Fire at the Grant County
ASVllIm.
CHICAGO, ILL.

Lancaster Teller: There was fire of
considerable consequence at the County
Insane Asylum on Monday morning.
1t started at about o'clock when the
sane and the insane We're soundly
sleeping The fire caught in the base
ment of the old wooden tower. A fire
was kept there in stove to keep water
pipes from freezing. A pipe une-
cessarily, Mr., Burris says, passed
through this place and while there a
fire had to be kept there in cold
weather. The fire is supposed to have
originated from this faulty arrange
ment, When the supports to one side
of the tower burned off it fell eastward
upon the machine shed and set it on fire.
1t was found impossible to save the
shed, and but little of its contents
We're saved. A new reaper and an old
one, two old discs, five plows, two
mowers, and broadcast seeder were
consumed-making about $500 loss on
machinery.

1t should be something Of corrective

The Roman government prided itself on

Rome as 1t is today.
Capital and labor we're highly Or
ganized. and labor was indefatigable
in its efforts to secure special privileges
for its guilds. There were benefit soci-
cites, burial societies and insurance so
cieties. The man In the street talked
then just as he tuIks now. He discuss
dates. he studied the political plat

public places. and he protested against
their DETACHMENT Of the scenery. 1t IL

The Great National Sham
Exposed.

Hudson True Republican: If there
was ever an exposure of protection in
all its villainy it is that brought out in
the investigation of the Lawrence
strike Many children just past four
teen were employed on wages varying
from 81 to s. a week. They were
working in the manufacture of wooden
goods, and out of more than hundred
who were examined only four had
undertaking of any kind and their
outer garments were made of cotton.
Many of the children of the mill hands
testified that they often went hungry.
Yet the goods manufactured at Law
renee are the most highly protected of
American goods. The employees ought
to be in the pink of prosperity 1t is to
secure good wages to this class of
employees that the American consumer
is taxed so heavily The Lawrence
exposures show what villainous sham
protection is.
