There begin 30 lie signs already OF an EFFORT on
the part Of some Of General Hawley's super
servieeabie friends to nominate him for the
Senate by newspaper discussion before the
election of the Legislature. Letters from
Hartford have recently appeared in various
newspapers as wide apart as Chicago and
Boston, in which Connecticut politics are
treated OF, and by singular coincidence ten
eral Hawloy-other candidates being disposed
of as tricky politicians" etc.-is set up as
unquestiouably and by right the candidate OF
the party for Senator. The same sort OF at
tempt to forestall the action OF the Legislature
has been made on one or two OCCASIONS
heretofore, and the effect, so far as percepn-
bic, has been simply to give the State 10 the
Democrats, and continue General Hawley-
whose leadership of the party has not
been conspicuously successful-ln private
life. The outbreak of this correspondence
at the present time, and the fact thaI
the letters run on all fOurs with those written
in previous years for the same purpose, re-
citing the same old stores and attacking the
same persons, indicate that the same super
serviceable friends of General Hawley are
again at work, aud again dong him and hls
party irreparable mischief. The Republicans
of Connecticut, however. will be wise to
put off the election of Mr.. Banum's sue.
cessor until they are reasonably sure
that they have any such prize to dis-
Dute over ; and as for General Hawley's letter
writing friends, who seem so anxious to con-
yey the impression to the country at large
that he is the only really competent and hon
est person in the State, and that all who diner
are tricky politicians" they would do well
to give q moments heed to the fact that the
party has not heretofore been so strengthened
by his candidacy or his leadership as to make
the wisdom of thrusting him into unnecessary
prominence apparent
1t does not make so much difference
whether General Hawley or Marshall JewellOr
Henry C. Robinson or Henry B. Harrison or
0rvlle II. Plat, or any other of dozen or
more that might be named, be elected to sue
coed Mr.. Barnum. Any one of them would
represent the State creditably. The main point
is to prevent Mr.. Barnum succeeding himself.
A campaign which begins with the assumption
on the part Of General Hawley's friends that
the sole object is to send him to the Senate,
or that he has any prior right to or lien on
the nomination, Is not likely to be distn-
gushed success. There are several other
prominent Republicans In the State, and
some of them will not ENJOY beng
denounced as "triclly. politicians because
their friends have exercised the same
right that General Hawley's friends have
in considering them possible candidates for
Senator. Connecticut may be carried for the
Republicans as against the Democrats; that
it could be carried upon a direct issue for
General Hawley for Senator, no one believes
who knows anything about the State.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR

The Nationals are altogether an oppressed
community, whose platforms and speeches
consist solely of exhortations to revolt against
some shadowy and shapeless tyranny. But
what particular yoke the Connecticut chapter
OF this society expects to break by a
"lecture in the public schools as often
"as once week on the Dignity
"of LabOrn it is even more difficult
than usual to discover. No party, so far as
heard from, is claiming that labor is undig-
nifed, although these same Nationals insist
that hard work and a good deal of it is q
fragrant indignity when perpetrated by China
mon. And what kind of labor is it whose ex-
eeptional dignity is to be asserted and de-
Tended i'm the schO0l-rOOms2 Is il the toll Of
Mr.. Schwab at the spigot Of his beer keg
Ia it the profane wrestling with social and
financial science to which the collarless Kear-
new strips himself7 Is 1t the irregular but
energetic pugiism of Mr.. Theodore Allen Z
Ia it the hand-wOrk of the men in factories
and on farms, or the FRAMEWORK Of the men
in banking houses and lawyers offices
Now, we are not of the opinion that
the world is to be regenerated by lee
tures once week in the public
schools or elsewhere, but yet some very
plain talk from their true friends is what
genuine laboring men need. Both political par
ties have been so long fawInng upon them for
favors, and exuding vague nonsense about
their dignity" that it is little wonder If
some of the more unthinking have imbibed
the notion that somehow they are peculiar
people, with supernatural rights and priv
leges, whose demands are to be acceded
To as matter of course, and without
argument. How can it well be otherwise when
all their follies have found fluent excusers,
and when even the violence and rioting which
armed mobs have carried on in their name
have met with prompt and jealous justifca-
ton Surely the questions between employ
ers and employed are grave enough without
embarrassing them with such foolish counsel

imminent than in Russia the pressure OF mill
tary imperialism will be brought to bear
upon the disafIected and insubordinate classes
of society. Prince Bismarcks blu for the re-
preston of Socialism is more carefully drawn
than the ill-digested act which was thrown CUT
by the last Roichstag, but it is the most sweep
ing measure ever proposed in the Fatherland-
It authorizes the central authorities IN the
Federal States to prohibit public meetings Tor
a year, to prevent the sale of inter6icted pub
lications, to restrict the purchase or possession
of arms, to expel unemployed persons and
SOeialistic agents, and to fine and imprlson
printers, booksellers aud innkeepers; and II
creates an Imperial Bureau for enforcing
these regulations. This is an extraordi-
nary measure, and in order to secure
its passage in the new Reiehstag the
Chancellor stands ready to yield his ground IN
the great conflict with the Vatican. de has
adopted methods of repression and coercion
that are essentially Russian. The German
steel has a finer grain and higher temper than
the Russian iron, but it has the same hard
metallic ring.

