FAIRFIELD.

An example of the summary way in
which the railroad treats employees who
do not answer its requirements was Civ
en-, last week. A company of Italians,
200 to 220, went on strike in Fairfield,
claiming that they had right to live
where they pleased and saying that they
wanted to live in Bridgeport, in Little
Italy, Willard street, East Bridgeport,
being committed daily. This the railroad
refused and promptly discharged every
man. The new force will board at the
company's shanties near the acid works
and receive the same wages as their
predecessors, 81 30 for nine hours. In
addition to the strike, an incipient riot
was in progress and knives, revolvers
and stones were ready over a dispute
between Antonio Loche, Leonardo Eng
fish, Peter Vervillo, three Of the employ
es, and Leonardo Shinto, an Italian boss
in charge of the shanties. Shinto was
assaulted and swore out warrants for the
arrest of the trio. Sheriff Pike, in whose
hands the warrant was placed, met the
pay O0A az l. stii hCIA anu PiOCCCdCA WltA
it to East Bridgeport; not finding his
men, he searched the saloons in Willard
street, where two, LOche and English,
were found. The third was not appre-
hended until Monday, when he appeared
at the trial Of the other two. Those
first arrested were bailed from South
port Jail, bonds of $50 being furnished.
Mondays trial, before Justice B. B.
Brothwell, occupied the greater part of
the day and the upper room of the Town
hall, where the trial was held, was crowd
ed to suffocation with Italians. Judge
Glover prosecuted aud called five wit
nesses; Judge D.B.Lockwood Of Bridge
port defended and called six witnesses.
The testimony of each had to be taken
by an interpreter. The evidence showed
that both plaintiff and defendants were
at fault, but Justice Brothwell imposed
a fine of $5 and costs on Vermillo and 81
each on English and Loche, with costs
added. The charges we're promptly paid.

Onions and other country produce
show slight upward tendency, sufficient
to cause the farmers heart to rejoice.
Reds and whites are Of course in the
lead, but whites appear to have lost their
reputation for fabulous prices and are
worth from "a so to 81, according to
quality; few bring ~. Reds are $3 IS
to a. 80 and, it is thought, will soon be
nearly equal with whites. AS an in
stance, it is cited that consignment of

to glut the entire New York market.

Warner. 1t is his fifth year as rector of
the parish, during which time the parish
has grown steadily, SO that now it is sad
ly in need Of parish building to accom-
modate the Sunday school. Many Guilds
are now connected with the parish and
these supply thousands of papers, books,
magazines, clothing and other aid to the
sick, needy and also to unfortunates con-
fined at the jail. Christ church is now the
leading parish in the work and its rapid

With the strong opposition expressed

their use. which is no more than right.
If our city authorities cannot act fairly
in the matter, then meeting of the citi-

this question should be voted on by the
public in order that both parties may
have fair play.

Of laden vines and fruit trees were
totally destroyed, and cattle and
granaries were swept away. In Con-
suegra alone 1000 cattle were
drowned, and their decaying car
casses, lodged among the debris Of the
houses, are menace to the lives OF
the survivors, who, aided by large
corps of engineers and soldiers, are
rapidly recovering and giving burial
to the unfortunate victims Of the dis
aster. In many cases entire families
and their relatives have been drowned,
and their lands, which have reverted
TO the state, are to be re-sown and
harvested for the benefit of the peo-
pie of the valley who have lost their
all, the labor implements and seed
being provided by the Government.
Many of the interior provinces were
cut off from the rest Of the world,
being entirely surrounded by water,
bridges over the streams having been
swept away.
The local stock of food in those PROV
1nccs was almost entirely exhausted,
and the sanitary and relief CORPS
were unable to reach them. The
government has done all within its
power for the relief Of the sufferers.
The Bank Of Spain and numerous pri-
vate banks have donated large fund,
and an appeal TO citizens of other por-

FREE LABOR IN THE SOUTH
1t Has Proved More Beneficial than tho
Slave system Could Ever DO.

