Grover Cleveland is the only President
of the United States who ever sent a
special message to Congress in the in
terest OF the laboring men. In this do
cument he said:
am so deeply impressed with the i'm
portance of Immediately and thoughtfully
meeting the problem which recent events
and present conditions have thrust upon
us, involving the settlements of disputes
arising between our laboring men and
their employers, that am
constrained to recommend to Congress
Hesitation upon this serious and pressing
subject.
Under our form of government the
value of labor as an element Of national
prosperity should be distinctly recognized
and the welfare of the laboring man
should be regarded as especially entitled
to legislative care. In country which
offers to all it's citizens the highest at.
tainment of social and political distinc-
ton, its workingmen cannot justly Or
safely be considered as irrevocably con-
signed to the limits of class and entitled
to no attention and allowed no protest
against neglect.
The laboring man, bearing in his hand
an indispensable contribution to our
growth and progress, may well insist,
with manly courage and as a right, upon
the same recognition from those who
make our laws as is accorded to any
other citizen having valuable interest
in charge and his reasonable demands
should be met in such spirit of appre-
ciation and fairness as to induce a con-
tented and patriotic cooperation in the
achievement OF grand national destiny.
The present condition of the relations
between labor and capital is far from
satisfactory. The discomfort OF the en-
ployed is due in a large degree to the
grasping and needless eXactions OF EN-
ployers, and the alleged discrimination
in favor OF capital as an object of govern
mental attention.

WHILE NO consideration of race should
enter into the question when the Demo
cratic County Convention comes to make
its nominations, still, all points of fitness
and propriety considered, all the various
elements which compose our quite cos
mopolitan population ought to be con.
sidered when it comes to naming the
Democratic County nominees. The Re.
publicans quite ostentatiously put no man
of foreign birth on their ticket. Theil
omission to do so was SO significant as tc
be offensive. The Democrats should not
make this mistake. We have amongst
US large French and German popula-
ton, from whom many men of conspicu-
GUS worth can be readily selected. They
should be represented on the roster Of
Democratic candidates. At least one ma.
tive Californian should be on it likewise
Then the county ought to be fully con.
sidered. 1t will not do to have most ol
the candidates hailing from the city, fol
that would excite invidious comment
Careful thought ought to be devoted to
all Of these propositions, and ticket
harmonious and representative of all in
terests and classes of the community
should be placed before the people.

THE Express does not seem to be con-
tent to accept the New York Herald as a
Republican paper, and it is equally un-
willing to recognize the Evening Post,
Times and Harper's Weekly as in regular
Republican standing. We regret this
obstinacy on the part OF our contem por-
ary. Perhaps we should have described
them as whilom Republican journals
disgusted with Republican men and
measures. The last three supported Ira
Davenport for Governor and last year
they supported Fred Grant and the rest
OF the Republican State ticket. In addi.
ton to being Republicans the editors ol
these journals are good patriots, and
they are ready to put country above
party when man like Cleveland chal-
lenges their suffrages. 1t is true that
they supported Cleveland in 1884, but
there is nothing strange in that, as they
are supporting him now. They believe
in the admonition of St. Paul to hold
fast to that which is good. The three
journals named were for years and years
the brightest and most brilliant advo-
Gates of Republican principles. The fact
that they are now found battling for the
Democracy is most convincing evidence
that the party of Cleveland and Thur
man is right.

THE Administration outside of politics
or place always renders unto Caesar that
which belongs to Caesar. A bill has been
introduced into Congress to reward
the bravery of Stoneman of California
by placing him on the retired list of the
army with rank of Colonel of Infantry,
corresponding to the volunteer rank OF
Major General, which he so
gallantly earned in the great
struggle. The Eagles of a good man
like Stoneman are monumental in the
way of record, while the white plumes
of he who ne'er saw or fought are like
broken reeds in the wind.

