\ Triumph for Mckinley.

Under the Mckinley bill buttons of pearl or oyster shell are taxed 2E per cent and 2 cents a line. This double tax amounts to from $2 to $5 on the dollars worth of buttons There is a pearl button factory in Detroit and pearl buttons of its make are worn as campaign badges by Michigan Republicans. Onlast Washington's Birthday Major Me- Kinley visited this factory as the guest of the proprietors and of the Michigan Republican Club. At that time he congratulated the proprie- tors on their prosperity under Re- publican policies and was by them congratulated on what he had done "for American labor"
 The sequel comes this week in the announcement of cut in wages. Of the girls employed in running the machines which make the but tons, 150 have struck against the reduction, ,and the Mckinley corpor- ation has locked the strikers out and called on the police to arrest them as trespassers on it's property if they attempt to return. The wages paid these girls while they were engaged in the manufacture of Republican campaign badges were so scandalously inadequate that even Republican organ as stalwart as the Chicago Tribune is obliged to confess the fraudulency of the claim that the onerous tax has been of any help to them, The following extract is from the Tribune of the 18th inst:
 A few of the 150 girls receive $4.50 per week, but most of them $2.50 to $3.5O, and many only $2. They were astonished at the announce ment that they would hereafter be paid | ] and F cents per gross, according to the size of the button and the number of holes. A smart girl who had been receiving $3.5O per week after five months expert ence says that she can turn out only forty gross day at II cents. That is $3 week if she works six full days of ten and one half hours each. But they have a short day Saturday and she could make at piece work only $2.75 to $2.90 per week. A new girl can turn out only twenty-five gross per day.
 It is laborious machine work and exceedingly dangerous to the fingers. Many a poor girl has been laid up for weeks with clipped fingers, and all of them are sickly and unhealthy looking from the nature and severi- ty of the work.
 A 15 per cent cut in the wages of $3 a week labor is something for Protectionists to be proud of. Itis a pity Washington's Birthday does not come again this year so that MT. Mckinley could have patriot ic pretext for returning to Detroit to celebrate this triumph of pro- hibitive taxation.

The Supreme Court of the United States has sustained the opinion of the United States District Court of Southern Ohio in refusing to issue an injunction to restrain the Balti. more and Ohio Railroad Company from selling party rate tickets. The gist of the Supreme Courts opin- ion, which was given by Justice Brown, is that 1t is not an unjust discrimination for a railroad com pany to sell tickets at wholesale cheaper than at retail. The propo- sition is so obviously in accord with the dictates of common sense and equity that if advanced with refer ence to any other business than that of a railway corporation it's self evident character would serve al- most to give 1t quality of super Auity.-Philadelphia Record.

Australia, whose area Is but little less than all Europe, is to have a transcontinental railway. Although Australia has a population of 3,0OO,- 900 souls, exclusive of the scatter ed natives of the interior, only the land near the sea-coast is well known, the central portion of the continent having been rarely visited by white men. The so-called desert portion is said 10 possess a soil much like that of Southern Cali fornia.

EDS. RECORD UNION: The GLORIOUS
Fourth" has come and gone with no ac-
cidents or misfortunes, so far as Auburn
is concerned, to sadden the hearts or de-
tract from the pleasures of the occasion.
In this city the celebration, though not
on an extensive or very expensive scale,
was, nevertheless, quite entertaining and
attractive. If there be day in the year
when some people think they are privi-
legged to drink to excess, it is the Fourth
of July. But it can be truthfully said to
their credit, and that of the town, that
there was but very little of oyer-Indul-
gence in intoxicating liquors during the
entire celebration.
Indeed, sobriety and rational enjoy
ment characterized the proceedings OF the
day.
Nothing that the railroad company has
done of late years has pleased the Au-
burnites more than the improvements
now being made ct the station. The arch
under the railroad, very necessary i'm
provement, is well under way, and new
depots and freight-houses, it is said, will
soon be commenced. If all the plans and
improvements reported are fully carried
out, the work, when completed, will
make in appearance almost a new place
of this portion of the town, while the
convenience and advantages accruing TO
the hotels and business generally can
hardly be estimated.
The feeling on the question of license
or no license is becoming more intense as
the day draws near 10 decide whether
the saloon shall go or stay.
Both sides are seemingly sanguine OF
success. The anti-Prohibltionist don't
think it possible that such sweeping
radical measure can be Endorsed by ma
iority of the voters in the county. Many
are apprehensiye that this liquor ques-
ton, absorbing so much Of the public at
tention, will cause the defeat ofthe Court
house bond proposition, unless agitated
more vigorously than it now is. But the
18th 18th of July election Will put the whole
matter at rest. In politics there is moth
ing very notable or exciting as yet.
a few ambitious ofiice-seekers who are
anxious to serve the dear people have
announced themselves candidates fol
official honors. Several OF the present
occupants of Office will strive TO be re
elected The much coveted Sherlff's
Office will probably be occupied after the
election by the same worthy officer thai
