THE CABINET ON THE LABOR
QUESTION.

Dispatches from Washington state
that the President will devote O eoodly
portion of his message to Congress to
the labor question. The subject has
beeu discussed at length by the Cabi-
net. which, it appears, has decided that
Congress has the right to legislate for
labor and capital under the clause in
the Constitution authorizing that body
to regulate commerce among the sever
al States. 1t is gratifying to working
men to learn that Congress may legis-
late for their interests. For the last
twelve years there is no evidence in
the acts passed by that body that labor
had any rights which capital was
bound to respect. Every member, the
moment his election was insured, fac.
cied himself the special champion of
capital, and acted more like the paid
attorney of corporations than a repre-
sentative of the whole people. The re-
cent conflicts between labor and capital
has called the attention of the Admin
istration to the fact that there are
workipgmen in the United States who
demand sufficient wages in exchange
for their labor to maintain themselves
and their families, ard that their de-
inands in this respect are entitled to
consideration. Surely the law-making
power of the country, which has created
and enriched thousand Of corporations
in few years, can devise some method
to enable men who are obliged to work
for those corporations to avoid the ne
cessity of choosing between striking
and starving.

EASTERN DISPATCHES
The Administration on the Labor
Question.

WARRINGTON, aug. U.
A good portion of the Presidents
message upon the reassembling of Con-
gress will be devoted to the considera.
ton of the labor question. 1t is known
that at several Cabinet meetings held
within the past week this subject has
been discussed. Several members of
the Cabinet are known to favor the
passage of law providing for the
organization of a Commission, which
shall have due regard for interests of
all concerned-producers, merchants,
railroad employees and capitalists-so
that on any question fair compromise
can be effected. A member of the Cab
met in recent conversation spoke Of
this plan, and argued that Congress
had the right to pass such law under
the clause of the Constitution authoriz-
ing that body to regulate commerce
with foreign nations and among the sew.
eral States and with Indian tribes.
Such Commission might be vested
with power to examine into the desira-
bility Of chartering new railroads and
require certain conditions to be full
filled, 80 as to establish to reasonable
certainty that q projected road would
be remunerative, and that the company
would have means to pay for its con-
structica, and thus avoid disastrous
failure.

Condition Of the United states ArsenaIs-
Report of Army Officers

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-Gen. Bennett, chief Of
ordnance, with his own rep 1rt submitted u re-
port OF q board Of army officers appointed un-
der an act Of Congress for the purpose of ex-
amining the condition Of the United States
Arsenals east Of the Mississippi. and to report
how many Of them can be- sold without inter-
ferlng with the interests Of the military service
and to estimate the amount that can be realized
from the sale Of each, whenever such sale shall
be directed by Congress.
!, The General says the report is submit d in
the hope that some final action will be taken
by Congress to carry out its recommendations
which have received the strongest indoraemen
OF this office and the approval of the War De-
partment. Besides the national armory, we
have II arsenals and the proving ground at
Sandy Hook, or 10 separate and distinct estab-
lshments. scattered from Mai g to Oregon.
Within the past few years II small arsenals have
been dispo ed Of either by sale or transfer to
the line Of the army. The number ought to be
still further reduced. to reach purely work
ing condition Of the department, IN which the
maximum results can be Obtained at the mini
mum cost. The conclusions of the board are
ardently recommended for favorable cor slider
alton. The country needs only few manufae-
turing establishments and depot9 of supplies
to ful1 lall conditions and meet all demands.

st. Charles Theatre,

The opening night Of the st. Charles with
Oallender's Georgia Minstrels W .s marked by q
very large audience, the upper tiers being crowd
ed as they have seldom ever been before, and the
reception Of our new visitors must have been
gratifying indeed to them, for every
one of their acts was received with
marked enthusiasm. The company is composed
of colored men Of all shades, from the quadroon
to the coal black dsrkey, Of which last color are
the four end men, Ksrsand, Deyonear, Jim Grace
a 1d Dick Little Billy Kersand is certainly an
artist in his line, and will compare favorsbly in
every respect with the best delinea-
tors Of negro character in the country. His
son, little moke of twelve, is already q
good comedian and dances snd sings like the best
OF them. The company possesses several very
good singers and the concert part of their en-
tertanment deserved all the applause which was
bestowed upon it. As a whole we can recon-
mend the Georgia Minstrels even though after
first performance, to be superior to the majority
Of minstrel companies that have visited us.
These lines, written hastily, do not convey our
full appreciation of the entertaining qualities OF
the troupe, but we shall endeavor to do them
justice during their stay among us.
