Mr.. Henry G. Robinson, of Hartford
Conn, in lecture recently delivered,
alluded 10 visit he made to one of the
smaller factories in Connecticut, whose
owner boasted that in the year precel-
ing he had ~made" so, 900. Going
through tho factory, when hc got away
up under the roof he found bohhins
tended by chil,lren-bovs of from s to
L. years, Their faces were colorless.
The man who "made" $4,000 told Mr..
Robinson that these little boys were
earning Is cents day, and that they
worked ten hours day, with twenty
minutes rest Mt noon. That Conn.cti-
cut manufacturer, Ivy the recital OF his
methods Of making money, stamped
himself all over vile creatare-a heart
less, exacting, mercenary man deserving
of execration. In minute he mapped
out III lines as vivid rs lightning the
processes by which thousands of men
in New England are amassing prineely
fortunes, while they are subjeeting
poor boys. mere children, to a seryi-
tude ms grinding and degrading rs ever
cursed any land. A boy working ten
hours q day for one and half
cents an hour-fifteen cents n day
Such ontrages are well calculated to
produce reyolts in all the industrial cs-
tahlishments Of the country where
they are praeticed. Mr.. Robinson
ought to have given the name of the
a,aricions manufacturer to the public
so that all honorable men everywhere
could shower upon him their unuttera-
bile loathings. Quite likely the Com
nectieut manufacturer who makes So,
900 year by hiring boys at fifteen
cents a day-ninety cents weeks
one Of the protected gentlemen for
whom Congress legislates. Quite likely
he pleads that the greatest benefits oi
protection accrue to the working peo'
pie, and TINT, therefore, he is a protec.
ZIONIST. Eventually the people vii
comprehend the situation, and then tlis
working people Of the United States
will receive their fair share of ths
wealth they create. - Detroit Free

permanency of the location and Its geo.
graphical situation would have a bearing
upon the necessity of division. But the
removal will be effected and the build
lngs erected not only without cost to the
public but will leave probably a hand
some surplus in the treasury besides. The
west needs more representation in ma.
tional legislation and 1t is folly to give
away two representatives in the United
States senate 70. the empty pride of be-
ing powcrless empire of territory and
people of ourselves, on an equal footing
in the senate of the national Legislature
with Rhode Island which is less than two
thirds as large as Stutsman county
alone. The argument of econ
omy IN expense Of state government,
urged by some Of the opponents of divis-
ion, is the veriest sophistry. It looks
plausible upon its face but upon investi.
cation will be found without single
element of soundness. The salaries of
the officials are but small item of the
expense of state government, and as
the other expenses are the same whether
a given territory is under one or several
different state governments the argu-
ment on this score is Of the most incon-
siderable force, unworthy of considera-
ton for moment.

THE recent violent demonstration by
women in the strike trouble at Collins
vile, III /, was an ar omaly in that line Of
riotous sensations. They seemed not
only to aid and abet their husbands but to
take the lead in aggression and intimida-
ting threats, accompanying them with
sucn menances as left no doubt that they
meant business. They seem not to have
been armed with brooms and hoes, the
proverbial weapons of woman, but
with the more formidable bulldozing
weapon. the butcher knife and torch. 1t
would seem that We have fallen on evil
times, that the inspiration of the poets
that have painted woman as can angel
minus wings" was Of the ideal and not
the real woman after all. We have read
that "hell hath no furies like woman
scorned," but their taking the lead in a
mob of this character is a new departure.
They sometimes with prayers and songs
make raid onsa saloon, and with con-
siderable exhibition of vengeance clean
out shebang against the inmates Of
which they have real or supposed grievan-
ces, but when they sally forth TO inter-
fcre with the peaceful labor of miners, as
in the case referred to, it would seem to
call for the revision of great deal of
poetry, or that it be supplemented with a
few stanzas of cxceptions-but who
would dare to write the exceptions

The panic on Brooklyn bridge, re-
ported in the dispatches yesterday morn
ing, shows that excited human beings are
about IS untractable, unreasonable and
unfeelipg as stampeded herd Of cattle
or other animals. There seems to have
been no visible cause for the stampede of
the people, and no danger threatening
them until they made it themselves.
When the manager inquired only i've
minutes before everything was moving
along quietly. It was vast multitude
of people each carefully avoiding jostling
or hurting each other, but in = moment
almost transformed by excitement into
wild beasts, trampllng each other to
death under foot of the surging mass
without regard to age or sex. Women
and children were trodden under foot
with deaf ear to their cries of pain and
distress. The effort of each to save him.
self rendered him oblivlous to the distress
of every one else. While no harm was
intended towards another no savage ven
geance was ever more remorseless in in
ficting pain and death IN Wholesale
manner. Itwss practical illustration
of the fact that the superior mind of the
human being Is his only superiority over
the cattle he drives from place to place,
and that when his mind is dethroned by
excitement or other cause he at once
drops to the level of other brute creation.

