WHITTIER HAYES is DRIFTING

From the N. Y. Tribune. ~
The evident tendency of Mr.. HAYES
policy is to make elections hereafter what
they have often failed to be in the past, a
real indication of the popular preferences.
At the South he is endeavoring to do
away with bayonet campaigns and false
counting; at the North he purposes to dis
pense with the labors of post officers and
gaugers in "organizing victory" Redue-
ed to their last expression the twin re-
forms which he is bringing in, hand i'll
hand, mean nothing more or less than
free ballot, undisturbed by official in
fluences, and fair count governed by
the rules Of arithmetic rather than by
the politics of the custom house. If there
is any party in the United States opposed
to this sort of reform, by all means let it
go after Presidnt Hayes. --tl d
We should be glad to believe what the
Tribune says. But we can't see Mr..
Hayes efforts in this light.

punishment of wife-beaters. It pro-
vides that one convicted shall be tied
to a post in some public place and
there remain exposed to the jeers of
the passcrsby for period of several
hours. A placard on the breast will
indicate the offense. Two chronic
wife-beaters are now under arrest, and
the efficacy of the new law will have
a prompt test. The Importance of
providing some humiliating punish
ment, for those. who beat, women
seems to have secured more than
usual attention recently" A bill to es>
tablish a whipping for this class
of offenders is now before the Missouri
Legislature, and a similar proposition
has been brought forward in Illinois.

OF 13 " per cent have paid. This increase OF
dividents all appears in New York companies,
which with smaller capital have increased

more in percentage. Other state companies

Viewers, Strike,

BENNINGTON, VT, April 25.-The weavers in
Fishers mill struck today and operations are
temporarily suspended thereby This mill
manufactures repellant goods, and is the largest
in Vermont. 1t has run through hard times to
the full capacity, and the present strike is
caused by change Of work to heavier cloth. No
deduction having been made in prices recently,
Superintendent Robinson offered the weavers
increased price for heavier work, but the offer
was declined, they claiming that they could
notslive upon the prices proposed to be paid,
and demanding additional pay on account Of
the longer time required to weave yard of
goods. About one-half of the employees are
concerned in the strike. 1t is expected that
the places of the strikers will be filed in few
days, and the balance of the force are thrown
temporarily ont by the action of the weayers,
The strikers is severely criticised because of their
past continued steady employment while sew
eral mills in this vicinity have suspended or
run half time weeks at time within two
years.
