The PrOtectiOnists and the Labor


The tender solicitude for the interests
of the laboriug classes exhibited by the
more protection" convention at Chi
cago has an exemplifcation in the fol-
lowing resolution submitted by mem
Der from New York:
ReS0lUed. That no substantial benefit
could be derived by reducing American
wages to the present level of European
or Asistic countries.
In order to give effect to this PROPOSE
ton, Congress should be urged to adopt
the following joint resolution:
Res0lUed, That in order to protect the
American workingmen and artisan, Eu-
ropean and Asiatic skilled labor should
be and is hereby prohibited.
The only thing the worker for wages
has to protect is his labor, but in that
alone is there ''free trade" The Eu-
ropean and Asiatic come in competition
with him In the mill, the factory and
the shop-at every point; but it never
seems to have entered the heads of the
Chicago tariff people, who professed so
lively an interest in the high wages ques-
ton, that Castle Garden should forth
with be closed in order that the pauper
labor of the Old World should cease to
compete with native industry.

Mayor Grace, of New York, in his
next annual message will make a vigor-
GUS appeal in favor of cutting down the
salaries of the employees of the city
government. which last year aggregated
$4,000, OOO The Mayor finds that there
are innumerable sinecures in the depart
ments and that several million dollars
can be saved annually by looping them
off, without the slightest injury to the
efficiency of the departments. 1t is
likely, however, that Mayor Grace will
have hard work to get the average New
York councilman into his way of think
ing.

THE DEMocRA1Ic PLAN.
Washington Correspondence.


The following statement relative to
tho New York situation is made by
gentleman who claims to know the facts:
A secret conference of prominent demo.
Gratis, with Speaker Randall at the head,
was held last, at which the political stu
alton in New York was carefully consid-
dered. These gentlemen realize that the
peculiar position in which the republican
party has been placed by the action of
the New York senators affords an oppor-
tunity to the democratic party of the ut
most importance in the state. They have
decided to recommend to the democratic
members of the New York legislature
not to enter into any coalition with either
of the republican factions that will ena-
BILE them to fill vacancies occasioned by
the resignation of Conkling and Platt.
They believe that, if the election is post
poned for the new legislature, with the
dissatisfaction that exists, there ID every
chance for securing one, and probably
both, of the senators. Enough has leak
ed ont of this conference to show that it
was partly suggested by Mr.. Tilden,
who promises to take an active part in
the coming election by furnishing the
sinews of war, looking forward to secur-
ing one Of the senatorial prizes for him
sell. ~, It was stated by one of the men,
bereSof the conference that Conkling, in
the event of his failure of reelection, or
that of any of his friends, was ready
to Join forces with the democrats to en-.
able them to elect one or both of the sen.

THE BAD BOYS AND the GOOD OLD MAN.

"Any chestnuts around here?" asked
one OF three boys who met an aged,
benevolent looking farmer out in Mont
gomery county.~ The old man hesitated.
"You don't want to steal 'em 2" he asked.
"Ob, no! We just want to find out"
"Well, there's q few trees back there; but
if thought you wanted to steal them
wouldn't have told you, for the owner
has gone to town. But you are bright,
honest looking boys" The boys blushed
with the pride of conscious goodness
"When will the owner be back?' "Well
not before dark, reckon" The boys
respectfully thanked the old man, waited
till he got out Of sight, jumped the fence
and were soon shaking down the burrs.
The shaking was easy, but the opening
of the chestnut burrs was more difficult
and unpleasant. At last the boys had a
splendid pile of handsome brown nuts
on the ground, and they prepared to pu,
them in the bags they had brought with
them. "Please don't take any more
trouble" said the benevolent old man
who stood by the fence, beaming kindly
on the startled boys. "I'm not SO strong
as once was, and fear that can't hold
in this dog much longer. If you hurr,
though, I guess can keep him here til
you get to the railroad track. Dow,
Tige, sir!' As the boys looked bacl
from the railroad track, they could Sc
the stopping figure of the old man scoop
ing the rich brown chestnuts into two
bushel bag.

THE COLOR LINE AMONG Boo1BLAcks

The bootblacks' union Of st. Louis las
gone through revolution on the color
question. Peg-leg Jerry, the king of the
union, has lost his crown, and Yorkey
Pete reigns in his stead. This change Of
dynasty must be regretted, for Peg-leg
Jerry had many Of the qualities Of an
astute ruler. The crisis was brought
around by the dangerous competition of
the colored boot-blacks. With singular
perspicacity, the king foresaw that the
only safe way to meet the emergency
was to make friends of the mammon OF
unrighteousness by admitting the darkies
to the union. and with this purpose in
dressed as follows: "Now, boys and fell
make speech to you, and I want yez all
to keep still or Ri paste one Of ye in tie
neck, n don't you forgit 1t. You see
there's q lot O. coons bout town that's a

don't like coon no better'n you uns, I
don't, but I'm goin' to work this union
through. Now, all as in favor o. lettin'
the coons in ter the union say Il, A
chorus OF ayes followed, and Jerry con.
tinued: "Carried! Now, then,-" "No
you don't, Jcrrv," interrupted Yorkey
Pete; "you don't rope no coons in on
me. I'm down on the nigger myself, and
amt in for no sech dein's." "Come tc
order, Yorkey, or I'll bust your mouf
When say thing is carried in this
union, it's carried, even if it amt cal.
ried." But even this autocratic announce.
ment failed to intimidate Yorkey Pete
who, after q quiet canvass of his strength
bolted the union and took fifty of its
mem bers with him.

A DUEL BETWEEN EXPERTS.
From the London Telegraph.

A duel was fought at LIE Vesinet to-
day between the Baron de San Malato.
the celebrated italian fencer, whose skill
full, if Gomewhat eccentric, manner of
using the foils, I have already had occa-
sion to mention, and NJ. Pons, a Partisan
fencing master of renown. The quarrel
arose out of some words exchanged be-
tween the oolnbatants during a fencing
bout last week, and an encounter was ar
ranged after some difficulty as to the
choice of arms. It was finally settled
that NJ. Pons should use the ordinary
French dueling sword. and that the
Baron de San Malato should be armed
with triangular foil with IN italian
hilt.
The duel lasted an hour and quarter,
both principals exhibiting immense skill
in handling their weapons, The italian.
