The Public Meeting of the Federation of Labor. THE LABOR MOVEMENT AS INTERPRETED BY MESSRS, RALSTON AND GANT—THE NIGHT SCHOOLS AND THE BREAD-WINNERS. The Federation of Labor unions held a well attended public meeting at their hall, on Penn- sylvania avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, last evening. Mr. E. W. Oyster presided. The speeches made during the evening were ire- quently applauded. Mr. Jackson H. Ralston was the first speaker. He said the workingmen’s movement was re- cognized as the leading movement of the time. It was excelied by no other in importance. It had had its parallels; it supplements another eran The fact that workingmen were able to organize to carry out their purposes was the natural outcome of contests our fathers and grandfathers had been en; ed in for many enerations. He sketched rapidly the processes Faghich the peovle had gradually stripped kings of their power. The history of all the steps to the roeene time, when we have at least nominal equality before the law, were marked by struggles and martyrdoms. "These steps would not be complete and perfect until supplemented by others, From the past they had attained something more than the husks of liberty; now it was for them to fill out these husks with something solid. In a certain sense all men were equal before the law. But did they suppose the man with nothing enjoyed the same freedom. of speech as the man with amillion? Did he have the same influence or vote as many votes? What the must aim at_now was such perfect independ ence between man and man us that no man could by virtue of wealth control the votes or liberties of others. That was a point to be gained largely through the instrumentality of unions, After referring to the fight in the mid- dle ages against kingly pwer he suid the trades unions of to-day had to win for them- selves and for the country a grander independ- ence from the moneyed Oligarchies that had taken the place of the kings of old. The con- tests of the past had been WON BY FORCE. Force, in @ certain sense, must be used now and in the future, Money, iatellect, organiza- tion are force. They to-day had to call to their uid these three factors of foree, Without these three nothing could be effected in the futur All moneyed institutions now separated fron labor interests were bucked by these force: money, ability, organization. They must meet: them h the sume weapons, After the long Struggle of the past, power had been withdrawn from ihe camps of the Kings to the people. The people had become not only the governed ut the governors, We have now the two separaie camps, of the employers and the employed. ‘Che power belonging to the employer must be drawn over until there is no employer and no employe as separate in- stitutions, but every employe will be his own employer, This, he thought, must be the logi- calend of the struggle going on to-day. The condition of affairs to-day between a great raii- road and its emploses, while a necessary out- come of the present system, was not a natural ove. There was, he thought, but one solution of the difficulties: That was ‘not through tem- porizing measures, but the ownership of things, which are rally inonopolies, by the state itself, jothing else could secure the welfare of the employe and the welfare of the com- munity, CONVICT LABOR ON THE STREETS. Mr. John Tyler, jr., made a brief address, He sald he was satisfied that in the hands of the Knights of Labor rested the future welfare of the United States, and not in the hands of any existing politicians or political organizations. For the first me the ple were organized tor their own purposes. Now they were their own leaders. He said ‘that two questions had been submitted to him by the Fede:ation fot revort. One Was, Under what law, if any, is convict labor on the streets of Washington authorized? He said be could not answer that yet, because he could find nolaw, but the mer jietuin of the employers. One thing was certain, law or no law, couviet labor should not be put into competition or conflict wii honest labor. Tne second question was regarding liquor license, and upon this Mr. Tyler made a temperance Speech of some length favoring local option. ‘THR NIGHT SCHOOLS. Mr. E. T. Peters spoke on the subject of night schools in this city. He presented statistics concerning public schools in the country, show: ing that the great mass of pupils neverattended schools higher than the lower grades. ‘The children of poor parents necessarily dropped. out, as they had to go to work. The high school was availed only by a comparative few. Only about one in twenty-five of the population was able to go through the whole course; only one in four goes much beyond the primary course. He thought the night schools were indispeusa- ble, that ey should be supped with the best teachers and kept up as welt in every respect as the day schovis, Ii necessary, the night-school course should stretch out over a longer period. Formerly it was useless to talk of jor the beacfit of working ple. tired at the close of their long day's toil to at- tend school, ‘The eight-hour movement now bade fair to be @ success in this city in May, and in view of this movement he thought the subject of night schools important. The time which workingmen would devote to intelligent cultivation, would bear in material production, greater fruit than the extra labor exacted under the lopg hour system. The effi- | ciency and inventive power of workers would be increased to such aa extent, he thought, as in twenty-five years