Belated Journalistic Criticism Of Glad
stones Irish Land bill.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April 24.-The holidays leave Lon
don deserted of all the people who make news
The weekly papers, which were unable TO COM
ment on the land purchase scheme last week,
now express their views. The Spectator says:
"Gladstone's land purchase scheme is a bad
one. though well intended. 1t is lacking in
holiness, in simplicity, in safety. it imposes
heavy nnaDcial risk upon Great Britain, yet
does not provide compensation for the land
lords 1t will not be considered by tenants to
improve their position in any marked way. 1t
will, If 1t fails, leave things worse than before.
1t will, If 1t succeeds burden the new Irish state
with the permanent hostility of the cultivating
class"
The Saturday Reuie,c calls Gladstone "the
unjust steward" and says either the sum
originally named was not wanted, in which
case Gladstone must have conceived his scheme
with most astonishingly culpable levity and
neglect TO ascertain the facts; or it was wanted,
IN which case the reduction is proof OF levity
almost more astonishing and more culpable.
The 1ddtef, Roman Catholic organ, says: I'VE,
VINO threw twenty millions into the sea to keep
ourselves clear from the stain OF the slave
trade, are we going TO pause now between a
doubtful risk and permanent paciflcation? In
the essential element of permance, GiadstoDe's
Irish land bill is wholly lacking. All the sacri-
u
vain. Parliament, whether it likes the task or
not, will have no option save TO push on the
work OF purchase and get it completed with the
utmost possible rapidty."
The &dtist says: at is not incumbent upon
the people of Great Britain to give tie land
lords the full value OF their estates though it is
only right they should receive compensation il
treated unfairly by the new parliament"
Thus Is the current OF journalistic opinion still
running pretty steadily against the bill. Mean
time, the interesting item of news comes from
Ireland this morning that the trustees OF extern
sive estates in county Mayo have offered TO sell
TO the tenants at twelve years purchase. Evil
IDENTIFY they have little hope Of Gladstone's bill
becoming law.

HIS Views on the Present Conflict Be.
tween Capital and Labor.
GALVESTON, TEX, April 24.-The following
letter nom ex-President Jefferson Davis. of tho
confederacy, 10 IL. w. Pope. OF Marshall. Texas.
In which Mr.. Davis gives his views as 10 what
legislation might be adopted 60 bring about
harmony and unity OF action between capital
and labor, has just been made public:
BEAuvorR, Miss, March ~, 1885
The Hon. ~. W. Pope:
My DHAR SIR: Fully approaching the compli-
ment conveyed by your request for my views
as 10 what legislation might be adopted
10 adjust the conflict now going on be-
the compliment is little merited.
The old war between capital and labor has
called forth the best tntoIlects OF Europe. IL
has Disturbed commerce, overthrow govern
ments, produced anarchy and crept from the
wreck without solving the problem. With Va
the contest Is I'm Its incipent state. and happily
II may be that something can be done 10 check
It's growth Self-intcrest and free ompetition for
labor will, wherever laborers are abundant
give TO the rich the power To Cypress the poor.
We cannot legislate 20 destroy the motive OF
seii-interest, for that lies at the foundation OF
directed To unuying the interest of labor
ana capital as far as this may
present form OF conflict In our country 10
between associated labor and organizations
employing it, IL is not sufficient answer TO say
that the price OF labor has advanced unless it
can be shown that the profits have moved pari
aSstl with the profits of capital tor I'm this a. I'm
other things OF comparative welfare, we must
consider the relative improvement The
standard OF comfort rises proportionately TO the
increase OF wealth in a country. Your idea OF a
court OF arbitration think has mach 60 recom-

as 10 secure equally the confidence OF both con.
tending parties, would require both liberality
ana discretion, and it would be needful that
theirdecisions should be based on some thing like

be measured by the profits of the corporation.

MIR. POWDERLY'S VIEWS.
His Proposed Department Of Labor
What is Needed to Make Arbitration
Successful.

