Getting On.
It is the‘solemn judgment of the New
York Times that the country can stand
ten years more of the McKinley tarifi‘
better than i t can endure twelve months
of the silver purchasing law. ~ .
This is a candid confession to make.
There was a time when the McKinley
tariff was held up as the essence ofall
cconomic'evil. Free trade papers like
the New York Times attributed to it
every industrial and agricultural ill
which befell the country. The Only
hope for the people was said to be in
the immediate repeal of the offensive
statutes. '
Times have changed since then. The
Democratic party has assumed power,
and even at this early date we look
upon the spectacle of the most rabid
free trade organs admitting that the
country can stand ten years more of
the McKinley tariff better than it can
endure the Sherman act. v»-
'No one underestimates the import-
ance of repealing the Sherman act.
Least of all does the Republican party,
upon which the President must rely
for the votes to secure repeal, fail to
recognize the necessity for prompt ac-
tion in this line. But this does not
alter the fact that what the Times
meant to say was, that the experience
of the last six or eight months demon-
strated the fact that the country could
endure ten years more of the McKin-
ley act better than it could endure
twelve months of free trade.
In that form the proposition would
have been in‘dorsed by thousands of
voters. But we are getting on. When
papers like our New York contempor-
ary are willing to admit that there can
be any financial or economic evil worse
than protection it is. evident that their
eyes are being opened.

Looking to the Future.
The employes of the Orange, (N. J .,)
Traction Company who requested that
their own wages'be reduced have long
heads and took a' very prudent peep
into the future. 3The action of these
men is so novel that it will interest both
wage-workers and employers - in all
parts of the country. Owing to the
closing down of the Orange hat fac-
tories the business of the traction com-
pany practically came to a standstill.
By the provisions of the "company’s
charter it was compelled to run a cer-
tain number of cars, and-there was no
way to meet the loss of income with-
out reducing the pay of its employee,
and this the officers disliked to do. ' 7
The employes of the road became. ac-
quainted with the state of affairs, and, ~
after consultation among themselves ap-
pointed a committee to wait on,the
railway officials with a request that a
certain reduction be made in ' their
wages and that the rate be continued
until the hat factories re sumed business
and the road secured its normal amount
of traffic. The officials of the road
were somewhat astounded by the, novel
request, but were glad to avail them-
selves of the generous offer. At ‘the
same time, however,--they ”took ortasion
to assure'the men that the old f rates
would be restored just as soon, as busi-
ness resumed, and that just as soon‘as
the receipts of the corporation justified.
it the pay of the men’ would be increas-
ed toafigure in advance of the rate
that was cut.
1t is perfectly safe to predict that as
long as this spirit obtains there- will be
no difficulty between the Orange Trac-
tion Company and its employee. The
action in this case was in pleasing con-
trast to-“arbitration” conducted by the "
walking delegates, and if there was '
only more of this spirit manifested -in
the settlement of controversies between
employers and employes there would be
much less hardship on both sides.
Possibly the example set by the Orange
railroad employes Will inark a new era
in the field of labor.
Growth of street Railroads.
When the present mature generation
was born there wasn’t such a thing as a
streetcar known anywhere in the world.
In the short period of one generation,
from nothing the business of transport-
ing passengers comparatively short dis-
tances has grown until the number
transported in 1890 Was four times as.
great as the number of, passengers trans-
ported by the‘ entire system of steam
railroads in the United States. '
That is to say, in the year of 189.0 the
steam railroads with over 157,750 miles
of track moved 472,171,343 against 2,-
023,010,202 passengers carried on the 5,-
783 miles of street railroad, operated in
the United States in that year. These
are figures furnished by the United
States census bureau and are accepted
as authentic.
The same authority estimates the cost
of the 5,783 miles of street railway op:
erated in 1890 at $389, 333, 000. The miles
age of street railways in 1880 was but
2,050 miles. In ten years this mileage
was increased 182 per cent.,and the bu-
reau shows that of this 182 per cent,
which amounts to 3,033 miles,all but 888
miles was built within the five years
preceding 1890.
The process of building street rail-
roads which in 1890 had gained great
momentum, has continued through the
last three years so that it is estimated
that the total mileage of street rail-
ways throughout the United States now
amounts to nearly 10,000.
This great impetus to railroad build-
ing is probably due to the application
of electricity as a motive power, mak-
ing street railroads in small country
towns and through rural districts emi—
nently practical where less than ten
years ago they were impossible. In
the census year 1890 the earnings of
the street railroads amounted to $91,
721,844, a gigantic sum when one stops
to reflect that it'was all made up, or
nearly all, a nickel at a time.
The bureau names the expense of
- operating in 1890 at $87,388,006,'leaving
a surplus for dividends of $4,333,838.
In a computation of the‘average num-
ber of rides to each one of the inhabi-
tants it is found that New York city
leads the list with 297, Kansas city next
with 286, San Francisco third with 207,
Boston 225', Brooklyn 183, Chicago 164,
while Philadelphia, where more people
own their own'homes than in any other
city in the world, shows up with only
158. Evidently the people in the City
of Brotherly Love are saving their
money a nickel at a time to pay for
their homes. In Cincinnati the aver-
age number of rides to each inhabitant
is believed to be 186.

