Carnegie ON Labor in America.

LONDON, Sept. L. Andrew Carnegie
has an article in the Contemporary Re-
view concerning labor in America. He
says that an American workman can live
for less in America, If he chooses, than in
Great Britain, provided that he lives as
frugally. Consequently, Mr.. Carnegie
thinks, the argument that wages must be
higher in America is fallacious. A pound
judiciously expended in America on the
necessaries of life would afford the work.

it, but could spend double.

of jurisdiction. His motion was denied
by the commissioner. The prosecution
arraigned the accused most savagely,
charging that Mrs. Kate Dwyer and Pres

ators in the case, but that Chief of Police
Armstrong and Governor Waite, in allow
ing themselves to be used in the carrying
out of the purposes of these two, were
equally guilty, whether they acted inno-
Gently or not. At the conclusion of the
arguments Commissioner Hinsdale rem
dered his decision, which acquitted Gov.

letter he knew nothing of how it came
into the possession of those who gave it to
him.

NEW YORK, Sept. About the troub le
in the William X. Vanderbilt family. Mr..
Vanderbilt's friends have refrained from
saying much so far, but they do not hest
tate to say that when the truth is known
he will be amply vindicated. So far as
can be learned from statements made to
persons in the confidence Of the Wander
bilt family their sympathies are all with
the husband.
But another feature has been added in
the appearance at the Basino of hand
some woman who said she was Nettie
Neustadter, the alleged charmer Of WILL
lam h at Paris, and that she never saw
him i'll her life and that if the publica-
tions interfere with her theatrical aspira
tions somebody will suffer. Mrs.
Neustadter is the California woman who
has been exploited by San Francisco
paper rs the Partisan charmer.
The fact is that the names are different.
Nellie Newsletter is the Partisan woman.
She was never in the United States, while
Nettie Neustadter is a native of Nevada
whose maiden name was Cohen. She was
married to New-tadter, n San Francisco
man, but they did not get along.

One Of the most encouraging
signs of prosperity is the increase
in the foreign importations. The
first ten days of February show a
gain of more than 10 per cent over
the receipts for the same time la t
year. That means that people are
getting easieE-whcn they go to
buying more. they have more
money 70 buy with, and their will
ingness To turn it loose proves
that they will not fear a continu~
ance of such hard times. Increas-
ing imports under existing circum.
stancer are doubly significant, for
the tendency is to delay such action
until the passage of the Wilson
tariff bill and get the advantage of
lower import duties. When the
Mckinley bill was pending i'm
portcrs made tremendous pur-
chases abroad and rushed the
goods to New York TO get them in
before that law increased the duties
they had to pay. The reason that
led, to the extraordinary increase
Of impOrtations then would lead to
q striking q decrease now, for they
find their advantage to be in
waiting for lower tariff duties.
When under such circumstances
we find no decrease, but an abso-
late increase iE the importing
business, we can positively count
on immediate and emphatic "bet-
ter times"
