Seven years ago the police department and the fire department each cost the city lees than one half the amount of laat year's expense.

The distribution of federal patronage is a most difficult~undertaking under the most auspicious circumstances but it 'J takes on an aggravated complication when Rhody Shiel begins writing cards to the newspapers, as he has done resi^* garding the appointment of a United

States district attorney in Missouri.

With a debt beyond the constitutional limit the city government last year spent nearly §30,000 more than its revenue. This does not include the $50,000 for the Normal school. It does include, however, a couple of thousand dollars for the Main street folly and thousands of dollars of useless expenditure in the police and fire departments.

There is a pronounced feeling of dis gust among Democrats who pay taxes and are jealous of the city's good government with the promise afforded by the nominations for councilmen by their party. A strong ticket, put in the field by any party this year, will receive the votes of many men who are ready to break party ties in city politics.

Cincinnati is crying for natural gas and the Commercial Gazetts says it can be obtained from Indiana fields within sixty miles of the city. Evansville also wants it, and insists that it can be obtained at a less distance—downward Indianapolis presents the paradox of a natural gas company making an assign ment. Altogether, natural gas is not to be considered a universal benefit. Enterprise and business sagacity on the part of any city can easily offset the advantages, temporary or not, of any locality favored with the natural fuel.

The New York centennial committee having made public a list of descendents of the Washington family authentic information is now forthcoming to the effect that the committee has overlooked many of the descendents. In some parts of Virginia there are families whose whole object in life is to constantly make known their claim to direct descent from Washington. One family has Bold

Washington relics to the government and mortgaged inherited land to be able to maintain that degree of dignity without occupation or labor supposed to be incumbent on descendents of the immortal father of his country who", however, was never the father of any children to speak of. There are no descendents of George Washington and it was, no doubt, in ridicule of these alleged descendents that the Hon. Sam Cox recently remarked that he was a relative of President Harrison because the former's grandmother had declined a proposition of marriage made to her by President Harrison's grandfather.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Iienver Time: President Cleveland allowed the civil service commission to practically die. But the Democrats are Impatient and critical because President Harrison does not make tumultuous haste to resurrect It.

Philadelphia Press: Mayor Grant, of New York, adopting a maxim of the late General Grant, proposed to move Immediately upon the Western Union works. His movement Is as Irresistible as that of the author of the maxim. The rebels surrendered to the one and the poles are falling belore the other.

New York Tribune: it Is an extraordinary and hoieful sign—this promptness of the American people In applying a remedy when they are once convinced thnt the evil exists. Still another state Is wheeling Into line for ballot reform. The Micneso house has passed a bill based upon the Australian system by a majority so overwhelming a» to foreshadow its certain enactment. Is the Umpire state to be last in the reform march.

THE WORLD OF TRADE AND LABOR.

NEW Yojik, April 19.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Most of the indications usually considered of value point to a genuine improvement in business, and rather in volumes of transactions than in profits. Crop prospects brighten steadily. Lower prices result in largely increased exports. Money abundant, the treasury is pouring out freely, and there are no signs of pressure from abroad. Railroad earnings are increasing and payments through banks yet failures in some important branches of trade are numerous. Collections are generally slower than usuaL The iron and leather interests are embarrassed by productions largely exceeding the pres ent demand.

At Kansas City wet weather has affected trade and collections, and at Pittsburg the slow movement and weakness in prices of iron and steel products, glass and coal, affect business generally, but at Cleveland more inquiry for iron ore is reported, and abetter feeling is manifest. The wool market is waiting, the old supply is nearly exhausted anc new wool not being, as yet, available in any quantity, prices are mostly nominal, but average for 101 grades and qualities nearly one-half cent lower. The classification of worsted goods as woolens by the appraiser at Philadelphia, has been endorsed by the board of appraisers, but has had no effect on the markets as yet. The ^direct influence of depression in the iron and steel business is large, but it has still greater moral influence because of the current impression that the price or consumption of pig iron affords a reliable barometer of the genial condition of business. It is evident that this impression must be modified in some measure in times like these, when the con sumption for rails has declined enor mously. A Chicago publication of

mileage of all roads projected fails to stimulate iron man facturers, who are well aware how many concerns are in the market to purchase rails with bonds, not otherwise marketable. But when the quantity of iron made into rails is deducted, the remaining consumption, for all purposes, this year, exceeds that of last year by not far from four hundred thousand tons per quarter, which is surely not a discouraging symptom. Prices are low, however.

