IN A PITTABLE CONDITION.
One of the Colorado Italians Is
Found BADLY Frozen.

WALSENBURG, Col, March H.
Pietro. Giabanco, one of the men sup
posed to have been killed at Bear
Creek last Tuesday night, has been
found. He was discovered last night
by some MeXicanS about ten miles
from the scene of the tragedy. His feet
were frozen, and he was in pitfable
condition from exposure, hunger and
fright. The sheriff was notified, and
TINS morning took him to Pueblo, where
pc was placed in jail. Antonio Bia-
betto, the other prisoner, has not yet
been found, and Pietro does not know
where he is. One of Pietro's feet
was frozen. and he was unable to
walk any longer Antonio left him.
Lorenzo Danino, Francisco Ronchet-
to and StaniSlauS Vittone were taken
from the undertaker's rooms today to
the Catholic church, where mass was
performed, after which their bodies
were Followed to the cemetery by
large number Of people. All Italians
from Rose and the neighboring coun-
try were present. Thus ends the
story in the tragedy of life so far as
these three. men are concerned. Con-
sui. Cuneo has sent official testimony
OF the affair to the officials of his gov
eminent at Washington. He is now
making an investigation Of his own.
The consul says he will stay here for
month, If necessary, to learn what
he wishes. He is making a thorough
and exhaustive examination of all the
incidents connected with the unfor-
tunate affair. He says his govern
ment is In no hurry, and that every
thing viii be done quietly and in or
der. 1t is also certain that he is now
making up a report of his own, and
that it will cover many things not in
the official report. Today his secre-
tary, Mr.. Alboe, arrived from Denver.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Expres-
sions Of satisfaction have been made
by the italian government at the steps
taken by the Colorado authorities for
the apprehension of the murderers of
the Italians at Walsenburg. The dip
lomatic incident occasioned thereby Is
| regarded as closed for the present.
That satisfaction exists is shown by
the telegram which was sent yester-
day by the assistant secretary of state
to Gov. Mcintyre, of Colorado. In this
telegram the secretary sets forth the
expression of appreciation manifested
on the part of Baron Fava, the Ital-
ian ambassador here, and of his gov
eminent, and Of the federal govern
ment at the earnest efforts made by the
executive of Colorado to arrest the
guilty parties. Today the assistant
secretary received a reply from Gov.
Mcintyre, in which that official said
that the district attorney told him
(the governor) that he would use every
means to secure the arrest and con-
v1ction of those who were guilty. The
governor said also that he had issued
proclamation offering a reward of
$1,000 (the limit under the statutes of
the state), for the apprehension and
conviction of the guilty parties.

England, in the largest establish
ment in the country, the manager
told him that the cellar Of the fac
tory was full of American machinery
they had bought, intending to~put
it into use, but that the workmen
were SO opposed to it that they gave
it up. An advantage the English
manufacturer had, however, was in
the immense variety of styles de-
in all, and the indisposition of the
American shops to meet the de-
mand for such a variety, as the
economy of production would be
lessened by it.
The economic paradox of high
wages with low labor cost of prod
uct and of low wages with high
labor cost of product was made
plain by these Investigations of Mr..
Schoenhof, who compared the week
ly earnings of the operators in these
various places. He found that. while
the men and women who produced
shoes in Lynn at cost to their en-
HlOySIS VI ID CeItS d pan Sdl
wages averaging S12 week for the
men, and 81 for the women, the men
and women in Leicester earned from
1854 to $3.50 a week in making,
shoes the labor in which cost their
employers "a cents a pair. In vi
emma, where the labor cost was the
highest, the earnings were the least,
averaging about $40 a week.
The question with any manufact-
urer is not what wages do pay per
day or week, but what does the
labor in the product cost me? From
the wage earner's point the question
is not, as it should be, what do / earn
for my employer, but what do L get
per day or week? The facts elected
by Mr.. Schoenhof show that, from
the manufacturer point, he has the
cheapest labor in the world, while
from the workers standpoint, the
latter is getting the highest wages
in the world. This is achieved, how
ever, at the expense of the labor dis
placed by the machinery that makes
possible the conditions presenting
this apparent contradiction.

THE ENGLISH SHOE STRIKE.

