The gathering of statistics Is made
specially to greater extent in Massa-
chusetts than in any other State in the
Union, for usually they are very dry
reading, but when they relate to the
working classes of the country especially
they take on q character that is interest
ing. For this reason that part OF the
report of Carroll d. Wright, OF the
Bureau of Labor and Statistics of Massa-
chusetts, on labor prices and compensa-
ton in New England mills, is worthy OF
attention. The Cincinnati Tbnses.StGr
has condensed these statistics, and re-
minds its readers that in reading them it
must be remembered that many factories
are run BY water power, and that much
time is lost during the winter in conse-
quence of freeze, ETC., for which lost
time employees are not paid.
The number of hours of work per
week in the mills in Massachusetts, is
from sixty-three to sixtY-six. Spinners

the wages of the highest class of laborers
do not exceed SO to $12 per week. In
the wooden mills in Maine, men are paid
81 80 a week, women s. 80, and chill
dren from 81 25 to S. 40. One paper
mill pays men so 90 week, and
women S. so for seventy-two hours
work. In Connecticut operatives are
expected to work fifteen hours day,
and are paid 50 a week to men, 81 so to
women, s. 10 to boys and 81 so to girls.
The highest wages paid to spinners is S..
In New Hampshire the wages are lower
than in Maine, in Rhode Island they are
a trife higher, and in both States the
operatives are required to put in sixty
six hours a week
Mr.. Wright significantly remarks that
''long hours and poorly paid labor tend
to brutalize."

which provides that any person who
shall be guilty of using obscene or pro-
fame language in room or place occu-
pied and used as post Office, shall be
fined not less than five nor more than
one hundred dollars. 1t is the i'm

The Sixpeuny Savings Bank in New
York. which has been in process of liqui-
dation for some time past, has made its
fourth and final dividend to its deposi-
tors. who have received in all between 81
and Sc per cent Of their deposits. The
receiver volunteers an opinion that this
is a good showing and boasts that the
lawyers have only secured $1,000 out o.
the wreck, but does not state how much
he took for his salary. The bank Orlgi-
nally owed its depOsitors over 81, 200, 600
and hence some S255, 900 has disappear

paid the amounto one or two years just to
keep that concern from manufacturing
steel rails. Their profits must have been
enormous to permit of that payment. The
money did not come ont of the govern
ment, but out of the pockets of the people
who used the railroads of your pock-
cts and mine, and our neighbors'- and it
came in this direct and wicked way. The
system was devised to give the privileged
few favored market, and The great mass
of the people We're compelled to pay an
artificial price. Is it strange that we who
study this subject are stirred to indigna-
ton by these things? There never was a
protective tariff devised since the system
was first inaugurated that was not intended
to enhance the price of an article for the
benefit of the few at the expense of the
many. This is the whole policy and aim
of protection.

HEALTH ORDINANCE.

The purpose of the health ordinance i
not plain to all the citizens of Rock Island
and few words of explanation will not b,
a miss The point in the ordinance prin
cipally objected too is the necessity OF
taking out a license to carry on many
kinds of business. The reason for it is
obvious on the slightest thought, it is &c
bring "a business that if left to itself might
develope into nuisance under the con-
troll of the city and health authorities
The recent experience which the city has
had in its endeavor to restrain what were
undoubted nuisances. has certainly proved
the necessity for more thorough police
supervision of these matters in the future,
and the licensing of them is the most prac-
tible way.
The fee demanded is small not more
than enough to cover the expenses of the
department. and the effect will be that,
inasmuch as the persons licensed
obtain their permission to carry on their
business from the city authorities there
fore they are under the control of the city
If the complaining parties deport them
selves so as not to make nuisance of
their places of business no one will be
hurt; if they do not the ordinance gives
the city authorities an opportunity to
redress IT.

DRIFTS OBJECTION.

The refusal of Ortiz to serve on the com
mittce on rules was a mild protest from
that gentleman against the appointment
of Speaker Keifer. Orth is an Indians
man and should not expect too much from
Ohio, especially at q time when Ohio feels
that her Christmas was not as prolific OF
gifts in the shape of offices as usual. But
there is some Justice in his claim that II
the democrats could find it in their hearts
to put him at the head of committee, that
his own party could have been as gener-
GUS But in this smile Orth makes one
mistake; it is true that Keifer is republi-
can, but he is also stalwart and the half
breed makes the mistake of his life
when he expects as many favors from stall
warts as from democrcts.
The latter are not too well disposed, but
the feeling between them is as mild as a
May day when compared with the August
blasts of hatred with which the stalwarts
and half-breed regard each other. The
democrats complained that the committees
had not been fairly made up; and well
they might when they consider the fairness
with which they had treated the republic
cans at the last session; but it now seems
that the half breeds find more fasllt than
they do.

FITz JOHN PORTER.

| For twenty years General Fitz John
Porter has lived under cloud, accused OF
deed of which he never was guilty, and
now comes Grant and states that, in his
| opinion, the charges made SO long ago
were false. Is it not tardy PREPARATION?
| Grants words are: Having recently
made anWNamination of the testimony
| and the record of the court of inquiry.
have become convinced that Gen. Porter
was really guiltless and blameless as a
soldier in Pope's campaign of 1862" OF
the facts in the case, Grant should certainly
be good judge and considering the time
he has allowed to elapse before he makes
! the avowal, he is far from being willing
witness
| That opinion must be the one of every
man who has looked into the testimony
made to support charges which is to famil-
lar to the American people to demand re-
hearsal For twenty years has General
Porter been knocking at the door of Con-
gress asking for rehearing and trial;
he was confident he could prove his limo
cence But his request has all along been
denied and the injustice done the old sold
Ter has been to great for present repara-
ton to wipe away.
At the beginning of the war he had
every reas on to expect brilliant career
as he had received a military education
and possessed both the ability and desire to
use it to his country's glory and his own
honor But in the beginning all his hopes
were ended and he was consigned to dis
graceful obscurity from which
all his efforts to emerge proved fruitless.
That he was the victim of blind fanati-
cism and the wild passions of the hour, is
now undoubted, aud he was made scape-
goat to bear the errors and incompetency
of others.
But now comes Grant and states that he
is innocent. 1t is rather late, but there is
still time for some sort of re aration; 1.-The
only thing that can be done is placing his
name upon the retired list, although ii
must be done without back pay.
It is claimed that Giant has taken the
action he did for the purpose of atteacting
democratic aid to himself in his efforts to
be put on that list If such is his purpose
he will be unsuccessful, the two cases are
entirely different Porters is an act of
simple justice. Grant is asking for a |
favor.

MORE TIMES.

The granting permission to the defenss

prosecution will have the privilege to in

ones of the defense and in turn they vii
want to bring in new ones for surrebuttal.
1t did seem as If we were nearly at an enc
OF this tedious affair but now it is all oper
and the heart grows sad in view Of the
amount of slush we are to have let loose
