THE FULTON woRsTED MILLS

The New York Times hopes that
the recent sale of the Fulton, Os-
Wego, worsted mills to an English
syndicate will not escape the notice
and comment of Republican politi-
clans and journals. The mills en-
ploy 500 people in making the finest
grade of worstedS, and the account.
of the sale says that "the mills have
been very successful financially"
The Times further suggests that the
fact that members of the syn
dicate are engaged in worsted manu-
facture in Bradford, England; and
that the sale was made after a care
full inspection Of the property by
these members, is too important to
be overlooked. The wages of the en-
ployes were recently advanced.
If any Republican journal or poll
tician does note the sale, his COM
ment, if Of the Mckinley wing, un-
doubtedly will be that the sale itself,
as we'll as the wage increase, was
due to the anticipation" of a speedy
return to power of the Republicans
and the restoration Of the old rates.
If of the Reed wing, he will say that
it was due to the fact that the senate
act is so protective. But the point
the Times emphasizes is that, in
spite of the reduction of the tariff
on worsteds of from SO to Go per cent,
the utter ruin has not fallen on these
mills that protectionists averred
would come as a consequence of any
reduction. The conclusion to be
drawn is that if they are financially
successful under such a reduction,
if they weren't. ruined by it, they
can stand some more running of the
same kind in the interest of the
worsted-wearing public.
But there is a mistake somewhere.
Among the replies sent in to the
senate finance committee last year
from wooden manufacturers, in re-
Spouse to the circular sent out by Mr..
Voorhees,, we find one from this same
Fulton worsted mills. This must
have escaped the eye of the English
investors, and Of the experts they
sent out to investigate the profitable
ness OF the proposed investment. Had
they seen it, they would not have
made the purchase, but would have
continued making worsteds in Brad
ford. That of course. if they believed

IlCUCKoov IS A GooD NAME.

1t is eleven years ago now since
a large number of eminent and in
fuential men of the Republican
party refused to accept the nominee
of that party for the presidency and
went into open revolt. There was in
such an action as this a more bit
ter reflection on those that remained
than any satire or sarcasm of the
opposition, and it was resented with
greater heat than were the attacks
of the Democrats. Some scribe, rack
ing his memory for some unusually
vituperative word, ran across the
word "mugwump." It's sound seemed
to fit it for the occasion. It was
gruff and cacophonous. The word
took rapidly. Every stalwart or
gan in the country used it to express
the depth of it's deepest contempt
for the reca1citrant members. 1t was
not long, however, before it
was discovered that the word mug
wump was Algonquin for big man.
or chief or leader. Whereupon the
independents, as they called them
selves, gleefully took the term and
their opponents had the experience
of a verbal boomerang.
The lesson taught was entirely
lost. There is today the same eager
ness for some derisive term and
the same avidity to seize one when
found or invented. Last winter, dur
ing the debate on the repeal of the
Sherman act, one John T. Morgan,
who belied his Democracy by en-
bracing every paternal job, and who
styles himself an ambassador from
the state of Alabama" applied the
word Cuckoo" to those Democratic
senators who stood by the adminis-I
tration and supported it's proposed
measures. when the clock in the

ferred to those clocks above whose

the cuckoo comes and "cuckoos'' the

both the senator and what he would
term his cuckoos in the Republican
press are as infelicitous now as
were their predecessors eleven years
ago. This becomes clear when Won

AT TT AGAIN.

The irrepressible Mr.. Towne is at
it again. He succeeded in getting
only a brief and unsatisfactory rise
out of the Pioneer Press and the
Minneapolis Tribune. Their columns
afforded but Indifferent space for his
lucubrations. They dealt with him
with scant courtesy. Therefore he
has deffed the adage that a prophet
is without honor in his own country
and has hied him home to Duluth,
there to begin a campaign that is to
end in a general display Of fireworks.
He and some friends of his have
organized a brotherly band which
they call the Duluth Gold and Sill
yer Club" The fundamental prin-
ciple of this organization is said to
be the unlimited coinage by the
United States of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1, without waiting for any
other nation. The first duty of the
members will be to reconcile the
platform, which declares for undi-
luted silver monometallism, with the
name of the club, which contains
the farcical and hateful designation,
gold" 1t would be unkind and dis
courteous for us to interfere further
than as a veracious chronicler in the
history Of Republican sweet bells
tangled out of tune. But it is a
long time before next years conven-
ton meets, and Mr.. Towne's activity
seems to be proportioned to his
youth and the general bumptious-
ness of his deneanor. Republicans
in Minnesota will have something
else to do within the year than to
lament the differences of Democrats
on the financial question. Perhaps
they may even come to wish that
they had stayed Mr.. Towne with
reams Of white paper, and comfort
ed him with oceans of unlimited de-
bate at the ratio of 16 words for him
to 1 for everybody else.

