The strike in the New England
cotton mills has developed the fact
that the average wages paid before
the reduction was Sc week for a
grown man. The theory of the
manufacturers that they cannot con-
tinue to pay the established wage
scale and compete with the southern
mills is also given the black eye by
the fact that they but recently de-
clared a dividend Of 10 per cent.

The Topeka correspondent OF
the Kansas City Times asserts
that a call may be expected
any day for an extra session of the
legislature. Since Senator Young
has shown very conclusively that but
for Governor Leedy an Iowa maxi
mum rate law would have been
passed before adjournment il is
said that the governor fears the re.
sponsibility of refusing to call an
extra session. Already Republican
papers are charging his inaction in
this regard to railroad influence.

prosecutor guilty of malicious pros
ecution. They stayed out all night,
and in the morning stood 10 to . for
malicious prosecution, and being
unable to agree upon that question,
rendered verdict Of mot guilty and
were discharged" OF course it
would have been a greater misfor-
tune if Judge Mckay had been
mulcted for the costs in this case,
but it is bad enough at best. You
see, the Judges reputation for truth
and veracity was at stake, and he
lost, ANONYMOUSLY and absolutely, it
seems. The trouble arose ever some
statements Judge Mckay had made
affecting the official integrity Of Mr..
Hamilton. Mr.. Hamilton published
an article in the county paper brand
ing SAID statements as false. Becom-
ing man of dignity the little Judge
sought vindication by having Ham,
iton arrested for criminal libel.
The case at issue was then clearly
drawn-did Judge Mckay lie or did
he tell the truth2 In the light Of the
evidence it seems the jury thought
he "fbbed," and a safe majority
were quite sure that he did it malic>
iously. Now the little matter OF
Il, 200 costs would have been to a
man like Judge Mckay a mere bag
atelle compared with losing his rep>
utation for truth and veracity.
HE who steals my purse steals trash
But he who fiches from me my good name
Steals that which not enriches him,
But makes me poor indeed"
This blow comes too, when the
little judge was least prepared for it,
and gives him costly lesson in dis
erection. He was very DESTROYS Of
appearing spotless before the people
in order that his advice against
Jerry Simpson might be needed.
His hatred of Jerry is kindred to !
that of a rat-terfier dog toward an
elephant. Again, he comes up
before the people for endorsement
again this fall-another milestone
in his judicial journey is to be
passed, and he Graves a continuation
Of his commission-but alas, alacka-
day!

votes of members Of the Ohio legis-
lature.
II Hanna should be victorious, his
victory will not prove creditable to
the Republican party. 1t will have
been brought about by most Objec-
tiOnable methods-the exercise of
factiOnal administration influence in
the politics OF a sovereign state, a
similar exercise OF which in New York
lost that state to the Republican,
and resulted ia the election of Mr..
Cleveland to the presidency in 1884.
1t is likely that President Mckinley
will rejoice greatly should Hanna win
in the fight now reaching its climax
in Ohio. 1t is also likely that such
victory for Hanna and Mckinley will
prove exceedingly costly to the Re-
publican party. The Hanna incubus
is Of such strangling weight that it
cannot much longer be borne, and the
Ohio revolt Is probably but the be-
ginning of Republican expression OF
sentiment to this effect.

an inland Phoenician city, or at the
least a city whose inhabitants were of
a race which practiced PhOenician
customs and worshiped the Phoenician
deities. Beyond this all is conjecture.
How it happened that a trading town,
protected by vast Notifications and
adorned with temples dedicated to the
worship of the gods of the Sidonians-
or, rather trading towns for Zimbabwe
is only one of a group of ruins-were
built by civilized men in the heart of
Africa, perhaps we shall never learn,
though the discovery of their burying
places might throw some light upon
the problem.
Meanwhile there is ample room for
speculation, both as to the dim begin
nings Of the ancient city and its still
DINNER end, whereof we can guess
only that hordes of invading savages
stamped il out of existence beneath
their blood-stained feet, as in after
generations they stamped out the en-
romantic sketch the writer has ven
tured to suggest incidents such as
might have accompanied this first ex-
tinctiOn OF the Phoenician Zimbabwe.
The pursuit indeed. is one in which he
can only hope to fill the place of

in years to come the dead fortress
temples of South Africa will occupy
the pens of many generations OF the

may have more ascertained facts to
build upon than are available today
