The great labor meeting appointed to take place in Chicago on the 15th proximo, and at which Secretary Carlisle will deliver an address on the money question, may prove the forerunner of a state of things at which the whole country would have reason to re- joice. The meeting is to be non-partisan in character. Republicans, democrats, popu- Usts, will participate without regard to divi- sions on questiens strictly political. The desire is to hear the money question stated in a non-psrtisan way, and by a man rec- ognized as an authority on the subject. The invitation to Mr. Carlisle, therefore, did not grow out of his eminence as a democratic leader, nor was it intended to express, for or against, an opinion on any financial act of tae present administration. Hfs duties as the firancial officer cf the government have afforded him opportunities for study- ing the meney question in all of its impor- tant bearirgs, and the views so formed are the ones the labor organizations have ex- pressed a desire to hear him state from the standpoint of a financier rather than from that of a party leader. And it is in this spirit that Mr. Carlisle has accepted the in- vitation, and will deliver the desired ad- dress. It is to be hoped that the Chicago meet- ing may inaugurate a series of such meet- ings, and that representative men of all parties and representing the different views on the question may be invited to address them. The money question, in its proper analysis, is not a political question, and should not be permitted to become a device for trading, or a subject for heated partisan discussion, in 2 national campaign. All the people are vitally interested in a just and wise solution of it, and this can only pro- ceed from a calm and thoughtful discussion of it. Th> parties of course will handle it, and make it serve party ends as’far as pos- Bible, but if prior to the hoiding of the na- tional conventions the great governing masses shall have been reached by deliver- ances addressed to their reason and their busi i terests rather than to their par- tisan zeal and prejudices, the effect will be of a bene‘icial character cn the platform builders at St. Louls and Chicago. The work done there will be the better for the knowledge that it is to be examined and Passed upon by a thoroughly awakened and Instructed popular interest and intelligence. Men who labor are in the majority in this country. Their voice when expressed con- trols the country. The money question is and should be everything to them. The de- Plorable effects of a weakened public credit would fall first and heaviest upon them. ‘This manifestation on their part, therefore, of a desire to hear from n-en of recognized authority on the subject in a non-partisan spirit is one upon which the country, with every reason, may congratulate Itself. Let silver men, sound money men, all be heard, and no man then shall be justified in quar- reling with the verdict. —___++-+- A Temple of Justice. Intent upon an endeavor to do that which must sooner or later come to pass, Senator Morrill is once more on record as anxious to bring about the governmental purchase of the square north of the Congressional Library and east of the Capitol, so that on the site thus secured there may be erected @ building devoted to the Supreme Court of the United States. Such a proposition has been advanced many times but it has never gone beyond the stage of a favorable report from the Senate Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. There is, however, @ dual and pressing deraand which may result in legislative progress. The Senate eds more room but it does not need it half as much as does the Suprome Ccurt. The present session of Congress may not authorize such an appropriation as will be required to inaugurate the plan for which Senator Morrill is now sponsor but in the session to come there is likely to be more liberality. Perhaps it is possible to secure the preparatory legislation now—:ne appro- Priation being postponed until after the election—and if that- possibility presents itself Senator Morrill may be depended upon to seize it. The senior Senator from Vermont has always been sincerely imter- sted In all matters pertaining to the Na- tional Capital and has many times shown himself to be one of the city’s best friends. He will place the country under added ob- ligations to him {f he carries to successful conclusion the plans outlined in his favor- able repert on the Supreme Court building project. ——__+e+__ Man’s Inhumanity to Man. Another life was Drobgbly sacrificed today bn the city post-effice building. The horrible yecurrence can hardly be termed an accident, for it came to pass because proper precau- tions were not taken for the Protection of the man who was Injured and the men who are likely to meet death at any moment. The Ster has recently called attention to the czrelessness manifested by some of the contractors who have been engaged in the work of post-office construction. In some Instances the failure to provide proper safe- guards was doubtless due to thoughtless- hess, but most of the fatalities which have taken place on the big skeleton of what May some day be a completed building have had their origin in an endeavor to Fave to the centractors a few dollars. It cannot be alleged that work on the build- Ing has been rushed and that deaths have ensued as consequences of the hurrying Process; time enough has been consumed in the doing of what has been done to permit of the employment of all reasonable means for the preservation of the lives and limbs of the wage-earners who are constantly in peril. —_——_+ e+ ___ When Mayor Strong announces that he — have some fun with “Greater New York” it may deserve to be considered only as an expression of his views on reci- Procity. ——~++___. A Deliverance From Veragua. That dear creature, the Duke of Veragua, has been gossiping again; this time about the somewhat disturbed relations between