LEWES, Del, July 25. The
schooner Clara Lane, which arrived
here last night and reported having
been fired on by a Spanish warship,
is still anchored off the breakwater,
awaiting orders for the disposal of
her cargo of sugar. Capt. F. w.
Quick, the commander of the
schooner, was seen today and asked
for additional particulars of the Incl
dent. Capt. Quick, who seems dis
posed to treat the matter lightly, said:
''The Lane cleared from Cienfuegos,
which is on the south side of Cuba,
on July IL. A fair wind carried her
to Cape San Antonio, the western ex-
tremity of the island, which point was
about being rounded at o'clock on
the morning Of the 18th, when a steam
er flying the Spanish flag, anchored
nearly mile away, fired a shot across
her bows. The Lane was then a, mile
and a half from the shore and of
course within Spanish waters. Our
vessel was at the time making a tack,
and as all hands were busy at that
work we did not stop because of the
first shot. The Spaniard thereupon
fired a second shot which passed about
twenty feet in front of our bow and
struck the water beyond We then
lost no time in heaving the vessel to.
A small boat had in the meantime
put off from the Spanish vessel. 1t
contained four marines and an officer.

ADJUSTMENTS.

me wilbur Opera company attempt
ed Martha last night, and to its
credit be it said the attempt was sur
for this success. sMartha' is the gem GEM
OF all romantic operas. It's music is the
embodiment of all that is sweet and
harmonious. 1t is essentially the music
OF love and sentiment. In no sense
grand, for the story is but d clever
conceit, it is nevertheless inspirational.
1t is so delightful that no vocalist with
voice enough to participate in the op-
era can restrain-if he or she would
the impulse to sing the music with all
the feeling and fervor that he or she
can command. The WiIburs so sang
it last night. Some members of the
company are not blessed with voices
capable OF revealing all the wealth of
Flotow's delicious composition, but
they manifested most commendable
desire to do so. What their voices
lacked in richness they largely atoned
for in earnestness and enthusiasm.
The conspicuous merit of the entire
performance was an evident desire to
interpret Flotow's Martha not to i'm
pose upon the public meaningless
medley of songs and dances. interrupt

man. Fortunately the funny man has

MILLER7S PRELIMINARY.
Internal Revenue Receipts De-
creased $4,000, Zoo.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue Miller has
submitted his preliminary annual re-
port for the fiscal year ending June 80.
The total receipts from all sources dur
ing the year were S145, ,245,977, a de-
crease for the fiscal year just ended of
S3,922,411, as compared with 1894. The
expenses of the bureau for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1895, will approx
mate $4,068, $50, and, deducting there
from the disbursements made in
connection with the ascertainment and
payment Of the bounty on sugar,
amounting to 0,391, the net cost OF
collection will be about 81, ,057, ,S61. The
exact amount expended for the collec-
ton of internal revenue cannot be as
certained exactly until all accounts OF
collectors for the fiscal year are re-
ceived and adjusted. Disbursements
on account of carrying into effect the
income tax aggregated SIS, ,7S9, and the
receipts from this source of revenue
We're $77,13O; the percentage of cost of
collection, as ascertained from the
above figures, for the fiscal year ended
June so, 1895, is 2.S4. Deducting the
sum of SO, 391, expended in sugar
bounty work, and which is not prop
erly chargeable to the expenses of col
lecting the revenue, the percentage of
cost Of collection would be reduced to
2.S3, and eliminating both expenditures
and collections on account of the in
come tax, the percentage of cost would
be further reduced to 2.T. The per-
centage of cost of collection for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1891, was 2.7O.
The report shows $S5,259, ,252 was re-
eeived from distilled spirits, against
1S,o62,627 for the last fiscal year; S2S,-
6l7,S9S from tobacco, against $29, 704, ,907
last year; s51, ,134, ,7SS from fermented
liquors, against $31,640,617 last year;
81, 479 from oleomargarine, against
81, 409,21f last year; miscellaneous
Opium, playing cards, etc), S153. .02S,
against S351, ,4S3 last year. There was
also received sT7,130 from the income
tax, which will be refunded, and s.. .26
from bank circulation.
The amounts collected from the prin-
cfpal districts are as follows: First

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The treas

ldent OF. the Humane society against
the admission into this country of
DullS and toreadorS from Mexico for
a. buli-hghung exhibition at the At
Ianta exposition The protest claimed
that the bulls should be excluded on
the ground that they were immoral
instruments, and the toreadors on the
ground that their admission would vio-
late the contract labor law Assistant
Secretary Hamlin in reply cites Sec
ton 10 of the act of Aug. 2S, 1894, prohib-
lt1ng the importation "of any obscene
book, pamphlet, drawing, painting, in
strumentS or other article of immoral
nature, etc. The letter then proceeds:
Il have to inform you that the depart
ment is unable to perceive that the
Importation of bulls for the purpose
Indicated comes within the letter or
spirit of the law quoted, and therefore
decline to issue the desired instruc-
tons. If, as stated, the exhibition of
bull fighters is prohibited by the laws
of Georgia, it is presumed that the au-
thorities of that state will prevent it,
but the subject does not appear to
come within the jurisdiction of the de-
partment.''
Commissioner of immigration Stump,
in his letter, recites that the resolution
passed by congress Jan. q, 1885, provid-

each applicant holding concessions and
privileges from said exposition, if such
persons come within the terms of the
joint resolution. 1t is well known that
bull fighting affords one of the chief
amusements in Spanish and Mexican
countries, and as it appears that the
authorities of the exposition have en-
tered into a contract with one J. P.

