Testimony as to the value of the repub-
lican policy to the laboring men OF this
country comes from an unexpected scource-
Naval Constructor Hichborn was sent by
the Naval Department to visit the princi-
pie dock yards of Europe. and has now
made an elaborate report. Therein he
bears testimony to the difference in rate OF
wages between this country and Europe.
Mr.. Hichborn says that in British private
yards "day wages seldom amount to more
than so to IS per cent of what the same
trades receive in the United States" But
in Government yards wages are better !;
the average is 80. 3d., or about so cents
per day. but picked and permanent hands
get S1.09 per day. Those who contrast
these wages with the wages paid in
similar occupations in this country will
realize how wide is the difference which
twenty-five years of republican policy has
made in the rewards of labor here and
elsewhere. For Great Britain pays better
than any other country except the United
States. The report as to France is most
disheartening. Labor in the dock-yards
gets about 80 cents per day; blacksmiths'
helpers get IS to As cents; second class
shipwrigbts get As to So cents; average
blacksmiths, filters and turner's get about
60 cents; very competent shipwrights or
smiths get 80 cents per day. These
wages are fully 80 per cent below those in
Great Britain, and. as Mr.. Hichborn says,
the British wages are from 80 to 40 per
cent below those of the United States.
This testimony comes from one of the
earliest official reports made to the new
Administration.

Snow IN SEprEnrREp AT Elizahnt,

Snow IN SEPTEMBER.-At Elizabeth
town the mountains are covered with
snow, but the valleys have escaped severe
frosts. The Catskills are also white With
snow, and the cold air blows over the
valley, suggesting Overcoats and muflers
A severe snow storm swept over Gallup
vile Wednesday, and a portion of A.
Zen's mill dam was washed away by high
water. In the vicinity of Valley Falls
the cold weather has damaged the buck
wheat crop and not half an average yield
will be realized. A terrible wind and
rain storm Thursday night, with alarming
thunder and lightning, produced the
heaviest sea on Lake Champlain of the
season; small boats, supposed secure,
were washed off the shore and dashed to
pieces. The steamer A. Williams, of the
Champlain Transportation Line, eE route
from Essex north in the morning, took
shelter under Clark's point, unable to
face the northeast seas. The Green
Mountains and foot hills within six miles
of the lake were white with snow all day,
and are still white, but little further from
the lake. The Adirondacks are also
white, and but for the change to south
wind and warmer this valley near Wills
borough would not have escaped frost,
which would have ruined much of the
corn, not per cent. Of which is yet cut.

COLOR BLINDNESS
a Disease More Prevalent Than Is Gener-

a Disease More Prevalent Than Is Gener-
ally Supposed.
Why should we look one common faith to
find
When one in evevy scoreis color blind?
If here oD earth they know not red from
green,
Will they see better into things unseen!
Allowing little for poetical license,
DR.. Holmes states very nearly the
truth when he says that one man out Of
every twenty is color blind. The aver
age is usually not quite so high as this,
although many scientists give it even
higher. 1t is safe to say that out Of
every hundred persons, from three to
five will be found afflicted with that de-
feet of vision called color blindness.
Many persons have a lingering sus-
picion that most of the diseases so
prevalent to-day, but unheard OF a few
years ago, owe their existence to the
inventive faculties of physicians who
are supposed to spend as much time in
discovering new ailments as they do in
seeking remedies for the old. There Is
nothing people in general are so much
afraid of as a new disease or an old one
with a new name. People attacked
with what our grandmothers used to-
call lung fever and think of little more
account than a case of measles, have
given up the ghost straightway when
told by the physician that they had
pneumonia. 1t was the name thar
killed them more than the disease. So
when scientists first told men that
color blindness was among them, thew
received as much gratitude as if they
had awakened destructive agent.
which before was dormant if not dead.
