Labor Riot and Rlooisted l.

A most grave affair is chronicled in this mornings papers, At Homestead, Pa, where are located the iron works, of which Andrew Carnegie is chief owner, notice was given some time ago of re- duction of wages to take effect July 1st. The workmen refused to accept, and the owner refused to submit the matter to ar bitration. Thereupon the workmen an- nounced that the running of the works by non-union men would not be permitted. continuing the business, hired men, and at the same time fortified their premises to resist outside interference, and hired Pinkerton detectives to assist them. The boats containing these detectives were met at the river side by an overpowering number of strikers: Attempts were made to burn the boats by use of oil poured up- on the water and played upon the boats with hose. Cannon were fired at them, and shots were exchanged with result of fearful slaughter on both sides. Early in the affair and frequently the bombarded detectives raised flags of truce, which were not respected, but shot down at once. Finally, overpowered by numbers, and abandoned by the tug which had tow ed their boats, and pitiably exhausted by confinement between decks, the Pinker- tons for long time endured the bom- bardment without returning, and when permitted to surrender were taken to jail, as an act of mercy, being first promised safe conduct to the jail by the leader of the strikers, who had deposed and order ed away the small posse of civil officers on duty. This promise was not kept, the detectives being mercilessly pounded on their way through the streets, one woman thrusting an umbrella into the eye of a prisoner. The people were infuriated be- yond control by the killing of their friends, and it was hard to restrain them from massacreing the entire lot of detectives in their power. Gov. Pattison, appealed to before the riot, refused state aid, alleging that the sheriff had not first exercised his own power to enroll deputies and main tain order. Between the governor and the sheriff the blame lies, and at this time it looks more as if the sheriff had shirked his responsibility and endeavole ed to put it upon the governor. It is horrible af- fair, and will he fully investigated, and the blame put where it belongs. It is un- fortunate that at this time of political ex- citement partisan feeling will be evoked, and the public verdict be more or less in- iuenced thereby.
 As nearly as can be ascertained nine detectives and twelve rioters were killed, and many others were wounded.
 The sheriff mas issued the following proclamation
 All good citizens are hereby summoned to appear at the sheriff's office tomorrow (Thursday) at o'clock a. m. with arms and subsistence to aid the sheriff in SUD- pressing the riot now in progress at Home stead.
 In explanation of his failure. to secure additional deputies, Sheriff McCleary said: q believe it would be suicide for me to take my men there. Five hundred deputies could do nothing more than dozen. Besides have been unable to se- cure men. They all refuse to go."

The Springfield papers printed portraits of Marvin Chapin of Springfield, who passed his Seth birthday on Monday, fam- fly friends and relatives uniting with him in celebration of the occasion. The Re- publican says: MT. Chapin is in excellent health. His mind is as keen and vigor- ous as 1t was 10 years ago, and he looks after his business cares personally, asking no allowances because of his years. Rev. Dr. Burnham, MT. Chapin's pastor, Lieut.. Gov. Halle, H. s. Hyde, Dr. s. D. Brooks, E. c. Robinson and Dr. and Mrs. L. S. Brooks were among those who called up- on him. MT. Chapin is, as all know, a descendant of Dea. Samuel Chapin. He was born at Somers, Conn.,, and early learned the tannery business with his un- cle, Daniel Smith of Westfeld. Farming and clerkships and work with engineering parties occupied his time until he started opee, in 1886. He became proprietor, but soon decided to start a hotel in this city and built the. Massasoit, with which he was actively connected until 1873. The history of that well known hostelry has been identified with MT. Chapin's life
 The proprietors were M. and B. s. Chapin, but the latter withdrew in 1886 and the hotel has since been in charge of the nephew, W. H. Chapin The only son of Marvin Chapin, Rev. John H. Chapin of West Springfield, died in 1879, but his three daughters, Mrs. William Birnie, Mrs. T. L. Chapman and Mrs. David Allen Reed are all settled in this city,
 Industry, economy and strictest integrity have been MT. Chapin's principles in life, and have brought him abundant prosper ity, but he has no less reason to be proud of the good health and mellow, hearty old age which a temperate life and philosophic temperament have done much to insure.

"A nnieter immigration movement. on

IA quieter immigration movement, on scale so extensive as that of the French Canadians to the United States has never witnessed,' says Prosper Bender in the July New England Magazine. 1.-The ma jority of our citizens have as yet no idea of it's extent and results. ,, It Is chiefly within the last generation that this new nation, as it may be styled, has noise lessly overspread these northern states. To-day this new population throughout the United States numbers considerably ovel 800, 900. In New England and New York there are more than 500, 900; in Massachusetts alone the figures reach 12,OO0. This is an astounding aggregate for the brief period of their immigration and the extent of the sources of supply. This result far exceeds, proportionately, that to the credit of either Ireland or Germany. According to Le guide Fran cais des Etats Unis (189D they own real estate amounting to $105, ,328, ,50O; and 1O,696 of the race are doing business for themselves. As we have already said this people, chiefly agricultural, back ward in education and primitive in habit, numbered but ,000 at the time of the cession of Canada to England-1759- 60 ,; while at the present time there are 1, ,700,- 900 of them, not including the outflow to adjoining provinces and the United States" :"

One proof of real progress in building ocean steamers is that they do not go to pieces as they used to. Here is the City of Chicago which tried to knock off a piece of the coast of Ireland, but although on board were removed in safety. It is only few days since the Trave cut down a full-rigged ship and suffered little harm,
 and, in general, the big modern vessels are so put together that the instant sink ing that used to be possible is hardly thought of. Numerous close compart- ments and increased strength account for the difference, and these are modern inn provements .'

