The senate has taken final action ON
the bill passed by the house establish
ing department Of labor. The meas
ure provides for the establishment of q
department. of labor, whose duty it will
be to diffuse among the people of the
United States information upon subjects
connected with labor and especially up
on its relation with capital. Inquiries
are to be made regarding the hours Of
labor, the earnings of the lsboring clas-
ses, and the means Of promoting their
material, social and moral prosperity.
It would seem that this department is to
have no executive powers, but is to be q
reliable bureau of information. It may
advise and suggest beneficial measures,
but in no way can it enforce its recon-
mendations. There is no reason why
this bill shall not become law. its
statistics will be valuable and compre-
hensive in all questions involving the
labor problem.

NV YoRK, May 29.-The Tribune of to-
day publishes the following letter from Mr..
| PARIS, May IL, 1888.
Whitelsw Reid. Esq. Editor of the New York
, Tribune.
MY DEAR SR-Slnce my return to Paris
from southern Italy ON the Sth instant,
have learned what I did not before believe,
| that my name has been sent to the
national convention "a a candidate for the
! presidency of the republican party. A single
phrase of my letter of January %, from
Florence which n as decisive of everything
had the personal power to decide, has been
treated by my most valued friends az not
absolutely conclusive in ultimate and pos
sible contingencies.
On the other hand, friends equally devoted
and disinterested have construed my letter
! as it should be construed to be an uncondi-
tional withholding of my name from the
national convention. They have in conse-
quence given their support to eminent gen.
tlemen who are candidates for the Chicago
nomination, some of whom I am sure have
consented to assume that position.
IF had desired to represent the party in
the presidential contest of '8S; if should
now, by speech or by silence or by commits
blOu VI OmISslOu, permit my name, III any
event, to come before the convention, I
should incur the reprOach OF being uncandid
with those who have always been candid
with me.
speak, therefore, because am not will
ing to remain in doubtful attitude. / am
not willing to be the cause of misleading q
ingle man among the millions who have
given me their suffrages and their conf
dence. / am not willing that even one of
my faithful supporters in the past
should think me capable of playing double
with my words assuming that the presiden-
tlal nomination could by any pos
sible chance be offered to me.
could not accept it without
leaving in the midst of thousands of these
men the impression that 1 had not been
free from indirectiOn, and therefore could
not accept it at all. The misrepresentation
of malice have no weight, but the just lis
pleasure of friends could not patiently en-
dure.
Republican victory, the prospects of which
grow brighter every day, can be imperilled
only by lack of unity in council, or BY
of protection is intellectually stronger and
greater than any man, for it concerns
the prosperity of the present and Of the
future to come. Were it possible for every
voter of the republic to see for himself the
condition and recompense Of labor in En-.
rope, the party of free trade in the United
States would not receive the support of one
wage worker between the two oceans.
It may not be directly in our power as phi
lanthropists to elevate the European laborer
but it will stigmatize our statesman, and
the American laborers to be forced down
to tho European level. And in the end the
rewards .of labor everywhere will be adj
vanced If We steadily refuse to lower the
standard at home. Yours very sincerity.

Different Trades Unions.

Members are Leaving tho Knights to Join
Different Trades Unions.
CHICAGO, June 1.-The Times says: Tho
disintegration of tho Knights Of Labor in
this vicinity il going on at rapid rate.
Ever since the great rebellion was started
after the animal convention last October,
the assertions have been many. The
''rebels" have not succeeded in getting
great many Knights to join the new provis-
ional organization. The whole number of
persons now paying taxes to the provisional
committee is about 10000. It is pretty
large number, but nothing as compared to
the number of those who have been induced
by the rebellion, more than anything else,
to leave the Knights of Labor altogether and
either give up labor organization or join
trade union.
District assemblies based simply on geo.
graphical location are collapeing. District
No. 81, of Chic go, is going to pieces. most
of its members having joined the new trades
district of packing house employees. Dis
trict No. "a has fallen from "a 600 in 1886 to
about 5000, who remain members nomi-
nally, but very few of the locals are able to
keep up1their regular meetings. Mean
while the trades unions are booming. The
Knights of Labor shoemakers are about to
join a trade district. The painters have
withdrawn. So have what few remained Of
the carpenters, except two locals with less
than 100 members. The iron and steel
workers are forming a trade district. Be-
sides this shifting process, there is q large
actual loss which can hardly be calculated.

Devoured by Bears.

CHARIoTTEsvnLE, Va, June Ia few
days ago Ben Shepley, a farmer of White
hall township, this county, sent his little
girl, eleven years old, to neighboring far
mer for milk. Her failure to return alarmed
her parents and the investigation that fol-
lowed leads to the conclusion that she was
killed by bear. The farmers of the neigh
borhood started out in large searching
parties and have discovered unmistakable
evidence of the presence of bears in the
locality where the little one was last seen.
The fact that a number of sheep were killed
and a portion of the girls clothes picked up
leaves little doubt but that she was devoured
