eulties of 1877 the cause of the labor unions received considerable i'm petus. There was a demand for q general gala occasion, and in the labor assembly of New York the matter of adopting a special day for this purpose was discussed. No particular result was attained beside adopting the first Monday in September as a day for workingmcn's relaxation.
 With the recurrence of the season the idea spread, and labor unions of all kinds came to select Q day in the first week of September for their celebra- tions of this kind, the custom spread Ing from the cities and manufacturing towns to the country districts until it was well nigh national in it's extent. Up to 1890, however, no state observ- Rnce of the day had taken black. In August of that year Gov. l.. U. Hum- phrey, of Kansas, by request of the Topeka trades assembly, issued proc lamation setting aside the first day of September for labor holiday and ask ing the people of the commonwealth to devote the occasion to the interest of the toilers The proclamation was an Innovation, and Gov. Humphrey was criticized by many. for his action. Time, however, demonstrated his good judgment, for several other governors speedily followed his example and state legislatures took action on the subject until, before congress had na- tionalized the day, more than half the states already had labor days of their own.
 The bill adopted June 2S was advo- cated by Congressman Cummings, who immediately after it's passage by house and senate took it himself to President Cleveland and witnessed it's signature. The bill was a long time on the cal endar, but required only short time for reading or discussion, for it is ex- ceedingly brief. It Is as follows:
 "Be it enacted etc.. That the first Monday tn September in each year being the day cele- brated and known as Labors holiday is here by made a legal public holiday, to all intents and purposes in the same manner as Christi mas the lst day of January, the 22d day of February, the 3Oth day of May and tho 4th day of July are now made by law public holl- days"
 In one respect the law is curious one, for it is unusual for congress to legislate on the subject of holidays ex- .cept for the District of Columbia. There are exceptions, but they are of a special character. April 30, 1889, the centennial anniversary of theinaugura- tion of the first president was made a national public holiday throughout the United States by the act of March 2, 1889. The last congress also passed joint resolution authorizing the pres idcnt to recommend october 1, 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of the

 The sugar trust has won.
 Its victory in congress is complete.
 The administration also recognizes it's supremacy
 The Clevelands and Wilson's, nc less than the Germans and Brices, arc it's subservient supporters.
 A tariff bill has finally been passed which is not only acceptable to both branches of congress and President Cleveland, but also has the approval of the American Sugar Refineries com pany, the incorporated title of the sugar trust.
 The stumbling block" which has been in the pathway of tariff reform" ever since the house refused to accept the senate's amendments to the Vii. son bill, the senate refused to recede the president wrote to Representative Wilson and Senator Gosman replied to the presidents letter, was placed there by the sugar trust. In word, the trust "held up" both the congress and the president and refused to allow the procession to proceed until its high. wayman demands had been conceded. The concession was made evidently as the result of the three-cornered con sultation at the white house between Grover Cleveland, Arthur r. German and William l.. Wilson.
 The revised tariff bill which has been passed by congress is not com. promise bill, in the sense that the sen. ate and house have made niutual con. sessions in order to harmonize conflict. ing elements. The concessions are all on one side and have been made by the house and the president to the senate and the sugar trust. They were the indispensable condition on which the trust would remove its op- position and permit tariff bill to pass; and the Wilson's and Clevelands have bowed their heads and submitted to the very yoke which the Germans and Brices have worn and for which

Democratic Principles and the New Tariff
 Biu.

