The first report of Miss Florence Kelly, State raetory Inspector,, savs that in five months the inspector found <f,57d boys and girls under 1« years of »ge at work in a canvass of 24"> estab­ lishments. This does not include hun­ dred* of children ordered discharged ry^'btotjpljpeithey were under the age of 14. AajMpte workers being omitted from the-aftlothing' trades for the present year, the statement by trades, shows, 10,2*1 women and children under 16 to l»,851 nia'es over 16 years of age, or nearly 2 to 1. In the paper box fac­ tories inspected there exists a still greater preponderance of women and children compared with males over 16 years of age, the figures being 788 to S&8. In the cigar and tobacco trade there were found 1,325 women and children to 3,028 men. The striking figures in the summary by trades are 1,1H0 bjys under 16 years in the metal* working trade and 1,359 in the wood­ working trade. These figures show conclusively how far from prohibiting •re the provisions of the present law concerning the employment of children between 14 and Hi years. Many of the subdivisions also show the large num­ ber of women and children in propor­ tion to the males over 16 years, of age, fuch as the candy factories, with 1,^60 Women and children, to 963 males over M years, » Sympathy Strikes in Illinois. , Reports from tbe mining districts of Illinois in the vicinity of St Louis show that but four mines are now being operated--Staunton No. 6, San­ doval, Odin and Bunker Hill. The net .result of the crusade of strikers was the stopping of work in Staunton No. 7, C'lvde, Gillespie, Breese, Troy, Brooks Ide, Hillsboro, Coffee and Car- linvi le mines. Work wa* resumed at one c nsolidated mine and the Lu- xnaghi at Collinsville. In St. Louis the question of supply is the all important one. As a general rule, acc ording to close inquiry, factories have two or three weeks' reserve on hand. After that nothing. Sympathy strikes were also inaugurated at Blooming ton, De- ^ catur, Litchfield and Altm. At the f tetter place the stoppage of all manu­ facturing industries is imminent. The last of the ten immense factories of the Illinois Glass Company is closed for the season on account of the short­ age of coal. The Chicago and Alton Railroad has seized all coal on its lines for its own use, and none can be had except by river from Pennsylvania, of which there is a poor prospect in the future. • Waters Cheated Oat of a Bride. iriJohn Waters, a young farmer whose home is at Breckinridge, Sangamon Cjunty, and Miss Laura A. Forehand were to have been united in marriage in St. Joseph's Catholic Church, but the wedding did not come off, for the reason that the young woman disap- Eeared some time during the night and as not since been heard of by her friend*. It is surmised that she went off with a former lover whose home is at or near Reno, Bond County, but it is not known that this is the case. It seams that she is a minor, and a few days ago went to Reno to get the con­ sent of her guardian to her marriage. This she obtained, but her guardian was oppo.ed to her marriage with Waters, for the reason that he i-t a Catholic, and suggested the former lover as more suitable for her. Her sister thinks that after Laura left Reno her guardian hunted up the ' former lover and induced him to come and take her away. Constable Shoots a Man. 'l>, ,A few days ago a burglary was at­ tempted at Algonquin, but the plan had been given away by one of those concerned and a posse ot nino men were concealed in the house when the burglars came. They fired upen them and one of the burglars was wounded, but both escaped. It was reported that one of the robbers was in hiding at John Karsten's place, at Cary, and Constable Adamek a ad a party went there. It was late, but they aroused Kar»ten and demanded the privilege of searching the house. This he refu ed, and shot at them. Adarnek returned the fire and shot the farmer in the .. breast, inflicting a fatal wound. The j btirglar is still at large. NEARLY THREE BILLION#MAVE ••••• f. BEEN LOST.'

