Italy has the friendly encourage
ment of England in the war against
Absynnia, and if the report is true
that England intends to cede to Italy
the port of Sela, on the Gulf of Alden,
the Italian troops will be able to go
forward with the invasion from the
south as well as from the north. If a
passion grows with what it feeds on,
the nations of Europe will look else
where for fresh territory after they
complete the division of Africa.

New York is trying an experiment
with Karri wood from Australia for
paving streets. The blocks Of this
wood are exceedingly hard, and are
said to be practically impervious to
moisture. If wood of this kind is laid
on a concrete foundation the result
ought to he very close to the ideal
pavement. But Australia is a long
way off and the matter of cost may
initiate against a general introduction
Of Karri pavement.

A woRKINGMAN's TALK.

A master stone mason and contractor of
this city who recently returned from
visit of several months in Germany says
business of all kinds is unusually good
there. The factories are running full
handed there is a great deal of building
going on, and everybody, especially work.
ing people, seems to have money to spend.
A German-American mechanic, skilled
artisan, commenting on this state of things,
said: Yes, workingmen in Germany have
got plenty to do, while in this country we
are idle" This man commands steady
work and high wages in good times. Six
weeks ago the establishment in which he
was employed closed on account of the sill
yer agitation and the uncertainty of the
future, and he has not earned cent since.
When asked what he thought about the
money question he said: well, I'll tell
you. / have been out of a job six weeks
and have been supporting my family on
what little we had laid up. There are
plenty of others like me, and we can't
stand it. 1 tell you we can't stand it, We
must have work Wen starve. Now,
there is nothing in free silver for working
men and no hope of work in the election
of Bryan. 1 don't profess to know much
about the money question, but want work,
and the best chance 1 see for it, in fact
the only chance, is the election of McKin-
ley. 1 believe that will bring confidence
and better times-not right away, perhaps
but I believe things would begin to ease
up Immediately and it wouldn't be long till
workingmen would have work and wages
again. don't see why we should be ont
of work in this country when they have
thing wrong, and don't believe Bryan and
free silver would help matters little bit.
1 have been Democrat ever since I came
to America, but have made up my mind
to vote for Mckinley" The man who
talked thus was a bona fide workingman,
and he was not cOerced either.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1896-10-11

The sudden increase of the registration of
the colored vote in North Carolina has
frightened the Democratic managers, who
are trying to arrange a fusion with the
Populists. The Populists, with only 10000
votes out of possible 100000. have brought
the Democratic mana gers to their knees
The Populists will not fuse unless the Dem
ocrats displace their candidate. for Cover
nor and give them majority of the candi-
dates for Congress. If this should be done
a general revolt among the Democrats Is
threatened. Already the Democrats have
fused with the Populists on an electoral
ticket. A New York World correspondent
has seen reliable figures which show that
one-third of the Democrats who have regis
tered will scratch the five Populist candi-
dates for electors. This would give them
to Mckinley.
