An Industrlal Revolution.


From the Detroit Free Press: Hen
ry ]. Eickhoff, deputy factory inspec-
tor, in conversation with 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 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 OBJ
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 have been study
ing the cause of this singular state Of
things. l find that, as a rule, big fac
tories hare q big list of high-salar-
led officers-manager, superintendent,
travelling men, bookkeepers, etc. Every
stakeholder always has some friend or
relative that he wants placed, and
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
tnacles 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 manufactuT-
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 engin-
Ger or foreman is needed. In one block
in this city there are fifteen different
factories OF shops, and all running full
time. In transacting business they
protect themselves from loss when re-

About the time that the camp meet
ing at Old Orchard claimed to be en-
gagged in the work Of casting out devils
there was wild outburst Of negro re-
ligious frenzy in Mountville, South Car
oliRa, over the alleged capture of the
original and only complete devil. 1t
was proposed to bury his suggestions
majesty, and it was thought that inn
mediately thereafter the judgment
would arrive. But we can't see that
there is any Improvement in any stu
alton, any more than there has been
during the long period which has been
largely given up to the humiliation Of
the diabollcal wretch. And does not
the sultan still live?

Some figures obtained by the United
States Marine Hospital bureau, compar-
ing 1896 with 1890, show favorably for
Illinois and Chicago. In 1890 the death
rate of Illinois was 24.O1 for every 1000
of population. In 1896 this death rate
was reduced to 14.01 per 1000 popula-
ton, showing a reduction of 42 per
cent in the death rate of the state. In
Chicago the death rate in 1896 was
21.1S per 1000 population, and in 1896
1t was only 14,S6 per 1000 population,
showing that Chicago, the second city
in the Union in population. made sub
stantially the same reduction in her
death rate that was made by the state
of Illinois as whole. The healthiest
city in Illinois last year was Sterling
--death-rate 4,0S per 1000; Blooming
ton was low-96S; Galesburg little bet
ter 9.5S; Quincy. 1902 Comparing
Chicago last year-14.S6-with other
large cities it appears 1t is healthier
than any OF its competitors in popula-
ton. The death-rate of San Francisco
was 1876; Washington, 1896; Atlanta,
Ca, 1891; Boston, 22.5S; St. Louis,
1876; Brooklyn, 20,52; New York,
2O.S6; Cincinnati, 1890; Cleveland,
14.72; Philadelphia, 2O.17; and Milwau-
kee, 10. st, Paul had a death rate Of
S25 and Indianapolis 1880, while De-
troit was 14.2S, almost the same as
Chicago. 1t is a good sign that the
death-rate is diminishing. The state Of
Indiana reduced her death rate from
1886 in 1890 to 1910 in 1896. Iowa re-
duced her death rate from 1887 in 1890
to 1888 In 1896; Minnesota from 20.R
to 1855; Ohio from 17,O4 to 13S3; W.
eonsin from 16 to 1914

The Hazlaton Outrage.

After an hours elaboration over the
evidence presented in the case of the
shooting of the Hazleton coal miners
by Sheriff Martin and his deputies, the
coroner's 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 to
their deaths by gun-shot wounds on
Sept. 10, 1897, at the hands of Sheriff
James Martin and his deputies, and in
this we, the jury, do agree and we,
Phil ]. Boyle, Thomas t. Thomas, Bar
ton Freas and Peter McKiernan, of this
jury, do further say that the said
Clement Platock, with others, was
marching peaceably and unarmed on
the public highway; that they were in
tercepted by said Sheriff Martin and
his deputies and mercilessly shot to
death; and we do further find that the
killing was unnecessary and could
have been avoided without serious in
jury to either person or property, and
we find, finally, that the killing was
wanton and unjustifiable, but in this
we, George Maue and F. ]. MacNeal, of
this jury, do not concur; and we, the
jury, further say that there was such
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 unjustifiable.
All that Is left to be done now is to
take all necessary precautions to Sc
cure a fair trial, when the hope will
be strong that Martin and his men may
be brought to justice.-Eight Hour

Sinne the existence of countless mill
lions of infinitesimal organisms is an
admitted fact, the lay mind has fallen
into the habit of calling everything in

of benevolent bacteria was made
known, and now these critics find, to
their establishment, that there may be

of keeping us in good health, and mak-

A Victory over Self.

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
pays 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. It has been
g struggle of the weightiest signifi-
eance to every man who tolls, and, be-
sides winning a substantial wage in
crease for the miners, places labor and
its cause on higher plane in public
estimation and sympathy than was
ever before known.
''The miners have shown the nation
that a great strike, involving over 1O0,-
900 men, in several different states, can
be conducted peaceably. They have
shown that a general voluntary sus-
pension Of work need not mean nee
Hsarily that riot and blood must fol-
n. Nay. more-they have shown
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1897-11-27

that not only can an Immense boay o.
w0rkingmen 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 clrcum-
stances can it 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 heaped upon their heads by their
oppressors. These miners met in large
numbers. They marched to the inspir-
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 a threat, never an opprobrious
epithet that arose from the ranks Of
the strikers.
"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 a quarrel with re-
volver. In the soft coal strike proper
there was no rioting, no bleodshed, 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 one
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
1t 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 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 week on installment &C
counts.
The contract of sale in such cases
contains a clause which makes the OBJ
ject 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 impris-
onment for conversion if he fails toApay
and declines or is unable to return the
article. AS the amount of the sale is
frequently less than So, and the pur-
chaser usually altogether ignorant Of
the law and of the wording of the con-
tract, this right of execution against his
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 should
be the adjustment of Imprisonment in
cases of sales on the installment plan
for an amount not exceeding $50, and
in cases of furniture or clothing to any
amount.

