\ ,‘-- ‘-.l ' l NORWMGAZW 'z'ruth above all'tlungs.’ ’ _#__.._._—- FRIDAY. NDYEMBquM. 132:3; LEntered in the Post-Chico as a,Newspiaper.] A Big Reduction In Wages. The sheet-steel and sheet iron: manu- facturers of Pittsburg have arin'ounced a cut of ten per cent, in all. their millsi which employ seventeen thousand workers. It will be remembered, says thevNorwich Bulletin, that in June, 1892, when times were good and the 'puddlers were making $9 a day, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers struck at Homestead and created a furore among the labor- . rs of this country which proved to be one of the factors in the defeat of the republican party in the fall, the demo- cratic politicians claiming that a change ment an increase in the buying power of money and better wages for the working classes. The purchasing power of money has increased, but the work- ingmen have no money to take ad- vantage of. this fulfilled premise, be. cause shut-down mills and dull trade have impoverished labor as well as lowered the value of goods. The resisted schedule of ’92 was ac- cepted and the mills run till June ’93 when there was another cut; and now there is another as the result of “the changed. times” and the uncertain prospects. The workmen who made such a stubborn fight in good times now recognize that there has been a change which makes resistance impossible, and they have sent a conference committee to meet the manufacturers at Youngs- town, Pa., and accept the new schedule which reduces the puddlers to $4.75 a day. . - Recognizing the folly of the strikes which have marked the past twenty years the association is trying to make an agreement upon a perpetual scale of reductions and increases to be enforced after three month’s notice, the mills running in the meantime, thus avoid- ing the annual shut-down and troubles of the past. The outlook for the business is so poor that this step is necessary. One large mill has worked up its orders and shut down for the winter throwing 1,200 men out of work. Other mills may have to do the same. 0.. Peace Pres‘ervers.

What Connection Has it With the Present Generation? 1 The celebrated Bridge“ of Sighs has alwaysbeen looked upon" as the acme .of sufferin0 and misery. With what a feeling of horror we think of the then- sands of victims who have crossed It” never to return. But there is another bridge, almost as old as the World itself, and which is as prolific of suli'ering to- day as in the early ages. There is a bridge connecting health and, disease which has caused more sighs in the his- tory of the world than any Structure built by the hand of man. It is a sub- ject for universal sadness when we think how many are daily crossing this bridge. Can we return, or must we leave the sunlight of health forever be- hind us? This is indeed a fearfully important question. This query inter- ests us as it interested a yOung lady of our acquaintance named Miss Jessie McVey, who resides in Irvington, Ind- “I had always been rather robust and well,” she said, " until the last two or three years, when it so happened that I overtaxed my strength: in trying to do too much work. I had a spell of nervous prostration and was so weak all the time 1 could scarcely getaround. . “I have also been troubled with rheumatism more or less for 'a long time, which grew worse after my nerves became weak. Of a morn.ngI would feel more tired than when I went to bed, and on going upstairs I would give clear out by the time I rear bed the top, and my heart would flutter and feel as though it was up in my tnroat. “ My head also troubled me a great deal. My face would flush up in a mo- ment and my eyes wmml burn and hurt and my head \i'nnlel iCl‘I us ihough it would bill‘sl; at ilii: sum: time my feet and burnt- its cold. I has also l-ltlllblfiil .. Lin oainrrli fol-several years. _.\:lll\l mies; yet the lessons of history cannot be ignored. These lessons teach that our only possible, if not probable, foe under any conditions likely to arise is Great Britain. The heel—of the English Achilles is his merchant marine. His ships not only fetch from all ends of the earth the numberless raw materials which supply his factories and workshops, bpt they bring to him also the bulk of his meat and bread. At no time in fifty years has British soil raised enough of cereals or of cattle to feed the people, and in the last thirty years the gap between local supply and need has widened un- til at this time nearly 80 per- cent. .of the food supply of Britain reaches her shores in the holds of ships. Hence any decisive blow to the ocean-carrying trade of England means not only stag- nation of her industries but starvation of her people. Not long ago, in a parliamentary de- bate on the naval estimates, Lord George Hamilton stated that at no time did Britain at large have on hand more than ninety days’ full food supply. Of course, under such conditions, the pri- mary policy of England is to maintain a naval ' pssufficient to sweep the ocean. of any, ”all hostile comers. The'day' of convoys passed away when. sails gave place to steam. Now the whole road must be kept clear. Of the ability of the British navy to effect this there has never been a doubt until last Saturday, says the Philadelphia Times, because she possessed a greater number of‘more powerful and faster ships than any oth- er power not only, but also than any probable coalition of powers against her. But now she has no fighting ship that 'can catch the ,Columbia and no mer- chant ship that can escape her. Even the monster cruisers, Powerful and Terrible, just authorized, are designed to have a maximum speed of only 22 knots on contractor’s trial, with forced draught, and a sustained sea speed of. 20 knots under natural draught, which leaves them under the maximum con- dition at least a knot an hour behind the columbia. 