For the sake of getting in fling at Cor
gresham Lodge who is its especial antipa-
thy, the Lynn Bee, Democratic, has given
publicity to statement that is alike ridicu-
lous and false. Says the Bee:
While Mr.. Lodge is down in Maine stumping for
the reelection OF Tom Reed, we would suggest
that he spend one evening at South Berwick and
inform the lasters OF that town how protection
protects them. Ihe lasters there are earning as
much as So or 81 week.
The Bee is published in city where shoe
manufacturing is the principal industry and
one would imagine that for that reason
alone some little care would be taken to find
out the facts before venturing on state.

South Berwick shoe factory is prosperous

In proportion to its size as the Lynn facto.
ries do and paying good wages. Lasters
earn as much as $14 or SIS per week, work
ing by the piece and are not obliged to re-
main at the bench until six o'clock to do 1t
Some of the lasters are able to get out In the
summer season Ia the middle Of the after
noon once or twice in the week for trip to
the neighboring beach, still earning $14 per
week. 1t is well-known fact that wages
vary in shop paying by the piece. One
man who knows his trade and keeps himself
In condition to do his best at all times can
make double the wages In less time than his
next door neighbor who has only half
learned his trade and who has good many
bad days" The comparison of wages
between one place and another or
between one time and another is worth
little II the wages In question are paid
for piece-work. Nor should the amount
OF work done by some idle, ignorant or
dissipated man be taken as the standard
for the shop or place, even if the purpose of
the comparison is to show the iniquity Of the
protective tariff.

The New York Central Strike.

1t was announced yesterday that the labor
chieftains had agreed to order a general
strike on the whole Vanderbilt system Of
railroads, and the probability is that such
strike will soon be inaugurated. The public
are tolerably familiar with the beginning of
Luis trouble. Certain employees Of the New
iork central were discharged by the man.
asemeht' The Knights of Labor to which
suo'o men belonged believed that they
were discharged because they were members
Oh tnat organization, and that their dismissal
was Inc beginning Of movement to rid the
road OF all the mem who belonged to that
order. Vice President Webb denied that
such was the case and stated that the road
nsd no intention Of making war upon the
nnignts or any other labor organization.
Mr' fowdetly did not, however. fully credit
nis statement and asked MIR. Webb m insti-
'u'e an investigation at which the knights
might De represented. Mr.. Wehh ra,I,od
that the officers Of the road had ,nro,,,ln.os

Some months ago the PRESS pointed out
the possibility that the abolition Of the
moiety system of payment Of Canadian Gus
toms officials would result in dlminutlon of
the outrages that harass the American fisher
man. The Canadian papers, or some of
them. notably the Conservative organs, are
now taking the same ground. They say that
the moiety system, together with other bad
things were copied from the United States,
and that the Dominion would do well to 90
further and copy the subsequent action of
the United States government abolishing
the same system. Our conclusion, that the
American fishermen would be let alone, is
not theirs. They claim that their own peo-
pie would be saved from much vexatious
delay and annoyance, and that for the sake
of this, moiety should be abolished. Surely
system SO vexatious as to be offensive to
the people it is supposed to benefit ought to
be modified at least.

The Democratic campaign for license ap-
pears to be up hill work. Though the gentle
men who are running 1t are taking great
gains to keep their real purpose out of sight
and are proclaiming that vote for Thomp-
son is merely vote for resubmission and not
an endorsement Of license the brethren Of the
rural districts don't seem to see it that way.
Down in the Waldo county convention this
sort of STUFF was being talked by the managers
when rural delegate rose up and declared
that he thought the platform Of the second
Democaraticconventio meant more rum and
that he was opposed to It, In this county it
will be remembered that delegate from the
country sought to embody the same idea In
the resolutions, and had to be sternly re-
pressed. All over the State dissatisfaction
with the programme laid out by the rump
convention is cropping out and giving great
anxiety to the gentlemen who SO yaliantly
started In for license, but who are now pre-
tending that, all they want is an expression
of the people on the present liquor law. TIE
fear has seized upon them that the vote for
their candidate and platform will be so small
as to relegate them to the very distant rear
for good many years to come.

ESome of the papers, mostly of the Demo-
cratic free-trade stripe, are still atwork ac-
counting for the loss Of 1900 in the popuia-
ton Of this State, not seeming to be aware
Of the fact that the reported loss was an err
ror. The error has strayed across the line
into Canada and the ST. Stephen Courier re-
marks with apparent grief at the discovery,
''the market of sixty millions is evidently
not worth much" The Toronto Globe with
a larger supply of common sense. but yet
with that error before its eyes says sit is not
worth much for the purpose Of encouraging
agriculture in sterile region. Some Maine
farmers find that they can do better out

A FACT FOR THE CURIOUS.
[St. Louis Globe Democrat
There is food for thought In the fact that
the States which have increased their debts
during the last ten years are all Democratic,
with the single exception of Minnesota, in
which case there Is good and honest expla-
nation. The simple truth Is that Democratic
rule as general thing is, the most expensive
of all modern indulgences.

The discussion of the proper word to ex-
press killing by electricity now going on has
brought out the fact that even the word sex
ecution" long considered as the standard
expression for judicial killing is wrongly
used. The st. John Globe says: Although
now by usage referring to the final taking OF
of prisoner by death. the word originally
referred to the discharge or performance of
the warrant which contains the authority for
putting the convict to death. In other words,
1t is the death warrant which is executed
