Labor at Home and Abroad.

Agriculture laborers receive in this
country from 81 to IS a week. In England
they receive from S3.25 to SIS per week.
Carpenters earn S11.83 per week in the
United States, against 1884 per week in
England. Plumbers, SlS per week in the
United States and 1913 per week in Eng
land. Masons, S13.37 per week in the
United States and 1854 per week in Eng
land. Masons' laborers obtain SS.13 in
the United States and S6.56 in England.
In cabinet making, chairmakers average
S11 per week in the United States, and $S.75
per week in England. Carvers average
S12.33 per week in the United States,
against $3.50 per week in England.
Pclishers receive Sl0.25 per week here in
comparison with S7@S.50 obtained on the

should think that their position here offers
a more unfavorable comparison with their
sister workers abroad, we may state before
closing that ordinary dressmakers are rated
as earning S7.43 per week in the United
States against 404.50 per week in Great
Britain.

New YORK, according to the Herald, is
the pivotal State in politics. This is in
direct a~ntagonism to Pennsylvania claim
to the same effect. Going back to the first
popular election held in the State for Pres
ident, it shows that at the elections of 1927,
1881, 1885, 1889, 1S43, fs47, 1851, 1856,
1859, 1868, 1867. 1871 and 1875, the years
preceding Presidential elections, the result
Of the following year was distinctly fore
Swallowed. In other words, as the State
goes the year before a Presidential election,
SO it goes the next year. In every case.
except the years in which the State was
carried against Buchanan and Grant, the
choice Of New York was also the choice of
the country.

The session of the Legislature for 1879
has closed, a fact that should be q subject
of congratulation to the people Of the
State. No Legislature, since Nevada has
become a State, had q better opportunity
to contribute something to the history Of
our State legislation Of which we might
feel proud; rome has had such opportnni-
ties 70 make q creditable record, and zone
have ever cast its opportunities aside SO con-
tcmptuously. It's members, when elected,
were supposed to more thoroughly repre-
sent the views of their constituents than
eny ever elected heretofore. But how
have they represented the people? They
called for relief. but what measure OF relief
has been afforded In what respect have
they lessened the burdens under which
we are now struggling? When every con-
Bideration demanded the adoption of a
well-defned and well-digested law to check
railroad monopoly. this Legislature
adopted q shilly-shallying policy, well cal
culated, and probably intended, to aggra-

mustered courage to say what it did not
believe 10 be just, but either through a
lack Of courage or mercenary considers
tons, failed to say what it did believe to
be correct. Some substitute for the Wood
burn or Lewis bills could have been found,
had they so desired, which would have
been just, alike to the railroads and to the
people. Sometimes, in the case OF indi-
viduals, it happens that after an evil life,
the approach Of evening recalls the evil
doer to his better thoughts, and not un-
frequently they make their exit by trying
to win the good opinion Of their contem-
poraries. We waited for the latter days Of
the legislature, family hoping that the
prospect Of dissolution might induce it to
make an effort to die decently and in order.
That faint hope is extinguished. Regard
less alike Of pledges or public opinion, it
has died like a drunkard in his cups. One
good result has been accomplished-the
people Of Nevada have learned whom they
can trust.
