BNCHNEERS OKT TOO MUCH PAY.
The writern movement for tnerrnsed
pay for engineer evidently gave, noiiio
thing f a Hghtinitre to u member of
the tl rut of Keurio lltothera, North
Manchester, I ml., ilea Ion In "Uroiu,
liny iiml Mccil Corn mid Unit a Spec.
hilly." II. K. Writes tliu Grand Oliluf
that be vrlahea to "protent ngalust. Mm

ccufi' an lucrcanc In wage. Other peo
pit arc entitled to something, well an
your engineer. They ought to bo per
fectly iHtlliitled with tho wagon they
have beau getting in fuct, there would
perhaps linve been more Juvtlcu In de
creasing their vragci thau lucre mint;
them, whon compared with wage puld
for other labor, What in there about
this work vv'ileh glvta miy reason for
so much more pay than many other
branches of labor I It looks like you
people ure mighty greedy, and public
iciitlirent wilt soon turn against you
if you persist in such n course. Any sot
of men who an so extravagant that
they will not save lots of money at the
wages your engineers arc getting ought
to give ploro to other men who will
gladly accept the work ami the present
pay, and would lay up n gteut deal of
money too.
"There are thousands of other men
who would till the places just as well
n those who ore now at the throttle."
This is not nil of the letter, but wu
have left nothing out that would eradi
cate the spleen shown by the writer.
An old proverb snys: "Scratch a n-
sitlve person and you will And a selfish
, oiie" and this dealer in hog-feed i
I evidently netuated entirely by self-Interest.
That he known nothing about
his subject is evidenced by his stuto
meut that there are thoiisitlids of men
who could lill the places of engineers
lust as well a those who have inndc it
a life work and hnvo had to endure the
nnrdships Incident to learning the busi
ness, ami pas the many i.ntiilnnllnii
necessary to qualify for this position.
This is the kind of mini who Is milk
ing a howl against any Increase in
freight rates, and lie evidently care
nothing about what he engineer gets
.for his services or whether the rnndl-
lions are below decent living o lung
, as he is getting a cheap rate for his
hog feed; and it is evident that were he
J compelled to pny 10 cent, a ton more
freight he would want toehurge hi- cits
tumors 2f cents more because of it.
Such opinions a expressed by II. K.
are ton narrow and sellish to exorcise
any influence upon anyone who n-cng-niea
that there i viincthiiig in the
labor ipiestlou aside trntii the selfish
rule that labor's market value is fixed
by the seller's necessities.
We are glad to know that organised
i labor is educating this barbarous idea
lout of most minds, but there are still a
tew left who are so full of elflshnes
j and spleen against nruuuircd labor,
' which Is necessary to compel them to
l deal justly with humanity, that we up
i pose they aru Impelled, like this dealer
In hug-feed, to demonstrate how near he
j comes to the stuff lie sells. Knglneers

LEOIM.ATIVB WOllK
Wo have before us a very intelligent
report of the part taken by the Joint
Committee representing the interest s of
the rnllrnnu fraternities at the Constitu
tional Convention In New Mexico, In
October, 1UI0. It shuns that the right
spirit wnl mnnlfest, looking lifter 'lie
Interests of those they represented by
assisting in Inserting hcnctlcliil law In
to the iiew constitution or objecting
to that which would be Inimniil to tlmt
interest.
That is what is done b every class
vvith interest enough to take part in the
deliberations mid whoever can bring
stirllcleut facts to the attention of the
delegation to create a majority secure
what the desire, though these laws ate
sometimes classed as clns legislation
by those who wish to avoid their nppli
cation,
The committee's efforts were directed
toward the State adopting the Vntlounl
Liability Law, the Initialise, Keferen
diun and Itcoll Law, Just mul eipntable
freight and passenger rates, ami for the
appointment for a railroad .oinmlion
composed of three, of whom shall
have nt least llo years experience in
actual railroad service; and, whether
the representatives of the railroad work
ers were with the majority or minority
or, whether they injected into the new
constitution that which was ib-scribed
by their constituents, they porfiirliu-d h
doty which devolves upon every class
if they are to have n voice In thin
conditions under which they live aid
work: Hud, with that duty performed,
tht-v ure nlvvnvs in a .poitinii to con
sistently complain " nnHi il'aetory con
ditions they had tried to remedy, while
hud they taken no part in it mid ex
pressed no preference for special comll
lions, they would have poor standing
and get little notice when complaining.
The report shows that they did not
get all they worked for, but that Is
pnto natural and occurs in every leg
islative body; but they are in a position
where they have a right to complain
and to point out what they deshed and
by so doing poslbly convert the min
ority into a majority ami obtain the de"
sired end.
The report sent In by Itro. W. II,
Slmlt jr. member of )v. :t?l. is an inter
esting document, but printed in full
Mould require ''. pages of space in the
Journal; hence, we touch upon some of
the essential features only.
It is u lesson f duty performed mid
a tfood example for every Legislative
Hoard representing the It. ot L. C. for,
if they do nothing more than watch and
see that adverse legislation does not gel
a l.-irlng, thev- are guarding the inter
ests they represent, and If they .n in
ject new law into the constitution which
Is directly beneficial they are nccump
lisliing a direct giml.
The legislature will meet In many
states In Intiunry, mid it will be well
if nil the field l covered ,y reprepiita
lives nf the It. of L. K. for. If we nre In

way to look after interests than those