to double or treble produe- tion, Mr. Peters recited briefly the iacts regard- ing the night schools established during the past winter, and suggested that the federation take some action to assist in influencing the District Commissioners and Congress w provide for paying for the expense of these schools. When the eight-hour movement succeeds, he said, there would be a large number of people here who will want to avail themselves of night schools. ‘MR, GANT’S ADDRESS, Mr. T. F.Gant, the next speaker, said that two years ago he was a member of the commit- tee of education of the Kuights of Labor, whose object was to secure the opening of night schools. The District Commissioners and the school trustees held labor organizations in so much contempt that they coud not get a hear- ing. He thought ita disgrace that night schools were necessary at all; the child of the working- man should be as able to attend the high school as the child of the rich man, Night scuools are a necessity; the Knights of Labor are a necessi- ty. The Knights of Labor are no longer treated with contempt; the doors were open to them now. The country during the past week had been ringing with Victories of the Knights of Labor, Still, he considered the labor move- ment ina more precarious condition to-day ufter these victories than two years ago. He re- ferred to the disorganizing influence of victory when armies lost their discipline, They must not forget that in the glow ot little victories that the fight had just begun, hey had only sur- prised the enemy; they should make no mis- take. The enemy had resources of which they did not dream. Capital—the parasitic class— was just waking up to the fact that labor was organizing. He referred to a remark madeouly afew days ago by Gen. Francis A. Walker to the students of Yale, referring to the labor troubles, that ‘the time is pear at hand when the employers would have control ot the situa- Se Oe That was the way a farsighted man i THE RAILROAD TROUBLE. ‘The work had been commenced on the Gould system of railways in the southwest. The opera- Uons so far had been notable for the absence of the state militia, The lawyers of the corpora- tions had been issuing injunctions against the Knights of Laborto keep away from the railway property. ‘This was & new line of tactics. These injunctions, coming from the United States | association, and Rev. R. S. William: courts, took the matter out of the hands of the railroads into the nds of the United States courts, which were supported by marshals and deputy marshals, Behind the marsbals was the United states army. There may be some‘ question whether ‘their brethren in confilet with the. Gould railroads would be successful in their ey may defeated. There were many legal coin} plica- involved.

It did not cause » in the organization. coln to Congress in 1861, which he said had from the histories, ‘This ex- ‘the spoke that an effort was being made to place capital above labor. Mr. Lincoln saw it; the workingman did not. Mr. Gantt referred to what he considered the delusive teachings of hackneyed cant of political economy, as it bas been taught in relation to supply and demand and the survival ot tue fittest. When Lincoln spoke he said there were probably not one han- red workingmen in the country who did not expect some day to escape from the working class and take ‘their places in the parasitic class. There were more opportunities then to escape. The great progress of invention, the minute divisions of labor, however, have so di- minished THE HOPE OF THE MASSES that a change has come over the hearts of the tollers of the country. The hope of escaping from a life of toll has gone out; a new hope has taken its place. The oppression of capital has not been without its benefits. It has compelled workingmen to think, and they have come to correct conclusions. They have learned that the injury of one is the concern of ail. In Mis- souri engineers and artisans protested because the meanest of the railroad employes, the switchmen and brakemen, were oppressed by their employers. The’ capitalists found the pluinbers, painters, plasterers, tailors, wash- Women, everybody after them. "There was a Philosophy init. The battle ery of the Knights of Labor had gone forth in the land, and had awakened all that was human in the masses. It had recognized the humanity of women and of the lowest toller, It is a guzintic club, which has hammered out of them all that was left of individualism. The workingmen no louger hoped to be ‘the capitalists, but they were making, and intended to make, their class THE DOMINANT CLASS. This struggle would never end so long as in- Jury was done to the humblest. They would make human happiness possivle. They pro- | posed that the true standard of human great- ness should be character and intellect, not wealth, Referring to the principle of arbitra- Uon inéisted upon by the Knights ot Labor, Mr. Gantt said thai for the first time it history, during the past week, public opinion had been with the laboring mau, because they proposed todo the fair thing. ‘He pictured the time when the law of supply and demand would po longer be quoted, but tue arbitrats would fix the scald of wages by U the labor. Reierring to other reiorms which he said, were being worked out, he said they dreamed of a future when nothing could limit the improvement of the human race, WAITING FOR DEATH. The Three Murderers Now in the Dis- trict Jail—Preparing for the Galiows. Monday, as stated iu THe Star, the sentence fdeath passed upon Richard J.

