The refusal of the Senate to confirm
Mr.. Murat Halstcad is due to his
Incorporate use of the English language.
Many republican editors condemned the re
fusal of the Senate to investigate the alleged
use of money by Senator Payne of Ohio to
secure his election to the Senate: but only
Mr.. Halstead saw lit to berate the Senators
who voted lotto investigate as "ycllow dogsn
or to apply to them the other extremely
abusive epithets which he employed Nor
was this the only instance of the kind 1t
Is stated that Mr.. EVarts made in the ex-
ecutive session the point that the quotations
from Mr.. Halstead's editorials were sutlic-
lent evidence that their author was not a
safe man for such responsible Office as the
mission to Berlin. As analvzel by Mr..
Evarts, they were declared by him TO show
that Mr.. Halstead was hasty, intolerant,
hot-tenipered, and in nearly every other way
unit for the place. Mr.. Evarts's argument
is said to have been one of the most effective
be has ever made in the Senate, and when
he had finished it was felt by both parties
that the Ilalstcad cause had ben hit very
hard blow

\ jackson Kefrigerator Ordered.
The promoters Of the cold storage project
had an informal meeting Monday in one
of the parors of tho Van Ness House; no
formal meeting can be held till the company
is legally organized, which cannot be accom-
plished before the middle or end of next
week. There were present Lieut.. Gov.
Woodbury., Gen. T. $. Peck, Maj. G. $.
Blodgett and D. ". Robinson, w. G. Shaw,
\. e. Whitteinore Mr.. Ferguson and 9th
ers. The cold storage scheme was talked
over, and it was unanimously agreed that
Jackson refrigerator be built. Mr.. Clifford
Of Boston, representing the Jackson COM
pany, was present, and it was arranged that
plans and specifications of the work be on
hand this week, SO that tenders for the
building of the structure might be at once
advertised for. The meeting, of course,
could take no positive action Monday, as
the company has no legal standing as yet;
this position will be attained by Saturday
Of next week, it is thought. Plenty of en-
thusiasm obtains among the promoters or
the scheme and there is little doubt that the

Is there any propriety or justice in allow
ing q good per cent of the dogs in town to

and another so free? Let all live up to the
law or all disobey it. | hope the selectmen

that every dog is either taxed or shot,

The collapse of the great strike of Fall
River weavers will surprise no unprecedented
observer, From the outset it was simply a
question of endurance with all the advan-
tage on the side OF the manufacturers
Without passing on the right or wrong of
strikes in general, or OF this strike in parti-
cular, it is plain that in such a contest labor
is always at disadvantage, since
it has everything to lose and nothing to gain
unless the strike succeeds. But with the
mil-owners the case is different. The stop
page Of thousands of looms for any length
Of time reduces the supply of goods and
tends to raise prices This appears to be a
result Of this last strike and it is not unlike
ly that the benefit thus received by the
manufacturers viii more than offset their