1T Has Proved More Beneficial than the
Slave System Could Ever DO.
Prior to the civil war the South
based its prosperity on cotton and to-
baccO and thought that with cheap
slave labor it could become the mas
ters of the markets Of the world.
The South was merely to grow these
commodities; its neighbors, foreign
and domestic, were to manufacture
them. The war came and freed the
slave, and history records that free
than the slave system could ever do.
The cloth, no less than the fiber, is a
source of Southern prosperity and the
probabilities are that in few years
cotton and tobacco viii not be the
chief sources of Southern wealth.
Between 1852 and 1859 inclusive
the average cotton yield Of the South
was little over 5000, 900 bales, eX-
cept in 1856, when it was under, or
1892, 900 bales. In 1860 the number
OF bales had risen 10 1923, TO, or
more than three-qua t1rs Of million
in excess Of any crop ever before
raised in single year. There were
rumors OF coming struggle with
the North that season, and they in
duced extraordinary planting. For a
few years after the close Of the war
the general poverty Of the people and
the undetermined relations of the
whites and blacks caused q reduction
OF the cotton crOD. but in 1873 the
yield was over 1000, 900 bales, and in
1880 it was over 100000. Eight
years later there were over 1000, 900
bales gathered. In 1SS9-90 the yield
was 7,297,117 bales, averaging 1913. IA
pounds per bale, against a crop in
1SSS-S9 Of 5000, 2S4, averaging 497. O6
per bale. The increased growth Of
tobacco in the South is shown in the
comparative returns Of the crops OF
1879 and 1883. In the former year
Florida raised 81, 1872 pounds; in the
latter, 4S8,075. In 1879 the crop Of
Kentucky was 171,120, 1874; lin 1889,
225, 403, 047. The increase in North
Carolina in ten years was 10000, 900
pounds, and only in Alabama, Vir-
ginia and Maryland was there a de-
crease Of production during the same
period. In these three States other
and more profitable industries di-
verted capital from the raising of to-
bacco, and they are all infinitely more
prosperous. now than they were ten
years ago, their industries being more
diversified.

SIGNS OF EUROPEAN DEcAD-
ENCE.
The Economical and Political Prospects
OF the Old and New Worlds.

The Economical and Political Prospects
of the Old and New Worlds.
In recent number Of Paris pc
riodical an American contributor con-
trasts the economical and political
prospects of Europe with those of the
United States. He starts with the
assumption that the best way to de-
termine nations grade OF civiliza-
tion and possibilities of progress is
to compare Its annual outlay for the
education of the mass of its inhab-
itants with the other expenditures
provided for in its budget, and es-
pecially with the sums disbursed with
view to war. Beginning with Ger
many, we find that to schools lex
elusive Of universities, which are to
large extent maintained by private
endOwments and fees) only about
SO, 900, 900 are devoted by the state.
Against this insignificant outlay we
are to set nearly SlS5, 900, 900 annu-
ally disbursed for military and naval
purposes. In the dual monarchy Of
Hungary the army and navy
cost $64, 500, 900 a year, while only
So, $50, 900 are allotted to education.
In Italy the situation is more deplor-
able, for the subjects OF King Hum
bert have to pay almost 800, 900, 600
yearly for the protection OF their
country, and can only afford TO spend
"a, 900, 600 on the system OF public in
struction, exclusive OF the universe
ties. France is doing more for the
next generation, although the sum
annually allotted TO the public schools
S2l 900, 900 in round numbers) is very
far from being adequate, and con-
traSts strangely with the Sl51, 900, 900
called for by the military and naval
estimates. Russia assigns to educa-
tional appliances nearly 81, 900, 900 a
year, or more than four times rs much
as Italy, though she spends yearly for
her army and navy 500, 900, 600.
Even in England the disproportion is
striking, for the army and navy cost
Sl56, 600, 600 year, while less than
S24, 600, 900 are laid out for public
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of the UNIVERSE
ties, most of which have funds Of
their own. The most melancholy ex-
hibit is made by Spain, where the
army and navy cost upward Of $780,
600, 900 year, whereas the govern
ment can only spare $1,000, 900 for
the liberal and technical education Of
the citizen.
Compared with the suspicious pros
poets Of the American republic, the
position Of Europe may be likened to
that of somnambulist, who, uncon-
scious Of his danger, is walking on
the steep roof Of house. Appalling
will be his awakening, for it will be
impossible to avoid plunging into the
