A man and a woman have been arrested
in Brooklyn for carrying on a series of par
ticularly despicable robberies. They have
been making speciality all summer of go.
ing at night to various cemeteries, stealing
expensive floral tributes from graves and
selling them. few days ago they stole
flowers valued at about 81 900 from the
grave of well-known politician, which led
to their arrest and confession. They were
gardeners and florists and could therefore
easily dispose of the stolen flowers. To make
the punishment fit the crime these people
should be sent for long term of years to a
place where there are no flowers to steal

In their biennial report, just issued
the trustees of the state insane asylum make
a plea for additional provision for the iu-
sane and an increased allowance for their
maintenance. The capacity of the present
asylum at Milledgeville is 1850 patients.
This limit was reached some time ago and
has since been kept up, SO that admissions
can be made only as vacancies by deaths or
removals occur. These vacancies appear
to occur at less frequent intervals than
cases of lunacy are reported. so that there
are now over 100 applications for admis-
sion to the ASYLUM which cannot
be granted. The unfortunates, rep
resented by these applications
are confined in county jai!s and poor houses
where they cannot be given the proper
care that their cases call for To remedy
this the trustees recommend that an imaEi-
nary line be drawn through the state, and
that another asylum be erected at some
point distant from Milledgeville, on the
other side Of the line, and that all patients
be sent to the asylum on the side OF the line
on which they have previously resided. In
the matter of maintenance for the last
fiscal year the cost per lem has been a frac-
ton over 80 cents. This, the trustees say,
Is not sufficient amount TO properly care
for the patients, and ask that the appropria-
tion be increased to 40 cents per diem,
which is less than is provided by a majority
Of the states for the care of their INDECENT
insane.

One Instance Of Increased wages

One Instance of Increased Wages.
A meeting of thirty Fall River manufact-
urers of cotton goods was held on Thurs
day for the purpose Of considering the FEAST
bility of advancing the wages Of their en-
ployes. No demand had been presented by
the operatives for increased wages. The
movement was entirely voluntary" on the
part of the mill men. After being in session
an hour the meeting adjourned, having
determined to make the advance. On the
vote 10 manufacturers voted ave. 10
refrained from voting. and voted no, but
all being members of trust the proposition
was carried. Here, it will be seen, is undis-
putable evidence Of wages increased under
mot by the operation Of the Mckinley
law.
There is, however, another side of this
matter. When the 5S-hour factory law
went into effect in Massachusetts last July.
taking two hours per week off the work
time or the operatives, the manufacturers
kindly refrained from reducing their paw.
Had reduction been attempted there
would have been a monster strike. But the
manufacturers prefer not to look upon a
pO9oADAo SIAAho as d ldOUOr In the matter,
They regard 1t as voluntary" increase of
wages Of about 5 per cent. The voluntary
increase made at the meeting on Thursday
amounted to 81 per cent. These two increases
added make quite a nice thing for the
operatives and a splendid showing for the
general prosperity of the trade under Nc
Kinleyism, according to the republican view
of the matter.
But that is not all there is In it. The sum
OF these increases only bring the standard
OF wages UP to about what it was in 1854
years before the Mckinley bill was ever
put on the stocks" so to speak. The July
voluntary increase, it will be remembered
was superinduoed by a state law lowering
the number or work hours and clinched by
the attitude of q solid labor organization
while the November increase was probably
superinduced by the nearness of election
day and clinched by the fact that the SPIN
ners' and weavers' associations had made
all arrangements to demand an increase of
wages, the alternative being d strike and the
closing of the mills
Thus, it will be seen, the Mckinley tariff
had nothing to do with the increase of
wages in this case. The truth is as Judge
Gresham said the other day, the tariff has
no effect whatever on wages.

The people at the headquarters of each Of
the great political parties announce Them
selves as confident, the republicans that
Harrison will be elected, and the democrats
that Cleveland is the coming man. But
there is a vast difference in the causes of
this general feeling Of confidence. The re-
publcans are confident that their force
methods and money will be sufficient to
elect their ticket, while the democrats are
confident that the people will assert them
selves and roll pan overwhelming majority
for their own candidate.

