An unusual state Of affairs exists in at
least one of the factories Of New Jersey.
There is more work 10 be done than some
Of the operatives want to do; that is, the
orders are so heavy that the factory IS
compelled 10 WORK overtime. For all over
time work, Of course, the operatives re-
ceive extra pay. ard in most establish
ments it IS customary to pay an increase
of from % to 80 per cent for all such
time. Usually the working people have
no objections to add. ng several dollars per
week to their income. But in this case
in New Jersey, ii seems, the law makes so
many hours a days work, and the opera
tiyes who are kicking DO not wish TO work
longer than the law specifies. A year or
two ago there wasn't any kicking because
of working overtime and receiving extra
pay. Then the kicking was because the
mills were working only about half time
and some of them were not working at
all. Il is awfully hard TO satisfy every
body

While in Samoa Robert Louis Stevenson
and his wife in a great measure did az
the Romans did; that is TO say, as the
Samoans did. says the Detroit Free Press.
It was Louis custom to lie abed of a
morning and spend the remainder Of the
time under tree on the hill, clad ia light
pajamas, the dress of the native Kanaka.
With his wife ii was the same; stays
were unknown to her, and a curling iron
a dim recollection of a shady past. Anent
their manner OF living, or existing, this
pleasing and heretofore unpublished an
ecdote of Stevenson is told by Albert Hey
wood. the present commercial agent of
the United States in the Hawaiian Isl
ands:
1t was while Stevenson and his wife We're
living at Apia, in Samoa, that Mr.. Hey
wood was appointed consul there for this
country.
Shortly after his arrival in the country
he arranged for reception TO the Eng
fish, German and American residents of
the community, that they might meet him
in his official capacity and he them as
citizens of Samoa"
OF course, an Invitation was sent Robert
Louis Stevenson and his wife. Two days
before the date of the function Mr.. Hey
wood was surprised to receive a note from
Mr.. Stevenson sent by courier. The note
read as follows:
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson and Rob
ert Louis Stevenson accept Consul Hey
woods invitation with pleasure, and as
sure him that they will be present on the
evening of the 23d, it. by that time, Mrs.
Stevenson finds her other shoe. Ever
thine, Robert Louis Stevenson

This is the time of the year when the
city man longs for and dreams of the
grateful smell of the freshly turned fur
rows and the singing of the birds in the
trees. But does the city man know that
that fragrance of the newly turned sod is
nothing more nor less than millions of lit
tie microbes drawn into the nose, and
that what we call the music of the birds
is only the mechanical process of sound
waves beating against the drums of our
ears? The scientists tell us these things.
They have even got to the point where
they can make a correct diagram of the
love-throb of a fond heart that is filed
with joy at meeting with its Idol, or
measure precisely the depth of emotion
that is felt at the unexpected arrival of
a mother-in-law for seasons visit. These
scientific fellows are taking about all of
the poetry and romance out of life and
making it a dessicated, kiln-drled, steril-
lied reality.

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF MUST GO.

