FIFTEEN FACTORIES To CLOSE,

to Work To-Day.
N. Y. Sun.
The fifteen cigar manufacturing firms of
whose association S. Ottenbere & Bros
are members are to lock their doors to-
night, aud 5000 of their employees have
been instructed not to go to work Thurs
day morning. The progressive union
held two meetings Tuesday, stormy
one at Houston and Allen streets late
last night-and decided to persist
in the strike. Committees reported that
the fifty cigarmakers Of the union in s.
DObriner's shop in Thirty ninth street had
struck for an advance of so cents a
thousand and obtained it, and that 200
progressive union cigarma kers in MoOneli's
shop in Thirty sixth street had obtained
an advance of % cents per thousand for
bunchers. 1t was also reported that
Kaufman Brothers and Bondy's EN-
ployes, over $50 non-uniOn men, at
Forty Grst street, and Levy Brothers
employees, Oyor 800 nOn union men, struck
yesterday when the notices were posted
that lockout was to take place.
Mr.. Mccoy, president OF tho mapufac-
turers' union, said This affair is a fight
between the progressive union and the
international union. We will keep the
shops locked until the progressive union
men will go to work without having
anything to say about whom we shall
employ. We don't care whether the
employees are union men or not but the
manufacturers certainly will not submit
to dlctation by ono of the unions or both
of them. We have NO secret or open
understanding with the international men
to supply us with men.
Vincent Woylisek, Of the progressive
union, said last evening: eff We stick to
the constitution G, 900 men will 60 out of
tue shops. We can give all our members
S. man each week for six weeks to come.
Those who are not locked out will con-
tribute all the way from 10 to 25.per cent"
President A. Strasser, Of the interna-
tional union, said '' The fight is three
cornered. The progressive union fights
us, VIC resist them, and the manufacturers
lock us out in order that We may keep di-
vided. They see that so long as the two
trades unions exist they will quarrel. The
worst that could happen to the manufac
turers would be tho conqusring of one
union or the other"

Upon the adjournment of the re gular
session of the Legislature without passing
legislative, judicial and congressional ap-
pOrtiOnment bills the governor, by procla
tion, convened the assembly in extra ses.
sion for the purpose of making such
apportionment. The Senate being Re-
publican and the House Democratic the bill
failed during the regular session by the re-.
fusal OF the Republican Senate to recede
from certain partisan and unfair appor-
tionment bills formed by Quay and Magee
in the interest of Cameron. As the con-
stitution expressly commands the Legisla-
ture to appOrtiOn the state immediately
after each United States decennial census, :"
the governor convened the extra session for
the purpose of having this neglected duty
performed. Appearances indicate that no
appointments can be effected. 1t is now
five weeks since the extra session was
called, and the Republican Senate still
refuses to agree to any bills except those
determined upon by the Republican eau
Gus. The Republicans ask eighteen con.
gressmen out of twenty eight and offer
the Democrats but ten, though on tie
Garfield vote they are only entitled to tif
teen and the Democrats should receive
thirteen. For purposes OF compromise the
Democrats have offered to take
eleven and give their opponents seven
teen. These Overtures have been declined.
In the senatorial apportiOument the Re
publicans claim thirty-two and offer their
opponents eighteen senators. The present
Senate stands twenty to thirty. The
Democrat, while they say they are
entitled to twenty two senators aud the
Republicans to but twenty eight, Offer
to take twenty and give their opponents
thirty. The Republican Senate however
will not recede from its caucus bill Of eigE.
teen and thirty two. AS matter Of fact
the Republicans desire to prevent any new
apportionmenu at all, being content with
the present law. which was made upor
the census of 1870. The two Houses are
therefore at deadlock. and the extra
session is likely to adjourn with the
constitution still unobeyed and $780, OOC
wasted by the obstinate refual of the
Republican members of the Senate to
violate the instructions if their pa1ty

The Open Roast of tho Conspirator.

Philadelphia Record.
When Mr.. Dorsey tells the story of the
Indiana election in 1880, however, it may
be depended on that he is relating that
which he k nowsto bc true, and there was
never a more disgraceful incident in
American history. Oddly enough, MIR.
Dorsey tells of his part in it with evident
pride. Ho fairly glories in his success as
a corrupter of elections and as wholesale
briber. He frankly admits that thorough
and individual canvass of the state
showed it to be "hopelessly Demo-
cratic" In the latter part of Septem-
Der, however, he had completed his Or
ganization aud had learned "the intluen-
ces that could be brought to bear on each
voter" then, he says, the sum of $432,
600. contributed by the funding syndicate,
was sent from New York to Indiana,
mostly in 50 bills. Mr.. Dorsey's tino feel
ings and sensitive honesty prevented him
from taking personal part in the distri-
button of this filthy lucre to the itching
palms of the sordid vote sellers. AS he
expresses his duties he was there "to pre-
vent, so far as possible, any of the money
from sticking in the pockets of
the men who were trusted to dis
tribute it." The man intent on steal.
ing the presidency of the nation must
have had holy contempt for tho lessor
thieves, his trusted underlings, who
might try to steal few hundreds of dol
lars of the bribe money. He says that
"these bills were distributed through the
state, just as ballots were, in great
punches. The destination of each was
perfectly well known, and by noon of
election day they had fallen like snow
flakes silently all over the state, although
more in some parts than others. Then
came the count of polls in the evening.
The four hundred and thirty two thousand
dollars in two dollar bills, combined with
Dorsey's plan of organization, had won
The Democratic parry was showed under
by greenbacks." This is not the unsup
ported guess of an opposing partisan it is
the open boast of the principal conspira
tor. 1t is not a piece of startling news,
for the vice president.elect made an almost
equally candid avowal at tho Dorsey ban-
quet in New York after the election ; but
it completes the certainty that as the
"visiting statesmen" stole the presidency
in 1876, so the bribing statesmen stole it
i'm 1880.

