STRIKERS TO STAMPEDE.
ENGLISH SCABs DISCOURAGE THE
SCOTCH RAILR0ADERs.
Money Was Sent Freely but No Steps Taken
to Stop the Flow of Non-Union Men
ALVEY Debate in Parliament About It
rBr CABLE TO THE prsrArcH.,


LONDON. Jan. 24.-English trade unions
continue to send money generously to the
Scotch railway strikers, but they have rem
dered no help in the more important direc-
tion of stopping the supply of "scabs"
from England. The result is that the rail-
way companies are slowly but surely filling
up the places of the men on strike, and in
about another week they will be in po-
sition entirely to dispense with their
old workmen. Two of the three companies
have practically already arrived at that
stage when strikers are naturally much dis
couraged. Defections from their ranks are
OF daily occurrence and the probabilities
point to an early and general stampede. The
Scotchmen have made a gallant fight and
they would have been victorious had they
been properly supported by their fellow
unionists in England.
The Scotch strike was made the occasion
of the only interesting debate that has taken
place in the House OF Commons this session.
Mr.. Charming, sound Radical member for
Northampshire, moved resolution and
supported it in a powerful convincing man
ner, calling upon the Board of Trade to
make regulations for limiting the hours of
labor Of railway workmen. Several Tories
representing industrial constituencies spoke
in favor OF the resolution, but when di-
vision was taken they were coerced by the
whips from voting for it, and the Govern
ment sought to get out of the dilemma by
suggesting that the question should be re-
ferred to a select committee.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, President Of
the Board of Trade, more courageous than
some OF his ministerial colleagues and some
what to their alarm, denounced the 1esolu-
ton as dangerous and likely to lead to the
State purchase of railroads, socialism and
other dreadful things. But the Radicals en-
couraged by Tory dissensions and by a
breezy speech from Sir William Harcourt,
pressed the matter to a division and Gov
ernment defeat was only averted by the mar
row majority of IL.

"King Kalakaua was often called Dave
by the natives. OF course, they always did
so behind his back. The fact is, David
Kalakaua was not of royal lineage, and
his people all knew it. The death of
LunaIilo, in 1874, ended the dynasty of
the Kamehamehas, and made necessary
the election of successor by the Legisla-
ture. Kalakaua was chosen and began new
dynasty. Kalskaua's first public Office was
that of clerk in the Land Commission Board
at a salary o 81, 200 q year. He lived on
that sum without going into debt; yet after
the adoption OF the new Constitution in 1887

A DEAD ARCHBISHOP.

He Was the Son of Shoemaker and Always
Proud of 1t.
BY CABLE TO THE oIsPArcz-,
LONDON, Jan. 4.-Cardinal Archbishop
simor, Prince Primate Of Hungary, who
died in bis palace at Grau yesterday morn
ing, was tine son of poor shoemaker, and
he always alluded to his humble parentage
with pride. The revenues of his arch
bishopric amounted to more than $500, 900 a
year, and it was spent In building churches,
founding schools, orphanages and aims
houses in Hungary.
He was at one time great favorite Of the
Austrian Emperor to whom, however, he
gave mortal offense by demurring to the
reading of masses for the repose of the soul
of q suicide, the Grown Prince Rudolph.
Another prelate, Bishop Schlauch, volun-
tarily ordered masses throughout his diocese,
and imperial gratitude will certainly secure
for him the vacant archbishopric.

PARIS, Jan. 25.-Another Joan d'Arc
drama by Joseph Fabre, author of Life

at the Chatelet Theater. Madam Weber,
of the Theater Francais, will assume the
title role.
1t is understood that A. NJ. Palmer, Of
New York, last summer contemplated ar
ranging for the first production OF this play,
to take place at one OF the New York thea
ters. Madam Weber was at that time ready
to cross the Atlantic, but for some reason or
other the arrangement seems to have been
broken of.

A MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT.
Libel to Prevent the Central Bank Beine
Made . Depository.

