Our modest but truthful assertion last
week that the MONITOR had nearly two
for one circulation az compared with his
paper seems to worry our Deighbor up the
street, but we are TIL inkful that he has not

Here is something about the Mckinley
bill which every one will say is good.
There are now beginning to appear in the
cutlery stores many knives and other ar
ticles on each of which is stamped the
word Germany" The Mckinley bill re-
quires this. Iu the Custom House and at
sea on their way back to Germany are
hundreds of thousands Of dollars worth of
such goods which are not stamped
Germany A large dealer in cutlery,
in discussing this effect of the bill. said
lately that the market had been flooded
with knives and cutlery of all sorts
stamped "providencs Cutlery Co." or
"New Bedford Cutlery Co." but neverthe.
less of German make and of such inferior
material that men who bought them VOW
ed they would never again buy an American
knife or tool. Our American cutting tools
are the best ia the world and hereafter
they i'll not suffer from unfair competition.
Yesterday afternoon, about 4 80. while
the streets were crowded with teams, a
pair of Crothers' Western horses harness
ed to a heavy open wagon became unman
| ageable in the yard, and throwing out the
driver, rushed up the lane and down the
| street. In front OF the MONITOR office
| they collided heavily with tue horse aud
carriage of Asa Engle, of Mullica Hill, in
| which were Geo. Dueli and wife. Engles
| horse was thrown down, and the shafts
and dash torn away, but the occupants
miraculously escaped serious injury. The
collision overturned the heavy wagon, and
with the standards dragging, the team
continued down Salem street, grazing the
carriage Of DR.. Patrick, hitched at the
corner, and smashing the shafts OF a road
cart in front of Mark Ayares. They were
stopped in front of VIM. B. Kirby's res
idence by unnng into a tree. Albert
Crothers, who was driving the horses, re-
ceived a cut on the head and severe bruises
when thrown out.
