The Labor QUESTION.

The following Is the full text of
President Cleveland's special mes
,age to Congress on the great labor
problem just now agitating The ma
ton:
The constitution imposes on the
president the duty of recommending
to the consideration of congress. from
ima to time. such measures as he
shall Judge necessary and expedient.
I am so deeply impressed with the
Importance of immediately and
thOUEhtfully meeting the problem
which recent events and present con
fiti0ns have developed, and the set
yleuent of disputes arising between
our iaboring men and their employ
ers. that | am constrained TO recon-
mend to congress legislation on this
serious and pressing subject. Under
or form Of government the value of
labor as an element of national pros
.perity should be distinctly recognized
aud the welfare OF the laboring man
should be regarded as especially ell
titled To Legislative care III country
which offers to all its citizens the
highest aim of social and political
distinction. Its workingmen cannot
justly OF safely lac considered as un-
reasonably consigned to the limits of
acts and entitled to no attention and
allowed no protest against neglect.
The laboring men, bearing in their
hands an Indispensable contribution
10 our growth and progress, may all
insist with manly courage and right
upon the same recognition FROM those
who make our laws as IS accorded to
any other citizen having valuable in
terests, and should be met in such d
spirit Of appreciation and fairness as
to induce contented

In tracing The Developments of the English

world at large. And II no one began to follow the
teachings of Christ In this simple direct way. he
considered the world might go indefinitely stray
ing further and further from the truth ana
becoming more desperately entangled In Its own
fsllaoies. There is or seems to be radical defect
in the authors reasoning at one point lie declares
lis belief that the fulhIment OF Chrsps doctrine
las TO the ordering of life, rs easy. possible. and
conducive TO ppiness" But he does not make this
saying less hard by showing wherein the facility
and feasibility consist. Clearly realizing the OPP
position of the state to doctrines which disapieu
their followers from the performance or CIVIC ou-
ties, he commends martyrdom whion ne docs uo'
shrink from avowing will follow any serious at

goes INTO detail and undertakes to show the effect
upon the state of the primitive practice he IS driven
to bring up all the arguments which since inc
foundation Of Christianity have been employed to
prove the lmpracticability of the scheme OF Ohrls
tan Socialism.
II IL a pity, for the initial idea Is noble and
the 1nspirinc motive is unsefsh aud pure. Moth
ing can be sadder or more discouraging than the
collapse of such sanguine aspirations before the
cold breath of experience. Inherent In humanity

teresting as showing the reversion of a man OF the
world to primitive Christianity. But IL IS i'm
possible. In reading it, not to feel that the ex-
pertinent attempted by the author is doomed to
failure. while IL equally diffcdlt to escape tho
conviction that by maintaining n closer rapport

N. Munkacsy appeared In public for the fire, time
here yesterday aftornoon at the private view 10 the
press Of his painting, "Chrlst Before Plate" lie IL
remarkably tall and thin, with something OF the ap-
pcarauce and manners OF Roscsc ConSilng, though
without Conkllng's self-consclousuess. Something
In the artists looks led me to think that In painting
the tall and spare Christ whom he has made the
central figure OF his great picture, he was, uncon-
scousy perhaps, standing rs his own model for the
figure, though not OF the face.
The painting is certainly very impressive one.
To the least religious 1t has an awe.inspiring innu-
ence, and one cannot but feel depressed on gazing
upon the sad face Of Christ here depicted. Ii Ia
the face of the Man. not the God, and instantly cre-
ates sympathy, II not veneratlon. The artist has
dIsdaned as beneath his talents the theatrical ad.
junct of the halo usually employed by the old mas
ters and has painted head realistic and natural
Another feature s that most Of the characters are In
repose yet the effect OF strong action ia produced
There are forty life-szed figures In the work, and
each face expresses in natural and unexaggerated
style some Of the human passions which such q
scene must have aroused In each OF the persons
present. Zach figure and face is In itself separate
study, and, as Mr.. Munkacsy claims. must have
been made a special study from living models. The
figures Of PLATE and the High Priest, Caphas, are
quite as remarkable as that Of Christ, and fully n
much work and study must have been expended
| upon them.
The owner OF the picture, Mr.. Charles Sedelmeyer
is the leading art dealer and publisher Of Paris II,
has been for long time the friend N. do Munkacsy
and receives from him all his productions. Nc
other gentleman Of Europe, probably, is so well in
formed concerning ancient and modern schools o
art as Mr.. Sedemeyer. His collection OF works O.
the old masters is more important than any other
exlstence-except those to be found IN some OF tn,
royal galleries and national museum 8.
Mr.. Sedelmeyer Is now In New York, and will per
sonally supernted the exhibition OF the picture as
sisted by his son-ln-law, Mr.. Eugene FlschoH; the
latter's brother, Mr.. Alfred Fischor, and by Mr.

The change of the equipment of policemen
from the old fashioned club TO canes must
be the work of some busybody. 1t is always
fair to presume that what is sanctioned by
long and general use has reason in its favor,
and to throw aside well tried and suitable
weapon like the polceman's club and give
him cane in its place looks like yielding to
the itch for change for the sake OF mere
novelty. "Let we'll enough alone" would
be good motto to impress upon all public
officers who are novices in their new duties.

There is seldom such unarimity among

trct as there has been expressed in regard
10 the police scandal.
The Sunday herald., 1886-11-21

The high winds of this season render con-
spicuous the alarming increase OF hanging and
swinging signs along the principal streets.
They are of heavy wood or the sharpest iron,
and many OF them seem to be very insecure.
There is no excuse whatever for their exist
ence, and if they were all prohibited by law
merchants would still stand on an exactly
equal footing among themselves in attracting
custom, and would be saved a foolish ex-
penditure. The streets are intended as safe
and unimpeded ways for the people, and
are certainly not meant to be pre.empted
above or on the ground for advertising pur-
poses. The swinging signs ought TO go.
