O'NEuL, chairman OF the labor commit
tee of the House, has devoted the best part
Of his life TO the interests OF worlIingmen
and workingwomen. The journals OF the
house of representatives OF the state OF
Missouri will prove this statement. AS
chairman Of the committee he is the right
man in the right place, and possesses more
political sense upon the labor question
than the whole Democratic delegation
combined. The records of the
last session OF Congress demonstrate this,
while his foresight made valuable political
capital for his party in the campaign of 'S4.
This statement will prove useful and In
stIuctive to Mr.. Foran, who argues that
the handwriting is proof positive of the
originator Of any bill. Some of the best
productions, at the present day, of our

An interesting debate was begun yester-
day In the Senate by Messrs. Plumb, Frye,
and Beck upon the subject of fostering aud
extending our commercial relations with
the countries south of us on this hemi-
sphere and with Australia. Senators Plumb
and Frye fired hot shot into the Demo.
cratic camp while criticising the free trade,
anti-Amerlcan policy OF the mossbacks,
and pointing out the panacea for our ma
tional disease. The sufferiugs Of the labor
ing men cannot be ameliorated by arbltra-
tlon alone; relief must come from expan-
sion Of trade, by means Of closer inter
course with other countries. The debate
promises to be quite lively to-day.
