The Sampson oil-cloth factory, at Halo
we'll, is an interesting place to visit Some
sixty men are now employed in the manu-
facture of the cloth: and, judging from their
robust look, it agrees with thep admirably
The factory is under the able management of
+. S. Burnham, Esq, who has been superIi-
tendent sixteen years. Years ago the Samp-
| sons started the manufacture Of oiD-cloth, in
a small way, in the village of Manchester
They were Quakers, and united the thrift,
industry, and character of that sect to good
business capacity and energy. From this OBJ
scure beginning grew the great firm OF
Sampson & Sons, in New York, which has
| factories on Long Island and at Hallowell.
Ships ply across the Atlantic loaded with
burlap, from the mills of Dundee. Scotland,
for this firm. The demand for their produc-
tons was never so great rs at present. Six
engines are required to run the works at Hal
lowell, and nearly everything, from stamping
to drying, is done by machinery. The hard
times have not affected their orders. They
have the reputation Of making the best oil
clsth in the market. and good times or bad
| times, there is demand for their production.
They have men in their employ who have
| been there twenty-five years. From s., 600
to So, 900 a month, is required to pay the help.
1t seems almost like romance to contrast
the hand stamping mill, which these drab-
coated Friends started in a country town, with
the great factories which they now represent.

TIE coNsrANTINoPLE CASE.

An American murdered, or killed, a
Turk, in Constantinople, and thereupon
the United States Consul General elaine
the right to try the offender himself, and
it is said did try him, find him guilty, and
sentence him to two months imprison-
ment. 1t is alleged that the right claimed
by the Consul has been secured by treaty.
If so it is very extraordinary arrange
ment. Ii the Ottoman Porte proposed to
our Government that all offenses committed
by its subjects in the United States should
be tried by the Turkish Minister at Wash
ington, would Mr.. Evarts entertain the
proposition? Would any other power on
the face of the earth entertain it? And
is it a reasonable proposition? The fact
that the American Consul General at
Constantinople has sentenced man to
two months imprisonment for homi-
eide, of itself indicates that such a
power is certain to be abused. Had this
man been tried in America for the same
ofense, and been convicted, it is not at all
probable that he would have escaped with
so light a penalty. But having killed :.
Turk it seems to be thought that the Dig
nifty of the United States demands his en-
reimbursement If an American commits

to the National Convention favorable to the

An application for writ of habeas corpus
in the case of All Lee, the condemned China
man, has been filed in the United States
Circuit Court by the attorneys for defendant.
It is claimed that All Lee is native of
China, is not subject of this Government,
and therefore his case does not fall within the
jurisdiction of the Court; also, that the present
Supreme Court of Oregon and State Circuit
Court are not constitutionally organized tri-
bunals, and hence have no power to decide
the question of the guilt er innocence of the
defendant There is but little time to lose,
as sentence of death is to he carried into
effect on the Goth instant The case will
probably be argued tomorrow.

with stories of wonderful passes through the

EcoNesEss AND THE WHITAKER CASE

We are not surprised that feeling is
manifested in Congress ON behalf of fair
play for the colored West Point cadet
Whitaker, for it has been made disgrace
fully plain that the academy authorities
have from the outset been endeavoring to
find him guilty. General Schofeld, with
most indecent haste, expressed the opinion
that he had mutilated himself, before any
inquiry had been made, and the academy
surgeon appears to have jumped to the
same conclusion upon equally fragile found
ations. In fact it has been apparent that
the academy authorities generally would
eagerly embrace an opportunity to expel
this lad, and they have conducted the ex-
animation throughout precisely as though
they were trying him upon specific
charge, and not at all as if they admitted
the possibility that his story might be true.
The animus of the inquiry has been brought
into still stronger relief by the utter failure
of all the attempts to fasten the deed upon
Whitaker. Every fresh development
makes it more improbable or impossible
that he should have arranged the situation
in which he was found. There is, however,
growing reason to suspect that West Point
needs more thorough investigation than
it will ever get at the hands of its own Off
GERS, and Congress might do worse than to
take measures for such an inquiry.

THE INDIANS AND THE WAR DEPART
MENT.

A proposition has just been made in Con-
gress to transfer the control of the Indians
to the War Department. 1t is amazing
that any Congressman should propose such
a measure at this time, for the expedient
has already been tried, and it has been a
calamitous failure. Mr.. Hooper does not
know, or he forgets, that the War Depart
ment had control of the Indians for some
thing like thirty years, and that dur
ing that period they were worse man
aged than ever before. The fact has been
made plain repeatedly that the army is
utterly unfit for such a function. Its
present heads are VIGOROUSLY hostile to the
Indians, and have been identified with the
most barbarous treatment of them. From
the Piegan and Fort Grant massacres to
the recent and most hideous massacre at
Fort Robinson, the heads of the army
have approved every act of brutality and
inhumanity towards the Indians. There is
no doubt as to the sentiments of Generals
Sherman and Sheridan on this subject,
and therefore it would be most improper
to place the Indians under their control.
The United States Government has done
enough evil in this direction. It is time it
endeavored to cancel some of its black and
bloody Indian record, and to act with honor
and humanity towards these its poor wards.

