that the only defence the public had would be to
pass laws limiting the accumulations OF corpora

hrst 10 be taken In hand.
1t was also my expressed opinion that cnormou
Accommodations, either corporate or Individual,
must sooner or later be taken in hand and-llmited
by law; that Is TO say, In the case OF the individual,
compelled TO be distributed by him during his life

wide Field for Union Endeavor.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Str: ! have Just
read with great interest and enthusiasm the de-
mand of the Brooklyn board OF walking delegates
that the tower OF Dreamland be torn down and
rebuilt entirely by union labor. 1t would seem
Of all solutions the simplest. and one which ought
to appeal to the good sense OF every laboring man.
While the owners OF Dreamland will doubtless
make some objection, on careful consideration
they ought to rome to the conclusion that this lie
the best and easiest way TO secure union music for
their attractions. It is by such well thought out
and temperate compromises as this that unionism
Is to win friends and finally to WOO to Its ranks
every laborlng man, not to mention the Increased
confidence OF capital itself.
The granting OF this demand OF the Brooklyn
walking dclegates-and who can doubt that II will
be granted. and that right speedily?-will mean the
dawn Of a new era for the working man. for 1t opens
up possibilities which rouse the most staid and
sober to paroJysnls OF enthusiasm. II the Brook
lyn delegates have erred at all 1t Is on the side of
conservatism. Their ruling should be made retro
active. There are hund reds of towers all over this
world that never had a stroke OF union work on
union tower bite the dust. The %Canpanlle has
already fallen In mute prophecy of the coming
decision to tumble EN- all. Then Westminster
Abbey and st. Peters. DO you happen to know
whether they arc union made or mott II not. let's
have 'em down.
BY the way, I don't believe Michel Angelo had
A card" when he did that work on the Sistine
Chanel. Why not have the Madonna and the
chcrubs whitewashcd out and give the decorators
union a chance. There's a FIRST class paperhanger
and decorator In our town out OF a Job: and he be-
longs TO the union too. UNION MADE.

COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CZAR.
Congress Asked 10 Demand $500 600
Rubles for n Man Expelled From Russia.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Vice-Presi-
dent laid before the Senate to-day a me-
mortal from John NJ. KairieS Of 1l2 North
Railroad avenue, Mount Vernon, n. Y,
complaining against the Car Of Russia and
petitioning Congress to demand restitution
in damages for his expulsion from Russia
on April "a, 1877. The petitioner says tina
he was an alien at the time, but had lived
in Russia since 1855. He claims damages
in the sum of $780, 600 rubles for loss OF
two concessions, one for the right of opera
ting a steam sleigh between st. Petersburg
and Cronstadt, the other a right to establish
waterworks in Cronstadt. The petitioner
recites his efforts to get indemnity through
the German Emperor and from time to
time through the State Department. He
now asks a reference Of his claim to the
Hague tribunal for adjudication.
Secretary Richard Olney declined. &C
cording to the accompanying papers sub
mitted with the pet ition, to take up the
claim for the reason that the acts COM
planned of occurred when the petitioner
was a German subject and before he be-
came a naturalized American citizen.
The Vice-President referred the petition
to the Foreign Relations Committee.

HEAD OF $tO,oo0,OOo SW1NDLE
KNOWN TO THE DETECTIVES, BUT
STILL AT LARGE.

Bonds OF Various Rail- pads Were 10 Have
Been Forged and HypOthecated With
New York Brokers Through Out OF
Town Concerns-Bucket Shop Men In II.
Something more of the SIC, o0o, 900 swindle,
which failed after the arrest Of c.. Augustus
Seton for his connection with the Norfolk
and Western Railway stock forgery, came
out yesterday. Seton gave some additional
details before he was taken to Sing Sing,
and it is understood hat his counsel, Charles
E. LeBarbier ia in possession OF the plans
Of the scheme. Mr.. LeBarbier refuses to
give any information about it, although
he declares that If it hadn't been for what
Seton told Assistant District Attorney
Caravan, added to the fact that the gang
mixed up in it we're scared by Seton's ar
rest, an attempt would lave been made to
put the thing through.
From the little that is known the scheme
was an elaborate one, but how it could
have been successfully carried out is not
clear. 1t was planned, it Is said, to forge
bonds Of several railroads, Including the
Pennsylvania, New York Central and Louis
vile and Nashville, In the scheme were
several men, some Of them out OF town
bucket shop keepers. The gang had plenty
of money at it's disposal TO carry out the
preliminary details. The mar who was at
the head of it is known to the Pinkertons
and the District Attorneys office. He is
said to be in this city, but his name is kept
secret. At least two Of the Norfolk and
Western gang had knowledge OF what was
| contemplated. Seton ia said to have been
taken in because Of his knowledge OF similar
schemes.
After the bonds had been engraved It was
the intention of the swindlers to hypothecate
them. According to Seton, the plan was
to sw indie several big Wall Street banking
houses. The out of town members OF the
gang we're to help out in this. They were
to say tina they heldt the bonds for customers
and that the bonds were on the market.
1t was hoped to dispose Of the forged BONDS
in several cities in a short time and then
clear out.
1t is said that the gang was pretty con-
fdent of being able to get the bonds en-
graved. Assistant District Attorney Gar,
van ia in possession Of the names oil several
of the men in the scheme. When Seton
was sentenced by Recorder Goff on Friday
Mr.. Garvan said that the investigation OF
the Norfolk and Western swindle had not
been completed and it was hoped that an
example would be made of a man who was
connected with the forgery of Norfolk and
Western STOCK.
Seton looked very sad when he left the
Tombs yesterday for Sing Sing After
his wife, who has been in the n~eighborhood
Of the Tombs or the Criminal Courts Build.

Immediately from the Sub Treasury and
