As was expected, bill providing for the redemption of the trade dollars by the gov ernment at their full value has been intro duced in Congress. It is generally believed that a great many of these dollars are in the possession of Philadelphia syndicate which, having bought them up at a low price, is now holding them for just such an opportunity to realize an enormous profit as the result of this bill will offer.

False alarms of fire cost great deal in the course of year. A mechanic in Louisville, Kentucky, thinks he has invented an appa- ratus which will discourage the giving of false alarms of fire. His appliance is pair of magnetic ~nippers, which grasp by the wrist the man who turns in the alarm and hold him at the box until the arrival of the fire department. The man who turns in the alarm can be released only by the fremen, who are supplied with keys which turn of the current, when the magnet releases it's grip.

A3chemist is now employed by the Penn sylvania railroad company to analyze all the water used in the boilers of the locomo- tives along the lines of the company's entire system of roads. It is known that most of the water has been more or less impure and that deposit gradually collects in the fues of the boilers, forming an incrustation or scale that corrodes and requires an immense amount of fuel to generate steam. Mr. Dud- ley, the chemist, has succeeded in selecting chemicals which will purify the water before it is run into the locomotive boilers and thus save much expense. Another special object to be secured in using pure water will be the running of trains at long distances at a more regular speed with a less quantity of fuel

Attorney-General Cassidy of Pennsylvania makes strong indictment against the coal combination when he says: The combination, by hindering competition, has restricted the development of the State. It has advanced prices both for coal and for transportation artifcially to an unjust extent. By restrict ing production and by advancing prices it has crippled vast industries and seriously in- jured the prosperity of the State. By order ing the suspension of mining it has caused large numbers of workmen to remain idle considerable part of the year.

authorizes the President to appoint
a Commissioner of immigration, sub
iect to the directions of the Depart
ment of State, at a salary Of $4,000,
with three clerks, &c. The remaining
sections, except section 2, provide for
a United States emigrant office in New
York City, with one Commissioner,
who is authorized to make contracts
with railroad companies, &c, to carry
imported workmen to their destination;
for exempting such alien laborers
from military service appropriates
$25,00O for carrying the law into effect
and specifies the number of clerks to
be employed, salaries, tenure OF office,
&c. The sting is in section 2, which
is in the following words:
"All contracts that shall be made by
emigrants with the United States in
foreign countries, in conformity to reg
ulations that may be established by
the said Commissioner, whereby emil
grants shall pledge the wages OF their
labor for term not exceeding twelve
months, to repay the expenses OF their
emigration, shall be held valid in law,
and may be enforced in the courts of
the United States, or of the several
States and Territories; and such ad-
vances, if so stipulated in the contract,
and the contract be recorded IN the
Recorders Office in the county where
the emigrant shall settle, shall operate
as a lien upon any land thereafter ac-
quired, until liquidated by the emf
grant, whether under the homestead
law when the title is consummated, or
on property otherwise acquired by the
emigrant but nothing herein contain
ed shall be deemed to authorize any
contract contravening the Constitution
of the United States, or creating in any
way the relation of slavery or servi-
tude."
Everybody knows that swarms of
aliens have been imported into this
country under contract since the pass
age of that act that they have work
ed their appointed time at wages utter
ly ruinous to American workingmen,
and then returned to their squalid
homes in Europe. They came with no
intention of becoming citizens of the
United States, The perpetrators of
this grievous outrage against Ameri-
can workingmen find their apology in
the Republican law above quoted, and
which may be justly styled the pioneer
act in legislative assaults on American
labor.
In the light of this law there is some-
thing like grim irony in the declarations
on this subject found in Republican
platforms of late years.

Degrading American Labor.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THE PIONEER IN
LEGISLATION AGAINST THE WORKING
MEN.

