Four Great Leading Features
There are four great leading features
of inauguration day: the closing hours
of congress, into which so much law
making and history are frequently
crowded; the ride of the retiring presi-
dent and the president and vice presi-
dent-elect, with their military escort,
rom the White House to the
capitol to lay down and take up
the reins of power respectively; the
pageant of the returning procession,
and the inaugural ball.

n FINANCIAL POLICY

New YoRK. March At is re-
ported in financial circles that Prssi-
dent-elect Cleveland and his new secre-
tary of tie treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, have
approved and will put into operation a
financial policy upon the following
basis
I. Retire all paper money.
Q. Coin silver to take it's place. Issue
coin certificates as receipts for deposits
of coin.
3. Establish an equivalent fund. to
hold and maintain the difference, in
gold, between the bullion value and the
face value of silver coin. -.

ministration will purchase the gold re.

revenues of the treasury from year tc

imposing in the military and civic dis
play. In 1885 there were at the outside
not more than 25, 900 me- in line in the
inaugural parade.
At Least 10000 Men,
with leaven OF fair women, marched
today along the great national avenue
to or from the Capitol. Today also the
governors of IL great states, New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts in the North and East; ;of Penn
sylvania and Maryland, among the
Middle states; of Georgia, North and
South Carolina and Louisiana in the
South, and of Wisconsin in the West,
participated in the national ceremonies
and thereby emphasized the complete
restoration of national unity. A more
interesting and significant event than
this, perhaps in the eyes of other ma
tions and the historian, were the mani
festation OF the
Marvellous Growth OF the Country
in population and power, and the fact
that this momentous and majestic
change in the government of 10, ,00O, 900
OF people was accomplished according
to cut and dried formula, every step
of which was planned and publicly
announced beforehand. and without
noticeable disturbance of public inter
ests or the creation of any excitement
except that naturally accompanying a
great national pageant and the influx of
100000 or 100000 sightseers into the
capital.
History Repeats Itself
The order OF proceeding was almost
identically the same as four years ago.
with the action of the chief participants
reversed, and it differed very little,
except in the extent of the demonstra-
tion, from the ceremonies of eight years
ago, which brought Mr.. Cleveland to
Washington, ton the 2d of March, 1885
for the first time in his public career.

THE FACTORY INSPECTION BILL.

Some two weeks ago Senator ComstocE
OF Providence introduced in the General
Assent bly, an act TO regulate the employ
ment and provide for the safety OF women
and children in mercantile and manu-
factoring establishments, otherwise
known as the Factory Inspection Bill.
rhe act is in the line OF progress, as wa
attested by the great number OF promi-
nent and philsnthrophic ladies who at
tended the public hearing yesterday in
the Senate chamber.
The act as presented forbids the en-
ployment in any factory OF any child un.
der the age OF twelve years, thereby rais-
ing the age limit two years. 1t also pro-
vides for the appointment of two Facto-
ry Inspectors one OF whom shall be o
woman who shall visit the various facto.

A provision is also embodied in the bill,
which eompels owners, agents or iessees
to protect or enclose any hosting shaft or
well hole in a safe and substantial man
ner, and cause all elevator doors TO be
equipped with proper traps or automatic
doors, so that the action OF the elevator In
its passage ascending or descending will
open or close them as required.
A penalty of $500 is provided for viola
tion OF the provisions Of the act, and
provision Is also made for a Board OF Ap-
peal whose decision Is to be Anal In all
cases.
Nearly all Of the charitable and religious
organizations in the State favor the pas

A MEASURE OF JUSTICE.

The weavers Of Fall River are now
making an effort to secure the passage OF
an act by the Massachusetts Legislature
requiring specifications OF their work to
be furnished to employees in factories, and
also an act to provide for a State Board OF
Arbitration for the settlement OF differ.
ences between employers and employees.
Both Of these measures appear to be
nothing more than the factory operatives
are entitled to both as q matter OF pro-
lection and justice.
The act requiring the furnishing OF
particulars to the 1900 weavers In the
Bay State sets forth that "any person who
10 engaged as a weaver In the cotton,
worsted or woolen trade, and Is paid by
the piece in any factory or workshop
shall have supplied to him such speciHcs-
tions OF his work as shall enable him to
ascertain before he begins, the rate OF
wages he is entitled to receive for the
same, and the occupier of the factory or
workshop shall supply him with such
specification accordingly" Special inspec.
tors who are competent weavers are to be
employed to enforce this act and their
testimony alone In court shall be deemed
sufficient for conviction. It has been
demonstrated that under the present reg.
ulations the only thing a weaver really
knows about his work is the price he Is
being paid and the width Of the cloth, and
often times he does not know the price
OF the cut till after II is woven. What the
weavers want is when a warp is put In to
have list OF specifications showing the
length OF cut, picks per inch, piece per
cut, width and reed. With this iniorma-
ton the weaver has an opportunity to
know whether or not he is being cheated.
Under the system now In operation
there is general feeling among weavers
that they are constantly imposed upon
and cheated out Of portion OF their earn.
ings. Extra yards OF cloth are put on a
cut, but the weaver knows nothing about
II. IT has been shown in evidence that
in one mill difference Of three pounds
was found In certain grades OF cloth
after the name OF the goods had been
changed. In another there was a differ
ence OF nine cents for weaving the same
piece OF cloth in different parts OF the
same mill. II was also shown that
weavers had also been cheated by the
lengthening and changing OF patterns,
and by changing the pick OF loom from
30 to 10, without any increase being given
TO the wesvers.
No doubt the injustice complained oi
hos been the cause OF many strikes, bu,
II hardly seems probable that the weaver.
have been taken advantage OF to such an
extent as some OF them allege In their tes.
timony. The bill, however, before tn,
Massachusetts Legislature would sur
round wesvers with much needed protec
tion, but II would be a rather difficult
measure to enforce. The specis
inspectors even though they wer'
themselves thoroug bly, oompstent wesvers
would be clothed with good deal Of srbi
trary authority, but In the end the meas
uro could not fail to prove sdvsntsgeou'

perform, and they certainly are entitled
to 1t. Labor legislation, however, should be
carefully and calmly disested before being
placed on the statute books OF any State,
but In the present instance the weavers
appear to have made out good case, and
one that needs prompt and effective atten-
tion.
