If Wages Had to Compete With For- gn Labor. ‘Judge Baldwin in his Norwich speech lamented the loss of American shipping, and. of course, laid it to bad republican laws. This is really too bad.

On the recount several more ballots were thrown out and 350 were clared that 59 were clearly ilegal, the rejection of -these ballots leaving 139 for Quintard and 152 for Toomey. Judge Williams, ‘it is understood, was liberal in his interpretation of the legality of the ballots, retaining many where the cross was not exactly in the circle opposite the candidate's name, taking the stand that the voter had clearly indicated his choice.

An important part of the injustice and wretchedness of the carth is due to the absence in government and So- ciety of these qualities. They have been. upheld by religion for mors than 1900 yvears.

New York, Nov. +—Ghairman Hup- puch of the democratic state commit- tee tomight made his first public an- swer to republican charges that he and John A..Dix, the democratic can- didate for governor, showed incon- sistency in - asking the congressional ways and means committee to increase the tariff on wall paper. Mr. Huppuch merely quoted part of the testimony given before the ways and means committee at the #uriff hearing by & Mr. Lindsay of M. H. Birge & Sons, wall paper dealers, of Buffalo. Mr. Lindsay told the committee that many raw materials so far as the manufacture of wall paper was con- cerned, bore a higher rate of duty than finished wall paper. The argument of the manufacturers was that the tariff |on the raw material and the finished product should, be equalized. That, said Mr. Huppuch, expressed the po- sition of the wall paper men in & nut- shell. CHICAGO POLICE RESERVES ' PREVENT SERIOUS RIOTING Thousands of Striking Garment Work- ers Parade Factory Districts. Chicago, Nov. 4—Led by a throng of women singing the “Marseillaise” several thousand striking garment workers paraded through the north side factory district late today. The marchers visited each of the open shops in this section of the city, and shouted derisively at non-union work- ers and strike breakers. But for Chief Steward’s precaution in holding a large force of policemen il reserve at various stations, it is probable that Serious rioting would have occurred. -As soon as the large procession of strikers formed, the po- lice reserves were hurried to the north side and_throughout the march_the strikers were watched - closely. Sev- eral attempts at disorder were quickly . quelled by the patrolmen, who made a number of arrests. A Chinese Hero. At Loping Hslen is a statue draped in full dress of a mandarin (the pu ting or police master) named Chin, who gave his life for the people. Am exile who was in the camp at Jao- chow and who owed the hsien (district magistrate) a grudge, rode a black horse to Loping and, having killed the hsien, got back for the Jaochow roll call next morning. As the murderer could not be found orders came from the capital that a large number of the people should be killed. To prevent this slaughter of fnnocent folk the pu ting, a good old man, said he stabbed the hsien after a few words over the wine cups, and he was consequently beheaded. No resident of the distriet would deal the tatal blow, but an itin- erant cobbler or bamiboo worker did it for a reward of 40 taels. Tradition adds that he was struck dead by light- ning after leaving the execution ground. ~—Chinese Mercury. Sameness of Opinion. “T suppose,” said the young man with the soiled collar and baggy trou- sers as he sat down beside a stranger on one of the park benches, “you would not take me for a member of a million~ afre’s family, would you?” “No,” amswered the stranger after sizing him up; “frankly speaking, T wouldn't.” “Neither would the millionaire,” re- Joined the young man sadly. “I asked him last night”—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
