RETURNING AcvITITY IN LOCOMOTIVE
BUILDING.--FOr some time past the
work at the Baldwin locomotive es-
tablishment has been slack The men
have been working irregularly; some
OF them on half time, and some making
but two full days a week, while a few
fortunate ones have been making over
time on special jobs. We believe that
we are quite safe in stating that these
great shops have not been working at
more than half-if, indeed, as much as
half-their full capacity for long time
past. On recent morning, however.
the men were reiOiced to find that the
notice referring to short hours had
been replaced by an announcement
that the shops would Immediately re-
turn to full time.
This is good news not only to the
employees of the Baldwin Locomotive
Work, but to all mechanics, because it
is generally recognized that these shops
serve as a sort of industrial barometer,
indicating in advance of others the
rise and fall of activity in all branches
of mechanical trades.

The First General Census of Russia.

Official tabulations of the results of
the recent Russian census - the first
general census of the Muscovite En-.
plre-shOw that the population of the
Cars dominiOns on FEBRUARY the 9th
last, the date of the enumeration. was
l20,211, 113. In 1851, according to
Koppen's tabulations, the population
OF the Russian Empire was g., $50, G45.
Notwithstanding the large accessions
OF territory to the empire during the
intervening fOrty-six years, the popu-
latlon added by conquest and bv ces-
sion was not cOrrespondingly great, and
figure rather less than 5000. 600
would well cover any increase of the
number of the Cars subjects due to
such territorial aggrandizement. The
natural increase of the Russian people
during the past half century, therefore,
amounted approximately to SIS per
cent.
The industrial development which
Las begun in Russia and the approach
ing opening of new lands to settlement
by the completion of the Great Siber-
ian Hallway make it extremely proba-
ble that in the next fifty years the Rus
sian nation will grow at a greatly ac-
celerated rate
Long before the year 1850 the num-
Der of Russian cities with populations
OF 100000 or more may have increased
from nineteen, as now, to twice that |
many; and the Gar may be lord over
2OO,OOO,O 900 Russians-to say nothing
OF the Bulgarians, Turks, Armenians
and other peoples whom the successor
OF Peter the Great hopes to add to the |
number of his subjects upon the final |
partition of the Ottoman Empire.
1t would be a matter of serious con-
Germ to the whole civilised world if the |
probably enormous growth of the Rms
sian Empire in population should not
be accompanied by corresponding de-
velopment of popular liberties and ed
ucatiOn. A highly organized military
autocracy with a colossal population
such as Russia promises to boast in the
near future would be menace to the
civilization and political institutions of
the European Continent. -PhiI0del-

A FERvKNT PRAYER.-A white min

cOlOred church, several miles from

appeal for the white brother and said:

SKY-ScRAPING INDUSTRY sky.
scraping bnilding industry in New
York has gone to great extremes, but
has not yet reached the limit. The
latest proposition is to erect 59-story
building, to be 200 feet in height. 1t
may amount to nothing more than
mere talk, but if such thing is SER
iously contemplated, it is high time
the law stepped in. Monstrocities of
that kind are neither needed nor de-
sired, and if there is no law on the
statute books to prevent their erection,
the next Legislature should promptly
supply the want.

INFELICITlES OE JOURNALISM.
How the Editors Views are,subverted.

