WHITE

The first victory for organized labor
this session of Congress, was scored
last week in the Senate by the passage
of the following amendment to the
census bill by a vote of AZ to~4:
WHITE -.
That it shall be the duty. of the
Superint endent of Census, in addition
to the duties now required Of him by
law, to ascertain the number of per.
sons who live on and cultivate their
own farms, and who live in their own
homes, and the number who hire their
farms and homes, and the number of
farms and homes which are under
mortgage, the amount OF mortgage
debt, and the value of the property
mortgaged. He shall also ascertain
whether such farms and homes have
been mortgaged for the whole or part
of the purchase money for the same,
or for other purposes, and the rates Ct
interest paid upon mortgage loans.
Sec. 2. That for the purpose of this
act the sum OF, $1,000, 900 is hereby
appropriated. out of any money in the,
Treasury not otherwise appropriated.
The four Senators voting against it
were Sherman, Morrill,, Mcpherson
and Stockbrldge. 1t might be well
to cut these names out for future ref.
erence. The change of sentiment in
the Senate regarding this matter is
remarkable, and a be attributed to
but one se-ne from constitu-
ents. The National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union and the Knights
of Labor should now take fresh cour.
age and move on to other victories.

TN u issue of last week we had
occasion to show the utter lncon.
sistency of the NewS and Observer on,
the matter of q State railroad COM
mission. We showed from its. own
columns that while the legislature
was in session last winter, it was
strongly an favor of a commission.
We showed from its columns of the
29th ult., that it is now opposed to a
commission. In it's issue of the 5th
inst, it attempts to get out of its I'm.
enviable ~predicament by the plea that
the present editor was not the editor
of the paper last winter. Well, this
will be laughable news to the people,
especially to the citizens of Raleigh,
and most especially to the members
Of the legislature, which met here last
winter. The present editor is simply