Made depository.
Alexander Gilfillan yesterday filed bill
in equity against the county of Allegheny,
James A. Grier, Controller, John A. Bell,
Treasurer, and the Central Bank of Pitts
burg. Gilfllan states that he is taxpayer.
The bill is filed to restrain the Controller
from appointing the Central Bank as the
depository for the county funds. According
to the law, 1t is stated, it is the duty of the
Controller to advertise for proposals for in
terest on the current daily balances Of de-
posits of all county funds. At the proper
time the Controller advertised, but the ad-
vertisements, 1t is asserted, were misleading.
In some papers it read that the bids would
J be received mp to P. M. January 13, while
in other papers it read up to January IA
There was but one proposal received on JAN
uary 13, that Of the Central Bank. The
Union National Bank offered its proposal
on the 14th, but 1t was not received.
The Controller, 1t is stated, threatens to
select the Central Bank as the depository,
and for the best interest of the taxpayers the
court is asked to restrain him from so doing.
Such other relief as may be deemed proper
is also asked.

Occupation Tax.

The merchants of Albuquerque,
as we'll as those OF every other
town in the territory, will endorse
the Citizen in its demand upon the
Legislature to repeal the present
obnoxious occupation tax, which
bears very unjustly upon the mer-
chants of this territory, but does
not affect any other class. 1t will
be remembered that one of the
most effective arguments against
the proposed constitution in the
campaign Of lost summer, was the
fact that in one of its provisions it
gave the legislature the power to
levy an occupation tax. This was
obnoxious to the people, and very
justly so, and probably did more
than any other one thing to cause
the rejection Of that instrument at
the polls by an overwhelming ma
jority. Yet We have now upon our
statute books provision for an
occupation tax of the most objec-
tionable character-one which
places burden upon the most en-
terprising class of citizens and ex-
empts everybody else; and yet we
have failed to discover that any
general movement has been made
in the legislature by either of the
great parties for the repeal Of this
obnoxious provision. That our
merchants should be subject to
special tax for the privilege of do
ing business while men in all other
occupations are exempt, Is abso-
lutely unjust. No argument is
necessary to establish this fact; it
carries all the evidence that is re.
quired upon its face; it is partial
and discriminating, laying a bur-
den upon ono class of citizens for
the benefit Of others, and the press
ent Legislature should not adjourn
until it has wiped it ont. Either
place tax upon every occupation
or upon none. Do not compel a
few to pay for the whole. Let law
yers, doctors, blacksmiths, carpen-
ters and sheep herders also be re-
quired to pay for the privilege of
doing business In the territory, or
else let those who deal in dry
goods, groceries. groceries, drugs
and hardware be exempt. Let all
classes stand upon the same level.
Let us not discriminate against tho
few for ths benefit of the many
Citizen.

! Fsoo VtSo'.
The executive committee of the
Wool Consumers assocIatirn oi
New England has issued bulletin
containing the following;
Every one admits that the las,
election turned upon the tariff is
sue, and the popular decision was
more clear and emphatic than any
other within the last thirty years
or more. That decision meant free
raw materials and relief for the
taxed necessaries of life. II did
not mean free trade Or free manu-
factured goods, both of which are
practically out of the question,
considering the state of our finan-
ces. The democratic party will be
under the necessity of putting
wool on the free list. That party
is thoroughly committed to this,
and the economic arguments in its
favor are overwhelming. In 1888
the mass of wool manufacturers
arrayed themselves in hostility to
free wool, because in part they fear
ed free goods from the revengeful
wrath of wool growers, and in part
because they hoped that reputli-
can congress, elected by their help,
would give them all they asked for /.
1t did give them all they asked for,
and the gift was fatal. The wool
growers, really few in number, on
whom they relied, have proved of
no avail against the voice of the
people, educated by the mere be-
ginning of the tariff discussion.
1t is for the interest of more than
60.000,000 people of this country
that wool should be free. The cost
and the quality and the real value
of their clothing depend upon it.
1t is wiser not to array ones self
in opposition to such an over
whelming interest. Free wool is
is not only sure to come, but 1t is
the surest and only permanent
foundation for the prosperity OF
the wool manufacturer. Every
knows it, and would
have SAID so Lad he dared to. 1t
is safe for him now to express his
honest convictions. 1t is matter
Of business. Let him take it out
Of politics.