Epain and the United States because of the Cuban revolution. It will, of course, be remembered that the Duke of Veragua visited this country during the Columbian celebration, and was made much of de- cause he is a lineal descendant of Christo- pher Columbus, who, having discovered Cuba and some of the adjacent territory, cuts a figure in Spanish-American history. Just how much light the duke was ex- Pected to throw on the situation does not Sppear, but it is recorded that a newspaper correspondent was accorded an interview with “His Grace” at No. 9 Calle San Mateo, Madrid, which the same is the duke's resi- dence when he is not visiting his friends. The correspondent assures us that “con- trary to the American idea of such inter- views, there was nothing stilted or formal about the whole affair. On the contrary, His Grace was affability itself.” How de- lightful. An informal conversation “beside gn antique table,” with probably nothing between the two parties except the ducal headgear through the medium of which His Grace imparts his views on matters of great import. After denouncing the suspended action of Congress as “the insult of the century” the duke comforted himself by saying that “even though war should come between Spain and the United States, and even were it possible that, as a result, the Spanish nation should be wiped off the face of the earth, still the name of Spain would never be forgotten, but would go down through history revered and respected as long as there were such a place as America, with the benign shadow of a Columbus upon it I do not believe that even the American Senators had forgotten in the excitement of the moment what their nation owes to Spain.” The duke’s argument is an extra- ordinary one, and as absurd as it is ex- traordinary. America does not owe Spain anything. Spanish greed resulted in the rediscovery of this continent, and Spanish greed was repaid a millionfold for all it invested. What America is it became in spite of, and not with the assistance of, Spain. At no period in our history have Spanish influences worked in any other way than to retard the progress of true civilization. We who have been reading of Spanish atrocities in Cuba—invariably denied by the Spanish authorities—will hardly be sur- prised to find the duke a defender of Wey- lerism. He says “‘it is unjust to think that the malefactors and half-civilized forces led by Maceo should be considered in the same light as Spanish troops. The Spanish soldiers sent to Cuba are disciplined, and, as a rule, educated men. To suppress the insurrection vigorous methods must be used. General Weyler proclaims this idea.” Recognition of insurgent belligerency is, of course, impossible, ,because the insur- gents have not, so His Grace declares, any organized army or seaport or effective ad- ministration of any kind; but Veragua makes no effort to explain Spanish ina- bility to crush the rebellion or even to pre- vent the landing of munitions of war on the tsland. The duke is much too sensitive as to some matters and not sensitive enough as to others. If the scheme to pension him for fe with American dollars had ever amounted to anything he would have had less to say about “‘the insult of the cen- tury.”” —___+ +e ____ A Southern Exposition Here. The fairly tangible proposition to locate here a Southern memorial building which shall be at once a museum and an exposi- tion will be greeted cordially. As a mere matter of business—leaving all sentiment cut of the question—every state in the Union should have here a satisfactory con- tribution to a permanent exposition. Washington is the place—the only place— for such an array of exhibits; it is the seat of government and the one spot where Americans meet cn common ground. If the southefn project is successful, it will not be long before other sections put in an appearance and representation. —_~-=___ There fs little importance attached to the rumor that Mr. Bayard will resign and re- turn to his home in Delaware. The idea that he could be happy anywhere out of England seems to involve an unwarranted stretch of the probabilities. —_+++____ Only one hundred and twenty men com- pleted their day’s work on the city post- offics building today. There would have been one hundred and twenty-one, but the failure of the iron-contractor to do his duty reduced the number by one. ———_~+++____ The manner in which two parts of the Spanish forces came together and, through a misapprehension tried to demolish each other suggests a certain danger in having too many Salvation Armies. ————_-+e____ Mr. Raines is not pleased with the arrange- ments for the enforcement of New York's new excise law. He should cheer up and reflect that a man cannot be held respon- sible for a mere namesake. The hopes of a number of presidential aspirants seem to depend on the successful execution of some very thrilling feats of dcrk horsemanship. —___+-<+____ Plunger Pardridge announces that he will give up operations on the Board of -Trade. It is a little late in the year for New Year resolutions. ———_- +e _____ King Menelek is not only a very effective modern fighter, but he is thoroughly posted on the c. o. d. system of doing business. —__+++___ SHOOTING STARS.

"Midst all these joyous lays of Spring, ’Tis proper here to beg, You'll not o’erlook the humble hen Who lays the Easter egg. _ Anxious to Get Rid of It. “I have noticed that there is one human weakness,” said Mr. Cumrox, “that women never carry with them all the way through Lent.

From the New York World, London Correspondence. Has this little mot been printed at home? According to a floating paragraph here, the little King of Spain was being catechized upon the mottoes of different countries. He got as far as England, and promptly re- cited, “Dieu et mon Droit,” and then ab- ruptly asked, ‘What is the motto of Amer- ica?” Count Z—, who happened to be in the room at the time, answered, “Dieu et Mon roe.” Oficial Inconsistency.
