Persons who complain Of the low rate of
wages at home should read the reports
made by the United States consuls at Cork
aud Dublin Of the rates paid in Ireland at
the present time. Skilled mechanics get
81 Sc day, or less than our city laborers.
who receive 81 80 per day. On the public
works there the pay Is from 4S to GO cents
per day. Machinists are paid 81 90 and
masons, joiners, painters and shoemakers
81 Il per day. The railway conductors re-
ceive from GO cents to 81 o. q day, while
here, on the street railroads. they get 81 or
50 SO. Other occupations are paid in about
the same proportion. The mechanics and
laborers here are not of course to be COM
pared to those of Ireland or England,
because in the United States their
self-respect is increased, their style of iv-
ing improved and their wants and ex-
penses greater. Here they enjoy equal
rights with all other classes, md, while
they deserve it are just as much respected
MS the wealthiest citizens. But it may
serve to make the working classes more con-
tented to be reminded how much better off
they are than their toiling brethren in other
countries. The laborer is always worthy of
his hire, and whether at home or abroad he
is entitled to be fnirly remuneratod for o
fair days work. In the United States
especially wages should always rate as high
AZ the profits to capital from the work per-
formed will warrant When more than this
il demanded it means simply destruction
to the business TINT employs labor.

passed away before they take their places IN
Congress?
1t is because they arc thus impractical
that the labor organizations are the con-
tempt of our politicians. 1t is pity that it
should be so. for if they were wise the labor
organizations of the country could make
themselves felt for the good of the whole
country. Eight hundred and seventy
thousand votes, if they elect ignorant men
or demagogues, waste their force. But If
they should unite to send to Congress
men of conspicuous ability they
would WELD a prodigious influence.
To do that. however. it would be
necessary that the workingmen should first
have the wisdom to see that while they may
keenly feel the effects of bad legislation
and general mismanagement Of public
affairs it by no means follows that they
know what are the proper remedies. A
workingmen's party ought, therefore, to
begin its campaign by calling to its assist
ance the ablest economists Of the
country; it should take their advice as
to the nature of remedial measures;
should ask them to write its platforms and
to point out its candidates should send
to the rear tho demagogues who now SO
regularly come to the front, and should
elect as many men of conspicuous ability
and acknowledged high character as they
can. If they began in this way The working
men would draw to them great mass OF
other votes, and would make themselves
masters of the political situation and confer
u huge benefit on the country.
Unfortunately this is precisely what they
do not do. We do not know Of single in
stance in this country in which working
mems association has counselled with men
whose studies have made them masters OF the
problems which the workingmen seek to
solve. It seems to be taken for granted
that when miners, or cotton spinners or
locomotive engineers, or any other class OF
laboring men feel themselves uncomfortable
and believe themselves wronged, they have
only to "organize" and Providence will
at once supply them with brains,
knowledge, experience, skill and all the
results which only long and careful study
give to other men. In free country the
majority rules, of course but it will not
be o majority unless it calls brains to its
assistance When we sec workingmen' s
party begin its operations by engaging the
help of the ablest economists in the land
as its advisers, following their advice
as to remedial measures, and taking pride
in their help and leadership. then we shall
know that tho workingmen arc at last .
power and then they will begin to rule.
Until then they do not deserve to-. .

General w.rrea,. Prets.t.

Among the soldiers criticised by ex-Presi-
dent Grant, as reported in the HERALD's now
famous Hamburg letter, was General G.
X. Warren. and to-day we publish a
dignifed protest from the pen Of
that prominent officer. General Warren
not only denies that he was in any way re-
sponsible for the failure ut Petersburg after
the mine explosion, but calls attention to the
fact that General Hancock's Court OF Inquiry
upon the failure charged no part Of the re-
sponsibility upon him. He also claims
that he was not only not relieved at Five
Forks until after the battle ceased. but that
no led the final attack which completed the
victory. He declares that there was no
cause for removing him for misconduct, and
that because he could have proved this
before court of inquiry General Grant
would never allow him that opportunity.

The Yoangest Nation 40 the Oldest
sGod made of one blood all nations OF
men for to dwell OF all the face of the
the EARTH" says the Christian Scripture ;
and it must have struck the Chinese AM
bassador oddly when he landed in San Fran
cisco yesterday that a nation which sends
missionaries to his country to persuade his
people of the truth of the Bible
should send hoodlums and ruffians
to its wharves to insult him on his arrival.
When an American or European envoy,
traveller or missionary is hooted or ihsulted
in Chinese city we complacently ascribe
that to the barbarism and ignorance OF
the Chinese, and if the offence Is
too glaring we send msn-of-~T 70
demand an apology and damages. II
an American Ambassador should land IN
Chinese port and find the imperial officers
carefully absent and himself received by
an insulting mob he would report the mat
ter to his government, and would probably
describe the Chinese officers as set OF
semi-barbarous and ignorant Doors.
Well, we know now how it is ourselves.
Not federal officer appeared yesterday to
receive the Chinese Embassy yet the AM
bassador is probably in his way far more
civilized human being than most OF the
federal officers in San Francisco. He prob
ably knows much more Of our knowledge
than they know of his; and he comes from
nation which, while it has sent US
MANY thousands of its lowest and most
abject laboring class, has never sent us
man who could not read and write his own
language. We hope the Secretary OF State
will instruct federal officers that they shall,
for the credit of the country, pay the Gus
tomary and proper respect to the Chinese
Embassy. We may not like the Chinese in
California, but we pretend to be Christians
and civilized beings, and something is due
to our self-respect.

1t is plain by the budget Of extracts from
German journals which we give in another
column that tho social democrats are not
panio-stricken by the agitation that has
been made against them in the Fatherland,
but mean to contest with all their might
the elections appointed for July 80. Much
has been said Of the excitement that ragged
in tho country against this party because IT
was held responsible for the attempts to
murder the Emperor, and indeed the gen.
eral reports have pictured an era of denun-
citation and prescription in Germany pre-
cisely such as existed in France in the war
of 1870, when men were hunted down in all
the cities and villages because it was alleged
they were Germans 1t appears now that
it is only necessary Tor O charge to be made
that a man is socialist to procure on his
behalf the most extrayagant attentions of
the police. But the journals in sympathy
with the party which 1t is thus attempted
to stamp out tell the story of the stoutness
with which the course Of the government is
met Persecution is sure Of course to pro-
woke reaction. Germany.is naturally weary
of the military system, for she feels that il
was enough for it to conquer the foreign
enemy. and that it goes little Too far when
used mainly tor repression at home. Feel
ing thus the country is very apt to slip into
the notion that patriotism and opposition
to the government at Berlin are the same
thing. An extravagant course Of conduct
continued indefinitely at the capital would
foster that notion in the public mind and
thereby greatly affect the elections. II will
not astonish the public generally. there
fore, to learn That by nm intelligent estimate
OF the probable result of the elections the
government will be when they are over just
where it was before the Parliament was dis
solved--that is, at the mercy of the national
liberals. Without this party it cannot turn
straw, and it cannot get the cooperation
of this party for mere brutal repression.

cscdingly heavy in the lake regions, particularly

nj over four inches. The temperature has risen
IN the Northwest and West. Elsewhere there has
been a general fall Strong north to northwest
winds prevail on tho western margin Of the de-
