THE H4LEHOLIDAY MOVENENT

The promoters of the Saturday haf-hoiday
movement have much reason to be gratiled at
the success which has marked their work. The
prospect that the reform will become general
and permanent is decidedly encouraging. 1t is
a matter which appeals strong y to the good
sense and humane feelings of right-thinking
people, and those who are working industIi-
onsly to tighten the tasks and increase the
leisure and comfort of great numbers of busy
tollers deserve the thanks and earnest support
of all lovers of their fellows. OF course it
cannot be expected that the cessation of work
at noon or l p. IN. on Saturday will become at
once the general rule among all classes of wage
earners. Many naturally would not choose the
half-holiday if it meant the loss OF half day S
wages Ii will take time to adjust the relations
of employers and employed to the new arrange
mcnt, but there is reason to believe that the
stimulus of the extra half day of rest will cause
workmen to do as much in the shortened week
as they now do in six full days. AT any rate
there must be no decrease OF pay i'll order to
make up the loss of working time.
The reformers should not be discouraged if
the movement makes slow progress. All
processes of evolution take time. The success
which attended the undertaking last summer is
proof however that the reform has taken Il
firm root and is destined to grow. Doubtless at
length it will extend to all branches of trade.
That 1t can be made effective in factories and
shops is amply shown by the experience of Mr..
Rowland, of the Continental Iron WORKS III
Greenpoint This, however, viii prove the
most difficult part of the work. The dry goods
stores naturally were the easiest field, for here
public sentiment could make itself felt at
once and powerfully But if large numbers of
shoppers resolutcly abstain from shopping after
- o'clock noon on Saturdays, Will this cause
the closing OF the smaller shops on the avenues
which, as Is well known, do their largest
business on Saturday evening (aftcr the usual
weekly wages are paid to their customers), and
frequently remain open till ii o'clock or even
midnight Even If the customary pay day
were set earlier In the week, it would be some
time before people of the poorer sort would
change the long established usage.
As far as legislation on the half-holiday
question il. concerned, the time does not ye'

IN EXCITABLE WITNESS.

If Mr.. Van Benthuysen were less excltable
witness he would be a less valuable one. In
his moments of passion he sometimes uninten-
tionally tells the truth. His testimony ycster-
day in relation to the Pan Electric National
Improved conspiracy was so valuable that his
black guardiSm may be overlooked. AS Mr..
Ranpcy SAID. the witness need not fear that
ANYBODY will be "besmirched unless by the
testimony of the Pam Electric witnesses them
selves.
Mr. Van Benthuysen's attempt to explain the
mutiations of a record to palm it of upon OPP
posing counsel would have been more satlsfac-
tory If he had shown why he took care to pre-
serve the original paging and appearance OF that
document The written contract winch he
produced completely overturns the testimony
of Harris and Young in regard to a vital matter.
1t shows, moreover, that the conspiracy to
bring ii suit to break down the Bell patent or to
blackmail the Bell Company-cither altcrna-
tive apparently being agreeable to the parties
in interest - was Matched in Washington,
where Garland. Harris, Young, CAN'T,
and Van Benthuysen wore present on
August 1, 1855. That was only four days after
Garland had refused to have anything to do
with the matter, and 1t was a month before the
order to bring the SUIT was issued by Goode
while Garland was conveniently absent from
Washington. The disclosure of this contract
seems virtually to complete the case against
the Pan Electric conspiratOrs.

4 BILL TO POISON THE AIR.

The State Senate has been mlsled into pass
ing particularly nasty job which should be
promptly defeated by the Assembly. NAL
odorons and offensive manure contractor in this
city is fortunate enough to have brother-in-
law in the Legislature, who has pushed through
the Senate a bill compelling the Ncw-York
Board of Health to designate certain grounds
on the East River as dumping places for ma
nure The bill is in the interest of the contractor
and aims to permit him to accumulate huge
masses of pestilence- breeding filth which he
will reduce at his own convenience and as the
market for such stuff suits him.
This contractor has been indicted and con-
yicted of offences against the laws and the pub
lie health. He is responsible for more foul
smells and more extensive nulsances on Man
haitian Island than any other disturber or the
atmosphere now among us. tie wants to
poison the air of this metropolis on the biggest
possible scale and at his own sweet will, with
out obstruction or interference from the Board
of Health. During the winter he has been
compelled to remove from the city promptly
the manure which he handles, and thus the
neighborhood of his piers has been kept from
serious pollution. But this does not please the
contractor He wishes to pile up thousands OF
tons of manure to tester and rot on his extrn-
sive grounds and to fill the air of the East Side
with disease breeding germs. No more impu"
dent and outrageous bill has been introduced at
Albany for years. The health authorities are
against it, and no man who understands its true
character can have any excuse for voting for it.
The Assemblyman who supports it with voice
or vote will earn for himself full measure and
running over of the hatred and contempt of the
people of New York.
