OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Richmond IronwOrks TO Be Started
Up al Once.
The Plant Has Been Partially Closed
Down since 1892.

Pittsheld. Mass, April 5.-The announce
ment that the Richmond Iron works. which
have been closed for long time. will be
started up at once has caused great satisfac-
tion not only among the several hundred en-
ployes who have been Idle but among busi
ness men here, who have felt the depression in
trade resulting from the lack OF money ON the
part OF the operatives The cessation Of op-
erations at the works was caused mainly ly
the action in 1892 Of the makers Of car
wheels, for which the Berkshire ore Is par
ticularly valuable, I'm deciding 10 reduce
tine proportion OF this ore used i'm the wheels
from about 80 10 20 per cent This Iessened the
demand for the product OF the works I'm Just
that proportion. The fact that the wheels
made with small proportion Of the Berk-
shire metal did not stand the test we'll has
caused renewal OF the doinand and the out
look is nOwmuch brighter.
Al no time since 1892 have the furnaces at
Richnond Vandesunville and Cheshire all
been in operation at once. The Cheshire plant
has been idle since 1899, and the others have
been operated alternately portion Of the
time. Now, however. the company has in
hand an order for 5OJ tons of ore from a con-
Germ which has not used 200 tons year for
the past four years, and others have been re-
ceived which make II necessary 10 operate
the mines and furnaces both at Richmond
and Vandesunville. The furnace at Richmond
has been started already and both ore beds
there viii be operated in full in connection
with the furnace. This will give employment
20 l05 men in a short time. Both in Richmond
and Vandesunville plants will run with
bright prospect OF ample business f1r long
time 10 come.
The announcement that the Richmond Iron
works Will soon resume operations Is closely
followed by other good news. II now appears
that there is good prospect for renewal
of business ut the sand glass works at Ches.
hire which was interrupted about three years
ago AT that time glass manufacturers who
had been using this sand announced that they
could not afford TO use il in competition with
foreign production, but now that the schedules
OF the new tariff bill are known, IL is expected
that the demands for Berkshire sand will be
renewed and steady demani for the Ches-
hire deposit is anticipated.

Language of Elbows.

Marion Crawford, in his story "A Rose
of Yesterday" just concluded in the
February Century, thus discourses OF
elbows: AT table, seated close together
there is a whole language in ones
neighbours elbow and an unlimited
power of expression in its way of avoid
ing collisions. Very perceptive people
understand that.
Primarily, in savage life, the bold
man turns his elbows out, while the
timid one presses them to his sides as
though not to give offense with them
Society teaches US to put on some little
airs, timidity as substitute that few
feel, and we accordingly draw in our
elbows when we are near any one. 1t Is
ridiculous enough, but there are hun
dred ways of doing it, hundred degrees
of readiness, unwillingneSs, pride and
consideration for others, as well as SYM
pathy for their troubles or the successes
all of which are perfectly natural to re-
fined people and almost perfectly un-
conscious. The movement of man.

character, but the movement of his ell

States were Iowa, West Virginia, In

years elapsed between the taking OF
the census and the date of the cleo
ton Now as the admitted natural in
crease was ten per cent when it should
have been fifteen per cent, 1t Will De
seen how easily the Populistic claim
tumbles to the ground.
But the Populists have claimed-and
they managed through one of their
Congressman to get it printed in the
official record of Congressional there
was fraudulent excess in sixteen States.
The States are Pennsylvania, Maryland.
West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan. Indiana,
Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Oregon, California, Ten
nessee, Missouri, Texas. They give
the census returns Of males above the
age of 81 in 1890 and compare them
with the votes cast in 1896. But the
ten per cent. increase for the six years
which is admittedly low, lower than is
warranted by statistical returns of the
growth of the country, proves that in
the four States first named, there was
less than the legal vote cast, or that
should have been cast not in 1890, but
in 1896.
However. to make their case the more
deceptive, it turns out that the Populist
trouble breeders took the vote of 1897
as basis of comparison. In that year
there was the smallest increase over
any previous national election for
twenty-four years. The following is

Sheriff Johnson Did Not Bring f1ither

Sheriff Johnson, Deputy Hunters and

night.
They went there to look after the ha-

When the case was called in Judge
Morrow's court Mr.. Jones, on behalf OF
the Sheriff, asked that the defendants
be required to be in court throughout
the proceedings, SO that if again re
manded they could not go into hiding.
The men were remanded all right, but
subsequently Judge Morrow granted
attorney McEnerney' SIN otion for admis-
sion to bail pending the hearing of a
writ of habeas corpus before the Fed

were set at liberty.

and magazines have taken up. Are

it says, to this conclusion by the Stats

and women in trusted positions where
fer and inappropriate. A good many
other journals reach the same con-
clusion.
We conclude that the fact is as stat
ed by the statisticians. But does that
amount to proof of the claim? Fewer
women in places of trust violate con-
fidence, but it is not conclusive that
therefore women are less honest than
men when placed in like environment
for the same time. Men are more
tempted and the burdens and RESPONSE
bilities upon them are greater, and
hence the showing. We rejoice that it
is true as yet that fewer women steal,
but is it not because there still re-
mains SO much of the sheitering care
of man over woman. and because she
has not wholly cast off the bond that
binds her to him in trustful and low
ing dependence? Is 1t not due to the
fact that women have not yet been suf-
ficiently long in business employment
to become wholly insensibe to the ma
tive modesty that makes them shrink
from the unclean?
But how long, or rather, how short
a time will it be before the bloom OF

