LEGISLATION NEEDED.

The Knights of Labor seem to have tied
up the Reading road pretty ef~ectually. At
their meeting on Monday in Philadelphia
they divulged a plan to bring the railroad
to terms by a suit brought against it by
the Commonwealth OF Pennsylvania for
the specific performance OF duties incurred
under their charter and privileges granted
them by the State. The Knights charges
related to the effect upon the coal market
which the company has cornered by stop.
ping work consequent upon a refusal to
come to terms with it's employees. They
complain that the company %purposely
brought about this condition Of affairs to
warrant the exorbitant prices they nave
extorted from the community. But as the
serve, not a pound having come from
tn. %Schuylkill region since Saturday, any
benefit the company hoped to derive from
provoking the strike is exhausted. The
other charge of the Knights, that the com.
pany is employing unskilled labor in its
passenger service thereby endangering the
public safety is one that should be pressed
for all it is worth. The safety OF the pub
lie requires that skilled labor be employed
in ira n service, and the companies
should not have the alternative.
If they have a dispute with their
employees, OF hiring any inexperienced help
that presents itself. But as if this i'm.
pending State suit were not enough, the
matter has been brought to the attention
Of Congress in Il resolution directing the
on Commerce to take the pres
stoppage of traffic under it's prayerful
consideration, and to devise legislation to
compel the Reading road to fulfill it's du.
A few days ago it was hope
fully stated that the prospect OF an adjust
ment OF the cause OF the strike was more
than fair. Since then, however, President
Curbin stated that the trouble with the

the striking railroad hands should be cast
into outer darkness. He has probably
learned the cause OF one is the cause
Of ell. The railway men struck to assist

work or none. The subject being referred
to the Commerce Committee OF the House,
they will likely give the matter immediate
attention. Should it result in devisirg |
egislation compelling differences between
railways and their employe to be compul-
soriIy adjusted by arbitration the Reading
strike will have accomplished more than ali
rs predecessors. There is just as much
.eason for the institution of a national
commission as there is for an
Interstate commission. More,

n REFORM IN EXECUTIONS.

At last a State Legislature has taken IN
the subject OF executions with a view to re-.
forming the practice in accordance with the
mere refined usages of the age. The alb
surdlfy OF retaining the barbaric system OF
hanging men by the neck until they are
dead in legal executions, is one of the
great st contradictions to the boosted
civilization of the age. Americans cling to
The traditions OF their English forefathers
with the same tenacity, almost, as their
cou' ms across the water in such matters
rs this. But now that the entering wedge
has been inserted by a committee OF the
New York L gislature reporting in favor OF
executing the extreme penalty of the law
by means OF a powerful electric current
communicates to the criminal, the first
step has been taken in the way of a long.
needed Improvement in capital punish
ments. The power OF aJablochkoff battery,
the most powerful invented, is equal in
effect to a stroke OF lightning. Evidence OF
the sudden and complete suspension OF
animation of the latter lately received
curious confederation. A man was driving
along n road in astorm when a sudden flash
o! the electric fluid struck the vehicle
and killed his horse. He was found some |
time afterwards animation was appar-
emily suspended in the man, but restora.

had not felt it. The suspension OF his SEN
sation Was instantaneous. The effect Of
the current OF IA powerful battery may be
Judged by this. The criminal pla. ed in
position to receive it would in n moment
pass from lie to death. All the horrors of
bungling executions from improper adjust.
ment OF the moose would be spared. The
New York Commission recommend that the

TO PRESERVE THE FORESTS.

The gentlemen who have been devising
some means OF saving the forestry OF the
United States from destruction have at
last got a bill introduced to preserve
American forests. The Forestry Congress
has brought to the attention OF the country
the danger that confronts it Of having its
timber supply exhausted if its destruction
is continued at the present cxtravagant
rate. A vast amount OF the national for
ests is annually wantouiy or carelessIy ie-
stroyed without any excuse. The bill in.
troduced by Senator Hale provides for a
Commissioner OF Forests who is author
lied to create forest reserves and to
appoint rangers to enforce the rules for
the preservation Of the forests made by the
Commissioner While uoue OF these forest
lands, valuable for their timber, can be
sold, ~stumpage on them may be
disposed Of by the Commissioner.
lhis will cfiectuaiiy relieve the
lumber companies Of Montana from the
difficulties they have had to contend with
aud The Annoying suits they have had to
stand that were wholly uncailtd for. All
they have asked was that the limits of the
Government lands might be defined and q
price set for ~stumuage which they have /
ever been wiling to Day. The bill is one
that will meet with no opposition from any !
source, ( l through the attention which the !
Forestry Congress has been Tor the past few
years directing to The subject everyone is
ready to admit that too much care cannot
be exercised in preserving for actual use all |
the sources of timber supply now under

of the WOful Decrease OF

He Has q Rich Father and the Matter
Will Be Settled.

DETROIT, January ia sensation in
business circles was caused this afternoon
when it became known that Chas. E.
Young, for many years head bookkeeper OF
the Michigan Carbon Works, but rnore re-
Gently Secretary and Treasurer Of the con-
Germ, had been arrested charged with en-
bezzlement. Young has for years past
revelied in the possession OF a blnoded
Eorse, a nobby turnout and a colored
coachman on a salary of $500, but as
his father was known to be wealthy it ex-
cited no special attention. Last September
AIRY and Treasurer and soon af.erward the
in dividends to stoc holders
caused complaints. This dissatisfaction
ed t. investigation. 1t was ascertained
that somebody high in office ha been
for two or three years. President Jarvis
has been acti 9 in search for the guilty,
and at a meeting of the board of directors
held a few days ago, informed his confreres
that Young was the culprit. He said
Young. even as confidential book
keeper had handled money for the purchase
OF bones and had credited bone peddlers
with mary pounds of bones that they had
never supplied and hat he had pocketed
the difference between truth and falsity.
This explanation was accepted. Accord
ingiy Young was locked up last night. H
was not shut up in ordinary quarters at
the Jail, but was placed in a room
of the Sheriff's residence. There is an
air OF mystery about the affair and when
a reporter sought an interview at the Jail
this afternoon he Was told negotiations
were under way to settle the affair, and
that he could not see any person. Presi-
dent Jarvis, after consulting with his at
torney, stated this afternoon tnat as neal
as could be ascertained the de'a cation
amounted to $50, 600, and had extended
over a period OF three years, being accom-
plished in q very clever way, SO as to
suspicion most effectualIy. The ac-
ton is one Of trespass in the case for EN-.
bezzlement, and Young is held in $50, GOO
bail, which he has not yet given.