The cases of Louis Sommertieid, for the murder of his wite and mother-in-law, and of the Italian Antonio Nar- dello, for the murder of his tellow-countryman Carmine Rotunno, are pending, but it 1s not thought that the sentence of death in either cuse will be reversed, so it is probable that there will be two excutions for the first Friday after the close of the General Term and one for the second Friday thereafter. dello, who talks but little English, occupies cell No. 1, in the south wing of the jail.

I have lately read in your paper two articles on the subject, and Iam sur- | prised that none seem to realize the harm the cat does, The cat will not suck the child's breath, but the child will inbale¢he breath of the cat, which is very poisonous. I remember, not many years ago, seeing a catloving ebild made very sick with terrible fitsorspasms. She could always be found with the cat in her arms, Finally she took the cat’s breath by kissing it in the mouth, and immediately tell into fits. I have never allowed a cat around my home since I saw that. I'suppose if the cat could thus Kill @ child it would then gorge itself on the child's flesh, as it is known that a cat will try to get where there Is a dead body ifitean. I know Of no being cats will sect to sleep with but a human being, and I think they have the power to Kill a person in the way mentioned above were they left undisturbed, I would advise that all eats be kept trom the eradle, and also that ehildren be not allowed to carry abouva catin arms. oT A LOVER OF CATS, a Pasteur and His Detractors. To the Editor of Tue EVENING Star: Since your last evening’s issue has been read in thousands of homes to unsettle the taith in sclence’s latest hope, a cure for hydrophobia, will you kindly grant me a little space to ask if it was worth the while to cable from England the unsupported assertion of an unknown Dr. Anna Kingsford against the painstaking, care- ful researches of a man like Pasteur? Do they ‘who willgive credence to your cablegram know who Pasteur is? The man who having demon- strated che truth of the germ theory of disease Was not content till he had found out how to proof against its venom, Since the founder of the Christian religion no one has done so much for the welfare of the world as he. They who venture to call Pasteur a hum- bug should ask the silk weavers of Lyons, the wine merchants of France, whose wealth is measured by the periection of their vintuge, and those poor herdsmen whose very existence depends upon the cattle which they tend on a‘Ticusand hills ot Europe, what they think ‘Would it not be well for our parking commis- sioners, or whoever has charge of such matters, ic MARCH 17.

Something of Its History as Told in An Oficial Letter—The Origin of the Na- tional Museum. The Interior department recently sent a let ter of inquiry to Prof. Baird, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, asking several questions in regard to the origin and history of that institution, which elicited from Win, 3. Rhees, the chief clerk, some valuable historical data, “Congress by act of May 14, 1836,” Mr. Rhees says in his communication, “appropriated $150,000 for a surveying and exploring expedi. tion to the Pacific ocean and South seas, This is known as the Wilkes’ exploring expedition. May 15, 1840, the National Institution was or ganized with Honorable J. R. Poinsett, Secre tary of War,and Honorable James K.’ Pauld+ ing, Secretary of the Nuvy, as directors. By act arch 3d, 1844, $5,000 were appropriated to defray the expense of transporting to Wash- | ington and arranging and preserving the col- lection made by Ue exploring expedition. By direction of the Secretary of the Navy, these collections were placed in the care of the National institution Mareh 15,1841, and de posited in the Patent office April, 1s4i. In June, 1841, the collectic Indian por. traits and’ curiosities of the War department was deposited in the cabinet of THE NATIONAL INSTITUTION by the Secretary of War. In July, 1841, the minerals, books, manuscripts and other articles forming part of the Smithsonian bequest were deposited by the Secretary of the Treasury.