0n the other hand, her fastest merchantmen, the Campania and Lucania, at their best sustained speed, would be overhauled by the Columbia at the rate of about three- quarters of a knot an hour. With the Minneapolis com'mg on in a few months, whose speed, Mr. Cramp says, Will certainly equal, if not ex- ceed, the Columbia’ . The United States will by next sp ing have in com- mission two ships capable of command- ing the ocean, so far as commerce is concerned. This fact is- a permanent insurance policy of peace upon which the cost of the shipsamounts to an in. finitesimal premium. It would pay to at least double the 'force.’ of commerce destroyers. Four such ships weald more than double the. moral efi'ect .. of the exrsting two, because the increase of such effect is highly progressive in ratio of the distribution of itsweapons, and Congress .will do well, to lose no time in prov1ding for more Columbine. ' “I got medicine from several doctors, but it seemed as tliough'it helped me some at the first, but in a little while I would feel as bad. it not worse than ever. I began to be discouraged when- I saw an advertisementgof ,how Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem- edy helped others who were'worse off than I was, and I concluded to give it a trial. Before taking hall‘s bottle I began to feel better. I did not feel so tired and nervous. My head felt better and my appetite improved. I have taken- three bottles and_..-keep on improving. I think this wonderful medicine cannot be praised highly enough, for it makes the weak strong and the old feel youugagain.” Thanks to this remarkable medicine, they who have strayed from the paths of health and started to cross that peril- ous bridge leading to fatal disease, may return to the bright sunlight of a happy life; free from the sighs and sor- rows of suffering. .

Her Propelling Gear Was Crippled and She Was Being Towed by a Tug—Believed That a Chance Shot Did the Work—Mono Hemmcd in.- WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-—The navy de- partment is in receipt of a cipher cable message from Admiral Picking at Rio Janeiro conveying intelligence of the sink- ing of the insurgents’ warships Javary by the battery of the fort at N ictheroy. The entire crew of the vessel went down with , the ship. ' Nictheroy is a suburb of Rio. ' " The sinking occurred on the 22 inst. . The Javary, although previously disa- bled, has been of great service to Admiral Mello, because of her heavy armor and guns. . 4 She was designed for a speed of 11.2 knots, but it is understood that, owing to the disablement of. her machinéry, it. was necessary to tow her about the harbor with a. tug. Probably a. Chance. Shot. I In this way she was used effectively as a floating battery, but of course it was difficult for her to so manoeuvre as to es- cape severe punishment at times from the heavy Krupp guns in the loyal forts. From the meagre statement of fact con- tained in the cablegram, it is supposed that her sinking was the result of an acci- dental shot, probably a shell, finding its way through a weak spot and bursting in the interior, rather than as the outcome of a severe and prolonged attack on her. Minister Mendonca Speaks. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Brazilian Minis- ter Mendonca, who is now in this city, spoke as follows concerning the sinking of the monitor J avary. ’ “Its importance lies in the fact that the Javary was the second best vessel in the posscsion of Mello. It was next to the Aquidaban, and on it Were the heaviest guns in the Brazilian navy. The sunken monitor was of 3,000 tons displacement. Her guns could carry nine miles distance. She has been doing most of the destruc- tion in the city of Nictheroy, and well merits her fate. She had done damage to the extent of millions. Like the Aqui- da ban, she, too, had been crippled. “By a dispatch to the London Times from Rio, dated on Nov. 17, it was stated that the heaviest gun at San Joan had been dismounted. It was also said that Mello’s forces had captured Fort Luge. "If the heaviest gun of Fortress San Joan has been dismantled it is evident that the smaller ones have been suffi- cient to send to the bottom a. vessel second only the Aquidabau and carrying heavier guns than, the latter. ”Fort Lage is a small barbette fortress It is a . account of its central position. . Could Not Run the Forts. shows that eVen the Aquidaban will not be safe should she attempt to leave Rio harbor by running betWeeu the forts. She, would have to pass almost directly beneath Fort Santa Cruz and though her deck is a sloping one, like most modern men-of-war, it is not protected as are ,her sides. A terrific rain of projectiles could be hurled down upon her. . “Besides the guns in the‘fort’s barbettes there are mortars and eVen dynamite could be brought into play. Though not a military expert, I do not think that, with the crippled condition of her ma- chinery, she could successfully run the forts. She could pass all but the Santa Cruz, but Would be sunk by the latter. Brazil‘s Treasury Not Empty. "in regard to the statement in a.
