Editor Independent. Mr.. w. J..
Client is certainly a socialist and like
all the rest of them he is SO narrow
that he fools himself. Mr.. Lucien
Saniel, who in 1897 wrote the so
cialist Almanac stated that the mid
die class had enormously increased,
and then attempted to prove that the
decrease" was in quality and that
the quantity would surely disappear
in time.

1900 (2,3e6, 149 out of total OF 4,41O,-

The above are the facts both as TO
percentage and actual numbers,
If we reckon all the merchants,
both retail and wholesale, we find that
they increased in almost the same ra-
ito as the population.
Mr.. Client mentions uraymen, ETC.,
as increasing by 40 per cent If Mr..
Client will investigate he will find
that very large part Of this increase
is in draymen who arc not proletar-
ians at all, but who own drays, teams,
etc. Stenographers arc cited as in
creasing 236 per cent. This Is true,
but manifestly unfair, for the simple
reason that. rs per cent Of the stenog-
raphers are the daughters of middle
class families, $4,000 being females
and 10000 males.
The manufacturing plants increased
40 per cent from 1880 to 1890 and AL
from 1890 to 1900. almost double the
increase in population.
The total number Of active firm
members and proprietors In 1900 being
708, 623. The total increase in the
number Of wageworkers employed in
these plants increased rs per cent
from 1890 to 1900.
If | wished to be unfair | might
quote the census to show that there
were 10000 less men working in the
coOperage plants in 1900 than in 1890.
Or I might show that carpenters and
joiners numbered 5S4,63o in 1900 and
Gil 1882 in 1890; plasterers, 1900, 49,
694; 1890, $4,000: brick and 'iie-mak-
ers, in 1900, 1888, in 1890, 60,214, and
boot and shoemakers and repairers,
20S, 912 in 1900, and PASS in 1890.
When it comes to the middle. class
stockholders in railroads, "Poor's
Manual states that there are over L.
100000. In 13 manufacturing trust
companies there are $4,000 stock
holders not counting the workers in
the United States companies who own
stock. If | wished | could pick out
such industries as electrical construc-
ton, ginning cotton. etc., and show
enormous gains for tbs middle class.
Another point that the socialists are
either ignorant of or ignore is the
rapidly growing middle class who
have retired from professional mer-
camille, or manufacturing industries.
In Massachusetts alone there are al
most $4,000 Of these.
Whoever darcs to disagree with the
fanatical red flaggers Is always set
down as fool or worse. According to

TRADE CONDITIONS.
NIiIder Weather Has Brought More
 Activity In Business.

MiIder Weather Has Brought More
 Activity I'm Business.
 NEW YORK, March 12.-R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade says:
 More seasonable weather has brought increased activity in business, normal conditions existing for the first time this year at many points, and there is evidence of an effort to recover lost ground and prepare for large spring trade. Collections are also improving, and structural operations revive with the higher temperature, stimulating the markets for building materials and increasing real estate transfers. There has been great damage from floods, al though the severe winter had caused unusual preparation for troubles of this nature.
 Manufacturing returns are favorable as to steel and footwear, but textile mills are not active, and further cur taiiment of cotton spinning is prob- able. Settlement of several important labor controversies has been accom- panied by new strikes, and soft coal miners have not yet reached an agree ment with the operators.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for March amounted to $2, 2,542, 400, of which $1,O59,O77 were in manufacturing, $954, ,S66 in trading and $52S, 457 in other commercial lines. l Failures this week numbered 259 in the United States against 239 last year, and 25 in Canada compared with p a year ago. =

Eccentric Heiress Married High.

NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-Dr. J. J. Hanna of Victoria, Tex, cousin of the late Senator Hanna, met in New Orleans yesterday Miss Georgia Hou- ser, an heiress of Lincoln, H., who was an old friend of pr. Hanna. They agreed while out walking to get mar ried. They stood in front of the Hi bernia bank building fourteen stories high, and Miss Houser suggested that the ceremony be performed on the roof of the new bank building. A preacher was summoned, and they were married on the roof. J. J. Cannon, president of the Hibernia bank, and two friends witnessed the ceremony. The bride said she was tired of the conventional and acted on the inspiration of the moment while gazing at the building.

