BOTH SIDES FIRM.
Cotton Strike No Nearer Settlement
Than When IL Beuan.

Fall River, Mass. Sept. 19.-The
peaceful but determined contest be-
tween s37,000,000 of invested mill
capital and $4,000 mill laborers which
began in this city eight weeks ago, is
apparently no nearer a settlement
than at its very outset last July. Both
sides remain firm, the mill owners
claiming that it is impossible to re-
sumo operations unless 12A per cent.
reduction is made N wages, while the
operatives are just as determined
against working under such condi-
uons- With winter not far distant the
unions have already begun to husband
their resources for the drain which
must then be more severe than during
the summer months.
The exodus of foreign operatives
has naturally been large and lately
many Of the skilled help have joined
the outgoing army seeking other
fields for their labor. OF the foreign
ers the Portuguese have left in larger
numbers. very few remaining in the
city. Within the last few days there
has been a persistent rumor of a re-
sumption OH october 3, but Friday the
weavers decided to hold a mass meet
ing on that day, which apparently
shows the report to be without foun-
dation as far as the operatives are

SCIENTISTS, CHEER UP.

Do scientists necessarily have to be
pesumistsf The present day scientist
seems soured ON the world and all that
10 in IL for there has been a lack of
cheer about his statements that has
not been equaled in years The latest
burst Of scientific knowledge gives out
the supposed fact that the shoes now
worn by civilized people are robbing
them of their toes by cramping them
and rendering them to all practical
purposes useless. Now it is hard for
man to be compelled to lose his toes
but another scientist Is promising that
everybody viii be insane in 200 years
Other men Of scientific proclivities pre-
dict that man is losing his sense of
smel and still others observe that
the American man is rapidly becoming
q toothless, baldheaded creature. An
other scientist painfully thrusts the
cold harpoon of facts into our bump of
beauty loving by declaring that the
grand old falls at Niagara VIII cease
70 exist in $500 years By the time we
have seen the exit of Niagara we will
perhaps be 50 feeble that we will not
be able to notice the miseries of the
toeless, hairless, tOothless, deaf and in
sane denizen of earth If would please
the world better if these scientists
would cheer up.

SAD NEWS FOR LONG IIvtRs.

Authorities on insanity have given
out some facts and figures that make
humanity feel about as joyful as the
preacher's son who was forced to sit IN
prayer meeting when he knew q circus
was In progress less than block away.
They say insanity is increasing. This
sssms hardly probable since even the
Democrats have heralded broadcast
that they have returned to q safe and
sane position, but nevertheless the
statistics prove the contrary. SAT
the present rate of the development of
insanity, according to the worlds sta
fistics, says Dr. james P. Lych, land
with present conditions of work and
living unaltered. halt of the civilized
world viii be more or less insane in
500 years from now. And in another
200 years from that time, under the
same conditions most of the Caucasian
race win be mentally deranged and
civilization wiped off the face of the
earth by the multitudes of Goths and
vAndals OF Asia" When the country
speaks out in favor of continuation of
the present administration the weight
now resting on many q Democratic
mind viii be relieved and matters may
brighten up some. It's hard to think
that In 100 years we'll be all insane.

Judge Parker is having hard work
TO complete his letter of acceptance.
II wzs stated by the Democratic
Leaders that the letter would be given
70 the public on September IL. This
date was set because the letter of Pres
idsnt Roosevelt being published ON
September 13 could be looked over by
the Judge and any argument found
therein that might tend to decrease
the Democratic vote could be answered
in his note of acceptance. There must
have been an item or two in the
Roosevelt letter that completely
stunned Judge Parker and his cohorts.
for he has ordered the statement made
that the letter can not now appear be-
fore September %. Several weeks ago
the statement was given out that Judge
Parker had completed his letter of ac-
ceptance but that he was only with
holding it from the public until Mr.
Roosevelt's letter could be read Some
radical changes mnst be going on in
the Democratic document. The party

The choice for second place is so aged

greatest friction at party headquarters
and Judge Parker has been implored

in starting the campaign machinery

the following uncensored dispatch:
The situation throughout Italy is
most serious. At Rome the council of
ministers has called out two classes
of reserves In order to reinforce the
authorities. Premier Giolitti has post
poned a journey to Racconigi which
he had intended to make for the pur-
pose Of extending his personal con-
gratulations on the birth of the crown
prince. At Porto Novo crowds of peo-
pie stopped the railway trains, many
children lying down before the en-
gines.
The troops were powerless. One
person was killed and several badly
hurt In q collision with the soldiers at

the departure of trains. Railway

the desire Of the workingmen that In
tervention of the troops in peaceful
conflicts between capital and labor be
avoided. Sig. Giolitti Immediately re-
piled by telegraph that for three yearl
as minister of the interior he has con-
stantly supported the principle OF abb
solute liberty of workingmen to inter-
vene, adding that he intended to fol-
low the same principle while he re-
mains in power. The minister con-
tinued: THE painful facts are to be
regretted by all, that In one case SOL
diers used their arms in self-defense
after being attacked and wounded
and in another instance acted without
orders from their superiors. There
fore, these soldiers have been put al
the disposal of the judicial authorities
while an inquiry is going on to ascer-

Sig. Giolitti's dispatch ended as fol.

shall remain always within the law
but shall perform my duty and make
the law respected by all. l therefore
hope the socialists will recommend

violence, compromising the cause OF
