'The Governor of New York has recommended the establishment of a commission of inquiry, to investigate the subject generally, and especially to examine into the'sy stems of courts or boards of arbitration established in other countries, and to report to the Legislature such a law as is necessary to secure the benefit of the system of arbitration to those interested. Gov.

Hill regards the advancement of the industries of the State as the object to be effected; and points out as an illustration of the progress which has been made in arbi tration the selection of so distinguished legislator as the Hon. Allen G. Thur- man of Ohio as an arbitrator in a cer tain important case. lie believes that with proper attention a system can be perfected in New York whereby labor difference can be amicably adjusted, especially between corporations and those whom they employ. Hereahzes that the subjeot is of great moment and increases in importance as the country progresses.

It concerns, he says, largely the security of the publio peace, and the welfare of the workinsmenand should receive the earnest and thoughtful consideration of the Legislature. We are greatly pleased with the message of Gov. Hill, which is much better than the average not on this point alone, but on many points of puDlio moment. such as prison labor, and the phases of civil service reform. He has not eon-tented himself with mere recommendation in favor of Arbitration, but has also advised several other measures in the especial interest of the working- men.

He nas recommended the establishment by law of facilities for the or ganization of labor, the incorporation of trades unions, the legal regulation of the employment of children, the necessity for which is apparent, the abolition of labor bv children under the age of fourteen, especially in workshops, and the regulation of labor by minors. Turning now to the almost equally good message of Gov. Eobinson of Massachusetts, we find that he recommends any practicable measure that shall facilitate peaceful negotiations, recognizing absolutely the equal rights of all parties to the dispute, for the settlement of difficulties between em ployed and employers. He thinks that arbitration should be voluntary, not compulsory, and doubts the expediency of authorizing appeal to legal process even to enforce the ultimate decision. His idea is that the chief practical aifficnlty arises in the selection of arbitrators, and he seems to believe that some official whose tenure of office is independent of the result of popular elections could be invested with the power to appoint a hoard on proper application in every individual case, and.

witn the power to preserve for future reference all the papers, agreements. stipulations, etc, which may be made in the cases brought before him, and thus open the way for an amicable adjust Tnis is certainly a most- remarkable- proposition, as the subject is pressing, experimentation in the proposed direction may be of ser vice to the country, and we shall be glad to see the establishment of suen a plan merely, however, as an experiment worth trying, and not because we think it has elements of stability. The projected court of arbitration, or whatever it may be named, will under. this plan merely refer the cases to lower courts of its special appointment in the several cases, as -eases are by courts to masters or commissioners, and will take charge of the papers, but will have no efficient authority. The ques tion is whether the formality of a court is useful without the authority of a court.

Gov. Eobinson recommends that tne judges of the probate courts be invested with the proposed authority, or rather want of authority. This is perfectly practicable, and may have some value in it. The functions of their office bring them into intimate relations with the people, and they are little exposed to popular distrust. The Governor says 'rightly that when great differences arise between labor and capital, when all the industrial in terests of a community are paralyzed.

in the fierce conflict for the mastery, when irreparable injury is inflicted on every hand, the yoice of reason ought to be heard, above the din of force. This is very true and very 'stale. Ought Is a good man, but he is at the mercy of every sinner. If we are to have law for those only who recognize the force of the we need little, and can dispense with alL If we are to have law for the, regulation of the lawless, for the repression of the' oppressing, and for the protection of the innocent and helpless, we need it much, and strong, and efficient. The labor of the land is the foundation of the land's prosperity; if we are to protect it by law we" must take care that the law's edict is not an empty sound.

TO BEGET AT THE BIG1NXXKG EEYEXll REFORM. OP If the reports and rumors which fill the air of Washington and its telegraphic ganglia are half true, the Committee on Ways and Means is abiont to take an extraordinary departure from the courses hitherto pursued by the soi diaant revenue reformers. The new course will be especially designed to gratify the longings of Eastern manufacturers for free raw material in other words, a material enlargement of the free list. It will therefore be subject to the same charge of legislation in behalf of a favored interest which lay against the pet measure of the reformer two years age the extension of the bonded term for the benefit of 'whisky manufacturers and also to the odious accusation of being special protective legislation in the interest of the very class most highly protected heretofore, protected into existence, protected into wealth, by the protective system of whoee aid these very protective 'manufacturers are now seeking to deprive -the industrial South. We pointed out years ago how the Hon.

A. 8. Hewitt, originally protected iron manufacturer, had been seduoed over the free trade line by the selfish free raw material until he was almost as good a free trader as Col. Morrison himself. This same Hewitt, who is really a man of parts, and not by any means a small intellect, is now classed as the only moderate Democrat on the Democratic side of the Ways and Means his fellows being extremists of -the class of doctrinaires.

This, then, seems to be the phase which the fight is likely to assume battle for an enlargement of the free-list, in the interest of wealthy protected manufacturers of the East and especially ad vocated as a concession toward the sup port of American industry. We can tell the House how to make a revenue reform bill which will be in the direction of general reform, or of reform in general, of adaunistrative reform, or of reform in the administration of the revenue system. This direction has been emphatically indicated by the President in his annual. message, and by the excellent Secretary of the Treasury in his annual report, it is not so limited that the Committee on Ways and Means can learn all about it in a few" hours but unfortunately too many of their Democratic is famous for oratory, not for acquaintance with affairs, and will have to devote much time and effort in order to acquire a running grasp of the matters involved. Let us take a single specimen: There are some.

