to-day, on motion OF Mr.. Van Wyck, the
House bill increasing the pension OF
soldiers widows was taken up after de-
bate by. Messrs. Butler, Logan, COckrell,

CONVICT LABo In VIRGINfA.-At
the recent session ofthe Legislature Of
Virginia convict labor bill was pas
sed authorizing the employment Of
penitentiary convicts on county roads
and works Of internal Improvement;
but forbidding their employment 10
manufactures where they come into
competition with free labor. It is thus
thought that the resources of the
state will be developed to its best adj
vantage. There are generally about
1000 convicts in the state, and at the
present time about three-fourths Of
them are working for private parties
under contracts which still have a
term to run. Itisnot probable, there
fore, that the law ca make any ma
terial change in the condition oflabor
at the present time unless the con-
tracts now outstanding be Cancelled.

DoN'r Go Too FAR.-The NY
"sunp very wisely connsels modera-
too, on the great issue Or labor now
ag;,atiDg the country, and re com
mend il to our readers as equal J ap-
plicable to the absorbing interests Of
Local Option now agitating The peo-
pie in this city at this time Upon
this subject the "Snn" says: When
It il q question Of fair wages for a
fair days work the sympathies of
every reasonable man should incline
to The side Of the labor organizations.
It is best for al the interests of the
country that labor should be equit-
ably compensated. Without just
and proper requital Of labor there can
be no enduring stability of business
or general prosperity.
But there is danger that success
may turn the heads Of the Knights Of
Labor and Of the organizations they
influence. While We uphold and
stand by their fundamental purpose,
we deprecate the excuses into which
they may be led. and we warn them
against the injustice into which they
may be betrayed. 1t cannot be allow
ed in this country that q man who
employs labor shall not himself selec
it and control it. free from dictation
as to the individual persons whom
be shall employ. Such q rule would
be intolerable in its operation and
effect, and, y bile it might benefit
few, 1t would afford to the many
license and occasion of abuse that
would be fatal to all business discip-
line. Nor can it be allowed that an
industrial organization of protec-
tive character shall usurp the great
powers Of government, and levy war
on all business under the pretext OF
attending to its own.
Therefore. We say the leaders of
labor should beware lest they go too
far and defeat their own purposes
Let them regulate wages aud hours
and resist all oppression, but the lea
ders even Of the most sacred Of causes
cannot be allowed to proceed to the
extremes Of tyrany and extortion.
We want to see every man who
works for his living have his fair
share Of the profits of his labor, and
We depl ore any action on the part of
the labor organizations tending to de-
feat that end Revenges and repri-
sails upon capital are sure in the end
to be quite as injurious aud as hurt
ful TO the community as its worst and
most systematic exactions and oppres-
sion have ever been.
10 this country law and order and
liberty must be maintained at every
cost
