 In the death of Alexander Macdonald, M.

He was the first direct representative of trades unions ever elected to the House of Commons. A salary of twenty-five hum dred dollars year was paid him for his services out of the funds of the trades unions he represented. He sat in Parlia- ment seven years, during which time he faithfully represented the interests of Labor and defended the rights of Trades Unions. His life is credit to himself and an honor to the workingmen whom he rep resented.
 The International Labor Congress as- sembled in Turner Hall, Pittsburg, Pa., on Tuesday of last week. Ninety dele gates were present from Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Mis- souri, California, Maryland, Indiana, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, representing 22O, GOO workmen. MT. John Jarrett was elected permanent Chairman. The Congress continued in session four days. The object of the Congress was to effect federal organization, which was accomplished. Resolutions were passed denouncing prison labor as detrimental to the interests of honest mechanics, and demanding the repeal of the law known as the ''Conspiracy Act," as far as it relates to labor organizations regulating their own wages. Sympathy with the working men of Ireland was also expressed. Here after sessions will be held annually on the third Tuesday in November at such places as the delegates may select.

A burglar entered the residence of Rev. Dr. Gage on Asylum avenue, Sunday eve silk dresses and collected quantity of the Doctors own clothing. A little after 8 o'clock Dr. Gage entered his house and surprised the burglar, who attempted to rush past him and escape. Dr.G. clasped him from behind, held his right arm so that he could not use the pistol he had drawn, and the two struggled out into the front yard where assistance came and the burglar was secured and marched to the station house. We haven't heard whether the Doctor invoked divine assistance or not, in his capture of the sinner. Ger tainly it seems to have been as complete lob as though he did. Perhaps he was eatisAed with the text-The Lord helps those who help themselves.

What Others Say.

We are glad to announce the birth of 8 Labor paper in Connecticut. The press in that state is all in the hands of the enemy. Attempts at Labor journalism in Connecticut have been made before, but have always either died in their infancy or gone over for the ''loaves and fshes." The Examiner, which is the name of the new born, is in the hands of earnest men, whose only desire is to help on the cause of Labor. It is not financial venture, but an attempt of a number of self-sacrihcing devoted men, who want to give the work ingmen of Connecticut paper in which their needs shall be heralded and their wrongs stated. But whether the Examiner shall live and be 8 power or dwindle and die failure, depends on the workingmen themselves If the masses in that state will only give half the support to their own paper that they give to the enemy, it will be able to live and be power to pro- claim their rights and expose their wrongs, as we'll as the Boston Advertiser and New York Tribune defends the interests of the capitalists.

 The Stondard is the first friend of In- dustr1al emancipation to extend THE Ex- AM1NER hearty journalistic welcome. We grasp thy honest hand friend Gunton, and whilst thanking thee for thy kindly greet ing and complimentary introduction, we assure thee, thou shalt never have occa- sion to chronicle our betrayal of the trust conf1ded in us. Whether our efforts shall meet the approved, and be seconded by those for whom we came into existance, time can only tell; but there is one thing time never can tell, whether unaided by friends or allured by enemies, that we went to our grave with dishonor.

 We hope for the sake of our country and it's name, which is yet revered by some, that it may prove otherwise; but certainly the uuprovoked attack of Sergeant Mason, and his utterly insignificant and senseless ex- cuse together with the mysterious affair of the man on horseback, affords ample ground for suspicion when we come to re- fleet that the assassin is now secure in the hands of justice with no earthly chance of escape.

A Biographical sketch of President
Garfield's Successor.
Gen. Chester y. Arthur, who, by the
decease of President Garfield, becomes
Chief Magistrate of the United States,
was born in FARMLAND county, Yer
mont, on October 5, 1880. He is the
oldest son of the late Rev. Dr. William
Arthur, q Baptist clergyman, who emf
grated to this country from the county
Antrim, Ireland, in his 18th year, and
who was an eminent writer as well as
pulpit orator, his work ON Family
Names being universally regarded as
one of the curiosities of English erudite
literature. His other son is q pay
master in the regular army, with the
rank of Major.
Gen. Arthur was educated at Union
College, and graduated in the class OF
40. After leaving college he taught
country school during two years in
Vermont, and then, having managed by
rigid economy TO save about $500, he
started for New York and entered the
law office of Judge E. d. Culver as q
student. After being admitted to the
bar he formed a partnership with Henry

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Lo-
gan and Don Cameron are very positive
in their opinion that President Arthur
will convene the Senate in special ses1
sion very soon. They spoke so positive
on this subject that 1t is supposed they
have had information to that effect from
President Arthur. At the late Senator
Burnside's funeral in Providence several
days ago, Messrs. Logan and Cameron
told other senators present that if the
President died there would be an extra
session of the senate without delay. Sen

here tonight to take charge and direct

with the funeral. There being no pre-.

will retain their positions until Congress-
