The Boston Herald thinks that the Wis consin republican clubs ''must have been in pursuit of the ideal ticket when, at their recent convention, they suggested Gresham and Hawley. "The extent" it musingly adds, 'sto which the vice-presi- dency is offered to General Hawley is something remarkable. It is another in- stance of perverse fate in following man with an office that he does not desire. The worst of all is that Hawley is too of- ten mentioned in this connection with men for the higher place who are his interiors. D

English manufacturers of cotton goods do not hesitate to counterfeit the trade marks of New England mills on inferior goods of their own make. This is one oi the reasons. in fact greater reason than a protective tariff, why the foreign makers of cotton goods keep our manufacturers from controlling the markets of China and Japan.

THE news of the discovery of a shortage of $159, 900 in the accounts of the Willimantic Trust Institute made sensation in our sister borough last Friday. Bank Commissioners Landers and Noble on that day made investi- Ration. It seems that the affairs of the bank have for some time been tangled, and the board of directors have been trying to get matters straightened. In 1886 Ex-State Treas urer Buck became president of the bank.
 About this time it was found that Treasurer Royce had been floating about $15O, ,0O0 in amount of accommodation paper for parties in New York. This the directors ordered to be discontinued, and the amonnt was reduced as fast as possible, the present amount thus invested being 1892, ,OOO. The directors also found a system of floating checks amounting to $1O0,0 to $500, 900 per month. This also was forbidden. About year ago appi- cation was made for a loan of $7o, 900 by the US Stamping Go. of Portland. The directors investigated, and voted not to make the loan, but the treasurer went on and made it, and when the directors discovered that he had done 80 they also found that there were no assets to secure the loan the entire property of the Go. being covered by previous mortgages. This is the directors side of the story. The treasurer, on the other hand, claims that the directors had full knowledge of all his do- ings. He refused to resign, and was Bus- pended from office by the directors. Some time ago the directors had put in an assistant treasurer to help straighten matters. This assistant, F. F. Webb, has been promoted to the place vacated by his chief. The bank is closed for the present, and notice has been given that because of losses deposits are sealed 15 per cent. This will amply cover all loss, and give possible chance of recovery of portion of the shrinkage by the deposits. The loss will be chiefly the Portland invest ment, and what may be lost of the aceommo- dalton papers held by New York parties. The directors are entitled to much credit for the efforts they have made to retrieve losses and prevent further losses. If the treasurer has deliberately ignored instructions of the board, as is asserted, his action Is criminal.

THE boiler of an engine on the morning passenger train to Hartford exploded yester- day, killing the engineer and fireman, James Kelso and John Bogle. The train had left Manchester and was near the HOckanum river. The explosion destroyed the track and the ears bumped on, stopping within 200 yards of the high bridge. The escape was thus narrow one for the passengers. The cause of the explosion is a mystery.

Advises the knights Regarding Hours of
Labor.

New York, April ll.-General Master
Workman Powderly has written letter to
the knights of Labor throughout the coun-
trv in regard to hours of labor. He advises
Knights to discuss the eight hour plan dis
passionately with their employers. He
says that an immediate change cannot be
insisted on, but that practical plan should
be perfected. He says:
The workingmen aud the common people
generally are the rulers in our cities and
towns, and they should at once begin to
make their power felt in the matter of short
ening the hours of labor of the employees of
these cities and towns. The order need not
be made a political machine to do this. Do
not de deferred from making the attempt
by having it said that you have no right as
an order to mix in politics. The order must
not be dragged into partisan politics, but
our members should take an active part as
citizens in the discharge OF their duty at the
polls, and afterwards voting for men who ia
vor shor tening the hours of labor OF employees
in municipalities.
Begin at once to perfect practical plan
of operations looking To the Inauguration of
the eight-hour day. Pass no resolutions
declaring that you will do it on such day /;
pass no resolutions of any kind, but work o
the plan and when the time comes to put
in operation, it can be done without reso-
lutions.
Consult employers, get their views, ar
range with them for meeting to perfect
plan and make an attempt to bring about a
better feeling between working men and en-
ployers than has existed for some time back
1t is true that employers will not condescend
to meet with or talk to their employees.
Purse proud worms, who are to be classed
among the Ignorant rich, will live to
stand in their own light and the commune
ty's light for ages 10 come, but the world
does not move around them. The day is
coming in this land when the employer,
who has the manhood the patriotism
and the sense to talk in straightforward
way to his employees, will be entitled to and
receive more OF honor and wealth than the
selfish fellow upon whom fortune has show
cred riches and nothing else, except it be
an ill-nature.
Our members should not miss . oppor-
tunity to discuss some plank in our pre-
amble at each meeting during the coming
year. Take up the eight-hour pln and
discuss il, side by side with the one which
calls for the establishment of govern
ment telegraph. 7. V. PowDERLY.

B1NaHAMroS, n. Y, April 11.-Fire was
discovered in the Leader block on Water
street, at O'Clock last night. A high wind
prevailed at the time and the flames sho,
rapidly from basement to roof, and in
three hours the four story brick building
was complete wreck.
The ground floor of the block was occu
pied by Murphy's saloon, l.owell Harding
dealer in hides and leather and the Central
Laundry. The second and Lird floors con-
tanned the editorial, composing and job
departments of the Daily Leader and Sun
day Dispatch. On the fourth floor was
Bishops cabinet shop and half dozen pri-
yate families.
Several of the latter had narrow escapes
Rachael Gibbs and her daughter Kittie
were dragged from their rooms in an un-
conscious condition with their face and
hands severely burned. A. w. Carl, editor
of the Leader, was overcome by the heat
and had to be carried out. Sim Einstein,
a Volunteer fireman, was knocked from 8
ladder by fallsng cornice, but was rescued
from the blazing embers only slightly in
jured.
The total loss is estimated at $75,OOO
fairly well covered by insurance. The

ton of new dress of type valued at S., COO

Useful Baking Powder Facts.

The following hints may prevent some
housekeeper from being imposed upon:
II, when two samples of baking powder
are tested by mixing with cold water, one
of them boils up quickly, effervescing like
sedlitz powder. and the other rises more
slowly. foaming like yeast, and. perhaps,
standing over the top of the glass, it is an
evidence of the purity Of the former and
the adulteration of the latter. The differ
ent action of the second is caused by the
addition of -four or lime, or both. Put
little -four in the other and mix 1t thor
oughly, then stir into the water, and the
same result is produced, the action being
more or less slow according to the amount
of -four added.
