The Fall River weavers are to be
congratulated on their eminently sem
sible and conservative decision not to
carry out the strike over which they
have been celebrating for a short
time. To be told that strikes, stop
pages, ETC., had cost the workers of
the little city about five millions with
in the past two years was an argu-
ment which went home. 1t was rep
resented also, by those who had stud
led the conditions, that now, on the
verge of winter, when the busin ess
situation was just beginning to hold
out promise of better times, is a most
inopportune time for beginning a new
war. There can be no doubt that if
there should be continued increase in
prosperity, this conservative actio n
at this time will carry great weight
with the mill owners, when they shall
begin to feel that a long season of
good business has fairly begun.

THE COTTON STA TES EXHIBIT.

No citizen of the United States who
is interested in the material progress
of the country, and Of the New South
more particularly, should not fail to
visit the Cotton States and lnterna-
tional exposition at Atlanta, which is
to continue until the first of January
next
Many months have been devoted to
preparation for this great exhibit
and the arrangements have been
under the direction of the most en-
terprising and progressive men of the
Southern states, with all the resources
of that great section placed at their
command. All the states of the Union
generously responded to the call of
the managers of the exposition, and
and many of them are represented
even more satisfactorily than they
were at the Worlds fair at Chicago.
Foreign countries are also taking a
deep interest and have done their
part to insure for the exhibit that
complete success which is already APP
parent.
The result is that another gigantic
exposition offers to Americans the
means of instruction in their own
and the worlds marvellous progress
which should be generally improved.
The enterprise and ambition Of the
New South, so splendidly displayed
at the capital of it's Empire State"
should be rewarded by the generous
patronage of the American people.

. EXTRAORDINARY GRAND JURY.
Called to Investigate the SCharges Made
Before the Lexow Committee.

New York, January IAN extraordi-
nary grandsjury was empannelled this
morning in the Court of Oyer and Term
liner.
Judge Ingraham said that for many
months past serious charges have been
made against public officials in this city.
"The charges" said he, @were made be-
fore the legislative committee, and they
must be Investigated. These charges in
volved sometimes, all the officers of the
city government. and applied to all
officers from the highest to the lowest.
In some instances actual corruption. in
others general charges of incompetency,
are reiterated SO often that the name OF
the holder of public office has almost
become synonymous with person false
to his duties or incompetent in the dis
charge of them. There has come before
tine legislative committee evidence tend
ing to show that in the police force GER
tain mem bers have esta blished a sys stem
by which the laws are enforced against
those unable to pay or unwilling to pay,
and so crime has been permitted to exist
through the payment of money. real
ize that most of the witnesses are OF such
character that they will require to be
carefully corrOuoAHtcu. "A ldIeo uaJoii-
ty Of the citizens of New York believe
in the existence of corruption. 1t Is to
be hoped you will carefully examine ev-
cry bit of evidence against the accused,
and where you find that the evidence
warrants it see they do not go unpun-
ished."
William Travers jerome, Mr.. Goff's as
sociate in the Lexow investigation, will
have charge Of the police cases, and it
is expected before the grand jury finish
es it's work at least one inspector and
many captains, sergeants and patrolmen
will be awaiting trial. The jury will also
take up offences against the election
laws, committed last November. In
this list is said to be the case of Police
Commissioner Sheehan, accused of in
terfering with the election in the tenth
district, in which he is the Tammany
leader.