JUDGE CREIGHTON, of Springfield, held the National Marriage kndow- ment Association was organized for a purpose contrary to public policy and declined to order the issuance of a license. A SEIZURE of the barrels of whiskyi bearing the brand of J. H. Raible cre­ ated a sensation at Alton, as this is the third thee the Government officials have called on Mr. Raible. The charge is that of doctoring goods. IN the sensational trial of ex-Police­ man Gus Menkhausen, of Belleville, charged with poisoning his wife last November, the jury promptly returned a verdict of murder in the first degree and fixed the penalty at death. AT Lincoln the Illinois Asylum tor Feeble-Minded Children and the water works and electric light and railway plants have a most t-xhaustad their supply of coal. At Mount Pulaski the coal company has leased its shaft to the miners to operate as a co-operative shaft. ON the evening of the last day of the great revival services conducted at Jacksonville by that eminent evangel­ ist, Dr. J. W. Chapman, a perfect ova­ tion was tendered him at the Grand Opera House. During his stay he reached a large number who had been impervious to the efforts of the minis­ ters of the city, and by hh ] lain," com­ mon-seme methods ana earnestness has done wonders tor the community, and his name will beheld in fragrant re membrance for many years to come. COL. JAMES A. SEXTON, of Chicago, has resigned his position as trustee of the soldiers' home at Quiney. He gives a* a reason his inability to agree with two members of the board, Gen; Par sons and Capt, Steinwedell. A member of Col. Sexton's family taid that he believed the Colonel's only reason for retiring was the pressure ot business. Col. Sexton's own affairs, he t aid, de mand his attention and prosence in Chicago. The soldiers' house business took the Colonel from the city too much. STEPHEN O. COLEMAN, A clerk in the Springfield dry goods store of Reisch & Thoma, went into the store at 2 o'clock Tuesday morniny and sur­ prised two cracksmen as they were in the act of endeavoring to force the safe. They thrust two revolvers into his face. Then they robbed him of a diamond stud, a watch, and a revolver. The latter was discharged in the scuffle, w hereupon the two robbers fled, leaving a complete set of burglar tools behind them. They had not suc­ ceeded in getting into the safe. THE first official reports received at the office of the State Department of Agriculture since the severe freeze of March 25 show the damage done to wheat at that time was greatly over­ estimated.

Two hundred delegates were met at the depot by the reception com­ mittee of the Illinois tribe, consisting of C. H. Keeler, L. R. Rosbrook, W. G. Hartshorn, H. A. Brown. Edward Ramsay, Joseph T. Day and Edward Winders. Among the most prominent delegates were: Great Chief of Rec­ ords H. Tandy, of Freeport; Great Senior Sagamore Wilson Brooks, tf Chicago; Great Hachem W. A. Hoover, of Streator, and Great Keeper of Wam­ pum W. H. Holland, of Freeport. The meeting was addressed by Joseph F. Palmer, Mayo;- of the city, and a re­ sponse was made by one of the dele­ gates. An intere ting program was fol­ lowed by a banquet. THE coal famine is seriously felt among .the industries of Aurora, quite a number being compelled to hastily construct furnaces for the use of crude oil. The Electric street Railway plant has put in expensive apparatus for burning oil, and the Chicago Bi r- lington and Quiney Railroad Company is conducting successful experin enti in the use of oil in its locomotives.' It is probable that all the locomotive# will soon be equipped with apparatus for burning oil instead of coal. Two Quiney factories closed down, and more a^e expected to follow. Wood is be­ ing burned in many factories. The water works, electric light works, gas works, and street car companies are without coal for fuel and are burning corncobs, slabs, cordwocd, and hay under their boilers. The strawboard .mill and mary other industries have been compelled to shut down from in­ ability to get fuel. THE Illinois Central Northern ex­ press was derailed at Bucklev. The veteran engineer, Samuel S. £dgerly, was killed. The passengers were shaken up, but none were injured. The damage to the rolling stock was slight. MRS. JOB MITCHELL, wife of a prom­ inent citizen of Independence, died from the effects of a dosa of poison. Mitchell stocd guard with a shotgun and prevented any one going to her relief, and then went out and tried to hang himself, but was discovered and saved. They had ,been married less than two weeks.

