cities unprecedented.
II is not true that machine labor re-
quires more skill than hand labor. The
reverse is apt to be true. The increase

The increase in manufacturing IL ont
of all proportion not only to the growth
of other metropolises, but that of New
York itself. London in ten years grows
about 20 per cent, rate which has
been continuous since the beginning Of
the century. New Yorks rate Of growth
is much more subject TO fluctuations,
but may be put at 40 per cent, Brook

An increase Of manufacturing bust

ANDREWS OR MAYNARD.

For chief justice of the court of ap-
pea,S of New York, the Republicans
have nominated Judge Charles f. An
drews, an incorruptible jurist, an ex-
perienced lawyer, man -honored by
members of all parties.
The Democrats have endorsed
Judge Andrews nomination. They
could not do better. 1t is their
only escape from an intolerable dilem-
ma They talk about removing judi
cial places from the sphere of politics" I"
This is bosh. Their real reason is that
they are ashamed to nominate Judge
Maynard, and they were afraid of Hills
wrath If they name any other.
Maynard is the tool who helped Hill
to steal state. He proved himself a
dishonest lawyer and dishonorable
man. For this he was rewarded with a
seat on the appeals bench.
If the Democrats nominated Maynard
they disgusted all decent men who have
ever trained with them.
Ifthey turned Maynard down and nom-
mated Peckham, Earl or Gray-all
honest men, good lawyers and Demo-
crats--they would further rouse the
wrath of the great State stealer, David
b. Hill.
BY endorsing Andrews they mildly

The nomination of the present men,
bers of Congress from this State by the
Democrats yesterday was settled upon
definitely two days before. There has
been no opposition to Mr.. Lapham, but
Mr.. Page had formally taken himself
| out of the field before he returned
| to the city after the adjournment of
| Congress. His re-entry into the field
was the result of the effort of Hugh j.
| Carroll of Pawtucket to secure the nomi-
nation for himself.
These gentlemen are worthy citizens.
There is nothing TO be said against them
personally. They answer all the Demo
cratic requirements. And that is ex-
actly the reason they will be beaten at
the polls, and forced to yield the seats
they now hold to Messrs. Bull and
Capron.
The congressional records of the can
didates Cor reelection are not very long
nor very difficult to comprehend. They
acted with the Democratic majority n,
the House, except on the free silver
bills. They voted with the majority of
the Republicans on both the Bland and
the Stewart bills, as nearly all the New
England Democratic members did. 1t
was creditable in them to do so.
Mr.. Pages chief item of activity was
the securing sundry slices of the
''P ork' bill, formally known as the
river and harbor bill, for RHODE ISLAND.
He labored very hard for this, and as he
was member Of the committee that
framed the bill he succeeded. Mr.. Lap
hams one individual effort, as we re-
member, was the rather famous menha-
den fisheries bill, which he did not sue
ceed in getting through.
Messrs. Lapham and Page are repre-
sentative Democrats. The frst-named
leans far toward the -Mugwump
wing of the party. He would probably
be called a " snollygoster down South,
because there is much attached to
Democracy that he holds aloof from and |
does not allow to become attached to |
him. He is an aristocrat and an ami |
able gentleman.
Charley" Page is Of quite another |
stamp. He delights to stand upon
street corners and crate to a circle Of |
admirers. He is inclined to wear his |
hat on one side, and to tempt people to
slap him on the back. He's one of the
boys and he wants you to know it. He's |
a rustler, even If all the nuts he knocks
down don't get into his own bag. He is
"jolly good fellow" a whoop-la sort
of youngish old man-light, breezy.
ephemeral, sometimes fervent, inclined
to Micawberism. He knows the value
of the Hon. Charles III. p. to his coun-
try, and he sometimes modestly refers
to it.
These gentlemen are unexceptional as
gentlemen. IL the question at issue
was their election to down-river club
or reading circle there could be no
objection 10 them. But when it comes
TO the selection of members of Congress.
with Bull and Capron for alternatives
and the vicious and demoralizing Demo
Grating platform enshrouding them, it
is quite another proposition, and there
remains no reason that can induce in
telligent RHODE islanders to support
them

madam lucent piece will be accepted as
cents, and one who attempts to ,spend
one without first calling attention To its
denomination and nationality often gets
himself into trouble, requiring ingenuity
and money to escape. In PROVIDENCE
this denomination Of coin Is accepted
everywhere except on the strees car lines,
without a discount being made. Two
Canadian lOcent pieces and scent coin
are the equivalent OF % cents in coin of
this realm, but Canadian quarter or
25cent piece is worth only ~ cents.
