TuR THREATENED STRIKE. New
York Journal Of Commerce notes the
threatened strike of some of the trades
unions in that city. particularly the
carpenters and the ''allied societies. {"
The editor reminds them of the failure
OF the strike last year on the GYght.hour
issue. adding: 1.-The present wages on
the eight,hour scale are $3.50 O day.
The bosses propose to give forty cents
an hour for ten hours' work, and the
same rate for. additional hours. Men
who are wiling to labor twelve hours
and there are not few thus ambitious
would make nearly five dollars day for
ordinary house-oarpenter work" The
workmen who are thus ambitious are
wise, as it is the sure means by which
men who labor for living may Law bv
something for rainy day. and. in time,
perhaps, ceafe delving, and take the rest
or case which advanced life calls for.
Men have the right, however, to work
only eight hours if they 80 agree. or
even less, the matter OF wages sventu-
ally regulating itself by circumstances; :;
but the more leisure q man takes in his
youth, the less he is likely to have in
store for old age, when he needs it the
more. The greater amount OF time he is
regular employed ia making money, the
less time will he have to devote to the
useless or extravagant spending of it.

An Act to Suppress Crime.

WHEREAS, from the frequency of drunken
w brOilS, and the decentralization that seems
to be widespread, coupled with the many brutal
assaults with knife and pistol, not ONLY nuOn ,he
citizens, butupOn the officers OF tie law;
And whereas, it IS plain 20 be seen Snch acts
are the offspring of the deplorabie habit OF car
Tying deadly weapons, and a knowledge OF this
inadequacy of the law to severely punish the Of
fender, and at the same time to hold the officers
TO more strict account of their duty: therefore
BE it enacted by the Mayor and City Council
of Nashville
Section !. That every person found carving
pistol bowie-knite dirk-knife, slung-shOt. brass
knucks, OF other deadly weapon. shall be deem
ed guilty OF mlsdemeallor, and upon conviction
Of such first offense shall be fined from ten to
fifty dollars at the discretion of the court but
upon conviction shall be fined fifty dollars for
every such subsequent offenSe; provided, how
ever, that ordinary pocket knives and common
walking canes are net construed to be deadly
weapons.
Sec. :. That it shall be the duty of every Do
lice officer who sees any person or persons with,
or knows of any person carrying such deadly
weapons, TO Immediately arrest every such per-
son, that they may be dealt with in accordance
with the provisions of this act.
Sec. 5. That every police officer who NAV re-
fuse or neglect to immediately arrest every
such person seen with or known TO he earring
such deadly weapons, shall be deemed guilty OF
derelction OF duty, and upon conviction there
OF shall he dismissed from the service; and any
tp0 respectable citizens shall be deemed compe-

against such police officer for such dereliction OF
duty.
Sec. 4. To the end that the provisions of this

Sec. s. 1t is expressly understood that the pro-

to work well, and soon the Pennsyl-
vauia prince made arrangements to run
his trains over the old Baltimore, Will
mington and Philadelphia road, the
same which Col. Garrett was also
using. And here comes the hitch. Mr..
Scott. owning the Jersey roads, has
now refused to connect with the trains
of Col. Garrett at Philadelphia, without
giving the six months notice required
by the old contract with the Jersey
roads. This is the elimination OF a
series of grievances with these
roads under Scott's management. 80
far as the travel to New York is con-
cerned, the Baltimore and Ohio road
could do nothing but accommodate
itself to whatever shifting schedule
Tom Scott should impose on tie Jersey
roads. So far, it has retained it full
quota of passengers and still carries the
through mail. Besides, the travel be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia is
not disturbed in the least. But Col.
CARROTS most effective response to the
Scott movement is one which will re-
dound to the benefit of the public. He
has struck at the main stem of the
Pennsylvania road by reducing the
rates West. The fare from Baltimore
to Pittsburgh, for instance, is cut down
from IS to Sc; to Cincinnati, from SIG
to SO; to Chicago, from $50 to SIS; to
St. Louis, from 1913 to $l8. This would
divert Southwark a large amount Of the
Pennsylvania Central's main travel,
and as that road with its extensive
leases has been embarrassed by the
panic, the blow would tell all the more.
OF course the Pennsylvania road has
been obliged to follow suit in the mat
ter of reduction, but the question is
which can standit longest. Experience
ed railroad men who are watching this
conflict with interest, are of opinion
that the immense surplus funds Of the
Baltimore and Ohio road solve the
problem in advance. Col. Garrett
might have anticipated Scott and
bought out thesWilmington and Phil
adelphia road with portion of his sur
plus, but he considers Baltimore the
proper terminus of his road, and uses
his surplus altogether for the develop
ment of that city, considering the New
York travel u secondary matter. His
course in this matter is eminentiy
praiseworthy, and the Baltimore and
Ohio rad deserves the patronage of
our Southern travellers. Day parlor
cars are being put on all through trains
and passenger locomotives burn anthra-
cite coal only.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that a
bill has been framed, and is to be in
troduced in Congress after the recess,
abohshing the Office of Chief Justice.
1t is said to have the support of Conk-
ling, Morton and others of the leading
legal minds in the Senate. 1t is con-
tended that the presiding or chief of
the Justices should be selected by the
voice of the body, If at all, and that his
compeers would be best able to make a
selection which would be satisfactory
and creditable. Ii Grant shall succeed
in applying the party lash so vigorously
as to secure the confirmation of his
nominee for Chief-Justice, this bill
ought to be hurried through with all
possible speed.

the civil service rules, which are a hob

That paper says:
We have already stated that the
nomination Of Mr. Williams to be Chlef
Justice Of the United States had sur
o,rised the country. We may now add
that It seems to have outraged The pro-
fession.
Ho.per's Weekly thinks the hcsita-

it thinks the nomination. ought not to

Yet with protests Of this character
coming up, not from the opposition
alone. bat from the partisan journals
Of his own party, Grant has semi-of-
ficially declared his intention to keep
The Williams nomination before the
