An Industrial Revolution.

From the Detroit Free Press: Hen
ry ]. Eickhoff, deputy factory inspec-
tor. in conversation with a representa-
tive of The Free Press yesterday made
a most remarkable statement. Said he:
"The big factories have had their day.
They are going to pieces, and in their
places are arising numerous small fac
tories and shops, which employ from
one to twenty hands-seldom more
than twenty. Since taking office last
spring Mr.. Rhinehard and l have in
spected 1904 factories and have issued
$40 orders for better protection around
dangerous machinery. By comparing
figures with last year l find there has
been an increase of nearly 1000 en-
ployes in the factories of Detroit. Yes,
that means there are 1000 more per-
sons at work in Detroit today in the
industries that come under our oD-
servation than there were one year ago.
And yet some of the big factories are
running short time and some have shut
down altogether. Two factories re-
Gently failed and went into the hands
of receivers-the brass works and the
American Eagle Tobacco factory. Yet
the small factories are running full
time and many of them are working
over time. OF course l have been study
ing the cause of this singular state OF
things. | find that, as rule, big fac
tories have a big list of high-salar-
led ofTicers-manager, superintendent,
travelling men, bookkeepers, ETC. Every
stakeholder always has some friend or
relative that he wants placed, ana
places are made against good business
Judgment. The result is a lot of use
less. high-paid hangers-on, which In
time load the concern down like bar
pacles on a ship. The great obstacle to
small factories was power, but the IN
vention of the gasoline engine has re-
| moved this, and the small manufacture
err now gets his power as cheaply as
the biggest institution. One of these
engines can be started in the morn
ing. and no more attention is needed
until closing time at night-no engln'
eer or foreman is needed. In one bloch
in this city there are fifteen different
factories or shops, and all running full
time. In transacting business they
protect themselves from loss when re
uuired to give a customer time by dis
counting the customers note at bank
BY this system the bank assumes al
risk and bad debts are avoided"

The Hazleton Outrage.

After an hours deliberation over tn
evidence presented in the case of the
shooting of the Hazleton coal miners
by Sheriff Martin and his deputies, the
coroners jury rendered verdict to the
effect that the killing was wanton and
might have been avoided without any
danger of assault or riot. The verdict
rendered is as follows:
"That from the circumstances OF the
case and the evidence offered the SAID
Clement Platock and others came tc
their deaths by gun-shot wounds on
Sept. 10, 1897, at the hands OF Sherln
James Martin and his deputies, and IN
this we the jury, do agree; and we

ton Freas and Peter McKiernan, OF this
Jury. do further say that the sale
Clement Platock, with others, was
marching peaceably and unarmed OF
the public highway; that they were III
tercepted by said Sheriff Martin arc
his deputies and mercilessly shot tt
death: and we do further find that thu
killing was unnecessary and coult
have been avoided without serious in
Jury to either person or property, an'
we find, finally, that the killing wa
wanton and unjustifiable, but in thl
we, George Maue and F. j. MacNeal, o
this jury, do not concur; and we, tn
jury, further say that there was suci
a strong suspicion of unlawful violence
at the hands of person or persons un
known to this jury as to make this in
quest necessary"
AS will be seen, four of the six jury
men agree that the shooting was un
| necessary, wanton and unjustifable
All that is left to be done now is t
take all necessary precautions to sc
cure a fair trial, when the hope will
be strong that Martin and his men ma,
be brought to justice.-Eight Hou

ing strains of military music. These
miners. too, met on their marshes the
very men who were at work In the pits
to break the strike, but through 1t all
there never was a deed of violence;
never threat, never an opprobrious
epithet that arose from the ranks OF
the strikers.
1.-THE only blood that was shed ran
from the wounds of a deputy sheriff
when a brother guardian of the peace
shot him down in quarrel with re-
volver. In the soft coal strike proper
there was no rioting, no bloodshed, no
death. The miners have made clean
record. They have shown the country
how to strike. On the verge OF star
walton, when they were called to the
conflict, with no resources but public
charity, conscious all the time OF how
their employers had robbed them; how
the courts had hampered them and
their enemies insulted them. they con-
formed all their actions within the
limits Of good order, and they won ono
of the greatest victories on record"

