A MOVEMENT for cheaper ocean post
age, which has been started in England,
will be welcome to hundreds of thou
sands of Americans of foreign birth.
Henniker Heaton, the English member
of parliament, has addressed to Post.
master General Wanamaker letter in
which he suggests that the rate on let
tiers from the United States to Great
Britain and Ireland be reduced from
five cents to two cents Per half ounce.
This concession, he says, would not in
volve any loss to the revenue of the
United States; in fact, he declares that
he is prepared to prove that the govern
ment would be amply justified in max
ing the reduction as commercial un-
dertaking. The interesting fact is
brought out in Mr.. Heaton's letter on
the basis of statistics furnished by the
post-office at New York, that both the
number Of letters and the weight of mail
matter dispatched from New York rc
Transatlantic ports were almost three
times as great in 1889 as they were ter
years before.

IN THEIR LITTLE NESTS.

Birds are Said to Agree, but Bohemian
Newspaper Men Arc Different.
A gentleman just from Bozeman informed
an INDEPENDENT reporter that some of the
newspaper men of that city are not dwell
ing in harmony to the extent that ought to
characterize brethren of the press. 1t
seems that George Aldrson sold his paper
to Rev. Livingston, who intended to run a
labor paper at Livingston. As soon as
Anderson sold out he slipped down to Liv-
ingston and purchased the Post. Where
upon the proprietor of the labor paper con-
cluded to remain at Bozeman. Some
trouble arose over the mailing type, who
Anderson claimed Livingston had no right
to use in trying to build up subscription
list. as he intended to call one of his issues
at Livingston the Montana Register and
hold the old subscribers. The people of
the labor paper looked at it differen tlv,
however. and on Saturday sent their paper
to the old subscribers of the Register. On
Sunday morning at the hour of six o'clock,
Anderson entered the office of the labor pa
per and removed a desk, table. chair and
some plate matter. A search warrant was
soon sworn out and all the property. with
the exception of the plates. recovered at
Alderson's house. Anderson was arrested
and held under bail of 81 600 to appear On
Saturday on the charge of burglary in the
second degree. Anderson claims that he
did not cell the things he took away. while
the labor people claim that they have a bill
of sale for everything in the Office.

An Underling ON tho stand-Testjmouy
Excluded by the Majority.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O,-In the Raum in
vestigation to-day Chairman Morrill, pro
c. eded to pass upon the question raised az
to the relevancy of testimony offered yes
terday by Cooper relating to the character
of the refrigerator company's stock and
ruled it ont. Lewis. the minority member,
entered protest against this narrow lin
itation, holding that the character of the
stock was one of the counter indictments.
Assistant Chief Bryant, of the pension Of
fee, testified that the completed cases
order expedited the settlement Of some
claims and retarded others. More claims
have been adjudicated under the order than
before it had been made. He knew of no
preference shown any particular attor-
ney. To Commissioner Raum the witness
said that while there had been q
larger output of claims under the new order
than before, there had been greater haste in
the preparation of cases and much rivalry
between clerks. He did not say the work
was improperly done. but called attention
to the fact that some examiners were dis
posing OF claims in less time than they
could be properly considered. The COM
missioner wished to know whether the wit
ness had tried to put stop to it. The wit
ness replied that he had not thought Of
putting q stop to it. The 81, 600 cases put on
the completed files by the Office had been
selected without partiality.
Judge Wilson said it had been said that
Cooper had signed large number Of blank
claims upon the pension Office for firm Of
pension attorneys, and he would like to
have Cooper make statement about it.
Cooper said he authorized his clerk to sign
a large number of calls for pension firms in
his districts, understanding that it had been
the custom. Perhaps there were 1900 or
1900 calls signed with his name When he
came to Washington he spoke to Chief
Clerk Deernan in the pension Office about
it and he doubted whether it was fair to call
up cases in that way. but he must act for
his constituents. Deernan told him to sign
the slips and he would do what he could
with them. Cooper did not think the slips
were equivalent to congressional call.
The attorneys he signed for had been neg
lected. He was told that Lemon at that
time had practically the control Of the PEN
sion Office. The witness felt then and now
that if he could do anything to help his
people he ought to do it. He felt they had
not fair chance with the attorneys in
Washington. Cooper asked the committee
to pass upon his resolution to extend
the scope Of the investigation. No
decision was reached and the committee ad-
iourned.

