LABOR BIOTS-
A Philadelphia dispatch says that the situ
ation in the mill districts of Kensington and
Manayunk is growing serious. At night
there was another riot, more formidable than
the ones that have preceded it. The two dis
tricts are far apart. One i3 up the Delaware
river, and tho other up the Schuylkill. In
both are thousands of persons almost on
the verge of starvation. It has
been tho hardest winter experienced for
years. Those starving unemployed workmen
readily join in tho cry of tho strikers of the
Carpet mills, and are desperate. The long
strike of the weavers of Kensington began in
November.* A month later the m.mufactur
ers, finding that the strikers wore deterniined,
began to look around for non-union weavers,
and gradually got to work again. It is
against these ‘‘scabs” that all the fuss is
made.
“The main point of attack i* the earpofc
mill of Thomas Leodom & Cos., at Howard
and York streets. Tho two men against
whom the strikers vent their greatest hatred
are Walter Cameron and Morgan Stevens.
Both were formerly Knights of Labor,
but are now renegades, and have been
using their influence to bring weav
ers from Fall River, Lowell and
Providence. Five thousand men generally
collect about the Leetlom mill at short notice,
but no violence was attempted until two days
ago, when tho operatives were dismissed.
Last night Cameron alone came out, and was
escorted home by tho polico after a severo
struggle. Two departments of the mill
are affected" by the strike, and are
being operated by twenty hands. After
Cameron left the mill last night
and was assaulted by the strikers, these
twenty men and women decided to remain in
the building all night. Supper was accord
ingly furnished them by tho firm, and they
slept on cots. Their breakfast and dinner
wero also served in tho mill to-day. This
morning Cameron appeared in court against
eight rioters arrested last night, and they
were all held for trial.
“More trouble was anticipated to-night.and
every preparation was made for it. This af
ternoon tho chief of police issued a proclama
tion commanding the rioters to disperse, and
followed it up by sending 503 policemen to
surround the mill. They took possession of
Howard street, leading from tho mill to (Jam
cron’s house, a few squares away, and for
a time kept back tho immense mob that
choked every street in the neighborhood. To
ward 5 o’clock a party of men broke into
Howard street, and then like magic tho mob
assaulted the long lines of policemen. Then
followed a struggle in which tho policemen
charged the rioters with their clubs. Heads
were cut, and blood flowed freely. Two or
three times the assaults were repeated. Five
men wero arrested and sent off in
in a patrol wagon. At about
5 o'clock Cameron came out of tho mill es
corted by special policemen in rough clothes.
Amid je.rs and hoots and threats they pro
ceeded lor a short distance, whan tho police
men were taken for strikers and charged upon
by the police. Tho rioters took advantage of
tho break, and closed in on all sides. A fierce
struggle ensued, in which men were knocked
down and tramped upon in all directions.
The police finally fought their way out, and
landed Cameron in his home. Most of the
other‘scales’ did not dare t > come out, and
will remain in tho mill to-night. A renewal
of tho struggle is looked for.
“There was a liot at SchoftoM’s mill in
Manayunk to-day. This afternoon an im
mense crow ; gathered for an attack on the
‘scabs,’ but tho latter wore sent homo an
hour earlier than usual, and the trouble was
averted for the day.”

