NEWPORT.

The MONITOR for several years has made
| a write-up of this village, showing the
gro with, Improvement. etc., which hereto
fore, as this year, are very creditable to the
village. The following viii substantially
embrace the work done. the improve
ments for the year have been particularly
noticeable in the number of tenement
houses and residences which have been
built:
DR.. J. w. Currier finished double ten
ement on Third St., the work having been
done by FL. o. Smith. The tenements are
now occupied by Rufus Spear and Bert
Wheeler; Kendrick Richmond built a nice
double tenement house on Central St., the
work done under the supervision of J. R.
Huse, who did himself credit in doing
No. 1. job; the house is "a by 36 feet, two
stories high, seven rooms in each tene-
ment. These tenements are occupied by
Chas. Hays and Walter Cameron III. FL.
Caswen built large five tenement block
on the corner of Eastern Avenue and Cen
tral St.; these tenements are nearly all oc-
cupied, which, with block he had pre-
viousIy built, gives him eleven tenements.
The houses are a good investment, equal
many of our people have gone into in the
past. A. F. Scott built another three ten
ement house on Scott's> Row, which is
nearly completed, giving him with his
other tenements handsome income. He
has seven tenements in all. Charles S.
Batchelder purchased of John Sheldon
lot on Prospect St., on which he moved
his house, located on the corner of South
and Third streets, which has been put in
thorough repair and is now ocucpied by
Louis Follett. Mr.. .Batchelder also NOV

enlarged it by one half. The work of
moving these buildings was done by w.
Fl. Curtis & Son; 81. o. Smith doing the
carpenter work. Mr.. Batchelder is having
built on the old site new house, which,
when completed, will be second to none in
the place. Frank Lapierre laid the founda-
ton, G. D. Story & Co. planned the house,
and Chas. Norris and Lewis Before are
doing the work, which is to be completed
May 1st, 1898. When done it will be- oc-
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Batchelder. and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. True. Mrs. Lee
Miller moved her old house on to the 4
north side of her lot and sold the same to
E. G. Blanchard, who had it thoroughly
repaired. Mrs. Miller is having a house
built where the old one stood, the planning
and work having been done by g. D.

MRS. JACKSON IN MONTGOMERY

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
Zone feature of the celebration of Me
mortal Day. in Montgomery, Ala, which
touched the heart of every veteran in that
city. and which will impress every one
who hears of it, was the presence of Mrs.
Jackson, the wife of Stonewall Jackson,
and her visit to the old capitol, the
house in which the Confederacy was
born. How appropriate it was that she,
the wife Of Jackson, who died upon the
woeful field of Charlottesville, should.
upon the day set aside as memorial OF
the dead, be prese ut to take part in the
exercises. Montgomery was honored
Monday as she has seldom been. Presi-
dents and ex-Pres;dents nay visit her;
the representatives Of foreign govern
ments may make her gates the objective
points Of journey; capitalists may see
millions in her future and come to invest
their money, but the presence Of none OF
these should rival, in the estimation of
the people Of Montgomery, that OF this
widow of the Confederacy, the relict Of
Stonewall Jackson, he whose nature was
as gentle as a woman's. but whose heart
was as bold as lion's-the irresistible
leader OF the great civil war"

"WAGES MUST GO DOWN.

In n recent interview, Senator Elklns,
who is a noted champion OF protection
and other schemes to enrich the few at
the expense of the many, rs quoted as
saving that under the operation OF the
Dingley tariff wages must go down.
The Mckinley act sent them down not
only to n lower scale, but made 1t I'M
possible for workingmen to get. employ
ment at all. And now We are told by
one of the leading protectionists, when
wages are lower than before the enact
ment of the Mckinley act, wages must
90 down." and he adds wages in America
stand against revival of business"
Senator Elkins may be right when he
says wages must go down." Under the
gold standard and a protective tarln
higher than ever known before, wages
have gone down and employment has
lessened In the last campaign Senator
Elkins and his party assured us that Mr.
Mckinley was 1.-The advance agent or
prosperity" and appealed to the working
men to vote for him in order to secure
high wages and steady work. Now Mr..
Elkins turns to them and says: Wages
in America stand against revival OF
business" In other words, the threat
is made to the workingmen that unless
they consent to a further reduction OF
their wages the promised revival or
business will not come.
The threat of Mr.. Elkins is but can
did expression of the views of the sydi-
cate that purchased the presidency last
November They want high tariff to add
to their income, but they don't want
to make IA fair division with the wage
earners. and sooner than do that, they
will postpone the revival Of business.
One of these days the humbug Of pro
lection will fully expose itself.

THEY ALL SEE IT NOW.

There is not thoughtful, candid man
in the country who, if he believes that
Mckinley was fairly elected last Novem-
ber. does not believe the people are sorry
that they elected him. They are like the
little boy, sick with over-eating, Who'
when asked by his mother: sonny,
won't Won have some more batter cakes!'
answered: 81 don't want them what |
have already got"
Mr.. John p. Hopkins, ex-Mayor OF
Chicago, was one Of the leading men IN
the Indianapolis convention movement
that organized bolt Of tie regular
Democratic National ticket. He was a
member Of the executive committee and
his influence was potential IN
converting the city Of Chicago
to the Mckinley standard. In
a recent interview he declared that ow-
ing to the tariff the gold Democrats are
sick of their alliance with the Repubh-
cans, and the silver men everywhere are
elated and confident They are sure, he
says. Of winning at every election to be
held this year and next, and he adds:
81 meet no men who do not share
that opinion. Look at the Chicago
election. That city gave Mckinley
the greatest majority of any city in
the country, except possibly Philadel-
mia. Yet it turned around and elect
ed Harrison mayor by a majority
over all other candidates. 1t was the
same way at the elections in this
State and elsewhere. 1t will be the
same way this fall"

WAGES OF COAL MINERS.
baltimore SUM


In an interview with Cath" Senator
Elkins is reported as saying that wages
must come down The railroads get one
cent for hauling a ton Of coal five miles,
for one hundred miles twenty cents, less
than coal shovelers get for putting ton
Of coal into your chute from the cart.
Wages in America stand against any re-
vivaI of business
Where, in the name Of the board of
trustees, is the tariff? We had been led
to believe that a high tariff means high
wages, and that the high tariffs have
been maintained with an eye single to
high wages. and that with the passage
of the Dingley bill, American labor will
roll in wealth. What can Senator Elkins
be thinking about? Has he forgotten
that nothing but a cheap coat can make
n cheap man? When the Senator talks
about wages in America standing against
any revival Of business does he include
the wages of Senators? Perhaps the
Senator will introduce a bill to decrease
senatorial wages.
A little later on in his interview, after
complaining of the panic freight rates re-
ceived by the railroads for carrying coal,
he boasts that his West Virginia Central
and Pittsburg Road pays all expenses
and makes an annual surplus Of $125,-
600. This being the case, although Mr..
Elkins did not say so, the men who
shoveled coal into the chute must ac-
cumulate even greater SURPRISES.
But the talk OF reducing the wages of
coal miners and coal shovelers just as
the tariff on coal is about to be nearly

The news comes from Philadelphia
that clergyman objects to the dedication
of a monument to Stephen Girard be-
cause that noble benefactor chad no re-
ligion." As a rule no class Of men have
a higher appreciation of the usefulness
of such men as Girard than the clergy
men. It sickens us when one so narrow
and bigoted advertises his littleness by
methods like the one employed by the
Philadelphia preacher. The only harm
it does is to give scoffers chance to I'M
