The Eighi Over lhalmarA,

The committee on elections III Con-
gress are now considering one of the
most unblushing election frauds that
ever took place. Naturally, it is Il
Mississippi case, that State taking
the cake when election tarccs
are needed for reference. The election
committee is composed Of fifteen mem
bers, Of which nine are Democrats and
six are Republicans The case is very
clear so far as the votes we're cast, and
even as they were counted in favor Of
Mr.. Chalmers, a so-called independent
Republican, as against Mr.. Manning,
the Bourbon Democratic candidate.
But some nincompoop ola clerk in
one of the courts Of a county that gave
Mr.. Chalmers very large majority,
made out TO fall into the popular error
of spelling the names Of Republicans
wrong, and when the certificate was
issued it was for J. Il. Chandler or
ChaInbliss or some such name, but not
for Chalmers. The Bourbon Governor
of Mississippi seized upon tins error
as an excuse for throwing out the vote
OF the county, and gave the certificate
to Mr.. Manning.
The thing was so preposterously alb
surd and disclosed such evident intent
to cheat Mr.. Chalmers out Of the seat
in Congress to which he had been
elected that Mr.. Manning, fond as he
was Of being in Congress, did not claim
his seat under it. Nevertheless, the
committee have made out to divide up-
on the merits Of such plain case, and
have decided by a vote Of ten to five
that while Mr.. Manning had no right
to the seat, neither had Mr. Chalmers
1t is believed that when the contest
comes fully before the House that Man
ming will have to 90, and that Chal-
mers will be admitted.
We are no admirer Of Chalmers, for
we do not think he would hesitate to
go to any extent to get a seat il Com
gress, no matter by what means he got
it, but it does seem a little hard that for
the first time he WAS ever honestly
elected to Congress he should be denied
his seat

An Interestinx Talk,

The Young Peoples association of
st. Pauls church held their week y
meeting last evening in the Sunday
school room Of the church. In addi-
tiOn to the opening exercises and the
singing of several selections, an inter-
esiing address was delivered by Mrs.
DR.. keables. She took for her subject
Lite in India" and stated that her
father being sea captain, she accom-
panied him on his voyage around the
world, which gave her ample oppor-
tunity Of observing the life and habits
Of the BrahIuins and HindoOs, while
in their country. Sic gave a graphic
description Of th'r manners and Gus
toms, especially th9r custom of crema-
ting I he dead, OF vii IA she had on sew
eral occasions been al eyewitness. A
description of their marriage ceremony
was very amusing, particularly to the
young people. During her address she
spoke Of meeting the late Admiral Du-
Pont in that country while on her trip.
The audience were well pleased with
the address, the only fault being that
it was entirely too short.

Ths Low Wages TSsuhIe.

The truth is beginning tn come 0ut
now about the pauper labor business
reported amongst the mines In Schuyl-
kill County. 1t was reported that
miners were compelled to work for 65
cents a day, and this has been seized
upon as a text for all the free trade pa.
pers in the country to preach sermons
against protection, the theme being tha,
protection does not protect. The Phila-
delphia Press, in order to get at the
bottom facts, sent a reporter up amongst
the mines to make personal observa-
tions and see why wages were 40 low In
that particular locality.
The Press representative reports that
there are some poor diggers reduced to
the alternative of working for sixty
cents day or remaining idle. At the
same time the current rate for wages in
that locality when there isa demand
for ore and prices are higher, is a dollar
and fifty cents per day, and there are
some masters who refuse to pay less
than ninety cents day. Even these
wages are low, but they are double the
wages Of Spanish miners and compare
very favorably with the wages of labor
ers in South Wales who only get 4s
cents day.
Pursuing the comparison further, 1t
was found that theabsolute cost of labor
in getting out and washing ton of ore
is from LOO to $l.5O, and yet this ore
is selling as low AZ s22 per ton. With
the present duty of IS cents per ton, the
protection is thirty three per cent. This
would make the price of labor there
thirty-three per cent. higher than the
average price paid for foreign labor, 80
the poor digger would thus under the
present peculiarly distressing condition
of the industry, receive but 40 cents in
stead of GO. Yet we find that iron ore
is one Of the things the revenue reform
ers won't put on the free list.
The degradation of labor in the min
ing regions was brought about by the
immigration of Hungarians, Polanders,
Spaniards and Welch, who are glad to
get work at sixty cents u day, and whose
manner of living is such that out of
that they send home sixty dollars al
year to their families. These men were
driven here by the pauper labor of Eu-
rope. 1t seems reasonable to suppose
that they would hardly have come here
to work at sixty cents if they could
do better at home This is the reason
why wages are low and work scarce
in the mining region. Instead of pro- |
lection being the cause Of it, the failure
toprotect labor in Europe is the cause.
If there is 10 be free-trade in the matter |
of iron ore and coal, wages will still be-
reduced down to what they are in Eu-
rope and then there will be as much in-
ducement to emigrate to that country as
for immigrants to come here. 1t will
be nothing but degradation and starva-
ton anyhow, and that can as we'll be |
borne i'll one country as another.

Miss Emily Faithful said that it was
our sham wealth, sham respectability
and sham religion which produce for
us such large annual crops Of breaches
of trusts and embezzlements. She re-
ferred to the terrible banking revela-
lions which have come upon us Of late
years. In considering the remedies
needed 20 reach the present state Of
things Miss Faithful spoke Of the re-
sponsibllity and power Of the press,

THE GOCD news comes from Cinci

THE GOCD news comes from tincin-
natl at last that the Ohio river is falling
after having reached the unparalleled
height Of seventy-one feet and three
fourths of an inch. The highest ever
before known was in 1892, when it
reached sixty-seven feet and last year
when it reached siXty-siX feet and six
inches. There necessarily must be
great destitution Of property along the
route Of the flood. Thousands of fami-
lies have lost all they had, and even
their homes have been washed out OF
sight by roaring foods. In this terri
bic calamity the benevolent heart Of
