MR.. HALSTEAD'S REJECTION.
The New York Times Thinks the Senates Action

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Times, this
morning quotes the editorial of the Com
mercial Gazette on the rejection of Mr.. Hal
stead, and then says: I'VE are bound to
say that we believe this statement to be
substantially correct. 1t would be possible
to render more satisfactory and trust

ceedings of the Senate were not wrapped
in secrecy, and the words as well as votes
of the Senators screened from public scru-
tiny. That is at once a misfortune and
disgrace. But the Senators who are now,
for second time. held up to reprobation
and contempt for their conduct growing
out of the Payne scandal, are not, from the
very fact of the secrecy In which they hide,
entitled to the benefit of any doubt that
may arise from lack of knowledge. They
cannot complain If they are judged by the
known facts only, when they prevent the
public from knowing all the facts. The

their conduct, and none other is. 1t must

the interests of their party, as they have
usually interpreted those interests.

doubtful State. But they have done more
than this. They have justified a general
suspicion as to the purity of the Senate.
They have given reason for the opinion
that there are enough Republican Senators
to turn the scale on any question, who are
actuated by motives that are not honorable,
and that their motives are strong
enough to overcome party, fdelity
and to break down party discipline. This
opinion will certainly be held largely in
Ohio and it will be spread with the great
est zeal and persistency by the most popu-
lar newspaper in that State. 1t cannot but

Employers and Workmen Cannot Agree, and

Employers and Workmen Cannot Agree, and
the Strike Season Opens.
ST. LOUIS, April About 1 200 of the O.
600 carpenters in this city went out on
strike this morning. The causes leading up
to this action are a demand of the men for
an eight-hour day and 40 cents per hour as
standard wages The bosses seem to have
generally conceded the eight-hour day. but
are divided about the wages, many of
them being unwilling to give more than 30
cents per hour. In addition to this the men
are much agitated over the fact that the
bosses persistently ignore the Brotherhood
of Carpenters, and say they are determined
to have recognition as an organization: w.
H. Kilver, vice-president of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, has been
in the city several weeks, has been active
in working up the movement, and will
have charge of the strike. The carpenters
met at Central Turner Hall this morning
and appointed committees to look after the
interests of the strikers. The men are firm
in their position, and as the boss carpen-
ters decline to recognize the demands of
their former employees bitter struggle is
probable. Work on large number of
buildings has been suspended and there is
much sOlicitude as to the outcome of the
trouble.

In and About New York.

NEW YORK, April To-day the Framers'
Union submitted it's agreement to the en-
pioyers in this city for ali equalization of
wages here, in Brooklyn and Jersey City
an agreement binding the employers to pay
40 cents per hour for day work and double
price for overtime and Sunday work. This
was submitted to the employers who had
not already signed tile agreement and is to
be binding until May next. About twenty
five of the largest shops have given in, but
in some shops the proposition was refused
and about 80 men went out. Reports from
six shops showed that the men had sue
ceeded in getting the demands. The strik-
ers are confident of success, as this is the
busy season.
The German Painters Union started to-
day their demand for uniform rate of
$3.50 for nine hours work. OF the 1,1O0
members of the union about 400 are now
getting that figure. When the demand was
made to-day, over twenty employers re-
fused the increase and their men went out
on strike. About $50 men were reported
out at noon and more were expected to fol-
low.

Public Printer and Land Commissioners.
WASHINGTON, April Lit seems to be the
universal expectation among Senators that
the Senate will adjourn the present special
session sine die tomorrow. If the session
ends tomorrow it will then have been of
exactly the same length as the one con-
vened by President Arthur to receive
President Cleveland's nominations. Presi-
dent Harrison has sent in about three hun
dred and fifty nominations since the 5th OF
March, all of which, with a very few eX-
ceptions, have been reported from COM
mittees and will have been confirmed be-
fore adjournment.
Or the offices yet to be filled the most i'm
portant are Commissioner of the General
Land Office and Public Printer. 1t is be-
lieved they will be filed within a few days.
Editor Osborne, of the Los Angeles Even
ing Express, is believed to be the coming
man for Public Printer, but no satisfactory
guess can be made as to the Land Commits
sioner. 1t is the general opinion that w.
M. Meredith, of Chicago, who was sup
posed to be the coming man for Public
Printer, will succeed E. o. Graves as
Superintendent of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing.
Most of the Senators will gladly welcome
the respite from public cares for a season,
having been in practically continuous ses-
sion since Dec f. 1887 and will take the
earliest opportunity to leave the city.
