WAGES AT HOME AND ABROAD.

In London paper lately an Ameri.
can manufacturer had an article stating
that tie Welsh miners were better paid,
better fed and better housed than the
miners in tie coal and iron regions of
the Uni ed States. And the American
"Wool and Cotton Reporter" gives a
careful technical comparison of the
wages paid weavers in the American
and the English cotton mills, and the
conclusion is that
On plain work the American weaver
runs more looms, works more hours,
gets little more money at the end oi
the week, but weaves more yards OF
cloth for less per yard than the English
weaver. On other classes OF goods he
runs more looms and weaves less cloth
per loom for about the same amount ol
weekly wages that the English weaver
receives. On the higher class OF fanciet
the English weaver is decidedly better
of than the American weaver, tor he
runs less looms, r,ceiyes more per yard
and little more Il, his weekly wages.

Heroes who feared neither gun nor gale,
Bold in the fiery fray

Cheers for them all, but three times three
For the last of our fighting linel
What did the valiant commodore do1
Swift at the peal of war
He sailed the Orient sea drift through
For the isle Core gidor;
Ran the forts with laugh of scorn
At the dreadful Spanish mine,
And lay in the bay at the burst of morn
The last of our fighting line!
Olympia, Boston and Baltimore
A gallant squadron they!
And they shelled the ships and they shelled
the shore,
And they sileneed Cavite;
And while the shot went hurting by,
With deadly whir and whine,
He watched from the bridge with kindling
eye
The last Of our fighting line!
Shattered and sunk and beached and burned
Woe for the ships of Spain!
Never prov to be homeward turned
Over the restless mainl
A glorious victory! What of the cost2
Lo, not single signl
For not a man of the fleet was lost
By the last of our fighting line!

A SURGEONS PROTEST.
Major Seaman Objected to Bringing of
More Sick on Board the Trans
port OLDHAM.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 3.--Surgeon
Major Seaman of the transport OLDHAM
declares that there will be a repetition
of the awful horrors that have charac.
terized the voyage home of the other
transports if more sick soldiers are sent
on board the vessel for transportation to
New York. He says that when the
Obdam left Porto Rico many ON board
were sick, yet the first quartermaster
refused to furnish wine for their use,
but supplied them with hardtack and
canned food, saying that he had no au.
thority to do more. Surgeon Seaman
said he would hold him responsible
should any deaths occur, and finally
succeeded in obtaining suitable food for
those who were i'll. He asserts that the
ship has every man that it can carry.
Hearing that a number of other sick
soldiers were to be sent aboard here,
the surgeon major made a protest and
stated that he was informed by Gen.
eral Lawton that his protest showed
lack of discipline, and that an officer
had been appointed to see how many
additional men the OLDHAM could carry.
Surgeon Seaman says he will cable
to Surgeon General Sternberg a protest
disclaiming responsibility for whatever
may happen.

sumo proportions, Congressman Tay-
lor starts in here this week. Just what
Mr.. Taylor will present we cannot now
say. 1t is not so difficult to indicate
what he will not say. He will not ar.
raign and condemn Algerism. He will
not speak of the foolishness of the
Presidential commission to investigate
the outrageous army management; a
commission that has not even the power
to swear their witnesses. Mr.. Taylor
may claim great prosperity, but will not
speak of the low price of lard and of
wheat and cotton. In Iced what Mr..
Taylor will not tell will be considerable
No doubt many will listen to Mr.. Taylor
who will vote for Major Weybrecht,
knowing that Mr.. Taylor has had two
terms and has not cut much of figure.
Mr.. Taylor ought to know that the
Republican party is loaded down with

defeat. The Democrats will in all prob.

New York papers are referring to
Roosevel's political blunders, among
which are:
"He bunde' ed terrifcally in making
his administration of the police depart
ment so unjust, oppressive and hateful
that the very name OF reform became
odious to the voters of New York-as
the elections of 1895 and 1897 showed.
"He DluDdered egregiously when, in
his eagerness to secure the machine
nomination for Governor, he went in
person and made his obeisance to Plstt
the Boss.
HE blundered inexcusably when be
declined the independent domination
for Governor, at Platt's behest, after
having promised to accept it.
"He b.undered in giving out in an in.
terview, never disclaimed, the promise
that 'it elected Governor would, on all
matters of importance, consult Senator
Patt, as leader of the party
'He blundered fatally in evading the
payment of his just taxes in three diff
ferent places of residence
"He blundered in framing or accept
ing a platform that CLOSES the canal
scandal, evades the issues raised by the
press-gag bill, and seeks to cover state
iniquities with the blue bandsnna of the
Rough Riders"

There was more stock gambling last
year than in 1869, go that the Legitimate
business was three times greater in 1869.
Is it not time that we, as people,
were getting away from ialsity and re-
turning to truth and truthful ways? Is
It not high time to quit serving the
mammon of unrighteousness? The
Democracy at Chicago two years ago
cut loose from the vutures of mammon
and proclaimed truth, justice and the
constitution. The Jeffersonian Demo.
cracy inaugurated this century with a
new era of reform, and this same Jefier-
sonian party still lives and will be
triumphant two years hence and start q
new era of reform with the twentieth
century.

False and unfulflled promises are not

that promised "prosperity."

The lying as to prosperity is to be
pushed. The god organs are now tell.
ing about the advance in wages owing
to business improvement, although in
the very same paper perhaps there are
accounts of strikes, reductions in wages
and labor troubles in Illinois and else,
where. The lying these servile organs
can do beats old Nick.
Quite lately there were II great
strikes in the Industrial centers Of this
country all on account Of wages, and
mostly on account of reduction in
wages, which were already at starvation
rates.
In the great woodworking town OF
Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a strike continued

An inquiry developed the fact that
skilled workmen who used to get $3.50 q

laborers but 80 cents day.

prosperity. The total clearances Of al
