Middleton Independent: The Wilson
law found the warehouse and docks of
the country filed with foreign goods
awaiting to come in under it and swell
its receipts, and the Dingley law found
the country filed with foreign goods
which had paid duty before it came into
operation. Yet the Dingley law in its
second month came. within S3000,OO0
of meeting current expenses, While the
Wilson law in its second month fell
thirteen Millions short of the expendi-
lures.
TARIFF AND LUMBER.
Ukiah Republican Press: The lumber
industry on the coast is looking up in
very promising manner, and it will not
please the popocrats to learn that prices
have advanced A WELL known lumber
man of Mendocino recently said in an
interview: The tariff has had good
deal to do with this, for the cheaper
grades of pine lumber which We're for
merly supplied by Canadian merchants
have been shut out. Our mills are run
ming uD to the limit, but we cannot I'LL
cur orders, and we are refusing a great
many that come in.
TWO STRIKES.
Oakland Enquirer: A couple of strikes
which have just occurred in Eastern
States are the most curious, as to their
origin, of any We remember reading
about. IN Newcastle, Pennsylvania, an
eInploye in tin plate mill kissed one OF
the young women employed there. He
belonged to the union, which decided
that kissing a girl against her will was
lion q
charge, and demanded his reinstate-
ment This was refused, and 2OO men
and boys went on strike, and at last re-
ports were still out. The young woman
herself, who was the indirect cause OF
the trouble, naiwely says she does MOI
think the offense was sufficient to
cause the mans discharge. The othei
strike referred to occurred in window
glass factory in Wilmington, Del, ano
was caused by paying one class OF Ia
borers rate of wages somewhat apoV'
the union scale. The other employees de-
manded a reduction of the wages to the
scale, and when the employers refused
the strike was declared. But these IN
cidents were not needed to demonstrate
that labor unions can do foolish Things
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Sonora Union-Democrat: One by one
those who have been bitterly opposed Z
the annexation of the Hawaiian Isl
ands by the United States are falling
into line into favor of the measure. Thf
last to express himself in believing tina
the land of the Kanakas future depends
on it coming under the protecting folds
of the stars and stripes is Samuel Far
! Ler ex-Prenier to the depoSed queen
He is known as the richest man in Ha
waii. as we'll as one of the most able alle
popular. He states that as he was born
under rnonarchical rule. he naturally
would prefer to see Liliuokalani agar
placed on the Hawaiian throne, pu
knowing in his own heart that Such Wal
, rever be the case takes what he con
siders will be the next best step for tn
salvation of his country, and asks ina
those who believe with him save 1
from ruin by praying that it be allowed
: TO add another star to the American
flag. Parker's influence is widespread
, and will doubtless have great Welgh
with the outcome of the annexation
movement.
