POSTOFFICE ROBBED!
Considerable Booty Secured
by Blowing Open the
Safe.

This morning at 2 o'clock, unknown
parties entered the Weiser postoffice
and blew open the safe with powder
and secured about 500 in money,
stamps, postal notes, etc. One
registered letter belonging to Frank
Harris was taken, also certificates OF
deposit belonging to MIR. Hlxon,
Alternately, and other parties, and
amounting to about $1,000 were taken
hut the latter are worthless to the
robbers. The entrance was effected
through the window in the rear OF the
office. The safe door was blown
several feet striking and demolishing
a partition. Several panes of glass
were blown out of lock boxes, and the
interior of the office looked like a
railroad wreck this morning. Two
large window panes In the
front of the Office were smashed
out, supposed to have been done
by the robbers in making theli
escape. The report of the explosion
was heard by many persons arouno
town. and drummer who was sitting
in the Vendome hotel with Geo
Degitz remarked, "There goes some
bodv's safe" The report seemed t.
come from the drug store or Sommer

Pats Temptation.

One Of the members Of the New
York Senate who has passed through
a good many experiences during his
life, was in his younger days a track
walker on a New England railroad.
says the Buffalo Express. At each
end of his route was a small station.
The only persons to watch him were
in these neighborhoOds. Pat Git is
needless to say he was an lriShman)
lived in asmall house beside the track,
about half mile from one of these
stations. He was the fortunate
owner of an old horse and wagon.
This is what led to his temptation
and downfall There was a good
wagon-road running parallel with the
track all the way. Pat" said the
tempter, whats to hinder your rid
ing between stationS?" at wouldn't
do" said Pat. But the idea had
taken hold of him and one rainy night
he tried it. He left his horse half a
mile from each end of his beat and
walked to the stations at his usual
time Over the rest of the distance
he rode on the turnpike, trusting to
luck that the track would be all right.
The thing was SO easy that it soon
became settled practice with him.
For three or four months he guarded
the company's property in this way,
and no one was the wiser. Then he
was spotted, and summary discharge
followed. ga man with your genius
fordodging work ought to be lawyer. I"
said the Superintendent. "Falth, L
think SO meself," answered the dis
charged track-walker, and a lawyer
he became.

Money In Circulation.

Our Democratic friends have been
fostering the idea that the Republican
administration has restricted the cur
rency. They have time and time again
expressed the "lear" that this has been.
Of course, they wouldn't carefully study
the report of the Treasury Department
on the subject, for if they had, and they
wanted to be honest, they would soon
discover that there was no ground for
any sort of alarm that the currency was
being contracted. 1t may be of some
advantage to these alarmists on the cur
rencv question to have the fact stated
that "the only year of the
last twelve in which there
has been any decrease whatever
treasury was the first year of Mr..
Cleveand's administration. The New
York Tribune, speaking of these Demo
cratic alarmists, says: at will not
please but may instruct them to know
that the amount of silver and paper re-
deemable in silver in actual circulation
has increased only ST. ,432, $40 during
the last year in spite of the especial OPP
portunities for its increase, while the
circulation of other kinds Of money has
increased about $4S, 1000
'This official statement of circulation
is q painful extinguisher of claptrap
about the currency. 1t shows that the
total amount in actual use outside the
treasury has increased ST, 5l9, 500 dur
ing the last month, and 500, S45, 7SG dur
ing the last year, and it has risen at last
to $24.52 per capita according to the
official reckoning of population. The
greater part of the increase during the
calendar year has been, as is usual, dur
ing the last six mo sths. The following
statement is compiled from the last an
nual report of the treasurer of the
United States, except for the last half

than Charles Cramp, and in the Janu-
airy number Of the North American Re-
view be gives reasons and facts and fig
ures that prove that frst-class mercan-
tile and war vessels can be and are
made in the United States at very little
more than British cost
But as to the lower class of ships he
says:
Put the plans and specifications OF the
average English tramp steamer into the
hands OF an American Shjptmlder and he
could not duplicate her. lie would build
better vessel. of superior workmanship,
and neater nnlSn in every respect, for the
reason, to put it broadly, that the me-
ChanicS who make up an American ship
yard organization are trained to higher
grade OF production, which they could not
reduce to the standard Of tramp constitute
ton. Under these circumstances this
branch of the subject may be dismissed
summarily. with che statement that an En-
glish freight ship Of the usual type cOuld
not be duplicated in this country at any
cost.
So that if we have been building few
er tramp ships than our friends in Eu-
rope, we have, at least, been educating
and maintaining body of conscientious
mechanics, who can do the best work
in the world, and who Will not do any
that is not good.

