THE LABOR mo VEMENT IN NEW
YORK


Henry George is fairly in the saddle for
the mayoralty race in New York city.
There will be Democratic and a Repub-
lican candidate, and by polling the entire
labor vote Mr.. George hopes to come in.
The effect of this contest may possibly
be far-reaching. II it shall chance that
George is successful the result will be the
organization of a distinctively labor party,
drawing IFS recruits from the ranks of the
Democratic or Republican parties, for
here tofore workingmen have voted with
one or the other Of the two great parties.
If 1t shall be demonstrated that la
boz, In the metropolis of this country, is
able to combine its forces and win vic
tory over both of the old parties, then
similar movements will from time to time
spring up in other cities, deriving en-
couragement from the accomplishment In
New York. And II in municipal why not
In congressional and state elections. Why
not, ultimately, in national election?
The laboring men of the country are
numerous enough, il they can be induced
to vote and act in conc&t, to control the
elections In each and every state OF the
union; for under the head of labor is COM
prised all those branches OF Industry where
men toll with their hands, whether in the
field, the foundry, the workshop or the
mine. Such propaganda, preached and
welded, would be purely class politics,
and, therefore, to be deplored, Just as
union OF religious denominations, or of
business, capitsllstic interests, for politi-
cal purposes, would be deplorable. The
only hope Of counteractIng 1t would rest In
the intelligence aud conservatism of indi.
vidual workingmen, members OF one or the
other of the great parties now dominating,
who would decline to be diverted from
their present political affiliations to en-
gage IN a dlstinctiyely labor movement
We daresay Mr.. George is an earnest,
worthy man, and II elected mayor OF New
York 1t Is more than probable he would
prove all he ought to be. Whatever dan.
ger there Is In the movement he is leading
Is not immediate or local, 1t consists in
the stimulus that would be given to the

lions extending throughout the entire
country, The safety Of this country and
its institutions consists in the existence
of two strong, vigorous, nearly evenly
balanced political parties, like the Demo.
cratic and Republican, which shall steer
clear of entangling alliances with either
labor or capital, or with any religious ele
ment or essentially moral movement.

NBw ORLEANS is excited over welrdly
romantic story OF treasure trove, hidden
near that city The sum is not as large
as Capt. Kidd's famous treasure, but 1t Is
enough TO make mouths water, being
$4,000. According to the story of the
man who was found digging for It the
other night, he and two fellow-soldiers
were in New Orleans as part OF Buffers
army Of occupation. They stole the
money from a wealthy farmer near the
city, whose house they raided and looted.
Unable to carry it away, they buried the
money and blazed tree that stood over
1t. Two OF the three soldiers were killed.
The third, owing TO train Of misfortunes,
was unable to return to New Orleans
until the other day. The tree he had
marked was cut down, and then he began
his search, quietly and secretly. The
man is believed to be crank. People
who are searchers for buried treasures are
generally cranks.

he was beaten by fraud and when con
gress declined to seat him announced his
intention Of contesting the district again
at the next election. We are not pre-
pared to say that Mr.. Hurd was correct
about the fraud theory. The Democratic
house OF representatives could not hnd
proof OF fraud in the election or Hurd
would have been seated. II was a little
strange, however, that district which
had formerly returned Hurd should
shelve him and elect man OF positively
opposite views, and hence the coming
election will be regarded with interest as
showing whether the Democracy OF the
district is still lukewarm enough TO let
Republican be chosen second time, or
send a man to congress who represents
the principles of tariff reform. Mr. Hurd
would have proved Of much value to the
Democracy and the country bad he been
member of the present congress. 1t is
possible that In some respects he is
rather ahead OF his party in his tariff
views, but pioneers are needed to carry
out any great movement or reform, and
there were not enough Democratic
pioneers in the congress now going out
of existence.