New YORK, August 17.-Before the

to-day Superintendent Jackson, of Castle
Garden, said he did not consider an able
bodied farmland immigrant who was
penniless, pauper. He thought the
Castle Garden officials should be en-
powered to look after the intentions of
emigrants brought over under contract,
and proper appropriations should be
made. The head tax, too, should be in
creased. AS practicable scheme to
keep criminals from landing all foreign

DANIEL MANNING, Democratic Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and a just man,
animadverted severely upon the frauds
and undervaluations directly attributable
to ad valorem duties. The Mills bill,
Democratic, increases the number OF ad
valorem duties.-[ Tribune.
1t is quite true that Mr.. Manning so
animadverted, but his animadversions
were directed to the corrupt manner in
which Republican officials administered
the law. All this takes us back to the
scandalous Lect investigation held in
New York city, in the winter OF 1S7l-72,
and which developed such monumental
rottenness. Under an honest Democratic
Collector of the Port of New York, like
Magone, there is no difficulty. We have
passed from the corrupt Republican re
gime of addition, division and silence, )"
to one of honest Democratic administra-
tion-which means to regime of ac-
countability and responsibility to the
people,

The "Coy Voter" who asked two
questions Of the Times yesterday, init
mating that the answer may determine
his vote, does not receive much consola-
ton. The first question is not Of special
interest, but to the second the following
answer is returned:
The second extract states that during
the Indiana senatorial contest of 1867,
upon the nopination of General Har-
rison, a district assembly of Knights oil
Labor adopted resolutions requesting
friends of labor in 1ndiana to vote and
work against him. To this we have only
to remark that the fact that set of men
opposed General Harrison two years ago
should constitute no reason why our cor
respondent should not vote for him, pro.
vided he is satisfied in his own mind
that the principles whish General Har-
rison represents are correct and such as
our inquiring friend would desire to see
enforced. If our young correspondent
abstains from voting for man. because
that man has been attacked by some
body, it is very palpably evident that his
maiden vote will never be cast. Let
him brace up and vote for Harrison, un.
less he is sure some other candidate is
better stuff.
1t is quite likely that this 'Coy Voter
will brace himself and put in solid bal
lot for Cleveland and Thurman, the
friends OF the wage-earners. The ques
tons were based on two slips cut from
the HERALD and enclosed to the Times
Just let this young man keep on eadins
the HERALD and he will come out al
right.

PROPOSED JOINT TARIFF DEBATE
Bill to Retire General StOneman
Naval Cadets Rebuked.
Congress-.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. !
WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE Star
this evening says a proposition is under
consideration by the Democratic CAM
paign managers to arrange for a joint
discussion of the tariff question by Carl
isle and Blaine, in twelve of the princi-
pal cities of the Union, to be named by
Blaine and the Speaker.
A bill to authorize the President to ap-
point George Stoneman, of California,
formerly Major-General of Volunteers,
and Colonel Of Infantry, on the retired
list Of the Army, was to-day introduced
in the Senate by Stewart.
A post Office has been established al
Hyde Park, Los Angeles county, Califor.
mia, with Eugene Tarrey postmaster.
Secretary Whitney has ordered Ad-
miral Luce, commanding the South
Atlantic squadron, to proceed in the
Galena to Port-au-Prince, as the presence
of an American man-of-war is needed
there on account Of the state of martial
law which exists.
Secretary Bayard, in an interview with
Post reporter tonight, in regard to the
Senate, said: 81 have no knowledge,
and never had any knowledge, of any
intention on the part of the President to
rejection of the treaty will not necessar.
lily terminate the modus vivendi which
has been in force the last two years. He
L, Ia sr,.kt ~
the right of Canada to withdraw it, since
the proposition came from their side. As
to the fulther policy of the Government
the Secretary had nothing to say. The
Republican Senators, he said, have put
themselves against every possible treaty.
The Retaliation act is still law, said
Bayard, and may be practically applied
by the President at any time.
THE PRESIDENT ON HAZING.
In the cases of the naval cadets recent
ly tried by court-martial at Annapolis
for hazing and sentenced to dismissal
the President has commuted the sentence
to confinement for thirty days and de.
privation of half-annual leave. The
President says: The offence for which
the accused are convicted, is an unman-
ly and cowardly one, which for all rea
sons deserves the severest condemnation
1t has been exceedingly difficult forme te
consider the applications for clemency
which have been addressed me by friends
of the parties under conviction, but 1 an
led to hope if leniency is shown these
cases, the punishment which the offend
ers will still suffer, though less than dis
missal, will sufice,for their correction
and serve as warning to their fellow ca
diets. l desire it distinctly understood
that clemency shown in these cases is no
to be considered precedent for fu-
ture executive interference, and that
severest sentences recommended upol
future convictions, will be executed.