Blind PartfSanSIliO.

Senator Lee belonged to the 50 called
Independent wing of the Republican
party, and he probably is as independent
in fact as any of the faction. Their pro
clamation was that they were independ
ent of party dictatiOE and were deter
mined to follow their ideas of right. No
doubt they meant what they said, and
nodoubt they still follow their ideas of
right, although now they lead them into
close affiliation with the Republican
party while lately they drew them into
rebellion against it. The independent
senators think it right now to vote for
an apportionment bill which gives the
Democrats nine congressman and the
Republicans nineteen, although the
Democratic and Republican vote in
Pennsylvania is nearly even and the vote
of the state in Congress should therefore
also be nearly even politically. 1t re-
quires no demonstration to prove that
Pennsylvania can only be fairly appor
toned into congressional districts when
its political sentiments are represented
in Congress according to the strength
with which each is sustained among the
people. The Independent Republican
senator's, having come into harmony
with their party, are now unable to
see that the Republican party should not
take all the congressional districts that
it can get. Senator Lee confesses that
he would have been inclined to grab a
little more moderately than his party as
sociates, but that he conceived it to be
his duty to surrender something of his
idea of right to theirs now that Repub.
lican harmony is again restored. He
insists, however, that he does not con-
sent to much of gerrymander since
it would not be possible to district the
state into contiguous districts of proper
size, SO as to give the Democrats their
due share of representation in Congress.
Evidently Senator Lee has not tried
very hard to accomplish this feat. He
has not tried rs hard as he would have
but for the restoration of Republican
harmony. That has paralyzed his acute
ness of observation. II IS truly remark
able how an independent man may be
blinded by his devotion to party har-
mOny. 1t would not take Democrat
any time at all to carve out majority
of very respectable Democratic con-
gressional districts in the state; and if
Senator Lee will say that he will vote
for an apportionment giving the Demo
Gratis thirteen congressman and the
Republicans fifteen, which he seems to
concede would be fair distribution il
the districts as can be well made, there
will be no difficulty in showing him how
to do it. The fact is, however, that the
Independent desire for fairness in appor.
tionment has been altogether smothered

president some day. "It'll be cold day
when he is" the boy replied with
promptness. "He hasn't spent cent

BRUTAL CRIME.

A Young Woman Assaulted IN Washington.
About eight o'clock Tuesday morning a
white man gained admission to the house
of a family named Spein, near the capitol,
Washington, D. c., on the declaration
that he was water inspector, and bru.
tally assaulted a young woman, who was
the only person in the house at the time.
Under law passed by the last Congress
officials called water inspectors were
authorized to enter the houses Of citizens
for the purpose of inspecting the water
fittings. baths, closets, &C., to see if water
was wasted. There was some outcry at
the time about the license to invade domes-
tic privacy which the law gave, but it did
not prevent its enactment.

THERE ought not to be any difficulty
in reaching conclusion as to what
should be done in regard to the proposed
hospital for smallpox patients. 1t is the
place of the county to provide it. 1t has
suitable ground for it, isolated from pop
ulation. 1t needs to put up a cheap
wooden building, because it must be
built as quickly as possible and because
it will answer the purpose as well as
more substantial and costly structure.
At Wilmington a building was erected
for few hundred dollars, when that
town was infected with smallpox it has
now disappeared and the building has
been burned. The proposition to expend
five thousand dollars on hospital now
does not seem to be wise as many hun.

ROmANCE AT LONG BRANUH.
A Young Clerk Saves the Life OF st. Lou
Rolress

A Young Clerk Saves the Life OF a st. Louis
Reiress.
At Long Branch Miss Millicent Coombs,
of st. Louis, went in bathing and was in
danger of drowning, when q railroad clerk,
who was good swimmer, rescued her.
Miss Coombs is beautiful orphan, with
500, 600 of her own and arrived q few
days ago from her home accompanied by
her aunt and two lady companions and a
male cousin. She is an adventurous girl
and struck out boldly, but when little
way from shore some object that she took
for huge fish touched her, and as shark
had been caught during the day, she lost
her presence of mind.
Her screams attracted attention on shore
and the life boat was quickly launched,
but it would never have saved her had not
help been nearer at hand. Bathing at the
time Miss Coombs began to cry for help
was Mr.. Willie H. Whittlesey, who was
about 200 feet from her shouting to her
to akeep cool. He soon reached her side,
told her to place her arm around his neck
and have courage, as the boat would soon
reach them. The plucky girl did as bid
den, and they were soon taken into the
boat. Miss Coombs then swooued, but by
the time the shore was reached she had
recovered her consciousness.
They were received with q shout from
the crowd, and Miss Coombs' cousin
pressed roll of bills into Whittlesey's
hand. The gallant young fellow, how
ever, handed it back, saying that no had
only done his duty: BY great persuasion
on the part of Miss CoOmbs he agreed
to accept as q gift gold watch and
chain, which she said she herself
would purchase and givs to the man
who saved her life. Mr.. Whittlesey,
who is not 81 years old, is engaged to bs
married to an estimable young lady who
resides near his home at Iowa City, and
tho impulsive little heiress made him
promise to permit her to act as::bridesmaid
on the occasion of his marriage. Whit
tlesey is a clerk In railroad Office in Iowa
City, and a handsome young fellow, and
whom married there is DO doubt but that
Miss Coombs will see that he starts on
life's journey with something more cub
stantial than clerks pittance.