The English ShoemakerS, embrace
ing some 100000 operators, are out
on a strike because of a difference
with their employers relative to the
introduction of labor-saving ma
chinery. The employers say that
they cannot withstand American
competition without the use of the
latest machines, and the operators
refuse to use them. There is no
question of wages, save as this is
involved in the use of the proposed
machinery.
This is no new question. It has
been brewing for years. So long as
our tariffs prohibited our shoemak-
ers from competing with the En-
glish by the increase it made of the
material they used, the English man
ufacturers could stand the higher
labor cost of their goods, but now
that they find this new competitor
entering their fields they must either
surrender the ground or adopt his
methods. 1t is condition the AK
minister carpetmakers found them
selves in two years ago, and in
which the makers Of woolens are
also finding themselves now.
Eight years ago President CIeve-
land appointed Jacob Schoenhof
nominally as consul at Tunstal. but
actually as an Investigator of labor
cost in leather, textiles and other
lines in England and Europe. In one
of his reports he presented the re-
suit of his examination into the shoe
industries of various countries. and
it will serve now to cast light on
the present contest among the MAX
ers of shoes in England. He took
with him from Lynn two pairs Of
ladies' button CATERS, getting from
the manufacturers an exact state
ment of the acual labor cost Of
each process of their manufacture.
They were of the first and second
grades Of make.
The labor cost in each in Lynn,
from the receipt of the leather to the
packing Of the finished product in
boxes, was 50 cents pair. At
Leicester, England, he compared the
Lynn CATERS with similar ones made
there and ascertained the labor cost
to be GA cents per pair. In Berlin
the labor cost in the same kind of
CATERS was 81 cents; at Frankfort.
81 cents, and at Vienna, II cents. In

MINNE's BLUFF CRITICISED.
Just Where 1t BELONGS


Jordan Independent.
The legislature is spending consider
able valuable CD time discussing the
question of a proper location for the
state capitol, especially so are the
members sent down from MINNEAPOLIS.
Ihelr only wish and desire is the re-
nioVaI OF the state house to that city.
BUT when the voice of the people Of
the state is heard it resounds in one
loud and long chorus. Leave the cap
ltol IN st. Paul" That city has been
the capital ever, and its accessible To-
catlon-aH railways centering there
makes 1t the place desired by the peo-
pie, and properly and justly so. Min
neapolis can have its Hayward, its
BliXt, its Barretts. and a thousand and
one other equally undesirable things
which it has, but never the state
capitol.

MIR. o,BRIEN OBJECTS
TO Granting the Street Railway
the Privileges of Como.

the Privileges of Como.
Editor of the Globe.
For some time past it has been
rumored that the park commissioners
have been seriously thinking of allow
ing the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany to have the privileges Of Como
for the next season.
AS a taxpayer and a citizen of St.
Paul, it strikes me at this time that
no greater injustice could be done to
the city than to grant the privilege to
the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany.
To allow the Twin City Rapid Transit
company to take charge at this time
means that Minneapolis would derive
would see their business pass away,
powerless to help themselves.
The privileges of the Rapid Transit
company at this time are such as
would lead a well-thinking man to be-
lieve that it is only a question of a
very few years when 1t will have abso-
lutte control of all streets and parks,
and, in fact, the city government of
this city. think it is about time to
call a halt.
If property owners and tax payers
of this city are. to be pushed aside for
a foreign corporation, the quicker we
dispose of our property and get out
the better for us. Yours,

BEN'S ADMINISTRATION.
Doesn't Appear to Have Been Bet
ter Than Its Successor.

Doesn't Appear to Have Been Bet
ter Than It's Successor.
1t is too sorrowfully true that this
administration has had to borrow
money, and whether it was to pny
running expenses or to maintain the
gold reserve is imma terial. But it
is material to the people of the
country why it was compelled to
resort to the Rothschilds and submit
to their extortions, and the Evening
Post very succinctly states it as fol-
lows:
Now let us glance at the financial
conditions created by the Reed McKin-
ley congress. They passed a pension
bill which added nearly $40, 000, coo to the
public disbursements. They repealed
the sugar duties, which took nearly
$6O,C00,000 from the public receipts.
They passed the Sherman silver law,
which added $25, 600. 600 to the outgo Of
the treasury, besides bringing on a
financial crisis from which we are still
suffering. The crisis itself caused Il
large shrinkage in the public revenues,
as such events always do. Here was
difference of $3.50, O00, 900 in the national
balance sheet which the second Cleve-
land ADMINISTRATION was as helpless to
cope with as it would be to cope with
the axial revolution of the earth. By
adding to this sum the shrinkage of re-
ceipts due to the panic and the dimin-
ished consumption of dutiable gods we
obtain view of the conditions which
the present administration had to face
and for which it was in no wise respon-
sible. We can now see where the money
went. If Mr.. Harrison had been re-
elected in 1892, his second administra-
ton would have been obliged to Dor
row money as Mr.. Cleveland has Dor
rowed. In fact, Secretary Foster had
begun to prepare the public mind for
that eventuality before the election"

AT THE THEATERS.