Neel's Anti,Mob Violence Bill.

The bin introduced in the House BY Rep
/ resentative Neel, Of Floyd county, ito sup
I press mob violence IN the state " is one that
/ should be carefully considered ty the mem
. hers before they vote for its passage. The
bill, 1t is said. is intended to be in line with
+ the recommendation of Gov. Northen that
/ "a more stringent law for the prevention Of
7 lynchIngs be enacted. But it appears that
tie Trainer of the bill has not solved the
problem of how to prevent mob violence
otherwise lynchings, and it is doubtful if
the measure is OF the kind that the gov,
er1or had in mind when he recommended
legislation on the subject
The preamble TO the bill sets forth that
there exists, or seems to exist, IL certain
parts Of this state, secret organizations of
men who from time to time appear in dis
guIse in the night time and attempt deeds
of violence, and sometimes kill and murder
citizens Of this state without cause OF for
re asons known only to themselves" From
this it would appear that white caps"
rather than lynchers-persons who, without
organization and actuated by impulse, 90
out and avenge crime with death without
due process of law-are the law-breakers
aimed at
Can it be true that there are organized
bands of white cps" in this state who do
the things alleged in the preamble to Repre-
sentative Neel's bill? Has Representative
Neel, or anybody else, proof to offer that
such gangs Of thugs exist? If there is such
evidence to be submitted, which will prove
conclusively the existence Of such bands Of
outlaws, then sos goo is a small enough sum
TO appropriate for their suppression.
In the absence OF positive proof that such
organizations exist, would it not be very
detrimental to the reputation of the state
TO pass such a bill? Its passage would be
official recognition of the presence in
Georgia Of such murder societies, when as
a matter of fact, it is doubtful if there is
any organization in the state that could
possibly be 80 classified
The governor should be assisted by every
means within the power OF the legislature
to put down lYnchings, and to punish those
who take part in them. But it does not APP
pear that Representative Neels bill is ex-
actly what is wanted.

The Adulteration of Wooden Goods.
In a speech delivered recently at Law
renee, Mass. Gov. Russell gave some facts
and figures which show why the increase in
the prices of wooden goods under the Nc
Kinley law has been no greater. The re-
publicans have claimed, without Offering
any good reason, that wooden cloths of
| American manufacture are as cheap and of
as good quality now as they were before the
| passage Of the Mckinley bill But Gov.
| Russell showed that while prices are as high
as ever the goods have deteriorated in quail
ity. because Of the high duty on wool, " said
he, ''our manufactures are being steadily
compelled TO substitute for it old rags, cast
off clothing. animal hair and cotton ex-
tracts"
In the state Of Massachusetts during the
year 1891 the manufacture of shoddy in
creased about l5.49 per cent. over 1890.
The vnlue OF this item Of manufacture for
that time increased about "A. 40 per cent
while the increase in value of wooden and
worsted goods for the same time was some
20 per cent, showing that the increase in
the use Of shoddy was out Of proportion to
the general increase in wooden manufactures
To illustrate that part of his speech which
treated Of shoddy and other adulterants
used in the manufacture of so-called wooden
goods, Gov. Russell showed book contain
ing tifty-two samples of shoddy, mungo
fiocks, jute, hemp, fax waste, cows hair
goats hair and the hair of other animal:
used for mixing with wool. Cows hair has
become one of the articles in most common
use. According to the official report o.
the Massachusetts bureau Of labor statistics
the use of animal hair as a wool adulter-
ant increased nearly IA per cent il
1891 over 1890. All of these adul
terants, skillfully handled, may make
very nice looking cloth; but when it come
to the wearing, the product is found want
ing. There is a very small percentage o
wool fiber in any Of the fraudulent stuff pu
out as the cheaper grades of wooden goods
and at best it hangs together only shor
while. Yet consumers are compelled Il
pay for that kind of stuff prices as high a
they would have to pay for genuine wooler
goods under tariff for revenue only. The
difference in cost is pocketed by the McKin
ley benehciaries.
