Big Garnet Mills Close Down.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.- The carpet
and plush mills of James Dobson, at Falls
of Schuylkill, have been closed indefin-
itely, throwing 1000 employees out of
work. Three weeks Ago number of plush
mill operatives struck for an increase in
wages of 10 per cent, but after being out
on strike few days they returned to
work. Shortly afterwards 200 tapestry
weavers struck and have been out since,
their absence enforcing the idleness of a
number of other employees. Last Monday
$50 dyers in the plush mills went out. In
consequence of this series of strikes the
mills became so crippled that it was de-
cided to shut down.

AMONG its other achievements in damag
ing merican interests, the Democratic
party includes the disastrous reduction of
our exports Of -four to Cuba. Under the
wise and patriotic reciprocity sections of
the Mckinley tariff, this country supplied
the Cubans with nearly all the flour
which they imported The Wilson
German tariff killed reciprocity, and our
exports of -four to our Cuban neighbors,
which were valued at SlS2,215 for the
month of February, 1894, diminished to
s1O5,OOO in February, 1895. If the Demo-
cratic Congress had deliberately attempted
to cripple American export trade, it could
have adopted no more effective measure
for that purpose than the tariff which
superseded the Mckinley act. On every
hand our exports have been falling off
most disastrously, while the imports of
foreign goods which displace the products
of American labor are enormously increas
ing. Democracy legislates for the
foreigner, while the Republican party
legislates for the United States. The
American people have learned by sharp
experience the vital difference in the
results of the two policies.

THE term tramp" is popularity made
to apply to vagrants who during the
winter season find shelter either in the
almsbouse or the county jail, but who as
soon as spring opens and the weather
permits sleeping in barns, under hay
stacks, etc, seek the rural districts. In
addition, however, to these many good
for nothings, there are numbers of others
who do not fancy the accommodations of
either the almshouse, or jail, and who
prefer to play the part of loafers and beg.
gsrs, depending for subsistence upon
what they can manage to secure from
can manage to pilfer Everything is fish
that comes into their net, and though at
times they are compelled to put up with
scant fare, they prefer some privation in
the matters of food and lodging to the
confinement of the almshouse or the
simple diet of the Jail. Now, there should
be adopted some means by which such
cankers upon our social system would be
compelled to do something in the way of
an honest return for whatever comforts
they enjoy, even though such comforts
are few and far between. All of them are
of idle habits, most of them vicious, and
as a whole they are pests of which the
authorities should make an effort to rid
the towns. Nearly all of them are able
bodied, and capable of doing work of
some kind. In number of Indiana
towns the tramps are put to work on the
streets, and with excellent results to the
streets and the tramps; keeping the first
clean and teaching the second that they
are capable of doing something that will
enable them to earn a subsistence. In ad
dition 10 that, ,iwhile thus employed, they
would be separated from their usual
vicious associations and prevented from
bestowing their modest patronage Oh
liquor and beer saloons.

IT 10 natural that Russia should not
wish to ee China surrender to Japan any
territory on the Eastern Asian Continent,
and it is likewise natural that France
should sympsthize with Russia in this
matter, In this emergency it is pleasant
to see that England is disposed to lend
support to Japan. This makes the situa-
tion in the East quite as interesting as it
has been at any time heretofore.
