TRADE REVIEW.

Business Threatened with Another Inter
ruption by the Strike on Western Rail-
roads-Other Changes Have Been for the
BetteS
NEW YORK, June 30.-R. G. Dun 81
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The great strike of coal miners has
ended at most points but another
threatens to interrupt business more
seriously for time, though the num-
Der of hands engaged is comparatively
small. Travel and traffic are we'll nigh
arrested on about twenty western
roads already, and strikers are threat
ened on all roads which use Pullman
cars. AS the public and railroads leas-
ing the cars have no power to say what
wages shall be paid at the Pullman
shops and the receipts Of that company
from the railroads do not depend on
the running of leased cars it is difficult
to calculate how long so peculiar a
strike may last, or how far it may ex-
tend
On the whole, other changes during
the week have been for the better.
Many manufacturing establishments
which were stopped for lack of fuel
have resumed.
The resumption of work in mines and
mills has made good progress, but the
demand for products is as yet smaller
and less urgent than was expected.
Buyers apparently wait for lower prices
Of iron and steel products, which man
ufacturers are slow to give in view Of
the increased cost of materials and
products. After a suspension Of half
the working force for more than a
month it was expected that orders for
products would be very large, but in
some there is general complaint OF
dullness and narrow demand and prices
of Bessemer pig and some finished forms
are little weaker.
Shipments Of boots and shoes from
Boston were smaller for the week than
last year, but for four weeks Of June
were 234, ,O24 cases, against S2s,142 last
year. The demand for cheaper goods
continues fairly large and in some
grades is larger than year ago, but in
higher priced goods the business is still
remarkably narrow.
Textile manufactures are much en-
barrassed by the near approach Of prob
able change in the tariff, the effect of
which cannot yet be calculated. In
spite of this reason for deferring orders
and purchases, the number of mills
quitting work is not yet as large as was
expected, for there appears a little
more demand from clothiers and job
bers.
Customs receipts for the month have
been only II, s,551, ,467 and the years de-
felt will be about SsO,OOO,OO A con-
siderable deficit is expected in July.
No correct statement of failures for
June or the half year is yet possible,
but our weekly returns show crafty
ing improvement over last year. In
June the failures have been about $50
and in the half year about 7,l00.
For the week ended June 80 business
failures numbered pa in the United
States, against 3O7 last year, and 35 in
Canada against % last year.

A Brief Biographical sketch of the Hon.
Winfield =. Kerr.

A Brief Biographical Sketch of the Hon.
Winfield s. Kerr.
The Hon. Winfield Scott Kerr, repub-
lican nominee for congress in the four
teenth district, comes Of Legislative stock.
He was born June 23, 1852, near Lucas,
on the farm of Solomon GLADDEN., his
grandfather, who was a representative
from Richland county in the state legis-
lature early in the thirties. His father,
Alexander Kerr, one of Monroe townships
sturdy farmers, died in 1863. Mrs. Kerr,
the venerable mother, is still living and
resides at Marion. Mr.. Kerr's early life
embraced the usual pursuits of the cOun-
try boy. At the age of eighteen he be-
came a freight brakeman on the p, f..
W. & c., which he followed until he lost
his left arm in an accident at MassillOn,
October 3, 1872. The train on which Mr..
Kerr was brakeman ran off the track at
the G., L. & W. crossing and threw him
from the top Of ear. It was his great
misfortune to fall under the wheels which
crushed his arm, necessitating amputa-
tiOn. As soon as he recovered from his
injuries he learned telegraphing and for
two years was operator at Lucas. But
the young man had higher aims in life.
He entered the Ann ArbOr law school in
1877, from which he graduated two years
later, He then came to Mansfield, re-
viewed his legal studies with Col. S. L.
Fink preparatory to his examination and
was admitted to the bar July /, 1879. He
hung out his shingle in Mansfield where

river division Of the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad, shot and killed II. c.

morning. Parsons owned the Natural

character on his train without collect

women had insulted ladies OF his (Par.

CONGRESSIONAL DALLlANcE.


Congress has already been in session
seven months and there is no prospect of
an adjournment for some weeks to come.
During the civil war there was ten times
the public business to attend to, yet con-
gress would meet and attend to it and
adjourn in ninety days-nOw it takes
about that time to get ready to do busi-
ness. The question naturally arises as
to why so much time is required. The
lower house appears to do its work with
in a reasonable time, but in the senate
there is continual dalliance.
We do not propose to censure any par
ticular member, but we are satisfied that
unless that body adopts radical change
in its method of handling public business
the people will enforce change, both
radical and perpetual.

