iH Lnlior's liny,
H The bill Introduced at Albany on Thursday
by Senator Khilly, mnklng tho first Mon-
H day of September a legal holiduy, to be
H known as Labor's Day, Is understood to ex-
I press tho wishes of powerful trades unions,
MJ and will, doubtloss, bo faorably rcgardod
by tho public geuorally.
BH The holiday Is ilxed in a season In which
1 Its rest and relaxation would bo peculiarly
H grateful to tho groat mass of workers. When
u September comes tboy aro exhausted after
B tho heat of summer, during which tho multi-
Ba tudo of manufactories In tills, the greatest
manufacturing centre of tho Union, havo
Q beon steadily engagoU in preparing for tho
HE autumn and wlntor trade. This grind of toll
V bos continued without Interruption, saro on
Hi Sundays, elnco tho Fourth of July, and dls-
BH oomfurta due to high temperatures and close
jH apartments havo frequently deprived tho
iHJ frorkors of the restoration of sleep.
jHI Thoro Is, accordingly, no time of the year
'? "vhen they stand more In need of a holiday
Kf than in the opening of September, a month
exceeaingiy lavorauie to out-uoor nrauso-
'Hj ments and exercises, and one in which tho
B loss of a day will be less felt by tho produc-
K tlvo and other Industries of the city than at
K almost any other season. Tho people who
H 80 out of town for tho summer havo not yet
Hj returned, wholesale trade U, for the most
W part, still awaiting the revival of activity af-
H tor the warm weather, and retail trado Is
B dull. The working oeoplo havo behind thorn
jj two months of exhausting labor, and havo
Wt yet to enduro throe months of uninterrupted
H toil untUThanksgiving. Labor's Day. thero-
E . tors, comes in between aa a much-needed
HJI breathing spell.
Hj The day flxed upon for a holiday is also tho
HJ ' ono on which tho labor societies of tho city
L aro accustomed to havo their annual parado,
K and therefore it Is peculiarly fitting that It
H thould be so sot apart. The vast raaj ority of
M19 Inhabitants of Now York aro wage carn-
H era, and the proportion of them onrolled in
L thoso labor organizations Is largeand Increas-
Hj lng, whllo the whole number aro more and
H more Interested in the unions and their
H objects.
Kj Hence, If tho worklng'inen and women want
K tho first Monday of September as a holiday,
E? thero is ovcry reason why their desire shonld
H be gratiiled by the Legislature, and tho more
K readily becauso it is they who especially
M' Deed, celebrate, and onjoy all such festivals,
K for whatovcr reason set apart. With tho ex-
E coption of Decoration Day aud tho Fourth
K; , of July, too. our holidays occur In cold
H weathor, whon out-door amusements aro not
KJ Inviting; but Labor's Day would come at the
K acoson best of all adapted for such a purpose,
W though perhaps the opening week of Sep-
B tomber Is a little early, for sometimes tho
K temperature Is thon still too high for thor-
H ough enjoyment.
I Conscience.
HEsnY Watid Beeciieii has a now lecture
called "Conscience." Thore Is no other
living man who can so terribly portray
the terrors of a guilty mind. Thero is no
othor man who has so torribly portrayed
them In lottors which will always, bo famous
documents In tho pathology of guilt. If
this now lecture koeps a littlo of tho accent
of horror and reraorso that thrills through
those confessions of his crimes, tlioro Is no
audience which it would not profoundly
novo. Tho 6eats ought to sell for three
dollars apleco at least. Tho recital of
real anguish or guilt by such a tinner
aa BiatciiKH ought to bring as high
a price as n slmulaUxl tolo by tho groatest
actor on tun stage. Hut everybody has not
time aud monoy to go to UErciir.n's lecture.
His frlcuds, the worklngmen, havo too hard
a time to get tlieir bread aud wntor to hear
him talk about conscience, llciides, moiiy
poreoiw have moral "scruples against heal
ing HnrxiiEH. Aud why uocd nuybody
trouble himself about tho copy when tho
original ploturu Is awsslblo? It is hotter
and more salutary to recur to this woikdouo
by the hand of a master. Perhaps the
younger generation is not familiar with
Beechek's Immortal painting of tho Guilty
j Conscience. It Is a mostorplece. Tho urlist
; bas painted from his own heart.
vuiai coum uo more vivid than misrep
resentation of tho mlsory of foul thought
! that must keop a fair outeido ?
"To k.. emir, If I wu not lrml or dliturbt a,

