SATURDAY SINNERS.
VERY LIGHT HEARINGS AT THE STA.
TIoR HOUSES. .

The Cool Spell Gains Things Down-A
Stern Father Sent TO the workhouse-
Fighters Knocked Out of the Ring
Stiff Sentences in Allegheny.
This cool spell must have blighted the
ambition of many of those persons in the
two cities who do not feel that they are in
society on Saturday night unless they get
either riotously or stupidity intoxicated.
The hearings before the different magistrates
were lightly attended and the cases were of
a very common character.
Magistrate Hyndman. at the Nineteenth
ward station, sent Charles McElligott, of
Bruce street, to the workhouse for 80 days.
McElligott was playing the role
of a stern father, and being opposed
to his daughter receiving the atten-
tions of James Hennessy, tried to
discourage the latter's devotion by soundly
thrashing him. The other six cases were
trivial. AT the Fourteenth ward Magistrate
Hyndman heard nine cases, SIX being dis
charged.
At the Central station there were %
prisoners. E. B. Dupuv for trying to OBJ
tain a fight, and AL Thompson, for being
more successful in the same quest, got 80
days piece. John Wilbery, charged with
assaulting Harry Goodman, and also with
stealing a pair of shoes, was remanded for
further investigation.
Magistrate McKenna heard % cases,
Magistrate Leslie and Magistrate Succop
2 cases.
Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, disposed of
"a cases. Pearl Wilson, the d3-year-old girl
found in company with crowd of men in a
shanty drinking, was sent to the workhouse
for 90 days Lizzie Griffiths, who was one of
the same party, was sent to Jail for ten days.
Charles Jones and John Jamison. for en-
gaging in a quarrel in house on Lacock
street on Saturday night, were fined $50 and
costs each. Mrs. Anderson, for being en-
gagged in the same row, was fined S25 and
costs.

A s0UTHsIDE EXPLOSION
Causes Considerable Excitement but Not
Very Great Damage.

Causes Considerable Excitement but MOI
Very Great Damage.
An explosion of natural gas that created
considerable excitement and almost caused
q fire, took place yesterday evening at the
corner of South Twentieth and Mary streets.
The Monongahela Gas Company are laying
a main along Mary street, and at the corner
Of South Twentieth had large hole cut in the
main where a connection is to be made with
Jones, Cavitt u Co. glass factory. Yester-
day evening young man in passing threw
a lighted match into the trench, after light
ing cigar.
Considerable gas had escaped from the in
secure joint and terrific explosion fol-
lowed. The flames shot into the air to a
height of several feet and ignited the fac
tory. An alarm was sent in from box 147
at once and the fremen, as soon as they
arrived, turned stream of water against
the building and kept it there until the gas
in the main was turned off. The damage to
the factory was slight.

night for an officer. The Rising Sun"

a session in q house on Water street, near
Wood street, for the purpose of initiating
three new members. King was afraid that
the recital of the secret work might be in
terfered with by some of the boys in the
neighborhood, and therefore desired police
protection. Lieutenant Dennison, who has
charge of that district, promised to see that
none of the rites we're interrupted.
Rising Sun Lodge has a membership of
40, and all the prominent Chinese in the
two cities belong to it.

Besick, when he applied for lodging at the
Seventeenth Ward Police Station, Saturday

cited the sympathies of Sergeant Logan and
was provided with quarters for the night.

peared at the station in search of his boy,

The borough of Edgewood voted Saturday,
on a proposition authorizing the School
Board to borrow s25, 900 for school purposes.
The vote was in favor of the question, 25 to
2, the lightness of the balloting being laid

THE NEW RULES.

There is not so much talk as there was at
one time about submitting the new rules
of the House of Representatives to the
Supreme Court, When Spe aker Reed first
counted members of the House as present
whom lie saw before lin, the Democrats
declared the decision an outrage. Some
leaders who do not take a close view of
such questions were confident that the de-
clsion was unconstitutional. But closer
view of the matter suggests the difficulty of
pointing out the provision of the Constitu-
ton which was violated by the counting as
present members whose duty it was to be
present and who actually were present.
The Supreme Court has had some knotty
cases to decide, but hardly one SO shadowy
as this. The Constitution, in SO many
words, gives the Speaker power to enforce
the attendance of members of the House, and
the inference is that he would be allowed
to count them as making up quorum after
he had secured their attendance

A SOUTHERN VIEW.