I
 Before the tariff bill was passed Mir.
 Cleveland said of it that put through
 in the form in which it went to the
 conference committee it meant party
 perfldy and party dishopor." He said | further that mo tariff measure can accord with democratic principles or promises or bear genuine democratic badge that does not provide for free raw materials" As coal and iFon ore have not been put on the free list the new law does not accord with genuine democratic principles according to the presidents idea of them,
 But the democrats outside of the white house, even those who but q few days ago were commenting Mir. Cleveland for his heroic stand in sup port of the sound doctrine, are of the opinion now that the new law is not so undemocratic after all Even Larry Neal, the author of the radical plank in the pational platform which calls for the destruction tof all protection as unconstitutional and robbery, says:
 "I nm well satisfied with the termination of the contest The bill,just passed is n wonder ful improvement on the Mckinley law md makes q long step in the right direotioas Tho reductions are substantial and will prove Very beneficial to the country"
 The Indiana democrats in their plat form say:
 We approve the efforts of President Cleyc- land and his administration. and of the demo cratic house of representatives, and of n large majority of the democratic senator's and our distinguished senators from Indiana, D. W. Voorhees, and David Furple. and our entire democratic delegation lu con- gress to redeem the pie dges made to the coun- try by the last democratic convention md to execute the will of the American people as ex- pressed at the ballot box in 1892"
 Owing to the exertions of Senator German and few others those '.cf- forts were n failure and the demo- cratic congress was fur from carrging out the pledges made in the platform of 1892. Nevertheless the convention congress that " n sub.

stantial measure of reform had been effected" What Mir. Cleveland called party perfdy and party dishonor" it called substantial measure of re- form" Nor did Gov. Matthews in his speech to the convention talk of the new tariff measure in the language used by Mir. Cleveland. Said he.ii...,d. !.
 We may not Tn the present measure and the present congress secure all that may be de- sired, but 1t Is just as sure as night will follow the day that all Legislation that may give re- lief in the direction Of true tarif reform is to remain upon the statutes fixed and secure. It may be added to and advanced, but it will nevermore be taken from or moved backward" l"
 Not one of these democrats has q word to say about the sugar trust pro visions of their new law. Not one of them condemns the few concessions made to special industries to win the votes of one or two democratic sen. atOrs. They are all going to accept the measure as "a step in the right tii- rection," and promise more steps in the same direction when they get chance.
 Mir. Cleveland said in his letter to Chairman Wilson: You know how much deprecated the introduction in the bill of the income tax feature" The Indiana democrats say that isr3a wise and equitable measure.ns By the terms of the law that tax will run for only five years. If the democratic party is in power four years hence the Indiana members of that organization will insist on a continuance of the int come tax on larger scale. They will demand graduated tax then. sE
 The policy of the dcmocrats for this falls campaign is outlined clearly. They will say nothing about Clever lands letter to Wilson, and nothing about the sugar trust. They will stand up for their new law, because it is a step in the direction of free trade, and will promise more steps at the first opportunity the people may be foolish enough to give them.

the state board of cunvassers ON Tues
day morning by the Supreme court and
accordingly, Messrs. Jochiin, lIambitzer
and Berry we're formally oustcd from

times recountcd in these columns. At
the spring election in 1898 the electors

but as tho Supreme court has held in
similar cases that such npproyals carry

Commissioner Lnmoranx decision,
that the lands OF the l.. S. s. c. company
were improperly conveyed TO that COM
pany aud that its title wns therefore de-
iective, Is causing some uneasiness TO
those Who hold lands under title derived
from that company, and exciting some
inquiry by others who would like to nc
quire such lands under the homestead
law. AS to that decision Mr.. J. M.
Longyear, the company's agent says,
promising that he has no pee uuiary in
tercst: From what have seen in the
papers / am rather inclined to think,
however, that the commissioner is
thrashing over some old straw. The
point that these lands were reserved ar
mineral lands and hence improperly
approved TO the ship canal company
was rniscd some years ngo and, MS | re
collect, was gone over pretty thoroughly
at that time. As now recall the matter
no evidence could be found that thes,
lpnds had been reserved as mineral
lhnds.'"
One thing is certain says nm exchange
the man who attempts to get possession
OF any such lands otherwise than b,
consent Of the company, buys law
suit and will pay full value for th'
property before he gets tito. When th'
United States has extineuished th'
Canal company's title and formally pu'
the lands on the market will he time
enough to scramble iar them.