THE COMAGE OF SILVER.
Clevcluud’s Views ou the Silver 1 obtuse.
Shortly before his Inauguration President
elect Cleveland was written to by a number
of Democratic Congressmen concerning hi a
views on the suspension of eilver coinage.
The following is the reply addressed by Mr.
Cleveland to tho silver advocatoa in Cou
gresa:
“To the lion. A. J. Warner and others, mem
bers of tho Forty-oight.U Congress :
“Gentlemen : The lott<4* which I have
had tho honor to receive from you invites,
and, indeed, obliges mo to give expression to
some grnvi- public necessities, although in ad
vance of the moment when they wduld be
come th.‘ object), of my ulliciol core and
purdial lvsp nsibility. Your solicitude
that my judgment. shall have
been carefully and deliberately
formed is entirely just and \ accept the sug
gestion in the same friendly spirit in which it
has been made. It is also fully justified by
the nature of tho financial crisis which, un
der the operation of tho act- of Congress of
February :IS, 1678, is lmw close at hand. By
a compliance with tho requirement* of
that law all the vaults of tho Fcdeinl treas
ury have been and are heaped full
of silver coins which are now worth lo stliau
eighty-five jmu* cent, of the gold dollar pro
scribed as “th l unit of value” in scctlni It
of the act of February l“, 1673, and which,
with the silver certificates representing such
coin, are receivable l’or all public duea.
Being thus receivable, whilo also constantly
increasing in quantity at. t he rate of $”8,000,-
000 a year, it has followed, of necessity,
that the flow of gold into the treasury has
been steadily diminished. Silver and silver
certificates havo displace l and are now dis
placing gold, and the sum of gold in tho
Federal treasury now available for the pay
ment of she gold obligations of the United
States and tor the redemption of
the United ft tales notes called “gre.vi
bncks,” if mt already onaroachwl
upon, is perilously near swell encroachment.
These are facts which, an they do not admit
of difference of opinion, cull for no argument.
They have b eu forewarned to us iu the
official reports of every secretary of
tho treasury from I‘oS till now. They
are plainly affirmed in tho last Decem
ber report of the present secretary
of tho treasury 1 to tho Sp akor of tho
present. House of Repivs< id at ives. They ap
pear in tho official documents of thist'on
gross, and in tho roeoidscf the New York
clearing-house, of which tho trcn uiy is a
member, and through whi h tin* bulk of the
receipts and payments of tho Federal gov
ernment and of the country past*.
These being tho facta oi our present condi
tion, tmr danger and our daily t avert that
danger would Hoorn* to be pi a hi. 1 hope thut
you concur with m3 and wi li the great ma
jority of our fellow-citizens in deeming it
most desirable at tlie present juncture to
I viintnin and continue) in mho the mass of our
gold coin as well as the mass of silver already
coinod This is possible by a urosejit suspen
sion ol the purclinsi and euiimye of silver,
lam not, aware that by any other method
ti is nossible. It is ol' momentous importance
to prevent, the two metals from parting com
pany; to prevent tho increasing displacement
oi gold by the increasing coinage of silver;
to prevent the disuse of gold in the custom
houses of th * Fniiol Stales in the daily bud*
neis of th * people; to prevent the tillimato
ex Jill don of gold by silver. Such ft financial
era;is as ifis events would certainly precipi
tate weri it now to follow upon so
long a period of coinmeroial depression,
would involve the people of every city and
every State in the union in n prolonged and
disastrous trouble. The revival of business
enterprise and prosperity so ardent ly desired
and apparently no n .ar would be hopelessly
post p ued. Gold would be withdrawn to ,ts
hoarding p'a‘e* and uu unprecedented c.ni
traetion in the actual volume of our currency
would speedily take ]*lnce. Saddest of all. in
every workshop,mill, I'c dairy, s'or ■*, on every
railroad and lann, Hie
ready depresHOii, would suffer still further
depro :.ion by a sealing (1 wii of the pun bas
ing iiower of every so-called dollar paid into
the hand of toil. From lh#*so impending ca
lamities it is surely a most patriotic and
grat' ful duty of the representative:* of tho
people to deliver them. lam, gentlemen,
with sincere respect, your fellow-citizen,
Giiuvkr Cleveland.
Tim Monroe Doctrine.
Whilo Mr. Monroe was President, tho
greatest of the contests took place by
which tho countries of (Spanish America
gained their independence. Americans
rugardod those struggles for liberty with
intense interest and sympathy. Our
statesmen, und among them Mr. Mon
toe, saw in the suooess of tho revolutions
the emancipation of America from Euro
peun control.
Out of this idea came tho "Monroe
Doctrine,” which was announc' and in ono
of tho President's messages The doc
trine, in its original form, vs that tho
United Btaloa would not willingly per
mit European influence or i .Hropi-an in
stititulions to be established in America
where they did not already exist.
It lias since been extended so as
to mean not only that this country can
not permit any part of the continent to
bo protected by any European power, or
the object of European intrigue, but
that, if any foreign influence is admitted
by any government of North or South
America, it must he the influence of an
other American government, and in no
case that of a European power.
Tho doctrine means “America for tlio
Americans,” and also that the United
States ought to assume all duties of pro
lection, arid give all guarantees of in
dependence which ativ American coun
try may need.— Youth h Companion.

