of Labor Statistics expects to get its second
annual report out by the time Congress
meets. Agents are hard at work in the
field now collecting material. Two sub

is the question of convict labor All OBJ
| tainable information on this subject will be
collected and put in this report. together
with conclusions as TO the part convict
| labor really plays in the labor problem.
| The other subject to be treated is strikes.
A complete history of the strikes from 1880
up to July of this year will be given, in
cluding their causes, their purpose. and
| their effect upon the labor of the country

very little. Paint viii be literally applied
wherever it is needed, and the mansion
will be literally a white house by the time
| the President returns. Spiders and hornets
| have woven such a screen on the ceiling of
| the portico as to almost blacken its surface
| Ali that part of the building will be
| cleaned. Mrs. Cleveland Indicated a few
changes in the decoration and relurnishing,
which will be attended to, but the ap1ro-

any new furniture.
The work on the Presidents country

India and Silver.
New York, August 23d.-A Times edito-
rial on India and silver says: We are told

reaching its limit; that the glut Of silver in

is so heavy a tax upon the country that
England will before long be begging us to
join her in the free coinage of gold and sill
yer on an agreed basis Here is the real
trouble with India. The country is for the
present overtaxed. A policy has been
adopted regarding it which in The long run
may probably be advantageous to it. The
policy of railway building on a large scale
in future not very remote, and the benefit
of sure and rapid communication, will far

taxation which for the present are very
great. If by a stroke of the pen the English
Government could establish fixed rates for
gold and silver, which would not vary for
a generation, the difficulties under which
India suffers on account of taxation would
not be lessened.
