THE EVENING STAR has @ regular and permanent circulation in Washington three imeslarger than that efany ether paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- _ Vertishag Medium it has ne competiter. ——————— ‘With an evident determination to make the celebration a success not surpassed by any of the brilliant ceremonials that have taken place in this city capable committees are now planning out a program of festiv- ities by which, on the eighteenth day of September next, most of the people then within the District of Columbia will be im- Pressed with the fact that the Capitol cor- erstone had been laid just one hundred Wears before, So far as the proceedings have been outlined the plans are most sat- Istactory and there is no reason why the experierze that has so far directed the movement should fail as to any of the de- tails. The occasion is not in any sense a #mail one nor should it be regarded as purely local; there should be national in- terest in the centennial of such @ happen- ing as the commencement of work in the construction of what is now admitted to he the most stately of all structures devot- ed to legislative purposes. This opinion is undoubtedly similar to that held by the committee on ceremonies, for in response to its invitation President Cleveland will eliver an address. Associated with the chief magistrate on the memorable occa- sion will be William Wirt Henry, a lineal Gescendant of Patrick Henry and an ora- tor of renown; a grand vocal chorus, in- strumentally assisted, and many other equally interesting features. Governors of states and territories have all been request- ed to lend their presence or that of an of- ficial representative and as Congress will he in session at that time the members of the Senate and the House will certainly at- tend. A grand parade and suitable iltumin- ation and fireworks will be the spectacular slories of the day and night, and as the ar- Fangements for these pleasing accompant- ments are fn good hands the result will probably be a decided advance upon any- thing of the kind ever before witnessed on the banks of the Potomac. Citizens general- Jy should interest themselves in every useful ‘way to forward the plans of those who are devoting their time and energies in the eity’s behalf. —— +02 ___ Just why an increase in the atmospheric temperature should cause a decrease of moral strength is not clearly apparent, but even the casual observer must have noted that the “fakir” and the summer are al- ways conspicuously coincident. With zeal the like of which {s rarely applied to hon- est endeavor, the “fakir’ did his best to convince everyone that President Cleveland ‘was on the verge of dissolution, when, as ® matter of fact, the chief executive was merely suffering from the assaults of that tired feeling. Then the journalistic liar made a geographical lightning-change and Yeached the far northwest just in time to send out the most startling yarns as to the sinking of the U. S. S. Mohican by a pi- ratical sealer in Alaskan waters. This fake had hardiy been exploded before the newspapers were once more victimized into printing harrowing tales of the suffering which Mr. Joseph Jefferson was supposed to ‘be struggling with because of = cancerous complaint that promised soon to end his @ays—another Iie. If the fool-iller would only turn his attention to the knaves for awhile there would be great general grati- fication. —_ +2 —_— “Iceman” Turner is quoted as saying that he has made no personal canvass of the members of the House because he thought it would be unnecessary. He de- clares that he has not even interviewed the New York democratic delegation, re- lying mainly on the hope that a second term will be given all old officers. Such Te-elections ‘have taken place, but Mr. ‘Turner should not rely too strongly on this Precedent, as the present administration has been @ bad one for traditions that are far more robust than this one, + ‘This Is & period when trifles make them- selves distinctly felt.

