What the New York Papers Say About the
Disturbance.

From the New York papers Of yester
day we get the following about the
great strike now going on in that city.
They say that the threatened general
strike Of the building trades in support
Of the electric wiremen was begun Tues
day, and several buildings were tied up.
There were not more than seven hun
dred men ordered out but IT is said
that there viii be thousands before the
week ends Walking delegates in charge
Of the building trades intend to carry on
their end of the fight by ordering a
number Of strikes each day. They
think that they can be more successful
by not tying up all the buildings at
once. The wiremen won victories on the
following buildings that were tied up
Tuesday Brokaw's building Astor

Wircmen employed by the contractors on
these buildings were compelled TO with

walking delegates did not amount TO
much. He said that the contractors
were doing their work as usual. and had
nearly all the non-union men they
wanted. He said that the completion Of
buildings would not be retarded by with

buildings

Illinois, is pushing a bill he has in
troduced, to cut off all pensions now
paid to foreigners and permanent
non-residents. He says that pen
sions are paid to at least fifteen
thousand non-residents and that
the greater portion Of them never
intend returning to the United
States, and are raising their sons as
citizens of the countries in which
they now reside making it possible
at some time in the future, if their
pensions continue to be paid, for the
sons of men drawing pensions from
the United States to be fighting
against US as soldiers in a hostile
army.

SECRETARY BLAINE is not man
of quick temper, but his even dis
position was so badly disturbed by
the silly statement made without
the slightest foundation, that his
letter stating that his name would
not be presented to the Minneapolis
convention was but the preliminary
move towards his permanent retire
ment from public life, and that he
intended in the near future to re-
sign from the Cabinet, that he lost
his temper, as the best man in the
world would probably have done
under the same circumstances. He
characterized the statement as IAN
internal lie, circulated by idle men
who had nothing better to do" Mr..
Blaine was never more interested in
the duties of his position, and in the
welfare of the Republican which he
recognizes as that of the country,
than he is to-day, and if his health
continues as good as it now is he
will certainly remain at the head Of
the State department during the
rest of this administration, and dur
ing the next one too, unless his de-
sires undergo great change.

to be Is minutes for the entire dis
lance of $50 miles. AS planned,
the road will have two main power
stations, with 100 sub-stations, but
only three or four stopping places.
Each car will be about 1870 feet long,
fitted with four boyle trucks, and an
electric motor at each end will re-
ceive current through contact wheels
running on conducting rails. The
ends of the cars, to diminish air
resistance, will be shaped like those

For years the Democrat have
been talking about the foreign
market. They have clamored for
it in season and out of season. In
order to make it prominent they
have belittled the home market and
abused the Republican party, which
has from the first taken position
for both the home and the foreign
markets. While the Democrats
have been talking the Republicans
have kept all their promises. They
have extended the home market by
the establishment of numerous new
industries in this country, and on a
basis of fair trade Reciprocity have
opened up new markets abroad.
The increase in the single article of
flour sent to Cuba during January,
the first month of reciprocity with
Cuba, shows how well they have
succeeded in the foreign market.
During the month of January, 1891,
Cuba received:
Flour from the United States. 2.72o sacks
Flour from Spain. .ss, 400 sacks
Taking the figures for January,
1892, the month just ended, and
the first under Mr.. Blaine's recip-
rocity, and the account stands as
follows:
Flour from the United States. .6S, 871 sacks
Flour from Spain. Observation-Disclosures nome.
This shows how successful the
United States has been under the
Mckinley law. Never, until it was
enacted, has the American farmer
and the American manufacturer
been able to say that the foreign
market was theirs. The Democrats
have talked about the foreign mar
ket, the Republicans have captured
it. That is the difference between
the two parties.-IoaOa State Register.

THE Canadian reciprocity Com
missioners, now in Washington,
came under orders from the Cana
dian government, and not upon any
invitation from our Government.
This a correspondent states to be
absolutely correct, statements to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Secre-
tary Blaine has courteously received
them, as he was in duty bound to
do, and their propositions will be
given proper consideration, but I'M
less they differ widely from those
heretofore submitted by the Cana
dian government nothing will be
accomplished at this end of the line,
although some political benefit may
accrue to the Canadian administra-
ton at home, because of its having
made an apparent effort to obtain
commercial reciprocity with the
United States.
