THE LABOR INVESTIGATION.

The House Committee which Is en-.
gagged in investigating the labor
troubles in the Southwest has divided
into sub committees, and is busy taking
testimony. In st. Louis Mr.. Koch.
titzky, State Labor Commissioner, told
the committee that the expense in.
Cured by the Knights Of Labor in con
ducting the recently collapsed strike
on the Texas Pacific and Missouri Pa
chc roads was about 81 ,000, ,OOO and
he very pertinently advanced the sug-
gestion that it would have cost the
knights good deal less to have sup
ported Mr.. Hall, whose discharge
caused the strike.
At Fort Worth Ex-Governor Brown
told the subcommittee that the Texas
Pacific Railroad employs no convict
labor, but works $50 Cinnamon on its
Western division, although American
workingmen would be employed in
preference If they could be obtained.
Governor Brown does not believe In
any further legislation in regard to the
relations between capital and labor. The
whole question is, he says, governed
by the law of supply and demand. Ar
bitration cannot, lie holds, be made
compulsory, nor has Congress the con-
stitutional right of interference with
Interstate commerce.
Another receiver of the Texas Pa
ciflc, Ex-Governor Sheldon, said that
he was in favor of arbitration, but
would not arbitrate with man to de-
termine whether or not he should en-
ploy that man. He also admitted that
the Texas Pacific was wrecked in its
construction. 1t is doubtful If the
committee returns with any more re-
sources on which to base practicable
legislation than 1t had at the start; but
the subject is one that needs agitation
and the investigation will be worth al
it costs and good deal more, If 1t adds
TO the public stock Of knowledge and
thereby aids in the formulation Of @
more intelligent public opinion. II
the labor troubles cannot be regulated
by law they must be regulated by the
common sense of the people.

not find the Yankee yachts men so I'M
prepared as they were before when
the Puritan had to be built for the
emergency in great haste. Within the
past few days two yachts have been
launched, each one being constructed
with view to its possible selection
for the defence Of American yachting
prowess against the vessel which the
Royal Yacht Club send across the seas
in quest of the Queens cup, which, by
the way, is n very homely specimen OF
art. Both of these yachts were built
with reference to speed alone. Every
line was carefully calculated and every
spar will be as carefully selected One
of them is the Atlantic and the other the
Mayhower. Both are pronounced to
be beauties and bordering on porfec.

THE STREAM IN THE WOODS.

Bright stream, that wanders here and there,
Laughing the whole day long,
Your voice across the woodland calls
Like remembered song,
Here, as of yore, the beeches spread,
And grass and flowers are sweet,
Where oft your hastlng waters ran
Across my childish feet.
A golden time knew II not
In those far days OF old;
But left the field and left the stream
TO seek for other gold.
oh, dear to me your sunlit wave,
And dear the leafy shore;
But you have borne upon yonr tide
That which returns no more

THE NEW YORK PRESS.

The tribune this morning says that "Amerl-
cans, being practical people, do not lie awake
nights much about what Anarchists may do
TO oyerturn government and society, but they
perfectly comprehend that an addition of 20
per cent. or even less to the cost of produc-
tion Is going to make difference which can
not be estimated IN the condition of manufac
turing industry, and that many people who
have money are going to wait before they put
more Of Il within the reach of trades unions"
The star, speaking of pension and other
claims, says: Congress must surrender the
Jurisdiction which It has usurped, and send
claimsto.courts and local matters to the States.
A too great Capitalization has resulted in the
paralysis of the central power. Congress
cannot legislate for the whole, because Il Is
too busy with the affairs of the different
parts. The work of legislation must be re.
formed altogether"
The HerdH says: 1.-THE President is right,
and every honest pensioner will stand by him
and approve Of his admonltion to Congress-"
The World says: 1.-THE pension business has
been carried 10 an extreme which renders II
ridiculous. The time has passed when the
individual Congressman has anything to fear
from voting against pension bill. His danger
lies in the other direction"
The Times says "The Presidents veto mes
fages accompanying two private pension
bills are most instructive and convincing
argument against the policy of oyerrullng the
pension laws in hundreds Of cases by special
legislation"

Congressman Waldo Hutchins for Sec
re,ary of the Treasury. There are
two things in the way of such con-
summation. In the first place, there
is no immediate likelihood of vacancy
in Mr.. Manning's office, and in the
next place, Mrs. IIutchins is said to
be dead set against coming to Wash.

man would unquestionably make an
excellent man for the place.

MIR. SHERNIAN,S SCHEME.

Senator Sherman and his friends are
saidto have already mapped out plan
looking to 1888. There is to be no
flourish of trumpets about it, but a
sentiment in Mr.. Sherman S favor is TO
be worked up with as little noise and
ostentation as possible. The editor of
Republican country journal, out in
Ohio, is to give the Sherman boom its
initiative impetus. Heis to commence
the campaign in his own newspaper,
the Piqua Journal, and from that rural
eminence proceed to influence other
country editors to join him. In this
way the provincial districts of Ohio are
to be cultivated for all the value there
is in them. When this part of the
population has been sufficiently in,
oculated with the Sherman idea, the
same tactics are 10 be applied to the
rural population in other states,
especially in the South, where Mr..
Sherman has ever been diligent in en-
deavoring to secure Republican dele
cations. After the towns and villages
have been gathered in the cities will
be assaulted.
Like Ko.Ko, Mr.. Sherman's plan
seems to be to start with guinea pig
and work his way up And even the
second place in the Sherman move
ment is already provided with an oc.
cupant, that occupant being the Hon.
Levi p. Morton, who was United
States Minister 10 Paris, and who, like
Mr.. Sherman, does not lack shekels.
TIE Presidents action In regard to
certain pension legislation is proof OF
his patriotism much more to the point
than that of the Congressman who arc
always so ready to advocate the pay
ment Of money TO the defenders of The
flag, without much reference to wha
that defender was, provided his politi
cal influence is worth having. We be
lieve in a.full and liberal recognition o.
every man who saved the Nation; bu
the Nation is peculiar, in that it need
