Some Aspects Of the Miner's Riots.

The rioting among the cCke burners snd
miners of Pennsylvania, contain, another
object lesson against unrestricted immigra
ton and the alarming lack of Americana
ing influences among certain classes of Ia
Dor brought here from Europe. 1t is no.
toiious fact in connection with this troub e
that the English speaking laborers refused
to be connected with the disturbance. II
shows the advantages which employers as
well as communities derive from the en-.
ploy ment of intelligent labor that is adapted
to the laws of the community. The strike
appears to have been unauthorized, i'll timed
and unreasonable. The condition of the
Huns no are prominent in the agita ion is
no doubt deplorsble. But there isn't the
slightest possibility, if the circumstsr-
cs are rightly reported for the m
t, better that condition. The more
intelligent lsborers, those acquainted with
the laws of the country appreciate this fact.
The Huns do not. No sooner do they quit
work than they proceed TO infisme them
| selves with Intoxicating liquors and act lib e
demons disgrscing thereby self-fespect-
ing labor and injuring themselves.
1t may not be that the employers
have directly imported these huns but is
fair to presume that they have encourage
the importation of this cheap class of labor
partly because they could not easily get fer
certain kinds of work sufficient workme n
from among the better classes and partly
because they saw an element of profit N

grade of living possible under the hard con-

and as they never could have understood it
until Its power had become complete in every

The sweeping Republican victories at the
city and town elections in Ohio and Michi-
gan look very like landslide. which
in its fuller development, will bury the
Democrats under an adverse ma jority at
the congre ssional elections in November
1t will surely do so unless the Democratic
leaders in Congress can manage to retain,
at lesst in part the confidence of the bus.-
ness voters of the country, which they have
forfeited by their incompetence and folly.
We are not at all surprised that the popu-
lar tide is setting sgainst the Democrats
throughout the northern states. In this
country when a party bids high for defeat,
discontinue is ce rtain to overtake it. Ever
since Congress came together the Demo
cratic leaders have been making bids for a
rebuke at the hands of the business
voters. Their long DELAY ard frequent
vacillstons in framing tariff bill,
their refusal to give the treasury
authority to issue low-priced bonds
and their perpicious policy in regard TO the
currency are very damaging counts in the
indictment to which they have to plead al
the bar of the electorate. For months they
have been sowing the wind with free
hand, and now they are reapiug whirlwind
which bids fair to blow them out of power.

VOORHEES, in Collision With Facts.
Boston Advertiser.

Senator Voorhees, said that the wages of
xorkingmen or workingwomen had not in
cressed in proportion to the increase in
'arif rates but in saying so he showed a
strange ignorance of the statistics. The facts
IRE that under protection wages have stead
jly increased. Since the close of the war
wages have increased in manv industIi les
from % to 40 per cent on gold basis, yet
the average rate of duty on all imported
articles has decreased from IS per cent to 90
per cent the rate on dutiable articles has
advanced from As to - per cent, while the
free list has increased from TO 50 per cent,
aud the amount of duty per capita has fall n
from S4.34 to less than 50. although i'm
portations have increased from 1888 to
sl2 81 per capita. 1t is pity that Senator
voorhees, did not see fit to allude to these
statistics when he made his remarkable
statement regarding wages and duties.