If the curiosity of every man and
woman who witnessed Prof. Herr
mann's performance at the Metro
politan opera house last evening
were gratified, the magician'S occu-
patton, like unto that of one Othello,
would be gone, as far as those par
ticular men and women and numer-
Gus others are concerned. That is
why Prof. Hermann does not ex-
plain his tricks. In their mystery
lies their charm. To tear away the
veil that hides the miraculous sub
stitution of a large brunette for
petite blonde whom 1--WE saw so
quietly inurned" and sealed inside of
two trunks, would dispel a fascinat-
ing phenomenon, and ''The Asiatic
Trunk Mystery would no longer
mystify. For this reason the
GLOBE, out of consideration for the
magician's feelings, will not tell how
it was done. It is sufficient to say
that it was done, and quickly done"
In less than twelve seconds blonde
girl of most guileleSS appearance,
who was enveloped in a sack sealed
at the top, deposited in trunk,
locked and strapped, which trunk
was placed inside another trunk
similarly secured, got out of both
trunks and left in her place, sealed
in the same sack, a larger girl with
contrasting hair and eyes and diff
ferent feet. There were no trap
doors employed on this occasion, for
the trunks were on platform
some two or three feet clear of the
stage, and the lights We're never
dimmed during the exhibition of the
trick. 1t is certainly wonderfully
clever achievement, for which Prof.
Hermann is entitled to unStinted
praise.
Herrmann's programme is admir-
able, framed, as it is,e to afford vari-
ETY.. 1t combines the mysterious,
the ludicrous, the poetic and the
spectacular. The "Noah's Ark" il
fusion is as inexplicable as it is
amusing. A model of that ancient
craft is shown elevated at least five
feet above the stage After taking
it apart to show that it is entirely
empty, the pieces are put together
again, whereupon Hermann opens
one of the windows and brings forth
an assortment of cackling poultry
sufficient to stock a good-sized farm.
Turkey gobblers, geese, ducks, hens
and rampant roosters strut and wad-
die about the stage, larger than life
and twice as natural. Dogs and
rabbits are also plentiful.
1.-The Artists Dream" is a poetic
little spectacle, in which the artists
creation steps from the canvas and
executes dainty dance with her
creator, and then, at the bidding of
the devil, who exercised undue in
f1uence over the first woman, re-
treats to the picure frame and melts
or freezes back into the canvas, much
to the despair of the lovelorn artist.
Another feature of the entertain
ment was the spectacular dancing of
Madame Hermann. The calcium
and electric light effects in this
dance are novel and surprising.
AS for Herrmann's sleight of hand
advertisement, it is just as diverting
as ever. Every trick is gracefully
performed and neatly introduced.
The audience was large and decided
ly appreciative.

evidence Indicates That He Cut
His Wife,s Throat.

SAN FRANCISCO, March T7.-char-
Icy Rice, variety actor well-known on
the Pacific coast, was found on the
street near his lodging house early this
morning, blowing police whistle. He
SAID that his wife was dead up stairs.
Investigation revealed a horrible sight.
The woman's throat had been cut with
a razor from ear to ear, her head be-
ing all but severed from her body and
the bloody razor hidden under a pile of
clothes. Rice said that he left the
room for short time, and on return
ing found his wife dead Neighbors
heard the pair quarreling upon their
return from the concert hall, where
they are employed. AS rows between
them were of no uncommon occurrence,
no one thought of interfering. The
woman deserted her husband for Rice
several years ago. She was known on
the stage as Cora Everett.

If the farmers Of Fillmore county
were engaged in the foolish business
of raising 55-cent wheat, of course
land here would not sell for anything
like $50 per acre, but our farmers
learned the folly of raising wheat as a
crop years ago, and it cost them I'M
told wealth to learn the lesson. Today
they raise cattle, hogs, timothy, flax,
clover, barley, hay, tobacco, corn, buck
wheat, etc, and this explains why de-
sirable farms sell for $50 per acre. The
average Fillmore county farmer who
has given his affairs proper attention
is about the most Independent and
prosperous man to be found anywhere,
and not many of them care to sell
their lands even at $50 per acre.
