or for Chicago.

Professor William R. Harper left this city on an early train yesterday morning for Chicago. A few moments before his departure he intimated to an intimate friend, so it is said, that when he reached Chicago he would make his decision known regarding accepting the presidency of Chicago's new college and that an answer would be in the affirmative.

Court Notes.

The Wallingford case of Luke Martin vs. Terrence O'Reilly, which was to have been concluded in the common pleas yesterday, was settled out of court. Martin is a ma son and took a sub-contract to do the ma sorry under Gallagher and Pugh, who had a contract to build house for O'Reilly. Martin did not receive his pay from Gala gher & Pugh, and so bought mechanics lien for $110 upon O'Reilly, as the statute provides.

 were also sighted and carefully explored. To these Block gave the name of archipela- goes. Farther eastward and near the cen ter of Long Island Sound he discovered and located two islands about the position of the middle grounds now off Stratford. On these 8 lighthouse has been lately built by the United States government (to mark this danger) for navigators, as these islands since Blocks time have been gradually washed away, although they have been seen to lie bare at low tides within the re- membrance of men now living and known to the writer.
 To these islands Block gave the name of De Kees, and as they are alluded to repeat edly as one island instead of two, on . chart made by A. Wander Donek in 1856, their existence then was certain. It ie probable that Block landed on these islands and located their latitude by meridian observation and longitude by a system of calculations used by navigators of his day, which was not always exact, but accu- rate enough for all practical purposes. From these islands in full view over the coast line were seen continuous ranges of red colored hills, whose outlines and situa- tions seemed to point out the existence of large river extending far back into the interior and tidal harbor of great magni- tude, inviting exploration. Block explored these islands and named the river R. Ven den Rodenbergh, ,now the Housatonic. This name no doubt was suggested by the ap- pearance of two of our most prominent bluffs, East and West rocks (as they were seen studding the coast range and viewed to the northward from these islands over the mouth of this river or from vessels deck in the vicinity, and Stratford point, from the posision, might then have been easily taken for the commencement of the west shore of the entrance of the harbor of

The Democratic convention at
Harrisburg adopted on Thursday one
of the most extraordinary platforms
ever sent out from a political council.
1t consists for the greater part of an
arraigument and denunciation of the
Republican party of Pennsylvania,
not for assaults upon the Constitution
or the liberty of the citizens, not for
contemptuously setting aside the
teachings of the fathers of the Repub-
lie, not for any of the noble and great
minded crimes that Americans are ac-
customed to see roundly denounced
in party platforms, but for plain, vul-
gar, dirty stealing, and plenty of it,
The worst of it is that the Pennsylvan-
ia Democrats tell the truth about
their Republican opponents in this
platform, the sober truth, largely
proved already or officially stated and
on the way to judicial demonstration.
Neither party in any State has ever
before given its opponents warrant for
such terrible Indictment. But the
felonies of Republican Office holders
in the State Of Pennsylvania have all
come to pass naturally as an orderly
growth from seeds sown and carefully
tended. For nearly a quarter of
century the party submitted to boss
rule. The Camerons had their way
in the State until Quay came to the
fore, and he speedily made much
worse what was bad enough before.
Quay was a thief, but the Republicans
of Pennsylvania continued to honor
and trust and obey him long after his
embezzlement of public funds had be-
come notorious. Under such leader
ship and with such an example, is it
strange that other Republican office
holders have stolen the public funds
and have gwen Democratic Convcn-
ton the opportunity to arraign the
whole party as rotten and unworthy
to be trusted with the admiration of
public affairs New York Times.

It Keeps on Working.