Railroad News.
At the annual meeting of the New

on October 18 an unpleasant predica-
ment must be disposed of. The char-
ter asserts that a majority of the direc-
tors must hall from Connecticut. As
long as Lucius Tuttlo remained vice.
president the Connecticut directors re-
mained in a. majority of one, but since
his removal to Boston the terms of the
charter have not been lived up to.
Worse still is the fact that according to
the agreement with the Old Colony
three directors from that line, presum-
ably from- Massachusetts, must be .elect-
ed This necessitates at least three
new directors from Connecticut or a
curtailing of the New York directors,

cratic and the committee was compara-
tively poor and asked that a collection

penses of the caucus. A couple of hats
of the vintage of ’92 were passed around

Julian Jordan Concert Co.
A large audience greeted the Julian
Jordan Concert Company at the Opera
House Tuesday night. It may have
been an appreciative audience but it
was not ademonstr ative one. The con-
cert was one of the best ever given in
Norwalk, every number on the program
being filled by artists of unusual ability.
The concert opened with the “Song of
the Troubadour,” and it was grand. The
duett. “Forever and Aye,” by Miss
Marco and Mr. Jordan, was splendidly
rendered. Miss Gavitt sang “The Night
I Waltzed My Heart Away” in a capti-
vating manner. A violin solo by Master
da Prato showed that he was possessed
of exceptiOnal talent. “The Gale,” an
original song, as sung by Mr. Jordan,
was greatly appreciated. The cornet
solo by E. A. Conterier captured the
audience. The piano playing of Miss
Mawson was highly commendable. Miss
Marco, the contralto‘, won the hearts of
all with her sweet singing, and the
whole affair was a pleasing success, and
a credit to the Alpha Wheel Club under
whose auspices it was given.

At a subsequent meeting of the
board of directors Mr. E. J. Hill was
elected president and treasurer, vice
Mr. J. D. Kimmey, resigned.
When a GAZETTE.reporter called at
the office this morning Mr. Hill was
busily eggaged at the President’s desk,
butdid not seem inclined to say any-
thing as to whether or not there would
be any changes made in the present
system of conducting the road. .
Certain it is Mr. Hill is a progressive,
go-ahead man and if he sees wherein
the service can be improved he will not
long hesitate in making such change.

ERIE’S WESTERN SYSTEM.
Decision Which May Break Up the
Througli' Line to Chicago.
NEW YORK, Sep. 27.——In the United
States circuit court Judge Lacombs denied
the motion of the New York, Pennsylva-
nia & Ohio railroad company to instruct
the receivers of the Erie company to pay
the full amount due them as rentals or
have it charged as a first lien against the
Erie company. In 1883 the line from Sal-
amanca, N. Y., to, Dayton, 0., was leased
by the Eric at a rental of 32 per cent on
its gross earnings. When the company
went into the hands of receivers it owed
$300,000, most of which was secured by
drafts payable in the fall. The Erie com-
pany subsequently paid $331,439,813 which
was greater than the net earnings of the
road for the same time and according to
the contract $240,000 would fall due in
August and $100,000 in September. Judge
Lacombe held that the receivers in their
appointment did not hold themselves bound
by the terms of the contract and the plain—
tiffs could if they wish enter into possession
of the leased road. He refused the motion
on these grounds.
GOVERNMENT VICTORIES.