While New England is 10 an extent chang
ing front on the tariff question, the South is
coming round TO the old New England view
Of the value of protection. The Atlanta
Chronicle. only one of several Southern
papers. says: at VIII be disastrous day
for the whole country, and the South es-
pecially, when the home market, which is
the most profitable in the world is thrown
open TO foreign competition" From an
industrial point of view. several of the
Southern States are about in the position
the New England States were when the
protective policy was established. All
manufacturing industries are new in the
South and less able to compete with foreign
nations than the old, experienced and
wealthy establishments of the East Many
New England manufacturers are now say
ing that with raw material they can hold
their own with their foreign competitors,
but such competition would be fatal TO the
new Industries of the South. If the race
question were settled, there is little doubt
but that three or four Southern States
would vote with the party that promises
protection to American Industries.

FARM PRODUCTS.

a contemporary argues that there is no
oyerprodHction when the wants of the
whole world are considered. To an extent
this is true. If consumption in Europe,
Asia and Africa reached as high an average
as in this country there would be an increase
in the demand that would absorb The sup
ply. But production has TO be considered
rather with view to the ability of the peo-
pie of the world TO buy than to their wants.
If the Wheat-growers OF Russia and India
consumed as much of their product as the
American wheat-grOwer does, neither eoun-
try would have much left to export. But
as wheat is the one product which will al
ways command cash the Russian and In
dian wheat-grower sells wheat and lives on
some product less salabe in the general
market. 1t Is common saying in England
that the American prairies have ruined the
English farmer. American competition
has been and still is too much for him.
Agricultural lands have fallen in England
from 10 per cent in favorable localities to
50 per cent in others. The American wheat
grower, with his cheap fertile land and his
labor-saylng machinery. has placed wheat
IN the English market at rates below the
cost of production in England. What is
true of wheat is true TO less extent per-
haps Of breadstutfs in general 1t is pretty
certain that the American rate of pro-
duction will not continue much longer
One year with another we are consuming a
larger proportion OF our products. Land
under cultivation is wearing out and can
only be restored by the use of expensive
fertilizers, and the public domain is almost
exhausted. There remains but about TO-
C00,G00 acres of arabic land TO be brought
under cultivation, and the population is
growing as the area Of available land de-
creases. The low price of farm products
the last year is largely due to more than
average crops in the principal gran-grow-
ing countries of the world England, in
spite OF the fact that wheat-growing is one
year with another improbable, has for the
last three years produced 4 larger portion
Of her demand than in preceding years.

FOKEIGN-MADE GLOVES.

The New York firm of Mills & Gibbs sell
about 100000 worth of gloves each year
The firm imports directly about $780, 900 or
$4,000 worth aud buys the rest of agents.
The junior member of the firm tells why
they buy of agents. The firm itself has its
goods invoiced at their real value. The
agents they buy of are not so scrupulouS.
When an importer goes to Europe, accord
ing to Mr.. Gibbs the foreign manufacturer
asks him how lie shall invoice the goods for
the Custom-house. If told to invoice at the
true valuation he expresses surprise. The
rule is apparently to make a special in
voice for the Custom-house at perhaps one
half the true valuation. MI Gibbs, who
wants the duty taken off gloves, says
that a change from ad yalorem TO specific
duties would not help the matter, as gloves
range in cost from 81 30 to S24 a dozen, and
to impose the same duty on the low-priced
gloves as on high priced would be to tax
the poorest buyers five times as heavily as
the richest. There is a solution of this
glove problem which Mr.. Gibbs possibly
has not thought of. We make a pretty
good article of gloves in the United States
A sufficient specific duty would transfer
the industry to this country. The very
rich who will have Partisan gloves at what
ever cost would not mind a heavy duty.
The gloye-making business cannot well be
controlled by trust. Bat little capital is
required to commence with, and there is no
scarcity of glove-makers. Portions Of the
trade can be readily acquired and would
serve to give employment to some of our
unemployed women.
