As the vessel was taken away from John Roach and completed under the di- rect supervision of the navy department engineers, Sceretary Whitney will be unable to derive & moral of republican corruption and fraud from the episode. The Dolphin, constructed entirely by Rouach, rides the waves without mishap or disaster, while the Atlanta, whose construction Chief Engineer Wilson made it a special point to oversee, en- tirely fails in estimated speed and horse power. Perhaps John Roach needed watching, but the navy department evi- dently lacks brains to plan as well as ability to éxecut GENERAL PHAYER s not a candidate for senator, and protests that he will not be in the present canvass. So much for the canard which enemics of Van Wyck are circulating to seduce legislators from their plighted trusts by playing General Thayer's popularity against Van Wyck's candidacy, Even should circumstances be different, General Thayer's candidacy would be unfortunate and ill timed.

In the district represented by Smalls the republican majority was over twenty-five thousand, yet the certificate of election was given 10 & democrat, and it is not doubted that the next democratic house will permit him to retain it.

Pro- teetion trade are no longer issues, No sensible man pretends that we can maintain the government without the one, or conduct its machinery with- out customs dues, The sole issue is that of a rational tax reduction. And that only can be secured by u liberal en- largoment of the free list, and by plac- ing on it & number of raw 1 in manufacturing, and which duty. erials used pay now, building independent hnes of rail to points which this city must tap if it wishes to retain and extend its commer- supremacy, Omaha and Dovglas must induce existing lines to meet uirements of the situation. We are vietims of the long haul system and of rainbow railroading, and we must have direct access to territory now being occupied by our rivals or retire from the race. The urgent need for more direct communication with the Elkhorn valley has been discussed by our merchants for a year. Meetings bave been held in abundance and eflorts made to awaken the interest of local eapitalists in schemes for an independent route. These have faled. dawn upon our people t the line we must pay for Hughitt, of the Northwestern, has inti- mated that the Northwestorn is prep: to straighten its road and buitd from Bell Creek, on the Sioux City & Pacitic, to Omaha direct if Douglas county will bear a portion of the cost The route projected would savi miles and the transfer at I besides making Omaha the Missouri river term- inus of the Northwestern system. 1t is hinted that its completion would be fol- lowed by theremoval of the railway shops and headquarters from Missouri Valley. 1f Manager Hughitt contd be vrevaile It begins to [ found upon to tap his Elkhorn valley line be- tween Nickerson and Hooper instead of at Bell Creck, the advantage would be still greater because the distance would be materially shortened. Such a route would cut out the long southward dip of the road to Fremont and make Omaha n r to West Point than Blair now is. A proposition for subsidy for a line built on that route would probably be favor- ably received by our people. As matters now stand we are sidetracked. With a dircet line to the Elkhorn valley one of the chief causes of com- plaint made by our shippers against the Northwestern would bo removed. The delays and annoyances of transfer at Blair would be obviated, and, with the resulting increase of rail- way interests at Omaha, the relations be- tween our citizens and the Northwestern system would be correspondingly bet- tered, An extension of the Missouri Pacific northward towards Yankton is the sec- ond line whicih Omaha needs and whose construction would be of material and immediate benefit to our citizens. Doug- las county can afford to pay a reasonable subsidy for its construction if it cannot sceure 1t otherwise. 1t will tap territory which is now served by Sioux City and Chicago to the exclusion of Omaha job- bers and open up to our merchants one of the richest portions of the state, It makes little difference who builds the road, so long as it Is built in the direction suggested and with Yankton or the Da- Kotn lme as its terminus, It would pay handsome returns to Omaha from the start, he third road needed is a direct line from Omaba to the Texas Panhandle, which would be less than 430 miles in length, on a praciicable line, It would pass, for nearly every mile of that dis- tance, through a well settled and fertile agricultural and grazing count Douglas, aunders, Lan- caste Gago and Jefferson coun- ties, in Nebruska, would be crossed by its rails.

