I., has gone into effiecf^ t $$$ fak crease will affect abont ^6,000 |>eopl^. The increased Ohri8jfti&» f*aa$;an1$ the heavy work of the Poet Office Department and of the'ejcprese com- panies is a convincing proof that times are better and that thelMisinesa of the country is ( improved. Twenty percent advance in wages was the Christmas- gift *$oejtowKby some fifteen hundred employees of Indiana glass factories. The com- panies state that there* ample work in prospect to keep their factories running On full time, their entire stocks of glass on hand having been exhausted. The world's production of gold for the calendar year of 1898 is fliven by Secretary <3age as hefeig^#6j8,956,Q00; of silver at its commercial value, $111,378,000. of which, the, coining value is |2134S3,?00. The world's coinage of goto was 1196,899,817^ of silver, $153,395,740. Tae report of the director of the mint itfreferred to, in which the decline of silver since 1873 is attributed to the great increase in production. The Illinois , Steel Company an nouuees its orders at this time dear- ly double thereat the beginning of any previous year, and prophesies that the country is entering upon the best business period within ten years. There is probably no more accurate indication of the condition of the business generally than is shown by the iron industry. Iron and steel en- ter into practically all branches of business, —building, rnanufact uries, mining, agriculture, railroads and in fact every, branch of trade, and an enlarged demand for it surely indi cates an increase in all branches of business. Congressman Cluckering has de cided to press his bill for the appro priation of $1,000,000 for the con- struction of a ship canal around the Niagara river to a finish at this session of congress At the last ses- sion he secured an appropriation of. $50,000 for a survey of the proposed route, and the report proved that a canal of this character was entirely practicable and ought to b» construct ed. Although great pressure is bro't to bear upon every republican to keep down appropriations this year, Mr. Cbickering thinks he s^es a way in which he can steer his bill. There is no doubt but that he will be able to steer it as well as anybody can. The legislature which has just con- vened will need to use great wisdom in regard to the extravagant meas ures which are to be presented. Not- withstanding .the great* progress made in the last year or two on the capitol, in con-sequence of liberal ap propriations by the legislature, the work of completion of that huge monument of extravagance is as far off as ever It is designed to pur- chase all the property west of the capitol to Swan street, from State street to Washington avenue, com- prising a good sized block of high priced and improved rc»l estate for the western approach On this ground a new state library may be erected. The capitol has already cost over $24,000,000. over double its value, and the contemplated itn provements will easily send it far l»e yond the $80,000,000 mark. It w claimed also that an appropriation of $7,000,000 will be asked for in addi tion to the $9,000,000 already appro printed, to complete the work of canal improvement. When is this prodigious extravagance ' to cease? Our members wflj need to keep ccol heads to fight these monstrous schemes to squander the people's money. >/' FORT JACKSON. - ' . .j <„'..,— Faacral «f A, P. CM«ea««a>*\Wlntlirop Lodge I. 0. 0.

As most people in this Jcnow, the Lehigh Construc- tion Company has the contract for the entire* excavation both of the canal and the power house site. A part of th ; s work, oh account of its magnitude, was sublet to several contractors, one of whom was John* W. Crtdlin, of Hazleton, Pa The work of the subcontractor.* consists chiefly in removing the earth to water level after which the main labor of \diggmg\ the canal is to be done by the Lehigh Construction Company. For this purpose the im- mense c nwors, two of the number being already constructed, are to move up the fine of the canal on its banks and throw, out. the earth on either side, which the steam shovels have removed from the canal proper. This is the work of the Lehigh peo- ple, together with the building ofthe power house They have at present invested $300,000 in machinery and buildings for the accomplishment of this mighty task. There has been, no hitch whatever in the great under- taking from the start to the present wnae. The only point at present is a difference at issue or a misunder- standing between the Lehigh Com- pany and Mr. CrelUn and although we have the facts at our disposal they are of a private nature and not of interest to. the public. It is safe to say that the Lehigh Construc- tion Company's contract with its subcontractors is stoutly drawn and no sharp pract ce will be allowed. The bills of the company are paid on the 20th of each month for the preceding month. Mr. Crellin de- sired the full amount earned by him in November at the settlement De- cember 20th. while the Lehigh Com-, puny asked a complete settlement of all mitters up to date. Mr. Crellin would not hear to this and sued the companv, taking out an attachment for between $6,000 juid *7,()00 on the personal property in the buildings and along the line of the canal. D. A. & W. A. Moore, of Potsdam, have also placed an attachment for $251) cm some of the property, tn this case the Lehigh p ©pie claim that the Potsdam firm h »s not ful- filled their part of the agreement In regard to the quality of the. material used and is retaining this small por- tion of the payment until a final set- tlement can be had. We fnil to see how the Lehigh Con- struction Companv can b° censured in the slightest degreefor their \ac- tion in these matters. They have simply asked for a final settlement at the close of the year the same as any business firm. The company has always been squire with the many people with whom it has had dealings since coming to town, and it his left a large amount of money in St. Lawrence county. Hundreds of laborers from every section of the sta*e have received thejr Wages reg ularly, while factories, shops and stores have heen liberally patronized. We expect to see the force of men, who went home for the*holidays, re- turn later in the month and the work resumed that can be done during the winter months, while by the first of May twelve hundred men will be employed by this company alone. The work will then be pushed night and day, and when winter comes again 4,000.000 cubic yards of earth will have been removed, TEACHERS' TRAlWWa CUSS. Student!
