ALARoR COMMISSION.

A very important measure mas Deeh
introduced by Senator HOAX, OF Massa-
chusetts. in the United States Senate,
providing for the appointment OF ma
tional labor commission. Ii such
measure is undertaken, and placed in
competent hands it will soon prove to
be one OF the most interesting and valu
able departments Of the Government
service.
Such a commission promises to do
more toward an intelligent and compre-
hensive understanding OF the labor
problems that from time to time perplex
and threaten the peace OF the country,
than any that has been mOOted. There
is, in fact, necessity for
commission OF like char
acter in every State, as we have hereto
fore tried TO demonstrate IN the case Of
West Virginia. IL was the pressing
want at the last session of our Legisla-
ture. Everybody wanted to discuss the
condition OF the laboring classes OF our
State, and everybody had hobby
whereby to bring relief. But nobody
had any general data upon which to
base an argument or u proposition. The
fact is that our lawmakers come togcth-
er without any specific information as
to the condition or wants OF the people
and the industries they represent.
Their observation is confined to the
narrow circuit in which each of them
moves. They have no means of looking
ut the condition Of the State as a whole.
A labor commission would furnish
this in a compact form, with all the facts
connected with such a work grouped
together and properly classified. The
duties of such commission are partly
indicated by Mr.. lIoARs bill, though a
State commission would be- set To work
chiefly upon matters relating to the in
tercsts Of the State. This bill provides
llldl lllt NoulllllScolblA III lullN AilN itIoll
as to the extent to which machinerya and
labor-saving processes have displaced
manual labor in the production and dis
tribution OF products in general use, and
whether there are any causes in opera
ton to bring about the ownership and
cultivation of land in large tracts in
stead Of small farms. They are also
to report concerning the condition
of persons employed in agricultural,
mechanical, manufacturing, and mining
labor, and say whether any causes are
at work to change il for better or worse,
Included in the report are to be state
ments concerning the hours OF labor,
the education of laborers' children,
and the proportion OF profits OF bust
moss which labOrers receive.
This will give a general idea OF the
plan which we hope to see adopted by
this and all the States at no distant
day.

THE COMING WHEAT CROP.


An over-prOduction Of wheat next
year Is predicted rs a result of the unu-
sual demand and fair prices that have
ruled this year. The New York Times
publishes some representations upon
the subject from a Kansas farmer, as
follows:
cover a million OF acres, he states,
have this year been broken i'm Nebraska,
Kansas and Texas, with a view to rails
ing wheat crop next year; and the
same tendency is observable in ell the
prairie States. Throughout the entire
West, indeed, farmers are straiulng every
nerve % increase the production OF
wheat. Those who have farms already
in cultivation are directing their atten-
ton almost exclusively 10 this crop.
Other crops are for the time abandoned.
Even stock raising is in many localities
restricted bv arabic farming. The de-
mand for machinery knows no limit;
farmers are buying costly implements,
reIving upon next years profit for the
means Of payment. A mania upon the
subject has, in short, sprung up, and
occasions vast influx of settlers, all in
tent upon growing wheat, and a cultl-
walton of virgin soil on scale never be-
fore known
Upon these representations the Times
bases an argument and issues 4 warning
to the people Of the West against the
policy OF Cutting the market
The Chicago Tribune does not take
any stock in these dismal forebodings as
to the outlook next year, but has an ar
gument OF its own to justify what is
thought will be an excessive production.
1t claims that the farmers OF the West
are driven to it by the prospect that it
will next year require one bushei OF
wheat to pay for the transportation Of
another bushel to the seaboard, and
that they must therefore raise
twice rs much as they expect
to sell to the Eastern and Euro
peau consumers, in addition to what is
needed for home consumption. This is
the actual cOnulUOn rs tOcOrn now, ana
the greed and etrrontery OF the railroad
managers, as attcstCd by the continual
and unreasonable increase in charges,
warrants the belief that they will next
year exact one bushel of wheat forevery
bushel of wheat they transport, unless
Congress in the meantime shall inter
iere to repreSs their rapacity.'
This is talking right plainly at the
railroad companies, and suggests that
Congress might, instead of tinkering
with the finances, spend the present
session in discussing the much mooted
railroad legislation, aud, perhaps, make
q Presidential issue out of that.

We are inclined to endorse the criti-
cism of an exchange, which says that
nothing in journalism has attracted SO
much attention rs the changed condi-
tons OF the New York Time, and T,ib-
UHs. From being the most stalwart and
implacable of Radical journals, the Times
has grown TO be 4 conservative, disni-
fed and fair newspaper. Its comments
on public and political questions are
marked by genuine honesty. The paper

its partisan bias. The Tribune, on the

The Chicago Tribune says that Ger
tain newspapers like the New York

like the Cincinnati COmHerciai, can call
the 'sreenbacks nuisance and an OBJ

all this and peace may still reign; but
let them try to execute their little tinan-
