Bidding for the Workingmen's Vote.


The New York Legislature is consid-
ering some very unusual measures this
session. The Republicans, who are in the
majority, seem to be aiming to catch the
workingmen's vote. 1t is certain that
they are not particularly anxious to i'm
prove the condition of the workIngmen
because it ought to be improved. Doubt
less they have a selfish purpose in view.
They are now considering a bill for limit
ing the working time of street car drivers
and conductors to twelve hours a day.
They propose, however, 10 insert cOndi-
ton in the bill that drivers and conductors
NAV work more hours day if they want TO.
A bill with this condition will not be worth
much to those It is intended to benefit,
because if the street car companies want
longer hours OF labor they VIII employ
only those who are willing to work more
than twelve hours.
Another bill under consideration pro-
hibits the construction of any public
building in the State of stone not cut in
the State. This is for the benefit of the
New York stone cutters. If this bill
should become a law the State would have
to nav whatever price the stone cutters
asked, if it undertook to erect building.
Competition would be prevented. This
bill certainly gives the stone cutters all
the protection they could possibly desire.
In their efforts to gain the good will of
the workingmen at the present time, the
New York Republicans are doubtless pre-
pared to make any concessions. The con-
cessions are not the occasion of so much
complaint as the object for which they
are made. If the stone cutters of New
York are entitled to be protected against
the competition of the stone cut
ters of other States, then all
classes of workmen whose work comes
in competition with that of like classes of
other states are entitled to protection,
and they will not be slow in demanding
it. This idea of protection is so firmly
imbedded in the minds of the people of
some Of the Northern states that they
would doubtless favor levying duties Ell
products of other States, which find
market In their States, If it were not for
the prohibition contained IN the Constitu-
ton. 1t seems a little curious that the
Republican party, which has always fos-
tered monopOlies, should so suddenly
take so deep an interest in legislation for
the amelioration of the condition of work.

unenrned Land Grants.


The Democratic House is entitled to the
credit of passing bills FORGETTING unearneo
land grants. 1t remains to be seen WhaI
the Republican Senate viii do. during
the whole OF the Forty-seYenth Congress
this land grant question was pending
The Judiciary Committees of the House
and Senate had it under consideration.
Some Of the Republican members were in
favor of declaring the grants forfeited,
but they were in the minority. 1t was
clearly the purpose Of the Republicans to
protect the claimants of these grants
There was no strong argument to sustain
their position. They didn't pretend 10
offer any argument. They simply refused
TO act. giving one reason or another lot
DELAY. If they had retained control OF
the House. il is about certain that they
would have continued to delay action.
That these grants ought to be forfeited
there is no question. They embrace hun
dreds Of thousands of acres IN southern
and Western States. These Janus are
kent ont Of the market. The Secretary oil
the Interior has refused, ana
still refuses to sell them until
Congress- settles the veXed question OF
ownership. In fact, he cannot safely give
a patent to them as long as the govern
menCs right to them is questioned. The
claimants. in most cases, are the rep
resentatives of dissolved railroad COM
panies. They have no intention Oh
building the roads in aid OF Whlch
the lands We're donated, but II they
were permitted they would continue to
hold the lands with the hope that they
could eventually make something out OF
them. This policy would prevent the
lands from being settled upon and I'M
proved. and would be injurious to the
States in which they are located. Con-
gresham Holman, in an able letter whlch
was widely circulated, pointed out the IN
iquities OF this unearned land grant bust
ness last summer. To him is due, IN
great measure, the prompt action Of the
House in passing the fOrfeiting bills.
It is worthy of notice that the Texas
Pacific grant is included in the forfeited
list. Mr.. Huntington finds that his lob
bving methods are not successful IN this
Congress. He has been doing his best to
get this Texas racine grant II CVii-
prises about 100000 acres, and his
southern Pacific Railway runs through
it. This is the grant that Tom Scott is
alleged to have paid several hundred
thousand dollars to Congressman to oh
tain. If the Senate is as sincere in pro-
tecting the interests of the government as
the House has shown itself to be, there

On Thursday last Charles Cope, the
nineteen year-old-son of Charles Cope, ST.,
q wealthy gentleman residing on Roland
avenue, Baltimore, and Miss Mary Porter,
of the same age, and daughter of poor
widow residing in the neighbOrhood, were
married by the Rev. A. d. Melvin. The
young couple remained at the house of a
friend until Saturday, when the young
husband was arrested by the order of his
father. and, being taken before Justice
Dorsey, was committed to the House of
Refuge as incOrrigible and beyond his fa-
theirs control. The lad obtained a writ of
habeas corpus and expects to be released.
Although the young wife is Catholic
and her husband is a Protestant, it is
thought that his fathers objection is
founded upOn the poverty of the family.