and a Mat upon nothing ao much ae upon rilljlou."
With what 6ombro and awful powor dofs
be depict tho despair of guilt ready to seek
In death some refuge from its shame, some
truco or term to the Intolerable accuser:
" If I had not (one through Dili great year of Borrow.
I would not hare bellcred that any one cculJ paia
through my experience and be alire or eane."
"If my destruction would place him all right, that
Hull not tuud la tiit way, I m willing to !j down

"nothing ran poetlbly he is bad ae the horror of treat

"There It no further nae In trying. Intro a (front

" 1 nm alck, hetd, hart, and boiy, btit muit more on.
I fetrl tlile morning like letting thing go by the run."
"My Innerinoit luul tongt for peace) It that caunct be,

In the following extract tlioro is a wonder
ful touch. Lvcn tho hope of death Is hope
less, for death cannot undo tho wrong that
his guilt has brought on otlicrs. Wu boo tho
accusing' conscience stiuggltng In the conse

AVnrncr Miller's Scut.
WAitNcn MiLLr.n has a thorny road to
travel towntd loelectlou to tho Senate, and
It Is obscured by tho shadows of tho past.
With tho exception of Mr. Sr.WAKD and Mr.
Cosklisc, no Senator of this Stato has been
reelected sluco Silah 'Wnioiir was chosen
for tho third tlmo, in February, 1843. Though
tho jsky was bright whon tho others com
menced their morning march, It grow dark
and stormy toward tho ovonlng of their
torni. Factional feuds In the Domocratlo
party prevented tho reelection of Dix and
Dickinson, whllo Fisn, Kino, Harris, Mor
gan', Fcntox, Kernan, Pr,AiT, and Lafbam
dlbuppcnrod one after another, leaving hard
ly a bubblo on tho surface to show whoro
tuey wont uown.
This must bo rather discouraging to Mr.
Miller. Though tho incumbency of Mr.
Seward till ho entered tho Stato Depart
ment, and of Mr. Coxklixo till lie resigned,
aio Illustrations of "the survival of the fit
test," perhaps tho rulo would break beforo
It could bo stretched far enough to ombraco
the Herkimer Senator. Nevertheless, lto
publican rivals of about his slzu should re
member thnt hn has oxhibltcd good slaying
powers since ho entered Congress, and If tho
party controls tho next Legislature it will
require a strong arm to take his seat away.
Wo commend tho situation to tho special
consideration of the Democrats. Thoy havo
been represented in the Seuato only six years
out of tho last thirty. Thoy should look
carefully to their candidates for tho Assem
bly next fall in ordor to tako full advantago
of tho complications that may arise. Mean
whilo tho littlo peoplo In Albany who propose
to designate in advanco tho new Senator,
should utilize- their deadhead tickets, and go
home and run for Supervisors and things of
that size, and not moddlo with tho important
affairs of a commonwealth so great and
glorious as New York.
Tho Judiciary Committee of 1870.
In 1879 the Democratic majority of the
Senate's Judiciary Committee consisted of
Allen O. Titoriiax, Thomas F. Batard,
Lucius Q. C. Lamar, and Augustus H.
Garland. In tho courso of Senator Puou'a
able reply to Mr. Edmunds on Wednesday
ho thus spoko of Mr. Thurman, tho Chair
man of tho committee :
" I endorse all that the Senator Mr. Eomctds has to
well said about Attex a. THvnxif. Tee, Mr. President,
Aufi O Thcruax la the greatest and wisest and tho
purest American statesman now Urlng."
Such a remark as this is not niado unless
tho speaker knows that it expresses a very
general opinion. No doubt it was listened to
with respect In this Instanco, oven though
Homo of tho nudleuce might have, readily ap
plied the phrase to some othor distinguished
man. But to no one could tho idea havo oc
curred that there wore not Indisputable rea
sons for tho preferonco of Senator Puoii.
