on the Labor Question.

Labor Day was fittingly and impress
lively observed in this city yesterday, the
parade, literary exercises and the picnic
being all largely attended, and great in
terest was everywhere manifested in the
demonstration. All the business houses
were closed, and the city wore a holiday
aspect.
AT $50 A. NJ. the procession began form
ing at Eleventh and J streets and the side
streets in that vicinity, and moved for
ward on its line of march promptly at
half-past 8. Headed by platoon of po-
lice, the procession marched from Elev-
enth down L to Ninth. thence to K, down
X to Third, thence to J, up to Ninth,
thence to /, countermarching on / street,
east Of Ninth. From thence the process
sion marched to the Clunie Opera house,
where the literary exercises took place.
The number in line, comprising the
members of the various labor unions OF
the city, was estimated at two thousand,
and the parade was distinguished by
good order and discipline. The mem
bers of a number of. the unions were in
uniform, and all of them carried elegant
banners Of various descriptions, but none
of the conventional notices or trite
phrases used commonly in labor demon
STATIONS were carried.
The order of the procession conformed
strictly with the published programme,
being headed by the First Artillery Band,
the Grand Marshal and Aids. city officers
in carriages, and the officers of the day,
President of the Federation, President of
the Day, Orator and Chaplain.
The procession was divided into three
divisions. The second was headed by
the Federation Band, and the third by
the Hussar Band.

appearance. Some members IN citizens
apparel were either decorated with taste
ful badges or bore emblems or banners
indicative of the branches they repre-
scented. The following was
