RIOTING CONTINUES.
BERLIN MOBS STILL RULE THE
STREETS.
Fierce Fights With the Police-France's
Cabinet Formed With NJ. Loubet Presi-
dent of the Ministry-steamers Collide
or the Coast Of England.

BERLIN, Feb. 29.-Inflamed by ex-
cesses of yesterday and last night the
rioters. many of whom had passed the
whole night on the streets. began to re-
new their disturbances this morning.
The law abiding residents of the city
have taken the alarm and many of
them dare not leave their dwellings
BY noon the crowds had been aug
mented to such an extent that the
police felt it would be dangerous to al
low them to remain in the streets, and
especially as threats of looting shops
were being made. They therefore
charged the crowds, but were met with
a determined resistance and repeated
charges We're necessary before the
crowds were dispersed.
The mob that had gathered in Kaiser
Wilhelm Strasse was specially deter
mined to hold its ground. The first
charge of the police upon it had no
effect whatever. and the police were
compelled to withdraw, some of them
having been severely hurt by sticks and
stones. The police then drew their
swords and again charged the crowd,
slashing right and left. The mob still
held their ground and returned blow
for blow, but finally they began to
slowly give way to the onslaught, con-
testing every inch of the ground. The
police, enraged at the resistance offered
them, rallied and made another charge;
after determined scuffle the mob
broke and ran in every direction. Quite
a number of the rioters were severely
hurt, and all the leaders fell into the
hands of the police.
1t is evident that the soldiery will
be used against the riotous element
only as last resort. It is believed by
many that, owing 10 the inadeqnacy of
the police force to handle the disturb
ances, though thus far their conduct
merits the highest praise, the Govern
ment should adopt sterner measures
to put down the trouble once for all,
that If the rioters once gain victory
over the police they will become so
emboldened that only the most copious
shedding of blood will suffice to end
the trouble.
All was quiet at midnight, Friday.
There was some disorder near the
Schloss Freiheit and Palace at 10
o'clock. Several arrests were made,
and there was disturbance at the east
end at about II O'clock. The Vorwaits
entreat comrades to hold
aioof most carefully from demonstra-
tions in the streets, as imprudence now
may cause workmen to forfeit their
most sacred rights
The situation is felt to be serious,
not only IN Berlin, but throughout the
whole country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Silver will

Protection and Wages.

The seventh annual report of the De
sioner. Col. Carroll ID. Wright show that
the wage orkers of the United States are
better paid than those of any other country,
and that consequently they are better
clothed, more comfortably housed. and
more generously fed than their fellow
craftsmen of the old world. Statistics oh
tanned by Col. Wright attest the truth of
this claim, and, although these results may
not all be justly attributed 10 the tariff, they
unquestionably flow in large measure from
the protective system.

The Origin Of Memorial Day,


Tradition has 1t that about the time the
Civil War broke ont a soldier of the Ger
man army came to this country and, enlist
ing in our army, served through the war,
About the time the war closed he casually
remarked one day that it was the custom in
t'rrmany for the people to scatter flowers
uu the graves of soldiers once wear
Nothing more was said at that time. but it
has been rumored that this was at the bot
tom or foundation of the question at issue.
viz. the nited States Soldiers Memorial
Day" BE this as it may. records tell us
that early in May, 1865, Adjutant-General
+. L. Chapman conferred with National
Commander John 4. Logan of the Grand
trmy of the Republic an organization then
IN il comparative infancy concerning the
matter of having the Grand Army of the
Republic inaugurate the system of
spreading flowers on the graves of
the Union soldiers all over the Union at
some uniform time or ,lay. The matter
seemed TO strike General Logan as being Il
most proper thing to DO aud lac Immediately
issued Il general order, in which he named
the Goth day of May lists. For the pur-
pose of strcwug with flowers, or otherwise
decorating the graves of comrades who
tied in the defence of their country during
the late rebellion and whose bodies now
lie in almost every city, village, or ham

speaking to the G.. A. Il. comrades
