and villages have been left one side and
their values decreased largely. Other
farms have received largely added
value and new villages have grown up.
If Mr.. Benedict looks around him, we
have no doubt he will find similar causes
at work to home. Perhaps near him it
is the abandonment of a mining job in
stead of lumber or coal Job. The
changes that come from the aggregation
or scattering of wealth operate the world
over.
Farmers and farming have suffered
much from the high tariff of the last
twenty-five years, by which they are
called upon to pay bonus to the manu-
facturers; thereby increasing the profits
of manufacturing and decreasing those
of farming, which results immediately in
augmenting the number of those who
seek the cities or villages, and lessenng
customers for farms. And, of course.
the less demand there is for land the less
will be the price of land. The tariff, too
forces our farmers to pay higher for ev-
erything they buy. Now that war ex-
penses have ceased the farmers should
see to it that duties are reduced on the
necessaries and useful articles of life, and
not from whisky and tobacco. Fol
whole tariff fight is simply a question
whether or not the internal tax shall be
taken off from whisky and tobacco. Fol
/ if it is taken off there will be no surplus
but if it is not, duties must be reduced
elsewhere. JOSEPH BATTELL.

to his step-mother, Mrs. Woodson Woods,
that one of her neighbors across the hill
was sick, and wanted her to come immedi-

near path, to await her coming, and when
she approached stepped out and fired re-

taking effect just below the nipple. She
fell TO the ground. To make sure of his
work, Woods shot her again in the neck,
and afterwards dragged her to cliff near
by and dropped her over it to the rocks be-

covered sufficiently to give an alarm, which
was heard by men getting cut cross-ties,
who went to her assistance, accompanied
by Woods, who professed entire ignorance
of the matter. She was conscious and re-
lated the story of the shooting, accusing
Woods of being her assassin. When she had
finished her narrative Mrs. Woods expired.
The only known cause for the crime was

NEW INDUSTRIAL MOVEMENT.
American Artisans to Be Educated to the Work
of Producing High Grades of Textiles.

PATERSON, N. j., March 25.-An impor-
tant movement bearing on the future tex
tile industries is now under way here. The
object is three fold to elevate the character
and improve the style of American fabrics.
to render the domestic manufacturers inde-
pendent of European art and skill in the
production of high-grade goods, and to
emancipate American industries in this de-
partment from the alleged despotism OF
trades-unions. which it is claimed so handl-
caps employers that it is practically impos-
sible for them to successfully compete with
foreign establishments in the worlds mar
kets, and it is extremely difficult, notwith-
standing the large amount of tariff protec-
tion afforded, to maintain their ascendency
at home. We have no technical schools
such as are found abroad, there is little or
nothing distinctively American in rich and
elegant patterns, and. we are to a marvel
OuS extent mere cOpylStS OF European de-
signs. Americans are rarely ever admitted
into the foreign schools where designing,
weaving, dyeing and furnishing are taught,
and it is for the purpose of endowing such
a school at home that a movement has been
set on foot, backed by the signatures OF the
representing millions of dollars, including
such names as William Strange, William L.
Ryle, James Booth, Richard Walter, Cath
olina Lambert, Hubert Schwarzen-
L. II. Ammidown, S. d. Juillard.
the Germauia wooden mills, III. Wilson,
Brinton Richardson and a number of others.
A preliminary meeting will be held at the
Office of the Silk Association of America, on
April 9, for the purpose of taking the neces-
sary steps to complete the organization.
Negotiations have already been made with
the best qualified teachers from abroad to
assume charge over the various departments:
Francilton dyes, Mr. Jules Francilton, has
already been secured. The movement is a
direct strike at the trades-unions which do
not allow more than one apprentice to a
certain number of weavers. The aim is to
broaden the scope and enlarge the field, and
have market abroad for the goods manu-
factured at home.

there, and they had agreed with their con-
federates to strike blow at Soochow and
other large cities where allies were In readi-
ness to assist them The plot was discov-
cred through an intercepted letter, and the
papers. seals and correspondence were
seized. The ringleaders were arrested and
decapitated and the rising was suppressed.
Later on similar rising occurred at Nam
kin, again among the discontented soldiers
and the disbanded Hunanmen of the same
society. Advantage was taken of the Vice
roy's absence TO hasten the plot, but his re-
turn interfered with the details. The lead
ers were betrayed, seized and beheaded.
The authorities, were now thoroughly
alarmed, prOclamatiOns were issued, sever
al regiments of HunanAmen were disbanded
and sent to their native provinces and soon
the trouble ceased. This K0-lao-Hui is de-
scribed as society somewhat resembling
the Socialists of Europe, and much dreaded
by the officials and people of China. 1t
among the soldiers In Human for the pur-
pose of affording aid to the wounded and
the families of the men killed in service.
The Human men served all over China, and
their mutual aid society spread over the
whole country. The aims of the society de-
veloped with it's growth, and a sentiment
of equality in worldly possessions and pO-
sltion became prevalent among its MEM
bers. Able and INSCRIPTIONS men turned
these feelings to their own uses, and now
the society seeks to spread its socialistic
views by the rough-and-ready process OF
plunder and rapine. Its doctrines have a
natural attraction for all the discontented
and disreputable members of society, and
its ranks have lately been largely recruited
from the many disbanded soldiers now
wandering over China.