Martha c. brennan, a Fanatic, Miss
 ing Since November Last.
 SALEM, N. J., March 12.-The head less body of the woman found frozen in the ice close to the body of man in Delaware bay off Bay Side has been identified as that of Martha O.. brennan of 3937 Ridge avenue, Phila- delphia.
 The identification was made by Michael brennan, brother, and Mrs. M. Burns, an aunt of the dead woman. They described minutely the clothing worn by the woman at the time she disappeared. They also mentioned the ring and scapular found on the body.
 Michael brennan stated that his sis ter disappeared on Nov. 29 of last year. She was nineteen years old and some what of fanatic on religion. After her disappearance it was believed that she had either fallen or jumped into the Schuylkill river. The condition of the body indicated that it had been in the water for a long time. The severing of the head was caused, 1t is now believed, by the ice.
 Coroner Hall at first thought the wo- man had been murdered. The story of brennan and Mrs. Burns does away with this theory and removes all doubt as to how the woman met her death.

Executive Branch of Govern
 ment For Arrogant Conduct.
 WASHINGTON, March 12 - The house of representatives indulged it. self in nearly seven hours of expIana- ton, accusation and vituperative de nunciation and then ordered, with on ly two negative votes, an investigation of postal affairs so far as members of the house are concerned by special committee of seven members to be ap- pointed by the speaker, who likewise are to examine into the origin of the Bristow report so far as it concerns members of the house. The demand of the minority for a sweeping inves- tigation of every branch of the post office department was not granted. The test on this question came on vote which resulted IA to 125, a strict party vote.
 The climax of the day was reached when Representative William Alden Smith (Mich) condemned every execu- tive department of the government for it's arrogant treatment of the only b1anch of the government in direct touch with the people of the country, the house of representatives, and shouted out the nomination of Speaker Cannon for president of the United States. The house thundered it's ac- quiescence, members rose to their feet and fairly shrieked their assent, Dem ocrats waved whatever was in their hands, Republicans pounded their desks, and the packed galleries took up the enthusiasm and echoed the ap- plause When the speaker bent low over his desk and wielded his gavel vigorously for order his raps only served as an impetus for fresh out break of enthusiasm. Meanwhile MT. Smiths time ran out and when he en- deavored to continue, in opposition to the ruling of the speaker, he was urged on by the cries of members on both sides, but without avail.
 The parliamentary struggle between the Republicans and Democrats came late in the day. The recommendation of the committee that the Hay reso- lution lay on the table was brushed aside unanimously. The Democratic demand for full Investigation finally came to vote in the shape of an ap- peal from the decision of the chair and was defeated-144 to 125, a strict party vote A resolution for an inves- tigatione of the connection of members with the department, offered by Rep resentative Mccall (Mass.), then was agreed to, only Representative Lind (Dem., Minn) and Gillespie (Dem., Tex.) opposing it. .,'

 KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 12.- The United States auxiliary cruiser Maydower, with Admiral Dewey, Rear Admiral Taylor and Assistant Secre- tary of State Loomis on board, called at Santo Domingo on their return trip here.
 United States Minister Powell went on board the Mayfower to pay his re- spects to Admiral Dewey and his party and had arranged for a meeting be- tween the visiting Americans and President Morales and his cabinet For some unknown reason the officers from the Maydower did not land. Prep aradons had been made and troops had been brought together to give Ad- miral Dewey a befitting reception, and there was great disappointment in gov ernment circles and among the people when it was learned that there would be no official visit.
 It Is said that the troops of President Morales are being defeated all over the republic. Porto Plata is again in the possession of General Jiminez, and 1t is expected that the capital, santo Domin- go, will surrender soon.

 DENVER, March 12.-A petition for divorce filed in the district court of Big Horn county, Wyo., Jan. g, by Colonel William F. Cody ("Buffalo BilpD has just been made public.
 The complaint charges cruelty and alleges that on Dec. 26, 1900, Mrs. Cody attempted to poison the plaintiff. An other ground on which plaintiff asks a decree is that the marital relation has been intolerable to him by his wife's refusal to entertain his friends at his former home in North Platte, Neb.
 Mrs. Cody, who is in North Platte, denies her husbands charges and will contest the suit. Colonel and Mrs. Cody were married in St. Louis on March 6, 1866.
