THE latest and one of the most log ical uses found for aluminium, the light metal, is in the manufacture of equipments to be borne by soldiers on the march The metal is becoming cheaper every day and there is no doubt whatever but that it will event ually supercede cast and even wrought iron as less expensive methods of sep arating it from its union with silicon in clay are devised.

TIE reports of the American mis- sionaries fully confirm the stories of the outrages perpetrated by the Turks and their Kurdish hirelings upon the Armenians, the number of the killed being estimated at ten thousand; and it is to be hoped that early and effective action will be taken in the case by the signatory powers of the Berlin treaty, for their own credit as well as in the interest of civilization.

THE low price of sugar is due in some degree to the same causes affecting wheat, cotton and other agricultural products. The European beet-root crop is about 9OO,0O0 tons larger than last year, and the worlds supply of raw sugar shows an increase of 927 ,OOO tons over 1893, making the crop the largest on record

The sound Of President Cieveland's
unsparing criticism of the German bill
had hardly died away in the House be-
fore that body made haste to adopt the
perfidious bill their chief had so bitterly
denounced, and Mr.. Cleveland is now
confronted with condition, and not a
theory. 1t is generally admitted
that the bill will become law
either with or without his
approval. Those who had a pretended
belief that he would veto it, have aban-
doned their pretence. and no one longer
INDUCES even in the hope that he will
have the courage to kill il by his veto.
Such situation justifies the biting
epitome Of Democratic shame which
Tom Reed gave utterance to in the
House, when he declared
1--WE shall not write your epitaph.
That has been done by the man whose
name mrst be affixed to the bill before
1t can discredit the statute book. He
tells you that this bill is an instance of
perfidy, injustice and dishonor. We
have got nothing to do in the next cam
paign except to read the testimony of
your chief magistrate, under whose
protecting wing the committee on ways
and means of the House of Representa-
tives have lived SO that we did not know
at any moment whether they were a
committee of the House of Represen ia
tives or committee of the Executive.
Out OF your household has come your
condemnation. Nay. out of your own
mouth has your condemnation come.
For we shall read that bold aud uncom-
promising declaration of the chairman
OF the committee on ways and means
that we were TO sit here until the end of
our term to put down the Sugar Trust.
l wish could congratulate the country
upon something, and | will upon the
speedy departure of incompetency."
This exhausts the subject. There
isn't word to be added, nor one to be
taken away.
IL gives the public faint idea of what
the State papers of Thomas B Reed will
be, If his party honors him as it is likely
to do, and as we of the East strongly
desire 1t to do, two years from this fail.

STRANGE CONDITION OF THINGS.

Outsiders can hardly understand why
it is that the present condition of affair,
in the Seventh Massachusetts, Congress
sional District, now represented by DIR
| Everett, is allowed TO exist.
At the last vacancy ex-Speaker Bar
rett and ex- Mayor Hayes of Lynn were
rival candidates for the Republican
nomination. Barrett won in fair fight
and received the nomination. The
| Hayes men were disgruntled and did moi
yield loyal support to their party nomi-
nee, and the result was that DIR. Win
lam Everett, nonresident Democrat
stepped into the shoes Of Henry Cabot
Lodge, with mere handful of votes to
spare.
Mr.. Barrett early announced his in
tention this year of again seeking the
nomination, which belongs by right and
by courtesy to him. Senator Lodge,
who would personally prefer TO see Mr..
Hayes take his old seat, at a meeting of
his friends picked up Hayes again and
threw him into the ring.
Barrett, the party nominee, was once
defeated, ii not by the direct orders Of
Hayes, at least by his own personal
friends, because they were not victorious
in the convention, and yet these men
who proved disloyal TO their party
and TO whose indifference, TO use
mild term, was due the election Of a
carpet-bagger Democrat, now desire TO
create division in the party and send
some other Democrat to Congress to
represent Republican district, and the
strangest part of it is they seem to have
the aid and countenance of Senator
Lodge. Mr.. Barrett is an experienced
legislator, an able speaker and thor
oughly pCsted on all matters of public
Importance, as his successful conduct Of
the Boston Advertiser and the Boston
Record demonstrate He has done val
liant service for his party, aud his can
didacy is unquestionably the result of
desire of the nine-tenths of the Repub-
licans of his district.
1t may be presumption on the part of
an outsider to interfere in family quar-
rel, but the Republican party can not
afford to indulge in any family quarrels
this year and the nation is interested in
having as many strong Republicans in
the next Congress as possible.
Mr.. Hayes may be very good man
for the place, but it belongs by right, by
custom and by courtesy to William L.
Barrett and right, custom and courtesy
should always prevail in Republican
ranks.

