Here are some figures which the In
dianepOlis NeiCS, which is independent in
politics, wishes the American working
men to paste in their hats: By the cen
sus returns, it is shown that the following
were the wages paid in 1880 by the highly
protected American manufacturers to
their workmen: Average annual pro-
tected wages in manufacturers, 1916; av-
erage pay of wooden employees, 1898; aver
age pay of cotton employees, $240; average
pay of silk employees, 1898; average pay
of wire employees, $500; average pay of
knit-goods employees, $232. AS there are
800 days in the year in which the work
ingman must live, he can divide the
amount of the average yearly pay by 800,
and see Just what was the average for
each day Of the year round, which he had
to live on. 1t experiment to add that the
Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics
shows that while, since 1860, wages
have advanced 81 2-10 per cent, the cost
of living has advanced Al $40 per cent.

some idea of the way the tariff rakes
the money out Ofthe pockets of the people
NAV be formed from the fact that at the
Dort Of New York the customs collections
average more than $500,OOO a day for every
working day in the year. This is the tax
for revenue only. The tax for protection
is several times heavier, but it goes into
the pockets of the monOpolists instead Of
the public treasury.

1t i estimated that the cotton crop of
1881 Welded 5,2J0,O00 tons of seed. The
oil men now pay $12 ton for seed deliv-
cred at a railroad station or river landing,
which would make the seed crop worth
$S9. 600, 0O0 Deducting 30 per cent. of the
seed for planting purposes, the remainder
would bring Si9,5O0,000 in the market.
Only 10 per cent. of the entire seed crop is

The other day Mr.. Jay Gould was
handed a comic paper containing very
ridiculous picture of himself. He was in

only result was loud laugh, in which all

lyn over an actors impersOnatiOn on the
stage of DIR. Dewitt Talmage indicates,
however, that the good humOr of public
men Will not extend to the animated carl
catures made in places of amusement. 1t
is beyond our philosophy to explain why
a man who is accustomed to see himself
villainOusly distorted in public prints
should object to see himself artistically
caricatured in the flesh. But he does, and
we dare say Mr.. Gould would object as
strenuously as have Mr.. Talmage's

The Pennsylvania Senate has passed
without opposition a bill providing for a
voluntary trade tribunal, and the House
is expected to concur in this action. Origi-
nally the bill applied only to the coal,
iron. and steel trades. As amended, the
glass and textile fabric industries are in
cluded in the provisions of the measure.
Five employers or twenty-five wOrkmen
petitiOning, the Court of Common Pleas is
to issue a license for these tribunals
which are to arbitrate between employers
and those who work for them. The dispu-
tants will choose the members of this
board of arbitration, and mutually de-
eide upon an umpire, who is to act
in case the tribunal cannot agree upon a
finding. Where the price of labor is at
stake the award of the tribunal is binding
only when the employers or wOrkmen ac-
quiesce in the result. Other awards of
the umpire, if confirmed by the Judge
having jurisdiction, may be enforced by
the court. The wages question, if not
determined, is put in a fair way of settle
ment by this eXpedient. Though strikes
may continue, it is highly probable
that they will be fewer and shorter after
these tribunals are established, as is re-
ported to be the case in Great Britain.

The biennial report Of the California
schools is not altogether satisfactory, be-
cause it shows that a considerable per-
centage of children of a school age are not
i'll the classroom. The increase in attend
ance in the years 1SS1-S2 was somewhat
less than the increase in the number of
children of school age. In 1880 the av-
erage attendance of California children
was less than fifty per cent, while in
the same year the percentage in
Massachusetts was over seyenty-siX.
The superintendent, however. asserts
that the number of nOn-attending children
in 1SS1-S2 was smaller than in the nine
previous years. Last year the children
between five and seventeen numbered two
hundred and sixteen thousand. There
were one hundred and sixteen thousand in
public schools, fourteen thousand in pri-
yate institutions, and between fOrty-nine
and fifty thousand belonging to no school.
The cost of schools is prOpOrtiOnally
greater in San Francisco than in the rest
of the State.

