DISTRESS AHEAD.
Great Glove Strikc-15, 900 Depen-
dent on the Industry.

A dispatch from Albany N, Y, says;
The 5000 striking glovomakers at Gloycra-
vile and Johnstown today began boycotting
all establishments which refuse TO grant
credit to the sh .fers They have thus far
compelled 10 of the $50 factories in the region
to accept the Knights of Labor schedule,
which increases wages about II per cent The
strike is the largest ever undertaken in this
section, and now bids fair TO ruin
the entire spring trade, About $780,

the United States are manufactured here.
The result of the reduction Of 1885 brewed
discomfort among glovemakcrs, and small
glove manufacturers have been cropping up
in Syracuse, Auburn, Buffalo, Rockford ILL.,,
Detroit Mich, Milwaukee, Wis, and many
other Western cities, where foreign glove
makers have settled down, and are establish

Last July the Knights of Labor perfected
an organization in the region, starting with

knights who are engaged inglovemaking an
ticipated any reduction which the manuiac-
turers might make at the beginning of the
new year by drawing up schedule of prices
for 1856, which they gave to the arbitration

Labor as an organization. The arbitration
committee Informed the manufacturers that
they expected them to appoint committee

Expulsion Of Poles from German
TerritOry

Prince Bismarck in the recent debate in
tho Prussian Landtag on the expulsion Of the
Poles made remarkable speech He said
the primary cause of the governments action
was the dsloyalty of the Po,es to the German
crown. They were, he said, constantly ch-
gagged in intrigues against the governmcnt,and
had made themselves steady annoyance to
Prussia. BY acting MS accomplCcs OF the OPP
position IN the German Parliament, they
effected a majority against the government,
and the crown could do nothing less than
either deny the demands Of such ma Orlly,
or else destroy the evil element which made
the majority possible. The Polish agitation
in Germany, Prince Bismarck said, had
always appeared TO him an element of danger,
and had compelled him 10 keep watch on
Russia. The Poles had been constantly, and
not always unsucc 'ssfully, endeayorhg to set
foreign states against Prussia; "hcnce," con-
tinued the chancellor, tive Rave determined to
buy out all the real estate owned 10y Polish
mobiles in Prussian Poland, and place German
colonists on the lands ltl erto occupied by tho
expelled people lnorder to make the colonial

10 per cent. of thiS-a loss made necessary by
the cXigencies of the case, buying out an
alien class and reSclling to Germans-while
the gain to the empire will be unm 'uSurable.
The government spoke out the chancellor,
with great animation, twill never conccdu the

Dynamite or Gas?

A terrific explosion has taken place at the
Victoria railway station, Norwich, England,
which partially demolished the building. No
one is reported to have been injured. The
cause of the explosion is a mystery. Sir
Henry Hawkins, Judge of the high court of
justice Queens bench division, hal left Nor
witch on train starting from another depot
q few moments before tho explosion, and it
is believed by many that the explosion was
the work of enemies of his who wished to in
lure him, and who had made a mistake in
regard to the station at which he would
leave the town.
Justice Hawkins sentenced the dynamitcrs
Cunningham and Burton to penal servitude
for life on May IS, lSSj
Later The explosion in the Victoria rail
way station is now believed to have beep
caused by gas.

Ben: Perley Poore declares that dairy
men can now realize what is called
'the glorious uncertainty of the law"
The supreme courts in four States have
passed upon the constitutionality of the
laws enacted by the legislature of those
States, prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of butterine. The highest judicial
authorities in New York and in Minneso-
ia have soemnly declared that it is law.
full to concert q vile imitation of butter
from fat rendered from the bodies of dis
eascd animals or from any other greasy
substance. The high State courts OF
Missouri and Pennsylvania have taken
directly opposite ground, and sustain
the constitutionality of the State laws
prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
this unhealthy compound. When news
papers disagree, people can pay their
money and take their choice, reading
both sides and forming their own
opinions. "But these contrary opinions
from the bench" says Major Poore,
"cloud a grave question with doubt, and
can but cause much injury to the dairy
interests of the country. If the manu-
facturers of oleomargarine and butterine
find their occupation gone in State
where it has been declared illegal, they
can move across the line to another State,
and there carry on their traffic. Ways
can always be found to introduce the pro-
duct into those States where its manu-
facture is forbidden, and thus all restric-
tive legislation is rendered nugatory. 1t
is to be hoped that the question will be
carried up to the supreme court and
properly argued there, that it may be
settled on some certain basis. The de-
cision of the supreme court of Pennsyl-
vania, unfolding the constitutionality of
Interchangeable legislation, appears to
be sound in law and common sense, and
could it be confirmed by the supreme
courts of the United States, it would pro
tect the now troubled interests of tn
dairymen."

Good Eruil HnYs.

The value of crop OF frlt depends
more upon its quality than its quantity
No matter how large the general fruit
crop may BE-, nor how heavily the mar
kets may be "glutlod,' good fruit will
always sell readily, and at fair prices.
Nor can there be surplus grown. If
not sold Immediately the crops may be
dried, evaporatcd or canned, for there
will arrive time when such will be in
demand. Too much fruit has not yet
been produced during any season.
When the blackberry was made cul-
tivatcd crop it was predicted that, as
the fence corners and abandoned lOca-
tons had always afforded a supply, the
introduction of large quantities of the
cultivated kinds would render prices
too low to realize profits. but as the
crops were increased the berries were
improved, and a demand was created
that grew with the supply, the conse-
quence being that although carloads
are shipped to our large cities during
the fruit season, the prices have been
higher than at any previous time, The
same rule applies to other fruit crops.
As the supply increases fruit growers en-
deavor to advance prices by improving
the size and quality of the fruit In
venturing upon fruit growing, the varie
ties selected should be those best adapted
to the climate in which they are to be
grown, the proliticacy, hardness and
quality being the chief considerations.
And it must not be overlooked that som
varieties require special cultivation,
while the character Of the soil is an i'm
portant factor also. In marketing fruit
something depends upon the mode of
shipment while the manner of harvest
ing and the proper time for so doing,
largely affects the keeping qualities,
Like every other pursuit, labor is neces-
sary. Preventing insect dcpredations
and pruning at the right moment call for
good judgment and careful attention.
