Not only are old established industries
picking up their business again so as to
be able and willing to increase the
wages Of their employees, but new CON
Germs which give additional labor to
working people are being established in
considerable numbers. In this connec.
ton the Wool and Cotton Reporter made
the following statement last week:
1t will be noted that the number of new
WOODEN mills has increased from seventeen
last year To thirty-eight this year, an in
crease of over loo per cent, while the mum
Der of cotton mills has increased from
| forty-three last year to seyenty-three this
year. The number of knitting mills has
increased over last year nearly 100 per
cent.
1t will also be seen that the list of en-
largements and Improvements is an inn
posing one.
Evidently the Democrats knew what
they were talking about when they said
that tariff reform would help wage
earners. The promise to alter the tariff
in the interest of the masses was kent
sufficiently well to prove that tariff re-
form is in the interest of tile great body
of the American people. The restoration
of good times proves that much.

We notice that one of our local con-
Temperatures has begun to expatiate on
what the Republican members may,
can or must, might, could, would or
should do Congress when 1t meets
next December. The whole programme
has been arranged, and II is as pretty as
thesunny side Of peach nesting amidst
green leaves. But we remember that
the same ever.hopeful contemporary
had its plans all laid last December for
the action Of Republican members In
the Delaware Legislature, which was
then about 10 assemble, 1t was then as
positive Of what Assembly nen should
do when they got together as 1t now is
OF what Congressman should do. Its
plan for the Legislature was First, that
1t should re.clect Mr.. Higgins to the
United States Senate; second, that 1t
should pass reform legislation; and third
that II should transact the public bust
ness inside OF sixty days and then go
home while peace and harmony pre-
vailed. But this pretty programme was
not rendered according to the advertise
ment Indeed in no single particular
was 1t fulfilled. Mr.. Higgins was
not reelected; reform legislation
was not passed.; the Legislature remained
in session .29 days; and the members
parted, splitting at one another like cats
after cat.fight. We fear that our con-
temporary is now as far off in its Con-
gressional programme as II proved to be
in regard TO the Legislature. 1t seems
more than likely that the Republicans
in Congress will make as bad record
as they have already made in the several
State Legislatures. They have such a
fine chance to quarrel over the money
question! The choice of their Presiden.
tial nominee will be fruitful source
for political scheming. Some Of them
may disgust the country by digging up
the grave in which protection of the
Mckinley kind is well buried. 1t is
pleasant enough for hopeful editors to
draw their pretty picture of the coming
Congress; but Congress itself may be
trusted to spoil all of the beauty in 1t.

No. 10 Of the Reform Clubs "Sound
Currency" series is "a Stable Monetary
Standard" By Henry Farquhar. 1t not
only includes most careful inquiry
into the essentials of a stable standard
and the balance of advantage and dis
advantage of varying standards, but
brings to bear upon the Immediate sub.
iect wealth of reliable statistics. From
these, and from the admirable chart
which accompanies them, it Is apparent
that the so.chlled appreciation of gold,"
when measured either in wages or in q
composite Of wages and prices, yanshes
into thin air; and that the actual result
of the conditions of the last twenty
years has been a marked appreciation
of wages in this and other gold standard
countries. The factors which are of
the most Importance towards making
any metal or commodity acceptable as
standard are noted and analysed, and
the fact that an ideal standard has not
been found frankly admitted. The
searching comparison, however, here
made shows how much more nearly
gold approaches the ideal than does any
other material, and demonstrates that
the claim of silver as standard can be
upheld, in the light of the statistics,
only by proving the total unftness of
human labor as a measure of value.
The irresistible conclusion is not only
that the gold standard is inevitable, but
that it is one on the side of which the
interests Of the laborlng man must lie.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THE STOWAWAY.

One Of the many strong features OF
that tremendously powerful melodrama,
"The Stowaway," which will be seen at
the Opera House Wednesday evening, is
it's clever delineations Of character.
Everybody has read about its real bur-
glars, its thrilling safe-blowing scene,
and its abundance Of beautiful scenery;
but it has something better to recon-
ment it. and that is the delightful sug"
gestion of Dickens which marks it from
beginning to end, and which has done
so much to make it popular with the
more intelligent class Of play-goers.

IN A BAD BUSINESS.

