NO EXCUSE FOR WAGE REDUCTION.
The Profit of Factory Owners Cam
not Be Increased BY That.

[American Wool Reporter.1
| A year ago when the proposition to
reduce the wages of cotton operatives
was receiving some consideration, it
was pointed out in these columns that
a cut down was not a remedy for the
ialleged over-production and the conse-
Iquent dinlinution of profit to the manu-
Ifacturer. Undoubtedly, reducing the
cost of production and thus cheapeniug
1.-THE cost of the product to the consum-
Ter, in a measure increases the demand
for the product, but to reduce the cost
lof production by cutting the wages of
Operatives, even SuppoSing this were
the only method of reducing cost, which
we by no means admit, will not stimu-
late demand for goods for which there
lis no call.
If there has been a production in ex-
cess of actual demand, to continue and
manufacture under such conditions is
Ito attempt to remove a glut by aug
menting it; and if overproduction and
under consumption are as some con-
tend synonymous terms, then the re-
duction of the means of the consumer,
which is of course what a reduction of
the wages signifies, must further lessen
the aggregate consuming power, and
postpone yet farther the

goods.
1t is not claimed, so far as is known,
that the proposed reduction is for the
purpose of enabling manufacturers to
meet demand at a yet lower price for
the goods; on the contrary, it is that he
may have margin at present prices.
Now there is fact of experience so
often observed in the past, that it
seems trfte to mention it, viz: That a
reduction of the wages of the opera
tives is followed by another cut in
prices of goods; it may be remarked
that a given price for cloth is as low
as 1t can be made, and get a dollar in
return for one expended, but the relent-
less reasoning of the buyer invariably
runs along this line: 1.-The cost of these
goods has been something less than
formerly; If l take them at all, it must
be at a correspondingly lower figure
than before" and if the manufacturer
meets temporary demand on such
conditions, his last state is no better

THE CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Lasker's Second Replies to the STRIFE
lures of Steinftz.
IN. Y. Commercial Advertiser

IN. Y. Commercial Advertiser.]
Mr.. w. NJ. de Wiser who Is acting
as second for Mr.. Lasker. the chess
player, has forwarded to Mr. steinitz
the following reply to the letter which
appeared in the Commercial Adyer-
tfser of August II:
My Dear Mr.. Steinitz-Your letter of
che 10th instant was duly received. and
In reply 1 beg to say that 1 have for
Warded "a full copy of the same to
Mr.. Lasker for his consideration of
your ultimatum.
Whether Mr.. Lasker will act as L
presume you think "a real chess
master" should. and consent to shorten
or abandon his trip in order to begin
play with you by the date you specify,
| cannot say, and it must remain with
him to decide whether or not he will
be content to pursue his journey with
only the 1-365th part of a champion S
record" as souvenir or his late en-
counter with you.
You will pardon me, I trust, if 1 do
not care to reply to your reflections
upon my judgment, which can have
but very little connection with the not
very agreeable task l have undertaken
to oblige Mr.. Lasker, but I must pro-
test most decidedly against your
charge of unfairness In my announcing
your probable intention of claiming the
championship, ETC., and l am sorry that
your eagerness to commence another
match has apparently dulled your
memory to the extent of calling forth
such a remark.
At the time you made your prob
able intention" known to me / re-
quested you to embody it in a letter to
me. This you declined to do, as you
said you thought it unnecessary, but
upon my stating to you that I should
nevertheless regard 1t as official, you
entered no objection whatever. and I
considered. and do still consider, that
had a perfect right to communicate it
to Mr.. Lasker and to refer to it in my
reply to you in the manner I did
Upon the above facts my recollee-
ton is quite clear. and 7 can only re-
peat that your charge of unfairness
seems to me entirely gratuitous and
uncalled for. Very truly yours.

Released and Renrrested.

Ukiah. Cal, Sept 12-The charge of
murder against J. D. Sherman, who
was arrested in June. 1898, for killing G.
w. Parker. a prominent resident of
this city, was today dismissed.
Immediately upon his discharge
Sherman was rearrested by Sheriff
Johnson on a requisition issued by the
governor of Kansas for crime COM
mitted in that state thirteen years ago.
The crime consisted in the murder of
Mayor Meyer, of Caldwell, Sumner
county. After the commission of this
and other offenses, Sherman came to
this state and remained in this county
several years. He had been employed
by various stock raisers at Vaquero.
After the commission of his last crime,
Sheriff Johnson secured a confession
from one of his intimate friends, which
established Sherman's identity.
Sheriff Woodcock, of Kansas, arrived
here today. The criminal was turned
over to the Kansas officer.

HE STOLE TEN THOUSAND.
One of the Most Daring Pieces o
Work in the Criminal Annals.

Hoopstown, ILL.,, Sept 12-The Campbell
bank, at Rossville, was robbed of $4,000
at neon today. The bank was closed for
dinner but few minutes, when Mr. Camp
bell returned and found the safe open
and money gone. Entrance had been eff
fected through a back window, the safe
robbed and escape made in d short time.
Up to tonight no clue as to the identity
of the robbers have been secured.
Rossville is an important grain-buying
point. The rainy weather of the past
week has made grain buying slow and the
money accumulated in the country banks.
At noon today, Banker Campbell locked
UP and went to dinner In the safe was
about $4,000 in currency. The safe door
was closed, but the combination was not
thrown. When Campbell returned. after
an absence of thirty minutes, he found
the safe door open and the currency
gone. An investigation showed that the
burglar entered back window of a gro
Gerry store in the rear of the bank and
with pair of nipperS turned the key in
the back door of the bank. Then open
ing the safe he took the money and left
the way he came. Tracks from the win
dow led to the railroad track. then into
a corn field. The engineer of the ele-
vator SAYS he saw man with a light
check suit run down the alley way with
n bundle in his right hand. Other men
also saw him, but up to a late hour to-
night no trace of him has been found.

Wholesale Slaughter of Sheep.

Parachute, Colo, Sept. 12.-Further
particulars have been received concern
ing the slaughter of sheep on the mesa
near here by cattlemen. There were
about twenty-five cattlemen, all wear
ing masks. They drove 1900 sheep be-
longing to c. B. Brown into a corral
and killed them with guns, knives and
clubs. J. +. Miller's herd, numbering
about 2,000 were driven over the cliffs
and all killed. J. D. Hurlburt's sheep
were not molested, but the butchers
posted notices that these would have
been served likewise but for lack of
time. When the sheepmen returned
not a cattleman was in sight.
The sheepherder who was shot will
recover.

THE KEY is FOUND.
Sequel TO the Mysterious Disappear
ance of Several Persons.


Bristol. Tenn. Sept 12.-Charles Rei-
ter and a boy named Morris. while in
Ispecting cave near Seven Mile Ford
five miles east of here. discovered two
skeletons forty feet below the surface.
The cave had long been known. but no
one had ever ventured to explore il
because of its great depth. The Norris
boy was let down by rope. When the
find was reported a party of citizens
went to the cave to investigate fur
Their. In all ten skeletons were taken
out and were aGjudged to be the bones
iof women and children. One skele-
ton was found in a sitting position
with skull reclining in the arms which
were folded across the knees. Thus far
there Is but one way to account for
the charnel house. Old citizens saw
that many years ago there was an inn
kept near this cave by man named
Allen and occasionally people who
stopped there had mysteriously disap-
peared and were never again heard
of. The supposition is that they were
killed and robbed of their vaIuables
and then consigned to the cave. Some
of the skeletons discovered are partial
~ buried under stones and many of
the bones were broken.

He also reports that C. B. Wood and

brought out so pounds of this rock to
