lIIE press OF the country is
very generally in favor OF
changing Inauguration day
from March 1. which is apt to
be attended by uncomfortable
weather. to some other date.
The Soth Of April is suggest
ed, because it is the day on
which Washington, the first
President, was by force of cir
cumstanccs inauguratcd; but
even that date, though an i'm
provemcnt on March, !, would
not be likely to insure stable
weather. The Inauguration,
as we understand it. is a spon.
taneous popular dcmonstra-
ton not contemplated or au-
thorizcd by any law but it is
growing TO be every four years
more and more popular, and
has become a fixed custom
stronger than law. President
Harrison, in the opening lines
of his inaugural address, de,
livcred after he had taken the
oath of office, referred to the
fact that there was no require.
mcnt that this act should be
done in public, though he re-
cognizcd the appropriateness
of doing so, as it brought the
people and their chosen exc
cutivc into the position Of par
ties To a contract under solemn
and impressive circumstances.
To change the date OF taking
the oath and entry upon the
duties of office, would perhaps
ncccssitatc other changes, bu,
if in SO doing the comfort OF
the people is consulted, all the
changes necessary To accom-
plish the end ought to be
made. Er.

HERE have been very few
Presidents in the past so years
that have not had one or more
practical printers in their cabi.
net. The venerable Simon
Cameron, of Pennsylvania,
who celebrated his nintictf,
birthday recently, and whose
hold upon the political rcins
of his state has been phcnomc-
nal, was one of the first after
the time of Benjamin Frank
lin, the printcr-statcsman. Mr..
Daniel Manning. fondly re.
membercd as the wise and
clear-headed Secretary of the
Treasury, worked himself up
the ladder Of fame from the
humble position of a printer $
devil, - James G.. Blaine the
present Secretary OF State be-
gan life the same way, and
President Harrison's private
Secretary was in the harness
up to the day of his appoint
ment as also was Daniel La
mont. We might fill a column
with such names but it is not
our intention to over-praise
the members of the craft, but
simply to call attention to the
fact that there have Lccn
more printers holding posi-
tons OF great trust under our
government than men of any.
other calling. The followers OF
Ben. Franklin and members
of the legal fraternity are far
in the majority in our prcscn,

The SaC5onal Capital

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The japanese
minister received a telegram Monday from
the minister of foreign affairs of Japan
saying the constitution of the empire was
proclaimed by the emperor in person this
morning amid great enthusiasm.
THE president has approved the act ex-
tending the privileges of inland trans
portation in bond to the port OF Sault
Ste. Marie: the act for the relief of the
town of Flagstaff, A. t.; the act author
izing the Choctaw Coal and Railway COM
pany TO construct railroad through the
Indian Territory, and the act for public
building at Sedalia, Mo.
" WAsRINGToN-It said, at the
state d; partment, that there is not the
slightest wish or desire on the part of
the presid ent or Secretary Bayard to
embarrass the incoming administration
with respect to the Samoan policy. It is
not at all likely that the present admin
istration will arrogate to itself the Sc
lection of an American representative at
the proposed conference at Berlin, or
that it will take any action, whatever,
which might tend to commit the next
administration.

A GENEROUS WOMAN.
The Duchess de Galliera, Who Gives Away
Millions Upon Millions of Dollars.

The Duchess de Galliera, Who Gives Away
Millions Upon Millions of Dollars.
The Duchess de Galliera, who died Sun
day night at her historical mansion in
the Faubourg st. German, says Paris
dispatch to the London Telegraph, was
as large-hearted and open. handed as the
late Nine. BouciUault, though perhaps
less judiciops in the use she made of one
of the largest fortunes of this age. The
late Duke of Galiiera was one of the CON
tinental railway kings, and keen and
venturesome Spectator. He died leav-
ing personality in France alone amount
ing to eli 100000, and in Italy over
100000. The Univers gives the fol-
lowing list of her we'll known deeds of
charity: Four hundred pounds year to
the poor of the seventh reimbursement;
$500 pounds a year to the ptor of all
Paris; $3.50 a year TO the poor of her
own parish; for the Brignole Gallierq ru-
scum, near the Trocadero, e250, 900; for
the creation Of an orphanage at Mendon,
ae56O,000; for the support of that insti-
tuition, 100000 pounds; for the building
of three working class lodging houses in
Paris, $4,000; TO deepen the port of
Genoa she gave e34O,OOO; to the present
pope, 100000; to build two hospitals,
e380,O00. Besides the above donations
she gave Genoa the palace called the
Palszzb Rosa, with IFS art furniture and
pictures, com prislng collection of an
cestral portraits by Rubens and Vandy Ike.
The gift or a palace and estate at Bo-
logna to the Due de Montpensier can
hardly be called charity. Her last great
benefactions were the founding of two
asylums, one for 200 old men and 100
old women, and another for Christian
brothers too old or broken down in health
TO teach. 1t was at the opening of the
former at which she caught cold, which,
degenerating into inflammation OF the
lungs, killed her. How she dis posed of
the remnant of her vast fortune is not
yet known, The duchess had an idea
that she was insulting the poor to ask
them to live in meaDlg constIuc aims
houses. She therefore created palaces
for them.

A LESSON FOR STRIKERS.

The recent New York street railway
strike, which cost the employees OF the
company over 100000 loss in wages
alone in a few days, and lost many of
them satisfactory labor and wages, was
dictated by men who have little or no in
terest in labor beyond living without
labor at the expense of wage workers. 1t
is this only too common denomination of
demagogues or incompetents in labor Or
CARNATIONS that has brought such associ-
stions into disrepute, and that has made
employers less willing each year to treat
with, or entertain any propositions COM
ing from any other than their own work
men. The New York strike was fortu-
nately settled speedily by the deluded
workingmen in utter contempt of the as
sumed authority of the executive board
of the Knights of Labor, and the strik-
ers are returning to work with the pledge
that they will hereafter refuse obedience
orders from paid idiers who order
strikes chiefly to assert their diplomatic
authority. This will be q most unfavor-
able year for strikers. There may be
occasions of special oppression when
strikes will be iustifable; but the sudden
collapse of the New York strike in def
ance of the authority that ordered If, is
significant finger board for labor or
PLANTATIONS 1t means that such strikes
will be welcomed in many Industries
simply to end, once aud for all, the arbi-
trary powers of idle labor Officials. The
relations between all intelligent employ es
and all fair minded em ployers will always
be such that frank complaint on either
side must bring manly conference and
substantial Justice; but when com plants
come from outside i5lers, who live by in
venting and magnifying labor disputes,
employers can pay little respect to them.
Labor organizations are now undergoing
a crucial test of their powers 10 serve the
interests of wage workers, and the less
authority that is given or exercised by
outside officials, the more will organized
labor accomplish for its membership.
