Political Party and Faction Bad
Mixed In Billiards. Election.

Mfxed In baIiard's Election.
The election for municipal officers for
the city of Ballard, which occurs tomor-
row, is causing an active canvass among
the rival candidates and arousing consid-
cradle speculation on the part of the pub
lie as TO the result. There has been so
much division among the different polit-
ical parties and the voters are divided into
SO many factions. which in turn are un-
usually mixed, that il Is difficult even for
those most familiar with municipal affairs
to accurately predict the result.
There are three different tickets in the
field, and il Is safe 10 say no one ticket
will be elected in Its entirety. The citi-
xens' reform ticket is supported chiefly by
Populists. who. though numerous. have
committed several plumbers. which may
cost their most popular nominees their
election. Their platform Is full of abb
surdities; the name reform is an unfortu-
nate one and too suggestive of Kruggery
to appeal fayorably to a large body of vot-
era. They have allowed political hoodoo
to manage their campaign. and three of
their candidates, If elected, cannot qualify
for the Offices. City Attorney E. Peters
says the law clearly states that no one
who has not resided year in the city can
hold any Office. elective or appointive.
This disoualities q. Charlesw orth. reform
candidate for mayor. who claims q resi-
dence OF thirty days only, and William
Henry Lleweliyn, reform candidate for
councilman, who has resided in Ballard
since last June. Alexander Grub,
another reform candidate for councilman.
is also said to be disqualified because he
has never become A citizen
The business mems independent ticket
is also unfortunate in its choice of names.
and is like the play of Hamlet" with the
part of Hamlet lett out. Its composed of
one cobhler, one fireman, one lumber piler.
one laborer, three who ar 9 not engaged in
any business, one druggist and one
butcher. They call themselves indepen-
dent because none of the mass eonyen.
tions would nominate their candidates for
treasurer. clerk and marshal.
This ticket Endorsed two nominees on
the citizens non partisan ticket. the
mayor and one councilman, who will
probably be elected, and the nominee for
city attorney on the reform ticket. whose
chances for election are thereby made
much better.
The candidates on the citizens ncn-par-
tisan ticket are Republicans and Demo-
Gratis In about equal numbers, and their
chief support will be from the ranks OF
those parties The chances for the cleo
tion OF the majority of this ticket are con-
ssderet favorable. The race, however. be-
tween the rival candidate. on the citirens'
non-pariisan ticket and those on the cit,-
rens' reform ticket IL is shought will be
very close.

THE cur IN WAGES.

The shses-iron and sheet-sseei manufac-
turers Of Pitisburg have made 10 per
cent. reduction in twenty-one mills. The
manner In which many mills have been
injuriously affected BY threatened free
trade legislation may DO judged BY the
case of the Akron Iron Company. Of
Akron. o. In October OF last year. on the
eve Of election Of Cleveland. this firm
turned out 1900 tons of finished product.
while In the same month of this year their
output amounted 10 only i7s tons. This
great falling off In production necessarily
means reduction in the number OF hands
employed. IL would b = Yuinous policy
for the Akron Iron Company to employ as
many hands ~ II did when IL WAS turning
out ABOUT fourteen times A. much Of the
finished product ~ il il at present. In
1890 the iron and steel industries OF this
country gave employment to 10000 men.
II IL estimated that about one-half. or
225. 900 workers In iron and steel are idle at
the present moment
In the recent hearings before the COM
mittee Of ways and means president Of
steel company stated that this time last
year his company employed $500 men, to
whom Was paid in 1s92. 80. Sc. 900. He in
formed the committee that in consequences
Of the avowed purpose OF the political
party In power to cut down the tariff the
company of which he was president had
shut down several of it, mills until on
October 1, 1903, instead Of $500 men ac-
lively engaged at good wages there were
in the employment Of the company only
LOO men, whose wages had been reduced.
Reports from 6sf manufacturing establish
meDts in forty-four different states furnish
us with material for the following striking
comparison:
Hands employed .... i6o.41s 1860
Weekly wages paid. ......u, 7e2, ass ss43. $50
These figures speak for themselves.
Free wool has caused the Nonantum
worstsd Company of Boston 20 notify its
hands that reduction Of the tariff ~ by
the proposed new Law will necessitats the
reduction of wages or stoppags Of the
mills.
All the mines and mills Of the country
will be compelled 20 close their doors or
cut wages, The american Cotton and Wool
Reporter. of Boston. Mass, finds that of
the io2 mills from which IL received re-
ports, ~ are running on full time. ~ ON
partial time and AZ are shut down. II
finds that the total number Of looms in
operation is 1855, and that the total num-
Der OF looms Idle is 5,6iI. The number o!
hands employed Is 1905. as against .. 443

Rod in fs22. A decrease In production of
almost 100000 yards could not fail to

surprising that only seven mills cut of q
total of sevsnty-six are running on full
time; forty-sevcn are running on part
time, and thirty-eight are shut down com
plesely. That Is what threatened attacks
on the tariff have done done for New Eng

very pleasant end important ideas on
show to teach language and pro,
ceeded to discuss some technical
points of dispute We are proud to
chronicle that Prof. White, of Gibson
county, aided US in this subject.
United States history by Prof.
Ross was we'll disposed of. His ideas
of studying geography and history
together and of locating historical
places by map drawing doubtless
would be a good method. He also
favors the outline system, and by
this we conclude he might be a nor-
malite. Alter many pointed re-
marks on this subject, the Institute
adjourned to meet the 9Th at am,
but owing to the extreme lncIemency
Of the weather, it did not convene
till 1870 p. N.
At that time text books by Prof.
|. N. Roland were brought before
the teachers and people. lie made
the adoption Of a series of text books
beneficial by many illustrations, and
Prof. Ross sustained his views by his
own experience in different states.
Arithmetic having been assigned
to myself, we tried to impress the
great Importance Of studying the
subject and princ ipIes, rather than
mechanism and rules ''How to
teach different parts Of the subject"
was well presented by a number of
teachers.
What would seem to some the
least Of all, but az we regard the great
est-"Primary Reading" was disposed
of by Miss f. S. Norment, who
showed that she had bad no little
experience in this line of work.
Next the Institute adjourned till
8 pm, when Prof. r. III. Little pro-
ceeded to discuss some parts of Ian
guage. He showed very clearly that
we can eliminate in some things and
retain smooth and perfect book.
School government by Profs. Ross
and Roland was noticed next in order.
They seem to want TO be master of
their work, but 80 rule by love
rather than fear"
After that came Tennessee history.
Prof. Roland showed chat Tennessee
excelled in many things, and that
her history was not that dry, monot-
onous subject az many think.
Education in the South" was the
closing theme, and Prof. Little first
showed what education meant. His
argument was all good, especially
the fact that we are living IN a new
South.
Before closing our report we must
say that the people of Salisbury aud
vicinity, by their kind hospitality,
placed the many teachers and visitors
under grateful recolecuons in the
future. q. w. RAY, Sec'y.
