her prominent men, both in and out of
Parliament. English cutlery-makers
are filed with alarm At the growing fa-
vor with which various articles Of Amer
lean cutlery are received both in Eng
land and in the English colonial mar
kets. In chopping-sxes and some 9TH
or edge tools, our manufacturers have
not only secured the whole OF the de-
mand at home, but have also gained the
general custom OF the world in prefer
ence to England. Wages in English
wooden mills are much less than in the
mills of the United States. The Hon.
Edward Young, Chief Of the Bureau OF
Statistics, gives, in bis work entitled
"Labor in Europe and America, the
prices paid per week in Leeds, as stated
by the proprietors, are a. follows: Over
seers, $12.1O; spinners, STA; weavers,
So 6S; curriers', 1896; engineers, sS.47;
dressers, $6.29. The date of those wa
ges were Oct. 9, 1872. 1t is probable,
on account of the great depression of
manufacturing industry throughout
Great Britain, that the wages are now
much less. Mr.. Young states the wages
per week of equivalent occupations in
the wooden mills of Massachusetts, after
the panic, in 1874, IS follows: Over
seers, 1851; spinners, S9.45; weavers,
Ss.07; curriers', 1884; engineers, 1924;
dressers, sS.04. Very likely these wa
ges are less now. This is the nearest
direct comparison we are able to make
at present.-Inter Ocean.

The superiority of the highest grade
Of English cutlery has resulted from the
vast amount of accumulated wealth and
aristocrstic life in Great Britain, which
has provided a regular and large mar.
ket tor the sale of the finest and most
expensive kinds of cutlery. The de-
mand for these kinds in the United
States having long ago been engrossed
by the foreign manufacturers, the growth
OF our competition has been quite grad
ual until recently. At our present rate
of progress the time is not distant when
this country will overmaster all rivalry,
because our artisans put more intelli-
gence into their work than the mechan-
les of any other nation. The principal
now to be overcome is the ex-
ceeding cheapness of manual labor in
and this end will no doubt be
by the unequaled genius
Of our people for inyenting bor-saving
With the exception above
noted, our cutlery is unquestionsbly the
best in the world; but it is claiming too
much to cay that We are running the

The ROYAL order establishing the OF

The royal order establishing the or
ganic, municipal and provincial laws in
force in Spain was promulgated in Cuba
the first week in July. The Official Ga
zette has an explanation Of the appllca-
ton of these laws. The principal I'M.
portance of this measure lays in the lat
itude it affords all citizens to vote, q
freedom heretofore unknown to the peo-
pie at large. Henceforth every man
who pays q tax of only S. has right to
vote, a. well for tho election of the mu-
nicipaIity as for the future representa-
tives of this island in tho Spanish Cor
tes. Henccforth any village, town, or
district whose inhabitants can raise suffi-
cient funds to sustain public expenses
has the right to elect its own municipal
ity. Furthermore, the island will be
subdivided into provinces probably
6ve), each province having its Governor.
This will simplify matters very much
and do away with the host of Govern
ors, there being one now in aim ost ev-
cry large town. The greater latitude
given to the whole administration will
crafty the Cubans, who will thereby
have opened to them all public employ
ments, putting them on an equal footing
with the Spaniards.

Smith and Cavanau ugh.

There has been quite a disposition on
the part of Marshall county Republicans
to put forward ex-county treasurer, Jas.
Smith, for the Office of Secretary of
State. His ability and popularity at
homo are such as to have insured O
strong probability of success had his
friends determined to press his claims.
One of the leading obstacles to such Q
course lay in the fact that the Hon. ex-
Treasurer favored the present incum-
bent, Thos. Cavanaugh rather than
James Smith, of Marshall county, for
that important Office.
As Mr.. Smith appears to be strenu.
ously resolved to adhere to his own
convictions, It is more than probable
that tho Republicans of Marshall will
coincide with bis views, and they, too,
support tho claims of Mr.. Cavanaugh.
Certain 1t Is, that next to MIR. Smith,
the popular and twice tried Secretary
has all along been the choice of the
leading members of tho party in this
section. We have no reason to believe
that they will change their views in
this regard.-Blue Rapids Times.

NORMAL INSTITUTES.

The County Normal Institute system
inaugurated last year was, in many re.
spects, an experiment. 1t was matter
of doubt whether in four weeks ses-
sion much real good could be done. The
results of last years work more than
satisfied the most sanguine friends OF the
system. At very slight expense over
four thousand teachers had an opportun-
ity to meet with prominent educators and
receive instruction from them in methods
of teaching. This summer much more
is expected of them. Conductors have
met and exchanged views and thus uni
formity of methods wilI be secured. The
mistakes of last year, unav oidable in any
new undertaking, will be avoided in
great measure and the greatest good will
be secured to the teachers. 1t is expect
cd that practically all the teachers of the
state will be in attendance.
The Normal of Saline County will be
organized next Monday the 22nd. Ev-
cry teacher and every person expecting
to teach should be in attendance from
the first. A thorough review of all
tho branches required by law, and drill
in methods of teaching will be given. A
class for the study of the ga" grade
branches will occupy the afternoon ses-
sions. Lectures will be delivered by
Noble Prentis of Topeka, State Supt. A.
B. Lennon, and President Pomeroy
of the Emporia Normal School. An Or
gan and choir will enliven the sessions.
