LONDON, Feb. II BY cable to the New

ten the following letter to Richard Fleisch-
er, editor of the De,HSche Rcpuc, by whom
he was asked to give his opinion on the
Emperor's action in summoning a confer

ARcnBIsHoP's HOUSE,
WESTMINSTER, Feb. TO- $780, (
SIR-You asked me what [ think of the
invitation Of the Emperor of Germany to
the European powers to meet in conference
on the subject of labor, and the state of the
millions in every country who live by the
wages of labor. I think this imperial act
the wisest and worthiest that has pro-
ceeded from any sovereign of our time.
The condition of the wage earning peo-
pie of every European country is grave
danger to every European state. The
hours OF labor, the employment of women
and children, the scantiness of wages, the
uncertainties Of employment, the fierce
competition fostered by modern political
economy and the destruction Of domestic
Life resulting, all these and kindred causes
have rendered it impossible for men to live
u human life. How can man who works
fifteen or sixteen hours day live the
life of Il father to his children?
How can a woman who is absent from
home all day long do the duties of a mother?
Domestic lifeis impossible, but on the do
nestle life of the people the whole political
order of human society reposes. II the
foundation be ruined, what viii become of
the superstructure. The Emperor William

NEW YORK, Feb. 1G.-The Times Rome
correspondent says: although scarcely
q fortnight has elapsed since the death of
King Humbert's only brother, the Duke of
Aosta, rumors are already current concern
ing the disposal of the hand of the wild
owed duchess at the close OF the customary
twelve months mourning. The bride
groom chosen, popular report says, is no
less person than her step-son, the eldest
OF the three children of the late duke by
his hrst marriage In 1888 tue young
prince was not only deeply attached
to but head over cars in love with
his cousin Laetizia, and only awaited
his twenty -hrst birthday in order
TO make request in due form for
her hand. His father, the duke, NAV or
may not have been aware of his sons sen
timents in the matter. AT any
rate he appeared ignorant and put
forward ms Own modest pretensions

Mortified at the idea of becoming a rival in
love Of his father, of whom he is passion
ately fond, started off on his foreign tray
els from which he did not return until
three months after the wedding had taken
place. The prince is exceedingly hand
some, bearing a striking resemblance to his
mother. AS he has inherited an enormous
fortune from the latter, his marriage with
the widow duchess would clear up the
monied difficulties which she is now called
upon to face, her husband having left her
almost penniless and dependent on the
bounty of King Humbert. The affinity
between the prince and his stepmother
would not, according to the canon law of
the Catholic church, constitute as difficult
an impeachment TO that which existed be-
tween the late duke and his niece, ana in
view of the fact that the young man stands
next to the weakly, delicate crown prince

and that he is, like his father, very devout.

necessary dispensation.

have come to the conclusion that by OPEN

them in better condition for work at the
opening of the ball season and as all ball
players claim F'loridas climate to be the
best for training purposes, and as we in
tend making a strong pull for the pennant
of the Players league, we want our boys
to start in early for practice.n SHOW do
New York people feel towards the Players

understand, they have the sympathy Of
nine out of every ten baseball admirers,
and the Players league brotherhood will
be success from the start, while fear be-
fore July l, the principal clubs of the Ma
tional league will be compelled to go down
in their pockets to pay up the losses of the

played, for our rules make it an interest to
a man to play ball for all he is worth.''

An international Silver Dollar.

One Of the subjects under consid-
Grafton by the three American Con
gress, now in session, is uniformity
in coinage, weights and measures
among the nations therein represent
ed. 1t is large subject, and one
that presents many difficulties. An
attempt to solve the coinage problem
has been made by MIR. Estee, one of
the delegates, who has prepared
report, which will be presented to the
conference within a few days, and
which is of the greatest international
interest and Importance.
This report proposes a common
international dollar of 412-grains,
900 fine, to be issued by an Ameri-
can monetary union through bureau
Of three delegates-one from the
United States, one from the central
nations and one from SOnth America
the United States to coin not less
than 2,OOG, 900 nor more than 4,OOO,-
of such coins per month, and all the
other nations not to exceed 4,000,-
600, the amounts issued by these lat
ter to be in proportion to population.
These coins are to be legal tender in
all the countries and receivable for
all dues. The monetary union so
provided for shall be perfected by a
meeting of delegates from the several
countries in Washington next Janua-
ry, and shall become operative Janu-
ary l, 1892.
This, in brief, is the outline of Mr..
Estee's scheme. 1t is a large one,
and it will very probably meet with
many objections. 1t is, however, an
attempt to do something that is high
ly desirable to be done, and it should
receive the most respectful and ear
nest consideration of the Congress.

H1story's Dramatic Revenge

When ex-senator Bruce of Missis-
sippi enters upon his duties as Re-
corder of Deeds for the District of
Columbia his windows will look out
upon the site where stood for many
years before the war one of the best
known slave blocks in Washington.
In less than a minutes walk from his
office he can stand upon the very spot
where thousands of his race were
knocked down under the hammer.
1t is just about midway between the
Capitol and the the White House,
and is occupied by a drinking foun-
tain to-day. Where, few years
back, public men of worldwide fame
carelessly passed and repassed this
slave mart every day, history has
wrought one of its most startling and
dramatic changes. The colored man,
no longer a marketable chattel, pre-
sides over all the property convey
ances in the District. No transfer is
valid without his seal.
The record of the past thirty years
has been one of unparalleled feats of
human emancipation. Through the
combined DEGREES of Alexander of
Russia, Abraham Lincoln and the
good old Pedro of Brazil over thirty
million shackles have fallen from
serfs and slaves-an average of
over million a year. We have
seen in this country many violent
contracts between the old regime and
the new, but where can we find one
more dramatic than between that old
block and the present position of
BIznche X. Rruce2
On substantially the same spot
where the negro figured so recently
as only chattel he is vested to-day,
at the nations capital and under the
very caves of Congress, with official
control of all property transfers. The
hand once shackled on the block now
legalizes the bargains of his former
oppressor !-Neao York Press.

Is Vermont Ready?

Is Vermont ready for the question? .?
One thing is certain, she will not re-
peal her law to please the whiskey
men. She has kept it on her statue
book for 3S years because it didn't
please them. The first question she
will want settled is this; Does the
prohibitory law, enforced exactly as
it is enforced, damage the rum busi-
mess more than high license would !?
If so she wants to keep it. What
Vermont wants is to smash the bust
ness. For nearly 40 years she has
stood with free rum Canada pouring
down upon her from the North, with
license New York and license Massa-
chusetts surging across her western
and her southern shores, with prohi-
bitiOn New Hampshire poisoning all
her eastern border with its infamous
sinks of corruption in Littleton,
WOodsville and other neighboring
towns where the law is not enforced
and against all these odds, bearing
the taunts of foes and the reproaches
of friends with equal grace, she has
stood her ground and said, "Though
all the world give the foul traffic
leave to be, within my borders it shall
wear the brand of 'outlaw' and never
rear its head except in treason against
my law
She may have been mistaken, but
she has never come to believe that
less liquor will be sold where the law
says it may be sold than where the
law says it shan't be sold. She still
thinks that to license a traffic which
for forty years she has declared to be
a crime, would debauch the public
morals more than a righteous law.
even people are two cowardly to en-
force it as it ought to be. She is in
clined to think now that if these Rut-
land reformers felt half the zeal to
execute the law that they show in
trying to repeal it, her word would
be pretty we'll obeyed even in Rut-
land. -CdledOnidn.
