With Interest.

drawn the Situation However, the

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The cable
gram from London giving the sub
stance of an article to appear in The
National Review to the effect that the
United States monetary commission, of
which Senator Wolcott of Colorado l.
the head, had met with gratifying sue
cess in France and stating positively
that England would reopen its Indian
mints and otherwise contribute to an
extended use of silver. was read with
interest by government officials.
They had known that the commits
sion was very cordially recei we'd in
France and that the commissioners
were greatly encourag ed by the strong
and apparently increasing silver sentl-
ment in that country, as the president
not long since receive d from Senator
WolcOtt a letter to this effect.
The statement that Engl and Is ready
to Join in the movement to the extent
of reopeuing her Indian mints Is re-
ceived with many doubts. y copy of
the cablegram was shown to the presI-
dent and to Secretary Gage, but neither
of them cared to express any opinion
on it beyond the statement that they
feared The Review article was over
drawn.

article announcing an important IN
metallic development at the hands of
the United States monetary cOmmls-
sion. consisting of Senator Edward o.
Wolcott, eX-\ ice President Adlal T.
Stevenson and General Charles jackson
Paine, which will arrive here in a few
days. The commission, according to
The National Review, Will present to
the British government a joint state
ment from France and the United
States declaring their desire to terml-
nate the disastrous experiments inaug-
urated in 1873 and claiming our good
will and active concurrence.
The National Review adds: 1--WE
are able to announce that England's re-
ply will be that the government Is will
ing to open the Indian mlnts. to make
a further substantial contribution TO
the rehabilitation of silver by extend

JATAN's interest in Hawaii is obvious
and her protest against annexation to
the United States, says the Pittsburg
Post. is precisely what the United States
would do did we occupy her position.
Under the laws of Hawaii the $4,000
japanese now on the islands are entitled
to citizenship, and some of them are now
In possession of that right. If annexed
under the laws of the United States
japanese and Chinese cannot be natur-
allied, and thus the japanese in Hawaii
are in danger of losing their rights in
that respect. But take the other alter
native, and admit them to citizenship.
and We would have the spectacle on this
American territory and future state of
Japanese citizenship numbering thous-
suds and an American citizenship count
ed by hundreds. Why the lepers in
Hawaii Outnumber the Americans there
of voting age. President Mckinley by
his ill-sdvised treaty has been borrow
ing an immense amount of trouble i'm
the future.

FROM a recent speech by Congress
man Champ Clark, of Missouri: Five
centsIa dozen on foreign laid eggs, La
dies and gentlemen. there isn't a man
or woman IN this house that ever saw
such thing as a foreign laid egg, un-
less you have lived in a foreign land.
You only get them here once in a while
as a curiosity. Five cents a dozen on
foreign eggs to fill the American hen
and American farmer with delight,
Three cents a head on foreign raised
cabbage, You never saw one In your
life. Jerry Simpson is a populist, but
ne has lots of sense. He made a
speech on the DingIey bill IN which he
said that if they could collect ) cents on
every "cabbage-head that voted for
Mckinley they could pay the national
debt -

Greensburg, Pa, June 3O.-Samuel
Scott, the negro who shot and killed
Eliza Grady, at MorewoOd, early yester-
day morning, was captured last evening
near Scottdsle by Officer George Hum,

the roof of the wOman's house, and

inmates OF the house were aware of

Scott was jealous of the Grady woman,

killing. When questioned this evoning

That must have been embarrassing
information TO the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll d. Wright fur
nlshed that body last week concerning
the labor cost of lumber in this country
and IN Canada. His figures showed that,
while the average wages in Canadian
sawmllls Is Sl.4l and Sl.7I per day
here, the average labor cost of /. 900
feet of lumber is 81. rs in Canada and
only 81 cents here The decreased cost
of production in this country is attrib-
uted 10 the superior machinery used.
OF course the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost of pro-
ductlon-that low wages are very often
more expensive TO employers, and vice
versa But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dlssuade the lumber barons from their
purpose TO get tariff on Canadian lum-
Der so that they can the more effectualIy
rob American consumers Protectionists
care nothing for facts What they want
Il license TO steal. Single

The Harrisburg correspondent of the
Prttsburg Dispatch, Rep, says: "This
week will finish the legislature, and no.
body Will be sorry. Its record is drea-
~ waste of broken promises. Two fake
reform bills, purporting to prohibit the
payment of taxes in bulk, and political
assessments, have been passed. The
political coercion measure was defeated,
and no effort has been made to resusi-
tate 1t. The leaders seem indifferent.
The civil lservice bill has been CON
torted until there is no longer a semb
lance Of genuine civil service in any of
It's sections. The amended bill has not
been printed, and the members are not
familiar with its remarkable provisions

WAS In the heart of the tornado, and was
wreckedby it. The fright and terrible

From all reports, says the Williams
port Times, the mine investigating com
mittee vas little else than a junketing
tour to satisfy curiosity and enjoy the
luxuries by the wayside at the expense
of the state. The condition of affairs
generally is that starvation exists to a
greater degree than the dawn of pros
peirty. and the fact of coal prices being
unchanged to the consumer Is enough
to satisfy any right thinking person that
the miners are robbed and starved by
the great coal combination.
The committee, however, did not in
vestigate that far. They merely made
the discovery that the miners were iu
many instances in a deplorable
condition and all the committee could OF
" ouId do was to say: Oh, my, submit
their report and draw their pay.

When the tariff bill was about TO be
framed, the Republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates. Mr..
Aldrich. when introducing the amended
measure into the senate, claimed that
his rates We're generally lower than
those OF the house bill. The linen
schedule, however, is a notable one of
many exceptions. In it the senate rates
are higher than those Of the house and
much higher than anything ever before
known.
Under the Mckinley bill of 1890 lin
ems We're assessed 30 per cent, with a
few exceptions as high as 30 per cent
ad valorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate a large proportion of the
goods in everyday use Will be assessed
from 80 to 50 per cent and in some
cases over 100 per cent. The following
table shows some of the changes in the
cost of medium and low grade linens:
Price per yard
New duty Pres New
per cent ent. bill
Damask tablecloth- --..-...lOe 25c S71ao
Crash for roller towels. a21z %
COiOred canvas for dress lin
ings- -.-----.. .......-.----.-. 90 81 IOIS
Linen for butchers aprons. is 1872 221a
The domestic manufacturers in whose
interests these changes are supposed to
be made have stated that they do not
deserve over so per cent duty on linen
goods, and one of the principal manu-
facturers of linen and cotton handker-
chiefs in America (of Acheson, Harden
& Co, Passaic, n. J. states that he does
not desire any advance of duty ON his
goods.
The gross injustice of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that, owing to climatic condi-
tions, good fiber fax cannot be grown
or linen manufactured successfully in
this country, and when 1t is further re-
membered that the kind of linen taxed
Is the kind that Is used by the poorest
classes, while a much lower duty is put
on the finer grades.