The voluminous discussion of the labor question, touchiug every side and phase of the perplexing subjeet, evidences the universal estimate of its commanding n- terest and importance. M indeed there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors there ought to be reasonuble ground of hope, in all that is being contributed to the con- sideration of the labor problem. that ul- timately the desired solution will be renched. The tendency of present in quiry and discussion is for the most part in the right direction. The majority of those who now address themselves to the consideration of the question seek a n of facts for the superstructure of their arguments. Merely dogmatic | doetrinaires are becoming rarer and get- ting less attontion. They have been found sadly wanting for ali practical conditions, and these are what are quired. The improvement and elevation of labor must be accomplished by practi- cal means, and in order to achieve and vroperly apply these there must be an ae- curate knowledge of the facts by which alone 1t is possible to determine the act tual eondition and relations of rewards and requirements, For the at tainment of this knowledge there is in op- ceration a national labor bureau and simi- tar departments in sixteen of the state most of them well equipped and provided for to make their inve gations thorough. With these mes at command and steadily enlarging there cannot be in the future any lack of authentic facts for popular enlighten- ment, and as a basis ot I ition, re garding labor in this countr Among the state bureaus that will con- tribute most largely to this knowlede that of New York will be foremost. The inst ture enlarged its powers so that they are practically limitless for carrying forward its particular work, It may demand any information deemed necessary to the most comprohensive setting forth of facts respecting the con- dition and relations of labor. The de- tails of the business of employers of labor, as well as all facts in the possession of labor organizations, are made acces- sible to it. The report of this bureau for last year is soon to be issued, and will be a most instructive document, A particu- lar feature of value is the attention it gives to strikes and their conscquences In the year covercd by this report there were in the state of New York 1500, strikes, to 500 during the preceding year. This strikingly illustrates the inerease of laLor agi ion and controyersics within the t year, 1wo impressive examples aro given of the costs of strikes, one in which 18,000 men were idle six weeks, involving aloss in wages amounding to $1,000,000, and another in which the loss to manufacturers, in the inability to fill orders nearly as I But while ther great in- 1se in 1 more quickly to arbitration number of strikes thiey w seutled th formerly, due through te boards and conferences betwe nployers and em- ployed. There isin this gratifying evi- dence of the growing acceptance of ar- bi ion, us anlso of the decline of the 1 among employers that it is un- dignified to talk over the matters in con troversy and the bnsiness situation with the men or their representatives., The opinion of the commissioner, that the large number of strikes of the past 3 in New York is the crest of the wave, is not reassuring. In view of his pecuiiar advantages for learning the temper of the working people it must, however, be the next congrese, as there is great dan- ger it will be. In this event the conse- quences to the business of the country within the next twelvemonth might be serions, With regard to the objections to the national bank currency noted in the comptrolletr’s report, and which he conclusively answers, we think he gives them rather more importance than they in fact possess. His impression of them is evidently sectional, for while they may widely prevail in the south, they are no longer inrgely held i the north and woest.

As to the advance that has been made in the settlement of labor troubles, the position of the New York commissioner, that the growth of labor organizations hus lessened tho violence of strike and paved the way for arbitration, is re- inforced by the opinions of men prominently engaged in the labor cause contributed to a recently published vol- umeon “The Lavor Movement,” which is another source of valuable knowledge on the labor question. A most int ing part of the report of the New York bu- reau relates to the decadence of the ap- prenticeship system, as a consequence of which most of the skilled machinists who draw the high pay were barn and educated abrond, while Americans sink into the cheaper work. The commissioner believes it impossible to re-establish the apprenticeship system, and recommends as a substitute for it the establishment of manual training inconnection with the public schools. The necessity of this re- course for training American boys to mechanical pursuits, and at the same time asserting the dignity of mannal labor, becomes every year more appar- ent and urgent, ONE of thé most practical results of Sam Jones’ mecting was the sum raised at the closing session for the Young Men’s Christian association’s new build- ing.

When the land act was first passed we advised the tenants notto beina harry to go into the land courts, and 1 am sorry to say the tenants did not take our advice, e who were slow to o into the land courts have got some justice, and I must y that the land courts did not begin to give justice until this year. The rents of Lord Annally and Colonel King Harman were eut down in muny instances 30 per cent, 10 per cent, and in son Annally’s estate as much s per cent. How inthe face of that have the landlords the audacity to say they will in others : eases from Lord not give reductions to men who are broken with ckrents and who went to_the land courts too soon. All L ean v isit the people submit to such treat- ment as that they deserve very little sym- pathy from the rest of Ireland (hear, 1 want to direet your attention to was said in the” court house at Ballinasloe about a fortnight ago in refe ence to the question of Griflith's v lun- tion as a test of the reasonablencss of the vents, Dr. Kane, the president of the sub-commission, said—"In reference to these cases and a good many others, [ think they ought to be enough'to rem from the mmds of the people the idea that the government valuation is a good guide to the value of land, and to show that the valuation 18 1 some case utterly too high.” He then proceeded t give judgments. ‘They were nearly forty lmr cent. below Griffith’s valuation, song ago [ made up my mind, from ob- servation of certain rfx,acs of land in Mayo and Roscommon iflith's v double vilue of the nd. — The land loners have only discovered thut now.
