THE DIFFERENCE.

The New York Journal has another congressional victim in contempla- tion. This time 1t is one R. H. Foer- derer, ir., a member elected from Pennsylvania. The objection to Foerderer is not based on mormon ism, like that of Roberts of Utah, but on that of being public plunderer. ssHe has in his pocket part of at least $5,OO0,0OO stolen from the people of Philadelphia. Then after compar- ing the ofense of one with that of the other, the Journal remaEksg , Mo- body pretends that he was moved by religious conviction in stealing this property as Roberts was in talk ing his surplus wives. Why should not Foerderer be expelled as soon as the house meets? The power of the house to expel member is absolute. It may expel him for any cause whatever. It may expel him for merely not being a gentleman. Is there any possible reason why 1t should not expel thief ?"
 Yet we opine that the Journal will hardly inaugurate any extended crusade against this Philadelphia congressman as it did against the man from Utah. It is too sagacious not to realize the futility of the ex- pertinent. People are not moved 50 readily by their moral feelings as by their religious prejudices. No cru sade of the Women's Christian Tenn perance Union, for instance, will be inspired against Foerderer as was against Roberts. Besides, the Jour- nal must realize also that there are too many of the same kind of states men in the halls of our national leg islature-actual or would be should the opportunity ofer-to for a mo- ment contemplate the hope of their ever bringing themselves to turn down a brother for any such cause as that. And again, Foerderer Is a member of the party in power, and that makes difference.

Maritime Workers, Federation.

The unions composed of men em- ployed in the different branches of maritime industry are seriously con- sidering the formation of a new fedora tion. A prominent member of one of the maritime unions characterizes the plan as a labor trust Ut will be a trust comprising every branch of labor employed on the boats, from captain to deckhand, and everybody on the dock who has anything to do with the han ding of the freight" said he.
 ''There has been this trouble hereto fore with all the organizations of ma r1ne men. They have been merely for one or another particular class. The engineers have their association for the benefit only of engineers. Other branches are the same. A little has been accomplished for good probably In each organization except the cap- tains'. The shippers have gradually lost their once mighty power and come down the scale to a position relatively no better than that of any other paid laborer. The facility with which ves- sels can be reported nowadays keeps 7 the owners in constant touch with their ships The shippers have foreseen the time coming when an attempt will be made to cut their wages down and have organized for mutual protection.
 1.-The plan under way now is to unite all the different organizations under one body, so that when one branch has a. grievance the whole body will know of it and be able to assist in adjusting the conditions. The Longshoremen's union, with 100000 members, is con- sidered the natural base for the opera tion of this combine, and already steps to that end have been taken by the organization. If the prejudice between the shippers and the other classes of labor can be overcome, it is likely l. at within a year all branches of the mari time industry will be allied.'

proving prison cOnd1C1OnS.
 According to his theory, confinement within prison walls detracts from the strength of mind and body. The moral atmosphere is tainted and contaminat- ing. There is no distinction made be- tween the most debased criminal and the man who erred through the strenu- ous pressure of unfortunate circum- stances. He maintains that out of the B, ,OOO criminals in the United States 25,OOO are detained within the prison walls on account of the defects of the present system.
 In prison the convict is frequently employed in time killing drudgery, ar gues the senator. His labor benefits neither himself nor the state. When the prisoner is released, mind and body are both weakened by confinement. Reproach and contempt follow as a matter of course. Under such circum- stances there is no chance for the dis charged prisoner who wants to lead an honest life. He cannot make liv- ing in competition with his fellows Vagrancy and fresh crimes are the in- evitable results.
 By labor in the arid regions the con- victs could work in the open air. Their surrounding would be the most health full. The labor, insists the senator, would be pleasant and less onerous

and now a refugee ip indiana, ard bis
former Secretary OF State, Finley, both
of whom are badly wanted by the Ken
tucky authorities for alleged psrtlclps'
ton In the murder Ex-Governor William
0oebel. The bill introduced by Mr..
Henry amends section 5278 OF the Re
vIsed Statutes of the United States. so
that fugative from justice cannot re-
ly on the political friendliness ofapy
Governor of any State or Territory. IL
provIdes that when any agent OF any
executive OF any State, from which any
fugitive from Justice has fed, produces a
oopv of an indictment found, or an sfti-
dayit made before q magistrate OF any
State or Territory charging the person
who has thus fed, and demanding his
person, With having committed treason,
felony, or other crime, certified as au-
thentic by the Governor OF the State or
Territory from which the person 80
charged has fed. such demand, to-
gether with the indictment or affidavit,
alone, shall be conclusive evidence
and indisputable proof to executive
authority and courts of any State, that
such person is fugitive from justice.
n makes 1t mandatory upon the Gov
ernor of such State to cause the arrest
of such fugitive, and have his person
delivered to the agent of the State de-
manding him. The passage OF the
shove bill would effectually end the
controversy between the Governor OF
