Commissioner OF Labor Wright talks very sens-
by of his new wOrN, and Will have the support of
most people in his views He says he shall at once
start he work OF the bureau by organizing inqui-
ries pertaining TO labor AMI capital ana their mu-
tual relations by means Of representatives in each
state. He intends, in general. TO pursue the same
policy that has made the Office so successful in
Massachusetts. But he says very frankly, that to
do 50 viii requir" more money than Congress has
appropriated He needs fifty thousand dollars a
year, instead of twenty thousand, and If Congress
win not give him what he thinks necessary to the
efficiency Of the Office he will throw UP the APP
pOintment ard go back TO Massachusetts,. Il am
determined, too he says. THAT we shall not be
stuck In any out-of-the-way place back streets.
When a lahOrng man comes 10 Washington ON
business connected with the national bureau, /
want him To find an Office equal in character and
dignity To any under the government. I have not.
nor shall i. resign my position in MaSsachu-
sets until see what Congress proposes TO do for
US want TO know whether they mean business,
or whether tile creation of this bureau is merely
Sop to the labOring men to satisfy them for the
time being. III the former, shall remain, and do
my best TO make it a practical success. III not,
shall return To Boston and resume my former du-
ties"
This is plain talk from a businessman, and Con-
gresS might well toe the mark.
The democrats have paralyzed state Senator
out In Illinois, who cannot even resign to help them
out OF their legislative deadlock. One of their at
tempts was To place alphabetical blocks before him,
hoping he would De able TO spell out a resignation
by means OF them. But the scheme failed. The
democrats should get Count OF Monte Christie from
circulating library and read how one of the char
aeterS In that romance, who was paralyZed up to
his eyes, managed to communicate his wishes by an
alphabet OF winks.
We now know all the agonles of fame by news
paper pictures. THE STAR Office fire has been pic
torially representa- in The Graphic. The picture
Is worse than the fire.
switzerland is q Spunky little republic. and
doesn't propose TO have any dynamite Outrages in
from all over Europe, so long as they behave them
selves. 4 few days ago threat was made to de-
strOy the federal palace and the council at Berne
unless that body should enact certain legislation
bearing on anarchists. The communication was
received by the council when in session, and in
twenty minutes a joint resolution was passed COM
handing the officers of the law throughout the re-
public TO expel from Swiss soil every man and
woman fairly shown to be an anarchist, and ten
men have already been escorted 10 the border.
Phelan on one couch and Rosa On another In the
same hospital, large store in ruins a communist
mob broken up and one its leaders in jail; this is
one days results OF the dynamite argument in its
varying forms. And is anything settled? Is there
not more bitter feeling more hostility, dam
ger,than before? 1t makes little difference on
which side the latest outrage happens to occur
