New York's Labor Commissioner Peck
himself convicts New York's La
Dor Commissioner Peck of falsehood In
May last he wrote that when his labor
report for 81 did come ont lie would
furnish the most complete refutation of
the theories of the protectionists in re-
gard to wages that has ever been pub
lished. Says he:
Il shall also continue the results Of all
labor disturbances occurring in the state
during the last year, and show that out
Of the thousands of successful strikes for
increase of wages not one was or is at
trbutable 10 protection. And | shall
show from the manufacturers themselves
that iii no since instance where there
was an increa. of wages was il vOun-
tary on their part. Excep; in individual
cases every increase was the result of
the demand on the part of employees en-
forced through their organization"
And yet whom Pecks report did come
out it was exactly the reverse of what
he had said it would be. Peck evidently
was tampered with.

Another effort is TO be made to secure
the release of Mrs. Maybrick. the Ameri-
can woman who is undergoing a life
sentence in England for the murder of
her husband by poisoning. This time
the petition is sighed by Mrs. Harrison
and Mrs. Blaine. and has been forwarded
to Queen Victoria. The reason why
these ladies have signed the request is
because there has always been doubt
as to whether Mrs. Maybrick really
committed the crime. Heretofore Queen
Victoria has invariably sent a negative
response to all such petitions because the
faithlessness of Mrs. Maybrick to her
husband was proven beyond dspute,-
in fact she confessed it, and the Queens
standard of morality is so high that she
regards crime of that kind as, of
itself, worthy of Imprisonment for life.
On this occasion the request is signed
by the wife of the President of the
United States, however, and international
courtesy may induce Her Majesty TO
give it favorable consideration.

Quartermaster Field has written let
ter to the Virginia Sun, organ of the
Third party at Richmond, which the Sun
has been indisCreet enough to publish.
In it he says:
'When the presidential election comes
on our party will ask the United States
Judge to appoint supervisor of election
az every precinct. This will to a great
extent protect US in that election"
So now we have it at last The Quar-
termaster comes ont openly and pro-
claims himself and party to be in favor
of the most odious and detestable meas
IRE that the white people of the South
Rave ever had hung over their heads
Federal control of their local elections.
The germ and essence of the Force bill
are in what Quartermaster Field de-
clares that he and his party are in favor
OF. The odious and detestable feature
o. the Force bill is the control of our
elections which it gives to the appointees
of Republican Federal Judges, and the
Quartermaster declares openly, over his
own signature, that he will seek to apply
that feature to our elections so far as
the acts of Congress now in force will
allow him to do ii. What Southern
man can vote with the Third party after
this? What is it but an annex of the
Force-bill, South-hating Republican
party?

Hare is the complete circular For the
purpose of adding as much interest as pos
sible to the opening OF the Exposition in
October, trades parade will take place on
October 8, 1892.
The Chamber of Commerce. "a the prin-
cipal business organization. has been asked
by those who favor the proposition to take
charge of the matter in conjunction with
committee Of tho Exposition. Upon par
tisl canvass to ascertain the sentiment OF
the merchants and manufacturers, the idea
was so favorably received that it was decided
to do so. and over eighty dealers and manu-
faoturers have already signifed their pur-
pose to participate by having floats or
wagons advertising their business in line.
A most creditable display must be made
by our city. first to impress the great num-
Der of strangers who will be in our midst
with the extent and Importance of our ia
cilities, and secondly, since we have ex-
tended an invitation to sister Southern
cities 10 be represented in the parade. we
must not suffer by comparison. Every citl-
zen who has any business or industry that
can be displayed is requested to consider
the subject, and to respond at once as to
whether he will be represented. so that the
marshal can begin the work of classifying
and arranging the details of the parade. 1t
is not only question of each man advertising
his own goods. but also advertising the pro-
gressiveness Of our city, and that piano.
ramic view may be presented of the extent
aud variety of our business interests. We
want to make the parade thing OF such
proportions as to impress every spectator
with our enterprise and thrift. This will
have It's due effect show the importance Of
Richmond as a source of supply, and, 1t is
believed, attract future orders in addition to
aiding the Exposition. in which every resi-
dent of the city should feel a lively interest
and pride.
The tobacco. iron. grocery and other i'm
portant manufacturing and jobbing trades
have not yet been canvassed tully. but the
floats aud displays already booked insure a
procession several miles IN length.