Morgans Resolution Directing the Ex-
change of Forfeited Mineral Lands.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Morgan
to-day introduced resolution directing
the senate conferees on the land grant for
fixture bill to insist that all mineral lands
granted to the Northern Pacific, except coal
and iron lands, be disposed Of under the
mining laws. tho same as if they were a
part of the public domain. Whenever the
Northern Pacific shall relinquish its title
to any of these mineral lands it shall re-
ceive in lieu thereof an equal amount of
agricultural and timber Glands. The con-
ferees are instructed further to insist upon
the provision declaring that the United
States retains the right to amend the act or
to hereafter declare further forfeiture of
Northern Pacific lands.
He also introduced resolution calling
upon the secretary of the interior for full
information respecting the number of suits
between settlers and the Northern Pacific,
the proceedings taken in them, whether the
railroad company changed the location Of
any part of its roads, whether the lands
were reserved along the line of this new Sec

road was definitely located within the time
fixed in it's charter.

STARVATION WAGES.

In answer to our inquiry as 10 What
reply the republican party could make
to the memorial of the Womens Ma
tiopal Industrial league setting forth
the wretched condition of women work
ers in Pennsylvania and New England
factories, the Journal gives this expla-
nation:
Had it not been and we're it not at pres
ent for the democratic agitation against
the protection of American Industries, the
women and children of the manufacturing
districts of the United States would never
have been called upon to work for the low
wages or to endure the hardships men,
toned in the memorial. Only by protec-
ton can the work of production in this
country go on at all, and trade has been
fearfully demoralized, great loss has been
inflicted on employers and employed, and
general uncertainty has been engendered
by the constant efforts of the democracy to
break down and destroy the tariff.
If this is the best answer the repub-
licans of Montana can give they might

of three and one-half to seven and one
half cents an hour under one of the
highest tariffs ever known in any civil
LIKED country. While the protective
duties have been many times increased,
wages have steadily diminished. For
twenty-five years the republican party
has controlled the tariff policy of the
country. There has never been a mo-
ment when it was within the power of
the democratic party to change it. Even
during the four years of Cleveland's ad-
ministration the republican senate
stood like stone wall against any re-
vision that would affect the monopo-
lists Of Pennsylvania and New England.
And now, with the republican party in
control Of every branch Of the govern
ment, with bill increasing enormously
the profits of the monopolists, the man
ufacturers are scaling down the wages
Of their half-starved women and chill
dren operatives. No wonder the women
say in their memorial, speaking of the
cloakmakers:
"Receiving themselves further pro-
lection of 80 per cent. on the ad valorem
duty, yet reducing in turn their women
workers pittances to a further reduc-
ton Of 25 per cent. seems like grinning
mockery and wanton cruelty
With Quay, the agent of the Penn
sylvania barons, cracking the whip over
q n1iant maiOritv in the aanata wit II
Reed, the tool of New England manu-
facturers, the dictator of the house, and
Benjamin Harrison, the beneficiary and
humble servant of the ,boodlers, in the
White house, it is mere drivel to talk of
democratic agitation disturbing any
body's wages. The trouble with the
wage earners of the country is that they
are at the mercy of the trusts and cor
rupt combinations that have been bred
by tariff system that is merely an Or
ganized scheme for public plumber.

Mr.. FIELD, the labor candidate for
congress, struck the keynote Of the
campaign when he demanded to know
what had become of the votes Of the
174 honest workingmen who cast their
ballots at precinct "a. You are right,
Mr.. Field. Who robbed those men Of
their sutfrages? Who denied to those
workingmen the most sacred right
guaranteed to them by the constitution?
