things relating TO their welfare and to the in
dustrial welfare of the country, and we favor the
enactment of State and National laws providing
for the settlement Of controversies between en-
ployers and employees by methods of voluntary
arbitration or by the establishment of courts Of
conciliation, which viii avoid the waste loss and
ill-feelins resulting from strikes and lock-outs,
and the usual expense of litigation.

We denounce the action of the Democratic
House of Representatives at its last session in
striking from the bill to compensate the citizens
of this State for losses sustained in the Indian
war Of 1860 all claims for supplies furnished for
the suppression of indian hostilities and also for
services rendered during that memorable strug-
gle in which the lives ofa large number Of our
most respected citizens were sacrificed.
We denounce the pretense of the Democratic
party of having sympathy for the cause of local
self government in ireland while the Democratic
House Of Representatives, in Committee of the
whole, repeatedly refused To endorse that prn.
ciple. In the months Of April and June last that
body, by Democratic votes, on three several oc-
casions rejected resolution indorsing free Par
lament for Ireland, which is the following words.
"REsoLvED. That the House OF Representa-
tiyes earnestly sympatlizes with the Right Hon.
william E. Gladstone and his associates In their
efforts to secure a free Parliament for the people
Of Ireland, and congratulate the people OF that
hitherto unhappy country upon the prospect ef
an early and successful termination OF their long
and patriotic struggle for the right Of local self.

Thereby discounging the growth of a liberal
spirit throughout Great britain.

We commend the efforts of Senator Jones aud
Congressman woodbun in obtaining an appro-
priaiion Of $50 900 for public land surveys In

Commissioner OF the General Land Office in with
holding moneys approptia ed for that purpose,
and particularly con Tenn the action of Senator
Fair IN absenting himself from Washington dur
ing all the time when appropriations for this
State were under consideration by the Senate.

We are opposed to the further importation Of
Chinese TO this country OF any other foreign

yor any plan for the relief of free labor from com

wolves all financial evils to which nation can be
subjected. among which are robbery Of the
debtor, s.amation of business, reduction OF
wages and the ensasement Of the MASSES for the

We osenounce the bondhoders conspiracy to de
monetisc silver aud contract the monoy Of the