paid from rs to 125 per cent higher
than in competing mills in England.
We have fully double the capital in
vested of a competing mill on the
same class of goods in England.
Our capital ($1 $50, ,oOO} should earn
6 per cent, or $685. 900. A similar En-
glish mill ($50O, ,OOO at per cent equals
$4,000; difference, $4,000" Other
items of difference are stated and
summarized as 'Total difference
against us: Interest on capital, $685..
600; depreciation on machinery, $22,-
500; depreciation on buildings, $1,000:
total, $60,500. Our remedy to
correct present depression in busiu
ness Is to let the tariff alone" 5d
Now we submit that this is a most
discouraging statement, if true, to
present to purchaser, especially
from Bradford. 1t assures the latter
thatwages are double, capitalization
double, and annual depreciation
double what they are with him.
The $60,500 difference between the
Fulton mill and it's English equiva-
lent is per cent on the gross out
put of s1,019,00O of the former in
1898. Certainly any prudent English
man would say that conditions were
more favorable for him at home than
in Oswego. But we suspect that the
reply to Mr.. Voorhees, committee
was made a la Pickwick, and was not
intended to be taken seriously or as
the basis of any business computa-
ton. It was intended to be only "a
good enough Morgan" until after the
committee had been scared into re-
tanning a duty Of from 40 to so per
cent on worsteds. Then the smiling
countenance was resumed.

AN INTERESTING SERIES.

The letters heretofore published
by the G O from it's special cor
respondent, Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter,
have attrected much attention among
our readers, and have been received
and read with enjoyment. The in
terview which Mr.. Carpenter sue
ceeded in obtaining from Senator
John Sherman was easily the most
important political utterance Of the
season. 1t contained Mr.. Sher-
mans first absolute announcement
that he would not, under any cir
cumstances, be a candidate for the
presidency, together with his sum-
mary of probable political issues and
of the chances Of presidential can
didates in the next campaign. The
newspapers of the country which do
not receive Mr.. Carpenters letters
showed their appreciation of this
by publishing, the following morn
ing, a summary of it as a general
news dispatch.
Beginning with Sunday next, Mr..
Carpenter will furnish a series of
letters entitled Tales of Govern
ment Crime, or How Uncle Sam Is
Robbed" Persons of an acquisitfve
disposition have, in the past, ma
tured and carried out many schemes
for prof1ting at the governments ex-
pense. The series of letters which
is about to appear will give the de-
tails of these various crimes. The
material for them is now being col
lected by Mr.. Carpenter from the
departments at Washington. Free
access has been given to him to the
public records for this purpose, and
he has collected a mass of story and
adventure which is interesting in
the extreme.
The first of these letters, appear
ing on Sunday morning, deals with
the whisky robbers. It gives many
unique details of the method of
Illicit distilling, exhibits it's increase
in spite Of the activity of govern
ment officials, and shows how mil
lions of revenue are by this means
diverted from the public treasury.
We believe that these letters will be

MISSIONARIES MoBBED.
Brutal Treatment During the
Chang Tu Riots.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 25.-The
steamer Empress of India, from Hong
Kong, brings news of the attack made
ON the foreign missions in China a
few weeks ago. The Chung King cor
respondent of the North China Daily
News, tells the story as follows: "a
riot occurred at the premises of the
Canadian Methodist Smission, the hos
pital, dispenSary and chapel being loot
ed and burned. Although the mob was
kept at bay for an hour or two, and
although the yamen were near and the
soldiers barracks were about five min
utes' walk away, no attention was
paid to the requests for assistance.
After resting for the night, the mob
began again the next day, and when
the day was ended nothing remained
OF the eleven places of worship Of
Protestant and Roman Catholic mis-
slons- In every case the officials made
mere pretense of protection, or fatty
refused it. All took their cue from the
viceroy, who had been degraded. and
seemed to think nothing worse could
befal him. Mothers, with little
ones, climbed over back walls
and hid for hours in the
dirtiest holes. There were cases
only to be mobbed and compelled to
flee again. The members of the Amer
lean Methodist Episcopal mission
climbed over a wall TO q neighbor's,
and remained twelve hours in a dirty
little loft watching the destruction of
their property Some of the Canadian
Methodist missionaries, who sought
protection at the soldiers barracks,
were driven out. One of them, wo-
man, with her-little ones, was kicked
by the brutal soldiers. Much appre-
hension is felt for the missionaries of
the China inland missions, scattered
in several stations over Chang Tu
Plain, away from water and telegraph
communications. IF the foreign gov
ernments do not take stringent meas
ures, there may be a clean sweep of
the whole province. The people saw
that the emperor has ordered the vice.
roy to drive out all the foreigners, be-
ginning at Chang Tu."
