Manufacturers Bullying.

The manufacturers are making desperate
efforts to frighten and bully their employees
into voting the Republican ticket. The
workmen are well informed, however, and
cannot be frightened. The manufacturers
have in several instances reduced the run
ming time in the mills, and threaten to
close entirely if Cleveland should be elected.
These arguments are used more extensive
ly than ever before. But the letter OF Mr..
Gordon W. Burnham, published few days
ago, will have great influence on all intel
Hgent voters, for he owns large interest in
Waterbury manufactures than any other
man in the city, and his judgment is regard
ed with more confidence than that Of any
other manufacturer That he, lifelong
Republican, should come out for Cleveland
is a "stunner" on his brother manufacturers
and the hard pressed Republican leaders.
Lately they are having their hands full try
ing to explain why the recent strikes have
occurred all over the country.

Sued ON a Matrimonial Policy.

A case growing out Of the matrimonial
insurance associations is now on the way
to the State Supreme Court OF Georgia.
When the craze for policies was at its
height, Messrs. A. c. Chancellor and
Peter Ludwick heard that j. G. Miller, an
employe Of the Mobile and Girard rail-
road, was about to get married. They
besOught his consent to take a policy,
which he gave, on condition OF sharing in
the profits. A death in Mller's family.
however, caused hims Ito postpone his in
tended marriage on account OF lack Of
funds. Chancellor and Ludwick insisted
on the marriage in order to save the
policy, and advanced Miller 800, taking a
note for the same against the policy. Be-
fore the note matured the associations all
failed. When called on to pay the note
Miller declined on the ground that he had
received no benefit from the policy
Chancellor and Ludwick then garnisheed
Miller's wages, but the court held that
Miller being day laborer within the
meaning OF the law, his wages could not
be garnisheed for such purpose. The
case has been carried to the Supreme
Court.

any conclusion. The auditors report
shows that the books OF the concern have

defaulter to the extent Of at least S5O0,000.
Some Of the directors are charged with
getting loans, which is contrary to the
charter OF the company. "A resolution to
have full investigation into the affairs of
the company and valuation of its assets
made was discussed. A committee was

mands upon the directors for full informa-
ton regarding the standing OF the compa-

concerns. A number OF officials made
their losses known to the corpo-

THEY DEMAND THAT CONGRESS PAY TIE RE-
BATE MONEY DUE THEM.
philadelphia Press.I
"Whdt we want is the money!" said
President Barlberger, at meeting OF the
members OF the Philadelphia Tobacco
Board Of Trade. held last night in the
Board OF Trade rooms, in the Mercantile
Library, to take action concerning the re-
bate on stock. authorized by the last Con-
gress on March 3. 1883, but which, so far
as the dealers are concerned, has never
been paid. The presidents sentiment
was concurred i'm by all the tobacco
men present, and q series OF reso-
Iutions were adopted and ordered sent to
the Pennsylvania Senators and Represen-
tatiyes, and to the Committees on Ways
and Means. Appropriations, and
Finance, stating that the act of Congress
authorizing a rebate OF taxes on all to-
baccos, cigars. cigarettes. and snuff in
original and unbroken packages has as yet
not been complied with, and that the to-
bacco-dealers OF Philadelphia urgently re-
quest that the money due the dealers
throughout the country be at once pro-
vided for and distributed.
At the time OF the passage of the act
the tax on cigars was S6 per thousand,
and on tobacco 10 cents per pound. This
was reduced 80 per cent. in each case.
Manufacturers and dealers made applica-
ton for the rebate within the required
time, sixty days, but through some techni-
cality in the law only the manufacturers
were given the rebate. They were paid in
revenue stamps.
The claims from the dealers numbered
4G,013, and amounted to S3,5SS.337 OF
these 1888, amounting to 1885, 590.2S,
have been approved by the Government,
and the others either rejected or returned
for amendment. The claims from Phila-
delphia dealers aggregate $4,000. Deal
ers all over the country are clam0ring for
the benefits of the rebate, but they will
make request for the money, and not the
stamps. After the resolutions calling for
the payment OF the money have been laid
before Congress committee will probably
