of various kinds at Manayunk
have susl ended operations entirely. They
usually employ 1850 hands. Another
mill employing 500 hands is running three
days in the week; others are running
three-quarter time

Miss Bette E. Lewis, whom the anti
monopolists of Sangamon county, ILL.,,
nominated for County Superintendent of
Public Schools, declined the nomination,
and the committee have selected Miss
Mary Howard, daughter of well-to-do
farmer, to Fill the vacancy in their ticket.
Miss Howard, who is a graduate of
Monmouth College and teacher, says
that she is thoroughly enough opposed
to the monopoly of effeminate employ
ment by men" to accept the nomination,
and she respectfully invites the voters of
the county to verify by actual expert
ment their time-wOrn, but as yet, un-
demonstrated assertions that women are
incompetent to fill this office, and that the
holding of it will be more demoralizing
than teaching district schools"
We do not know whether Miss Lewis
was elected or not. If she was not, she
ought to have been.

How IT HAPPENED.-The Meridian
Star thus accounts for the Ames victory
in Lauderdale
The white people we are ashamed to
say, elected the Radical ticket in Lau.
derdale county. There is no use deny
ing it. 1t is true. The most prominent
men of the Democratic party, as well as
those antediluvians who once figured as
wings and know-nothings, gave their sup
port largely both directly and indirectly
to the Radical ticket. So we hope that
they are satisfied.

The figures elsewhere published will
show the probable majority of the Ames
ticket. The result was not unforeseen,
and is due to several causes. The first
of which is that the colored voters are
largely in the ascendant in the State and
supported to great extent what they
considered the regular ticket. Besides
in many counties, the whites were divi-
ded. The Ames leaders claim, not with
out grounds, that he received consider
able aid from that class. Others aided
his ticket indirectly by staying away from
the polls. These are the buttoned-up
gentry who in 1867 did irreparable inju
ry to their own race and helped to put
the political adventures into power by
vowiDg that they would never vote so
long as "nigger" enjoyed the privilege
Of voice in the elections They got
off their stills in 1868, when the African
vote was needed to help them out of the
disfranchisment trouble; but they mounted
them quickly again and there they have
remained, a standing obstacle to the sue
cess Of every movement however sagely
devised, which has for its object the d.
vision into separate parts of the colored
element which their own folly forced into
a compact Opposition organization.
The doubts which were created by the
official papers of the Governor and At
torney-General IN regard to holding the
election, had a paralyzing influence in
the minds Of a great number Of Con
seryatives who staid away from the polls,
some under the impression that none
would be held, and others in the belief
that if held, it was liable to be overruled
by the Courts on the ground of its I'M
constitutionality.
The result, bad as it is, leaves the State
| in an infinitely better condition as to its
future prospects, than if Bourbon tick
| ct had been nominated and run on the
question of Race The choice would
|
party would have entered upon its career
in the administration Of the government
| fresh from a field in which the passions
and prejudices of Race would have been
the predominating element. The dispo
ition of candidates into two opposing Re
publican factions left the whites and
/ 1 1 Il, Ho+ Il
vested it of these dangerous characters
tics. The charge could not be made,
and is forever silenced, that the former
are seeking to divest the latter of their
newly acquired privileges. The negroes
were encouraged to habits OF independ
| ent thought and action which they in
dulged to a larger degree than ever be-
fore. Thus in Warren county, which
usually goes Radical by several thousand,
went for Ames' by scarcely as many hun
bred And Monroe county, which in
previous elections went Radical by from
1900 to 1900, now gives Alcorn upwards
of 800 majority.
Moreover, if it be true, as claimed,
that Ames received a considerable white
vote, it is to be hoped that the fact will
have tendency to soften his rule into
one of justice and Cancellation towards
the prescribed class. His promises were
fair; and many of the white voters are
represented to have judged him by them
rather than by his previous hostility and
malicious persecution as Military Gov
ernor and systematic misrepresentation
as U. S. Senator.
