1883. Senater Wallace's Kill. senator "Wallace has introduced in the Senate hill te provide a plan of amicahle arbitrament in disputes between, employers and employed in the iron, steel and eeal trades, wherein se many disastrous disagreements arise The object, of course, is laudable whether its accomplishment is practicable is mere doubtful. In asking that the measure he proposes should be referred te the proper committee for consideration, Senater Wallace said that the necessity for some lawful tribunal te adjust, or te try te adjust the difiicul-ties new se prevalent in the trades must be apparent te all. This bill proceeds upon the theory that in business matters men are equal that a frank discussion by themselves of their grievance is the read te their settlement, and that purely voluntary methods are better than compulsion or litigation.

The bill is purely tentative. I have no pride of opinion as te any of its details, and seek criticism and advice from all interested. In a government of law, such as we it is a disgrace te all of us that the ultimate remedies for strikes and lockouts are force and starvation. This bill is but an honest effort te avert this disgrace, and te areus. and agitate the public sentiment of the state te the necessity for action in this The measure provides that twenty-five workmen, being citizens and having worked two years at least at the trade, and five employers who employ each net less than ten workmen, may petition the judge ei the district te issue a license te a tribunal compesfl of an equal number of employers and employed, with an umpire te decide ques tieus which c.i'.iuj: be set tied thelri bunal after discussion ti.iee me -ting.

Witnesses may be I. but attorneys are tabooed. Xe salaries are paid, but the county furnishes a room for the meeting, he.it ed and lighted. If eithtr employee or i refills te in the petition f.ir the tribunal it may be appointed en the petition of the one party, who thu throws upon the ether party the onus of refusing a discus sien of the difficulties. Tii umpire's decision is auie telweeu the partus in all questions, except as te the rate, of wages, which.

for some reason net pointed out. is excluded from his summary adjust- meat. But as the whole proceeding is voluntary, and no penalty attaches te a violation of the agreement, and no authority of he law is exercised te enforce the decision of the tribunal, the function of the umpire does net seem te be of very great consequence. It is certainly te be said in favor of Senater Wallace's bill that it is innocent, and we are ready te believe, because Senater Wallace introduced it, that it maj possibly be productive of geed in its working because Senater Wallace is well qualified by intelligence and experience te judge wisely upon the question which he has here set him self te adjust by legislation. IJut we confess that en the first contemplation of his measure we see litilr- in it.

outside our confidence in Senater judgment, te inspire us with confidence in the effectiveness of his bill te correct the admitted evil it seeks te grapple with. see nothing in the appoint ment of a standing committee of conference by the court, even though it be called a tribunal, te make the results of its deliberations mere for the settlement of differences between employers and employed than would be these of a conference committee directly raised by the employers and employed when disputes arise. The simple fact is, that the employed want te get all the wages they can the employers want te pay as litMe as they can. If Senater Wallace's bill will develop an arbitration committee of men whose judgment wLll be accepted by employers and employed respectively as te the ieast they can pay or the most they can get, it will be successful in its object. But a committee thus possessing the confidence of employer and employed would be likely te be discovered and set te work without the aid of a judge.

It is possible, however, that the of Senater Wallace's bill may result in efficient legislation; the undertaking is certainly laudable. Let There be Light. There is just cause for complaint among our citizens at the inferior quality of the gas that is being furnished them by the corporation that has a monopoly of its manufacture. Fer weeks the light given, se far from being of the standard of sixteen-candle power nemi-, nated in the bend between the gas company and its patrons, has been a misera ble, sickly, flickering flame, utterly inadequate te the purpose it is supposed t0 fill and quite short of the premise of the managers when they solicited and obtained the patronage of the public. Besides, the gas emits au unpleasant odor, net unlike that which was the source of complaint last winter, and it is undeniably smoky.

