Minneapolis Coopers.

The mills coming to a sudden stand
still has rather taken the stiffening out of
Minneapolis shops, and left the cooper
fraternity feeling decidedly blue. There
are few shops, however, but what have
more or less storage room, and as a
rule they will be operated moderately
until this is filled, provided the mills do not
start up again before it is accomplished. In
this way it will be possible to give the large
number Of coopers in the city some employ
ment right along; though with the amount
of work they are to have narrowed down to
small limits, added to the low wages previ-
ously prevailing, it is not hard to see that
they will often find it difficult to make both
ends meet. The most of the shops are now
using a large proportion of poles in hopping
material thus affording the men a little
more work. -Northwester Miller.

Hard on the MAllerS and COOPers.
One of the worst features of the stoppage
of the mills in Minneapolis is the large
number Of men it throws out of employ
ment. Light margins have enforced the
practice largely of laying off the operatives
as soon as a mill is closed down. and ON the
present occasion this is done to a larger de-
gree than usual. There is not known to be
an exception where the mills shutting down
have not temporarily dismissed almost their
entire crews. The idleness of the mills
two months last summer for improvements
to the canal entaled large loss Of time to
the operatives, and the present stoppage,
coming as it does at the opening of winter,
gives the future an unpleasant aspect for
them. Besides the workmen of the mills
very many others whose employment de-
pended on the operation of the mills are
also affected Northwestern Miller.

1t seems that the changes which
the administration is making in the
civil service is not displeasing to the
mugwumps after all. The following
from the New York Evening Post,
the foremost of the independent
republican journals which support
ed Cleveland and Hendricks, ex-
plains itself
THE captious republican critics of the Presi
dent do not appear to be able to realize that they
have very little popular sympathy on their side
There isno doubt whatever that vast majority
of the people OF all parties believe that the Pres
ideut is doing exceedingly well. They look at
the large general results of his course. and do
not worry themselves about trihing mistakes.
The persons who are continually carpiug over
these small blunders ARE the disappointed par
tisans who were sure of getting something II

at the idea of turning good republicans out OF

man of them knows that the post Offices of the

publican doctrines. Not II democrat has had Il
ghost of chance Of getting possession OF one

A FATAL CRASH.

Collapse OF Tenement Building In Jersey
City-Four Children Killed by the FALL
Ing Debris and Eight Others Badly In
Jured.
New YORK, May 2s.-A three-story
frame tenement on Colgate street. Jersey
City, fell yesterday morning at $50 O'Clock,
killing three children Of James Anderson,
the owner, and Michael Webb, aged seven
teen years. Eleven people were more or
families, made up of twenty-seven
persons, occupied the building. James
Anderson had the first floor, where he
lived with his wife and five children, three
of whom-B Barney, aged nine years; Nellie,
aged seven, and Mary, aged eight months
were smotheTed in their beds by the wreck.
The second floor front was occupied by Hugh
Ginty, wife and two children who all escaped
unhurt, but the Webb family in the rear
of the same floor was carried down with
the walls, and Michael was mangled so that
he died within ten minutes after being ex-
tricated The eleven people injured were
all jewellers on the upper floor. The build
ing had been condemned by its owner some
months since, and yesterday was set as the
time for repairs to be made. 1t was put up
seventeen years ago OH swamp land with
out the usual piling foundation for such
land. The cellar had been full Of water for
years and the wooden sills had been rotting
for long time, until one of them gave
away recently and let down one side OF the
building.
The scenes at the wreck were lamentable.
When the collapse occurred most OF the
tenants were stirring, but every child in the
building was In bed. A moment before the
collapse the building began to sway, first
inclinng 10 the broken sill side. Then it
gave sudden lurch, snapped, and,
swinging over to the other side, fiattened
out over the street and yard. A great
cloud of dust arose and with 1t came the
terrific shrieks of the little children so rude
ly awakened. Thousands Of men on their
way TO work in the railroad shops and
foundries in the vicinity responded to the
call for help and soon the police and fire
departments were on hand
Nellie Anderson was found in her bed
with a terrified look ON her dead face,
while clasped close in her arms was her
baby sister Mary, the latter smothered by a
large piece of plaster falling on her face.
Nellic's back was broken. On his knees,
holding to the side of the bed, with his
head buried In the Mattress was Barney
Anderson. A piece of timber had
fallen on his head, pressing his face
into the bed until he was Smothered.
The youth Michael Webb was found
in All upright position, partially
dressed, his head crushed by timbers. Five
children of Hugh Carlin were sleeping in
an old-fashioned, double-width, upright
post bed Oh the top floor. 1t was thought
they had perished but luckily their bed
had turned upside down and so effectually
shielded the children from the wreck that
not one of them received SO much as a
scratch. There are no building inspectors
In Jersey City, and the police say nobody is
to blame, and as Anderson has no property
save the wreck he can not be held for dam
ages.