fighting they fled. Pellegrini, his staff
and 1,500 infantry at oncemarched to the
building where the junta was sitting. All
the members were taken prisoners and
locked up under a strong military guard.
A smart fight took place off the coast
between the government squadron and the

The torpedo boats made the attack. The
whole government fleet bore down on
them, silenced and boarded them and
brought back all their crews as prisoners.
Several officers on both sides were killed.

basis. This is a reduction of 10 per cent.
but it is not fixed, being a sort of sliding
scale. For every advance of 1 1-10 in the
selling price of iron above the 1 1-2 selling
card rate, the finishers will receive an ad-
vance of 2 per cent. If the price advances
5-10 or 1-2 per cent the old scale rate will
be paid. The change will not apply to the
changes made at the June conference and
will not affect the puddlers in any way.

The St. Paul Belle Leaves Her Negro
Husband and Starts for New York.
ST. PAUL, Sep. 27. — The sensation
over the marriage of Miss Jennie Mehl,~
the daughter of the former proprietor of
the Hotel Ryan, was revived when it was
announced that the young lady had re-
solved to forsake James Robinson, her no-
gro husband. The girl has left for New
York with her parents. The family will
hereafter live in New Yank and Jennie will
be placed in a convent. She will, how-
ever, have to wait the usual three years
before she can secure a. legal separation
from Robinson.
CALI. ANARCHISTS rmors. ,
Vienna. Socialists Cast Serious Reflections
' on the Police.
VIENNA, Sep. 27.—At a socialist meet-
ing held in this city the speakers denounced
the anarchists as idiots.
They suggested that the “discovery” of
an anarchist conspiracy in Vienna was not
such a startling matter as the newapapers .
claimed it to be, and hinted that the
anarchists arrested here and at Bruenn
were in the pay of the police, whose object
was to use the excitement caused by the
a leged discovery of ll plot as a counter-
check to the socialist agitation for the ex-
tension of the franchise.

O’N ell for permanent chairman and Josiah-
Quincy for chairman of the committee,
on resolutions. The platform takes
strong ground for honest money and the
repeal of the Sherman act. The tariff
plank holds that the tariff is a closed
question, the people having decided in
1890-1892 the whole question, and calls
for the passing of a bill revising the sched-
ules in accordance with the verdict of the
people. ______ '«

What a Young Man Did. A l
A collegegraduate had [hardlyreceived ..
his diploma beforehp was compelled to 1 “
face poverty and family disgrace; His '
father, who had been reputed to be
wealthy. was an embezzler and atfugi? 3: '
tlve from jdstice. His mother and sisters
were entirely dependent upon his modest '
earnings in‘a broker’s office. ' ,
He had planned taking an advanced
coursie of professional study in architec-
ture. His ideal occupation had to be
abandoned. He was in love with a
charming girl, but ceased to visit her
since marriage was out of the question.
An opportunity for a year’s travel inEu-
rope at a friend’s; expense was given up.
Yan- after year he maintained a hard,
bitter struggle to make a living at un-
congenial employment for his mother _
and sisters, to support his father abroad
and to overcome prejudice caused bythe
family, disgrace. He became a'_ success-'
ful business man, but was prematurely
gray at 40. His life was haunted by the
ghosts of his youthful hopes. .
Such lives do not furnish material fog..-
exciting stories. They are dull and pro-
saic, but are nevertheless heroic. To
give up all that is dear to youth and to
be loyal to family obligations sometimée
is a. crowning triumph of unselfishness
Many Ministers Present. 7
Ear-Secretary Lincoln, while United
States minister to England, wished to
get into Westminster on the occasion of
a. special service there. Archdeacon Far-
rar had told Mr. Lincoln to go to the
east door of the cathedral to avoid the
crowd and to inform the usher that he A
Was the American minister, so that he
could be conducted at once to the arch-
deacon’s pew. When Mr. Lincoln sent
in his name and title,'the usher came
out and said, with surprise, “For gra-
cious’ sake, how many American minis-
ters are there?" It seems that several -
gentlemen of the cloth had each deftly
made his way into the church by inform-
ing the usher that he was an American
minister.—San Francisco Argonaut.
