| WASHINGTON, December Is In the dis
cussion yesterday in the lower house OF
| congress, Mr.. HOsr said that the PROPOSE
ton contemplating the relief OF lsboring
men, would be fairly considered and sp-
proved. There is q cry Of discontent from
| The lRboring clssses. In this country
these are the State. There is no nobility.
IMr. HOsr forgot the bondholders and
national bankers snd shOddy He said
that congress ought not TO fear tie light,
or to take hold OF this question. Lst the
sick, be said, be brought into the sun
light, and they would get well He did
not place the bill on the Judgment or re-
commendstion Of the committee alone
/ The slight expenditure proposed Wss due
70 the Judgment OF lsbOring men them
selves. The labor psrty of his own State
last summer had recommended the pass
age Of this very bill, and had. slthougb
politically opposed to the Republican
party, expressed its qualification and re-
| spect Tor that party in consequence Of its
giving attention TO this matter.
The grand international association of
workingmsn, an organization which per-
vsded Europe, Rnd which wBs making its
voice hesrd snd its power felt every
where, hsd also asked of congress for this
special measure. He was not competent
to express an opinion on the interesting
story told In the petition of the commune,
Ofevents which took place in Paris last
summer, the other side of the story hsd
not bssn heard. t. this fact the APPEAL
has ofsen sdverted But one thing was
known, that there wss q cause in exis-
tsncs and an objection even, which had
led those working people in Paris-young
men and young women in the morn
ing of hfe-nOt merely from the ig-
norsnt or oppressed classes, but from
classes Of culture, OF family ties, and, in
\ a fksaauH
deaths calmly, herOicslly, cheerfully IS
ever q bridegroom went to his marriage
feAstg and he did not believe that the
cause which had inspired such her0ism
was q cause which WIS not entitled to the
respect Of Americans. Everywhere the
international association Of Europesn and
American workingmen had title TO re-
spect for having established relationship
and recognized q kindred among sll ma
tions.
Mr.. Dawes expressed surprise that
Messra. Kerr and Wood should bsve
raised objections 70 the bill, and that they
bad not bad their attention called to the
tset that no sub set was looming up In
the near future that demanded more care
from legislators than the questions Of re-
constructing labor and capital. He hoped
that his friend from Indiana, Mr.. Kerr,
would Withdraw the motion to lsy the
bill on the table, and either consent to
having q single day set apart for its con-
siderstion, or else permit its passage at
this time.
Mr.. Kelly, Of Pennsylvsnis, thought
that congress should suthorizs the ap-
pointment Of the proposed commission
ers. This government could not stford TO
TO permit lsboring people in any portion
Of the country TO fall into the condition
Of the lsboring people Of England, France
or Belgium. Congress should look to 1t
that they, whose skill and toll open the
mines snd coal banks, and convert the
ores into metals and into all the forms of
utility and besuty-those who shear
sheep, and wash wool, and spin, and
weave it-those who convert cotton into
sll its useful and beeutiful fabrics-shsn
NOT live in ignorance or die in want.
Thar tai. sud resources, snd capital, were
ouits enough 20 hsnish poverty from the
land, except ss the result OF intemper-
anee.
The morning hour having expired, the
debate wss closed.
NEW YORK, December IS AT the meet
ing Of the Internationalists last evening,
an address was adopted declaring that the
case of the working classes, who have
always fought for the liberties OF the
down -troddsn, is the cause OF interns-
tionalism. Resolutions were offered de-
clsring sympathy with the Cubans, and
dsnouneing the administration for its
attitude on the Cuban question.
At the meeting Of the police commis-
sioners yesterday, wherest the order pro-
hibiting the Internstionslist procession
was rescinded, Judge Basworth, in 3
speech, said thst the action Of the police
Wss legal, but a. the community had
taken the opposite view, the order ought
to be rescided.
Mayor Hall offered = draft OF the pro-
posed bill regulating PROFESSIONS.