The Baltimore .Sun, like most citv
papers, thinks the country editor has
"goodly heritage, " but tells occasion
ally how they have vexed souls. It
says;
We noted not long ago the troubles
OF our esteemed friend, the Cumber-
land Net0s. Our friend believes with
all his columns that taxation is no tyr
amy and that high and prohibitorv
tax wall is the only specific for all
the ills which affiict or can afflict the
body polite. One morning there was
CONSERVATION in Cumberland. The
Net0s came out and fired a whole
broadside into the protection ranks
1t denounced protection and argued
Tor free trade with fierce and unholv
zeal. People read it and rubbed their
spectacles and read it again to see if
their eyes did not deceive them. But
there 1t was. The NetOs was that dav
violently for free trade. The next
day the explanation came. Some one
had blundered. The purveyor in the
city had sent the free-trade page of
plates instead of the protection plates.
and they had slipped into the forms
unobserved. But while the excitement
lasted the unhappy editor drank the
bitter waters of affliction.
And now the countenance of our es-
teemed friend, the editor of the Wor- |
cester Ad0Ocatc, is sad and his soul is
full OF heaviness. The AdUOcate takes
pride IN announcing itself as ''the only
republican paper in Worcester county" "
and It's loyalty to the Hon. George w.
wellington had been considered above
proof. What, then, was the amaze
nent OF Worcester county when one
morning the republican paper came
resh and damp from the press con-
aiming an article which referred tn
he leader of the psrty as .'Shanty-
own George?" 1t gave great occasion
or the enemy to blaspheme, and the
ons OF Belial made haste to make
mouths at our friend and ceased not
Then the explanation came. The
ldC0cate had been John Phenixed.
In enemy had done it. The editor had
'een away, and when he came back he
Vrote a scorcher. He said that the
apers which had quoted the ''Shantv-
own George" article are ring organs
nd the editors have mustard-seed
ouls. In quoting editorials from a
aper, says our friend, it is only fair
o quote "what the responsible owners
that sheet wrote when sober. and
ot what some one slipped into the
aper when they were away from the
flee on legitimate business. We
ometimes fight hard, but are always
lir."
Everybody remembers what happen
to the San Diego Hcrald. The ed
or was a violent democrat and went
ut into the State along with the dem
cratic candidate for Governor to make :
oeeches, leaving his paper in charge of
his friend, John Phoenix. John !
h@nex was whig, and in the alb
'nce of the editor he conducted the
'eratd as a WHICH organ.
And so it will be seen that while. as ,
rule, the country editor are ways of
easantness, all his paths are not paths :

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoRs HURT. Two
trains OF cars, carrying delegates to the
Christian Endeavor Convention, which
meets in San Francisco, collided We'd
nesday, which resulted disastronsly to
the passengers. Five persons were
killed outright in the collision which
took place on the Chicago and North
western Railroad and numerous others
injured. The second collision on the
Vandalia road in Indiana, was also ac-
companied with very serious results,
ten being killed. The travelling on
both these railroads has been unpre-
cedented in their history and required
the trains to be run in sections. The
collisions occurred by the running of
one section into another.

Blinded Partisans.

Those Ignorant and narrow-minded
scrlbblers of the state who can see No
further than the temporary advance
ment of the Democratic individual
interest naturally object to anv sug-
gestlon that the Kent county outrage
should be settled by the courts of the
state. They cannot understand that n
demand for justice can be inspired bv
other than selfish motives. They insist
upon ignoring the equity and Justice
of the proposition.
1t matters not what may be the poIit-
lcal belief of the men who were de-
trauded. The only point to consider
IS how to best bring about yindica-
tlon to injury done; how award to those
who were elected the offices for which
they were chosen; how to undo a
great wrong and to punish those who
violated every sense of decency: how
to provide a guarantee that in the fut-
ure the votes cast will be counted and
recorded and returned and the men who
secure pluralties are given their certi6-
Gates.
1t matters not to the Noyui,aQ Ncrs
whose seats are in question-whether
the men defrauded are Democrats.
Republicans, Prohibitionists or Single
Takers. The man who receives a plur-
allty OF the votes cast an election is en-
titled to his certificate. Fortunately
the Kent county outrage will be the
last OF the kind in the State. But.
nevertheless, the men who who We're
guilty OF the great wrong last Novem-
Der should be made to do their duty.

The OHIO NoNnNEE.-The democrats
OF Ohio Wednesday nominated for Gov
ernor Horace L. Chapman with entbus-
lasm on a platform which reasserts the
silver planks adopted at Chicago last
summer. Greenback imitation has
long had charms for portion of the
ONO democracy, so that their advoc-
acy of silver imitation is not surprisino,
Both forms of initiation have been beat
en- at the polls, but, learning nothing
from disaster, the Bourbons of Ohio
court another defeat. They are verv
confident, it is true, Just now and
claim victory for free silver and their
candidate in stentorian tones. But it
Is not clear why they should do so.
Ohio is normally a republican State
and the democratic vote is now greatly
weakened by the detection of sound
money democrats. This detection is
continuous and progressive. On the
other hand, few democrats can be
found anywhere who, having once
made up their minds to vote against so
cent dollars and disaster, can now see
their way clear to vote for them

TROUBLES IN INDIA.-Troubles do
not come singly to the people of India.
The earthquake, two weeks Sunday,
was of much greater severity than was
at first supposed. Thousands of per-
sous have been rendered homeless, and
great suffering will result. 1t is no
wonder that the superstitious natives
attribute their misfortunes to super
natural causes. Famine, plague and
earthquake have successfully over
whelmed them, and with their last mis-
fortune comes intolerable heat to make
them more miserable.