2300 cases before the United States courts on appeals from alleged'wrongful classifications of im ported merchandise by customs ex aminers and appraising officers. These cases involve millions heaped on millions of dollars, and every one who knows any thing on the subject will tell you that the govern ment is uniformly defeated whenever a decision is reached in one of this class of cases. There is clearly something wrong here, radically wrong, excessive ly wrong, and it is a case for a legisla tive remedy. The undervaluations are all but universal but it would be better to let the importers bring in their goods on undervaluations, and thereby enable the rascals to drive the honest traders out of business, rather than to make a standing farce and huge and costly joke of the administration of our revenue laws. It is even alleged that the sharp importers are thrifty enough to get their undervalued goods raised, and then apptal the case, thereby securing eventually from tne gov ernment the remission of the du the refunding of the amounts' paid, and six per centum interest on it! This, if the stories are not grossly exag gerated, is one of the sharpest tricks played on the government by the rogues, Leading Western and Southern importers suffer greatly by the undervaluations at New York, the centre of the rascality.

It is cheaper for them to buy of the rascals than to import direct. It is proposed that a special court shall be erected for the trial of such cases to this the Secretary of the Treasury is opposed. The evil lies deeper. The special court wonld become a great car buncle on our judicial system, and suoh adjudication as is required may safely be intrusted, as now, to the regular judiciary. But the function of the courts is to adjudge the law, nOt to enact it.

What is wanted is better law on the entire subject of the preparation. verification, and authentication of invoices, and of appraisement and reap- praisement. The Secretary has properly advised an immediate legislative- reorganization of the Ap praiser's office at New York which does not mean a censure upon the officials. If the appraisers had been steadfastly sustained by the law. and their superiors, there would have been a great deal more honesty in the collection of revenues than has been the rule.

If the Committee on Ways and Means will honestly attend to this matter' and we have indicated only one point out of many demanding and remedial application of law it will find no leisure for the abuse of its authority, the abuse 1 of the patience df the House and 1 the abnse. of the temper of the in that "considerable enlargement of the free list" which rumor declares it is about to throw out as a bait to the heavily protected manufacturers of the wealthy and potential East.

Slain by Benedictine.

That settled it. The seductive stuff took hold of Storrs's brain and made him its slave, just as the doctor might have known it would. He had unit drinking whisky and wine. hut 'he wasn't strong enough to throw away this seductive liqueur.

The Cairo (in.) Gazette, a daily paper pub lished by colored men, says: "The manage ment of the New Orleans Exposition set apart the first day of January as the colored people's day.

John E. Owen, the comedian, who nas been sick at his eoun try residence for some time, was hf esterday brought to his elty home, 205 St. Paul street. His wife accompanied him. Mr.

Solomon King, an old friend of the vete ran actor, was at the house on 8t- Paul street in -waiting for his friend, and gave him a cordial greeting when he arrived. Mr. King stated that Mr. Owen was decidedly better. He is still unable to walk up stairs, but can move about the room as nimbly as ever.

His mind is as clear as a whistle and his conversation is -as sparkling and merry as I read Webster and Worcester through onee each year, said an elderly man in a Chicago library, the other day. I do It as a sort of rest from my When my brain and hands become tired I put my work aside and open the dictionary. I can't teU you how fascinating it becomes. I return to it with avidity, as most people would to a novel had laid aside half read. I read it leisurely, and it becomes as Interesting as a history or a book ot travels.

I have read dictionaries eleven times and am bo- means tired of them yet. A correspondent of the Atlanta rvtnariiav- tion says While the learned doctors were diagnosing Garfield's ease there waa con stantly beside him a man whose only duty was to lift the sufferer and to adjust his postures to the greatest possible comfort. This man was a fat, good jistured fellow. named Crump, who had oeen pied tbe posi tion of steward at the White House for sev eral years. One night Crump leaned over to lift the wounded President to an easier position, and felt a sharp pain in his back.

Gar field weighed about 200 pounds, 'and the train of raising him broke one of the spinal muscles In Crump's back. He has been a physical wreck ever since. I saw the poor fellow the other nighty and he told me that while he could shuffle along on his feet fee had never been able to dress or undress him self since something broke in his back as he lifted Garfield. If he saw a hundred thou sand dollars lying In front of aim he could not pick it up. He is compelled to move slowly and with great ears to get abont at all.

Crump's claim for compensation went :i.i! 1 I EVENING, DRESS GOODS.

It is Issued monthly, and Is the organ of the Cotton Planters' Association. The report that ex-Senator Tabor was to build a million dollar house in Washington is not true. Tabor has not a million dollars for any purposes, his fortune having shrunk to less than half that amount, and be is in such bad! repute in Washington that he would scarcely go there for any purpose again.

Speed Phillips, of this city on yesterday shipped a consignment of wheat to New Orleans, tbe first shipment of so great a quantity of this cereal ever made from Memphis. This wheat was handled by the grain commission men of this city, and was, of coarse, the indirect outcome of, the direct railway facilities that the city now enjoys with the grain growing region of the Northwest. This is the beginning of what will yet prove of untold value to Memphis commerce, and indicates the development of a business that will grow and expand with the development of the city. No small factor in this result will be the large merchants' mill now being erected, and it is confidently expected by men of means and business sagacity that the wheat and corn business in Item-phis will in a few years amount to many thousands of dollars annually.
