Evidence has been produced before the
labor commission in England that the wages
of TIE textile workers in Lancashire and
Yorkshire are from sixteen shillings
weekly upward, but, as the manufacturers
have the right to fine them for spoiled ma
terial, it is not a rare occurrence for a
single fine to absorb whole weeks pay,
and any excess of fine over wages is car
RED forward until the whole fine is worked
off. Many workmen live in semi-starva-

The State Tax Conference.

1t is stated that the report of State
Tax Conference which meets in Harri-
burg on the 18th of this month will show
that a taxation rate greatly reduced from
five mills. made on a valuation equitable
and fair to a marked degree, will pro-
duce a revenue far in excess of what the
State now haS-at least fifty per cent
larger and probably more.
There have been six great c lasSeS of
interest represented in the conference
and its commission, namely: Labor
manufactures, transportation, trade and
commerce, agriculture and the county
commissioners, the latter being the tax
ing power in the counties of the state
The work has been done without the
cost of Il single cent to the state The
members OF the commission have given
their time and energy freely, with no
thought of reward aside from the honor
that would naturally accrue to com
pany of good citizens who, by the form
uiationofa practical plan would relieve the
state from the annoyance of what might
be termedia haphazard system of taxa
ton. The expenses of the commission,
which have been considerable by reason
of the sending out of tens of thousands
of circulars have been met by cOntribu-
uOns from all parts OF the state.

Florida Is Sale.

JACKSONVILLE, October 4.-The Dem

600 majority against the combined Re
publican and Peoples parties, the latter
polling only few thousand votes. In

The Republicans and Populites are
sadly disappointed. The chairman Of
the Republican state committee had
issued circulars advising all Republicans
to support the Peoples party candidates.

Republicans appear to have voted with
the Democrats and left the third party
people out in the cold. In many sec

are reported voting the Democratic tick

hold Of the Peoples party, their op-
ponents beat them badly. The third

WHEN we hear of Republican leaders
declaring for Cleveland-men who have
the pride of party position and recogni-
ton to keep them in the traces-the
conclusion, says the Pittsburg Post, is
irresistible the drift must be very great
among less conspicuous party men. In
fact, from what we hear going on around
US even in this hotbed and stronghold of
trust and monopoly protection, the
changes are numerous, especially among
young men. \ great many first vo-
ters' will cast their ballots for Cleveland
this year who would naturally go for
Harrison, but they have had their eyes
and ears open in this campaign of edu-
cation.

was to turn the course of the river
through these canals, and thus transfer

but lately they grew bolder and their de-
sign was discovered and an Injunction

not been made a score of lives might

WIDE spread comment will follow the
action OF the Chief Justice Of Penn@yl-
vania i'll issuing warrants IOr the arrest
OF the Advisory commaittee Of the Home
stead strikers on charge Of treason. Il
is reported that the treasonahle act with
which these men are charged is armed
resistance to law" If by that is meant
that they resisted the Pinkerton detec-
tives, it is to be hoped the Chief Justice
had sufficient proof that the armed body
of Pinkerton Soldicry were themselves
doing lawful act in a lawful manner

ironworkers there.

will be watched with intense interest.
1t is phase of the conflict between pro-
tected capital and unprotected labor and

corporation dominated PENNSYLVANIA for
the first time in the history of the Uni
ned states, the charge of treason has
been injected into the strikes and labor
troubles which have resulted from the
combinations of employers on one hand
and laboring men on the other. In the
heat of a Presidential campaign the po-
litical aspect of the case and the fact
that the justice who issues the warrants
is a stalwart Republican, will not be
overlooked and it is pity that the cor
porate interests could not wait until the
elections were over before proceeding to
this extraordinary exercise of legal pow
er. The strong feeling that exists in
tliIS SbilS W uiN against corporations,
combines and monopolies, is due to the
popular belief that these defy the Con-
stitution and the laws of the state with
impunity; and the friends of labor will
not be slow to point out that the Courts
which could find no method wherewith
to prevent the consummation of the
Reading combine, could discover such
an extraordinary proceeding as an in
dictment for treason in the case of these
laboring men with little difficulty.
