second Days Session-A Funny
Lot OF People.

NEw YORK, August S.-The Con.
gressional Committee on the labor ques-
thion resumed It's session this morning.
Mr.. bartholomew, Chairman ofthe Social
Democratic party, resumed his testimony
He said the timss are worse now than in
1870. A non-prOducer now receives eight
times as much as producer. He was a
piano maker, and 10 the inflated times his
wages did not go up, but alter the panic
they fell of 20 per cent. Heurges the
establishment Of labor bureau similar 70
thatin Massachusetts,, and that no politi.
clans should be allowed to have anything
to do with 1t.
BE would have no accumulation Of
capital 10 private hands, but under the
control Of the government for the benefit
OF the people. In this state Of society
there would be no desire among working
men 70 accumulate, as they would be
sure Of constant work. Sill he would
not pay one man Is much as another, bot
give each salary or wages equal TO the
amount and perfection ot his work.
The committee questioned Barthole-
new on the practical working Of his sys.
TEN Of cooperative societies, but being
unable to answer was prevailed upon to
retire.,
The rest Of the Socialists had for
considerable time watched BartholemeW's
hopeless meauderings with disgust, at
last muttering, "dos rindrich der esel, "

his comrades became go loud that he sat
down.
Isaac Bennett, = cigar maker, adyo.

Mr.. Hewitt-Ahl then you want cap.

The answer was in part that the reduc-
ton Of the hours Of labor TO eight hours
per day would increase wages.
BAysrd, OF Illinois-Then would not

still further increase wAges2 To this
there was no reply.
Adolph Duoia, Of the Socialist Labor
party next appeared and discussed the
land laws Of England Of al ancient date.
He maintained that the Government

that the Government should enact 3 law

Labor party, a.cribed the depression in
labor to the bond system, saying that the
people take their money out Of manntac'
lures and invest il in bonds, on which
they obtain interest He denounced
the railroad land grants, aud thought
that the Government should have
built It's own railroads. The great
means be declared to relieve the distress
among the laboring classes, was for the

WHAT the Plate Chief Thinks About

N4ches. the Pluto Chief, arrived in
town yesterday from Big Meadows,
having heard of the contemplated re-
movi of Indians to reservations, and
the lbanlonmsn of Camp Med ermit.
He is one of the most intelligent of his
race, aud always has exsrted his inau-
eDce to prevent disturbances between
the Pates and the whites. He saws
the Plates do not want to go to the
MaIheur or any other reservation. and
If an attempt is m4de to compel
them 10 do so, it will Cause
trouble. The Indians, he states.
do MT. want to leave the country
where they were born and have lived
all toeir lives. Since military post
Was established at Camp NJ ;Dermit his
tribe have lived psaceabiy with the
whites. b fore that time there was
trouble, and he is of the opinion th At
1890 ~ ~ aEba3 a tAO LiO are TO
movei from that post. h has not
been to MeDsrmit. bat once 10 several
years. but be knows that the presence
o. military there has good effsct on
the uurnly members, of his tribe; aud
the reports circulated by the Indian
Agent at Milheur that the Indians re-.
ceive rations from the soldiers aud on
that account will not remain Oh the
reservation, are not true. The FLUTES,
one OF the largest tribes west of the
Rocky Mountains, receive no presents
from the iovernment, and he will not
be responsible.for their good behavior
II the soldiers are removed, AZ there are
bands of them IN several parts OF
Northern Nevada that would be likely
to commit depredations if the military
post is abandoned.