THE lame attempt of the Republican
majority of the Senate to recoup some of
the lost standing of their party by the in
cubation Of tariff bill counter to the sa.
gacious measure formulated by the Dem
ocratic House of Representatives will
deceive nobody. By the Constitution OF
the United States all bills relating to the
imposition of revenue must originate in
the lower house. If the Republican SEN
ators had really desired to benefit their
constituents they would have prom pity
passed bill which grants no larger vol
ume of relief than the Republican party
has been pledged to. To change the
measure radically is of course to defeat
relief for this session of Congress, and to
practically nullify the popular demand
for reform at the same time that the Re-
publican leaders ignore the letter and
spirit of the Constitution Of their country.

THE betting on the election in New
York is now two to one in favor of Har-
rison.
The above, from the Times of yester-
day, is about as near as that paper ever
gets to the truth. The HERALD's New
York special, received on Thursday, says
that an offer of $4,000 to $6 900 on the
election of Cleveland in that State found
no takers. A small bet of 81 1000 to $500
on Cleveland was the only soft thing
snapped up by the Democrats that day on
Wall street. Therefore, the Times para
graph should be read backwards.

wIsE.NIAHONE QUARREL.
The National Committee Tries to
Adjust Their Differences.

New YORK, August 1.-THE Exec
utive Committee of the Republican Ma
tional Committee met to-day to adjust
the differences in Virginia caused by the
bolt of ex-Congressman Wise and James
S. Brady and others, from the Malone
faction some time ago. After deliberat-
ing nearly two hours the Committee de-
cided that the proposal made by the Re-
publican Committee Of Virginia, presided
over by General Malone, to submit the
question of elections in the six contested
districts of Virginia, to district conven-
tions to be convened for nominating
congressman, ought to be accepted by
that wing OF the Republican party pre-
sided over by Colonel Houston, but the
Committee held that in the interest of
harmony, the persons calling the meet
ings to order should not designate The
temporary chairman, but that the selec-
ton of said chairman should be left en-
tirely to the meetings and conventions
| themselves.

THERE is good deal of "bragian i'm.
perence" in Republican newspapers talk
ing about British gold in connection with
the Democratic party while all the time,
their candidate for Vice-President, that
persevering enemy of the silver interests
of the Pacific Slope, Levi P. Morton, is
partner in the London banking house Of
Sir John Rose & Co. One feels like
echoing the slang refrain, "Come off,

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Tri-
bune, has British gold on the brain. This
time it is $10,0O0,0O which the British
Free Traders have contributed towards
defraying the expenses of re-electing
Mr.. Cleveland. This may be politics
and journalism, but it is of a very poor
caliber. Our contemporary puts very
low estimate on the intelligence of its
readers, when it INDUCES in such pitiful
twaddle at second hand. We will ven-
ture to say that there is not human
being in the United States outside of a
lunatic asylum who believes that 80
small sum as five cents or
any other amount has been SUBJ
scribed in England for that pur-
pose, or for any other purpose connected
with American politics. All this rot is
introduced by the imbecile formula, with
no name given, of ga gentleman who
lately arrived from England" etc., the
old, old chestnut. Sensible Englishmen
know that British trade has more to fear
from an equitably adjusted tariff, which
will admit the raw materials of manufac-
turing free, that from any other causes or
all other causes combined, because it will
enable skilled American labor to contest
British supremacy in all the markets of
the world. 1t is a poor cause that re-
quires to pe buttressed by downright
lying.

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, August 17.-This has again
been a very active week in wool, and the
sales reported are the largest for any one
week, amounting to over $4,000, 900

kinds OF domestic wool the market is
very firm. The largest movement this
week has been in Territory wools, with
prices firm on Montana grades, the sales
being made principally at 10 and 20
cents, with one very choice selling at rs
cents. Other Territory woods have been
in range of 13 to 10 cents. California
wool was steady, with sales of 665 900
pounds, including 100000 pounds of
Humboldt clip.
