 Charlotte Smith, editor of the Working Women, Washington, D. C., has ad- dressed to the House Committee on Agriculture the following memorial on the stupendous adulterations of food by means of which Armour and such like are piling up scandalous fortunes:
 We represent the industrial women of theUnited State, an organization known as the Women's National Industrial League of America" The objects of the said organization are to elevate and dignify labor. Its motto Is ''equal pay for equal work" Its aim is to agitate, organize, and petition national and state legislation for the protection of the wage-women of America, and the amel- ioratiou of their condition; to expose frauds and shams; to denOunce fearlessly all adulterations of food, and to invoke the aid of the press in their behalf as | consumers and bread winners.
 We, the wage-women, represent three million of selfsupporting women in the l United States, and we think that the time has come when we should have some voice in the enactment of legis lation upon the non adulteration of that which the people eat and drink.

are driven to despair for want of employ ment, and boarding house keepers who place "rehned lard' and refined sewer tank butter on your boarder's tables, why will you throw obstacles too for midabIe to encounter" in the way of fraudulent manufacturers of butter and lard It IS too hard for them to con- template; after robbing the consumers for a quarter of century past of mil. Hons. they cannot possibly realize that you are in earnest now.
 And again, says MT Webster: If all the existing dealers in the country, who number, as before mentioned, early 250, GOO, should take out licenses for the purpose of selling "retined lard" under this bill it would bring in revenue of nearly SI00O,00 to the already over loaded treasury of the Government an- nually, and be an atillction on the people of the country"
 What say you, our farm mortgaged sisters of the Grange and Alliance '" and Patrons of Husbandry?" Will you insist upon putting pure cream butter upon the market, and ask for ''pro- tec:ion" for butter by taxing offal, cotton seed oil, wax and mud manufac ture of the compound adulterated, diseased swine, and gut grease, labeled Butterine," Oleomargarine,' and Pure Refined Family Lardy"
 Women of America, it is your duty to protect your famhes and your house. holds from consuming this vile stuff. Mark every Senator and Member of Con- gress, as also members of the several legislatures, that vote in the interest of this corrupt monopoly that is now being forced upon the people.
 Let us demand that all aduterated food be so designated upon the labels, in every State and Territory, and let us agitate and organize for that purpose, for in "union there is strength"

But, as body, the Nihilists athrm that the Russian commune should be the unit of the State and that the people should own the land in common, as well as all the fruits of industry, They are pitted against both Czardom and the middle class. The latter would go no farther than to throw off despotism and would retain private ownership of land and capital. The former would ca>t aside every form of despotism Tn econo. mics and politics. They are sensible of the fact that the private ownership of land and capital has made great strides since the emancipation of the serfs, and that the yoke of the Russian capitalist is even greater than that of the Russian serf lord. To-day the Russian peasantry are in state of misery unequaled.
 We have been asked recently why we concern ourselves with the Russian Nililists. In answer to this would ,ay that again and again our greatest men have concerned themselves with the op- pressed of other nations, such for inst ance, as Poland and Ireland. And hear | Comrade Robinson referred to the mot unchivalrous conduct of the Boston | Herald but to the shameless way in which it did up speech of woman at Faneull Hall'. He said: "We will some day force the great dailies to speak either on the side of capital and outrage or on the side of humanity the world over. One or the other they must do. If the press does violence to the plain instincts of humanity it will do it be- cause it wants to be damned"
 Referring to the Russian extradition treaty now pending b,fore the United States Senate Comrade Robinson sad: "We must see that no such treaty is made with Russia. If we would allow it there is no doubt that he Senate, like the British House of Lords, would make common cause-aye, even with the devil" Mir. Gladstone some years ago refused to have anything to do with the Kingdom of Naples on account of it's treatment of the Carbonari. He cut off all diplomatic relations, not because it was Naples, bu because 1t would be dishonorable for Great Britain to recog nze such Kingdom. In like manner we might we'll act towards Russia Al the same time we should not be bind to the despotic tendencies in this country We must bear in mind that we have here the Pinkerton thugs. In the city of Lynn not many weeks ago the State militia, willie gong through its ma nmuvres, put up barrcades to show what could be done if the people shoulc attempt to get something they ough not to have.
 Here Comrade Robinson referred tC Edward Noble; who said that "all who have obtained a message of freedom should reach out their hands to hell others to achieve the same thing II the language of Engels, ''the cause O. Socialism is the cause of humanity