It is most remarkab'e how the financial conditions hwe repeated themselves after the lap e of so many vears. The panic years of 1*57 and 1838, toward the end of James Bu­ chanan's term, are being duplicated in the beginning of Grover Cleveland's term, at the close of which the Demo­ crats will be again driven from power. There the similarity ceases. There will not be a second civil war. The Democratic panic yoars, 1857 and 1858, eclipsed all previous records of disaster the country had known. The panic of 1h37 was but a zephyr compared to the Democratic cyclone of 1857. But as the Democratic panic of 1857-8 was to that of 1S37, so is the Democratic panic of 189:1-4 to that of 1857-8. The coun­ try has increased in population and magnitude, and the Democratic party in numbers and in folly. Hence is the panic greater and the disaster more widespread. If that was a cyclone, this is a cataclysm. The indemnity which Germany wrung from France after the closc of the Franco-German war was five milliards of francs, or one thousand millions of dollars. This is an enor­ mous sum. But it is as nothiog com­ pared to the penalty paid by the American people for placing the Demo­ crats in power. It is in the nature of things impossible to make accurate figures on such an amount, but an at­ tempt has been made by a statistician, Mr. Joseph R. Buchanan, and he has {mblished a series of elaborate tables n a New York paper. These tables fill columns of fine type, and cannot be reproduced here, but some of his totals are of interest. He gives the number of adult males in the United States as 13,(«00.i Oo: of these, ^<300,000 are in agricultural pursuits, and 1.000,000 are proprietors of various establishments. This leaves fi^COJ.OOO male wage-work­ ers. Of these, 2,393,000, according to Mr,,Buchanan, are out of work. He givfes his figures, sources of informa­ tion, etj., all carefully classified ac­ cording to various occupations. He gives tjie wages of the various callings, percentage of loss where wages have been reduced, and amount of loss where men are out of work. He thus figures up the loss of wages to workingmen during the seven months beginning with September, 1893, at the enor­ mous sum of nearly a billion of dollars -to be exact, »935,516,400. The shrinkage in wages alone is' about one-half the national debt. But the tables go on. He compares the prices paid for last year's crop of wheat, corn, cotton, oats, potatoes, and rye; for last year's output of silver and pig-iron at present prices; for the shrinkage in value of stock exchange securities, mortgage bonds, etc.; and adding these to the loss in wages al­ ready given, he makes a total loss to the American people, since the Demo­ cratic party went into power, of nearly three billions of dollars--to be exact, $2,717,198,568. Democrats may sneer at these figuies, and' call them mathematical romancing. But they are borne out by the figures of the United States Government. It« de­ crease in revenue alone shows the ex­ traordinary diminution in the pur­ chasing power of the American peo­ ple. tor the month of January, the dutiable imports were $22,208,193, against $39,309,525 for the samo month in 1893, a decrease of about forty-four per cent. The customs revenue in February decreased 86,516,000 com­ pared with last year, • or tahirty-eight per cent. In articles of luxury the de­ mand fell off over fifty per cent.; in partially manufactured articles, forty percent.; and so on down to dutiable articles of food, which fell off about fifteen per cent. If there is' any nation in the world which is extravagant in the matter of food, it is the American people. They are more than extravagant--they are luxurious, they are wasteful. Yet this one item of decrease in the dutiable fo.d supply shows that the Democratic depiession has affected even those epi­ curean Americans who must bring luxuries from over seas; those who are not satisfied with the succulent canvas- backs, the sugar-cured hams, the Blue Point and Lynn Haven oysters, the porter-house steaks, the hog and hom­ iny, the buckwheat cakes, the corn, and wine, and oil which this fat and juicy land of ours produces, but must import fatties made from the livers of bloatad Strasburg geese, leberwurst made from the hepaiie organs of Ger­ man swine, mortadella made from the flesh of Italian donkeys, and Lyons sausages made from French heaven- knows-what. If these people feel the pini 1 •, what must others feel? If Dives, who lives on pate de ioie gras, must retrench, what shall happen Laz- aim, who lives on crumbs.' Lazarus must starve. In the face of the fact that ttfe'pur chasing power of the American»people, and consequently the revenues of tbe Government, are falling off in this enormous proportion, the Democratic President and his "cuckco" Congress are seriously attempting to wipe out what revenue retrains. * Last week in the United States Senate it was shown by a Treasury statement that there was a deficit of $78,000,0 JO for the cur­ rent fitcal year: in addition to this, the Wilson tariff bill, even as amended by the Senate, discards $7»\000.000 of revenue, making a total deficit of $154,- .00i),0J0. To repair this hole in the revenue, the Democrats--who have caused it--now propose to levy an in- « o.ue tax, a tax which will divide this republic into the classes" -and the masses. • Any thinking man. whether he he a Democrat or a Republican, must b3 impre-sed by this colossal folly. The most charitable view that can be taken of the present Democratic Congress is that its members are stricken A'ith a form of acute demenlia. It would not be an unmixed evil for the American people, if, like a certain other assem­ blage *ot demented animals, they should ba possessed of ia devil, and run vi' lently down a steep placa iijto the they hatf hot sown to the wii The harvest of whirlwind must now be reaped. ' \ • Tricmph of the Trn«t'. Tariff bill the third ha* been pre­ pared by the Democratic managers. Of the Wilson bill it now hardly is necessary to speak; it is dead, mutilat­ ed, and mangle 1. trampled upon and deuiel Christian burial by those who should "Khve been Its champions, the Chicago Inter Ocean t ays. It was the first, and it will be the last, of country school teachers' tariff bills. Where is David A. Wells? Where is that incor­ porated lie. the alien importer's club, that, called itself the New York Re­ form Lea^ue?( Where is the Star- Eyed Goddess? Where are the sappy gentlemen that followed in her train and that composed her masquerading court? Why do we net hear their voice of lamentation? Why do they sit in dumb despair? Bill the third shouts defiance to the Democratic tariff resolution of 1892. That said: "We declare it to be a fun­ damental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal government has no constitutional power to enforce and collect tariff duties, except for pur­ poses of revenue only." Bill the third proceeds upon the assumption that revenue is a secondary consideration in tariff legislation Bill the first made ooal, iron and sugar free of duty. Bill the second imposed duties on all of them, avowed* ly for the purposo of protection. Bill the third increases the measure of pro­ tection afforded' by bill the tecond. Bill the first made serious reductions in the duties on cotton goods. Bill the second modified those reductions. Bill the third makes still more protec­ tive modifications.