An M. P. at a Type Case.
It is refeted of the second Mr. Walter,
(f the London Tiim-n, tnat in tho spring
of 1853, shortly after his return to Par
liament as member for Berkshire, he
was at the Timex office one day when an
express arrived from Paris, bringing tlio
speech of the King of the French on tho
opening of the Chambers. The express
arrived at 10 a. m., after tiie day a im
pression of the paper hail been published
and the editors and compositors had left
tlio office. It was important that the
M|ieccli should be published at once, and
Mr. Walter immediately s> t to work
upon it. He first tiansluted tbe doc
ument; then, assisted by one compos
itor, lie took his place at the type cast
and set it it]). To the amazement of
ono of tho staff who dr-.; pad in about
noon, ho "found .Mr. Waiter, AI. P. f'*r
Berks, working in hi,->s!iirt-.- leeves.” The
speech was set and printed, and tiie
second edition was in the- city by one
o’clock. Had he not "turne 1 to” as he
did the whole expense of tiie express
service would have been lost. And it is
probablo that there was not another
taau in the whole eßtabU-hmei.t who
could have performed the double cork

that day executed with his own iu;*d

Discipline in Ihe Chinese Army.
Tho Shanghai correspondent of the
London und Chinn Tclrr/raph, writing
by last mail, tlnci reports: "i am told
that the garrison of tho Woosung forts
is to be rein forced by four thousand men,
who will march for their post in a day
or two. A few Chinese soldiers passed
through tho settlement to-day in full
panoply of war—that is, all of them had
umbrellas opened out to keep their
jackets dry, an they marched in the rain.
Homo of them liad rifloii on their shoul
ders in any way but tho right ono, nioro
of them had flags with which to scare
the French. They were most of them
fine fellows,but lacked the vory essentials
of making thorn formidable against an
enemy, although they will no doubt
prove formidable to tho peasantry in tho
neighborhood of their camp. The lack
of discipline is a fruitful cause of trou
ble iu tho Chinese army; oiiicersnre un
fit for their positions and unable to con
trol tho men under them by gentle
means, but they aro willing to use harsh
ones. Flogging is <piito common iu the
Chinese camp, and there appears to lie
no limit to tho number of strokes an
jfTonder may receive; for any infraction
:A tho rules of propriety any number of
strokes from 60 to 500, or ovcir 5,000
may be given. I have often seen 2,000
Administered loanmn for slight offenses.
iloineliincH Ihe lie-tor himself gets licked
for being too gentle in tiie mo of his
bamboo. Of course a long continued
beating on the fleshy part of the thighs,
however gentle, soon beats thellesb into
a black and deadened mass, which is
often broken and bleeding, and takes
long time to cure. Tho marks generally
remain during life, hut that is a matter
of small consideration to officers who
have themselves suffered such punish
ments. Sometimes the officers appear
to have a desire of avenging themselves
on the unfortunate members of their
corps, as an atonement lor the wrongs
they have themselves suffered. Cutting
off u finger or an eur, sometimes tho
lips, is resorted to as a punishment for
slight offenses. Many Chinese officers
have but one ear.”
English Working Women.
It takes 37,910 women to nurse the
English sick.
In the English Civil Service there aro
3,200 women clerks.
Sixty four women engravers earn
their livelihood in England.
There are 7,162 women missionaries
ami proaciiers in England.
There aro GOO professional beauties in
London who don’t work at all.
There are 452 women editors in Eng
land and 1,309 female photographers.
There are 113,995 English school
teachers, nearly all of whom aro spin

Ten thousand five hundred women
bind English books and 2,302 assist in

There aro 93,138 women nailmakors

Lost Their Trees.
The Japanese aro wailing over the
wholesale destruction of their forests.
The fact is, Japan lias become far too
civilized, and is suffering from an “over
pressure” of western ideas. The Japan
ese had a keen eye to business once, but
now they swi m to keep that eye closed.
Of course, some of their ancient pro
tective customs were a little childish,
such as their not working mines, as
by so doing they would be robbing
their successors of the wealth hid iu the
earth. In protec'.ing the mulberry-tree
(hey showed wisdom, for the silkworms
fed on the muiberry-tree, and the culti
vation of silk is one of the richest
industries of Japan. The tree from
which tho varnish known ns lacquer
oozes, was also protected. Civilization,
however, has taught the Japanese that
the felling of tret3 means money. The
forests .have been hewn down. Mulberry
and lacquer trees have gone with the
rest The geese trees that grew tho
golden eggs have been killed. This is
the new civilization. The old ignorance
demanded that when a man uprooted
one true ho had to plant two in its
stead.
