Mr.. WILSON'S CARE OF MS DISTRICT.
at looks now as though Hon. William
L Wilson will be u candidate for re-
election. Mr.. Wilson has paid so little
attention to tho interests Of his district
during the present session that it was
generally believed ho would not ask to
be continued in Office. He said, in sub
stance, on tho floor OF the house that in
preparing taril bill for the country
he did not consider the interests OF his
own district. lilo will scarcely go before
his people aud ask to be returned to
Congress, and say 10 them at the same
timo that, il elected, he will not con-
slider their interests. His people may
conclude that they want their interests
considered. Mr.. Wilson's unseltish
patriotism may enrich othor statcs. but
1t will make his own very poor. When
Mr.. Wilson refused to accept protection
for certain interests in his own district
he gave great emphasis TO his anti.pro-
,ection convictions. It is claimed by
many OF the people WHO voted for him
n. the last election that they did 80 be.
lieying that he would vote to keep coal
on the dutiable list, and that If 1t mad
been known before the election that he
would vote for FREQ coal he could not
hayo been elected. However this may
be, there Is no longer any doubt as to
how no will vote on this question. The
vote OF tho people Of his district at the
next election will be regarded as a
declaration OF their views upon the
tariff question. Tho campaign prom.
ises to DO M exceptionally intelligent
one, free from personal abuse, appeals
to passions aud preiudices. We expect
tho tariff and money questions TO DO

COMPLIMENT TO NATION AND MAN.

The request of the Chinese goyernmen
that ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster
should act as counsel to the peace commits
sioners sent to Toxic, and the assent OF
Japan to his officiating in that capacity,
prove that the influence of the United States
will be powerful in the settlement of the
questions at issue between those two en-
pires. This influence, of course, will be ex-
erted indirectly, for it Is clearly understood
that in nothing he says or IN any OF his acts
does Mr.. Foster represent any views or wishes
of. or carry out any instruction Or intimation
from this government.
1t is a somewhat unique spectacle, this
selection Of the premier of former admins
hation to lie chosen as an adviser in dis
pnte between two foreign nations. 1t is the
more remarkable because the quarrel has
taken the form of an appeal to arms, and
upon Mr.. Fosters tact and judgment will de-
pend in great measure the question of
further war or peace. Could the possibility
be conceived, for instance, of some former
prime minister OF England being asked TO ac:
as adviser to France at the time she was
forced to the wall by Germany?
Interest in this episode increases when it is
remembered that some time ago China was
quite anxious that Great Britain should act
as an intermediary between her and Japan,
and that this proposition was frowned upon
by the Japanese government. Nor is 1t Mt all
probable that Japan would have looked with
more favor upon a suggestion looking TO the
selection of an English statesman OF like
prominence with Mr.. Foster as advisory
counsel to China's peace commissioners.
China by her selection and Japan no less
by her acquiesence express the Conscience
each feels in the honesty and singleness of
purpose of American diplomacy and diplo-
matists. Although Mr.. Foster carries with
him no official authority from, or has even
any official connection with the government
Of the United States, the eastern nations ap-
preciate the fact that he represents the spirit
of American fairness and impartiality, and
that there is nc ulterior purpose he may have
to subserye.
Mr.. Fosters success in other missions of a
diplomatic character warrants the hope that
he will be no less fortunate in his present
delicate undertaking.
The Washington times., 1894-12-30
uNrA1R INSTRUMENTATION

The question has been asked: Why should
not the men In the Washington navy yard
who receive per diem pay have Jared as well
rs did the clerks with stated monthly sala-
ries in the matter of the Saturday half holi-
day? They certainly needed the half day
just as much as did the clerks, the loss to the
government. either in time or in money would
have been relatively no more in the one case
than in the other, and one class OF govern
ment employees has no rights, or should have
none, that any other class is not equally en-
titled to enjoy.
The discrimination cannot rest upon tn Q
respective capacity of the persons affected by
1t. The mechanic who turns the lathe by
which some part OF a piece of ordnance is ad-
insted to a nicety surely does. as much brain
work as the clerk who keeps the books or
conducts the correspondence. 1t is quite GER
tain he does more Drawn work. When it
comes to the giving OF a half holiday one
would think that an employe who is paid by
the day should stand on equal ground with
him that is paid by the month.
Incidentally itmay be asked why per diem
men should not be entitled to sick leave just
as well as the per month men, and, likewise,
why the skilled mechanics should be required
TO work eight hours a day when clerks only
work six and half hours. Is not the one
entitled to just as much consideration as the
other? Ii not, why not?

ORGANIZE THE ARMY OF LABOR.

