The Coming state Labor Convention.

The colored men Of this State, up to the pre-
sent time debarred from taking part in many,
nearly all, Of the various occupations, mechani-
cal and scientific, are now called upon to
unite in the coming State Labor Convention,
which will be held on the Oath inst. at
Saratoga. The invitation is not confined to
colored men exclusively, but is extended to all
classes of workingmen irrespective of color.
However, the Convention is intended to
appeal directly to the newly enfranchised
The Importance Of this movement is evident,
and no doubt 1t will be largely attended. As
yet the different labor organizations have
taken no steps towards a recognition
of the rights of the colored man to a
participation in the mechanical arts Whether
the present occasion will be taken advantage
of to send representatives to the Convention
remains to be seen. Among the many matters
which will come up before the Convention
possibly the Chinese labor question will find Q
place. 1t will be interesting to know how the
colored men feel on this subject-one that Ii
destined at no very distant period to exercise
an influence on many classes of labor through.
out the country. From the prominence which
the Chinese question has already obtained
there may be disposition on the part Of the
white workingmen to act in harmony with
their colored fellow citizens. The time is not
far distant. and few days will tell the tale.

thus disappeared. Chinese immigration will
be regulated, like European immigration, by
the old law of supply and demand. 1t will
not be forced upon us. It will not overvseIm
US. The opponents Of Chinese immigration
are lighting against coolie labor--a phantom
monster which no longer exists save in thsr
own imagination. Governor Seymour admits
that "the Chinese have useful qualities; that
they are said to be good servants, ready to do
the work OF men or women;" but in almost
the same breath he adds 1--WE must not Judge
OF those who come here by those who stay at
home. We get only the dregs." Now if ''the
dregs" have won great and well deserved
praise for their ''useful qualities" what addi-
tions to our, national wealth may not be
expected from Immigrants of higher grade?
Moreover, 1t is mistake to suppose that
John Chinaman can remain here long without
having his eyes opened to the necessity and
the right of better wages than he has been
satisfied with at home This is manifest from
an incident recorded by lady correspondent
from California, in letter which appeared 10
the last number of the National Standard.
Abiding to ''the ten cents a day theory" on
which the Chinese, it is said, can live and
underbid white labor 80 as to drive 1t to
starvation, this lady declares that ''whatever
they may have been obliged to endure in over
populated China they have, be sure, no inten-
tion of repeating the experience here. In the
kitchen last evening All Chin-who had just
Gu;obod his c,Dnar ofo op,olot cuatard md.
ding aad strawberries, with English ~
breakfast tea to wash it down-in-
formed me that six dollars week no
good; seven dollars good. Much wash,
much cook. You tell Mr. X. he no give seven
dollar you get another boy one week And in
reply to my remark that liked him, and should
be sorry to have him co. he coolly observed,
Yes, yes, me likee you, too; like stay here;
seven dollars!'" Thus the Chinaman, as well
as the European soon learns to appreciate and
demand 'well paid labor" in this country. Nor
will it be easy for Governor Seymour to con-
vince us that we can discriminate as to the
''creeds and customs" of Asiatic immigrants
any more than as to ''the creeds and customs"
of European immigrants. In fne, scarcely
anything need be urged against the arguments
of the opponents Of Chinese immigration. which
they misname ''coolie labor" than this-that
Chinese immigration is already what Mr..
Guizot used to call un .ta@ acconap!i-an ac-
complished fact. 1t is here and we must make
the best of it we can, absorbing it gradually
into the mass of elements which compose the
society of our vast republic.

Public Funerals to Criminals-An Evil
Example.

Public Funerals to Crimina,s-Au Evil
We have witnessed from time to time in
this city grand ovations, rendered in conspicu-
GUS funeral obsequies, to those whom society
generally regards as unworthy of much public
note, because they have been violators of the
law, and, happily indeed for the peace and
well being Of the community, have had their
course of crime brought to close as the laws
victims. 1t is matter Of regret to see any
portion of the public doing honor to individ-
uals Of this class, convicted and executed
murderers; but at the same time it is con-
soling to know that the respectability, the
good sense and the obedience to law which
form the strength Of our metropolitan society
utterly abhors and holds apart from such
funeral of the unfortunate Real, who, what
ever may have been his faults In life, Chris
tian charity should have given him peace on
the scaffold-peace in his dreary way to the
last resting place Of mortality ity-peace at least
In his dying moments and in the Gnal march to
the grave-peace from the paltry trickeries Of
politics that in this case shamed the usually
solemn scenes of the death and the burial.
Nothing could have been in worse taste than
the outdoor exhibition at Reals obsequies.
If 1t meant anything beyond bid for few
votes at the next election, and the motive to
excite political animosity to people in respon-
sible positions, 1t meant that the law should
be deded by glorifying the lawless it
meant that the country should see
how justice can bo insulted in this
great city by doing honor to its victims.
We need not touch the details of this display.
If all that is told Of them as occurring at the
grave be true they are too revolving for refe-
renee. The spirit Of the thing is apparent,
and it must be-and no doubt 1t is-sternly

, munity as an evil example to TIA lawless

exhibit great alarm, and are almost unanimous
for strictly neutral precautions but where a
shade Of preference is observable 1t is for the
French.
The general deduction that the intelligent
reader will draw from this brief and rapid
survey Is that France is likely to be isolated
unless at the eleventh hour Italy and, as we
have limited in former articles, Great Britain
come to the rescue; and in that combination
many read the shibboleth of revolution.

THE CANADIAN PRESS AND THE HERALD

THE CANADIAN Press AND THE HERALD
AS will be seen by our Quebec correspondence,
the press of the Dominion is unduly excited
over the NEW YORK HERALD. The military
authorities having some thousands Of tons Of
war material for sale naturally advertised in
our columns. Whereupon one loyal journal
complains that by this means ''the fact of the
sale is published to the world" That is pre-
ciseIy why the British government, with
rather more common sense than red-tapists
generally display, selected their medium.
Royalty, as well as republicanism, pays its
tribute to journalistic enterprise and energy.

the front of the fight, and Russia and Prussia,
whatever Great Britain may do, will put down
the South The presumption is that Great
Britain, in such case, will come in as media
tor and probably end this fight The Bible
prophets, who see in this fight the battle Of
Armageddon, may not be 80 far wrong after all.
The condition of France as compared with
the condition of Germany at the present
moment Is bad. France trembles. Germany
Is full of confidence. The morale of the
struggle is all against France. 1t was
Napoleon who began the war, and the pretext
for war, according to the common sense of
mankind, was contemplate. Napoleon talked
big; King William was calm, digniied and
willing to abide the issue. Napoleon was
theatrical and talked Of Louis and his first
baptism of fire. The boy prince, after his
baptism, is hurried back to his mother. How
much grander the conduct of King William |
He waits until he has right to speak. Com
pare the ''baptism of fire" with the words, "a
great victory has been won by our Fritz. God
be praised for His mercy" The former is
modern charlatanism. The latter has the fine
ring Of the good old times, when men had
faith in the God Of battles. Napoleon may
yet turn the tide Of victory and save France
and his dynasty. But If he does not win a
great battle before Monday first, which is his
ftte day, the house Of Bonaparte is doomed.
According to all appearances Napoleon's last
blunder has been his greatest.
