The Natioaal Federation of Labor Unions
of Washington City has issued an address TO
the Trades Unions and workmen OF the
United States on the subject of the appoint
ment by the United States Senate of a COM
mittee to investigate the existing relations
between capital and labor, which, it says, al
lords golden oppo rtunity to workingmen.
IL recommends, 10 case the committees report
Fail TO do reasonable Justice to the laborer,"
that there should be instituted ga national
strike of labor in all its branches, extending
from the center TO the circumference of this
vast continent" strike ''tbat will not be
put down by the bludgeons of hired police
men nor the nercenary power OF bayoneted
military" This sentence shows the hand
of the European demagogne in every word.
No American ever wrote such "rot."
Military men who are already bayoneted
would not be very formidable adversaries.
AiterWard comes the following Strocious
sentence: "a little healthful exercise in
drilling at regular meetings would prepare
the whole body 10 meet any emergency and
indicate Enthusiastically that labor is now in
earnest" Our Workingmen are too intelli-
gent generally TO be misled by such over
fowings from a London "publie-house" o
from the Montmartre of Paris as this, but I'M
fortunately such atrocious utterauces are
welcome instruments in the hands OF the OPP
ponents Of the cause of labor.

The earth is now entering that part of her
orbit in which she incurs the greatest liabil-
ity to encounters with meteor streams eircu-
iating round the sun. The meteoric displays
OF November, when they occur, are far more
brilliant than those now due, but the periodic
display from the 9th to the 11th of August
is a more certain phenomeon. The annual
periodicity of the August star stream, ire
