 cOttfng schemes
 The Norwalk matters in their lockout are gradually working their way to better po- sition. A silver lining is beginning to ap- pear behind the cloud. A cooperative asso- citation has been formed. They call it the Consolidated Hating company. Enough shares have been paid to enable the new company to purchase land on South Main street, where the building of shop will be begun at once. A prominent boss mason has subscribed $50 and offered the services of his gang of men for fortnight. This shop, which will be finished in time for the spring trade, will give work to several hundred of the idle matters. Volk's shop, which has included only the making" depart ment, will put in trimming, finishing and curling rooms, and MT. Volks has noti- fed the trimmers, fnishers, etc., of the as- sociation that he will give as many of them employment as his orders will allow. The
 Trobridge shop, which was formerly in the borough, has moved to South Norwalk and will also employ large number of the asso-
 citation. During the last two weeks Crofut & Knapp have lost an order of $5, 900 from New York, and yesterday they lost large order from California. In shop No. 2 they
 are endeavoring to get their sample hats out
 for the next trade, but the ex-conviets
 who learned their trades in prison, are not the most finished of workmen. Mrs
 Goodwin, who has been boarding these men,
 was ''boycotted" by the groeerymen and thus was compelled to give her boarders up. They now sleep and eat in the shop. Scofeld &
 Hoyt, dry goods, and Leonard & Son, coal
 merchants, have both been boycotted for re
 fusing to sell goods to the matters. The ma jority of the merchants are with the matters and the outlook is promising. No disturb | ances have occurred. On account of the Rev Mir. Gumbart taking very active part
 have withdrawn their cards from the Baptist church.

The Vincennes, Indiana, San re-
wives a speech which Mr.. Schuyler
.Colfax made on his return home to
Indiana from Philadelphia in the
year 1855. 1t is very appropriate
just at this time, as the Republicans
pretended a very warm feeling for
tie Irish and German votes. Here
it is:
+ X Some tell me that many
foreigners are intelligent. How, in
the name of Almighty God, can they
say it? Look at the Dutchman
smoking his pipe, and if You a see
a ray of intelligence in that dirty,
idiot-looking face of his, show it to
me. Lock at that drunken, bloated
Irishman, with his rotgut whisky
bottle III his pocket. and he drunk,
swearing, and reeling and show me
in tina. polluted face any spark of
morality, intellect or education. The
idea is perfectly absurd it is prepos
ferrous! We must change the laws of
the land, and prevent these ignorant
degraded paupers here from voting
and holding office. They are a set of
unprincipled villains and Srufians,
who congregate in and around u
large cities and villages, and live
by stealing and begging from the
Americans. Some tells me they lave
rights. So they have; the rights to
live under our laws and till the soil,
and do rs we did. they are inferior
in intellect and intelligence to the
Americans and they must and shall
be put down and kept down, if it has
to be done at the point of the bayo
net and with powder and Lead
There is no use talking mincingly,
or of fearing results in regard to the
matter. A great cry has went up by
old liners about the foreigner being
driven away from the polls, and not
being allowed to vote. This I sup
pose is true in many respects. Would
you have the American , itizens
stand back, and let a bloated, red
visaged, drunken brute Of an Irish
man vote instead of HIMSELF See
the wretch as he approaches, his
knees knocking, and the slobl,er of
tobacco running down his jaws, and
as he comes you hear him ''hurrah
for Democracy" and here he comes
fresh from the boys, just one year
ago, and wants to vote-and because
the boys cry remove him." and
he gets knocked down for his i'm
prudence, a great cry is NADIA about
it by old line demagogues. l say it
is right-let them stand back. Again :
You see q lop cared, wide m%outhed,
mullet headed Dutchman coming up
just from some hut in the land of
Kraut, with the foam of beer still
sticking in his horse tail whiskers,
and his breath Of garlic and onions,
enough TO kill a white man at three
hundred yards. and before he can
say anything in the world7bu Dem
ocrat" he must vote, and that vote
counts as much as yours or mine.
This is outrageous and abominable.
These foreigners that have carried
elections for old liners will have to
learn their places. They have no
more right to vote than the brutes of
the field, and have not the sense of a
good Newfoundland dog; and God
knows that were l q candidate for
any office. l would tell these paupers
anil vagabonds, these vile, dirty,
filthy, degraded, idiotic foreigners,

ever am a candidate, l hope to God
I never will get them"

quishes in our Jail, awaiting trial for

dealt with according to law. Our
motto is, s'hew to the line and let tie
chips fall where they may" and let
no guilty man escape regardless of
color or politics. While we do not
doubt that both parties may attempt
fraud in some instances, it is a fact
of no little insigniicance that nearly
all those who are arrested and con-
victed turn out to be Democrats.

is that the Democrats do the fraud

is an exceptional.-Register.

(Albany N. Y. Times

(AlDany N. 1.Ilnles.J
The workingmen of this country
must be careful that they are not de
ceived again as they were in 1850
Every wage.worker will admit that
business all over the country is stag
nant at the present time. Wages are
low, and are still on the decline.
Rents remain the same. In some
cities they are higher. AS in 1880,
the rich grew richer, the poor grew
poorer. Republican promises have
not been redeemed. The necessities
of life are far above in price what
they should be. There is a DISPOSE
ton on the part of wealth to demean
labor to such a figure as to render
life not worth living for. In the
streets of Albany, hundreds of
men may be seen who were proitably
employed in 1880. In Troy, three
thousand or four thousand men r
idle. Our large industries here are
running with reduced help. Many
are closed entirely. This is the state
of affairs all over the country. In
Ohio and Pennsylvania, there is such
stagnation as to excite the alarm of
the people whether starvation is not
at hand. For m illustration we ap
pend a chapter of facts to show the
truth of our statement. Working
men for their own interests should
ponder and reflect:
