The Wages of the Fall River Operatives
Raised

The Wages of the Fall River Operatives
Raised.
FALL RIVER, March AT meeting of the
Board of Trade, held this afternoon, it was
decided to raise the wages of all operatives in
the city 10 per cent, the increased rates to go
into effect April LIST. This is in addition to
the advance Of 10 per cent. given Jan. LIST,
making an increase of 25 per cent. since the
latter date against 10 per cent. given by the
manufacturers of Lowell and Lawrence. This
advance, however, does not seem very satisfac-
tory to the spinners, who few days ago asked
an increase Of 16 per cent. A meeting of
spinners was held tonight to hear reports of
committees appointed to obtain answers to this
request. Resolutions were adopted that cor
porations are realizing greater profits than in
1873 when spinners wages were 40 per cent.

of support could be rendered if needed; that

it be left to name ten mills to be struck if ans

Gen. Melikoff's Assailant to be Hanged.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 4.-The man who
tired upon Gen. Melikoff in st. Petersburg is a
converted Jew named Modetsky, from Minsk
He was tried and sentenced today and will be
hanged tomorrow
An official account of the ATTEMPTED assass
nation of Gen. Melikoff differs in some re-
spects from the reports hitherto given The
attempt was made at point opposite the
Protestant chapel, the church of the English
embassy. The weapon used was revolver.
and the ball passed through Gen. Melikoff's
overcoat, and striking the breast-plate which
the General wore, glanced aside. His escape
was at first considered marvellous, but the fact
OF his wearing bullet-proof armor sufficiently
accounts for it.
Modetsky said at the trial that Melikoff
would be killed by some of his comrades: that
aitnough his own attempt bad failed Others
would be made.

As u journal that lives In the south, and
knows 10 well, the Nicksburg Herald feels that
as all these northern fellows have their loug.
range opinions about the south, II is proper
for IL TO express some formed on the ground.
We are moved to this from expressions that
have appeared in certain quarters to the effect
that the south should be handled according 10
stalwart ideas. That is The national admin.
istratiou should interfere Ia the different
southern states for the purpose of protecting
the freedom OF tho ballot and the rights Of
the colorcd people. We are rs earnestly IN
favor Of free ballot, free speech and free
education as any stalwart, but we know
that nothing could be more unwise than for
the national administration TO interfere in tue
affairs of any southern state more than "
would In those of auy northern state. Some
times patience Is the height of statesmaushp;
this Is one Of the times Vteksburg (Miss.l
Herald.
This sounds like the voice of JACOB, but
it may be the hand of EsAU. To admit
the importance of "a free ballot, free
speech and free education" is simply ad-
mit.ing what is right, and that whateveris
done TO violate and vitiale these essential
elements of our national welfare is q wrong,
whether IL be in the south or the north.
The Herald. however, must be aware OF the
fact that neither free ballot free speech
nor free education Is interfeIed with in
the north as they are in the south, and
hence there is no call for the national ad-
ministraiion TO interfere in that section. If
the national government has any power
and right to interfere in behalf of honest
| elections, the freedom of opinion and speech
and a free education of the people in our
political contests for the election of ma
tioual officials then that right and power
should not be abridged in any section OF
the country. And when they are inter
fercd with and abridged by the people OF
any state, the question Of policy should
yield TO the public good, and a prompt and
efficient remedy should be applied. That
| patience which tolerates palpable wrong
| when the power of correction exists does
not seem to be "the height of statesman
ship" in preserving the national interest and
integrity. We agree with the Herald that
our national policies Of administration
should apply alike to all the states and all
the people. Then only those who offend
will be amonable to the power Of the gov