Union, will stiIl pursue cautious course, fear
ing that the great stock of silver in Germany
may be used to derange their currency. The
moment is not opportune for currency changes
abroad, and blmetallists must only learn " to
labor and to wait"
All the world and the rest OF mankind nave
long known that Controller Kelly and Com
missioner Campbell were not upon the best
of terms, personally or politically;
but the report of the latter official
diseIOses a state of things which the
wayfaring man was not prepared to
witness. II seems that Mr.. Campbell had his
attention attracted to an asphalt pavement
which has stood the test of six years use IN
another city, and wished to lay short piece
of it in downtown street for the
purposes of a trial. This would seem to be
reasonable desire. Mr. Campbell is Com
missioner of Public Works, and has the pave
ments in charge he is q professional engineer
Of high standing, and knows all about pave
ments If he considered pavement good
enough to try, nOn-professional officials mightat
least have allowed him to make an inexpensive
experiment. But Mr.. Kelly stepped in and
said "No." Whereupon Mr.. Campbell OBJ
serves, in q caustie manner, that the Con-
troller's objection was "eyidently made with
" cut any knowledge of the subject"
The views of distinguished Georgia Re-
publican, given elsewhere, upon the probabd-
ity of Democratic split IN the South, deserve
careful reading everywhere, but especially IN
Washington. His description of the contest
between two Democrats in his district for
election to Congress- contest which Is
pointed out in a letter printed in our Washing
ton dispatches as sign of Democratic dissolu-
tion-may serve to show how much reality there
is in these prophecies. This is simply a low
quarrel between two rivals for an office. There
is no National or public question of any sort
involved. Each wants the salary, the lnhu-
ence and the name of the position, and each
is trying to earn it by Notwithstanding the
other. This is not the sort of split that has
been promised us-one side for BOurbOnisn,
the other side for political progress and gen
eral enlightenment. Mr.. Sherman says there
is 80 little to choose between the two men that
he shall vote for neither of them. Evidently
the Wing millennium is yet to begin.

GENERAL HAWLEY'S SUPERSERVICEABLE
FRIENDS.

Connecticut is one Of the States which figure
in the calculations Of both parties as offering
a fair probability of Republican gains at the
coming November election. The State has
always held a sort Of pivotal position In pol
tics 80 very nicely balanced between tho par
ties that the slightest change in public senti-
ment was sure 70 register itself there first.
All the warnings of sweeping political
changes have come from that quarter. During
the first years of Republican ascendancy in
the nation, her State officers and Legislature,
both United States Senators, three out of four,
and sometimes all four of her Congressional
delegation, were Republicans; but the State
was always close Notwithstanding, and each
year the Republicans were forced TO a hand
to-hand fight to keep their position and hold
what had been gained. 1t was only by hard
work and unceasiDg vigilance, by laying aside
petty differences and subOrdinatiDg per-
sonal ambitions that they succeeded in
keeping the State right. In 1867 they
lost the State officers for the first time
in fourteen years. General Hawley being the
Republican candidate for a second term. Since
that time, with occasional exceptions, when
the Republicans we're assisted by some spec
tally fortunate conditions, the State has slowly
but steadily fallen back into the hands of the
Democracy, but with such stubborn resist
anee from the Republicans that we
believe the former have never in any
single year carried both branches of
the Legislature with their State ticket.
Their progress has been such, however, that
they have to-day both United States Senators
and three of the four Congressman. 1t is the
hope Of Connecticut Republicans to be able in
November to carry at least two of the four
Congressional districts and a majority of the
Legislature, which win elect successor TO
Senator Barnum. The fact that they have
carried the Legislature now for three years in
succession gives them confidence to believe
that with proper effort and a reasonable de-
gree of harmony they eau carry the Legisla
ture, even against Senator Baruum's money
and management.
This cannot be done, of course, without
united hard work and entire harmony in the
party. The pendency of the Senatorial cleo
ton, which makes 1t more important to have
perfect harmony, unfortunately makes 1t more
difficult TO obtain. There is danger that
discussions in the party upon the Senatorial
question before the election may be 80 fatal
that it will DO found after the votes are
counted that Mr. Barnum has quietly
picked mp the prize, and there is no
Senatorship for Republicans TO quarrel over.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1878-08-20

And then laborers have every thing to lose
and nothing to gain by trying to occupy some i'm
possible position in the clouds. Hany course Of
Lectures could be devised by Connecticut
Nationals or by any one else which would I'M
press upon the IaboriBg man the fact that no
legislation can insure to the idle and thriftless
and ignorant and deprayed the gains which
result from industry and prudence and skin
and uprightness of character, and that
there is nothing so dignifed or sancti.
fed or mystical in labor of the
hands that the laws of the universe viii sus,
pend themselves in its favor, he would be
troubled less about his " dignity and about
getting emancipated" than he now is, and
he would find more active sympathy and
efficient aid. He certainly cannot compel q
patient hearing until he comes down on the
solid ground with definite propositions which
he is prepared to argue in the language used
by men of this world who talk business.
The laborer suffers real hardships, but
he gains nothing by inventing imaginary
ones. He has rights; but he gains nothing
by demanding worship. He has duties, too,
and when he shuts off the meaningless decla-
nation Of his self-constituted avengers about
the Dignity of Labor, and acknowledges the
binding force of these duties, he will be in a
position to make conquering demand upon
other men to recognize his rights and to per-
form the duties which they owe him.

According to a curious story brought in by
our political reporters, those estimable gen.
Hemen, Messrs. Elliot C. Cowdin and l..
Bradford Prince, are about to organize a
Hayes party IN the State of New-fork.
Experienced politicians Will regard the pub
iished programme with some reserve-not yet
understanding precisely why a Hayes party is
needed in our campaign for Congressman and
Legislature, or why precisely those gentle
men should organize it.