dwindled dusng the past seven years
until, in the cases of the three latest
battle ships, the margin between prices
is hardly perceptible. How rapidly the
cheapening process in cost of tirst-class
vessels is at work may be illustrated
by the fact that. Congress, in
June, 1890, authorized the con-
struction of three war vessels, each to
be about SO, 500 tons displacement" and
provided mot more than $4,000, 600 for
the cost of each," exclusive of arma-
ment. These vessels now are in con-
struction, but instead of SO, 500 tons dis
placement" they are being made to
measure TO, 400 tons, or nearly . per
cent. larger than was contemplated,
while the cost of each will be S., 200, 900,
instead of 81 100000.
The adoption by the United States
government of the British policy of IN
trusting the construction of war vessels
to private firms has so stimulated en-

ire perpetually coming forward and

are perpetually coming forward and
stating the truth about their wages. A
few specimens Of what they say about
the matter will serve to indicate the
nature Of the information which they
furnish.
Peek said that the wages Of bakers
were raised from s1.66 2-3 day in
1890 to s1.83 1-3 in 1891, and those Of
foremen from S2.5 to 81. &c 2-3. Hen
nv Weisman, editor Of the official jour
nal Of the Bakers National Union,
saws there has not been any increase
of wages for three years, and that but
for the union wages would have gone
still lower. There are four classes of
workmen in the trade. and many of the
worse-paid class work for $3.50 to
81. 80 week.
Peck said that the wages of tailors
were raised in 1891 over the prices of
1890. The General Secretary of the
Garment Workers Union says, on the
contrary, that wages were raised In
1890, and that there has beeen no adj
vance since.
1t has also been found that in trades
which have busy and slack season
Peck compared the wages of the slack
season Of 1890 with the busy season of
1891. Thus, he said that the wages of
fur cutters were increased from SO to
80, from $40 to S12, etc. Officers of
the Fur Cutters Union says there was
no difference between the busy seasons
of 1890 and 1891, and that in the slack
seasons wages were reduced. This year
wages have been reduced again, so that
in the busy season of this year wages
are not so high as they were in the
busy season of 1890. If the Mckinley
bill has affected wages at all, it has
reduced them.
Investigations made in many other
trades have had the same result. The
men whose wages were raised by the
Mckinley bill can not be found, but
many whose wages have been reduced
since 1890 have reported.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October s.
Nothing in the campaign SO far has
Made Republicans here feel so sick as
the declaration of Judge Gresham that
he will vote for Cleveland.
1t is stunning blow to the disci
pies of McKinleyism and monopolists
who are aware or Judge Gresham s in
fiuence among the workingmen of
Indiana and Illinois. They feel that
its effects must be to make those two
States almost certain to cast their
electoral vote for Cleveland and they
practically say SO. That the Presi-
dent fully appreciates the danger Of
the situation is shown by the action
which he took. He sent for Commits
sioner of immigration Owen, who is
an Indiana man and close adherent
of Harrison, and informed him that he
must drop his work here at one and
hasten to Indiana to do all in his pow
er to neutralize the effect of Gresham's
bolt. Owen has some reputation as a
political manipulation and it is under
stood he will remain in Indiana until
the close of the campaign devoting
himself especially to the work Of keep

The Queer Aims of Japan.

The Ainu are the hairy aborigines OF
Japan, and colonies or tribes OF this peo-
pie still exist, much as do the Indian
tribes here, but in a more civilized state.
The Ainu women are in a state of becom-
ing subsection to their men. When an
Ainu woman appears before a man she
drops her eyes, takes off her headdress
and hangs it on her arm; then she pushes
back her hair and puts her hand over her
mouth. II she sees that he will deign to
notice her she makes number OF curious
and elaborate gestures to indicate her
humiliation, and then serves him in
whatever way he may desire. Until old age
the Ainu woman is the newer of wood
and drawer of water. She is then released
from service and spends the remnant
OF her years in cursing. Her power hence
forth is absolute. The bravest warrior or
hunter of wild beasts will fly in terror
before the curse of an old woman. These
aged women, however, are confined to
certain cursing areas. The boundaries Of
these are defined, and when off of her
base the curse would not count any more
than an error in base ball or the ukase of
the Gar in Germany. This professionalism
as such it seems to be recognized among
the Ainus-appears to be in response to a
rude sense of justice on the part Of these
people. Having served in patience and
humility all their days, women when
they become toothless are allowed to free
their minds of all their accumulated
wrongs and sufferings.-N. Y. Evening
