It happens that the bill, as reported
to the Mouse by the committee, would
not require anv change in the runniue
hours of the mill with which your cor
respondent identihed. It may be that

Not only are the operatives living in
comfort, but as a clas they are eon
tejjtrd and happy. It is a mistake to
5'ippdse that there is any wide-spread
demand from them for the parage of

Until the 14th the Baltimore Sun had
only published Jthe telegraphic reports
about JudgerGresham's selection as Sec
retary of State, and the iun of that date
contains au editorial on the subject iu
which these significant words appear:
"The report that the position of Secre
tary of State has , been offered to Judge
Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana, and that
he has consented to accept the place may
prove after all to be without foundation."
But adds the Sun: 'The appointment
of Judge Gresham, if it takes' place will
be considered in two aspects: first as a
party measure, and second, as a measure
of patriotism. The two, however, resolve
themselves into one and the same ques
tion, and can he answered by the old say
ing, which isan almost accepted truism,
that "He serves his party best who serves
his country best."
And concludes: "That should Mr.
Cleveland believe that the service of
Judge Gresham will promote the good
cause, and put him in charge of the De
partment of State, the appointment will
ecer.ve the support aud approval of sin
eiec and patriotic democrats, whose con
fidence in him hfuushaken." '
The Raleigh JCorrespondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, telegraphs that paper
that Judge . T. Boykin has tendered his
resignation and will retire from the Su
perior Court bench. No cause is assign
ed but as Judge Boykin is in very poor
health that is supposed to be the reason.
The correspondent states further that
here are a number of apyhcants for the
acant position. Later we learn that

For nearly half a century the Eepub-
lican party has persistently used the gov-
ernment as an instrument of oluuder. I
It has used the tax gather as a highway
robber ana piunaered tne many to.en-inrtr3
rich the tew.
The people have been plundered so long
that they are desperate. Ihere is dan
ger to our institutions.
We cannot have the Republican policy
of plundering the people to enrich a tew
private enterprises, rieither can we have
the Roman imperial policy of plundering
the few for the satisfaction of the many.
Government exists not fur pluuder, but
forjustice.

It seems that large sums of money
have been contributed to the Uusuies-
Agency fund by members of the ord-r
and, tince the chief omcers of the or
ganization, with some exceptions, have
aiiied themselves with the third party,
these contributors are unwiilinu that
this fund should remain as even appa
rent support of Lhe credit of those who
have perverted the objects of the alli
ance by betraying it.
Utider the new charter the alliance
cau I e reorganized, and those who de-
irp it i : 1 1 1 still allow their nnrtion of
j the fund to remain in tin hands of a
Business Agent, while those who do
not cau withdraw it.
This is an opportunity that should
be given, and aright which should not
be denied.
The cntr.butors have every claim
for such au option, and it should not
