BIG BOAT TO BE BUILT.
Tho Largest Fresh Water Vessel Has Just
Been Contracted For.

Tho Largest Fresh Water Vessel Has Just
Been Contracted For.
BAY CITY, MICH, July GA contract for
the largest boat ever built on fresh water
was closed to-day by the F. W. Wheeler
Shipbuilding Company Of West Bay City. 1t
was for steel steamer for Hawgood &
Avery, who are at the head of the syndicate
of wealthy vessel owners at Cleveland. The
new boat will be 800 feet keel and 45 feet
wide. Her extreme length will be little
short OF 400 feet and she will carry on 16 feet
of water not less than $500 tons of dead
weight. This far exceeds the average cargo
of saltwater steamers, and for the same
draft of water Is without precedent any
where. Then the 20-root channel connects
all the great lakes between Chicago Duluth,
and Buffalo, an appropriation for which has
already been made by Congress, the new
steamer will carry over 5000 tons.
That over $3O0, 900 should be put into one
boat during n season when the corn rate be-
tween Chicago and Buffalo has been much
below 2 cents would have been considered
foolhardy few years ago. But with the
modern fleet of fast steamers carrying 10C-
900 bushels and over, experience has shown
that there is q good return even at these
low figures for the big carriers. The new
boat will have q speed of l8 miles per hour,
which has been found the most economical
when both consumption of fuel and time of
boat on a trip are onunterbalanced. She
will be ready for service at tine opening Of
navigation next spring.

in this county.
Away back In the early 20s. she came with
band of pioneers from Maryland. Being
young she rode horseback, and for a riding
whip she carried a small withe, cut from q
willow that overhung the spring at her
Maryland home. The Marylanders settled
in this vicinity, and the willow wand was
stuck in the ground. 1t grew and from it
sprung numerous and beautiful progeny.

BOSTON, July 23-Mr. Clayton C. Clough, O

the will of the late Herford Drummond, of
London, as a reward for stopping pair Of
runaway horses and saving the lives OF Mr..
Drummond and his daughter in Halifax in
January, 1891.
The horse had been started by something
on the sidewalk, and dashed Off at lively
rate. The carringe contained a man about
IS years Of age and young woman.
Mr.. Clough saw the horses coming,
and running into the street grasped the
brides and stopped the runaways with
out sustaining other injuries than a few
scratches and bruises. The man was pro-
fuse in his thanks, and wished to reward
Mr.. Clough on the spot. MIR. Clough posi-
lively declined to accept any reward. He
was an Englishman who made a fortune in a
gunpowder establishment in London. Sew
eral years ago he retired from business, and
was making a tour Of Canada when the run

In a special article elsewhere corre-
spondent points out the town of Pullman,
ILL.,, as place where there are no labor
troubles. This is attributed to the care
taken to provide the men employed In the
works there with model houses at cheap
rents and to pay them good wages. On
business principles the investment in the
town of Pullman is shown to pay the COM
pany, while the fact as stated that there
has been but one strike in Its history, and
that only of weeks duration, is con-
sidered as showing that these qualities 60
far toward avoiding labor difficulties.
1t is valuable and significant fact that
good pay, good homes and good sanitary
arrangements all at cheap rates ameliorate
labor disputes. Yet 1t would require a
persistent optimism to regard the town OF
Pullman, ILL.,, as the solution of the social
problem, or indeed as model in its essen
tlal characteristic for the building of DEM
ocratic communities. Its streets may be
well paved and Its sewers first-class. But
a town where no workingman can own
his own home is not the reall-
zation of the purpose OF popu-
lar system. 1t is no solution OF
the labor difficulty to give the employing
corporation the power over the homes OF
its workmen of landlord over a tenant
at will, as we'll as that of an employer
over their means of livelihood. For the
hope of an ultimate solution it is ques-
tionable whether Braddock and Home
stead are not as good as Pullman. The
wages are as good or better; the streets
may not be so well cleaned; but the men
can own their own homes and exercise an
Independent voice in their own govern
ment That there is strife there between
employers and employed is regrettable
proof that the problem is still unsolved;
but even with that strife, it is nearer
the proper solution than the quiet which
is secured by uniting the powers of great
landlord with those of great employer
in single corporation.
The real solution Of the labor question
Is that which will come most nearly to
making workingmen capitalists and their
own employers. The Pullman plan goes
further in the opposite direction than any |
of the manufa cturing communities which |
at present have all undesirable prominence |
on account of the wages troubles.

THE COMBINATION AND THE COURTS.


The New Jersey movement against the
anthracite coal combination is moving
more promptly than the one undertaken
by our State authorities. An argument
before the Chancellor of that State took
place last week on the application of the
Attorney General for an injunction.
The Attorney General asks for an in
junction restraining the combination and
all proceedings under it as inimical to
the public interest, and declaring void the
lease of the New Jersey Central, on which
the combination hangs If the Court sus-
tains the Attorney General the New York
World declares that "the bottom will
drop out of the conspiracy" That asser-
ton should be qualified by the proviso
that it will do so if New Jersey has better
fortune than Pennsylvania in making the
orders of its Courts effective against the
great corporations.
But, while New Jersey may be more
prompt than Pennsylvania in its legal
proceedings, 1t cannot keep up with the
combinations rate Of advancing the price
of coal. The organs of the consolidation
in Philadelphia report another advance to
be in reserve to take place August 1.
This will make the total advance on the
cost of coal since the combination was
formed dollar per ton.
In other words, the combination policy
will impose on the consumers of coal a
total levy of $40, ,OOO 900 per annum more
than the cost which would be fixed
by the competitive forces to which the
earnings of the masses are subject. The
statement of that fact renders further
comment unnecessary.

THE COST OF LIVING,

In Mr. Henry Tuckley's letter from

a very important light is thrown on the
oft heard claim that the cost of living is
less for the masses in England than in this
country. This assertion, which is uni
versally made to balance the indubitably
higher wages Of this country, falls through
