Solution of Labor Troubles.

From the Chicago News.
The troubles between capital and
labor have reached point beyond
philosophy and beyond reason, and
some more direct and energetic means
for the solution of the questions grow
ing out of them is demanded alike by
the capitalist and the laborer. 1t
does not need to be admitted to be
believed that in many cases the de-
mands of capital are exacting and
often bordering on the inhuman, as is
the case in the Hooking valley of
Ohio; and in an equally large num-
Der of cases laborers are exorbitant
and outrageous in their demands, as
is evidenced by the failure Of Oliver
Bros. d Phillips, of Pittsburg, who
were paying larger wages than their
manufactured product could be sold
for. To such an extent have the tur-

: The Collapse of a State.

The State of Nevada has collapsed.
1t never was much of a State. 1t
never should have been admitted in
to the union. The enabling act
Of March, 1864, was one of the
most culpable follies of the Re-
publican party. 1t swindled the other
States by giving two senators and a
representative in congress to a mining
camp among barren mountains.
After sixteen years the population
of Nevada had grown to but 81, 266,
of whom 1858 were foreign born,
and nearly 10000 were Chinese and
Indians. Since 1880 apparently at
least third of the 80, 556 whites have
emigrated. A very large majority Of
the inhabitants are males. The CEN
sus of 1880 gave the proportion Of
males to females as much more than
two to one. But in the presidential
election last month the State cast only
1877 votes. It's three electoral
votes were given to Blaine-one for
every 1926 voters. IF they had been
given to Cleveland what a howl the
Blaine Republicans would have raised
about the disproportion as compared
with Illinois, Ohio, or Pennsylvania
What shall be done with collaps-
ed State' Is not q constitutional
amendment desirable to extinguish
it' Is it just that the other States
should tolerate the monstrous politi-
cal power Nevada exercises in con-
gress. and the electoral college any
longer than may be needful to cor
rect 1t by due process of lawi 81
But the extinguishment of any
State is very serious matter. And
the continuance of any State in the
monstrous condition of Nevada is a
very serious matter also.-New York
Herald.

Railroad.

The article from the Grand Rapids
Eagle, to which we referred in our
last issue, is as follows:
at is evident that the people Of
Muskegon are getting thoroughly
aroused on the subject of securing
competition in the matter Of railroads,
and speak of another proposed line
between these two cities. COMPETE
ton is all very well and quite desira-
BILE, but we say to the people Of Mus
kegon, that now, while thoroughly
aroused is the time to look forward to
the future, and if possible secure new
fields from which to derive sustenance
in the years to come. Look over the
map of our State moment. Away
to the northeast, almost in an air line
with Big Rapids, some two hundred
miles from Muskegon, is the growing
city of Alpena, already containing
a population of nearly ten thousand
people. That city would give three
rousing cheers for even prospect of
a near route to Chicago. Muskegon
and Big Rapids are already connect.
ed by rail. In round numbers, per-
haps one hundred and fifty miles in a
direct line from here northeast would
complete the link and place Alpena
within fourteen hours of Chicago via
Muskegon. Draw a line across the
map from Big Rapids to Alpena.
The road would pass through a por-
ton of seven counties; nearly through
the center of Alpena, Oscoda and
Roscommon, across corner of AL
coma, and Ogemaw and a portion of
Clare and Osceola. 1t would traverse
a section of country already rich in
pine and hardwood timber, and which
at no distant day will become one of
the most productive agricultural por-
tions of the State. We know such q
road would add to the growth and
prosperity of our own city, and it
would materially aid Muskegon as
well. 1t is the nearest possible route
for Alpena to the metropolis of the
west, and by far the cheapest way she
can reach that city. The topography
of the country along the line propos-
ed is in every way favorable to the
enterprise. May we not ask our Mus
kegon friends, while considering the
subject of railroads, to examine this
scheme? And may we not hope to
hear from Alpena herself upon the
subject. Big Rapids would aid the
project in every possible manner, and
in the interest of any responsible COM
pany who may deem it a paying in
vestment. The Chicago and West
Michigan Company should really
build and own this proposed road.
That it will some time be built is GER
tain, as the country, as well rs Alpe-
ma, will demand it; and now is q good
time to take the initial steps,"
The line of railroad proposed in
the above article is just what Alpena
wants. 1t would run through this
country and open up section some
thirty miles wide, from this city to
somewhere about the southwest corner
Of the county. It would immensely
increase the value of lands in that