At a recent meeting of the Social
Reform Club of New York a commit
tee reported on the hardships to poor
people which are liable to attend the
purchase of merchandise on the install
ment plan. The committee found that
II is a common practice among the
poorer residents of that city to buy
articles, such as furniture, watches
and jewelry. upon the installment plan,
and that the system frequently makes
them suffer from their own Ignorance
and want of foresight. In the fourth
district court alone during the year
1896 a single firm secured an average
of thirty-four judgments per month IN
such cases, and another on an average
of twenty per month. The agent OF a
house in Allen street claimed that they
took in $500 a week on installment ac-
counts.
The contract of sale in such cases
| contains a clause which makes the oD-
iect sold continue to be the property
of the seller until the last installment
is paid, and in this way the purchaser
! becomes liable for arrest, and imprls-
onment for conversion If he fails 10 pay
and declines or is unable to return the
article. AS the amount of the sale is
frequently less than S., and the pur'
chaser usually altogether Ignorant OF
the law and of the wording of the con-
tract this right Of execution against mis-
body is a great injustice and AFFORDS
an opportunity for gross oppression.
The committee reported in favor OF
urging the adoption of a law which
would regulate the matters referred to
among the provisions of which shoulc
be the adjustment of Imprisonment II
cases of sales on the installment plar
for an amount not exceeding $50, and
in cases of furniture or clothing to an!
amount.

he Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
navs the following tribute to the min
ers: with the eminently successful
termination of the miners strike there
closes one of the most remarkable in
dustrial battles on record. 1t has been
struggle of the weightiest signifi-
canoe to every man who tolls, and, be-
sides winning substantial wage in
1ease for the miners, places labor and
its cause on a higher plane in public
estimation and sympathy than was
ever before known.
1.-THE miners have shown the nation
that a great strike, involving over 100,-
600 men. in several different states, can
he conducted peaceably. They have
shown that a general voluntary sus-
nension of work need not mean nee
essarily that riot and blood must fol-
low. Nay, more-they have shown
that not only can an immense body OF
workingmen throw down their tools
and continue in idleness for some
| months without breaking the law, but
they have shown that even under the
most trying and extraordinary circum-
stances can 1t be done.
"All these things have the miners
suffered without complaint, without Of
fering a display Of force in defense
They have meekly bowed before every
injury fleaped upon their heads by theil
oppressors. These miners met in largo
numbers. They marched to the inspir-

The Louisiana supreme court has re-
voked a valuable water front franchise
given to a railroad on the ground that
the city had no right to grant for the
private profit Of a corporation that
which belonged to the whole people
The principle involved in this decision
is thoroughly sound and If carried out
to its logical end would destroy the
leading monopolies Of the land, tear ur
the street railway franchises and put
the land grant railroad into the hands
of the people. The United States SUI
preme court, however, has never failed
to reverse any decision that threatened
monopoly and we may confidently loof
for something in that line before the
Louisiana case is fully disposed Of

The turn of life is turning either
into a prolonged walk or into the
grave. Between the ages of forty and
sixty a man who has lived proper
life ought to be considered in MS
prime. His matured strength OF co;stl-
tuition renders him almost impervious
10 the attacks of disease, and eNpe-
,rience has given him soundness ana
lyipeness of judgment. His mind is res
,olute, firm, and equal; all his func-
klons are in the most perfect order
lie assumes a mastery over his bust
Ness. builds up competence on the
foundation he has formed in early
manhood, and passes through a period
Ioe life attended by many qualifications.
Having gone year or two past sixty,
he arrives at standstill. But here
comes what we have termed the turn
,of life, which, If successfully negotla-
ted. leads to old age. At this period
govt and apoplexy lie in wait for the
traveller. The system and powers nav
ing reached their utmost expansion
now begin either to close in like flow
ers at sunset, or to break down at
once. One injudicious stimulant, a
,single excitement, may force it beyond
lits strength, whilst careful supply OF
rprops and the necessary care and at
tention should sustain the system IN
health and vigor.

The length of the indian frontier
which is threatened by the attacks OF
the tribesmen, from the Chitral district
to Baluchistan, is about five hundred
miles. The Swat, Momand, Ozarkzal,
Afridi and other tribes which are fight
ing against the English are hardy
mountaineers, living on the slopes Oh
the Hindu Kush range. Most OF them
occupy debatable ground between Az
CHAN and British territory, and they
acknowledge no allegiance to either au-
thority. Some of them have been sub
sidized by the Indian government, and
the Afridis, the most warlike OF them,
have furnished recruits for the Indian
army. 2

The labor leader who says that low
wages comes from the competition OF
women, and that this is why male
workmen cannot afford to marry, is
more or less right; but unfortunately
women have to live somehow, and they
must have money to do it. The DIM
Guilty with labor leaders is that they
look at things as they ought to be and
not as they are; but capital as well as
labor is subjected to conditions most OF
which are inevitable. For, of course
the women can't be assassinated; and'
after all, affection rules to some extent,
and there are proportionately more
marriages among the very poor imam
the very rich.