Washington, January 7.-Mr. Luke A.
Spear will probably be appointed shipping
commissioner at Rockland, Maine, tomor-
row. There are three other candidates.
Messrs. L. L. ". Benner, Daniel W. Titus
and VIM. M. Monroe. but it is understood
that Mr.. Spear has been selected.
He has the support of the state organ1Za-
tion. and his will prove to be popular ap-
pointment. Action in this case has been
hurried by the call today at the Depart
ment of Mr.. Mervin A. P. Rice of Rock
land, who was the Democratic candidate
for Mayor for the city two years ago, and
who is one of the leaders of the young
mems democracy of Maine. He appealed
for early action in this case in behalf OF
the party which is going to make a strong
fight to elect Democratic mayor next
March. and he received the promise that ii
should receive early consideration. Capt.
". j. Hurley. one of the candidates for the
collectorship at Waldoboro, Maine, who has
been in the city for the last few days left
for home this afternoon, feeling confident
of receiving the appointment. He was un-
able to see either the President or Secretary
Carlisle. Mr.. Hurley's confidence is not
shared by many in this city the general be-
lief being that Mr.. j. Moore will receive
this appointment.
No action has yet been taken in either the
Portland or Eastport collectorship cases, al
though it is expected that these matters will
be settled before many days. The collector
ship at Bangor becomes due on January3lst
when the term of the present incumbent
expires, but it is not believed that any
action will be taken in this case until the
Others which have been pending for SO long
have been settled. Four candidates for the
Bangor Office have papers on file. They are
Messrs. Thomas White. A. L. Simpson, Ed.
ward Norris and George Fl. Greeley. There
is little doubt that the venerable General
Roberts, who has held the Office twice be-
fore will also be candidate, although he
has no papers on file. Of all of these Mr.
White has the strongest endorsements. and
it is believed that he will be the successful
applicant. AS soon as the Portland col.
lectorship case shall have been disposed o1
it is understood that an effort will be made
by the Democratic organization of that city
to secure the removal Of Mr.. John Small
the present Republican postmaster. Mr.
Small it will be remembered was appointed
by President Harrison in the place OF
another Republican. who was removed tron
the office under charges, after having
served two years of his term. Mr.. Small
has therefore served only about two years
The Democrats, however, believe that since
the post Office has been nnder Repu 5licaI
control for four years under the two officers
1t is time that Democrat should bs
placed in charge.

TO MEET THE vALKYRiE.
Several New York Yachts Will be Built
The vigilant May Compe te Again.

y New York, January 7.-As the matter now
stands Lord Dunraven has a right to ask
that the first race be set for eight months
from today or September 7. AS that date
comes on Saturday. he will probably suggest
September 18th or 18th for the first race.
There is greater general interest in the pro-
posed race than preceded the former con-
tests and there will be at least one new cup
defender built. George Gould is expected
to bring over the vigilant, which is winter
ing in England. and he may enter one of
the syndicates talked of. In Philadelphia
there is talk of forming syndicate and
building keel boat to compete for the
honor of meeting the valkyrie. At least one
New York syndicate will be formed, and
Vice Commodor Morgan of the New York
Yacht club, will be at the head of it. This
syndicate will go to Herreshoffs for boat.
The builders of the Vigilant will be asked
to furnish yacht that will outsail her.
The races will be like those Of 1893. outside
of Sandy Hook.

REPUBLICANS WILL NOT AGREE
To Any Changes in the Tariff Laws
The Republican Steering Committee Met
Yesterday.

Washington. January THE Senate Re-
publican committee met this morning. all
the members being present but Senators
Washburn. Cullom and Dolph. A full dis
cussion was not had owing to the absence of
the Senators named. Sufficient is evolved
from the informal talk to show that the
Republicans were unable to agree upon a
plan that would enable the Democrats to
make any changes in the existing tariff
laws, No further attempt will be made to
get the steering committee together. The
failure of the committee to agree is equiva-
lent as one of it's members said, to notif-
cation to the Democrats that they might as
we'll abandon all hope.
The Stockholders Demurrers Overruled.
Washington. January 7.-The Court of
Appeals of the District of Colum bia to-
day rendered an opinion sustaining the
decision of Judge Cole in the case of
.Messrs Chapman and Mccartney, stock
brokers, who refused to testify before
the Senate sugar investigating commit
tee regarding the individual speculations

ion overruled the demurrer filed by the