Cleveland, O., October 13.-Joseph
Dreyer was brought here tonight by a
Deputy United States Marshal from
Stark county, and charged with coun-
terfeiting. Dreyer tried to pass a dol
lar bill which had been fixed with plas-
tiers to represent ten. In his posses
sion was found a two-dollar bill raised
to a twenty in the same way. He also
had pastors for fifty-dollar bills. He
told the officers that he bought the plas-
ters from a Pittsburg man, who sup
piled them by mail. This is the sec
ond arrest for a similar offense in that
vicinity within a short time, and it is
believed counterfeiters are systematic

The Administrations. Opportunity.

In no other way could the present adj
ministration make itself more popular with
the people of this country than by the pros
ecution of vigorous foreign policy such ss
that which has been commenced in the
sending of Secretary Olney's note to Am
bassador Bayard in regard to the Venezue-
Ian boundary question. The Secretary will
err II he permits Great Britain to postpone
the settlement of this case on the plea that
1t is too busily concerned in the solution Of
ent far more interesting to the queens
ministers than the contention of the United
States. Lord Salisbury's reply to the Sec
retary's note Of inquiry on this subject Is
long overdue, and 1t will be mistake If
the British government is permitted to ne
glect this important question and to obtain
the advantage in Venezuela that delay
would grant. The popularity of policy CT
rugged Americanism was shown by the re-
ception which the American people gave to
Secretary Webster's famous reply to the
Hulseman letter relative to the interven-
ton of this country in behalf of the Hun
garian patriots. Almost without exception
the people Of the United States applauded
the great secretary for his enunciation of
American doctrines. and the opportunity
for such demonstration of patriotism is
present today in the Cuban problem that
now confronts the administration and in
the Venezuelan case.

day! This Of itself constitutes an enormous
danger to the public. There is evidence.
too. that the consolidation took from the
people their last chance for q redress Of
grievances except through the state legis-
ature, a process that smacks of the tabled
plan of locking the stable door after the
horse has been stolen. The first principle
of the trolley enterprise is occupation. That
accomplished, the public can protest and
howl and object as long as it likes. but
until the dissatisfaction takes the form of
political revolution, the trust continues
in peace and profit to reap the tremendous
harvest of an uncontested privilege. The
only safe way is to prevent the construc
ton Of useless lines in the first place, to
require the installation on those that are
admitted of the best devices for propulsion
and finally to keep the trunk lines supply
ing the city from being combined under
single management. These lessons have
been learned by the people of Philadelphia
too late. They were fortunately taught to
those Of Washington in season.

The Passing of Slow Coaches.

1t is gratifying to note that the managers
OF the lexington and Belt street railway
lines are taking practical steps toward full
filling the promises to substitute mechan-
1cal motors for horses. This is a sign of
cheerful If somewhat tardy acceptance of
the inevitable fate of both the horse-car
and the overhead trolley, and it gives evil
dence of a speedy Punishment of the last
slow car from the main lines of the city.
The proposed compressed air motor, it
seems, has not yet had any extended prac-
tical test by continued use on an operating
railway in any large American city, so 1t
may be that once again Washington will
be the scene of an experimental instalIa-
ton so far as the United States is con-
cerned that will be watched with close in
terest by street-car engineers and owners
in all parts Of this country. The practical
demonstration here of the feasibility of the
underground electric system has convinced
the managers of the great Metropolitan
Traction Company in New York that the
sub-trolley, as 1t has come to be called, Is
an ultimately economical method of street.
car propulsion, and they are now planning
to introduce it on several Of their lines, in
Guiding that on Broadway, which is now
operated by cable.

number Of points about street railway con-

The Cars Plan.

Suggestions are thrown out in high Euro
pean official circles that the Gar does not
contemplate with serenity the proposition
to dismember Turkey. A letter Is in private
circulation stating that the Car believes
that in the event of Englands persistence
in such a plan an alliance will have to be
formed of the three powers that interviewed
in the Japanese question, Russia, France
and Germany. This extraordinary triple
alliance. If formed, would be the most pow
erful combination that could possibly be
devised and would unquestionably rule in
tho settlement of all questions pertaining
to continental affairs. 1t would be a
strange spectacle indeed France and Ger
many united for common purpose would
be like a mingling of oil and water, yet it
IS evident from the hints given that the
Car hopes to accomplish the organization
of this paradoxical syndicate. This letter.
II genuine, serves to give color to the be-
lief that the Gar is intimately concerned in
the present disturbances and this impress
sion Is deepened by an interview printed in
New York paper yesterday with Oscar
Stratus, the ex-minister to Turkey, who as
serts that the entire trouble is traceable
to Russian intrigue and to suggestions
from st. Petersburg to the Sultan.
