The National Labor Convention
still in session.

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-The National
Labor Convention continued its session
till half-past O'Clock this morning, ow.
ing TO bitter discussion Of the platform.
and resumed the session and discussion at
10 o'clock to-day, with but little more
than half the delegates present.
F. ". Hughes made speech largely
upon the labor question, iayoripg eight
hours for work and drprecating the em-
ployment OF children in factories.
Other speeches followed, but the speak
ers were interrupted frequently and un-
pleasant expressions exchanged.
J. P. Devices, Chairman Of the State
Central Committee, read more couser-
'vatiye platform than that rerd the night
before, and it was loudly cheered.
Mr.. Everson, Of Beaver, moved that it
be adopted, when there were loud cries Of
"No gag law Hold on"
The delegate from Fayette alluded to
the mob law OF Luzerne, which brought
forty delegates to their feet.
Exceptions were taken to q portion OF
the last platform read, which proposed
tha. the party be called the GreenbAck
Labor party instead OF the National, and
q vote upon the question to strike out
that portion Of the platform, provoked
the liyeliest discussion between the Labor
and Greenback elements, and the speeches
all alluded to the two elements in
convention. motion to strike out the
Greenbaek Labor party was lost by an
overwhelming vote.
A resolution that the convention con-
demn any lawlessness or violence was
adopted, and the platform read this morn.
ing was also adopted with few amend.
ments.
II may be summarized as follows: That
the party advocates high protective
tariff; moderate reforms In the
hours OF labor TO be regulated
BY wise legislation; opposition tc
discriminating mouopolies in the car
rying trade aud the substitution Of the
nation's money for bank notes. II de-
mands the unconditional repeal OF the
resumption act and the recognition by
Congress OF the efforts at internal i'm
proyements and the encouragement oi
shipbuilding and ocean transportation
disowns any countenance Of lawlessnesI
or violence; advocates the maintenance
Of the principles OF the party BY the judi
cious use Of the ballot-box, and changes
the name Of the party from that OF the
National Labor Party TO the Nationa
Greenback Labor Party.
F.P. Devices was reelected Chairman
Of the State Central Committee.
DR.. Sturgeon, Chairman Of the Ma.
tional Executive Committee, delivered
an address.
The Convention adjourned sine lie.

From the New YORK Times
The enormous increase Of the acreage
OF land under wheat, and the truly mag.
nifcent yield OF that grain promised
from States like Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
and Minnesota, furnish some Of the most
striking indications Of the pace at which
agricultural development is proceeding
10 the United States. The fears expires.
sed In some quarters that more grain
will be raised than can be marketed are
born Of the very intoxication Of the
coming abundance. aust another good
harvest" has been the cry Of those who
think that trade recoyers too slowly, and
confidence fails to keep pace with the
growing resources Of the country. And
now nothing short Of cataclySm Of na.
ture can prevent us from having such a
harvest as will stand unequalled In the
couutry's history. Itthat solid addition
to the na,ionul wealth fails to give the
wheels Of commerce new impetus, they
mnst be harder 10 start than We have any
reason 10 suppose.

Political Notes.
One Of The points which the Rspubli.

One Of the points which the Republi'
can. are seeking to gain in the next Con
gressionAl election Is 4 mljority Of the
delegations 10 q majority Of the States
30 that, should the next Presidential elec
.ion be thrown into the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes. where each State would have
vote, the Republicans could elect thei'
man. The Republicans now control sew
enteen State delegations, the Democrats
seventeen, and two are evenly divided.
The Jackson (Mis.) Tines hopes that
the Republican Congressional Committee
will make an effort to carry the districts
in the South which are heavily Republi-
can on fair vote, and says:
"Northern Republicans who may come
to Mississippi for the purpose OF adyo'
eating the principles OF the party will be
treated kindly and given respectful
hearing. BulldoEing, ballot.box stuffingl
intimidation, violence and murder for
opinions sake are becoming unpopular
In this State. The better class OF our
people will no longer tolerate such out
RACES"
Perhaps the most rabid Of all the Dem.
ocratic newspapers in the South ia the
Vicksburg (Miss) Herald. It's words
therefore convey double mssning when
It says OF the revival Of the Presidential
controversy:
"Talk about unseating the ruler Of
forty millions Of people Is cheap. bat the
work is vast. Mr.. Hayes was declared
President by Congress, he was duly in
augurated, and he will stick. The South
could only injure herself by attempting
4 crusade OF howling against him, and
we are glad to see that the vast ma ority
Of our people are not the least moved to
do so."
Kearney, the San Francisco labor agi.
tator, went with deputation Of his fol-.
lowers to visit the Roman Catholic Arch.
bishop Of that city the other day. After
listening to little harangus the Arch
bishop replied as follows:
"Mr. Kearney, understand that you
wish me to mind my own business. Very
good; perhaps you know what my bust.
ness il better than | do. But, Mr., Kear-
ney, there Is only one gentleman who Is
at present authorized 10 show me how 10
mind my business, and that is the Pope
OF Rome. Perhaps, Mr.. Kearney, II you
will write 10 him he will transfer that
power TO you. And now let me tell you
. little story, Mr.. Kearney. l have lived
here great many years, and / know the
temper Of the people Of California pretty
we'll, and q long time ago, before you had
come to America, went to bed one night
leaving everything going on in the city
as usual. Well, Mr.. Kearney, after 3
comfortable nighta rest ] arose and
looked out Of the window, and there In
the street was poor fellow hanging by
his neck, quite dead, suspended from q
lamp.post. he was . poor fellow who
did not know how to mind his own busi-
ness, Mr.. Kesrney, and that wa, all. You
mind your business well, Mr.. Kearney.
and will mind mine. Good morning."