But could tho criticism thus passed upon
tho charactor of Mr. TnunsiAN bo made with
equal approval concerning tho other mem
bers of tho comraitteo of which Mr. Thur
man was Chairman ?
Unquestionably it could with reference to
Thomas F. Bayard.
It could bo mado toaoply to Lrcirs Q. C. La
mar, provided one wcro nblo to bollevo that
hlscouisoin tho telephono business had been
tho unrottunate result of mental aberra
tion, subordinating official duty to personal
friendship.
It could not bo mado, though, so far as con
cerns tho Hon. Auoustus H. Garland, now
Mr. Cleveland's Attorney-General. It is a
groat pity for Mr. Garland, and a still
greaUr pity for the Democratic party.
In the Houso yesterday Mr. Weaver of
fered a resolution, of which the preamble con
tain tula admission:
' H'herrai, Nearly erery Congress embraces atlrast one
crank; and whereae tho proieul Congress is uo sleep,
lion to the rule "
This was hnrdly decent. It se cms to be an
undue reflection by one branch of Congress
upon the coordinate branch.
Senator Dlaib should redy at once, and tako
high ground.
Collector Hedden's continuation is now
matter of certainty.
Why did tho Mugwumps Imagine avain thing?
Justice Weldk decided a nic point yes
terday In favor of the strikers who wore or
ralicuod bo'ore him tor parading in front of
Tiieibh's browery and distributing boycott
haudbilln. dipt. HrCcn.i.Aoii insisted that
tho Btrlkors were disturbing the poaco and
parading in violation of law. Justice Weldc
askod now tho mon wore parading, and tho
Captain said they wcro in tingle Die. "Ob.
that's no violation of law," said the Justice.
"They have a right to walk goose fashion as
much as thoy nloaso. There cannot bo a law
agalnet walking in the street, and you cannot
hold a man responsible if others choose to milk
before or after him." This looks as if labor
parades In Indlnu file might corns into fashion
as n means of obviating tho necessity of get
ting permits.
An Interesting quostlon:
If a Mlnton vase, such as are turned out now
evory day. and can be bought In any market,
brings at auction 13,100 broken, what is the
value of a perfect and nxqulslte example of
the most rare and supreme porcelain that has
ever been produced by tho great mastoid of
the art, the Chinese? We should say about
$30,000.
And yet Mr. Walti-rj only paid 118.000
for one.
Miss Susan B. Anthony, who has been In
Washington looking after the prospects of
woman suffrage in Congress, thinks about one
third of the Senate will vote for tbe woman
suffrage amendment She searcely expects
that tbe amendment will be carried at present,
but Is anxious to bare a vote reached so as to
' be able to discover who our friends are."
lllss Anthony, In spite of the senseless wit
lings who have vexed the ear of mankind with
paleocosmio chestnut at her expense, Is en
titled to respect and honor for the courage and
patience with which (he has advocated for
years a ctuss wlilcli hn never deeply touched
the sympathies of many men or many women.
It Is with no intention to slight ber conscien
tious work that we suggost that she should
not put too much confidence In whatever votes
the Senate may cast In favor of woman luffrage.
It U a truth that woman suffrage U not yet
considered as a MrIonsWUon. Many of the
politicians who are willing to favor it, for the
present, doubtless take the ground that they
will thereby get the votatof alt the men and
the Inflnenco of all the woman who want It
and will not loso the support of tho great body
of people who take no Interest in It whatever,
or regard It as hnmorous.
It Is posslbio that there Is a corlaln admix
ture of calculating toll-interest even in the
motives of such holy friends of tho unlverso at
IncaBlahi and Fbisme IIuah.

