RESTORING WAGE SCALE.

NJ ORE than fifteen thousand employees of the
United States Rubber Company, control
ling seventeen factories have received the pleas
ant news that their old scale of wages is to be
restored. During the depression the cut in wages
was from IS to IS per cent, but the officials of
the company declare that revival of business
Justhes the restoring OF the old scale
One thing about the depression is that ner-
manent lowering OF wages is not to be expected
after the revival. As soon as things brighten up.
wages increase. This is in accordance with the
scale Of living. There has been no great reduc-
ton in living expenses, and the pinch has come
all The harder upon working people because their
expenses have remained about the same, although
their wages have been reduced or men have been
thrown out of work entirely.
There IS no indication of a reduced cost of
living with the reviving of business The cost

DISCLOSE THE FACTS.

VA E PRESUME that the members of the
Kent County Levy Court have good and
sufficient reasons for Withholding for the time
being their report of the work of the investgat-
ing committee that was appointed to probe Ger
tain alleged irregularities.
Very often when it seems that a report should
be ready there are reasons that justify delay.
But the Kent commissioners should not exceed
proper time in their Investigations. If there
are any irregularities they should be disclosed,
and those implicated should be punished. We
do not believe that there will be any attempt to
cover up the tracks of anyone to keep the public
from knowing the facts in the cJse.
The matter concerns the public, and as the
court is the guardian Of the publics interests it
should move as swiftly as the circumstances war
rant.

J. G. Phelps Stokes proposes to become po-
litica Socialist, and not a "parlor" Socialist
He has been nominated for the New York Legis-
lature by the Socialists of the Eighth Assembly
district Of New York city, and his wife, Rose
Pastor Stokes, who is said to "know everyone in
the district" intends to aid him in his canvass
At the last election the Tammany candidate in
the district defeated the Socialist candidate by a
vote of 2oo6 to 1894, and although the handicap
is heavy, Mr.. Stokes friends are confident that
he will overcome it.

It is announced that some unsympathetic man
in Cleveland, Ohio, has invented electrical
typewriter, which is destined to put many of the
fair key punchers out of business. Some of them
in New York are said to be disturbed. There is
hope for them, however, in the further statement
that even the electrical machines will require
dainty feminine operators. 1t will be long time,
before any electrical device can be invented that
will do away with the operators of the writing
machines.

A writer in the New York World from the
Catskill mountain region calls halt on the sup
posed demand for city men as laborers on the
farms He says that the farmers in his region
have all the help they want; that the hours of
labor are from 4 o'clock in the morning until 9
o'clock at night and that the average city man
is unsuited for farm toll. Perhaps, when there is
so much talk about the transfer of city labor to
the country, it is well to hear a note from the
other side.