From tho Cyclone Belt.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 3O.-The news of a
very destructive tornado having passed
over the counties of Clay. Owen, John
son and Shelby Monday evening was not
received sooner on account of the smaller
towns which suffered most having no
telegraphic communication. AT Clay
City, town in the southern part Of
Clay county, the tank building of Thomp.
son s. Wittso was unroofed and also
Burgess wareroom destroyed besides
other smaller buildings. The storm
passed over part of the town and de-
stroyed John Crafts farmhouse, demolish.
ing it and killing five inmates, Mrs.
Crafts and child, Mrs. Williamson and
child, and young man named p. Fisher
who stopped to take refuge. A heavy
rain and hail accompanied the wind.
At Patrlcksburg, Owen county, the path
of the cyclone was nile wide and great
havoc was made in the town. Two saw
mills were destroyed besides a dozen
houses, large Touring mill was unroof-
ed. Goats & Sma!tz's store was badly
wrecked and the proprietors badly IN
jured. The houses Of DR.. Richards and
DR.. Stone and the Christian church was
all damaged greatly. The Flat Rock
valley in Shelby county suffered from
high winds destroying timber, orchards,
fences and houses rendering many roads
impossible. The loss is many thousand
dollars.

THE removal and re.locat ion of the
capital of Dakota territory will have no
valid influence or bearing upon the ques-
ton Of division, as it should not. If
there ever was . sound reason for the
division of th' territory that reason remains
in full force and effect now. A reason
that would disappear through q contin-
gency likely to occur at any time and
certain to come sometime, such rs .
change in the location Of the capital,
never had any tenable foundation.
Merely because the capital was situated
on the southern boundary was no argv-

be shown that the capital was imm9vable.

last years scale of $3.50 per ton for pud-

information that no western mills had

The Republican Explains.

The following in the Fargo Republican
Is the explanation it gives of the special
report furnished 1t by its reporter of the
bid of jamestown for the capital on the
occasion Of tho visit Of ths capital COM
mission and party here last Saturday. We
are little curious to know what "pron,-
inent Jamestown men who understand
the situation much better than the Alert. -
gave the reporter of the Republican the
information that ga portion of the land
Is still in the governments name, ''and we
presume our citizens would 10 equally in
terested to know. Here IS what the Re-
publican says about it:
The jam estown Alert in its issue Of the
18th finds fault with the reports Of the
proceedings at jamestown as published
attributes malice and prejudice TO the
senders. So far as the Rcpnblican's e
special is concerned he Information con-
tanned therein was gi zen to its representa-
tor by prominent Jamestown men who
understand the situation much better
than the Alert man seems to, and whose
names can be furnished If necessary. If
they purposely misled the reporter the
fault is theirs if anyones. There was
certainly no purpose on the part of the
Republican representative who had no
fish to fry or favors to ask of the conf
mission but gave the news as he got it.
and If the Alert man wants the source of
his information he can have it. He is at
liberty to publish any names connected
with the Republican that plcases HIM. In
regard to the Pioneer Press report, we
know nothing of it, but apprehend that
no disparagement was intended to James,
town or Jamestown men. Certainly moth
ing of the sort was intended or implied by
the Republican report.

Women on the warpath.

ST. LOUIS, May 2s-Information from
the mining district IN st. Clair Co. Ills,
is that work was to resume to-day at
Rosehill mine near West Collinsville,
but when the men were about to COM
mence at five o'clock band Of $50 wo-
men, wives and daughters OF strikers,
marching two abreast and armed with
stout clubs appeared on the scene, and
after some alteration they compelled the
men to desist and work was not started.
Sherlff's posse was driven back by women
and latter is now IN possession of mine.
Detachment of militia are now in East
st. Louis, and detachment will be sent to
| ROsehill to restore order and protect men
who desire to work.
| After completing their work at Rose
hill and leaving guard there to see that
the mandate was carried out, marched 10
Remicks mine No. l, three miles from
Bellevil]e and being reinforced by a large
number of strikers drove out men work
ing there. II is reported they tore up the
railroad switch and threatened to burn
the surface work of the mines, but of this
nothing definite is known. The mob at
this point is said to be increasing rapidly
and now number several hundred, includ.
ing about one hundred women, who are
are beyond, control of the civil authori-
ties. The sheriff has telegraphed for
military aid and 1t is understood here that
some of the militia at East St Louis will
be sent out as soon as a special train can
be made up. 1t is not known that any
actual violence has been done by the
women but 1t is known the work in the
mine was stopped and some very ugly
threats made regarding the consequence
of any attempt to resume. At Marrissa,
fifteen miles beyond Belleville, crowd
of miners appeared in the morning and
demanded that work should cease The
deputy sheriff who was present with the
civil posse told them that any interfer-
ence on their part with the working of
the mine would simply result in bringing
out a military force who would arrest all
disturbers and advised them to retire.
This they considered good and withdrew
leaving the mine in peaceable possession
of the men who were working it.

Rolling Nills Kicksrs.

CINCINNATI, May 3o-Rolling mill op
eratiyes to-day presented the proprietors
Of all the mills of this district new
scale of prices, being that of June 1881,
an advance of fifty per cent. per ton on
mills using ore. In every instance the
scale was rejected, mill owners claiming
that operatives are bound by contract
made in 1881 to not present scale Of
prices but continue at the same scale in
force IN June 1881, until scale was agreed
to. No probability of the owners rece-
ding.