WHAT BRADsTREET's FINDS.

Bradstreets, the leading business paper
OF the country, conducted by the great
mercantile agency whose name it bears.
publishes today special telegraphic and
mail advices summarizing interviews
with more than five hundred leading
wholesale dealers aud manufacturers at
~ cities throughout the country, as TO
the present effect IL any, of the pros
pective tariff settlement, aud the outlook
as TO the effect Of the Senate tariff bill
should it become law.
These replies are about what THE
NEWS has expected. In the Northern
manufacturing districts there is little
or 30 buoyancy, in the South and Cen
tral States there is feeling Of satisfac-
ton at the end Of the struggle.
The general effect will be 10 reduce
wages and on this point Bradstreet.s
says:
A feature is found in declarations
from manufacturers Of woolen goods,

NOT A GENUINE REVIVAL.

One of the biggest wholesale dry goods
men in New York. commenting on the
extraordinary volume of business done
since the House passed the German bill,
pointedly remarked: "This shows how
much the country has to blame the
Democrats for putting an embargo on
commerce for so long time. Buyers
are trying to do the business of two
months in week. and the result is
general haste, confusion and dissatisfac-
tion. 1t is not, l fear, revival of
trade. 1t is simply the rush
OF a current which for a
long time had been damned mp. Buyers,
in fact, are laying in smaller stocks
than have ever known before. and the
general aggregate of sales will be shown
on the first of the year to be far below
what it should have been. Consumers
may, perhaps, be offered goods at lower
prices than heretofore, but the low
wages at present rob many of them of
the power to bny."
This is in line with THE News con-
tention from the beginning. This ere
vival" of business is but temporary,
due chiefly to the exhaustion of stocks
caused by the prolonged paralysis of
trade, and when the country adjusts
itself to the new conditions under which
trade must be carried on it will be found
that the purchasing power of the people
has been so greatly diminished that the
lower prices will bring no benefit to the
classes which the bill sought primarily
to relieve.
The curtailment of wages made
necessary in order to meet European
conditions will be found to more than
offset any possible reduction in living
expenses, while the direct taxation of
the people will largely increase their
daily expenses.

FILTRATION.

No problem that the City Council has
had to deal with in years, except that
of terminal facilities and the sewerage,
has been of more Importance than the
matter Of filtering the Pawtuxet water
for public use. And, inasmuch as the
problem bears directly upon the health
of the people, il may be said that even
those municipal enterprises which in
volved more money have not been Of so
grave Importance. II is necessary that
the best plan for filtration should be
adopted, both on the score of health and
In view also OF the financial side Of the
problem, the former being decidedly the
more important. The Council has al
ready taken action on the matter, and 1t
should not rescind that action without
full investigation and human certainty
that change will better accomplish the
object desired.
Filtration is n big problem. and of
serious public interest to the taxpayers
aud TO the people at large. Thousands
OF dollars must be expended, aud the
result must neither be failure nor ex-
travagance.

reduced. Importers OF woolens are
said to have the market this fall, and
clothing dealers, it is declared, should
do fair business, but not try to carry
over lightweights on Jan. 1. Cotton
merchants declare settlement of the
tariff comes too late TO help them this
fall, and lumber dealers speak
regretfully of the reduction of duty in
their line"
In regard TO the business revival
"opinion seems TO favor the probability
of ar-by gain in volume Of trans
actions in general lines, due to necessity
FOR supplying depleted stocks, but there
are many who expect reaction after
such improvement, due 10 the conserva-
tive influences born of the experiences
Of the past year, No serious reductions
in prices in any line appear prob
able, effects of probable tariff changes
apparently having been discounted"
and Bradstreet concludes that, "aside
from probable improvement due to end
ing uncertainty in business, neither Bos.
ton Providence, Buffalo. Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, Newark or Rochester mer-
chants interviewed express noteworthy
enthusiasm as to the trade prospect.
This is not statement of partisan
paper, but the result of direct investi-
CATION among the business industries of
the country by mercantile house, alb
solutely non partisan, to obtain the
judgment of the business men of the
country upon tine effect of prospective
and probable legislation, in order that it
might inform its thousands OF patrons
OF the true conditions.
And the best that can be said of the
effect that the bill has or is likely TO
have is that it will result in the placing
of orders merely to partially replace the
depleted stocks now held throughout the
country, and this revival to be followed
by reaction.