Trusts may give the protective tariff its
death blow. The belief has been strong
ever since the growth of trusts began 10
ture would have to be eliminated from the
tariff in order to protect the people against
trusts II is undoubte ally the purpose of
some trusts to rob Inc people by raising
prices beyond a point that would yield
a reasonable profit. 1t is certain that
about all the trusts will raise prices as
high as they can without inviting com
petition. A case in point has just been
noticed in Boston. The elevated road OF
thar city wanted 300 tons of steel guard
rails for use in its new structure. Gen.
Bancroft, the general manager of the road,
made a special effort TO place the order
for the rails with some American firm
but failed to do so at what was considered
a fair price, All the manufacturers OF this
class of rails are in a combination, which
has put up the price of rails until it is
far above what it was a short time ago.
Competition has been eliminated, and the
price demanded by the trust had to be
paid if American rails were used.
Gen. Bancroft, however decided that he
wouldn't be robbed by trust, and there
fore he placed his order with an English
firm. After paying a high protective tar
if he found that he had saved 80 per cent.
over the price demanded by the trust.
If this is fair sample of the methods
of trusts, ii is not TO be wondered at that
there Is an outcry throughout the entire
land against them. 1t Is a fact that steel
rails cannot be made in England profit
ably al a lower cost than they can be
made in this country. AS a matter of fact,
American manufacturers of steel rails
have recently underbid the steel rail man.
ufacturers of England 1t can be readily
seen, therefore, that an enormous profit
was demanded for rails like those which
the general manager of the Boston Elevat-
ed Road purchased in England.
When Congress meets there will be
very general demand for the repeal of the
protective feature of the tariff. If Con-
gress refuses to comply with the demand
it will be understood that the Republican
party is the defender and protector of
trusts. If IL does comply with the de-
mand that party will be put in the posi-
ton of abandoning the protective tariff
system.
The war on trusts is becoming fercer.
The people are alarmed at the prospect OF
becoming the slaves of few great bust
ness and Industrial combinations. Their
alarm wouldn't be so great if it were GER
tain that the only purpose of the trusts
was to cut down expenses, but evidences
are multiplying that their aim is to in
crease prices enormously. A bill is
pending in the legislature of Texas to pro-
hibit the company which owns the ma
chine for making the round cotton bale
from doing business in that state, on the
ground that the company is a monopoly,
and in our dispatches yesterday there was
an account of the action taken by the
Wholesale Grocers' Association of New
Orleans against trusts. State legislatures
are moving against trusts. and Congress
will have to move against them, or the
people will know the reason why.

TROUBLE THREATENED IN CUBA.

We shall be fortunate if we succeed in
establishing peace and restoring prosper
ity in Cuba without trouble with the Gu
bans The majority of our volunteer Of
ficers who, after service in Cuba, have
expressed opinions for publication since
their return home, have said that the Gu
bans are an ungrateful people, and that
they felt no gratitude whatever to us
for relieving their country from the yoke
of Spain.
If the Cubans act decently they will
have government. The Congress of
the United States has promised 1t to them,
and there isn't the remotest probability
that it will fail to keep faith with them.
But if they act in bad faith, if they COM
pei us to use force to accomplish what we
have in view, it is pretty safe to say that
Cuban independence will not be realized
for many year, if az all

and we shah be the judges as to when it
is done. Would 1t not have been a wiser
plan to have offered the Cuban soldiers
nothing? The proposition to pay them
that amount has led the Cuban generals
to believe apparently that if they threaten
to make trouble a great deal more than
that sum win be forthcoming.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Raleigh IN. c. News and Observer
(Dem) says: The career of Roswell P.
Flower shows that this country is one of
opportunity with a capital o. In 1858 he
received salary of $50 per month as as
sistant postmaster at Watertown, N. Y,
before which he had been a teamster in a
brickyard at $3.50 per week. In 1899 he
was many times a millionaire His success
came by early saving part of what he
made and fine business ability
The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
THE proposition to hold a reunion of the
veterans of the North and South at ST
Louis or some other convenient city is
worthy of favorable consideration. A
great fraternal gathering of the old SOL
diers of the blue and the gray would be
a fitting sequel TO the demonstration of
sincere patriotism and loyalty which have
prevailed throughout all sections of the
country since the beginning of the trouble
with SPAIN"
The New York World Dem.) says:
what has Admiral Dewey done since he
destroyed the Spanish fleet that on his re-
turn, weary with arduous service, he
must be hauled to banquets innumerable,
bombarded with speeches to which he must
listen without yawning, and forced to
ruin whatever is left of his digestion by
untimely wining and dining? Cannot an
advanced civilization invent some less bar
barrie device than that of a public dinner
as a means of testifying its admiration?
Must it always make victim of the man
il desires to honor?''
The New York Commercial Advertiser
(Rep) says: There are two objections
TO Mr.. Carnegies age limit of 60 as the
best time for philanthropic money getters
to stop acquisition. There will be no
agreement as 10 when old age begins or
as to what amount of money is enough.
Still more perplexing would be an accept
able definition of the surplus wealth"
which Mr. Carnegie mentions to the utter
undoing of his scheme. Indeed. his advice
could only apply 10 the relatively small
circle of millionaires, and then you would
have TO narrow that circle by picking out
the philanthropists."
