THE CONTRACT labor law is utterly
defective, and is solely the effect OF
demagogism. One of its defects is the
facility and impunity with which it can
be broken, as it is almost every day in
the year. Then, too, it excludes skilled
labor in new industries, in which Amer
lean labor would be employed if it had
teachers. And besides, it is unjust and
unequal, for certainly American coach
men and hostlers deserve as much pro-
lection as American preachers or actors
or musicians. But as it has not been
repealed, it should be strictly observed.
Therefore Mr.. Morton's coachman
should have been sent back to England
and Mr.. Morton been compelled to pay
the legal fine for bringing him here, and
Secretary Carlisle should have enforced
the law, as he at first determined to do,
and not have funked, as he did, in con-
sequence of the adverse criticism Of re-
publican and anti-snapper newspapers.
If ex-senator Eustis was fined for bring
ing a foreign hostler here, why should
not ex-Vice President Morton be sub
ject to the same penalty for the same
ohense?

SEVEN STEAMERS AFIRE.

At half-past eight o'clock last night
fire was discovered in the hold Of the
cotton steamer Skidby, at the Central
compress wharf, Savannah. The Skid
by had about 10000 bales on board. AT
Sis it was discovered that there was
fire in the cotton in the hold OF the
steamer Baltimore City, at the Cotton
Press wharf, about mile away from
the scene of the fire on the Skidby.
Alongside of the Baltimore City lay
the steamer Castlegarth, and in few
minutes after the discovery that the
formers cotton was afre, fire was also
discovered in the forepeak of the
Castlegarth, in which compartment
there were about 100 bales of cotton.
The fire on the Baltimore City was but
small aud was soon put OUT. On the
Castlegarth, however, it was more OBJ
stinate, and was not extinguished until
all the cotton in the compartments was
more or less damaged. About an hour
after the discovery of the fire on the
Baltimore City fire was discovered on
the steamer Stag, loading at Gordon's
wharf. This fire proved to be the most
obstinate of the three. The Stag had
on 400 bales of cotton. About the same
time that the Stag was reported afre
at Gordon's fire broke out in the hold
of the steamer Delgarth, at the Central
Press wharf, near Skidby, where the
fire first occurred, and in few minutes
the steamer Petunia, also at the Gen.
trail Press wharf was reported with fire
in her cotton. The three ships afire at
this wharf were not over 800 yards
apart. The three other ships afre
were a mile away at the other
end of the city. The dre on the Petunia
was easily extinguished. The Del
garth's fire was extinguished when
about 800 bales had been damaged. All
of the fires were put out except those
on the Stag and Skidby. The loss as
far as can be estimated is about $50, 900.
Shortly after midnight fire was discov-
cred on the steamship Armenia at the
Central Railroad wharf, which was
giving the firemen much trouble. As
to the origin of the fires there is no sat-
isfactory explanation. There has re-
Gently been trouble about the long
shoremen in Savannah, but there is
none now.
A dispatch from Savannah to-day
says: The eighth fire broke out at two
o'clock this morning on the steamship
Whitefeld. The flames were quickly
subdued. Investigation shows traces
OF PHOSPHORUS everywhere on the
burning cotton ships. 1t is said that
some of the 'longshoremen recently on
strike spread the PHOSPHORUS. The
union men deny this Indignantly. The
matter will be thoroughly Investigated.
At six o'clock this morning the
steamship County Down caught fire.
The flames were put out. 1t is now
more probable than ever that the fire
is the work of striking stevedores.

CHANGE ALWAYS has been and a.
ways will be the order of the day, but
that it is more conspicuous in this, than
in any other country is patent to all OBJ
servers. All of this generation of Amer
leans were brought up in the belief, and
retained it until month ago, that New
York was the largest of their cities, so
much larger than any of the others that
mona compared with it in population.
But the recent registration proves that
that belief was entirely erroneous, and
that Chicago's population exceeds that
of New York by many thousands. And
yet people are now living who were
alive when the first house in Chicago
was built.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 6.-About day
light this morning the lifeless body Of
Matthew A. Bartlett, a well-kuown
young man, was found on the Sidewalk
by newsboy. The theory is general
ly advanced that Bartlett was murder
ed for knowing too much about the mys-
FERROUS death of Joseph Shade, ac-
countant at the Stilacoom asylum, last
month. It was alleged then that Shade
was poisoned, though subsequent in
vestigation seemingly refuted the claim.
Several nights OF last week Bartlett was
followed by two men and in explaining
the matter to friends he said that it was
because he knew too much about the
Shade case.

1t is becoming apparent that China
relied upon Great Britain to prevent

her. It is to the failure of this reliance
and the failure of British attempts tc
check the war after hostilities had be

The SOUTHERN RAILWAY Co.-Ihe
Southern Railway Company will, DUR
ing the present month, perhaps, deliver
to owners the new securities in ex-
change for the old, and in this connec-
ton it is interesting to note what the
counties along the line of the old Rich
mond and Danville road have gained
in the matter of taxable values by the
reorganization of this company. Under
the old charter, the Richmond and
Danville was exempt from all taxation.
Several years ago, the company SUR
rendered its exemption from State
taxes, but was still exempt from coun-
ty taxes until reorganized under its
new charter granted by the last Legis-
lature. But the new charter provides
that the road shall pay both State and
county taxes and the counties through
which the road passes will profit there
by. Under the last assessment the tax
able value of the road is fixed at SIS, 900
per mile. But this is not all. The
State of Virginia has received more
than $4,000, tax fee, on the big deed
which the company recorded.
