The voluntary proposition of the Rev. DIR.
Baldwin of the First Baptist Church of Troy,
n. Y, that his church make a reduction in his
salary of $500 year in view of the large ex-
pcnditures the congregation had made in re-
constructing the church building, has been
thoroughly appreciated by the members of his
flock. In the words of the resolution passed at
a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees of the
church, " Such instances of liberaity are rs rare
as they are unseliish.n

GLUCOSE.

The Louisiana legislature has passed s
bill to prohibit the sale. exposure to sale
or shipment of sugar or syrup adulterated
with glucose or any other foreign substance
without branding it for what it really is
1t does not forbid the sale of glucose sugar
and syrup, but it provides that they shall
be branded so that the purchaser may
know what he is buying. 1t is avery proper
law, particularly for Louisiana. The state
is producer of sugar and molasses, as
Chicago is producer of glucose; and as
the Chicago product is rapidly invading
the domain of sugar and tainting it in
every direction, some effective self defense
measure is demanded on the part of Louis
lana TO maintain the reputation of its chief
product. The Louisiana law will not ar
rest the adulteration of sugar and syrup;
that business will go on as actively as ever.
But the law will assure the public that
genuine sugar and molasses, untainted with
foreign ingredients, may be obtained in the
New Orleans market-and this will be
worth something to that city and state.

NEW ORLEANS.

The Picayfe,ae takes a roseate view Of. the
prospects of New Orleans. In respect that
there is much complaint Designation in
many quarters and that the past year has
not been without its discouragement to
the south, first inethe lack Of rain and then
in the destructive floods. the following is
unexpectedly cheerful:
"Details of building operations during
the last few months will be found else
where in our columns. It viii require
only glance to discover that the record is
very favorable iedeed. It shows that two
and one half millions of dollars are now
being invested in new buildings In New
Orleans. We may be pardoned for indulg-
ing little complacency in reference to
our prospective growth and position. in
the presence of SO reassuring fact Such
an investment betokens both vitality and
confidence-vitality on the part of the city
and confidence on the part of capital 1t
may fairly be accepted as an indication
that New Orleans is to go on in its march
of progress, despite all obstacles. Al
though hampered for time, capital now
sees the dawn of better times, and proposes
to invest while investment can be made to
advantage, in order to reap the fruits of

periods, but it is active and alert at the
first faint sign of promise, and is quick 10

the field of the new growth and success.

The sale of the Jumel property in New
York, which took place yesterday and day
before, has an especial interest because it
disposes of the old mansion SO intimately
associated with the historyzof the colonies
and the revolution. The mansion over
looks the Harlem and is one of those solid,
old fashioned frame structures with a
broad piazza supported on massive pillars
A visitor on Monday last wrote: Entering
the door is like stepping backward into a
past age. The hall, of generous proper
tions, is lined with objects which are
evidently old. A spinning wheel stands
beneath a very large picture of Mime.
Jumel, her niece, Mary, and her son
Beside this painting hangs small picture
of Napoleon l., who has always been an
object of admiration in the family. On
the left of the hall is a parlor, whose chief
historical attraction is that it was the
scene of the marriage of Mime. Jumel,
then widow, to Aaron Burr. It contains
objects of interest. however, which, unlike
the scenes that can only be remembered,
have lasted until the present day Among
them is a huge, well-worn, black leather
trunk, made in circular form and fastened
by heavy clamps and a lock, the
key of which is as large as a modern
door key, The trunk was once the
property of Napoleon. and was used by him
to carry his charts during some of his cam
paigns. The room is crowded with bric-a-
brac andsobjects of art. all of which are
old and curious. The furniture is of an
tique pattern, cumbrous in shape. surpris-

straight backed and SO massive as to be

of furniture in solid ebony upholstered in
heavy blue satin, and said to have been

In this ebony room Washington

The ancient but well preserved structure is

d wealthy Frenchman. who married Miss
Polly Bowen Of Providence, celebrated
beauty. Jumel died and Aaron Burr mar
ried the widow, thus acquiring interest in
an estate close to the home of Alexander
Hamilton, whom he had killed in duel in
1904. Years afterward son of Hamilton
also acquired an interest in the property.

Jumel gave rise to the celebrated litigation

of the antiquated establishment viii keep
it in such manner as to preserve its relics
and traditions. America has few struc-
lures with so rare a history. Romance
goes down before the practical spirit of the
age and a useful and valuable property
rarely falls into the hands of people who
can afford to keep it up for the memory of
what it has been. Probably the old build

WHERE THE MANUFACTURING is DONE

Chicago journals print with pardonable
pride the figures recently furnished by the
census bureau respecting the manufactur-
ers of twenty of the principal cities OF the
United States. Chicago is the fourth city
of the Union in population, the fifth in
wealth, but in many material points third
in its manufacturing interests. The fol-
lowing tabulated statements, showing the
number of establishments. the amount OF
capital used, the number of hands en-
ployed and the product illustrate the facts

The greenbackers are uncommonly live
ly all over the land just now, holding state
conventions and laying Down the law on
the subject of finance, public lands and
labor; but it is to be observed that in the
east they take position on the subject of
labor which their brethren in the west can
not consistently approve. For example,
the New Jersey greenbackers demand a
revision of the tariff so as the more effec
tually 10 protect the rights of labor
This means that high tariffs shall be levied
on certain manufactures to prevent them
from coming in competition with the same
classes of goods manufactured in New
Jersey and other eastern states. But these
goodssare consumed by the greenbackers
of the west, and the high tariff must in
crease the price of them: so that what the
New Jersey greenbackers demand is. that
the farmer grecnbackers of the west shall
be taxed for the protection of the manu-
featuring greenbackers of the
east. What do the green
hackers Of Missouri, Illinois and Kansas
say to this? Admitting that home labor
ought to be protected" the protection
should be general and equable. To make
"a Missouri farmer pay q price and q hAlf for
his impIHments, lumber, fencing boards
and wire, and clothing, merely to keep up
the wages and profits of people who live on
the Atlantic seaboard and call this pro-
secting American labor. Is . mockery and
snare Protective duties fall most severely
upon the farming Glasses. because they con
sumo the protected fabrics, while no pro-
lection is given 10 the crops produoed by
their labpr-and there is three times a.
much home labor engaged in farming as il
the specially favored manufactures. One
American laborer, whether mechanic, mill
operative or farmer, ought 20 have an equal
chance before the law with another. But
