Two interesting reports of legislative committees appointed to investigate phases of the labor question have been lately made public.

Both committees devote some space to a consid eration of the rights and thc limits of action of organized lubor, and both agree in taking asonad view of the matter. Their conclusion is in effect that, while thc right of a man or of bodies of men to refuse to labor for what they regard as unjust re muneration is unquestionable, the right of employers to determine what wages they shall pay is equally unquestionable, as is thc right of workmen who desire to keep aloof from labor associations or combina tions lo dispose of their labor as they please and at what rates they please, and that any constraint or intimidation intended torestrii t this freedom of employers and unassoci ated laborers is improper aud unlawful.

I rejoice to sec the time coming when Inci dents In the administration of political par tics will show to the colored mun, of thc South especially, that ho must regulate bis politics as white men do, to wit. according to his lx\st Interests and the highest welfare of the government. I do not endorse much that tho Demo eratic party hus done toward tho negro, bul I recognize thc folly of dwelling upan it, in thc face of changed relationships and a new era in the South. The negro must se lcet in thc South that line of polities which will give him protection In his rights. To sa}' to him that he cannot he protected isas bad as to deny him protection. Fearing that some may say thal this ls written to favor my nomination lo tho office, let me say that I know while 1 write of Mr. Trotter's confirmation, and am glad of it. Why should a negro Democrat he objected to by Republicans and II white accepted I cannot understand. The' Ropilb publican has done much good fer tho nc pro; let it continue in well doing if it will, but let it remember that its ward is a man. a citizen, a thinker and a politician, like its other members.
