1T SURPRISED THE MILL OWNERS.
The Weavers Strike at Fall River is One
of the Greatest on Record There.

The Weavers' Strike at Fall River is One
of the Greatest on Record There.
FALL RIVER. Mass, March II, 1885,
The weavers' strike for an advance in
wages, which occurred this morning, is
one Of the most general in the history of
labor troubles here. The weaving depart
ments of fifty mills are practically shut
down, and about six thousand weavers are
idle. Those who refused to strike do not
altogether number more than half enough
to keep one mill going.
The extent of the strike is a great sur
prise to the manufacturers, who expected
that only a few mills in the outskirts
would be involved. They thought the
help would be so much divided as to the
wisdom of a strike at the present time that
this circumstance would disorganize the
movement in a few days. The operatives
are very much pleased at the unanimous
sentiment of resistance displayed in their
ranks and predict an early victory.
They claim that they can afford to main
tain the strike for several weeks. 1t is the
prevailing impression that the manufacs
turers can give an advance at present
prices for cloth and can ill-afford to curtail
production for W a short period. The
Board of Trade says, however, that no adj
vance viii be given and q bitter struggle
is anticipated.
Everything is quiet. The strikers held q
mass meeting at South Park this forenoon
Only three mills out of over forty are
running their weaving departments, and
one Of these only so out OF 800 looms.

%Freeholders, Rascality.

The letter of a "Disgruntled Tax
payer" published in THE JERSEY
Cry NEWS on Saturday, created a
great deal of comment inthe communi-
ty. His pungent description of the sys-
tenn under which the Freeholders pay
their political debts with the peoples
money was the expression of the in
dignant thought that exists in every
honest mind.
There are two remedies for the
crimes that are depicting the public
treasury, the adoption by the
Legislature Of some system less open
to abuse, the other, the condign pun

Labor Party met last night at Germania
Hall, to take action with regard to the
delay in passing the bill relating to the
Australian system of voting, and other
matters now before the Legislature IN the
interest of the working people OF

stated that certain members OF
the city and county rings were
opposed to the measures, and that
their agents at Trenton were using their
influence to prevent the passage Of any
law that will prevent the ballot box
suffers. their aiders and abettors from
buying and selling votes. A com
miftee was appointed to communi-
cate with Assemblyman Kane, II ask
him to forward to the said committee
the names of each and every member Of
the Senate and Assembly, who oppose any
of the measures that have been introduced
in the interest of labor, and particularly
the Australian system of voting. Dele

ruled by thieves, and that their agents,
who are paid by the citizens can be found

Back In Feenex,s Bill.

Opponents of the Water Swindlecate
must remember that there is to be an
other hearing" this week before the
Senate Committee on Riparian Rights
on the subject of the Feeney Water
Bill.
OF our these bearings in them
selves amount to nothing-absolutely
nothing. There is no Senator SO stupid
as not to know in his heart that the
bill ought to pass, and that every man
with the slightest pretension to hon
esty ought to vote for it.
But public spirited citizens must
not, on that account, stay away from
the hearings. There is every reason to
fear that certain Senators are looking
around longingly for a good excuse to
kill the bill. Any neglect on the part
of citizens and taxpayers to insist on
its passage, will give them just the
excuse they want.
Then go to Trenton tonight, and
speak to the Senators in tones that
they must hearken to.
Now the foolish cry of mad dog will
resound through the land again be-
cause a vicious mongrel bit a small
child who was probably teasing him.
All the madness in the case appears
to have been upon the side of the
parents, who allowed the child to run
into such danger.
Who are opposing the Feeney Water
Blu?
The paid agents Of the saoind1ecates.
Who are urging its passage?
The leaddng cttizens-no, all the
honest citiSenS-0 ESSeD and Hudson
counties.

appointed, for when the bill was found
it was hoped that the corruption of
the Board would undergo such a thor

official, however c~ynically dishonest,
would dare to resort to the same old
tricks for many a year to come.
We publish today another letter
from the 'Disgruntled Taxpayer" in
which he lets in still more light on
the dishonesty of the Board.

The President Doesn't Dance.

1IIG LCSkNCuO DOCSA u OdtlBCC.
1t is a little late to nail campaign
lies, but Colonel Shepard and other
very good people will be glad to hear
that the infamous SANDER which was
circulated last October to the effect
that General Harrison, of Indianapo-
lis, not only could dance, but FREE
quently did dance, has been refuted,
The truth has come out through the
invitation which Sir Ward McAllister
was pleased to send the President and
his wife, to dance in the opening quad
rifle at the Washington Centennial Ball.
The President is reported to have
replied that his desire to serve Sir
Ward was the only thing which he
allowed to stand above his duty to the
Republican party, but he couldn't
oblige him in this. matter because his
early education had been neglected.
1t is Mrs. Harrison who dances. We
may also remark here. that it is Mrs.
Harrison who wears bustles. Let not
all the sins Of this Administration be
charged to the grandson Of his grand
father.
Mrs. Harrison will have to fall back
upon the courtesy of the Vice-Presi-
dent and this in all probability will
make Mrs. Morton the partner of Gov
ernor Hill. In prospect of this re-
markable juxtaposition, both have
begun to jot down things to say that
cannot be taken to have political sig
nificance.

birthto His death on the cross The
preacher dwelt mainly upon the
great love of Our Lord for
the human race in general, and
the mission work which he was in the
habit of doing. He took the stand
that mankind cannot under any cir
cumstances do enough to pay for the
great love which He bore for the race.
He gave several examples Of CONVEX
sions among savage nations and the
sutferings of missionaries. He urged
his hearers not to be sparing of their
gifts to the cause, but to give all they
had. if necessary.
Under that head he gave as illustra-
tion-the case of a man in Pennsylva-
MIA who donated over two millions to
the cause of missions recently. He
sad the man grew from a poor boy to
a millionaire. The papers at the time
told the story, but omitted to state
that the donor was a Methodist. Ii he
had been a defaulter he would have
been held up as a Methodist. When a

Methodist is not told.