CHICAGO MlLLlONAlRES.
An Aggregate Wealth of over Half q Bill lion Dollars Amassed in Fifteen
 Years by Two Hundred Men.


 Last week the Chicago Tribune pub lished list of two hundred men of that city, none of whom has fortune esti- mated a less than $1,500,000. Two, Mashall Field and Phillip D. Armour, are conservatively estimated to be worth $25,000,000 each; one, George M. Pullman, $l5,000, GOO; three, $l0,000,- GOO; four, $S,000,000, and so on. "Old Hutch" is valued at $6,000, 900. There are a few possessors of inherited wealth, but even in those cases the mil lions which have been gathered together were only dream prior to the great fire. Some of those mentioned piled up their money at the rate of $2, ,000, ,000 a year. In commenting on these facts the Tribune says:
 THE ESTIMATE IS CONSERVATIVE
 Here is sn aggregate of S5O6 300, ,000 divided among little over POO people. The average is something over T2 ,000,- 900 It ought to be less, or preferably, the number of milllonaires ought to be greater. It is more than probable that thirty or forty actual millionaires have been omitted: 1t Is certain that one hundred reputed milllonaires have been left out. The original list contained over three hundred names, but when it was submitted to several prorcInent bankers and persons in a position tO know just about how much a man Was worth, name after name disappeared until those given above were all that ! remained. It is reasonably certain that no one has been overestimated; in fact, the chances are that D per cent. of those | mentioned have been uuderestimated, l especially those rated above $ ,000 900. When It Is considered that Armour & | Co. do an annual business exceeding i $50, 900, 900, and that Mir. Armour's in terest Is perhaps three-fourths and ther stop to reflect that the profits cannot l fall below per cent, basis on which | to figure his wealth is furnished. Ht has been rated as high as S70, ,00U, ,000, al Eastern st, tistician putting his wealti at that figure, but this is undoubtedly excessive. In Chicago no one puts hin down for less than Sl0,000, 600. Int majority, however, considerately allow him S35, 100000 but $2j, 900 600 is per | haps as near the correct figure as 1t | possible to get.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Pressmen, Shake of those Unworthy
 Leaders.

In your issue of April 5, you announced the deplorable fact that the Adams and Cylinder Press Printers Association had been suspended by the New York Central Labor Union, because of general inatten. ton and the hiring of non union park for its annual picnic in violation of labor principles and of the constitution of the central body. In view of the immense benefits which this association has deriv ed from it's connection with the c. L. U., its inconsistency and ingratitude are the more striking. The records show that but a short time after it had obtained representation in that body, committee of the latter Was appointed, which, in conjunction with the representatives of the aforesaid Association. visited the following firms: Harper Bros, Harmon, proprietor of the Burr printing house, Mather G. o. Jenkins, and John F. Trow. All these employers were then paying various rates consider Gbly below the scale; but out of regard for the Central Labor Union they granted every reason able request. This ultimately resulted in complete revolution throughout tn trade. Many firms paid the scale with out any soliitation on the art of their pressmen, and hundreds of new mem bers were enrolled by the Adams and Cylinder Press Printers Association.
 The responsibility for inattention and the hiring of non-union park rests upon the members generally who have neglect ed to attend their meetings and allowed couple of dictatorial individuals to con duct their affairs in the interest of em ployers. The Adams and Cylinder Press Printers Assoclation is unquestionably composed of the very best pressmen II the country, and they should not place themselves at the mercy of couple o1 leaders imbued with nonunion prin ciples, reactionary in their views, depriv ed of the moral courage necessary to up hold the rights of labor, and working only for the salary attached to the office as shown by the bills they present fol every little item of committee work most of which is performed by others.

