which the Union proposes to put into effect
from and after May Sd next, increase the cost
OF composition ten cents per 1000 ems, or
from 40 cents, the present rate, TO so cents per
thousand.
Another change proposed affects the hours
OF work. Now the Union requires that the

have mot less than five hours" The hour of
ten O'Clock a. M, instead of nine a. M, is fixed

pose has notif1e d newspaper publishers OF this
action, and asked their acQuiescence, adding
that should they, however, deem q conference

1t Is stated that there is disposition to re-
consider the action OF the meeting on the part
Of members OF the Union on the ground that Il

ance at the meeting and the resolution was
adopted by the vote OF less than f1fty out OF .

MIR, Randa,l,s pro.rnmme.

Representative Randall has prevailed
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury to have
the usual order of printing the departmental
estimates so changed that those estimates
may first be printed upon which the Appro-
priations Committed may begin work when
they assemble on November go. Mr.. Ran
dali has carefully matured his plans and
arranged every possible preliminary to Sc
cure rapid work on the appropriation bills,
and the passage of at least one Of these bills
before the holiday recess. He is said to be-
lieve that 1t would be very dscreditable to
the House to waste the month Of December
In the usual style. Some OF Mr.. Randal's
critics look with suspicion upon the zeal
which he is displaying. They infer that his
desire to head of Hewitt for a month and
Morrison for winter are as prominent con-
siderations as his anxiety to secure bust
ness-llke session.

senator Gormnn's Optimism.

Senator German says the approaching
session should be one of unusual activity,
The House will in his opinion be ia condi-
tion for harmonious, energetic action. The
defeated members are free from restraint
and at liberty to do what they think right,
ana the reelected members have the reas-
suring knowledge that they have two years
in which to heal up any trouble they make
for themselves among their constituents
now He draws the Inference that all the
Presidents recommendation VIII carry
more weight and meet more ready re.
sponse than they did year ago, and that
the second session of the Forty-ninth Con-
gress will accomplish more than the frst
session IN one half the time.

THE reverend gentleman who oc.
cupied the pulpit of the metropolitan
NJ. L. Church last evening for the ap.
parent purpose of demonstrating the
extraordinary wickedness of the chill
dren of Washington as compared with
those of Chicago was very properly
corrected by Judge Smell, who showed
conclusively that the position of Mr..
Mccarthy was based upon insufficient
premises. The fact that comparatively
n greater number of "children" be-
tween the ages of 40 and 20 years"
were arrested here than in Chicago
should have been accompanied by the
other fact that more than one third of
the arrests made had been of too trivial
a nature to engage the attention Of the
court. 1t was also possible that the
policemen here were more indus
trious than they are In Chi.
cago. II is further to be re.
membcred that many persons between
the ages OF ten aud twenty, who are
classified as children, cease to bC chill
dren long before they are out Of their
teens. Altogether there is nothing to
show any unusual degree Of wicked.
ness among the young people of Wash
ington, and the reflection Involved in
Mr.. McCarthy's TRADE cannot be too
vigorously resented.
