The New York Journal Of Commerce
boldly expresses the opinion that the
Federal Government ought at once to
recover possession of the vast railroad
land grants long ago lapsed and forfeit
ed. Ii says: The railroad companies
who received these priucely grants, but
have done little or nothing to fulfill the
conditions on which they depend, are
playing dog-in-the-mauger now. They
are unwilling or unready to earn their
only right to the lands by building roads;
and they show their teeth when anybody
else wants the lands for settlement or
utilization. In this way nearly $780,
900, 900 acres are tied up. The govern
ment cannot sell them till the grants are
declared void; and squatters dare not oc-
cupy and improve them for fear that
they will be turned out by the COM
panies

The Chattanooga Times says one rea-
son why the average rate of wages for
iron and steel makers has fallen from
S522 per head per year in 1870 to 1894
per head per year in 1880, is because in
1870 wages were paid in an inflated cur
rency Is per cent under par. Comment
ing on this, the Philadelphia Record says:
saThe reason is a sound one, and reduces
the disparity by making the gold wages
in 1870 S444 per head, instead Of 1922.
but there is $50 per head Of reduction
still unaccounted for. 1t will not do to
say. as the Times does, that the lower
average is caused by the employment Of
cheaper labor-'bOYs, girls and sppren-
tees. In 1880 the efficiency of the labor
EMPLOYED was shown by an output Of 81
tons for each employe, against A. tons
ner head in 1870. There was, therefore,
4 gain Of 81 per cent. in output in 1880
and a loss Of wages More iron was
made per man, and less money was paid
for making it. This is the tendency of
a protective system, which serves to put
a premium on the results Of toll, but not
IN toll itself. The laborer always has

Guiteau's Conviction.


At length the long protracted trial Of
the arch assassin, Guitesu. has come to
an end, the jury have rendered their YER
dict, and that verdict is guilty" This
is as was only TO have been expected. 1t
has been palpable from the first that he
has been enacting the part of a crazy
man, and that when he murdered Presi-
dent Garfield he did it in cold blood, and
only to wreak his vengeance upon the man
who had declined to listen to his absurd
petition for appointment to a responsible
Federal Office. There was not one cir
cumstance connected with the assassina-
ton to show that he was insane On
the contrary, his preparations made be-
forehand to escape mob violence and
his cringing appeal to the Federal
soldiery for protection after the deed, all
went to prove that he was simply a cool,
brutal, cowardly villain, who believed
that if he could only escape lynching
and be brought to trial
he would-on account of the prejudice
which had been excited at the North by
the stalwarts against the administration
escape convection.
The people of the United States will
agree that this is a righteous verdict.
Of course the usual move will be made
By his counsel for a new trial, and every
effort will be put forth to delay the exc
cution as much as possible. But
unless the assassin dies from fear
in the meantime, his hanging may
be accepted as foregone conclu-
sion. 1t will now be interesting to note
whether he will continue his insanity
farce to the end, or whether he will aban-
don himself to despair and die miserably,
like the craven he has shown himself
to be.