CHICAGO ClGARMAKERS.

Another "Siberian Outrage" in the City
 of Garry, Grinnell and Old Hutch.
 CHICAGO, April 10.-The Cigarmakers of Chicago won their strike in the Phoenix factory. It was question not of wages, but of strict union shop, and they are so far encouraged by their sue cess as to try and make Chicago strict union city for the cigar trade.
 There is now strike in the Columbia factory, which is the only large non- union shop in the city. Most of its pro- duct is taken by Franklin McVeagh, the wholesale grocer and anti-monopolist d la Thurber. Two days ago fifty-two bunch makAr~ talked out and gathered in the well known hall, 54 Lake street, where the present platform of the $. L. P. was adopted on Oct 12, 1889. They met a committee of the Cigarmakers' Union, stated that they had been receiv- ing only half as much per thousand as union men, and were about to adopt a resolution asking for admission to the union, when there was a commotion at the door. The men looked around and saw Mir. Vallens, the manager of the factory, and half dozen detectives forcing their way into the room. Backed by the authority of the law MT. Vallens boldly made his way to the front of the room and touched Frank Rempcaml and John Debow upon their shoulders The officers seized them by their arms and they were dragged out of the hall in spite of the protests of their compa nions.
 Mir. Vallens charged that both of them were on hand at the factory early that morning, and that by threats and intimi dation they prevented number of meI from goiog to work. The officers tool them before justice Lyon, who issued the warrant for their arrest, and they were held for trial in S300 bonds each They are now in charge of officers wh' will give them an opportunity to ge bail.
 After this episode vote on the reso lution was taken and 1t was decided t apply for admission to the union.

In order to meet the requlre- ments of the consumers and the trade, large proportion is put up in 3, 5 and 10 pound tins, all of which are prohibited under this bill, and these packed in cases holding 60 pounds each. There are also large quantities put up in other tins and wooden packages, ranging from 10 to 50 pounds each, and all these small pack ages would require separate brands, stamps, and labels, and each individual history separately recorded, compelling stupendous amount of labor and clerical work that is actually appalling to contemplate"

LONDON, May 6.-Although the gov

unite in prassing the conduct Of the

the general good order which prevailed,
1t the same time calling attention to
the turbulence which has almost with
out exception characterized similar
manifestations on the Continent. The
Conservative papers greatly undercsti-
mate tho numerical strength OF tho
gathering, and are inclined to
ascribe the present agitation
for an e~ight-hour day and the
amelioration Of the condition OF the
workingmen in other respects. to causes
for which the present government is in
no way responsible. but IS anxious to
modify or remove. As to the probable
results Of the demonstration these journ-
ais profess to believe that they will be
small in comparison with the extent OF
the demands, but there Is no doubt that
The country has been profoundly inn

PITTSBURGH, Pa. May 7.-Yesterday
afternoon the library committee OF the
City Council called upon Andrew Carne-
gle. The matter Of equalizing repre-
sensations on the library committee
was discussed and satisfactorily ad.
justed. Mr.. Carnegie made an eloquent
address concerning his proposed library.
The site most favored for the main
building is Bedford-avenue water basin,
owned by the city. located on the bluff
in the rear OF Union station. This
building will consist Of . library and
music hall.
Mr.. Carnegie also said that IL one Of
the branches Of the main library build
ing should be located in the vicinity os
the new Schenley Park. he would add
to his original offer a gallery Of Amer.
lean art, his idea being to erect an cle-
giant hall Of large dimensions to be used
entirely as . gallery for art purely
American. To maintain this building
Mr.. Carnegie proposes to cxpend not
less than fifty thousand dollars annual
ly in the purchase Of art works during
his lifetime and provide In his will for
an equal 0 when he dies. This
institution Mr.. Carnegie desires to be .
perpetual to himself.