Execution of a COIored Woman.
 RICHMOND, Sept. 14.-Barbara Miller, a colored woman, was hanged here to-day for complicity in the murder of her husband in February last Charles Henry Lee, her &C., complice, was hanged on the Sd of last month. The execution to-day took place in the jail yard, and was witnessed by about one hundred people. The drop fell at twelve minutes past F o'clock. She died froa strangulation. Several thousand persons were in the vicinity of the jail. Everything was orderly.
 The crime which Barbara expiated wa s particularly atrocious. Although 8 wife and the mother of six children, she became crim- inally intimate with young negro named Lee, who lived in the same house with the family, and who gave his earn ings for their support, Daniel Miller, her husband, living in laziness, and enjoying the fruits of his wife's inidelity. The guilty pair decided to get rid of Miller. So one night he was brained with an axe, and his body was then taken to the railroad track near by and laid on the rails, where it was discovered the next morning, horribly mu- tilated, several trains having run over it. Suspicious of foul play was soon aroused, and Barbara and Lee were arrested. After few days confinement the woman made a confession that the killing had been done by Lee, and that he had carried the body to the railroad track to avert suspicion. Lee confessed that she melted him to commit she murder, but struck the fatal blow herself.

The Mystic Pageant-A Brilliant End-
 ing Of the OrIOle Festivities.
 BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-The great feature of the programme for the second day of the OrioIe was the procession of the Mystic pageant which occurred this evening. It started from Laurons street and Eutaw Place, and .traversed some of the more inn portant streets. It was reviewed at City Hall by Mayor Whyte, and dismissed at the Academy of Music. The first division com- prised twenty beautiful floats, Illustrating s'The Lost Continent, and was an imagina- tive picture of the customs and habits of the Atalanteans. The second division contained seventeen floats, illustrating the ''Lost Kingdom" showing the causes which led to the downfall of Spain and the stirring scenes attending the conquest of Spain by the Arabs and also of the events which finally culminat- ed in the reconquest of that country by the Spaniards. The pageant was headed by Lord Baltimore's car which represented a scene on the Chesapeake Bay. The streets were 8 blaze of electric and calcium lights and were so densely packed with people that one could scarcely move. Strangers say that the pleasure alone of having witnessed the erandest. and most beautiful pageant they ever saw amply repays them for the long distances they travelled to join in the festivities. The Oriole takes her flight for another year with the close of a grand ball which is now in progress at the Academy of Music.

Ffghti0g in TOnqutn-SeriOus Engage
 ment Between the French and the
 Black FIags-Victory of the French
 Troops.
 LONDON, Sept 14-News has been receiv- ed by Reuters Telegram company from Hong Kong, dated to-day, that battle has taken place between the French forces and the Black Flags, lasting eight hours. The engagement took place between Ha-Noi and Sontay, near the Red river. The French forces are reported as having lost two off cers and fifty men. The loss of the Black Flags is estimated at between 500 and 600 men. Ha-Noi is the town where the French have been holding their garrison since the previous engagement at Sontay, awaiting re- Inducements. It is probable, from the tenor of this dispatch, that the Black Flags, whose hesdouarters are at Bac -Minh, to the north east of Ha-Noi, determined to recapture Son tay from the French, who have kept gun boats there the last fortnight, and while en route from Bac-Minh across the delta were met by French force sent from Ha-Noi to intercept them, the above battle being the result.
 French accounts of the battle say that on Saturday, the first of September, the French forces from Ha-Noi advanced to within twelve miles of Sontay, where the enemy was found in cssemate forts, upon which the fire of the French had no effect. After three days hard fighting the French troops, aided by 8 heavy fire from the fleet under Admiral Bouet, car ried the enemy's works at the point of the bayonet, capturing two towns and two Black Flag standards. The French loss was two officers and fourteen men killed, and three officers and forty men wounded. After the victory Admiral Bouet withdrew his fleet to Ha-Noi to await achievements, leav- ing three hundred men to hold the captured towns.
 The French naval force at Tonquin, under Admiral Bouet, comprises the ironclads Bay ard, of four guns; the Atlante, of twelve guns [; the Triomphante, of eight guns the cruisers Trouville and Cha teau Renaud; the transports Anoamite and Myttio, each carrying two guns; the gum boats Lynx and Vipere, each carrying four guns; and the Fanfare, the Leopard and the Surprise, each carrying two guns. There are four sloops, carrying an aggregate of seven guns, and four despatch boats carry an aggregate of fourteen guns. Two torpedo auncIies are also attached to the fl eet.
