We notice that the printers and book

have inaugulatod q movement TO secure
an increase in their pay. In so doing we
think they are in the right, and We tust
that their efforts will prove successful
Whm Congress, under the lead of Holman,
the Great American Spigot Economist cut
down the wages of the printers and binders
in the Government Pruting-ofice the
prices OF provisions, clothing, etc, were at
the lowest notch they have touched sincC
the close Of the war Now, however, the
prices of all family ncccssarics are largely
on the advance, aud the most of them are
thirty per cent higher than they were four
or FIVE years ago. Hence it costs just that
much more to live here now than it did
then and, therefore, all persons in public
or private employ here have to pinch and
pare and cconomi1e at every possible point,
in order TO make both ends meet at the end
Of the year. This ought not to be SO. A
great Government like ours, and especially
a Govcumcnt formed "by the people and
for the people, should not Cypress and dis
tysss its employees in any branch Of the
lubic service in order to have y heavy
balance in its favor at the end Of tho year.
1t should pay all its servants so literally
that there will be no occasion for com
plaint And Senators and Representatives
in Congress should remember that the eS.
ample of Government has great weight
with large employers in fixing the wages
of their employees. Its example, therefore,
should be such that mechanics and opera
tivcs Of all classes win he benefited. The
prosperity of the middle classes Of
country means the prosperity Of all classes
and when our mechanics and operatives
are earning good wages the beneficial eff
fects are felt in every avenue Of business
life. All classes, therefore, are interested
in seeing that farmers mechanics, opera
tives and laborers do earn living wages
for their prosperity asgcs the prosperity of
everybody else
Therefore, as we have already said, we
trust that this movement Of the Govern

ccssiul, aud that their wages will 20 in

JUDGE Cox, in his decision upon the
law points presented by counsel on both
sides in the Guiteau case, maintains in
fexibly the lofty logic of the position he
assumed at the start, He set out upon the
theory that, whatever might be the acri
mony Of public camor or however fierce
the denuuciation of the press, Guiteau was
nothing but common murderer in the
eve of the law and must be tried as such
that his constitutional privileges and legal
rights must be respected Just rs much as
though his victim had been the humblcst
citizen.
To this wise aud patriotic theory, Judge
Cox has steadily conformed every proceed