If the gas company can manufacture a sixteen candle power product at GO cents a thousand feet, as it one time boasted it could, our citizens who pay $2 for the vile stuff they are obliged te put up with have geed cause for complaining, and for refusing te pay their bills. The contract between the gas company and the consumer is as binding en ene as en the ether. The company exercises the power of stepping off its gas when its bills are unpaid but before it can gain a right te demand its bill it must furnish the quality of light it has premised. Xe. torieualy it does net de this, and consequently it cannot collect its bills if payment is refused, nor can it shut off the gas if this is objected te its agent who undertakes te de this may be forcibly prevented.

It has but one thing te de. and that is te furnish the quality of light it has contracted te provide then only need it be paid. But as it persistently refuses te de this, is there no power in the city corporation te secure redress te the people Must this monopoly be permitted te occupy our streets without earning the privilege by giving us a geed light Must we give te this gas company the free use of our streets, and then submit te being grossly cheated by it We trust that councils will find out from their law ad-vi. er whether the people of the town are net entitled tc demand and able te secure the light thev nav for.

"Sand planting is filing much in the direction of increasing the forest growth of California, and many thousands of pine and ether varieties of timber have l.itely becu set out with the result of ma terially changing fei the hotter large portions of the landscape.

In consequence there is mere than usual suffering among the poorer class of laborers, who aie thrown out of work aud thus deprived of their customary means of subsistence.

On January 13, ISS'2, the club was organized with thirteen members te combat the popular superstitions attaching te that number. It selected the Knickerbocker cettage as its headquaitcrs, because the number 454 added together make thirteen, and secured as a club room, room 1, of the cottage. In the Bame spirit the anniversary was observed.

The menu was a coffin-shaped card with a border of thirteen nails, and contained thirteen courses, but the number of the club has increased during the year se that it new reaches thirteen times the original thirteen in all 1C9 members. Among them are Presi dent Arthur, Rosceo Cenkliug, S. S. Cox and ether well-known men. At the re- cent anniversary only a small portion of this number were present, and these were seated at thrce tables, thirteen te a table.

The evening was passed iu a pleasant, convivial fashion, with toasts aud short speeches thirteen minutes being allowed but net strictly enforced te each member. Tue elegance of the homes of wealthy Americans, about which ee much has been said, will probably nowhere have a finer illustration than in the dining room that Cornelius Vanderbilt is having made for his new house. The description of the ceiling, said te be the most ambitious that has ever been attempted in this country, sounds like a page from a fairy tale, and when we read of the soft green of the verde antique, the rich brown of the weed, the different whites and yellow of ivory and marble, the lus-treus blues and jrrcens of rare shells, the gleams of brenze which has been made te take various surfaces of silver or geld or mildly iridescent, we may picture this Mr. Vanderbilt and his confreres leaning back in their chairs after dinner, and, in that enviable frame of mind iu which a man can take pleasure in being mere than ordinarily obtuse, looking up at this miraculous ceiling impending ever them, weighted with stone and metal, fretted with carving, aud glittering with mother-of pearl, and wondering hew it is held aloft, and what iu thunder it all means.

The less of life by the burning of the circus in Berditschelf ou Saturday last was net se great as at first reported, but it is believed that ever one hundred and fifty persons perished iu the llames. The fire broke out toward the end of the porfer-mauco and was caused by the careless handling of fireworks en the stage. The curtain became ignited and the flames quickly spread te the walls and reef. The members of the orchestra were the first victims.

The audience, numbering eight hundred persons, rushed te tie front deer, but it opened inward, and as the crowd picssed forward it was rendered useless. A rush was then made te the two side doers, both of which were nailed up, thus compelling the paople te take te the windows, from which many sprang into the street with their clothes a sheet of flame. The fire brigade arrived within 'half an hour, but it was impessible te extinguish the flames, as the water in the tanks was frozen. The fire lasted two hours. Eye witnesses say that when the doers were finally epeued a mass of burning peeple was visible within.

The horses aud properties of the circus were all destroyed, l'lceluc for TUclr Lives.