The over-production of leather does not appear to be caused by any sudden shrinkage in the demand of finished products, since the shipments of boots and shoes are larger than in any previous years. But the depression in'price, which has now continued Bince 1880, and reached 33 per cent., is unprecedented as to duration, and,the excess of production undoubtedly begins to embarrass many firms.

The cotton manufacturer is progressing fairly with a consumption a little larger than in any previous year, with print cloths strong at 3.75 cents for 64a Copper has fallen £3% London during the last week, and the projects for future control of the markets do not yet materialize. Tin has also declined to 20.87 cents, but lead is strong at 3.C7 cents.

Wheat is but a shade lower, and corn a little higher than a week ago. The rapid approach of another harvest, with an untold surplus in excess of all probable demands, which

Beem

likely to be not far

from 40,000,000 July first, is a sufficient cause of depression in wheal. The gen eral average of prices is a shade lower than a week ago. Exports of merchandise improve, and for two weeks of April have been 20% per cent, larger than last year,

The business failures number 246, as against 239 last week, and 222 the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 195.

PITTSBURG, Pa., April 19.—The Iron and Steel manufacturers' association, which heretofore met each year, with a committee from the Amalgamated asso ciation and settled the wages scale, is no longer the powerful organization it once was. In fact it barely exists, and there is only a faint possibility that it may show signs of life at the coming meeting in June. Joseph D. Weeks who is the secretary of the association, said to-day: "The organization has practically dissolved. A. E. Keating was the resident. Last year he declared would have nothing more to do with the concern, and he has kept his word. Other manufacturers have also held aloof and no meetings have been held. The manufacturers' cause at the next convention will not be made much weaker by this state of affairs, because it is down now about as low as it can get. The old organization may pick up courage enough to appoint a committee to meet the iron workers when the time arrives, but so far the members have not intimated that they will do so." A manufacturer, when questioned on the subject, intimated that the collapse of the association would aid the iron workers at the coming scale convention, as every man could act independently. The mill proprietors would be glad to get some excuse for a temporary shut down. By this apathy, they expect to bring about a reduction of wages.

CHICAGO, April 19.—Superintendent Britton,of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, said to-day that the threatened trouble between the employees growing Out of the life and accident assurance plan which the company has been seeking to put into general operation among its men had been amicably settled. He added: "There has been no real trouble, but some of the men seemed to think they had grievances, and accordingly the company has agreed that none of the employees need sign for the insurance benefit papers unless they are so disposed. The paper is still being circulated among the employees and the readiness with which they sign is proof conclusive to my mind that the dissatisfaction never did amount to anything in particular."

The journeymen butchers of St. Louis have organized. The planing-mill employes of Buffalo have organized a union.

Chicago coopers have withdrawn from the K. of L. and joined the National union.

Hungarians are abandoning the Lehigh valley and returning to their native land.

The movement to organize a National union of glass-house workers is progressing.

Cigarmakers' union No. 144, New York, has three cases in court against dealers who have used counterfeit labels.

The Laborers' Protective union of Jersey City, N. J., has engaged a physician, with a yearly salary, to attend sick members.

Manufacturers of butchers' supplies held a meeting at Chicago on the 17th inst,forthe purpose of organizing a trust.

Southern stove manufacturers met at Chattanooga, Tenn., on the 17th inst., and raised the price of cheap cooking stoves.

The New York Union Printer reports a large number of small strikes in that city and Brooklyn among the various trades.

It is reported from Dubuque, Iowa, that the employee of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul in that city are preparing to strike against a proposed reduction in their wages.

Indianapolis News: The early-closing association, which had excellent success last season in getting business houses to close at 6 o'clock on four evening each week, is keeping up its struggle for shorter hours, steadily.

President Gompers, of the American federation of labor, says that the attempt to enforce the short working day next year does not mean a general strike, for every effort is to be made to bring about an amicable settlement in regard to it.

