SAFETY OF THE JAIL.

The application Of Sheriff Meyer for
steel screen shutters for the north tank
Of the county jail ought to be granted
without any delay. The present condi-
ton Of the jail in some respects Is pub
lie scandal. This implies no reflection on
Sheriff Meyer. because It Is condition
which has existed ever since the place
was built. The escape OF Blanck. and the
suicide of Lawrence Cummings should
have been sufficient warning TO the au-
thoritIes that there was something very
seriously wrong. either in the construction
OF the Jail or in its management. The
only reason more suicides have not oc-
CURED is that more prisoners have not de-
sired TO avail themselves of the oppor-
tunities which offered.
There Is no occasion for any harshness
by a jailor TO his charges. but IL Is his
duty TO protect himself against q conspt-
racy between prisoner and his friends
To cheat justice. and bring opprobrium
upon those charged with the custody OF
people accused OF crime. Laxity Is apt
20 grow gradually upon q set of officials.
especially IL there In too much good ma
ture: but these things become known in
time and challenge public criticism There
are too many people around and about a
Jail for secrets. and although breaches OF
such regulations az good sheriff may
find IL wise TO make may escape notice
for time. there II always hazard in II.
A sheriff must depend upon the loyalty
and fidelity OF his deputies. and their duty
Is TO him, not TO the prisoners.
The absence OF the screens asked for by
the sheriff practically relieves him of
great measure OF responsibility. because
IL weapons and other contraband articles
are found In the cell IL would be impossi-
BILE TO determine whether they were intro
duced through the windows or by visitors
through the connIvance of subordsnates.
II It were possible. not only should there
be screens. but the jail wing should be
rallied on so securely that no ingenuity
could overcome the barrier Such an ad-
ditionai safeguard might mar the archi-
tectural harmony OF the court house. bu,

BUSINESS LOOKS BRIGHTER.
New Brunswick Manufacturers Re-
port Increased Orders.

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 20, 1897
Many signs of returning prosperity ave
manifested themselves in Middlesex coun-
ty. This is particularly true of many of
the industries in this city, which have
been running on reduced time for about
four years.
The plant of the National Water Tube
Boiler Company, employing 100 hands, has
Just started up after a long shutdown.
The company has received orders which
will necessitate its running full time with
a full complement of men for the next
three months at least. The plant of the
Neverslip Manufacturing Company has
been greatly enlarged, and more opera
tives employed. Some large orders have
been received by the Norfolk and New
Brunswick Hosiery Company, and the
managers say that the outlook for the
fall trade is most encouraging. Fully
1000 operatives are employed in this fac
tory.
A large powder and explosive manufac-
turing industry will shortly be added to
those already located in Middlesex county.
The concern is the Rhenish Westphalian
Explosive Company. which is moving its
plant from Cologne, Germany, to this
country to escape the high duty on the
goods it manufactures. Fifteen hundred
plant is In full operation. The Site has
been laid out in a tract of land 10 miles
from this city, neal the town of James
burg. The work of constructing the fac
expected that the plant will be under
operation in three months.

Klondske ssOutrage..

The American miners, who are rusnihs
to the Klondike district to dig Canadian
gold out of Canadian soil and bring IT 10
the United States. are highly indignant
because the Canadian authorities propose
to enforce the tax laws of the country
in respect to the gold taken out OF the
mines. This indignation is fine in a peo-
pie. who have just enacted the Dlngiey
law, who have a Chinese exclusion law
upon theft statute books and who are
constantly clamoring against the pauper
labor of Europe which comes to seek
work and pay in this country, and es-
p~ecially against the Italians, who, having
made their money here by productive toll,
go home to enjoy it.
The Canadian laws exact certain
registry fees and annual assessments,
and royalties of 10 to 20 per cent upon
all gold mined, depending on the amount.
The burden is heavy, of course, but IL
will occur to many cool-headed people
that if is uncommonly liberal of the Can
adam government TO permit foreign min-
ers to fatten on the natural riches OF
the country and then transport the pre-
cious metal to their own countries, i'm
poverishing Canada and enriching her
rivals at her expense.
We are a very one-sided people, it is to
be feared. When we hear OF Engiish
workmen getting good wages for manu-
featuring goods to be imported into the
United States, we are-some of us-en-
ragged at the injustice done the Ameri-
can w~orkingman. But we equally think
We are aggrieved if any interference is
thrown in the way of our making all the
money We have a mind to, at the e1-
pense of other nations.

GLASsW0RKERS' PROSPECTS.
They Are Unsettled. Although MILL

Especial 10 THE Jersey City News."1
MELVILLE, July 20. 1S97.-The Ding
ley tariff bill recently passed by Congress
will not affect the green or flint glass
bottle blowers of the United States. The
cause of the slacknsss in the glass in
dustry at present is due to more glass
beirg produced than is consumed.
The prospects for next seasons work
in this city, which is the largest glass
manufacturing site east of Pittsburg, is
unsettled. AT Whitall, Tatum & Co.'S
South Millville works two factories have
been torn down and two new day tanks
are being built. The other furnaces are
being rebuilt, as is the custom every year
at this time. Workmen are engaged in
rebuilding the window glass works in this
city, which ave been unused for a num-
Der of years. The improvements will
cost $4,000. The managers hope to have
the plant ready for operation by October.
1t will give employment to nearly 200 per-
sons. The green blowers have settled
their wage scale, but the flint have not.
and the outlook for mex falls work will
remain Unknown until the scale is set