The Toledo Blade, in an article com- mending the "Anti- Treating League" lately formed of members of the famous "Union Leagues" of Philadelphia, says: 'tA large share of the incompetence which is such curse to American society is not only promoted but was largely originated by the purely American habit of treating. The habit is founded on a false idea of hospitality. If a man is hungry he goes into restaurant and does not feel the necessity of inviting any friend or party of friends to join him in satisfying his hunger. Why should he if he feels thirsty deem 1t any more incumbent on him to call upon his friends to share his pota- tions? The formation of anti-treating leagues seems to be feasible means of combating the habit and gradually up- roofing the mistaken idea of hospitality, which is it's root and origin.''
 Such leagues are being started in Con- necticut. Information concerning the movement may be obtained by addressing "League," Rockville, Conn.

THE LIGHTS TURNED on.


Beautiful Success of tho Test of the Arc
Lights mt the City Electric Plant Ycster-
day Afternoon.
! Yesterday afternoon witnessed the
successful elimination of the work on
the city's electric light plant, for which
the public hasbccn patiently waiting
for months.
In the morning the new standards of
the friction clutches were placed in
position, which made every dynamo
independent, SO that any one could be
cut off from the others while the entire
shafting was revolving at full speed.
This completed all the machinery to be
placed in the building. These had been
delayed afew days on the road.
Z AS everything was working smoothly
and nice it was determined to test the
lamps. AT thirty minutes past four the
lights were turned on for the first time.
Mr.. Albert Franzheim, who has been
actively interested in the plan. ever
since its inception, turned the cog
wheel OF the dynamo that lighted row
OF twenty OF the lamps, all OF which
burned with beautiful, steady, clear
white light, without the slightest sign
OF Pickering.
+ Ii the lamps burn as nicely through
out all the circuits. the city will have a
system OF street lighting to which it can
point with just pride.
Every part OF the machinery is work
ing smoothly without the slightest jar
or vibration. Only the south engine
was run yesterday. To-day both will
be started, and all the lamps now hung
will be tested.

THE TARIFF NOT A TAX.
A Common little Article with an
Interesting Tariff History.
WHY AMERICANS Make GOOD FILES
Wien in Former Years they Imported
all they Uscd...Thc Protective Tariff
did this, aud to-day Files are Cheap.
erin this Country than Ia England.

Tho little article Of files, 4 tool used
moro or less by all mechanics, Is n good
illustration Of tho WORKING OF n protcc.
tive tarlli. To-day there is high duty
on files, yet thoyarc sold cheaper in
this country lanthoy can DO boughtin
England. ~. y
For instance, Wheeling iobbers all sell
ilvc.inch taper saw files atyG cents,
sometimes lower mover higher, per
dozen. Yet tho tariff OH that very illo
Is scvcnty-ivc cents per dozen.
Ina letter from Philadelphia printed
in the Iron Age OF February 4, 1892, page
eo3, tho writer uses files as an illustra.
tion'of tho falsity Of tho Democratic
idea that "the tariff is tax" in the fol.
lowing plain and convincing manner:
Rcter TO files as an illustration. In
the year 1850 q a l-inch English hand
saw file was sold in this country at IS
cents per dozen, and l2.inch English
mill saw file at s. 10 per dozen. Then
tho consumption OF flies in tho United
States was estimated at about 10 per
cont OF Americau.madc files and 90 per
cent OF foreign product, the comparison
in 1891 being about 0S per cent OF Amer
ican and . per cent OF English produc-
ton, and tho consumption many times
greater than it ,was in 1850. At the
present time tho duty on 4I-inch hand
saw files is IS cents per dozen, and, TO
ascertain the present foreign cost the
writer, in anticipation OF this article,
cabled to England to ascertain the pres.
ent discount, and; from return cable
gram quoting prices, We learn that the
present cost in Sheffield for q 4!-inch
hand saw file is 81 cents, whereas any
good iobbing house from New York or
Philadelphia to Chicago or st. Louis is
quite willing to sell the best American
4!-inch hand saw files at 4S cents per
dozen, being 20 per cent less than they
can purchase the same quality OF Eng
fish file in Sheffield, to which would
necessarily be added transportation,
dock charges and the importers profit.
II theory was correct, the American
manufacturers would DO getting 81 SO
for their 44-inch hand saw files instead
OF IS cents. A Pinch mill saw file, for
the best American make, is now sold by
jobbing houses at 81 %. Standard for
eign makers cost would be, in Sheffield,
50 81. an advance Of over 33h per cent
cost in Sheffield above what American
files arc sold for. II the above theory
was correct the Americans would be
getting So o. for a Pinch mill saw file
instead: oil 81 %.
