The Labor League and the pres,den,

WASHINGTON, April 26 "A dele CATION,
white and black, OF the Labor League OF
the United States called on the President
to day, and read an address requesting
him to embody IN his message TO Con-
gress q recommendation for the appro-
priation of money for internal improve.
ments, to give employment to the idle
lsborer, and also TO recommend the re-
storation of suffrage in the District of
Columbia, and the payment Of the 10000
workirgmen defrsuded by contractors
under the Board OF Public Works. The
President in reply said: This speech is
so voiuminous and the topics so numerous
that l would not undertake in uncon-
sitered and off.handed sentences to ex-
press opinions in regard to It. Some of
the statements of iacts, perhaps, deserve
q good deal OF consideration. Certainly,
if there are twenty thousand men in this
district out of employment or that
number of men to whom the government
owes money, it ought to be pad, and
Congress would be very derelict in its
duty ii it is not done. IS for the gem
erai expression of good will you express,
| appreciate it, and return my
thanks very fully. Perhaps this is
all l desire to say on the subject without
further consideration. The rights of all
citizens are precisely equal before the
law, and our courts and executive de-
partment must see that these equal rights
are maintained, with such assistance as
Congress, and above all the people, can
give them. The right of suffrage in this
District is not question 1 have given
any consideration to. The tact is that
during the administrations of Washing
ton, jefferson and Madison and earlier
Presidents, suffrage was vested in the
people of this district with regard to local
affairs, but none Ms to general affairs.
There have been various changes from
that time to the present. Here Chair
man Lodnett, oi the delegation, inter.
upted with the query Ms to what the
President thought Of that order of
thirgs rs Americas prlTciple
The Pres ldeDt-W will not discuss it.
1t is enough to say that what you desire
on that subject is within the power Of
Congress to grant; it is not within the
power OF the Executive This, OF course,
is a very large question, and is to be
considered IN accordance with the
wishes OF the people. l do not know
what the feelings OF the people are on this
question. L: not for me to lay down
rules for the dicsion OF questions OF this
sort. 1t is safe TO leave them to the
great body o. the people. If the phople
a. tc hau SiiG-
frage in this District l shall not inter-
iere with them, aud should no. veto, but
would sign any bill on that subject.

The Times in reviewing Won Moltke's
speech in the German Parliament or
Tuesday says: Gen. Won Moltke feels
rs we all feel, bow easy it would be to
extend the area OF the war 20
as to include 3 majority Of the European
powers. We have been told again
and again, that il the peace is once
broken we should enter upon war
Of which no man could zee the end. The
German government know this, and they
desire to prepare for the worst, while
hoping for the best. We regret this
policy, because they we're apparently
perfectly prepared before, and because
preparations in critical times excite coun-
ter preparations; jealousy excites jealousy
until we bring upon Us what We would
prevent by our very anxiety TO prevent.
But we do not interpret the speech n
meaning anything more than the reso-
luton OF strong man. armed, to hold
his own in pesce. The Fm,s also says:
Won Moltke's speech dones not deprive
us of the hope that the present war will
remain localized, but IL Is q sore provo.