consummation of an Infamous job. We know that three

preirnt a great wruug. It has already passed the As

tho passage nf the bill ill its present shape.
Mr. vediler insisted on Instant action, aud
then, seeing the spirit ot tho SonHtc. Cegges

of pnicrcf sing the bill. It then went to third

Tho ton filibusters from tho steamship
Santo Domingo split yesterday morning into
two factions, the ragged aud tbo more ragged,
and eamo from the steamship's pier tn Brook

Tlio ragged refused to be seen in tho streets
with the more ragged. All hands were to
rendezvous at Alderman Fat DIvvor'e saloon In
Chatham street, Sandy Dix and Kid Doran.
however, had conspired to get possession
of tbe Consul's certificate brought from
Turks Island. It bad been in the
possession of John Whipple of Boston.
The oonsplrators think ther can raise some
money on tbe strength of (be certificate that
thoy wore abandoned at Turks Island because
thoy would not go and filibuster for Marco
AurelioSoto. and they don't want tbo money
to go to lloston.
After Dix ami the Kid bad got possession of
tho paper yesterday, they dodged Whipple all
day. Doran. Connors, and O'Conner went with
the paper to the Mills' building, where they
heard that W. L. Gould had his office. Gould
Is tbo man who engaged them to "pick
rubber." and they wanted him to settle with
them. They couldn't find him thoro or any
where else.
Everybody In tho Tourth ward soonr-d to bo
glad toaet them up for tho boys yesterday.
Jlefore tho shades nf night fell over Cas-'s
ll'ltior store at James and Madison streets.
Rome nf tho filibusters did not know whethor
they were on Turks Island or on Cherry Hill.
They had planned early In the day to have a
meeting at 4 I'. M and then go to Hoto's
pnlnce in Fifth avenue, and eee If he were
wllllne to pay them for tho trouble they had
been put to. Hoto Is tho ex-President of Hon
duras, and Is at the bottom of the City of Mulco
filibustering project. Tho boys were tn meot
In Widow Dunege.n's kitchen at 33 Jamn
street, but there wasn't n quorum nblo to eome
to time. The pilgrimage to Soto'a residence
was put oft until this mornltig, when it will bo
mado without fall by Whippier Gleason and
Chris Dunegan.
"It's no use of do hull crowd goln' along,"
expiatnod Gleason: "der makn-np of some of
der (oilers would give Soto do grand scare."
It leaked out vesteulay from the filibusters
that Marion Itay was to follow Wallace South

Recorder Smyth's decision in the case of
Plerlco de Mnrro. the Interpreting clerk In tho
Post Ofllce convicted in the General Sessions
last week of grand laroeny. raised
several interesting discussions betwton law
yers, yesterday, regarding its effect. Marro
appropriated to his own use $105 intrusted to
himlby Joseph Parocco. an Italian bootblack, to
be tent in a registered letter to Italy. The Ilo
corder decided that. Inasmuch as the larceny
was committed within tho Untlod States Post
Ofllce building, which stands on land belonging
to tbe United States, tho Court had no jurisdic
tion to punish, and Mnrro must be discharged.
Supposing." said a ihrewd lawyer, in the
Court ilouso yesterday, "it witness iu the In
vestigation as to thellroadway franchise, being
held in tbe PostOmce building, on United States
territory practically, be Indicted for perjury,
what could the Stato or county do ?"
There seemed tn be no doubt among lawyers
that the ltecnrder'a decision was good law. It
was hinted that the Senate eoinmitten had bean
entrapped Into tho Post Ofllce building bo that
witnesses could war as wildly as they wlshnd
without fear of prosecution. Mr. Conkling,
counsel for the committee, was not disponed to
discuss tho point yesterday. He said:
llinrn Is n great deal In bo snid regarding
tlin distinctions between the two eases, which
I am bound not to say now iu justice to my no
union. But I have no doubt that If any witness
commits perjury in tho Investigation, a way
will be found to prosecute him."
Marro, by the way, was arrested again yes.
torday by a United States Marshal and held for
trial in a United States Court.