J., woman was threat- ened by “regulators” with a coat of tar and proceeded to arm herself and give a public display of marksmanship that put a com- plete quietus to the threats that had been made. Her efforts toward regulating the “regulators” proved entirely successful and eminently desirable, + +2 ___ Tise and decline of @ tremendous power. Trades unions by their lack. of. cohesion had created much dissatisfaction in the ranks of labor and when Powderly went forth preaching the gospel of muscular cen- tralization he was hailed as the greatest of apostles. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands flocked to the ban- ner of industrial knighthood and for a year or So it seemed as though nothing would be able to stand should that flood ever surge against the legislative barriers in its way. but the test was néver made. Powderly’s efforts to prevent strikes caused dissension and in a little while he was deserted by many who had been his most enthustastic Supporters; then came religious troubles, it having been alleged that Powderiy was controlling the order in behalf of the Ro- man Catholic Church. This latter assevera~ tion did infinite damage to the chief's in- fluence and cut down the membership very matertally. Since then the decadence has been very apparent, and although the knights are still powerful in many vicini- ties thelr united strength is not as great as that possessed by other and less secret or- ganizations. But Mr. Powderly has been very patient. He has tolled to bring about harmony and has worked in what seems to the public to have been an unselfish fash- jon and now that he can no longer control the element that remains will retire, He leaves not only his office but the order also, for no lawyer can be admitted to member- ship in the Knights of Labor, He shakes the dust of Knighthood off his feet and will see whether there is or is not more satisfaction in laboring for himself than for others, ——_+~ e+ ___ ‘With the emergency comes the man. He is @ Colorado man, of course, Coming from any other state than that which is ruled by Davis H. Waite, he would not have been equal to the emergency. All over the country the financiers were endeavoring to guess at the administration policy in the somewhat important matter of silver, when Capt. Thatcher—whose post office is Aspen, Col, unbosomed himself to the press of Denver and told the waiting world what the President and his Secretary of the Treasury were considering, After notify- ing everybody that he had been privileged to the extent of conference with the two dignitaries referred to, Capt. Thatcher de- clared that President Cleveland assured him that there would be no effort on his part to bring about unconditional repeal of the Sherman law, and that they were en- gaged in deep thought over three proposi- tions: “One for free coinage at an increased ratio and retirement of all paper money under $5; second, free coinage of four mil- lion ounces monthly, with seignorage for coining foreign bullion; third, the re-enact- ment of the Bland law, making coinage of four million ounces a month compulsory.” Unitkely as Capt. Thatcher's story was, it was believea by a few who did not stop to think that neither President Cleveland nor Secretary Carlisle would be apt to give out such interesting information through such @ comparatively unknown medium, In- quiry has developed the fact that save as an applicant for office, Capt. Thatcher of Aspen, Col. is unknown by the administra- tion, and there has been no difficulty what- ever in proving conclusively that Capt. Thatcher of Aspen, Colo., has qualities that entitle him to promotion in any coun- try where veracity is a misdemeanor. He should at least be a captain of cavalry, 80 that when Gov. Davis H. Waite’s horse is wading in blood up to his bridle Capt. Thatcher of Aspen may not be compelled to walk. ————__++2___ Office seekers who desire to see the Pres- ident, but are shut out by his order, may console themselves with the fact that he is going to be visible to the public.on Sep- tember 18, when the Capitol corner stone celebration takes place. ——_+++___ Gov.

To be sure this would be rather inconvenient, but-it would be much less risk. —_e———— Tt ts stated quite positively that Terence ‘Vv. Powderly, general master workman of the Knights of Labor, is about to resign his office and take up the practice of law. ‘The rumor Is probably true and is not sur- prising. Clear-headed, ready of wit and smooth spoken, Mr. Powderly eame near to being an ideal leader, but the conservatism that had its origin in a great depth of com- mon-sense made him unpopular with the rougher and frequently dominant classes among those who owed allegiance to the cause of labor, and this friction generated heat that at times was almost unbearable. When such strife was on Mr. Powderly was frequently tempted to sever his connection with the order, but the tenacity which is such @ marked characteristic overcame the finer sensibilities and urged a renewal of the struggle. Beneath @ modest exterior Powderly hides 2 great ambition, less great than {t once was perhaps, but not easily got rid of. His aim was the upbuilding of an organization of workingmen which should in time be powerful enough to crush opposition and to become the supreme po- Utieal factor. He believed in the ballot and the campaign of reason, but his ideas were fought in his own council and in al- most every assembly there were those who condemned bis methods as slow, and who Jet no opportunity pass which had in it room for a sneer ora blow at the man who ‘was doing his utmost to foster a growth that promised to be phenomenal.