The Beaver platform in Pennsylvan-
ia, 1885, says: ave deprecate the ne
farious work of importing foreign pau
per labor, criminal and contract labor,
and the products of criminal and con-
tract labor, and demand the passage Of
national law summarily and positive
ly prohibiting such importation under
any pretext whatever"
1t is curious fact not generally
known, that the first and only law ever
passed by Congress expressly author
izing the importation Of foreigners
under contract to perform labor for
stated time in place of our American
workingmen, was put through the two
Houses when the Republicans had an
overwhelming majority in each; it is
true, also, that the record fails to dis
close any opposition to that atroclous
measure on the part of Republicans in
either House. Its champion in the
Senate was the Hon John Sherman, of
Ohio, and in the House the Hon. E. b.
Washburne, of Illinois.
The bill is entitled San Act to En-
courage Immigration" 1t passed both
Houses July 2, 1864, on conference
repor. siG d by Sherman and An
thony on part OF the Senate, and by
Washburne and Window on the part
of the House, the Democratic conferees
refusing to sign, and it was approved
by the President July 4, 1864, which
was the last of the session.
The managers Of the bill exhibited
hot impatience TO put it through be-
fore the close of that session. June
27, on motion of Mr.. Sherman "all
prior orders" of the Senate were post.
poned, and the bill was taken up aud
passed, the ground of haste being as
stated by the Ohio Senator, that
''wages were very high" in this count
ry, and we needed importation on that
account. In the House Thad. Stevens
had moyed to go into Committee OF
the Whole on one of the great appro.
priation bills, but Withdrew his motion
on Washburne's earnest appeal, and the
pauper, alien, contract labor-bill was
passed without q word OF manly oppo,
sition from the Republican side, the
Democrats being so few in that House
that they could pot enforce the demand
at Mr.. Pendleton, of Ohio, for call
Of the yeas and nays.
The bill itself, aside from the out
rage it proposed TO iatlict upon Ameri
can workingmen, in putting their labor
in competition with that of imported
aliens, is a prime curiosity. AS it ap-

adjudication of important cases, during
the war and has kept himself CONVEX

A Dogs Horrible Find.
THE DEAD BODY OF POLISH WOMAN
DISCOVERED NEAR HAzLEToN.

HAzLEToN, Oct. GA most shocking
discovery was made in the woods near
the Jeddo store this morning by John
Bruzunski, a 16 year lad, and Frank
Siglin. The two boys noticing the
strange actions of dog belonging to
young Bruzunski's father, proceeded
into the woods to ascertain the cause,
and to their surprise found the murd.
cred body of young Bruzunski's moth
er.
The spot where the body was four d
indicated that fierce struggle had
taken place. There were two deep
cuts behind each ear, which had been
inflicted by some sharp instrument,
aid the face was badly scratched. Mrs
Bruzunski left her home at Highland
on Wednesday evening for G. B. Mar
kle u Co.'S store at Jeddo. She did
not return to her home, and Mr.. Bru-
zunski sent to inquire if she had been
there. The clerks in the store had
not seen her and her husband was so
notified He Immediately instituted
a search, but she could not be found
until the dog revealed the mystery.
The opinion is that the woman was
waylaid by unknown persons, knocke d
down assaulted, and killed. Squire
Dobson was notified and empaneled
a jury, who, after viewing the body
rendered verdict that death resulted
from blow of some blunt instrument
in the hands of one or more persons
unknown. The victim was a respect
able Polish woman and was the mother
of six children.
A Hungarian named J. G. Zulbiua,
one of the victims boarders, has been
missing since the horrible deed was
perpetrated, and he is suspected OF
having murdered the woman. Zulbina
was the only person who could give
information about the whereabouts OF
the woman just before she was missed
by her relatives.

Seven Of the Chicago Anarchists

the organ of the Anarchists is fierce,
and recently printed the following:
"The first act of the play ended the
Goth of August, when the jury, con-
sisting of capitalistic hirelings, declar-
ed the defendants guilty. The second
act came to an end yesterday, when
the puppet in the Judges chair refused
the just demands of the defense and
set the day of execution. However
many acts are to come? How are
they to end2 We cannot say.
"Shall we waste words on the parti-
san conduct of the trial, which violated
every idea of right and justicei Shall
we speak of witnesses who were terror

upon the monostrosity of this most

do is to turn to you, the working,
struggling, freedom m-hungering prolet-
ariat. We call on you to be united
and courageous IN this bitter struggle.
to hate and condemn the existing in

"Take heart you men and women of
the people. Lay aside all little things
all which can hurt and which are un-
worthy of our great cause. Shake off
the old Adam of petty squabbles and
of delay. Be men be heroines' Think
of our convicted associates think of
