led to believe, soon. With the friends we
have, and those we may gain in two years
among the members of the next General As
sembly, can we not expect this reform then?
3. The prohibition of child labor was
thing an xiously looked for, and in this we
have been measurably gratified. Senator
BailsV's bill on this subject, as originally in
trcduced, prohibited children under fourteen
years from working ia mines, factories and
workshops. This gentleman made'a long'snd
earnest fight. ably assisted by several of his
colleagues, but finally the age was reduced
to twelve. and, with some amendments made
in the House. the measure became law.
4. A bill introduced by Senator Wier,
compelling the payment Of wages in lawful
currency every thirty days, and giving me-
cbanics and laborers first lien upon prop
erty for work done thereon, was passed with
very little opposition by both branches and
is now law. The business of this thing can
lily be disputed. Senator Bailey had intro
duced bill largely modelled after the truck
law" Of Pennsylvania, but considering the
one above referred to as more stringent upon
the employer, and accordingly more liberal
to the employe, he abandoned his own and
warmly advocated the passage OF the one in.
troduced by Senator Wier. House bill 33S,

ment, was lost in the hurry OF business and
did not become law.
8. The promise regarding the enforcement
of laws against pauper importation under
the passage contract system, was fully
redeemed in the bill introduced by Senator
Bailey, No. 315. Its provisions are, in the
main, the same as those embraced in the
bill introduced in Congress, applicable, of
course, to the State OF Indiana, and absolutely
prohibit, under pain of heavy penalty, the

On, NO. There was nothing wrong in the
departments, say the Republican organs,
under the administration of their party.
Every now and then, however. there are in
dications of some rottenness under the old
regime. We get some information from q
recent Washington dispatch, which runs
thus: THE Commissioner of Pensions has
directed the suspension at the Philadelphia
agency of 102 pensions which have been
drawn although the pensioners are dead. In
some cases, the Commissioner says, the per-
sons in whose names the pensions were
drawn have been dead since 1871. He has
also directed the suspension at the same
agency Of pensions TO seven widows who re-
married in 1881, but have continued to draw
pensions ever SINCE"
Upon the foregoing information the Chi
csgo Times remarks: 1.-THE Commissioner
has laid these cases before the Attorney Gen.
eral, whom he has requested to bring suit
pgainst the Pension Agent and his bonds.
men for the moneys thus unlawfully dis
bursed. Proper energy in this direction will
doubtless reveal a very rotten state of things
in the pension business. How the bureau at
Washington has been run for the past four
years was Sufficiently indicated by the doings
of Dudley during the last campaign, and the
subsequent revelations concerning him; and
while Encouragement SO shamefully char
acterized the bureau, there is not much
doubt that the sub-ofices will bear investigs-
tioD." The Republican organs should not
sound much hilarisns music until they are
farther along through the woods. Wait for
q tHelYemonth at least.

LABOR AND THE LEGISLATURES.

We are glad to note that while Republi-
can editors were misreDresenting the last
Legislature that the lsboring men, through
their newspaper, the Crisis, of this city, were
watching the actions Of that body with the
eye of an eagle. In the last number of the
Democratic majority of the Legislature lived
squarelY up the platform promises OF the
party. The five promises OF the party upon
the labor question were as follows:
l.. The strict enforcement of the National Eight
hour law as well as the reduction in the number
OF hours in day q labor on all pubic worE, State

the United States and that mechanics and lKboT-

5. The enforcement OF laws against Chinese
Immigration and the importation OF pauper labor

Now, we call the attention of our readers
TO the iulillment OF these promises SO far as
it could be reached by the Democratic major

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

Nothing is so ecstatic to the opposition and
its organs as 10 give cut the idea that the
New York Democracy are all torn up into
shreds and patches. To know that Tamnany
is dissatisfied, and that Mr.. John Kelly has
the dumps, is sufficient to give them tremors
of the most delightful sort. Mr.. John
Treanor. of New York, who was
associated with the National Democratic
Committee during the last campaign, was in
Washington day or two ago and sums up
all this talk about the New York Democracy
as follows: Il have mingled with the lesd-
ing men of the several factions Of New York,
and there is almost unanlmity of expression
in favor OF the administration. have talked
with the most prominent Tammany men.

Sheriff Davidson, who represents Irving Hall,
and 1 have heard the county Democracy
leaders express themselves. All Of them
ars delighted with the conduct OF the sd-
ministrstion so far. There is more harmony.
more cordial party feeling, within the Demo
cratic party of New York now than ever,
and it is all owing To the good sense of
the President and his Cabinet. Why, ihe
administration is but eight weeks old, and
our folks have not expected that within that
short time everything could be done. l give
you my word there is no dissatisfaction
among New York Democrats. l have heard
more criticism of the administration the
few hours 1 have been in Washington from
men who are disappointed abo1t office than
has been uttered by all the Democrats of
New York. Our folks think the admins.
tIation is doing just right"
This opinion should be satisfactory on the
point. No one appreciates the vaue of haT-
mony among the New York Democracy SO
highly as Mr. CleYsland, and we may be sure
that he will dosllin his power TO preserve the
utmost good feeling in that direction. A more
important mstter for the Republicans to
consider is how TO persuade or drive back
into their ranks the thousands of these who
strsyed from the Republican party because
Of the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
