THE CANNING FACTORY.
Active Work VIII Begin the First Of
Next week.

Active work Will Begin the First OF
Next week.
Avisit to the canning factory Tuesday
morning revealed the fact that the
managers had not been idle during the
winter season by any means. Over
$50, 600 bright new cans are stored
away in the packing room, ready for
use the coming season.
The factory has concluded to manu-
tacture all of its cans in the future, as
from twenty-five to forty cents on
the hundred can be saved thereby.
John OLaughliu, the genial super
intendent, assures us that the last year
had been successful beyond the antici-
pations of the directors, and that this
year gave promise of far greater profits.
Active work will begin about
the first of next week, and will con-
tinue as long as the corn and tomato
crop holds out. The factory has a
capacity of nearly 100000 cans per
annum, but will only put up about

tomato first class, the peas and beans
second to none, and the corn better
than the average. The corn used last
year was somewhat stunted on account
of dry weather, but the crop this year
promises to be excellent. No peas OF
beans will be canned, as the markets
are so glutted with them that they
cannot be turned out at a profit at
present prices. The factory will en-

him safely tn these shores. He is a
citizen of whom the nation may feel

THE vast influx of English capital
into this country, and the manner in
which it is used to gobble up Ameri-

1t is hardly necessary to say that
this sort of thing is bound TO increase
English influence in this country to
the detriment of America.
Not only is it bound to increase
English influence, but the profits of the

LAST May Bismarck ordered the sup
preston of the well known socialistic
organ, the VoIks Zeitung. The next
day the paper appeared with a new
name. Again it was suppressed, and
again it reappeared with an altered
name. This was repeated several
times, the paper not missing a single
issue. The matter got into the courts,
and the judge has just decided that the
paper published under different title
was different one from that con-
demned by the chancellor, and the
editors were accordingly discharged.

A hungry fellow, Office hungry of
course, called on Senator Plumb the
other day, and asked for place as
mail agent. He was told that such ap-
pointments came under the civil ser
vice rules, and that he would have TO
comply with the rules and undergo an
examination. For that reason the sem
ator could do nothing for him. That
was enough. He didn t want any ex-
aminations in his. He then asked the
senator to get him appointed letter
carrier in the city. Again he was
told that the senator could do
nothing, as that was a power
resting wholly with the postmaster.
By this time the poor fellow began to
wonder what in the ''Sam HIP a SEN
ator was good for, if he had no more
power than that. Looking at a toddIer

Petitions.
Communicated

EDITOR NEws.-The right of the
people to petition the authorities and
to have their requests or remonstranc-
es respected is of paramount import
ance and should be strennously insist
ed upon. At times, it is the only way
by which community can make
their wishes or grievances known, and
it should be jealousy guarded as vi
tai necessity in our government. The
old heroes of colonial times gave as
one of the many reasons that justified
rebellion, the contemptuous treatment
of their prayers to the mother coun-
try. 1--WE have petitioned" exclaimed
one of the most eloquent of the apos-
ties of liberty, I'VE have petitioned,
we have Frustrated ourselves at the
foot of the throne only to receive, etc.
and the '.OId Man Eloquent" dead
locked the national house of represen-
tatives many weeks, demanding a
hearing for petition, to the granting
of which he was bitterly opposed.
But while the right OF petition
should at all times be held sacred as a
corner stone in the temple of liberty,
it should also embody the petitioners,
sentiments carefully weighed and
firmly grounded, and there is no surer
way to bring the petition into disre-
spect than to recklessly sign anything
that is presented SO long as it does not
unfayorabIy affect the signer.

them some wholesome truths. stick

Sit down on the pestiferous dema-
gOgues that infest their ranks and
keep them in a continual ferment.
Quit shaking their fists and hurting
cobble stones at the world, Quit quar-
reIing among themselves, if they would
unite against corporations. These are
some of the things they must do if
they would do anything serviceable.
Their reform begins at the ballot box
and ends there. To know how to vote
for their own good, is all that is re-
quired to procure for them whatever
they want in reason. Urging them to
stand together, the Herald says:
1.-THE working classes can hold the
balance of power in almost any cleo
ton: but they are like JumbO-a huge,
unwIeldy creature who doesn't know
his own strength. Poor Jumbo was
maltreated by his keeper, who drove
the prod into him until he roared But it
all ended in a roar. If he had had sense
enough he could have knocked his
keeper over the ropes. Being nothing
but an elephant, however, he let the

WoRKINGMEN justify labor organic
atiOns by saying that the encroach-
ment ON their rights by sNulless cor
porations, make them necessary.
What do the trusts and combinations
say? Why, that labor Organizat ions
compel them to get together in self
defense. That this latter statement is
not true, is very clear when we re-
member that as soon as II trust is
formed, the first step taken is - ad-
vance the price of its product. THIS
argument of self defense put forth by
the trusts, is like that other one ad-
vanced by the protected barOns, who
say that the object of the tariff is not
to enrich them at all, but to give the
workingman higher wages. Viewed
separately, the two arguments sound
plausible. Bring them together and
consider that both are made by the
same men and what do we find? Why
this, that the protected barons as in
dividuals are avowedly, the warm
friends and protectors, under the gov
eminent of the laborer. But some
how the laborer distrusts them, and
manifests disposition to trample on
their rights, and SO they are compelled
to protect themselves against the peO-
pie they are constantly befriending
and paying high wages to, by organic
ing trusts and combines. What
