THE WAsnINGToN Centennial Com

the arrangements for the Centennial
Celebration of Washington's inaugu-
ration in New York, on the Both of
April, 1889, is composed of some of
the leading men of the city, with
Hamilton Fish as president. The To-
cal exercises will no doubt be of bril-
liant character, and to give the occa-
sion its crowning completeness the
committee will probably see to it that
New York takes her proper military

the correspondent of the st. Louis
Republican the other day and showing
how 'he made the workingmen un-
derstand that they were being un-
justly taxed under the protective
tariff" For instance, he says, "the
workman and his wife go out Satur-

PRESIDENT SIMMONS of the School
Board of the city of New York is not
an enthusiast on the subject of man
ual training, and believes it better to
follow than lead in this direction. 1t
may in time be found expedient to
make the changes proposed and mod
ify the existing system, but he would
prefer to have the experiment first
tried elsewhere. The educational
machinery of the metropolis is on too
vast and complicated scale to be
subjected to any unnecessary risks,
such as an almost revolutionary move
ment would involve. His idea is, and
under the circumstances is perhaps
the wiser, to build more school-houses,
and rs to courses of study, let well
enough alone.

WASHINGTON. JAN. 1a. 1883.
A CoLn SNAP.

The mercury in the Winnipeg
thermometers has gone down to fifty
degrees below zero mark, which is
the coolest weather the province has
experienced in years. But that's
nothing TO the cold snap in Pennsyl-
vania, where the mining and trans
portation of coal have come to u stand
still in midwinter.
The great difference is, and a diff
ference of which the people should
note the sharp significance, that in
the one case the suffering entailed is
the result of natural phenomena.
In the other it is the outgrowth of un-
natural conditions. The act of God
is one thing Of which no rational man
complains. The act of corporations
and monopoles, without souls, con
testing with the labor that does their
bidding for pittance is quite another.
1t may be that in the case of the
Reading strike the employees have
acted inadvisedly and without proper
forethought, but it is next to incon-
ceivable that they should have wan
tonly precipitated crisis that was
certain to involve hundreds of thou
sands of poor men and women, outside
of their own organizations, in its dis
astrous consequences.
II is also inconceivable that the cor
porations interested, had they been
SO disposed, might not have effected
arrangements with their disaffected
employees long before this by which
to avert the existing state of affairs,
or at least to tide the controversy over
until the inclemencies of the winter
were passed.
Was it not their duty to have done
SO, even at some temporary sacrifice
to themselves? There is no principle
at stake so vital but that its vindica-
ton could be postponed for q few
weeks.
Railroad companies and coal COM
panies have no moral right to stand
in the way of arbitration, when arbi-
tration is desired, in an emergency
like the present. They owe some
thing to the general public off which
they fatten, as well as TO the men who
run their trains and work their mines
for bare subsistence.
The difficulty is owe that cannot
readily be reached by legislation, as
previous efforts in this direction have
demonstrated, but sooner or later a
way will be found through the su-
preme will of the people to compel
capital and labor both to keep the
peace, especially in the season of
SHOWS and storms and Manitoban
temperatures.

PARTIAL COOPERATION
Proposed by Rathbonc, Sard g. Co., to
Their EMPLOYEE

ALBANY, \. Y, Jan. 14.-Rathbone,
Ssrd e. Co, one of the biggest stove manu-
featuring firms in the country, made a
proposition to their men TO 20 into par tial
cooperation for the next year. The men
have not yet acted on the proposition, but
they are inclined to accept it. At present
part of the works are closed for an inven-
tory. If the men accept the proposition il
will go into effect at once. One of the
member of the firm said:
ut is well known that in 1855 our en-
ployes suffered greatly from the effects of
prolonged strike. In 1886 there was an
other strike. Ia 1887 we paid in wages $7O,-
600 less than in the preceding years not
wiihstanding the fact that the men were
working at an advance of about 10 per
cent over wages in previous years. Desir-
ous TO have matters run along smoothly be-
tween our employees aud ourselves, a meet
ing of the molders was called for confer
ence with u.s. that we might exchange views
on plans for the coming year.
'Our proposal is that there should be no
advance or reduction Of the wages paid last
Fall. which we're acceptable TO all the en-
ployes; there shall be no lockouts or strikes;
no discrimination shall be made against
any man because he is a member OF any
organization, and all minor grievances shall
be referred TO shop committee. Ten per
cent. of the wages of the men shall be re-
tanned until the end OF the year to insure
the fulfillment OF this agreement. If the
employees enter into a strike within that
time the amount retained shall be forfeited
pv them. and If the firm make lockout
they are TO pay each molder an amour,