The Cotton Manufacturers Associa.
ton will soon close down the mills al
Fall River. 1t took the first step on
Wednesday, when by vote of twenty
nine out of the thirty-three corpora.
tions represented in the combination
it adopted resolution with this con-
clusion:
Your Executive Committee believes
that the time has come when some
action should be taken toward reducing
the cost of production, and in order
to bring the matter definitely before
you for consideration, unanimously
recommends that a reduction in the
wages Of operatives be made to take
effect October 5, 1891.
The protection for these corpora
tons was increased by an increase OF
taxes through the Mckinley bill, and
since that bill was introduced there
has been a decline Of upwards of z
cents pound in the price of raw cot
ton.
So, though there is higher fine fol
buying cotton goods, though these
corporations pay the cotton grower z
cents pound less for the raw material
than before the Mckinley bill, they
resolve that the time has come to cut
wages again, and they set the date fol-
the cut. To see what wages are now
paid, the Republic turns to page 141
of Massachusetts official Statistics
of Manufacture" issued in August
and finds there that in 1877 of these
factories in 1890 there were 1912
employees at under So week." aDt

Winans Approved.

West Bay City Post; Leaving
politics out of the question, Governor
Winans has saved the peoples pock-
cts, and all his opponents can do is to
cry "stingy', "mean" etc. Had he
been less careful of the public moneys
the cry would have been extravaganza
and ultimate bankruptcy. Glasses
set by partisan opticians are not in
tended to display anything good in a
political opponents acts. But the
people know when a man is more
careful in protecting their interests
than in using his official position and
public funds to secure his party in
power. TO the Independent observer
Governor Winans has proved himself
to be a man Of the people and for
them. He has not feared to expose
himself to the ridiculo Of partisan
schemcrs who are ready TO sacrifice
the people and squander their money
in order to secure selfish ends. The
cutting down Of expenses and the re.
duction of taxes is Il good way in which
to build a monument to the people.
Michigan farmers aud Michigan bust
ness men are not so flush with money
that they can afford to allow them
selves to be robbed with high taxation.
While disgruntled politicians-idle
drones, who live by tapping the public
barrel-have nothing good to say of
our farmer governor, the masses of the
people, regardless of political leanings,
have the greatest respect for his bold
and conscientious course in all that
would tend to increase the burden of
the people.

How MKinley Was Fooled.

Another chapter in regard to the
tin-plate hoax sprung by Maj. McKin-
ley at Piqua, o., last Thursday even
ing, and which was heralded by the
Republican press throughout the coun-
try, has become known. To secure
the location of the rolling mills and
its adjunct, the Cincinnati corrugated
iron works, the City of Picqua entered
into contract with the gentlemen at
the head of these enterprises to furnish
them free gas for fuel for stipulated
number of years, the said fuel gas to
be used only in running the works
for the purpose indicated in their cor
porated titles. Last Thursday Messrs
Hicks and Batolle, who are at the
head of the above works, borrowed
500 pounds of pig lead from Capt.
Keifer, superintendent of the Piqua
water works. The next day McKin-
ley came, and under the protection of
C,l. Orr, Messrs. Hicks, Ellis and
others he was taken to see the Piqua
mills make American tin.plate. The
major saw the steel plates rolled.
They have been doing that for years
in thousands of places throughout the
country. And then he saw these
plates dipped in American block tin,
melted, and as finishing touch run
through rollers to give them Welsh
polish. This all done, there lay before
him sheet of tin made from the pro-
ducts of American workman, so he
said.
Had the matter stopped there Piqua
iron would have gone on serving as
good Republican argument, but like
the other reported manufactures of
American tin plate, it in the end, has
proved a hoax. Capt. Keifer, super
intendent Of the water works, and Mr..
Smiley, editor of the Leader, thought
there was colored man in fhe wood
pile somewhere, and this is how they
unearthed him: Messrs. Hicks and
Batelle, of the Corrugated iron works
and the rolling mill, were sent for.
They came and were told by Mr..
Smiley, that he would have their con-
tract with the city annulled on the
ground that they were exceeding the
rights of the contract in manufacture
ing something not named in the con-
tract, unless they confessed the "tin
fake" Messrs. Hicks and Batelle
were brought up standing. They then
and there confessed that they had
taken the steel plates that they manu-
facture and dipped them in bath Of
melted pig lead borrowed from Capt.
Keifer, then rolled them to secure a
polish that would make them look like
the imported tin, and that in fact there
was nothing about the tin plates made
in the presence of Mckinley that
