AN INTER RESTING SCHEME.

A new labor union which will be ex- pected to do all that the other labor unions have failed to do has been planned, and it is solemnly announced that 1t has been decided to admit mill tiamen as members of the new organi- zation. This announcement gives color to some other statements that are in circulation concerning scheme to make of the militia a defense of labor interests" The plan is said to be to secure the enlistment of members of labor organizations in the militia of the several States in sufficient numbers to control or prevent action in case the soldiers are called out to interfere with labor movements. It is claimed by some labor leaders that the refusal of the militia in California to do duty in quelling labor riot was due to the fact that the ranks were full of men who were in sympathy with the rioters. It is averred that many labor men have recently enlisted in the New York regi- ments, though the officers do not think that they have admitted traitors to their ranks. And labor man is quoted as saying: This trouble in the West is not over yet. We are only experiencing Hull in the storm. There is an idea afloat that some labor organizations, and particularly the Knights of Labor, are not in sympathy with Debs. This is a mistake. The Knights are with him. This fight will be renewed, and when it is we will have the militia with us instead of against us, because we will be the militia. The order has come from the West, where we already have a good following in the militia of some of the States, as was indicated by the conduct of the troops in California, but the plans will be engineered here in the East.
 This is big scheme and fully consist ent with some other operations of the labor leaders. It is not probable that it will get far. Colonel Seward of the Ninth regiment of New York has given instructions that hereafter all appli- cants for membership i'll the regiment shall be interrogated as to whether they are members of labor organizations, and his example is a good one for imi- tation. It will not do to have traitors among those whose duty it may be to fight treason.

Authors Homes.

tFrom the London Daily News.l
 Abroad, and especially in France. when a man makes a great literary or musical success. he likes to associate 1t with some permanent record. Du- mas set the fashion sixty years ago by calling a little villa that he built outside Paris Monte Cristo." It kept its name all through the authors life. and retained 1t until year ago, when 1t passed from the family into other hands. Similarly M. de Mau- passant called the yacht,so we'll known on the Riviera, Bel Ami, from the most popular of his ventures. And now M. Planquette has had costructed for him little cottage at Merveille-sur Mer, which he and his neighbors called Villa des Cloches. The neighbors are in fact very proud of it and him. and and the Bonneville people have just presented the villa with a pea of bells forming a chime, so that the run of the "Cloches de Bonneville" may be independent of the carprice of the popularity of the footlights..

THE REPUBLICANS POLICY.
low They VIII Work to Defeat the Wilson
Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Republi-
can policy of opposition to tho Wilson
bill when the vote is reached has been
fully determined upon. 1t ia not the re.
suit OF caucus or formal agreement, but
is the outcome of conference among the
Repu blican leaders during tho last few
days.
representative Higgins, a Republi.
can member of the ways and means com.
mittee, outlined what the plan of pro.
ceedure would be. The motion to re.
commit tho bill, which has boon relied
on by the discontented Democratic ele.
ments, will not receive Republican sup.
contented Democrats are not sufficiently
numerous to carry their point without
Republican support.
The Republican leaders take this
position that there is nothing to be-
gained by recommitting this particular
bill, as they think it might as we'll go
to the Senate in it's present form as
in any other. The Republicans will
center their opposition on a motion to
strike out the enacting clause of the
bill. This differs from the motion to
recommit in that it seeks to kill the
bill outright instead Of sending it to
tho committee for repairs
The Republicans feel that this effort
to kill the entire bill will permit them
to make a consistent record of direct
opposition to the bill. This will be fol.
lowed by a negative vote on the pas
sage of the bill The leaders regard
this as a much more desirable and con
sistent policy than trading with dis
concerted Democratic factions to help
the latter on one item or another.
The policy as thus determined is al
most certain to result in the passage of
the Wilson bill Indeed the Republican
leaders are ready to permit tho Demo.
cratic majority to pass their bill and
thus assume it's possibilities. The
motion to recommit is no longer likely
to prove formidable, as it will have few,
If any, Republican votes
On the other hand the motion to
strike out the enacting clause can
hardly prevail as it is not believed that
sufficient disconnected Democrats will
be found to vote to kill the Wilson bill
outright.
The longest estimate made of discon-
tented Dem ocrats who will join with
the Republicans in the motion to kill
the bill by striking out the enacting
clause is 35 and this with the full Re-
publican vote Of 1875 10 considerably
short of majority.
