The cele- bration of the day for the first time as a hational holiday ought to be significant of fn approaching time when, the common in- ferest of labor and capital being recognized Dy both, disagreements between them will be setrled in a_friendly spirit and with a view to servi the best interests of the commurity in general. Labor day will be- come indeed a significant day in the Amer- fean calendar if it commemorates the open- ing of an era when good sense and justice shall rule in the settlement of labor trou- bles. The fact that there is a labor day rec- ognized by law as a national holiday will Promote discussion of labor problems. Min- isters, editors, publicists, legislators will give more time and thought to the import- nt social and economic topics growing out of what is generally described as the labor Question. These important matters will not be left to be settled by irresponsible labor agitators on the one side, or by grasping and heartless employers on the other. In this new era, when a Christian spirit will pre- Yall, public opinion will not permit the grinding of the poor, because they are poor and helpless; nor will strikes, boycotts and Tiots, bringing disaster upon the working- men, as well as the whole community. be suffered, for the laborer will know that there are better means at his disposal for securing justice. ed The weck of the national ercampment of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias Closed today with an interesting ceremony at Camp George Washington. This was the Presentation of the prizes awarded by the Judges of the drills and of the beautiful trophy offered by The Evening Star for the Begiment adjudzed to have made the best _— appearance in the parade of last uesday. This trophy is a handsome stand of cclors—the finest that could be made. Phe Mag is a regulation regimental silk flag and the guidons are of red silk, made a €ording to the regulations of the order of Knishts of Pythias. Every one who wit- Nessed the parade last Tuesday was struck with the teanty of the line as a whole, and the fine effects produced by the uniform of the order. and the precision of the move- ments. There were many bodies in line that deserved al praise neral ap- pearanc nt which 80 conspi ints that are that the j warded. Old Glory tains of West Vir minds t Amer! kind started out to pr t the a know a good first thing Ins a ordnance officers was a minimizing of the caliber, and it was finally decided that something a trifle larger than twenty-three- hundedths of an inch was the correct thing; thé barrels to be made of nickel-steel, and thus be practically rust-proof. Then the army breech-mechanism was declared to be faulty, and even though it was not faulty it was objectionable because it was not of American invention. Fully informed as to the intenticns of their brethren of the navy, the army ordnance authorities went right along with their expensive work of making the .30 caliber improved Krag- Jorgensen. Within a few days the navy board will test the guns that inventors have submitted, and the chances are that before the first snow falls the work of man- ufacturing a .23-caliber gun for the navy will be well under way. A great many people who are interested in this general rearmament, which must soon spread to the national guard and the naval reserve, want to know why there cannot be an agrement as to calibers. Why should the two forces, who may frequently be called upon to act in concert, be armed with rifles using different varieties of ammunition? Either the army gun or the navy gun {s superior, and there ought not to be very much trouble in finding out which. The chances are that the navy rifle is to be much the better of the two, and with that probability in prospect it would seem to be no more than wise for the War Depart- ment to stop incurring any more expense in the manufacture of a gun that may within a few days be proven considerably inferior to a weapon which Is to be issued to our salt-water fighters. It may not be easy to bring about agreement as to breech- mechanism and caliber, but no one who has given an hour's thought to the question will insist that there is anything but disadvan- tage in the two calibers being declared official. Whether the interior of the barrel be .23 or all rifles for use by the forces of the United States should use the same ammunition. Battles were lost and thou- sands of lives sacrificed in our own civil war because there was lack of unanimity as to ammunition. —— After two days of harinonious session the meeting of Southern business men in this city has adjourned, after taking a decist' step in the direction of perfecting a per- manent organization, to be located here and to have for its object the advertise- ment and development of the industries and resources of the South. The convention can congratulate {tself upon having, with a minimum emount of discussion, trans- acted business which promises to be of benefit to the South. The result of the meeting, briefly statel, is the formation of a committee, consisting of one man from each Southern state, which is to formulate a plan and arrange the details for the establishment in Washington of a permanent bureau of exhibits of Southern products, which is also to afford the means of communication between capital seeking in vestmert and safe and reliable Southern enterprises, whether agricultural, manu- facturing or financial. This committee is to report at a subsequent convention, to be Jd in this city, to be composed of ten gates from each Southern state and the District of Columbia, to be appointed by the governor, in addition to the men .-m- rising the membership of the convention and the final details are be completed and ratified.

The new tariff law went into effect without the President's signature and the receipts at the custom house were largely increased by importers taking mer- chandise out of bond at the reduced rates, Secretary Carlisle having decided that they could be taken out at the prevailing rates, and not at the rates existing when they were entered. The receipts at the New York cus- tom house were not up to those during the five days after the McKinley law went into effect, four years ago. Representative Wil- son, author of the new law, was enthusias- tically renominated, and took advantage of the occasion to deliver a tariff address which, it is believed, set the keynote for the democratic speeches of the coming cam- zaign. He blamed the democratic Senators for not passing a more radical bill, praised the President's attitude, and declared that with the people's aid greater progress would be made in tariff reduction.