The jury retired after hearing a long charge from Judge Miller, which left them little alternative but to convict if they followed his instructions. The verdict was guilty as to the first charge--car* rying banners upon the Capitol grounds-against all the defendants,and on the second charge--walking on the grass of the Capitol grounds--guilty as to Coxey and Browne, tlnd not guilty as to Jones.

Northern labor and Northern agriculture are about the only things deprived wholly of protection. The Northern wage-earn­ er is deprived by bill the third of tho blessing of cheap sugar that the Mc- Kinley law bestowed upon him; the Northei n farmer is deprived of pro­ tection to his wool. The Northern manufacturer of wool­ en goods, after being bated with "free raw material," smarts under the springs of the Democratic tariff trap, which are so adjusted as to give more. protection to the lower grades of cot* ten goods than was contemplated by bill the second, while diminishing the duties on imported woollens. But the Northern manufacturer^ of wool were not united; part of them went astraj after free "rawmaterial." The South­ ern manufacturers of low-grade cot­ tons "hung together," ana by so doing obtained not only "free raw material but increased dutitS.

As a patron saint, t)ia founders of Tammany chose me of the most, noted of Delaware chieftaimL whose name thev gave to their organ^ i/ation. Chief Tammany, said tradi­ tion, ruled over thirteen tribes. Theie thirteen tribes, a> well as the original thirteen States, were commemorated by the division of the society into thirteen tribes, each of which had its emblem chosen from the animal king­ dom-the buffalo, the eagle, the won, the tiger, and so on. Tiie tiger alone has survived to modern times a* the sy mbol off the organization^-at lead!, so far a« political cartoons are om- cerned. The association kept up the Indian analogy throughout. Its meeting ffeoe wa* a "wigwam." its officers were thir­ teen "sachems" and a "grand sachem,* a "sagamore" or guardian of its prop­ erty, a "wiskinskie" or doorkeeper, a "scribe" and a '•father of the council,* to whom were added the modern func­ tionaries, a secretary and tr Partisan politics 'first enter many at the time of the whisky insur­ rection in IT9J. , Thus edtrly'enlisted., in the strife of parties Tammany began to giih power as a political organization. It has hed its p >ri ;ds of triumph and defeafc nntil to-day it has the city under more abso­ lute control than ever before. It electa or appoints Its every officer from Mayor to street-sweeper; it in a groat degree controls the government of the chief American State by sending to Albany nearly a quarter of the members of its Legislature; it has a powerful j?Q|£e in national affairs with its ten Copgrese* men, its influence in the Semite, and its representatives high in the depart* menta. With the grip that Tammttnj now has on the metropolis it is no* likely to lose its power very Mxra. v TO WASHINGTON'S MOTHER: "> -v-. ry- • .fill 1 *-!' *-v; IT' -T- jr..

BANOAU. EMIGRATION FALLING OFF. DMnaM of 11,187 for the First Quarter of 1894, Compared with 1803. The British government returns on emigration for the three months end" ing April 1 show a most pronounced decrease in the forced expatriation o! British subjects. The total emigra­ tion in this period aggregated 21,915, or a decrease of 17,187 compared with the same period of 1893. The reduc­ tion is shared proportionately by the three naticnalit'es of the United Kingdom. There were ltf,S01 emi­ grants from England, a decline of 8,712; 2,093 lrom Scotland, a tailing off of 2,015, and 3,022 from Ire­ land. a falling off of 6,46 ». The falling off in emigration from Ireland is at­ tributed t3 the hard times now pre­ vailing in the United States, which has militated against Irish-Americans forwarding remittances to pay the passage of their relatives and friends to the other side of the water. The decrease was general to every country, oxcept South Africa, which shows an increase of (M.9 over the corresponding period of last year. The falling off of emigration to the United States for the quarter aggregated 20,7t9; to Canada, <5,308; to Australia, 704. The falling off was most noticeable in the month of M&rch. .
