On the Labor Dllhcultlea--A Government
Commission Proposed.
WASHINGTON, D. O., April 22.-The
President to-day sent the following mes,
sage to Congress on the subject Of labor
troubles;
10 Ae Ssnate and House Of Representatives:
The constitution imposes on the Presi-
dent the duty OF recommending the con.
sideration OF Congress from time 10 time
such measures as he ahRll judge necessary
and expedient, and 50 deeply impressed
with the Importance Of Immediately,
thoroughly and fully meeting the prob.
lem which recent events and the present
condition have thrust upon US, involving
the settlement Of disputes arislng between
our laboring men and their employers
that / atn constrained to re.
commend 10 Congress legislation
upon the serious and pressing
subject. Under our form Of Government
the value OF labor Rs an element oI
national prosperity should be distinctly
recognized and the welfare OF the laboring
man should be regarded as especially en-
titled to legislative care. In a country
which Offers 10 all Of It's citizens the high.
est attainment Of social and political dis.
tinCtion workmen cannot Justly or safely be
considered as consigned 10 the limits Of q
class, and entitled TO no attention and
allowed no protest against neglect.

The laboring man, bearing in his hand
an indispensable condition TO our growth
and progress, may we'll insist with manly
courage and as right Upon the same rec,
oSnition from those who make our lawt
as is accorded 10 any other citizen having
valuable interest In charge, and biz
reasonable demand should be met In such
a spirit Of appreciation and fairness as Ia
induce cooperation In the achievement oi
q grand national destiny.
While the real interests Of labor are not
promoted by q resort 10 threats and
violent manifestations, and while those
who under the prstexs Of an advocacy Of
the claim Of labor, wantonly attack the
rights Of capital and for selfish purpose, OF
the love Of disorder SOW seeds Of violence
and discomfort, should neither be enCour.

La Belle Fatma.

Correspondence Boston Herald.
The Parisians are focking to the
Jardin de Paris, not to see the eccen-
trio dances that distinguish the spot,
but to behold acurious entertainment
STYLED the Concert Tuisien," and,
above all, a new celebrated "profes-
sional beauty" from Tunis, known rs
La Belle Fatma. The beautiful Fatma,
who has already created a sensation
at the Tuilleries Gardens fetes, is UNI
happily rather conscious of her power
Of attraction, and a ~superclllious
smile fingers upon her features, which
would be perfect were it not that the
lips Disclose the gums. She is, how
ever, a superb creature, tall and
admirably proportional. With sloe-
black eyes and a profusion OF ra-
ven hair, and in the Oriental costume
of rose-colored brocade and gold It's
sue, all her charms are heightened.
She dances to the accompaniment OF
the most fearful sounds, produced on
various instruments by a fat woman,
afat man, q negress, q white woman,
young and pretty-but not beautiful
enough to vie with the beautiful Fat
ma-and a eunich, whose presence
furnishes the Parisians with a text for
some extremely witty and audacious
remarks. These people with the ex-
eeption of the ponderous Tunisian,
Daniel Lambert, and the fat old wom-
en-Fatma's fat ma, as the Americans
promptly punned-each dance in turn
asort OF ecstatic rushing to and fro,
with a waving of handkercheifs, and
the eunich sings, while the Instruments
bray and resound in a strange, fantas-
TIC din. But thesunquestioned star is
fatma, who will not dance until acol-
lection has been made in addition to
the lee charged at the door Of the
booth, and who, after she has dazzled
US with gold and crimson raiment,
snow-white arms and breast, flashing
eyes and rubby lips. sits enthroned in
state between the fat old woman and
ehe lat old man, and keeps up a per-
Rretual concert with the tambourine,
iunls IN Parisl 1t f~ascinates the spec
sator and makes him feel as though he
nad dreamed that he had strayed
rom the everyday b~oulevards and the
oardln dc Paris, which is nothing If
not modern.