AN UNWARRANTED CONCLUSION

Chief Crowley of the San Francisco po-
lice department tells the San Francisco
Bulletin" that he does not believe the
enforced, and he adds that the same
kind of law in Sacramento is a dead
letter. The Chiefs expression is that
with 300 street-cars in San Francisco
his force cannot watch them all to ar
rest those who soil the car floors; that
with a thousand miles of sidewalks his
force cannot apprehend offenders who
spew filth upon the sidewalks. His
will prove ineffective and be inopera-
tive.
This Is a most lame and impotent
conclusion. The law is not dead let
ter in Sacramento. The posting of
notices of the law and the knowledge
among the people that offenders are
liable to arrest has had a wonderful eff
feet for good. The walkways are great
~ cleaner than ever before. It is a
common thing now to see men all along
our streets step to the curb to expec-
torate where before they used the side
walks as spittoons. In front of hotels
and saloons where before the sidewalks
were often filthy and terribly often
siye and covered with tobacco charged
spittle, they are now kept clean and
neat. So the law is not a dead letter
On Sacramento.
Chief Crowley ought to know that
the law is enforced in New York, where
the population is far more dense than
In San Francisco. There, as may be
true here, the conductors warn offend
ers, and If they persist they call in an
officer. If Chief Crowley notifies the
people of his intention to enforce the
law they will obey it. If he gives them
no understand that he thinks 1t a dead
letter, they Will so treat it. 1t will only
need that one or two arrests be made
TO put the law into full effectiveness.
And by the way, no officer upon whom
at is incumbent to support a law is
warranted in expressing the opinion, in
advance of any attempt to enforce it,
that II will become dead letter. We
have had too much of this sort OF
Business. In this city we have had
repeated examples Of officers judging a
law and declaring that it could be
enforced. and then resting on their oars

come less and less sensible to those
moral obligations that now bear so
naturally and firmly upon her con-
science. We are of the firm belief that
the present proof of the mate honesty
of women, as compared with the mani
festations of the untrustworthiness of
men, is due to the simple fact that the
environment of woman has saved her
from the operation of circumstances
and influences that have tended to
make men relatively more dishonest
than women. But this wall of safe
guard, unhappily, is rapidly breaking
down and women are clambering over
and dashing into fields where they will
be as certainly contaminated in the
whirl of the multitude as would be
their snowy garments if trailed in the
mire of the street

1t will be seen that if there was
fraudulent gain anywhere, it was In the
Democratic States. But the truth is
that no State cast it's full vote last
November 1t is true that no State
ever does cast it's full vote, and there
are excellent reasons for it. The stat
isticians who make these matters a
study say that the vote in 1896 should
have been over 100000, so that we
were actually 100000 short of the
actual voting strength of the country.
But the Populists hold that 5000
votes, by one claim, and 10000 by an
other, judiciously distributed, would
have changed the result, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Mckinley received
something like GOO, 900 majority of the
entire popular vote. Suppose that to
be true, what of it? Happily for the
nation we do not elect Presidents by
popular vote, but by voting sovereign
ties which the fathers wisely resolved
upon as the safe method in a Govern
ment Such as TINS. But by the logic OF
the Populists 600 votes changed and
distributed would in 1884 have elected
Blaine and defeated Cleveland; and
800 in 1884 would have defeated Har-
rison and elected Cleveland; in 1874 a
change and distribution of 1900 votes
would have elected Henry Clay and

The murderer who, at dead of night,
creepS, stealthily out to bury the dead and
fnangled body of his victim inspires men
with horror and dread. There is murderer
abroad who yearly Stays One-sixth of all the
human race who go down to untsauely deaths.
This dread monster is called Consumption
The approach of consumption is slow and
insidious. First there is a slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nour;shing properties of the food are not
properly assimilated The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
placed by new. The lung tissues are not
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead In this condition they offer a good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them.
This operation is promptly reversed by
DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t
invigorates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect. It builds up
and purfes the blood. It makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old inert mat
ter which it causes to be carried of. It
drives out all disease germs. Thousands of
cases given up as hopeless have been cured.

A POPULISTIC BUGABOO.

Some Of the Populist organs and their
sympathizers continue to repeat the
silly libel that President Mckinley was
elected by fraud. The charge is based
on the statement that the vote was in
excess of what it should have been ac-
cording to the natural laws Of increase.
Thus they charge that $4,000 votes in
Ohio We're stuffed votes. because the
figures show, as the Populists claim
that the population of Ohio does not
warrant the vote cast. The conclusion
is therefore reached that all the ex-
cess OF vote went for Mr.. Mckinley,
therefore it was bought and paid for by
his supporters.
Assuming for arguments sake that
the charge of excess of vote is true,
IT does not seem to occur to these
snarleyows that the excess, or part of
it, might have been manipulated by
the opponents of Mr.. Mckinley. How
ever, a month or more ago the Rec
ord-Union" showed by analysis of the
official figures of population that Ohio
night have cast 10000 more votes than
she did and still have been below the
legitimate voting strength of the pop
ulation.
Since then Congressman Grosvenor
has had experts examine the Stats
tics with care and report the exact
facts. The result of the examination is
that there We're but four States in
which the vote for President was in
excess or the legal number of votes as
