As THE employees of the wheel
works in Richmond who struck last
week against reduction of wages have
families depending upon them for sup
port, and as a long winter is rapidly
approaching, TO keep from freezing
and starving, they had to so back to
work at the reduced rates. 1t is need
less to say they are not as enamored of
Mr.. Ingalls, now as they were before

THE democrats of Kentucky last
night determined that the boilers there
should not be allowed to vote at the
coming democratic primaries. They
are right, for those so excluded having
bolted once, would be very likely to do
so again if the result of the primaries
should not exactly suit their fancy, and,
by uniting with the republicans and
negroes, as they did at the late election,
defeat the nominees of those primaries.

Mr.. CHAMBERS, a Northern man and
an ex-federal soldier, who settled in

party until it shall return to "the path
of honor and the ways of honesty. F"
Well, as the democrats of Northumber-
land did pretty well before they pre-
ferred Mr.. Chambers to one of their
own people. it is not improbable that
they can now manage to get along with
out his assistance.

person who threw the bomb into the
crowd before the church Of Santa Maria

Christi procession, has not yet been ap-
pretended. The police are busy in the

of a widespread anarchistic plot. The

have arrested 20 men known to enter
tain anarchistic sympathies. Iii con-
nection with these arrests they have
seized number Of documents which
furnish some clue to the plot Of which
Sundays bomb throwing was mani

the purpose Of precipitating a number

running at last. says the Lumber
man, and the saving season at that
point may again be said to be in full
swing, although beginning nearly
two months later than usual. The
the output OF the local
mills Is already large, and unless the
mills are forced to saw nights where
it has been planned for them to run
days only, to take care Of the logs,
the curtailment will be still more be-
fore the close OF the season. The
saving season at Minneapolis was
155 days long last year and If the
mills run until October Is, this year,
it Will be ia days long. Should they
run this year until the middle OF
November. which is as late as opera
lions were ever continued here, the
saving season will be about lao
days long.
