Their de- parture is being felt already, as the mins ers whose places they took when they first landed have left for other fields, thus leaving but few practical miners in this region, The Altoona Tribune is of the opinion that the reason so many banking insti tutions are victimized by trusted officials is to be found in the fact that in numer- ous instauces boards of directors are merely ornamental figure heads, never acquainting themselves with the actoal situation of the institution of which they are supposed to be overseers, and depending wholly for information upon the very man who is robbing them and their patrons. The public 18 no more surprised than the directors when the blow falls, but this is co excuse. That's it, exactly, banks are often used by those employed inside for personal specula tion and for personal ends. CENTR M'Kinloyism and Wages. In his speech at Toledo Major McKins ley assailed Grover Cleyeland’s Colum bus deliverance, which was a plea for the oldstime virtues of economy and frugality, He declared, did the major, that the purpose of protection was to make things dear. He said that the ob- ject of his bill was “not for people to buy goods at lower rates, bat to enable them to pay more for the same goods by rais- ing the r wages. Now, as it is known of all men that people are paying more for the goods they consume because of the taxes of the McKinley bill, it becomes decidedly pertinent to inquire whether they are enabled to pay this increased price by increased wages What bas been the partial effect upon wages of the McKinley tariff bill may be judged by the following compilation made by the Baltimore Sun from the news reports of the last few weeks, The reductiops are industries “protected” by stiff duties. Brooke Iron Company, Pennsylvania, wages reduced 7 per cent, 450 men on strike; Ellis & Lessig Steel and Iron Company, Pennsylvania, reduction 12} per cent, 700 men on strike; Pottstown Iron Company, Pennsylvania, reduction 7 per cent; Bethlehem Iron Company Pennsylvania, reduction 10 per cent; Pennsylvania Steel Company, Steelton, Pa, reduction 8 to 10 per cent; Home stead steel works, Carnegie, Phipps & Co., reduction 10 per cent; Otis Iron and Steel Company, Ohio, redaction 30 per cent, Chattanooga Steel Company, reduc- tion 10 per cent. The Lackawaona Coal Company bas reduced wages 20 cents a day; the Daquion coal mines in Iilinois 60 cents a too; the Leavenworth mines in Kansas, 11 per cent, Few indastries got so many favors in the McKinley tariff as the pottery in- dustry. Yet at Treaton, SN, J., certain classes of potters have had their wages reduced 22 per cent. The ribbon weav- ers at Paterson, in the same State, have suffered to the extent of 15 per cent. At a silk mill ia Conaecticut wages have been cut 25 per cent, and another redoe- tion is reported from the silk mill at Allentown, Pa. At Willimaatic, Coan., the hands strock successfully against a proposed redaction of $150 per week. Major McKinley said at Toledo his bill was “to enable people to pay more for the same goods by raising their wages” That they are paying more is certain. Jat what about the wages? McKinley is a gay deceiver, --———— Tue Chicago Columbia Exposition directory has decided to get rid of all the trouble and dispote which the lake-front portion of the site for the fair has be, gotten by abandoning it altogether and putting all the structures upon the Jack" son park site, in the southern part of the city, several miles from most of the rails road stations and hotels. There are no undiluted blessings, and the fame of the fair has prodaced an over supply in the labor market of the vast and windy city, thonsands of laborers skilled and unskill- ed, having gone there in expectation of work in connection with the prepara tions for the fair. A+ po plans have been decided upon as yet, and no work begun, many of these working men find themselves stranded and compelled to take any job they may meet, or resort to begging or stealing for a living. The consequence is that crime is rampant, thievery prevails to an alarming extent, and beggars crowd public resorts and ins fest doorways and alleys, A ——p It seems strange to read that the elec- tric light has been introduced into Jeru- salem. The electric plant is used in a large flour mill adjoining the supposed site of Calvary and close to the Damas- cus gate, Ifthe Arabs and Jews were filled with wonder by the flamiog gas jets in 1887, they are confounded when they see the light of electricity in 1801. Many of them are so alarmed they bard: ly dare to look at it, and the Mohammes dens call upon the Prophet for safely. They ask what it i», where it comes from and how the magicians make it. When told that it is the same thing as light. ning, they become still more mystified, ask how it can be caught or held, and keep at a respectfal distance from it. —— The number of retail liquor dealers in the United States, according to the of. ficial of the internal revenue for the year ending May 1, 1800, was 185.868, or 1 liquor dealer to every 275 inhabitants, on the basis of the census of 1880, Ia Now York there was 1 retail desler in distilled liquors to every 150 inhabitants in New Jersey 1 to 175; in Ohio, 1 to 230 in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, 1 to 400; in Indiana, 1 and Delaware, 1 to 160; and in California, 1 to 75.
