TEN PER CENT INCREASE.
New Scale for Iowa Miners Practically
Completed.

Des Moines, March 27.-Tne joint
conference of the coal miners and op-
orators for Iowa district No 10 have
practically completed their labors. The
new scale, which will go into effect
on April I, provides for an increase
of 10 per cent in all departments.
Miners will receive 80 and IS cents
and $1.05 on the lump ton basis, in.
stead of IS, 80 and IS cents. The con-
ference has been in session for four
weeks and the work is regarded as sat-
isfactory to all concerned. The only
difference yet to be adjusted is the
price to be fixed for the sale of coal.
The operators desire to increase the
price 25 cents a ton, while the miners
want it increased only 20 cents.

Some Aspiring Municipalities Are So
Small as to Be Ridiculous.
The recently completed census OF
the United States reveals some singu-
lar facts relative to the towns and
cities that compose the nation at
large. There are quite a number Of
so-called "cities" which are so ridic-
ulously small in population as to
make it a matter of wonder and
amazement that they are really cities.
The populations of few such cities
may be given as illustrations. The
city of Johnson, Kan, has popula-
ton of only fifteen and the population
of the city of Coronado, in the same
state, is even less, being only ten.
There are several cities in Kansas
which have very diminutive popula-
tions, as follows: Bird So; Brainerd,
20; Ford, 80; Freeport, SO; Horace,
90; Hugoton, 81 Richfield, 81; Trib-
une, So; Ulysses, 40. The city of ST.
loan Springs, Mo-, has population Of
SO. The city of Brigantine, N j., has
a population of SO, but, small as is the
population of that city, it is nearly
five times as large as that of the city
of Lavallette, in the same state, which
has a population of only 81. The
city which exceeds all the others in
the diminutiveness of it's population
is the city of Rainy Lake, Mimi,
which has population of only 7.

Mr.. Gladstone had told the house of

A PLEA FOR PAUPERS.
Democratic Journals Opinion of the
Glass Trust.

Unless glass-making has changed
materially within few years the in
dustry is carried on chiefly by chill
dren, and the only wel-paid workers
engaged are few foreigners imported
for the purpose OF directing opera
lions.
Glass is protected by the Dingley bill
at tariff rates ranging all the way from
rs per cent to 100 per cent 1t is
strictly q. pauper industry-one which
is supported by public taxation as
truly as any poorhouse or insane asy-
lum. The men who have become
wealthy by means of it owe all that
they have to unjust laws and not a
farthing to their own industry and
sagacity.
Fifty years ago no self-respecting
American would accept fortune COM
ing in this way. To-day there are
plenty of men who not only are glad to
become public charges but who are
not ashamed to stand forth in oppo-
sition to a humane movement in favor
of preserving to American childhood
some of the blessings which belong
to it.
Hardly Sunday passes in this town
that some eminent clergyman does not
guardedly inveigh against the greed
of the age-a greed which stops at
nothing. Where will these gentlemen
find finer example of the base pas
sion which they thus characterize than
in the contemplate little group of
American glass manufacturers who
doubling their prices under the robber
tariff, hypocritically pretent to dignity
and ennoble American labor by en-
ploying little children for long hours
at small wages? H
To be effective preaching must be
explicit 1t must be illustrated. 1t
must cite examples. The glass manu-
facturers of Illinois are the most i'm
pudent coterie of tariff plunderers,
wage trimmers and child oppressors
of whom the Chronicle has any knowl-
edge. Every dollar that they have is