TROOPS AT THE POLLS.

The Democrats in Congress have carried
their rider to the appropriation bill relating
to the use of troops at the polls, and of
course expended the usual amount of cheap
rhetoric ON the occasion. They are terribly
shocked at the idea of Federal troops being
placed near the polls, because they know
perfectly well that there never can be any
use for troops save for the purpose of pre-
venting Democrats from intimidating col
ored voters. Democratic Congressman have
no feeling of horror and disgust for the
presence of Southern White Leaguers or
Red Shirt Brigadiers at the polls, however,
even though they are aware that these
latter are armed and drilled, and that they
are organized for the purpose suppressing
the votes of their fellow citizens. OF all
the impudent hypocrisy politicians practice,
the Democratic can't about the danger to
republican institutions of troops at the
polls is by far the most disgusting and pre-
posterous

STATE CONVERSATIONS.

State Conventions are beginning to be
held, and the prospects of the various Pres
idential candidates will henceforth be more
capable of estimate. Kentucky and Mis-
souri, have chosen Grant delegations, and
Iowa has gone as solidly for Blaine. Massa-
chusetts is about to speak, and it seems to
be believed that her delegation will be in
structed for Edmunds. 1t is to be noted
that the results thus far are not as ia
vorable to Blaine as his friends had ex-
pected. In one of the latest circulars pub
lished at his headquarters an estimate is
given of the vote likely to be cast in the
National Convention, and he is there given
five votes from Kentucky, none of which
he will get, as it now appears, while Mis-
souri,, which has gone solid for Grant, is
put down as doubtful. He expects 10 out
of 26 in the Massachusetts delegation, hav-
ing given Edmunds s, but it seems possible
that Edmunds may get them all. The
boast of the Grant men that he would
carry the entire Southern delegations is in
fair way to fulfllment, and the fact,
should it prove to be so, will give
special emphasis to the non-representative
character of these Southern delegations.
They do not stand for any Republican
strength in their States. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that every Southern State will
elect Democratic Electors. Yet the
machine Republicans of these impotent
States will enter the National Republican
Convention with almost power enough
to dictate the nominee of the party
against the rest of the country. Evidently
this is a very precarious condition of
things, seeing that the rank and file are
Republicans, and not Democrats. The
latter in such case would vote unhesi-
tatingly for the party choice, and never
pause to inquire how it came to be made,
but Republicans have an awkward habit of
boiling when they are dissatisfied with
the party management, and the activity of
the Independent movement at the East
appears to bode i'll for the success of any
scheme to steal the nomination by the votes
of misrepresentation delegations.

THE DEFEAT OF THE MINING Bill

The defeat of the Braunhart- futile min
ing bill may be accepted as indicating the
failure of all attempts to regulate the stock
-..sassaiilet and the mines thus far The need
and undeDiable. 1t is true that the oppo-
nents of legislation have been strengthened
by the foolish attempts of ignorant persons
to deal with the subject, and that Gorleys
bill did more to prevent the passage of any
remedial measure than all the argu-
ments of the brokers. But the history of
mining management on this coast and in
this State is so consistent and striking a
record of fraud and conspiracy, swindling
and perjury, usurpation and tricllery, that
those who resist all measures for the pro-
lection of the public lay themselves open
to the sharpest suspicion. We are, how
ever, less disposed to regret the failure of
legislation On this subject because it seems
to us that the matter is rapidly approach
Jig point at which it must work its
own relief. The public faith and public
credulity have at last been worn out. The
concentration of the principal mining
properties in the hands of few men has
made it evident to the dullest capacity
that the outside operators cannot have the
least prospect of success. There is no
longer any element of chance in the game,
and though plenty of people will go on
gambling all their lives if there is the
faintest prospect of winning, very few are
so infatuated as to stake their money per-
petually where the dealer takes everything
of necessity. The brokers and mining
spectators who have opposed the futile
bill DO not understand their own interests.
There is really but one way to revive the
stock market, and that is by restoring
public confidence through the agency
of protective legislation. Until that
is effected it may be safely pre-
dicted that there will be no considerable
restoration of business, and the failure Of
this bill therefore renders it certain that
the approaching season will bring no re-
covery to stocks The truth is that the
insiders have been running a ''hogging
"game" too sel6shly and persistently.
They have depended too much upon public
gullibility. There is point at which that
elastic element ceases to be capable of
further stretching, and such point has
now been reached. And since the public
know the mining fraternity far too well to
believe that they will return to honest
ways without being compelled to do so, it
follows that the brokers and their hackers
have committed suicidal piece of folly in
defeating the only measure which could
have put them on their feet again. They
will realize this before six months have
passed.
