MANCHESTER MARKETS.
They Are Quiet, With Moderate Amount
of Business.

MANCHESTER, Eng, Aug. 25.-The
Guardian. in its commercial article,
says:
"The markell is quiet. Amoderate amount
of business has been done. In some de
partments the divergence in the views of
buyers and sellers has diminished. The
Eastern business has not been large. Pro-
ducers who are unwilling to make conces.
sions progress poorly; others. who show a
disposition to concede trife, make fair
sales. Large transactions are scarce,
though there is a quiet butsteady business
in smaller lots. Foreign and home trade
buying, though healthy, is conducted in a
hand-to-mouth fashion. A further rise in
exchange or an advance in the price of
rupees is necessary to enlarge business.
There is but little doing in export yarns;
the pressure to sell depresses prices. In
the cloth market there is moderate bust
ness; there have been small sales of India
and China shirtings, with occasional slight
concessions in prices; dhooties, jacconets,
mulls, printing and other finishing cloths
are steady, with moderate sales"

Labor Notes.

The big strike at Brockton, Mass, which
has kept thirty nine factories and 5000
hands idle four weeks, is over, q peace COM
mittee having effected settlement.
Shoenburger's nail MILL at Pittsburg,
which has been closed for several weeks,
is about to resume work, the employees hav-
ing decided to follow the example of the
Wheeling and Mingo men and go to work
at the 17-cent scale. 1t is quite probable
that the other Pittsburg factories will fol-
low suit few days later.
A New York dispatch of the 9th says:
The strike on the surface roads is now
ended. The strikers on the Belt Line to-
day decided to follow the example set them
by the employees of the Broadway road,
and tomorrow morning they will return to
work. The men will hereafter be paid by
the trip, and not by the day. Several
fights occurred during the day between
''scabs' and strikers, but no general dis
turbance took place.
For the past two weeks the clothing cut
tiers employed at the shops of August Bros.
and L. & E. Michaels, New York. have been
on strike because of the refusal of the
Manufacturers Association to meeJ the de-
mand of the Cutters Union that no non
union men should be employed in any
shops in the city after August II, 1886, and
that no man suspended by the union
should be given work by the manufacturers.
On the 9th the manufacturers resolved
that after the following Monday they
would employ no union cutters until the
strike at the two places named should have
been declared off. If the union holds out,
800 cutters will be thrown out of work and
10000 other employees affected.
No cars were run on the Belt line, New
York, on the oath, the employees last night
having determined to tie up the road. The
Broadway & Seventh Avenue Company g
officials advertised for new men to take the
places of the strikers, all attempts at COM
promise having failed. No cars were run
on any OF the Broadway company's lines,
the strikers standing out for the old schedule
and the company for the new schedule,
with an extra trip. Supt. Newell says there
can be no compromise and has notified the
police to furnish protection.

To Avenge the Anarchists

The New York Anarchist sheet Freiheit,

the Anarchists in Chicago would be

banner is waving for them. We are proud
that we can call these seven men our
brothers" The Socialistic labor party
met the same night and disclaimed ali con-
nection with the Anarchists. "We are
down on all such cranks, loafers, robbers
and murderers," said Herr Armand, the
chief speaker of the evening.

The officers of the British steamer Queen,
which arrived at New York, on the 25th,

made to take the wreck in tow, but the
hawser parted each time. The Queen lost

Capital Punishment

Among the nations which take a
comparatively lcnient view of homicide
it matters little for practical purposes
whether the crime is legally punishable
by death or not; for we may be pretty
certain that the capital penalty will
seldom or never be enforced. II may
occasionally happen to such nation
TO be seized with q paroXySm of indig-
nation at some exceptionally atrociouS
murder, and, as in the case of SwitZ-
erland, to hurriedly resume the powers
of Furnishing the crime with death; but
on the subsistence of popular emotion
the new weapon is allowed to rust un-
used. Here in England our legislators
have fortunately no such hOt-and-cold
fits of public sentiment to reckon with.
The instinct of all the more manly and
sensible part of the people is one of
stern detestation of murder and of
healthy repugnance for the mawkish
Sentimentalism which finds excuses for
the murder The little clique of pseudo
humanitarians who at one time preten-
ded TO represent the ''better mind" of
the country on the subject have become
less and less formidable every year,
and have at last sunk into almost COM
plete obscurity and insignificance
Nothing now threatens the mainten-
ance of the death penaly for homicide
unless it be still surviving imperfection
and anomalies of our criminal jurispru-
dence and general discomfort with our
faulty method of execution and its too
often bungling practitioners. Nothing,
of course, would he more childishly alb
surd than to change our laws and abol-
ish 4 deterrent punishment on the
strength of these objections, even if
they were irremovable, and that is very
far from being the case. 1t is, no
doubt easier to begin with the cord
than the code; but there should be no
great difficulty with either 1t ought
surely TO be within the resources of so
old civilization as our own to advise
some judicial method of discrimina-
ting between the more and less heinous
of our murderers and to devise some
decently skilled eXecutioner who can
rid the world of the worst of them with
reasonable humanity and dispatch.

according to writer in French

by ordinary locomotives is on the two
miles between Enghein and Mont

feet in the thousand, or an angle OF
p 35', Grades of thirty-fve feet to
the thousand, or two degrees, are

three degrees u the thousand, the
maximum slope that can be travelled
on a highway being set down as 132, or
seven and one-half degrees. The grades
on cable or eogwheel railways are OF
course considerably greater; that of the
road up the Swiss Rigi from VitZnau
is, in the steepest part, 25O to the
thousand, while the maximum on the

at $50 and 375, this latter being the

FARM NOTES

PUMPKINS AMONG CoRN.-Although
some farmers reject the long and
well-sustained practice OF planting
pumpkin seed among corn, on the
ground that 1t derracts as much from
the corn product as in the profits 1t adds
to the stock of provender, still 1t is the
general method pursued to get q crop
Of pumpkins. Besides, from our own
experience and observation, we have
had and seen as good crops OK corn with
as without the pumpkins. 1t may ap-
pear at first thought as II the land could
not sustain two full crops Of anything !;
but this is not SO in all cases, as in
those where the two cops do not require
the same manurial stimulants, mas
much as a portion at least that one will
take I'D will not be required by the
other. OF course, it requires very
good land to raise pumpkins; but even
in this case. though an extra crop or
manure may be needed to be applied to
the corn ground where pumpkins are to
be planted, there will be saving in the
element Of time, and, instead Of one
crop from the land in year, we gather
two. The objection that some make
that the vines shade the ground while
the ground requires all the heat it can
get, is not well founded, as the corn it.
self furnishes perfect shade without the
vines. which really can add little more
to injure the crop. 1t is far more prob
able that the objectors to this double
crop who fail in getting all they want,
owe their lack of success to poor land,
or negligent cultivation. and we sug-
gest that they should change their sys-
TEN by manuring and cultlyating more,
and then wait and see,

here as there, so l thought It best to

And she only smiled at his attempts