Mexican Pensions,

Congressman Warner, who was a
General in the unien army, and who
is one of the men who is opposing the
Mexican pension steal, has the follow
ing to say in letter to a correspon-
dent, who thanked him for opposing
the increase of taxes:
DEAR SIR.-Your favor Of the 18th
inst. is received, and | am glad to
find that there are those who under
stand what the Mexican pension bill
involves. If the principle of service
pension becomes established by the
passage of this bill, and IA days fixed
as the length of time required to en-
title one to such pension, then the
same principle will have to be extend
ed to enlistment in the late war,
which would involve more money be.
fore we are through with it, than the
war itself cost.
Besides, l maintain that the prin-
ciple itself is wrong, in fact, utterly
intenable, but there are so many
members who fear their soldier con-
stituency that there is majority
ready to pass the bill whenever it can
be reached, but it is not likely to be
reached in such q way that majority
vote will pass it.
You well say the whole burden in
the end would fall on the producers
of the country, who earn OH the aver
age less than $400 each, yes, less
than $3.50 each, per annum. / am as
firm friend of soldiers as anybody, as
/ think / had about as much expert
ence as any one man during the war,
and l always have insisted, and in
sist now, upon the right of every man
who ever was disabled in the service,
to a pension, hut to put men who did
little or no service, and have no disa-
bility. on the same plane with men
who had long service, and suffered
disability, would be an outrage.
These claim agents here at Washing
ton manage on the one hand to work
up public sentiment in favor of such
laws, while with the other they fleece
the soldier.

We acknowledge the receipt of
Ayers Newspaper Annual for the year
1884, and return our thanks for the

of establishment, size, circulation, and
advertising rates for ten lines one
month. Also complete lists of all the
religious or agricultural periodicals, of
medical, commercial, scientific, educa-
tional, or any other of the class pub
locations, can he obtained from it. 1t
has tables showing how many news
papers there are altogether in the
country at large, or in any of its great
sections, or in any State, Territory, or
Canadian Province, or how many
there are of each issue, and compar-
alive statement of the increase in
1884 over 1883. 1t gives the location,
county-seat, and population of every
county in the United States. From
it you can learn the character of the
surface, the nature of the soil, and its
adaptability to the growth Of the var
ious agricultural staples, of every
State, Territory, and county in the
United States, and of each of the
Canadian Provinces. Tn it is given
the population of every State, Terri
tory, county and county-seat; of all
the large cities and towns, and Of al
most every place in which a newspa-
per is published also the colored pop
ulation, by counties, in the southern
and southeastern States, and the
Chinese population on the Pacific
slope. 1t tells how many counties
there are in each State; in how many
of these newspapers are published !;
in what towns Of State papers exist.
and which of them are county-seats.
1t is unequalled for fullness, correct
ness, compactness Of statement, varie.
ty and value of contents, and freedom
from favoritism or prejudice. From
the work we find the number of news
papers and periodicals in the United
States to be 1918, and in Canada,
$50. In this country there are 1897
daily newspapers; 1892 weekly papers
and 1927 monthlies. In Michigan,
the work shows that newspapers are
published in 76 different counties.
Four counties had no papers at the
time the work was got out. The pa
pers in this State are as follows: dali

wholly excluding our hog meats
which are received without question
in the united kingdom, in Belgium,
and Holland, he has now directed his
attention to an attempt. to completely
kill off our large trade in petroleum
with "the fatherland," and as consc-
quence with large section Of other
portions of western Europe. His
method is quite craftily conceived and
carried out. On the one hand it will
help cement the late political under
standing between the governments Of
Germany and Russia on the other it
will increase the earnings of the gov
eminent railroads of both countries.
The Government railroads running to
the Russian frontier have given Rus
sian petroleum shippers special adj
vantages, while such advantages are
withheld from those who would ship
American petroleum from the sea-
board to the interior. But, in the
meantime, as if this were not sufficient
discrimination against it to effectually
kill the American oil trade, under
the guiss of protection to the German
cooperage interest it is proposed to
lay an import tax upon the barrels
which contain the product of our oil
wells. The oil would, in that event,
be compelled to pay not only the duty
which is now imposed on it, but on
the packages which convey it. Even
now, when conveyed in tin cans, an
additional duty is placed upon the
tins.-Sun.

do a large business in hauling saw

ducts to this city, and would carry
large quantities of goods and supplies

the line of the proposed road. A
large trade would also spring up be-

wants-a road to open up the back