The Balm Boat Failure.

The Balm roller boat, which 1t was
promised would do such wonderful
things in the way of speed, has now
been put through it's trials, and, as
is now generally known, has been
found wanting, is a lamentable failure,
and furnishes yet another instance of
the enthusiasm of an inventor seeking
to override the ascertained possibilities
Of mechanical effort. Instead of a
speed of twenty knots, as anticipated,
only eight knots has been attained,
and this Notwithstanding that the
power exerted was very considerably
in excess Of that anticipated in the ORR
ginal designing Of the engines. M.
Bazin, in addition to having to suffer
the agonies of defeat and to put up
with the jeers and taunts Of many of
his countrymen, has now also to meet
the charge Of plagiarism, several
French contemporaries having pointed
out that his scheme was anticipated,
although there were slight differences
in actual design of the rollers" and
the method of propelling them.

Variation In the Earth's Magnetism.
From the Boston Transcript: Prof
Frank H. Bigelow, of the United States
weather bureau, who has been for sew
eral years trying to discover how close
is the correspondence between meteor
illogical changes and certain fuctua-
lions in the earth's magnetism, said be-
fore the British Association at Toron-
to that certain simultaneous behavior
of the magnets at widely scattered OBJ
servatories suggests the possibility that
the earth is immersed in what is called
a magnetic field, in which there are va
riations of intensity, and which NAV
proceed from the sun. These varia-
tons, Prof. Bigelow says, show a ten
dency to fall into typical curve. In
March and September that curve stays
right side up, but at the solstices it is
upside down. The main object of this
principal paper was to explain this re-
versal, which he did by showing that
1t apparently depends upon the earth g
position in its path around the g..
He gave brief description Of a s.
cial watch which had been made In
Munich in conformity with his ideas
Tor experimental purposes. A small
magnet was suspended on the balance
wheel, and was apparently affected nv

tensity OF the magnetic influence com

from the time that the first practlcal
typewriter made its appearance 1t has
been the aim Of inventors everywhere
to produce a machine capable OF writ
ing in books as we'll as on unbound

typewriters have heretofore been heard
from, but they lacked simplicity, and
few Of them were ever put to practical
use. A machine for bookwritiEg has
just been completed by two inventors
Of New York, which embodies many
unique features, and comparison OF
the new device with typeWrlters not
adapted for book work is interesting.
In designing the book writer its makers
have, wherever possible, adhered to the
principles of construction employed by
manufacturers of other first-class. type
writers adapted for writing on loose
pages. The keyboard is small and
compact, and is known as the universal,
the arrangement of the letters being the
same as that on most standard type
writer's. There are forty-four celluloid
keys, which together represent eighty
characters. The type basket, in which
the keys are arranged in circular form,
is beneath the fingers of the keys, and

the paper, and is brought back again
by a steel spring connected with the
type bar. The fingers of the keys which

very conspicuous and which suggests
its special adaptability is a long and

The bicycle CORPS of the 25th United
States Infantry recently rode from
Fort Missoula, Montana, to st. Louis,
Missouri, a distance Of 1900 miles. The
commander of the corps has reported
TO the war department that the trip
required thirty-four days of actual
travel, at an average rate of SO miles
per hour. A large part Of the trip was
made under trying conditions, over
mountains, and on sandy or muddy
roads, with an occasional fording of
streams; the men living meanwhile on
the regulation field and travel ration.
The health Of the command was excel
lent, and none of the soldiers were dis
abled; the commander thinks that the
practicability of the bicycle as a means
Of military transportation is demon

Two years ago a man was lynched in
Alabama for an offense against wom-
an. The job was done in a rather
dramatic manner and the popVIace
seemed well satisfied when all was over.
The leaders Of the job were applauded
on all sides,and it was thought that an
end had been put to deeds Of the kind
in that vicinity. Now comes the news
from the same point to the effect that
the man who led the lynching party
of two years ago has been arrested for
a similar offense to the one for which
he showed 50 much indignation, all Of
which goes to show that men who lead
mobs never do so from proper motives.
The leader of a mob is always cow
ard, generally sneak and nine times
out of ten moral degenerate. Let the
world brand the would-be heroes Of
this sort Of justice with the brand Of
infamy and there will be fewer lynch
ings.

"Housekeepers like to be reminded
now and then,'' remarked well-known
lady to Washington Star reporter, "of
lots of little things in connection with
their affairs. 1t is not that they do not
know Of them themselves, but with the
thousands of other little things to re-
member they forget. 1t is for that rea-
son that l would like to remind them
that cucumbers are the most effective
destroyers of reaches of anything that
l know of. 1t is not necessary to cut
up the cucumbers, for the ordinary
trimmings from them when being pre-
pared for the table will suffice. Simply
scatter the peel or trimmings about
in the places where the reaches are
seen. The roach eats them and there
by ends his existence. In case the
roach does not feel hungry enough the
first night and the cucumber is not
sufficiently attractive throw the trim
mings into the stove the next morning
and set out fresh lot the next night.
The green coloTing matter that kills
the reaches is the same thing that
makes cucumbers so annoying at times
to the human family"