Anew prison labor bill has at last been reported for action in the New York legislature. The labor organizations desire that prisoners shall be kept at work, but object to the system of hiring them to contractors and employing them in competition with free labor.

It is reported that the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel workers will ask that the iron mills be closed during two months in the summer, as the glass factories are. The workers claim that it will give them a needed rest and the employers an opportunity to make repairs. "The eight-hour rule," says the New York Tribune, "will doubtless come eventually, though it must be remem bered that the process of shrinkage in the length of the working day, which has gone very far in the last fifty years, must end somewhere. The argument in which the movement seems to find its chief support is that, if the length of the working day is cut down one-fifth, the number of those who can be employed will be increased one fifth. Probably not many of those who are influenced by such assertions stop to reflect that the reduction in the amount of labor a work ingman would do would be inevitably followed, at least for a considerable period, by a reduction in the amount of money he would receive. Not even the authority of the national government over its own employes has been able to arrest the operation of this natural law."

The Fourth of July, labor day, and Washington's birthday of next year have been set apart by tae American federation of labor

Buch

the dates for the hold

ing of mass-meetings in the interest of the eight-hour movement. The movement is to culminate May 1,1890, on which day a general demand will be made for a working day of eight hours. A noteworthy feature of the present movement toward an eight-hour day is the apparent desire on the part of the men who are conducting it to avoid every appearance of sensationalism or violence. There is to be no sudden change by strike no industry is to be menaced no harm done to property or commerce ho threats are to be employed. The measure is to effected by grad ual change of public sentiment and the voluntary ana deliberate decision of both employers and employed that it will be to their common interest.

Indianapolis News: The railroad shops inaugurated the Saturday half-holiday last week. This was done for the purpose of reducing expenses without discharging any of the employes. This fairly illustrates the advantages of the short hour system. But for this action of the roads quite a number of mechanics, with families to support, would have been laid off until an increase of traffic necessitated their employment again, As it it, all the employes will suffer a slight reduction in their monthly wages, but none will be forced into idleness. With the eight-hour system generally in vogue, there would be few idle mechanics and laborers in the country. While cost of production would be increased by

a course, wages would be more

generally distributed, and instead of the idle being a charge upon the employed, all would become producers and consumers. Surely the advantage to business men, to say nothing of moral bene fits, should warrant a thorough trial of the eight-hour system.

High License and Criminals.

A Philadelphia detective says that one remarkable effect of the high-license law has been to free the city almost wholly from professional burglars, thieves and other criminals. "These people," he says, "always associate together, and when their resorts and haunts were broken up they cleared out. There is no place for them to go, no place of rendezvous, and accordingly they have gone to other places where saloons and all-night dives such as they frequent are permitted to flourish." New York City, with its ten or twelve thousand saloons, probably gets Phikcdelphia's' former quota of crooks."—[New York Tribune.

A Bell of Genuine Metal.

J. Lowrie Bell, the new superintendent of the railway mail service, has not gone into the service of the government to make money. He was earning as a railway expert about twenty thousand dollars a year, and received $5,000 as a fee for his advice and work in one railway case just before he was asked to take his present office. His salary as superintendent of the mail service is $4,000 a year. He iB a personal friend of Postmaster General Wanamaker.—[New York World.

Eliiha Was Made That Way.

When Elisha Lacey was a boy he was a very hard bat, he was always doing something to incur. the displeasure of the old man, in fact he was so bad that his father did not know what to do with him. So he locked him in a room in which there was nothing but a Bible, a dollar and an apple, to see what he would do. If he found him reading the Bible he would make a preacher out of him if he was eating the apple he was to make a farmer out of him, but if he had taken the dollar he was to be bred up as a broker. When the father entered the room he found Elisha sitting on the Bible eating an apple, with the dollar in his pocket. He immediately sent him to the district school, where he mastered the fourth reader, and spelling book and ciphered through the double rule of three, and at last received the reward of the position he long had sought, and mourned because he didn't find it sooner—Democratic representative from Sullivan, Vigo and Vermillion counties.—[Spence's Peoples Paper.

Today the statement is made that thirteen warrants have been issued and will soon be issued for thirteen persons, names withheld, for bribery and corruption.
