ILLINOIS is the first State to adopt a
law forbidding the employment of those
who are not American citizens or have
not declared their intention to become
such on State or municipal works. It
makes il the duty of municipal officers
ana contractors to see that those they
hire are citizens or have taken out their
frs. papers. If complaint IS made TO
them thai any one under them is im.
properly employed it is made their duty
10 investigate, and if the complaint Is
well founded to discharge the man. II
q contractor allows aliens 70 work know
ingly the wages which may have been
paid them are deducted from whatever
is due him on his contract. This is a
queer law, and the chances are little at
tentiou will be paid 10 it. At any rate,
declaration Of intention is a very simple.
cheap and easy process.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the
g. o. p. is In power and the tinkering at
the tariff has ceased, the wages Of the
workingmen are being reduced in every
tariff protected industry. Ever since
the election of Harrison, wages have
been on the descending scale. The
claim made by the tariff barous last
Fall before the election, that the wages
paid In this country we're far aoove the
wages paid in Europe. seems to have
been only made for pioneering pur-
poses. Although on their pay envel-
opes the workjngmen were told that
their wages would be reduced to q level
with the pauper labor of Europe If
Cleveland were elected, it now appears
that the American iron worker is not
getting as good wages as are paid in
England. The PIltsburg Labor TriJ-
1tne, in an editorial on the wage ques-
tion, says:
"There was not much difference in the
wages per ton of rails between English and
American mills in 1887, when business was
good In America and poor in England.
Now that wages have advanced abroad and
been reduced at home. it is dou bttul wheth-
er there is any difference existing yet
there Is the starter for another reduction
at homo, while English wages are appar-
emily still on the up grade"

AMERICAN EXHIBITS occupy more
than one-third os the space in the great
machinery building at the French Ex-
position. When the history Of nine
teenthscentury invention shall have
been written a still larger portion of the
world will then see how great has been
the contribution of American ingenuity
progress. If our industrial legislation
had only kept equal pace with the spirit
Of invention, how much more We would
have added to our growth and re-
sources.

and her two nieces, Miss Fanny Van

were recently arrested at Mentone,
thrown in damp cell In jail for two

released on paying for the dresses. The

THE wretched civil war in Hayti is
still going on, with little fighting and
q great deal or lawlessness, violence,
rapine, and general distress. 1t is
tending powerfully to reduce the whole
country to barbarism and must greatly
lessen the productiveness and resources
OF naturally rich and fertile island.
Probably no region of equal vegetable
and mineral wealth and advantages of
of location has been so misgoverned and
cursed by human folly ard avarice in
modern times, at least, as the West In-
dies.

MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY is quoted
as saying nominations by popular vote
and the Australian system OF voting
open up too many avenues for fraud.
This is very startling information. The
election of United States Senators by
popular vote would probably prevent
ssch exa mples OF Senatorial incapacity
as Quay and Cameron being found in
the National Congress.

GOVERNOR BEAVER has discovered
that the revenues Of the State are in
sufficient TO meet the appropriations
made by the recent Legislature. OF
course he omits TO mention that the
trick by which he killed the Revenue
bill two years ago is mainly responsible

GOVERNOR BEAVER, says the Harris

these institutions is used for the benefit
of the children. At the next session of

win be taken to close the schools.

japanese written and printed character

the scholars vocabulary, and no fewer
than 1000 are In common daily use; while
the forty-seven simple characters Of kama

Japanese compositor has to be prepared
to place in his stick any one Of over 1000
different ~types-truly an appalling task.
From the nature Of the problem several