WASHINGTON, June 80. The state
ment was made yesterday from an au-
thoritative source that no issue Of bonds
will be made by the administration
during the summer, that the president
and Secretary Carlisle are in thorough
accord on the financial policy Of the
treasury and that an end to gold ex-
ports to Europe is believed TO be about
reached. The administration expects
the new tariff bill to go into effect by
August and after that date increased
revenues are looked for.

Thirteen years ago July 2 President
Garfield was assassinated and Sunday,
June "a, the president OF the French re-
public met a similar fate. Mayor Har-
risOn, of Chicago was shot down just
previous to the closing of the worlds
fair. It is to be regretted that nations
and communities should have to suffer
on account Of the predOminance Of the
murderOus instinct in certain element
Of society, whose diseased minds lead
them to attempt the destruction Of prom
inent men. The disease is dangerous
one and demands the application Of a
strong remedy. A few centuries ago
such men were made examples of-ex-
amples which left lasting impression
upon the minds Of the living. This
country is far too lenient and too slow in
meeting ont justice TO such fanatics.
When the perpetratOr Of such deed is
captured and known we can hardly see
the propriety Of having a drawnOut trial.
The same method might be adopted with
reference to other law breakers and save
the state great expense, secure justice to
all and satisfy the people.

good news. The district is largely re-

ceiying the support of the full strength
Of the party at the polls. Twice within
the past twelve years when Richland
county has been in a republican congress
siOnal district democrat from Mansfield
has been elected.

WOMEN AND POLITICS.

One Of the speakers at the recen
dinner given in this city in honor o
the Pilgrim Mothers declared that i
was the duty of women to acquire
political education SO thorough tha
the male citizens of the republic would
feel that American institutions imper.
atively require the active support o.
! feminine intelligence and patriotism
| There is great force in this advice ,ano
it should be generally followed. The
statement is often made that women
should gain theoretical knowledge
Of politics; that they should study the
Constitution of the United States, of
their State and their city, and secure
q thorough knowledge of the plat
forms on which the two great parties
stand.
This is good SO far as it goes. Wo
men should have a theoretical knowl-
edge of politics; and the sounder and
broader it is, the more they will ad-
vance their own cause. But theory
is not enough. 1t is sometimes dan
gerous, because from it's abstact ma
ture it may be misleading. There
have been theoretical women politi-
clans in all ages, from the Greek AS
pasta to Nine. Roland women who
could sometimes change the policy of
a government by half hours tete-a-
tete with statesman in their salons.
Their example proves that theoretical
politics in the hands of woman can
become power, but power attend
ed with perils; because in welding it
principle is sometimes sacrificed to
gallantry on the part of the man in
6uenced, Or to vanity and ambition
on the part of the woman.
The best results can be obtained
only when women learn politics by
practical methods. In the beginning
they will probably learn by their mis-
takes, but every year will find them
more advanced in the mastery Of the
most complex science in the world.
The chances are that to the ''new wo-
man" at. the polls the completely of
politics would eventually resolve it
self into the simplicity of vote given
in intelligent allegiance to the princi
pies that make for the welfare of So
,iety and the secrEity of the home

Mr.. NOODLE AND THE CRAFTS
BURY ACADEMY.
FOR THE MONITOR. |

The donation supper at Craftsbury,
Dec. "A, for, the benefit of Rev. r. M.
Noodle, principal of Craftsbury acad-
envy, was patronized by all in the vi
cinity interested in appreciation of
the good work Mr.. Noodle is doing.
The most noble and beneficial work
done to-day for every community
and the country at large is done in
our school rooms. No one will ques-
ton that Mr.. Noodle is aware of the
necessity and benefit of such work.
He has devoted himself to the hard
ship Of the schoolrOom, to the intri-
cate things of the classics and scien-
ces with a masterhand. He has not
only labored in this little academy as
student, but also in Williston Semin-
ary, Yale University and in Auburn
Theological Seminary. No one but
thorough scholar could feel SO per-
fectly at home in such a position. He
little flock without compensation SO
that they may be better fitted for the
life before them. With knowledge
of this, and on account of the regard
we have for Mr.. Noodle and the in
institution, we proposed donation for
his benefit. Assistance was asked for
throughout the town, the neighbour
| ing towns and from friends of the
academy, who hadn been students
here years ago, some of whom are
now taking sfirst rank in business and
the professions.

tents Of letters received from Mr.. I'll.

It is an important question with each
:, boy and girl in town whether his ed
ucation shall be CIT off at twelve or
( fourteen years of age and called COM
plete, when leaving the district school
or whether the town shall furnish a
higher school at town expense.
We hear muchEabout advancement
in education, and here we might ask
another question: "Does the district
school furnish any of our children
with the education they require?
Many friends of the academy are

will make. 81 himself principal Of the

with May Harlaw of Oberlin College
