The bill passed by the Senate on Friday to
establish a labor bureau is modification of
the bill passed by the House on the same
subject The House bill provided for COM
plicated and independent department whose
duty it should be to inquire into almost ev-
erything affecting labor. The Senate struck
out all but the.enacting clause and substituted
assertion providing for commissioner OF labor
who shall be an officer of the interior depart
ment. The Senate bill will probably accom-
pllsh all that is worth accomplishing and at
much smaller cost than the House bill. but
ii is by no means certain that the House will
take kindly to it.

''Richelieu' Robinson has been quiet for
some time probably because no question has
been under discussion of sufficient impor-
lance to rouse his great mind. Saturday,
however, the momentous matter of allowing
an American Ensign to accept decoration
from the Emperor Of Austria was before the
House and Mr.. Robinson plunged into the
arena. After demolishing, one by one, the
crowned heads of the effete monarchies of
Europe he asked the clerk to read the defiD-
ition of the word knight" from Webster's
dictionery. The House, however, insisted
on the previous question which had been Or
dered, and the Speaker ruled that Mr.. Rob,
inson's request was out of order, whereupon
the irate ''tailtwister" exclaimed, ''if you
don't want to listen to Webster or Worces-
ter you can go to the DEVIL" and with this
elegant peroration sat down out of breath
and out of patience.

The municipal elections in Virginia show
pretty conclusively that the chance of the
Republicans to secure the electoral vote of
that State is very slim one. one effect will
be to remove from the National Republican
Convention the temptation to decide the con-
trovercy between the Malone coalitionists
and the straight outs on other considerations
than its merits.

Mr.. Dana of the New York Sun tells a
staff correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
that the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency, whoever he may be, win carry New
York unless the Democrats ''should have a
stroke of genius" between now and Novem-
Der. Speaking of Tilden he said that while
he had no doubt the Gramercy statesman
wouldbe nominated he did not believe he
would stand. Tilden's influence would be
felt considerably in making the subsequent
nomination, but to whom it would be given
Mr.. Dana said he had no idea.

The Albany Journal points out that the
nomination of Butler by the Anti-monopo-
lists and Greenbaekers is fraught with more
danger to the Democratic party than people
generally suppose. In the last Presidential
election, when the canvass was conducted by
50 inexperienced politician as Gen. Weaver,
the National Labor-Anti.M onopoly-G Green
back party threw 100000 votes; and they
were so distributed as to hold the balance of
power in more than one closely contested
State. In 1880 California polled 50, 400 Dem
ocratic votes and $4,000 Republican votes.
The Nationalist cast 8, 400. With so aggres-
sive candidate as Butler there can be
scarcely a doubt that the Nationalist
would draw away enough votes from the
Democrats to give the State to the Republi-
cans. Delaware, which gave only 1000 Dem
ocratic majority, would be likely to show
Republican plurality if Butler were a candi-
date. So Michigan which in 1882 was car