10 STAR reporter, who found Master Work
man Powderly and Secretary Turner, of the
executive board Knights of Labor, together
Mr.. Powderly, as the spokesman, said: 81 like
the residents message very much, bit want
10 see an executive department of labor with
the requisite power and authority to adjust
labor matters. 1t should have authority over
everything pertaining to the labor interests,
1t Is not necessary that the department should
be confined to labor interests. It could very
well include commerce. With such q depart.
ment, In possession of all the information and
statistics relating to labor any difficulties
now much testimony this labor committee has
taken, and the time consumed i'm preparino
dOr ~ ana taxing It, 1t Is not the fault OF the
committee. They are doing the best that is
possible, but you can see the result should the
settlement of q strike and the resumption OF
arbitration, and the only kind that is valuable.
is tnat between man and man, fairly represent.
Ing the parties interested. For instance, If you
ence arises, you select three of your Company.
select three of the employees, and they agree
upon seventh man. That board or committee
Iacts ana circumstances and can discuss the sit
uation tntelligently. No arbitration law of Con-
g gre ca, can be Of any great value. I regard
Inc Dill recently passed by the House
as about the best that could be enacted. but IL
is valuable only as being declaration Of Con.
tonal arbitration law the Inachinery nroyd md
would necessarily be cumbersome, and the de-
LAY! lays nave spoken OF would necessarily exist.
Inc Information requisite for Intelligent action
would have TO be procured before action could
pe taken. Besides, look at the various branches
maps would have to be represented In arbitra-
lion under such q law. Say workmen in
snoe factories were on strike. There are the
cutters, peggers, lasters and other branches OF
Workmen going to make up the whole who
would need to be represented. With an execn.
i've department keeping thoroughly informed
IN regard 10 all the labor interests with all the
tacts on hand, arbitration and settlement could
pc speedily ACCOMPLISHED"
Mr. Turner aSsented to all that Mr. Powdarlv
said, and it is apparent that the renresentative.
VI tne laOorlng masses agree in the opinion that
an executive department would afford the
sPeeoIest ana surest means OF bringing labor
and capital into closer relations $500

THE REPORT OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE OF COM.
MERGE AGAINST A LICENSE TAX ON CONNER
CIAL TRAVELLERS.
The House committee on commerce, I'm their
report in favor OF the bill which provides that
residents OF each state and territory may,
within the other states and territories and
within the District OF Columbia, solicit from
dealers or merchants orders for goods and mer.
chandise by sample, catalogue, card, price-list,
description or other representation, without
payment or any license or mercantile tax
state that certain laws in different states terri.
tories and District OF Columbia imposing license
lees on commercial travellers from other states
seem 10 discriminate against citizens and prod.
ucts OF other states, and that ia the confusion of
such laws that tree Interstate commerce which
Is designed under the constitution is interfered
with and restrained. The committee copcedo
the right of a state to tax its citizens engaging
In any business, but deny that the state has The
right TO lay "A duty upon Importation from ono
state into another under the name of a license
tax or penalty, "althougn she (the state terri
tory or District) at the same time provides for
Tue same tax equally upon residents and nom
''Such laws" say the committee, "although
not discriminating in favor OF residents aud
non-residents, are In conflict with the coustitu-
tional power OF Congress TO regulate commerce
between the states" judicial decisions In SUP.
port OF this position are cited, and the report
states explicitly that the object of the bill Is 10
prevent any state, territory or the District OF
Columbia from requiring a license from those
who are exclusively against OF Interstate COM
mercial transactions. The report concludes ~
follows.
"The contracts for sales made by commercial
travellers are not cohsummated In the state
when the order is solicited, but the final assent
thereto is given by the merchant or principal
who receives and executes the order of his cor.
respondent This trade Is now carried on with.
out objection by postal communication and
samples by mail, and IL is not perceived
why the same thing executed by q commercial
traveller Ia person is in any way Objectionable"

THE PROBABILITY THAT THEY WILL INCREASE
THE STRENGTH OF THE OPEN SESSION MOVE
MENT In THE SENATE.
The friends of Judge Pollard, whose nomina.
ton TO the bench OF Montana is now pending In
the Senate, deny IN toto the charges made
against him and say that they Will all be dis
proved. In fact, IT is claimed that they have
been disproved, and that such charges would
never have been brought before the Senate
were IL not that the system OF secresy with re-
gard 10 nominations enables slanderen 10
screen themselves. Democratic Congressmen
from Indiana say that Pollard is q very able
man and that he bears the highest character
where he is known.
The charges are, In brief, that he deceived
clients OF his as TO the value OF claims put I'm
his hands; that In one case he pesuaded q
client I'd sell him valuable claim for q small
sum, and In another he refused to account for
money he had collected. The publication Of
these charges In minute detail has stirred tho
indignation Of some OF the SENATOR. and has
apparently, increased the strength OF the OPEN
session movement A democratic Senator 10
marked to-day that by some singular method
accusations against democratic nominees, no
matter what may be their foundation, usually
md their way into print He added that the
best method Of putting q stop 20 this would b.
70 abolish secret sessions.

seed oil continues TO grow frmer by
degrees, aud buyers ara confronted
with an advance almost every day.
The fact that the greater portion Of
the crude stocks consists OF inferior
quality prevents values from harden
ing on these grades. Buyers seem to
think that the South contains consid-
cradle oil, as they are very sparing in
their wants. There is no ground for
the crude oils to rest upon, except the
views of Southern holders, whose ev-
ident purpose is to push up crude
values as refined oil advances. No
change hiss occurred in the price OF
crude oil at the South. We are wired
from New Otleaas that supplies are
light and held at "a cents for prime
and 20 cents for off grades. Meagef
receipts Of seed are being received a.

that crude is held at % and "a cents.