Factional dissension, political theories,
fraternal jealousy and demago gic partisan
ship have long retarded the work OF labor re-
form and viii continue to delay ultimate sue
cess unless workingmen open their eyes to
the necessity OF putting aside political affilia-
tions and personal prejudice for the grand
purpose Of creating n better feeling Of har-
mony throughout labor circles.
The best general who ever lived could not
conquer without thoroughly organized and
disciplined army. Nor can workingmen
achieve success in overcoming the troubles
that beset them without a perfect and har-
monious organization. For the present, at
least, workingmen OF all political faith should
withdraw from active politics, except when
an organized effort is mada-fo accomplish
some worthy purpose. Democracy. Repub-
licanism. Populism, Single Tax, and other
party theories may be good If their principles
are carried into effect. but neither of them
are worth considering when compared to the
good TO be accomplished by an united, har-
nonious, non-partisnn labor organization.
With the solid vote of the labor element
monopoly could be swept out of existence,
trusts and other destroyers of individual
rights could be relegased 10 history. and pub
lie officers, who become tools for capital could
be divested OF power and publicly disgraced.
Measures OF great importance could be
enacted into laws, and laws that are burden
some could be cxpunged from our statute
books. But these much-needed reforms can
not be brought about under existing circum-
stances.
Every Korkingman knows why it cannot be
done, and he also realizes that politics. with
its denagogy, is the real obstacle in the way
OF more extended and harmonious system
Of organized labor. Drop politics, dema-
gogues, and members OF organizations who
insist upon keeping up factional strife and

OUR NERo,s GREAT WORK.

The woes and trIbulaiions of cur Nero
seem TO multiply and become more burden
some, and unless there is change IN popu-
lar sentiment and e different method adopted
Tor administering public affairs, the food OF
Noah viii go on record as q spring freshet
compared to the washout of Clevelandism
that viii take place at the next national
election.
The mistakes of Moses will dwindle to in
significance and be forgotten when the full
chapter of this administrations idiocy be
comes a part Of history. Already the cozntry
has demonstrated its disapproval by an
overwhelming majority, but our Nero is deaf
TO anything but the report of his shotgun,
and unless conditions change receiser from
the lower regions viii soon take possession of
our few remaining assets.
Germany and Denmark have closed their
ports to American live and dressed meats;
Spain and Cuba have practically cut of our
-four trade; one hundred millions in bonds
have been sold to maintain our credit; six
States have made public appeals to prevent
people from starving; hundreds OF thousands
OF wage-earners in other States are out of
employment and are also objects OF charity;
Louisiana has brought suit for her sugar
bounty; New York capitalists refuse to pay
the income tax; bankers throughout the
country propose to force gold to a premium
because OF the Carlisle bill; two foreign
powers have iuggled with our proffer to come
10 their assistance; political dynamite has
scattered and nearly destroyed the great
Democratic party, and amid all these mis-
fortunes our Nero finds comfort. nay de-
light. in that highly intellectual pastime of
shooting ducks and catching porgies with a
hoo. and line.
Don't say Mr.. CleTeland is not responsible
for these disasters. All Of them, yes all OF
them, are attributable TO his obstinacy and
bad Judgment. Congress was a contributory
agent only to the extent of an unavoidable
delay in the tariff law, and that delay was
caused by AIr. Cleveland's neglect TO call an
early session.
Perhaps something will turn up to change
the tide in public affairs and bring relief TO g
that change will never be traced TO the
fountain head OF wisdom that heeds the
squawk OF duck before he does an appeal
from starving thousands. Our Nero is not Of
heroic mould to put aside personal pleasure
for the relief OF people, nor has he sufficient
seli-denial to advocate measures for public
good that conflict with private iuteres Is.
And yet from the standpoint OF a duck
hunter our Nero is great man.

Priests VIII Make it Effective Through
the Confessional.
The manner of executing the Catholic
Church edict against membership in the
knights OF PythIas. Odd Fellows and other
secret societies, announced exclusively
through the Associated Press, is now receiy-
ing the careful consideration of the church
aut isorities
Mgr. Satolli has transmitted the decision TO
the heads of all dioceses throughout the coun-
try, and it remains for them to carry it 10
parish priests. and for the latter to give it
practical application and execution, each
having considerable latitude as to how he
shall act. No time is set within which the
heads OF dioceses may act.
Some already have notified their parish
priests to read the prohibition to congrega-
items to-day at the announcements preceding
masses. Other bishops have not required
public announcement to congregations. as
the communications from Rome aud rom
Mgr Satolh do not direct formal publica-
tion ana these may make it effective largely
through the confessional.
1t therefore may take some time for the
Papal degree TO become fully effective and TO

bership in secret societies after the order OF
the church becomes known.
Communion is not taken necessarily more
than once a yea, though it is rusto mary
with most Catholics to take communion 10
which confession is an absolute essential at
Easter.
Other means, however. are at hand for
speedily carrying the papal order into prac-
ticai effect. There are published lists of the
members OF the Knights OF Pythias and other
societies, so that Catholic members of them
are readily ascertaiDahle. Should these men,
bers remain away from confession beyond a
year they would thereby cut themselves of
from the church.
voluntarily abandon their society connections
and receive absoiuton. or else be examined
on the subject and if refusing to abandon
their connections absoiution would be with
held.
This would also operate to cut off the
church member from communion and there
fore from membership in the church No
formal accommodation wouln be requisite.
It is pointed out that the church decision
will be more important in keeping Catholics
from joining the prohibited societies in the
future. Ia this respect the church antheri-
ties say the decision should not be construed
as against the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fell
lows ETC.. but only as a rule of conduct en-
joined on members OF the church, whereby
the church retains control of the conscience
of its members instead of letting them be
bound by secret oaths.
