LABOR AND CAPITAL
The President Mem0rislized to Cali an
Extra Session of Congress to Con.
sider the Relations
Between the Two Great Factors in the
COuntry's PrOgress-The Water
Grain Crops Capital Chat.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-A memorial hiss
been sent 10 the President by the president
and Board of Directors OF the Central Com
mttee on National Labor Legislation, peti
uouing that an extra session OF Congress be
called as early as practicable, for the purpose
OF considering The relations between labor
and capital. The memorialists claim to
represent the wage -workmen OF the United
States in the matter of promoting certain
legislation promised by the resolution OF
the Senate adopted IN 1882 They call the
attention OF The President to the fact that
nearly year has elapsed since the adoption
OF ihat resolution to investigate the relations
between capital and labor, and yet no report
on the sublect has been m sde by the com init
tee to which it was referred, nor ia there
any sign of remedial legislation. A form OF
investigation was gone through with, they
say, during II single week of the last session
Of Congress, but further time was asked by
the committee 10 enaole them to travel
over the country "snd continue what appears
to be useless expenditure OF time ard pub
lie money in collecting facts already well
known" They add: ut appears to your
memorialists an absurdity for committee
OF grave senators to go around the country
on a jurkeling feast, at the public expsnse,
TO gather cumulative testimony 10 support
OF evident facts patent TO all who read, and
1t is trihipg with the indignant feelings of
intelligent workmen, who are the aggrieved
parties" They request the President, there
fore, if he feels hampered by the conflicting
opinions OF his prlvy couucillors, Ito call
together the representatives Of the people
elected last fall" and submit TO their aojudi-
cation this problem of remedial legisl alton
in the interest Of oppressed wage-workmen.

THE New York FUening Post has done the
South good service by upm asking the villains
who used to defsme us in the matter of ku-
klux outrsges. For this we make due ac-
knowledgment. In a recent article on the
subject OF false testimony, the Post ssys:
"Mr. Harrison, who has been writing very
n,eresliug and instructive articles in
she Atlonic Monthly on the condition OF
Southern society, reports a visit to one oi the
concoci ors of the kuklux tales living in Ala
bama at present, He acknowledged, laugh
ingly, that his were mostly 6otiou', but insli-
Fl d them on the ground that they gave
Northern people fair idea Of the stste oi
things at the South-TItus Oates would have
justified and probably did justify his inven'
tions in the same way"

The Herald notes a "change of base" on
the tsrif question in the Sun, (which
shines for itself and S,m Rlndall" Hither-
to Sunny and the Sun have urged that
the next Congress shall uot deal with this
subject at all; but now the public is
favored with a new programme. What
is wanted, after al, is "a tariff for
revenue only; the tariff 10 be the cnly
source of revenue; the internal taxes to be
totally abolished" The same cry was raised
last fall by Pig-Iron Kelley nd his insane
followers. Abolish the internal taxes and
the tariff would have to be increased TO meet
the expenses of the government. The best
plan is to continue the tax on liquors and
tobacco, and repeal the tariff on srticles OF
prime necessity 10 the poor man. The Suns
new programme is as Objectionable as its old

The attention Of cur readers ia again
specially called 10 the interview by the
mayor of Pensacola with the mayor of
Brownsville, Tex, published 10 the APPEAL
Of yesterday. Reinforcing the statement Of
the political use or abuse OF the Marine
Hospital Service, as charged by the latter
official, we learn from the Saaitarian that
the $4,000 appropriated BY recent act of
Congress for the puIchsss OF marine hos
pitsl at Port Townsend, W. T., village OF
917 iuhabitsnis, was paid to 3 Sherman del
egate to the Chicago Convention, who from
that time to the grant of appropriation for
the purchase, has had the support Of the
the Treasury Department, "which, by ressou
of having in its service the Ma
rine Hospital S rvice has at all tim,s the
means at its command for effective service
of this nature" The absurGity Of main
tanning a marine hospital at this place is
apparent to anyone who will examine into it.
1t is a fraud upon the public treasury ard
the taxpayer, for the reward OF politician,
who has By. this means pocketed $4,000 for
an old baru-like building, said by those who
know not to b. worth more than $1,000 for
any purpose -sni for its pretended purpose
nothing at all. Such acts IS this illustrate
the utility OF the Marine Hospital Service to
the Treasury Department.