Speaking Of Labor Commissioner Peck's
anti Cleveland report ia New York,
" hereby he asserts that the Mckinley
law has resulted in increasing the wages
of the laboring men of the State, Senator
Voorhees, says:
1T really amounts to nothing. l have
had enough experience covering thirty
years to know that voluntary reports
made by parties heavily interested per-
sonally, as are these manufacturers,
ere valucleSs in the investigation Of n
cause in which they are the defendants.
That there were no increases in wages
during the year following the enactment
of the Mckinley bill is matter Of uni
versal notoricty. From every stump the
speakers have been unavaifngly looking
for the man whose wages were raised by
the Mckinley law. The great contests
which have been in progress between
the manufacturers and their employees,
and which are still on have not been and
are not being waged for increased wages,
but to prevent reductions
The Senator speaks truth. From every
stump there have been vain searches for
the man whose wages have been in
creased by the Mckinley law. But il
anyone wants to find 4 whole army of
men whose wages have been reduced
since the Mckinley law went into effect,
let him apply to Carnegie, Frick e Co.,
Pittsburg, or to the New York Central
railroad

CAMPFIRE NOTES.

AT the annual meeting of the trustees OF
4 the Soldiers Home at Bennington, July
27, Gen. VIM. l.. Greenleaf and Lieut.
Gov. Urban A. Woodbury. both of Bur-
liDgton, We're chosen trustees in place OF
Gen. VIM. Wells, deceased, and Hon. War
ren Gibbs, removed from Vermont. The
officers elected were: Judge Hugh Henry
OF Chester, pres; Col. Chas. c. Kinsman
Of Rutland, sec'y; Col. John c. Stearns of
Bradford, treas. There are fifty inmates
and several petitions for entrance were
approved. Among the notable improve
ments voted were electric lights, increas-
ed sewerage and thorough repair of the
fountain. The salary OF Major r. J.Cof-
fey, superintendent, was increased, and
both himself and wife, as superintendent
and matron, were continued, with prop
er recognition for services already given.
Gen. Stephen Thomas of Montpelier has
been awarded medal by the war depart
ment for distinguished conduct at the bat
tie OF Cedar Creek, Oct. 10, 1864. He dis
tinguished himself repeatedly as Colonel
of the Sth VT. Volunteers, particularly at
the assault on Port Hudson, May 81, 1853
He commanded the second brigade of the
first division Of the 18th corps, under Gem
eral Sheridan, and did gallant service in
all the battles OF Sheridan's famous cam
paign in the Shenandoah valley. After
the rout OF the 8th corps at Cedar Creek,
the perilous duty OF resisting the Confed-
crates was given Gen. Thomas and his
brigade and, hy stubborn and effective
fighting, he held back the division for
over an hour, with the loss OF half of the
fighting force of his brigade and more
than half OF the Sth VT, while the Union
forces were being formed in the rear. His
friends and fellow soldiers in Montpelier
and the State rejoice that his bravery has
received official recognition.

"The Resources OF Vermont.

This is the title of a carefully COM
piled, well edited and handsomely
printed pamphlet of GA pages, just is
sued by the State Board of Agricul-
ture, out of money saved by it from
the annual appropriation for its use,
and contributions from few public
spirited men in VT, and the proceeds
of a few advertisements. 1t is far bet
ter than the first work and will do
much good.
We notice that the Ludlow Tribune
criticises the work severely because i
contains a write-up Of Andover and
none of Ludlow. Last spring short
notice was sent TO the editor of each
paper in the state, in sealed envelope
with the word Personal written ON
the corner. which stated in substance
what the Board proposed to do and in
vited articles descriptive of the advan-
tages. resources and attractions OF the
various towns of the state, offering TO
publish such free, as far as space
would permit. The editor OF the Irlb-
uue must have received one of these
letters and it is his own fault that Lud-
low was not written up, for had he
published the very short article, some
one in Ludlow would have had inter-
est enough in the town to do this, even
if he had not. As it was, all articles
sent, descriptive of towns, were pub
lished. and there was room for several
more. Andover had men who were
not only competent to write up the
town but who accepted the invitation
and did so. Other towns have no fault
to find. They alone are to blame #
left out.
