To- day there walked out Of Sing Sing
prison, free man, one whose expert
ence teaches, If any mans ever did. how
hard road to travel is the path of sin.
Henry w. Jaehne. ex-alderman of the
city OF New York, crawls from behind
the bars after more than six years of
imprisonment and seeks to hide his sad
heart and wasted life from the sight of
men. He has been the hero of an epic
or crime and retribution as dramatic as
any ever known.
Mr.. Jaehne's downfall was occasioned.

one Mrs. Hamilton who had lost some
valuable silverware and traced il by
the aid of detectives to Jaehnes shop
where 1T had been pawned. Mrs. Ham

the silver and refused to compound a
felony by protecting the receiver OF
stolen goods. This instance of civic
virtue is worth considering.

HARMONY RAMPANT.

The Democrats of Pawtucket made
great stride toward that goal of all Tn,
hopes of the party-getting together
last night.
They got near enough to each other tC
come within the purview Of straight
right-handers, and several of them an
pear to have improved the opportunity

them.
They got together, with a biff, as il
were.
The Pawtucket Democrats are strict
ly typical. While their brethren in
politics in Warwick, Lincoln, Newport.
Woonsocket, this city, and all over the
State, may not have made quite as
strenuous attempts to reach each others
"claret A" as the enthusiasts at Paw
tucket did last night, yet they all carry
knives in their bootlegs, and they are
all ready to reach for those knives upon
the slightest provocation.
It's exhilarating to note the bounding
enthusiasm of the Democrats when they
engage in the fascinating pursuit of
seeking each others jugulars. Then it

Several lessons are at once apparent
from these figures:
1-Manufacturing industry in general
increases more rapidly than the popula
ton of the city.
2-Capital invested has nearly doubled
while the number of factories has only
increased $3.50 per cent. This means
larger and better equipped factories,
new and improved machinery, and this
again means
3-Ihe wages of labor have increased
faster than the number Of laborers. or
TO be accurate, the average for men.
women and boys has been raised from
Sil3 in 1880 to $500 in 1890.
4-The value of product has mean
While increased only 65. 32 per cent.
Thus the workingman has received in
wages an increased share of the profits
OF industry and capital has received in
dividends or interest a reduced share.
5-Raw material, in spite of the tariff.
has decreased in price as compared
with the finished product. That is to
say, 1T has increased only 57.25 per cent
while the product has increased G5. 80.

GERMANY AND FRANCE.

The proposition contained in the army
bill which the German Chancellor has
prepared, and which the German En-
peror is understood to favor, is substan-
italy that every able bodied male Ger
man shall serve two years in the army.
This policy, if it is adopted, will make
of Germany one great military camp in
the course of few years. 1t will give
to Germany an army available for in
vasion or defense. the like of which has
not been dreame1p6f in modern times.
1t will increase the army at the rate of
about 10000 men each year.
1t is still a grave question whether
this bill can be forced through the
Reichstag, though it is admitted that
it will probably be found that coali-
tion can be made between the conserva-
tives and the Catholics strong enough
to carry it,
The horizon Of the import of this mea-
sure is far wider than the boundaries of
Germany. 1t may well be expected to
create great discomfort among the Ger
man people, who will not relish having
to reckon upon giving up two years
out of the best of their lives to the SER
vice OF the emperor. But this bill will
be distinct and emphatic challenge to
France. and France will have to con-
slider whether she will attempt to be re-
venged upon Germany very soon, or sit |
calmly by and see the German army as
sumo such proportions that revenge |
could only be had through suicide.
AT present the French army is supe-
rior to the German army, in point of |
discipline and fighting capac-
ity. 1t is immeasurably superior in patri-
otto devotion to its country, and in those
qualities that distinguish a man from
an automaton. If there could be fair i
tight between France and Germany
now it is not at all unlikely that the
great victories of Napoleon would be
duplicated.
The French nation has vastly inn
proved since the disappearance of Napo-
eon iii. It's army has been one of the
chief objects Of solicitude of the gov
since those disastrous months
)f 1S70-'72, and whoever has been i'm
power has bent all the energies at his
command to build mp the army. The
'esult is the finest army in the world.
