II is interesting To note that two of the three
Democrats on the bench voted with the MAJOR
ify. IN spite of the traditional Democratic doc
trine of State rights on the one hand, and the
more recent Democratic tendency, on the other'
to support sumptuary and semi-socialistie meas
ures OF class legislation urged in the name OF
labor Their course indicates that the contro-
versy, TO their minds touches something more
fundamentally Democratic than State rights or
labor melioration-namely, the principle of in
dividuaI liberty That is the cornerstone or
American institutions It means a free oppor-
funity for every man to make his own way un-
hampered by artificial regulation by government
or trade union. II means the States refusal TO
set a point beyond which a man may not rise
by superior energy and industry ana 1t ought
TO mean the refusal Of the people thus to make
any organizations standard of achievement the
maximum beyond which the ambitious may
not go.
The ten hour day may be an excellent thing
for the bakers trade. We have reason to be-
Iieve that unwise business methods and unrea-
sonable demands on the part Of consumers, or
an erroneous belief Of such demands on the part
of dealers, leads 10 unnecessarily long hours in
bakeries. The bakers may wisely by organiza-
ton and lawful representation seek TO secure a
shorter working day; but they must do this as
a matter Of free contract with employers by the
operation Of economic laws, not by means Of
arbitrary enactments. Some leaders Of the
bakers union are talking of keeping up the ten
hour fight lin defiance of the United States Su-
preme Court" Probably they do not mean 1t.
but such utterances greatly discredit their or
ganization and strengthen the impression made
by some labor unionsts' attitude toward the Ma
tional Guard and the Government Printing Of
fce-that loyalty to their country is not their
first thought, and that they consider themselves
class apart, respecting law only as it serves
their convenience and organization purposes.
BY all means let them work for the ten hour
day. but they will not do it ''in defiance of the
Supreme Court. The courts work is done.
Baking hours are now once more as they should
be, matter Of agreement between workers and
employers. The question is no longer legal, but
social and economic.

THE NIAGARA BILL.

Albany correspondents still describe in simi-
lar terms the methods which are being boldly
employed to put the Niagara Power bill through
the legislature, and from day to day, in spite
of their deliberate and positive accusations the
bill makes progress. There was public hear
ing yesterday before the committee having the
measure in charge and when that perfunctory
ceremonial had ended it was favorably report
ed 10 the Assembly. To-day II is expected to
pass the lower branch Of the legislature, and
the Senate will probably send 1t to the Gov
ernOr without much delay. Such is the power
OF lobby possessing ample resources Of the
kind most effective in such a case, and long
experience in using them where they will do the
most good.
The Niagara Power bill of last year was Pc
cUliarly advantageous to LOckpOrt. The pres
ent bill is less so. and LOckpOrt is consequently
said to be antagOnistic 1t was reported yes
terday after the hearing that the Mayor OF
Lockport, being a faithful representative Of
local sentiment, had pledged himself to inter-
pose a veto in case the bill should come into
his hands, That would be an accidental mercy
which the public in general could not fail 70
receive with gratitude, provided it proved eff
/ fectual but outside Of Lockport the bill is not
judged according to it's effect on the fortunes Of
/ that city. 1t is opposed by the people Of the
State for three reasOns-because it threatens to
destroy the American falls and infct great
damage on the Canadian side; because it CON
! fers privileges Of enormous value in all parts
Of the State, without local consent or compen-
sation, and because it is obtaining support by
abhorrent means. Any one Of these objections
ought TO insure its defeat, and the first two
ought TO have prevented its introduction. But
the plain indications are that not all of them
together viii avail even to delay its progress.
Usually when the agents of corruption are
! set 10 work in behalf Of an offensive measure
hey are instructed to make the actual delivery
Of cash contingent on its enactment In this
instance, il is said. they are not observing that
prudent rule, but are even going TO the limit
Of making it Immediately worth while for mem
bers merely TO refrain from voting either way
If the report is true, that novel procedure may
account for the conduct Of some persons who
otherwise would hesitate to sacrifice their repu-
tations for bin which they must expect to see
defeated in the executive chamber If it gets
SO far Governor Higgins has not thought fit
we believe. TO signify his intentions in respect
to this measure. but there is nothing in his
character or career to suggest a suppOsitlon that
/ he approTes il. Governor Odel left bill of
/ similar purpose to die last year, and was uni
/ versally commended for so doing. The people
I have reason to be confident that his successor
viii be equally vigilant and firm in defending
! their welfare.