CINCINNATI, o., May 27.-At the session
of the Presbyterian General Assembly Mon
day Rev. X. Ii. Allen, Secretary of the
Freedmen's Aid Society, made strong
speech following the presentation of the re-
port of that society. To illustrate his re-
marks he had hung Oh the wall back of the
platform map twenty feet long by
twelve feet wide, showing the ratio Of
black to white population in the
Southern States. 1t was very start
ling map, and, when explained by the
earnest speaker, made strong impression.
Here are few of his significant facts:
Twenty years ago. at the close OF the war,
there were in the Southern States 3.947, 600
colored people and now there are more
than 1000. 600. Then there were IN MiSsis-
sippi 220, 900 negroes, and now 650,0o
Then there were in Georgia 1874, 900 negroes,
now rs. O0o. Then there were in South
Carolina 100000, and now more than
600, 600. Five hundred colored babies are
born in the United States every day. The
colored population of the United States
doubles every twenty years; the white
population only once i'll thirty-five years
Eight years will not have passed before the
negroes will be in numerical majority in
some of the Southern States At the
present rate of increase, in 1885 there
will be W,O0O,O 600 white people in the
United States, and 1872 ,OO0, 900 colored peo-

Ed. III. Bintliff has sold his inter
est in the Darlington Republican to
his partner Mr.. ]. G. Monahan who
has become sole editor and proprie-
tor. Mr.. Monahan in his salutatory
announces that the paper will be re-
publican at all times and under all
circumstances, but we can not well
see how he can make it any stronger
republican than it has been in the
past. 1t has not only been one OF
the ablest but one Of the red hottest
defenders of the "lost cause in
this congressional district. Never
theless, Bro. Monahan is a first-class
fellow, and The Democrat wishes
him success in all else but the dis
semination Of his pernicious politi'
cal doctrines.

No respectable people will object TO the nssul-
auee OF the postmaster general that all office
holders who pcddled the dirty scandals against
Mr.. Cleveland shall be removed on the score OF
deccncy. But all must insist that on the same
count the d:mocTats who abused Mr.. Blane's
family by throwing filth shall he found guilty OF
indecency and kept out Of Office.
So far at least as Wisconsin is con.
cerned but very few Democrats
abused Mr.. Blaine and family, but
there was not single republican
newspaper in the state that did not
publish the attacks upon Mr.. Cleye-
lands private character and very few
federal officials who did not give as
wide n circulation as possible to
these personal attacks. From the
very first this matter of dirty cam
paign work was denounced by the
leaders of the democratic party, and
democrats generally RETAINED from
engaging in it.

The appointment of DIR. Wendell
A. Anderson, of Lacrosse, as consul
at Montreal, is most satisfactory to
the democracy of Wisconsin. The
consulship is one of the most i'm
portant in the service, and the doctor
richly deserves the honor conferred
upon him. He is a gentleman and
scholar, and will discharge the
duties of the office with credit and
ability. AS chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee. he
fought CALAMITY to wrest the state
from the republicans, aud was
always in favor of standing by the
cardinal principles of the party
rather than seeking success on any
policy of expediency. The Democrat

upon the deserved recognition he
has received from the administra-

1t is said that the men now being
appointed to diplomatic positions
are almost invariably free traders.
This is rs il should be. 1t is the duty
of ministers and consuls to secure
friendly intercourse and facilitate
trade with foreign nations. And no
one opposed to one or the other of
these objects should be sent abroad to
represent the government. 1t is also
the duty of consuls to report the
state of trade at their respective
parts throughout the world, and to
suggest ways and means by which
commercial intercourse might be
carried on with more advantage to
this country. But heretofore, no
matter how conclusive the evidence
that the system of high protection
maintained by the United States
was a losing game, a hirtarance to
our producers and an unjust and
burdensome tax upon our consum-
ers, it has been an objectionable sin
for any consul to report state of
facts which would lead to that con-
clusion. Some other cause must be
sought out wherever American goods
are sold or disposed of to a disad-
vantage. Moreover, as the represen-
tatives which the government has
sent abroad for the past twenty
years have, with hardly an excep-
ton, been such completely befogged
political economists as to believe
that the people Of the country could
be enriched by high taxation, it was
not to be supposed that they would
see any evil in the spoliation system,
no matter how mischievous its work
ings. We have had enough of the
blind leading the blind. Let those
who can see clearly represent us
abroad for a while.