THREE LIVELY FIRES.
One Was at Pawtuxet and Two in
This City.

The Hayward block, the most preten-
tious business structure in Pawtuxet, was
destroyed By fire this morning, entailing a
loss OF 10000, partially covered by insur-
ance. Three men were injured by falling
electric wires. The block was a two-story
wooden structure, adjoining the easterly
END OF the bridge ut the falls. The first
noor and basement were occupied by III.
M. Jenckes, grocer, whose stock was
valued at e450O. The store on the
bridge street corner was occupied by
>. "A. Scheliinger, dealer in hay, grain,
coai and wood. He was associated with
Mr.. Jenckes and the stock was worth
about $1,000. The fire was undoubtedly of
incendiary origin and this is the second
time In hve years that firebugs have de-
stroyed 1T. The villagers were aroused by
Albert II. Luther, who discovered the
flames pouring out of the basement in
great volume. Before the local volunteer
company could rally the block was
doomed and the fire was attacking sur
rounding property. Postmaster Arnold
telephoned to the city department
for assistance and Steamer 10 and
Hose 10 responded. The local firemen
were greatly harrassed by the trolley
wires strung in front of the block and
charged with electricity. Firemen Frank
johnson and William Gum OF the local
company were knocked down and
stunned. Fred Johnson sought to rescue
Frank johnson and he was knocked over.
They subsequently rallied and escaped se-
rious injury. The roof of Albert Luther
dwelling in the rear was burned and IL 9
wall adjoining. At 2 o'clock the bloc x
was razed to the ground.
The block was owned by Joseph Hay
ward and was valued at $1,000, partially
covered by insurance. The contents were
worth between 5000 and 5000. The dam
age to Albert Luther's dwelling will
amount to nearly $1,000 and $500 to house
hold effects by fire and water.
Patterson's Planning Mill.
At an early hour this morning the plain
ing mill of Robert Patterson, corner of
Scott and Flint streets, was discovered on
fire by Officer Little. The fire spread with
great rapidity and the structure seemed
to be doomed. Chief Steere ordered a
second alarm and the reinforcement of
fire fighters succeeded in practically saw
ing the building. 1t is owned by Ames
Hawkins and was damaged to the
extent Of $780, uninsured The machinery
and stock are insured in the sum of $500,
and the damage was comparatively light.
Patterson purchased the property about
three weeks ago. The fire is supposed to
be the work of incendiaries.
At Presbrey a. Myricks.
Shortly afterward an alarm was sounded
by Officer Ordway for a fire in the engine
room of Presbrey & Myrick's planning mill
on Summer street. The building connected
the boiler and drying rooms. The fire
spread to the drying room, where 1t was
The damage was light and the
loss is fully covered by insurance.
Box 237 was sounded by Harry w.
Spencer at $3.50 o'clock this morning for
slight blaze in the house at AZ Walker
street, owned by John G. Chase and occu.
pied by Nellie Wright. The fire was con-
fined to some bedding and $50 would fully
cover the loss.

A. NJ Goodwin, director OF she Ameri-
can Railway union. was the first to testify
yesterday He thought in a cooperative
commonwealth lay tho solution Of all the
troubles of labor. He meant by this, he
said, u government by the people only. He
claimed that the government as now con-
Quoted was one for the corporations only.
He was succeeded by Professor Bemis,

sity of Chicago. He did nS~ believe in
compulsory arbitration. He cited the
Massachusetts, law, which provides for a
state court Of three men, which shall arbi-
trate labor difficulties.
Professor Bemis stated that this board
had been very successful i'm settling labor
differences. The only times when the
board had failed were cases where the one
side or the other had refused to arbitrate.
In this event, the board had right to
maks an inquiry, publish the result broad
cast and lay the blame where IL belonged.
The board does not have the right, as Pro
fcssor Bemis thought IL should have, of
inquiring into the employers profits.
"As TO railroads, believe 10 is necessary
to keep them running, as they are public
institutions. AT the same time, it will be
necessary to give both sides fair play. 1
think the time Is coming when the expert
ment Of government ownership will be
tried"
Several men who took part in the re-
cent strike testified that they had been
black listed therefor, and had been re-
fused work by various corporations on that
account.