and told the ttory nf tho wreck.
Tho Baxon sailed from Now York on Jan. 28,
bound for Capo llaytlon, with general cargo

evonlng, Fob. 4. as sho was entering the Turk's
Island passage being only about ton hours

of the Ike Bonham makes this statement:
" Pilot McElroy was In command and Mrs.
William Sargent was In charge of tho office. I
had jUBt tried the wator In the boiler and found
scant two gauges. I had loft the wheel and
S one back in the cabin to dinner, leaving An
rows steering. In an Instant the shock came.
I was knocked down and hot bricks from tbn
furna-'e almost covered me. They wore calling
for help. The explosion tore away the ofllce.
pilot houso, chimneys, forward boiler deck,
nnd all the forward part of tho cabin, throwing
them into the river. Six deck hands were
blown overboard, only ono of whom was recov
ered. All on board wore scnlded except Mrt.
Sargent. Immediately afior tbe oxplosion
she took command of the boat, wont below,
helped to launch the yawl, and commanded
thnso who were able to rescue those In tbe
river. By this time tbe di5brls around tho
boiler bad caught fire, and she soiled the draw
bucket, drew wator rrom the river and
qtienchod the flames, after which she took n
shovel and throw the r-'d-hot furnace brick
overboard. Mrs. Hargent by her heroism saved
tho wreck from burning, and with It my life
and those of the other wounded on board."
Capt, Kareent Is In San Antonio, where ho

Nobody In America ever 6nw anything llko
tho stunning billiards that Jake Schaofer
played In Cosmopolitan Hall last night. It wns
the fourth section of his great mntch with
Maurice Vlgnaux. Littlo Jacob rattled ofT 39
daisy carrnms tho moment tho rafereo gave the
word to start. Thoy sent his lead over Vlgnaux
from 771 to 810. The unparalleled ploy that
followed completely demoralized Vlgnaux, who
cracked duck eggs and made singles in a dis
heartened way. The billiard lovers sighed
sympathetically for blm. but tbey were uproar
ious when the ollpper little American
wns st the table. The Little Wizard
made his fourth inning spectacular by Intro
ducing to view 90 carronis that were mar
vellously varied, On top of tnse he piled 3D
brilliants, and then dashed off a duster Of 37
beauties. He was over 1.000 ahead, and be
kept right on at tbe same tremendous rate.
Finally tbe big cavalryman. Vlgnaux, plucked
up courage aud rolled up 97. Tne billinrd
lovers greet-d them with rousing cheers. Little
Jacob rubbed some obalk on his dandy cue and
crushed them to pieces with a load of 230.
Nobody had ever dnne anything in public at
the game that came anywhere near It. Tho
best previous achievement was Vlgnaux's feat
of rolling up 19C In Chicago last year.
Part of the nursing was done by Imparting an
extraordinary and wholly novel "twist" Im
pulse to the cue ball, that carromed frnm ball
to hall while both objuct balls lay chock up
against tho lower end cushion, each objoct bnfi
being on an opposite) side of the balk line. Tho
shout of exultation that wont up over the run
wholly drowned Budd Scolleld's voice when he
sbnutedthe llgtires. Tha shout wbb comnll
cateu by a tremendous stamplag of boot heels
and thumping of umbrellas. Tbe gallant littlo
American was 1,123 points ahead.
Tho big cavalryman made two tiny runs of 20
and 12. and then Little Jacob jumped iu with a
laugh and ran the game out at a dash. This
was tho score:

light moustache and neatly dressed approached
them. He said nothing, nnd seemed to be con

his overcoat and stepped out into tbe river
above the Canadian falls, where the current is
terribly swift and tho rocks almost reach ths
surface. Before thoy bad time to think of res
cuing him the current caught him nnd he was
carried along and over the boiling Horseshoe
Fall. His cont. with the Blees turned Inside

At the hotels no audi man was known, and it is
thought he stepped off n train, wnlkod to Codur
