LONDON IN THE VACATION. More Hostile Criticism of the Land Bill, MOVEMENTS OF ORGANIZED LABOR JEFFERSON DAVIS ON THE QUESTION Verdict Against the Pennsyvania Road. LONDON ALMOST DESERTED. Belated Journalistic Criticism of Glad- stone's Irish Land Bull. Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING STAR. Lonpox, April 24.—The holidays leave Lon- don deserted of ali the people who make news. The weekly papers, which were unable to com- ment on the land purchase scheme last. week, now express their views. The Spectator says: “Gladstone's land purchase scheme is a bad One, though well intended, It is lacking in boldness, in simplicity, in safety. it imposes heavy financial risk upon Great Britain, yet does not provide compensation for the land- lords. It will not be considered by tenants to improve their position in any marked way. It Will, if it fails, leave things worse than before. It will, if it succeeds, burden thenew Irish state | with the permanent hostility of the cultivating class.” The Saturday Review calls Gladstone “the unjust steward,” and says either the sum originally named was not wanted, in which case Gladstone must have conceived his scheme with most astonishingly culpable levity and neglect to ascertain the facts; or it was wanted, in which case the reduction is a proof of levity almost more astonishing and more culpable. The Tablet, Roman Catholic organ, says: “We, who threw twenty millions into the sea to keep ourselves clear from the stain of the slave trade, ure we going to pause now between a doubtful risk and permanent pacification? In the essential element of permance, Giadstone's Irish land bill is wholly lacking. All the sacri- fices we are asked to make will be made in vain. Parliament, whether it likes the task or not, will have no option save to push on the Work of purchase and get it completed with the utmost possible rapidity.” The Statist says: “It is not incumbent upon the peopie of Great Britain to give the land- lords the full value of their estates, though itis | only right they should receive compensation it treated unfairly by the new parliament.” Thus is the current of jourualisticopinion still running pretty steadily against the bill. Mean- lime, the interesting item of news comes from | Ireland this morning that the trustees of exten sive estates in county Mayo have olfered to sell to the tenants at twelve years’ purchase, Evi- dently they have little hope of Gladstone's bill becoming a law. pe eee THE LABOR AGITATION. Pittsburg Builders and Workmen Com- promise—New York Business Men Disgusted at the Back-Down of the Lake Shore—Other Matters. PirrsBuRG, April 24.—The agitation for a Teduction of hours, which ithad been feared would have a prejudicial effect on the building trades this season, is being ended peaceably by amicable arrangements between employers and workmen. ~The journeymen plumbe who had demanded that eight hours be a day's work at the old wages, have withdrawn their demand and submitted a substitute propos! tion that nine hours shall be considered a day's work, with eight hours on Saturday, These terms will probably be accepted by the master plumbers. ‘The carpenters, stonemasons and other building ‘trades expect to arrange a com- promise on similar terms, and thus prevent the season's work from being crippled by striies. GREATLY PERTURBED ABOUT AMERICAN FREEDOM. New York, April ‘The « omments heard he Lake Shore railroad com any at Chicago are not complimentary to Job s Newell and the Fairvanks Packing company, to Whose ins fluence President Neweli sevins to have suc cumbed, ; “if men are to be driven out of employment,” saidone, “at the dictation of a secret oath. bound union, of self-appointed committers, lor refusing to’ surrender Ub independence, America is no jonger he land ot the free an the brave. Itis piain that the cowardice of John Newell should not have been pitted aguinst the audacity of the strikers, and that the Vanderoilt estate should retire him toa home for old women, and then the grasping cupidity of Millionaire Fairbanks should bs seat to the rear until the rights of tue great mass of citizens are made secure.” “Kussia,” said another, “is a much freer country than America. There, it one only iets the government alone, one ‘is undisturbed either as employer or employe in his social re- lations. We have now got to decide whether the communists who have fled from Lurope aro superior to native-born Ameri the course of the Lake Shore rood 1 con- test harder. But there is no doubt about the result. American blood and love of liberty will tell in the end.” Gov, MARMADUKE ON THE SOUTHWESTERN ‘TROUBLES. New Yor, April 24.—Gov. John 8, Marma- duke, of Missouri, was “seen at the St. Jam hotel’ this morning, and in answer to w request thathe give his Views conceruing the labor troubles “im the southwest he said: “1 think that so far as the strike is concerned public sentiment is demanding that commerce should move. Kailroads not oniy represeut private interests, they represent public interests as well. The great interest of the country demand that our railroad trailic be not disturbed, and that sentiment is growing stronger each’ day, Railroad magnates and railroid iuvorers must | Tecognize this and obey.

I believe Ulat the civil authority should be used as fur us possible in the settlo- mentof these matiers, This isa government of the people, and we should use the bayonet only wuen absolutely necessary, 1 think the matter is seutling down, aud that soon the troubles will be over. THE ARRESTED SWITCHMEN DISCHARGED, CHrcaGo, April 24.—Tue cases against the Lake Store switcnmen—T. F. Coilius, A, Haight, Wm.

GaLvesTox, TexX., April 24.—The following Jetter from ex-Prosident Jefferson Davis, of the confederacy, to H. W. Pope, of Marshall, Texas, in which Mr. Davis gives his views as to what logisiation might be to bring about harmony and untty of action between capital ‘aud labor, has just been made public: Beavvorr, Miss., March 27, 1886. H.W. ‘A® Sik: Fully appreciating theeomplt- veyed by your request for my views ment con’ as to what legislation might be adopted to adjust the conflict now going on bee tween capital and labor, that Ihe < compliment is so" little merited, The old war between capital and labor has called forth the best intellects of Europe. It has disturoed commerce, overthrown govern- ments, produced anarchy’ and crept from the without solving the problem. With us the contest is In its ineipent state, and happily it may be that something can be done to chec {ts growth, Seli-interest and free competition tor labor will, wherever lnborers are abundant, give to the rich the power to oppress the poor, Wecannot legisiate to destroy the motive of self-interest, for that les at the foundation of Progress, and our efforts must, thei directed’ to unifying the interest and capital as” far as be done pres ot this y the legislature of the state, ent form of etws employing it. It is not sufficient answer to may The conflict In our country is en associated labor and organizations that the price of labor has advanced, unless It can be shown that the profits have moved part passu with the profitsof capital; tor in this, as in other things of comparative weltare, we must consider the relative improvement, The standard of comfort rises proportionately to the increase of wealth in a country. Your idea of a court of arbitration I think hax mach to recom- mend it. ‘The organization of such a court, #0 as to secure equally the confidence of both com tending partics, would require both liberality and discretion,’and it would be neediul that theirdecisions should be based on something Uke & co-operative principle of industrial partners ship, in which the wages of the employes should, be measured by the profits of the corporation, It in this manner acommunity ot Interest could, | be established the welfare and contentment of | both would seem to be a possible result.

Mr. Butterworth referred to the bill that had ! come from the labor committee as A HOLLOW MOCKERY AND A SHAM.
