Washington streets, below Cortland and
Dey streets, struck at II O'Clock this morn

duction had been ordered by General Man

today. The men had told their superiors.
when informed that il had been decided to
cut their wages, that they would not work
for less than they were getting and were
then reminded, as they say, that if they
did not choose to accept the compsuy's
terms they were at liberty 10 seek work
elsewhere. They decided to quit at mid
night last night when the change of men
occurred, but they did not serve their en-
plCyers with definite notice of their inten-
rion. The company employs about fifty
hremen on the NJ. p. boilers located around
the bases of the great chimneys, which are

claimed 20 have replaced twenty-fonr Of

logs is carried on by the people of Dennis

rHF ARGUS AND LICENSE.

If we understand the position of the
Argus on the liquor question correctly it
is substantially this: No legislation
directed against the liquor shops has any
tendency to restrain drinking or drunk
enness; therefore it is wise to eliminate
from our laws all ideas of that kind, and
to legislate simply with a view of COM
pelling men who dispence liquor to con-
tribute to fund to be used to mitigate
the evils which their business causes.
That is to say, the Argus would advo-
cate license, not because it thinks license
would tend to diminish drinking and
drunkenness, but because it would pro-
duce fund which could be used to sup
port the paupers which drinking and
drunkenness cause. We are free
to say that this is much more sensible
position than most of the advocates of
license have been wont to take. Most of
them have been accustomed to claim
that license with its open and attractive
saloons did, in some mysterious way
which none of them, SO far as we have
seen, have been able to explain, decrease
drinking and drunkenness, and they

There Is Always War.

People who predict war have the safest
thing in the prophecy business, for there
is always war in some part of the world.
and it is very rare that ten years pass
without big war in some country.
The Italian war of 1859, the American
civil war and the Prusso-Austrian war
of 1866 engrossed popular attention so
thoroughly that many people did not
know that the TAPPING war was in
progress in China. 1t is still considered
a small affair. Yet it cost 100000 lives.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 1s.

Chairman Bland of the coinage COM
mittee has decided to allow the oppon-
ents of free coinage to be heard before the
committee, and will not undertake i'm
mediately to push free coinage bill
through the House as some of the more
hot headed of the silver fanatics desired.
It is not at all probable, however, that
the hearing will make any difference in
the character of the bill to be reported.
A majority of the committee believe in
free coinage and in due time they will
report a bill of that kind. The only
effect of the hearings viii be to give the
bill better standing than it otherwise
might have. by comforting upon it the
appearance of being the result of careful
deliberat1on and inquiry.

hear the chimes that jingled in his ears
AS he pressed nightly, with that wakeful head
A pillow wet with tears
Oh, restless little chime
1t never changed-but rang its roundelay
For each dark hour of that unhappy time
That sighed itself away.
And ever, more and more,
It's burden grew of its lorn self part,
And mingled with his memories, and wore
Its way into his heart.
And there it wove the name
Of many a town he loved, for one dear sake,
Into its web OF music; thus he came
His little song to make.
Of all that ever heard
And loved it for its sweetness. none but

The notes doth underlie.
That wall from lips long dead
Has found its echo in this breast alone!
Only to me- by blood remembrance led,
Is that wild story known!
And though it's mine, by right
OF treasure-trove, to rifle and lay bare
A heritage Of sorrow and delight

For eyermore, nor whisper late or soon

We would call particular attention to
q letter on Chill and the Chilians which
is published elsewhere in this issue.
The letter is the work of Portland gen
tleman who has spent sometime in that
country under circumstances very favor
able for getting correct idea of the
character Of the people, and especially
Of their feeling toward the United States.
1t is not only full of interesting and i'm
portant fact, bearing on the present atti-
tude of that country toward the United
States, but it. is very bright and
entertaining as we'll Perhaps the anx-
iety entertained apparently by some of
our naval officers for brush with the
spunky little South American Repub-
lie may be due to a desire to
relieve the CHILEAN mind of the
idea that our naval prowess lies chiefly in
the direction of dancing and mixing
whiskey coclztails-an idea, which, &C
cording to our correspondent, has taken
pretty deep root there. We should
certainly be glad to have this idea re-
moved, but a war for that purpose
would be rather too expensive.

The Hon. j. FL. Manley reiterated to the

nate me. | haven't any idea who the Demo-
Gratis will name but it makes little d1tterence,

1t will be seen that Mr.. Manley expects
to get delegates enough to nominate him
on the first ballot Inasmuch as there are
half dozen other candidates in the field
Mr.. Manley's expectations would seem
somewhat over sanguine, unless he is in
possession of some important facts, such
for instance as the withdrawal of some
of the prominent candidates in his favor,
which are not known to the people.
Mr.. Manley's assertion that the Republi-
can candidate is. practically certain of an
election, is based of course upon the as
sumption that the candidate is fit and
capable man to represent the district in
Congress. Of course he does not mean to
say that the Republicans down there
